Love is.

Another young couple referred to local church for a food parcels - with a bit from us.


Just some basics, cheap bread, milk, rice, pasta, cheapo tea bags (which I find yukky) couple of tins of own brand supermarket beans, soup and tomatoes. Potatoes, and my own chopped veg mix, and home made toddler food, cos it's cheaper that way. If nothing else they can do a 'knock together' for a couple of days.


No meat though. There's a good chance they were on pay as you go for fuel, and meat doesn't keep. They'll get tinned meat from the food centre.


I try not to make value judgements. But  I get a nervous twitch when someone's mobile rings in their pocket. They can afford mobile credit? I draw a line if someone pulls up in car. Ahuh. A car seems essential if you're used to one. Cars to me are a luxury. When you add up maintenance, tax, insurance, and you can afford that, you don't need feeding. I understand that State side, fair enough. But not here in the UK.


Waddda'ya want? Food or petrol? Petrol /Gas is the wrong answer.

Don't you just hate it when people are in conflict about something, and their way of sorting it is to yell a lot?


It's like, their brought up to believe that being rude, noisy, sarcastic, and gladiatorial is the way to resolve a problem. No, it isn't. It just means the noisy one wins, which is no solution at all. It means that the way to resolve a dispute is to bully everyone else into submission.    


If I may be blunt, well, cobblers. 


The secret is to sit back, and detach yourself. Pull back, don't get involved, and watch.
