I think Chewing Tripe is something you learn with time. I chew more tripe now than when I was younger. It’s really an art form. If you want to keep your sanity you learn to chew tripe. I remain silent (& chew tripe) if I know nothing can be done about a given situation. But if I see a definite wrong, and something must be done, I refuse to chew tripe. But then, that’s me.
Thanks for your interest in my story. Good advice here. Yes we must chew tripe too often. I had my fill of it for a long time for various reasons including poor self esteem. I try to limit my interactions with people who might cause tripe chewing. Then again, we can’t go into a cave or something. Well, most of us don’t want to do that. It’s fun to create new terms, and I don’t actually think they will ever catch on. But one never knows.
amazing, I was just spitting out the tripe as I picked up your story. It's my day off, and I don't want to do anything just yet. My dog is up in the bed with me, and my wife is busy making a racket in the livingroom. So, I'm chewing it. You're so right we all go through it, caring more or knowing more than those idiots charged with actually carrying out the day to day stuff around us. It's maddening,and our expectations are that it will only get worse with time. Hang in there old buddy, we're all sick and tired of the incompetence we're surrounded by and lack of control we have "on the journey". Thanks for the observation.
Rob, thanks so much for taking interest in my story. Sorry you had to chew some tripe today. Ya know, so many people get used to it and begin to not mind the taste. That is not a great thing, in my opinion. Maddening is a great word to use for this topic. We must remember that the world is full of little mysteries that we cannot solve. Full of them. Thanks for the encouragement.
You don’t look 66 at all. Well I thank you for the option of getting some encouragement. I’m not doing that bad at all but I still have remnants of perfectionism that I fight.
I had a long response written out but I deleted it somehow you'll be fine we'll all be fine I believe God is in control and I mean that sincerely the more you surrender to His will the easier it is to be strong. You don't mention God very much in iur writings, so I don't know if you are a believer or not but my life really changed when I started to believe and it gave me strength, some circumstances changed not all, so carry on Straw!

life is all about chewing tripe these days, I'm 66, with a lot of unrealized dreams, but decent health and a narrowing focus.

yeah, I get that way too

Thanks for the kind words. Yes I’m carrying on. That’s what we must do despite frustrations.
