Is it ok to affirm someone's untrue beliefs?

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 29, 2020:

I have never had an employer who was even remotely interested in what I believed in, except for my first full time + employer, the US Army. Then I had to swear to uphold and defend the constitution, and I was really OK with that and I would do it again today, in fact I've never stopped doing it. If it is an acquaintance who is asking what I believe in, that will depend on the social situation. In a work based setting I'm not going to advertise I'm an atheist, no sense in giving anyone at work any ammunition for anything. My work life and social life are pretty strictly separated. I've never had to have that conversation with any of my neighbors, and I've lived where I am for almost 8 years. The siblings I associate with are well aware of my beliefs. If any acquaintance starts spouting flat earth or other untrue BS, I'm likely to just walk away. I have given up on being the idiot whisperer. If I judge the beliefs a danger to me I may speak up, or may just remove myself from any contact with the. Some of the best life advice is "choose your battles." If it is endangering one of my offspring I will come out swinging, if not, they're a failure of the education system and I don't have time or strength to take that fight on.

I have learned so much about senior health and meds for diabetes and diabetic complications. You may have to flat out ask your doc what he/she can give you for the neuropathy. Make your wants/needs known.

Our Christmas "dinner" can be whatever we want it to be, Thanksgiving in the US there is usually a choice of Ham or Turkey. I had my Thanksgiving dinner last Saturday with some of the family, today I have been home alone. Tomorrow one of the kids is delivering a Thanksgiving meal to me. Friday is the day of the post Thanksgiving abomination called Black Friday which I refuse to participate in. Our Christmas day festivities usually begins with breakfast of Sausage gravy on biscuits, that is our tradition. 3 years ago our Christmas festivities had to be expanded to include a birthday for my first grandchild, she will be 4 on Christmas day, and every child deserves a birthday celebration.

I am alone today too. We had a family Thanksgiving last Saturday, two of the girls were there, but it was a small gathering. Today I am sewing, and doing laundry. I have a quilt to finish. I'm also fasting. I don't know if I will fast all day or not, but I decided as this is an unusual Thanksgiving I will really bend the norms. One of the kids is going to bring by a feast tomorrow, so I will eat a more traditional meal tomorrow. Tomorrow I also have to complete some mandatory overtime. This is totally not the normal, but kinda not surprising given the rest of 2020.

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 25, 2020:

My bed has a quilt, and a blanket, and more quilts, and some afghans on it, And usually a cat or two somewhere. I even keep a fan on most of the winter. I keep the bedroom cool, but not cold. I have always loved the weight of blankets, I sleep better under the weight of the blankets. During the day I wear jackets or sweaters as needed. While I am WFG I wear yoga pants and Tshirts, one long sleeve with a short sleeve underneath. Then I add a lap quilt to my lap and usually have a fleece jacket on.
