[nfbmi-talk] Straight Stuff

[Tonya Smith]

Mary, I'm gonna say something and this is what Greg, my husband, told me. Now I used to buff the parts where someone would complain about this, complain about that, I would try and buff it. Okay? And I did that so much that I got to the point of picturing a revolving door. So finally, Greg told me, "You know what, if people can't accept you for who you are and for what you do, and the way you do things, then, they are the ones who have the problem. You shouldn't have to do stuff just because everyone else does it or just because they want you to. You do what you wanna do. They're only telling you what they want you to do because it will make them happy. You can't make people happy all the time. And if you do, then you're just gonna make yourself miserable.

> I have read the article posted about Larry's appointment.  Yah, it sure is a bunch of hogwash!  I only recently became involved with our NFB colleagues because I got tired of having to get hastled because I wanted to do what everyone wants to do!  You know, have a job, raise a family, go to church or the bar, walk down the street with pride wheather I use a dog or cane, which frequently do both and occasionally go fishing or cook for other folks!  I want to do these things because that's what people do, not because I want to have folks think that I'm really different!  Well, I am but not for that reason!  That has something to do with my personality or something!  Any way, when I was an opporator, Fred Wurtzel was my supervisor and even though he and I sometimes sort of dissaggreed, he treated me well and I never got the feeling that he was being sneaky in any way.  Larry was also a colleague in Bep as well.  I admired the way he does business because he always seems to shoot straight from the hip.  It seems that with Mr. Cannon the shannanigans are to be expected and we sure need to have someone to make his circumloqutions clear to us!  Now that I am becoming active, I will look up to Fred and Larry and try to do what they do!  Also, because they are so much older than me!  So, let the fun begin!
