Pet Peeve #....
Sep. 7th, 2013 10:34 amNow that a couple days have passed and Mom is back home from the hospital(well enough to give us a ring the morning post hospital to ask if we wanted to go with them to the farmer's market at 0700;>)that the normal BS of life gets noticed.
I admit, I'm one of those annoying folks that "Support Our Own". Now, doing so for "My Other Tribe" hasn't been a problem since I made the decision in the early 80's. Sure, most of the time it costed a bit more but nothing horrific and when something didn't arrive within a reasonable time, it was they who usually contacted me(that is, if the problem was on their end;>). Not so much with the alt.rel community.
Thing is, as you get older, you become less-n-less Tolerant of, well BS. Stuff that I would "deal" with "In Solidarity" 30,20 even a decade ago today...not so much. Truthfully, the Heathen businesses I've dealt with hasn't been always up to Lore Standards either but compared to the majority of Pagan ones I've personally dealt with?
So, once again I'm "dealing" with "Pagan Standard Time". Annoying at a festival but in a business setting? Esp. after they've cashed the cheque?. So, more than a month later I've doing what little one CAN do with mail-order companies.
One thing I've come to the conclusion with MOST of the Pagan businesses I've PERSONALLY dealt with over the last 30 yrs. The MAIN reason they started businesses was so no one could tell them when and how hard to work.
In other words, to remain eternally a Teen....
Cheers,
Pat
