I survive but the tender-nails and have often considered just walking and I can walk to, at a methodical pace. In short I usually get where I am going but these days who really knows?
irish neighbors back?
Huh?
I have a lesson. Welcome to my world! It's not great and not fashionable and the people speak about 50 different languages. I find that kinda a good thing.
Frames of reference are down to the persona which can change. Heck I wash my clothes at the Laundrette with people I don't know, don't understand me but for the most part and with a bit of hand movement manage a smile in bad times, all there understand. You get me?
I'd rather clamp down on outsourcing work to other countries because I love American people. I don't understand mostly what goes on here and a Commander in the Armed forces I met at a Inspection centre didn't either.
Not about you. It's about how much you are willing to adapt and adapt you must because these are strange times indeed to my thinking.
America was built on this and though I do agree its sometimes irksome to see other folks working while you watch from a window during the day. There might just come a time when everyone will work together for a change? Heck I know our stability as a Nation stands on it.

ive been unemployed for SIX months and have been shut out of free training classes because im overly-educated and not with drug, money, or housing problems. so, my cheap, frugal lifestyle and choice to abstain from drugs is now working against me.
i live in an area w/ a robust economy, and therefore theres been high immigration here for decades. they do not assimilate. soccer has almost killed little league baseball. the FM radio dial? you guessed it - all spanish-language stations. i guess thats due to demand, but i choose to live in the united states, not mexico north (and i dont mean to ridicule).
i just want my old culture back - steelers games, irish neighbors, polish food, and english everywhere, not stares from people who bring their feelings of isolation onto themselves. so im moving soon.
my parents are from a non-anglo country, so i have a frame of reference. im not just an angry white man.
