It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!

DTR breakroom May 7 - 12
Good morning from Paradise where yet another boringly beauuuutiful day is dawning.
What is happening to the DTR breakroom? It appears to be falling apart. Looks like the newbies don't enjoy participating in the variety of activities that occur here. Strange because I see that there are many readers, but no participation.
Made a small pot of coffee and ph00. Not going to bother with food 'cuz who will be around to enjoy it? Petted and fed the dragon. Took it for a walk around the block. It's fast because before I could do anything it ate two of the neighborhood dogs. I know nothiiiinnnngggg!!!!!
Just for kicks, will bring up a subject for y'all to maybe talk about. I know that the DTR members have a wide age range, from teenagers to old farts, so are any of you part of the the next worst generation? Are old farts considered a generation?

I agree with his words at 2:00 mark.
They're lazy,entitled, narcissistic, addicted to their phones, want a trophy, .... yada, yada, offended by everything... I don't go to Applebees, so I really don't get that anyway.
My experience is that a very large proportion of these "millennials" are exactly that. Since it's a not a good idea to brush everyone in that age group with the same broad description, then I will say that this doesn't apply to all of them, as it's no different to say that "all black people are bad" or "all white people who live in trailers are trash".
What I personally like to do is treat everyone the same, initially with respect. When I receive their response, if it's reflective of reciprocal respect, then the interaction continues, otherwise, I walk and move on to the next task. I don't care what you look like, color, size, shape or any other physical attribute that you possess. It's your reactions, or your actions that I examine, and use as a gauge for what or whom you are.
I've opened the door, (here in the third most negative state in the union), for many people when walking into, or out of a store. I've had the "millennial" response from young people, middle aged people and even people that fit the octogenarian category. If you suck, it's relatively easy to discern it from the first interaction with you.
It doesn't matter your age. What matters is how your parents have instilled (or have failed to instill) proper Etiquette . If you deserve my attention, you will respond courteously, and will receive the appropriate re-sponse, otherwise you're dead to me.

Hi gang - - well, not a gang, just three of you. Ph00 pot was on the floor and spilled but licked up. No one bothered to give the dragon some ph00 - - he/she loves it. .........................
..................but, t00 late to make some now. Just got in from working at the other house most of the day. Finally got my screen door - - Lowes salesperson forgot to order it - - - DUH - - but another store had one. So now I get to shorten it and install it, fix some mica on a cabinet, paint the driveway, carpets getting shampooed Thursday. Getting close. Whew.............
Tired and have not eaten much since breakfast. Go see what the blonde can fix up for me. Y'all be good.

Gee, no one been around for two days. No ph00. No goodies. Got the carpet cleaning done at the other house and brought them to mine also. Needed some dressing up. Getting close to lock the door and hand the key to the realtor. Whew.
Be good.
Be good.

Hey fellas. Picked up some beer, threw it,in the,fridge, and ready for,the taking. I'm not saying what brand it us, as we don't need no flame wars over what,is,real beer, or good beer, vs crap beer. Its whatever you like it to be, as I've spiked it with mescaline, and it won't matter after your first drink..

Hey - -I was afraid they would stale and then all we would hear is complaining. So, took them back home and had a pool party last night with the neighbors. Took the dragon with me and let him/her swim a bit in the pool (after we were done - - .), then brought him/her back here. Was not happy to be left alone again, but he/she had fun meeting everyone and splashing around.
