Maybe that could explain things too.

Are you not able to keep body and soul together for your loved ones? You've told us how much time you're able to take off from work to enjoy your family, I wish I could spend that much time with my family and still be able to support them. I totally agree about there being a selfish society...but let "selfish society" go their own way and live happily in your own life would be a nice way to go.

Personally it seems like these arguments might be trying to make me and the other multi-day park go-ers guilty about our love of it or something. It's not a nice feeling for me at all. But, of course, I can't speak for anyone else but myself.

Originally Posted By Lisann22 It's what has driven me away from LP. It's not a very pleasant place anymore.

Originally Posted By Lisann22 I don't believe in being in denial. I think you can color yourself delusion and unhealthy by just being merry, merry, merry but surrounding yourself by constant carping and negativity is never good.
Originally Posted By Sara Tonin Well, it's good to see you around here and there, honey. I don't think any of us would be as rude or disrespectful in person as some are while hiding in the anonymity of the internets.

And Lisa, if you were referring to me, it would have been good to talk. I suppose I am a fighter, always will be, it's what has gotten me through so far. This week the mood has been particularly bad due to ill health, financial and work pressures. Not a lot can about them either. I suppose finding causes to debate or focus on keeps me going. But it is happening again. Time to break the cycle.
