Your new money man named Bernie Madoff by any chance??
So, people don't have to take marriage classes to learn to ask and to answer difficult questions first??
I wish it were required everywhere. A small dose of reality to bring their floating feet a little closer to Earth's surface.
Peals of bells, rather than funeral tollings, a good thing.

Ha oh well!
All in a day's work. I wonder if another day another buck applies to your occupation.

I can relate.
I used to feel that way about things, but as I have gotten older I don't let
things like that bother me any more, I try to remember that everything happens
for a reason and when it does what can I learn from it?

I think we all get testy when we are walking on the edge
of a crumbling cliff, and someone comes along with bluster and bounce, testing the limits, testing the edge--As the young are wont to do. Being old is a bitch, and there is nothing to be done about it... If someone is not given to immense good nature and very secure in their faith, it is easy to see how bitterness arises... easy to see why the old are often querulous and how their natural resistance to giving in to it meekly turns them quarrelsome: We fight what we can fight.
Maybe this old man is still trying to show he is of some consequence in the community, still able to serve, to be of value.

How can it be
that the old were once young? Patience must really be a virtue...

I'm glad you are getting to think happy thoughts
and I hope the stress doesn't increase. I know this is very bad joke but maybe you could ask if the old man has made his funeral plans yet.LOL I'm sorry but I use humor a lot when I'm stressed. Even if I wouldn't really say it, I can envision a scene from the Vicar of Dibley where this could be asked.

It's been many years since I attended a church business meeting, but I never did really enjoy them. They were too lively (in a bad way) for me. I never did like bickering.
I'm sure you have your hands full with those old men.

I couldn't agree more with the last sentence!! I do read and enjoy your posts, even if I don't always leave a comment. Thanks for stopping by, and appreciating the poem. God bless. Nita.
