Relying on others is an example of interdependence.
Workplace Conflict, Team Dynamics, Mutual Reliance.

So far, it's been irritating, disappointing and to some extent - rewarding.

If I get discouraged, I will just resign. So far, management is behind me and letting me have pretty much free rein.

Sometimes technology works to my advantage.
I use the BP app on my phone to pay for fuel near my house.
Tonight I got more than my $.20 a gallon reward for using the app.
Sign outside said: $3.04 per gallon
My price was only $1.94.9 per gallon.
And even better I needed 3/4 of a tank to fill it up 👌
This was fuel for my Ford Edge ST

Video shows massive fire from a UPS plane crash about 5:15pm today in Louisville, Kentucky just after takeoff.
The plane only lifted slightly off the ground before crashing and exploding in a huge fireball.
It was filled full with cargo and 9 hours of Jet Fuel for a 9 hour flight to Honolulu Hawaii

Today marks a day 50 years ago in history.
I recently heard the song recorded by Gordon Lightfoot 50 years ago after loss of this ship.
I have always liked this song very much and shared it below here.

People are gathering at ceremonies around the Great Lakes this weekend to honor the memories of the 29 crew members who died a half-century ago on
Nov. 10, 1975, when the Edmund Fitzgerald — the largest freighter on the Lakes at the time — sank during a ferocious storm on Lake Superior.
Fifty years later, the loss of a ship known as the “Titanic” of the Great Lakes remains one of the most famous shipwrecks in history.

Hello People...I grew up in the 60's and 70's
I never once questioned my parents income. It was never a discussion. We ate homemade meals consisting of whatever was available.
You ate what was served, or didn't eat at all. We grew up during a time when we mowed lawns, pulled weeds, babysat, and helped neighbors with chores.
By no means were we given everything we wanted. We went outside a lot to play, run with friends, play hide and seek, catch lightning bugs in a jar, or went bike riding.
We rarely just sat inside. Bottled water was unheard of. If we had a Coke, it was in a glass bottle, and we didn’t break the bottle when finished.
We saved it and returned it to the store for a deposit.
After school, we came home, did homework and chores, before going outside or having friends over. We would play for hours.

We had to tell our parents where we were going, with whom we were going, and had to be home before dark, or when the streetlights came on.
You LEARNED from your parents instead of disrespecting them and treating them as if they knew absolutely nothing.
What they said was LAW, and you did not question it, and you had better know it!
We watched what we said around our elders and neighbors because we knew if we DISRESPECTED any grown-up, we would get a real telling off or whooping, it wasn't called abuse, it was called discipline! We held doors, carried the shopping bags, and gave up our seat for an older person without being asked.
You didn't hear swear words on the radio in songs or on TV.
“Please and Thank you", were part of our daily vocabulary!

The world we live in now is just so full of people who hate and disrespect others. It’s sad.
I will never forget from where I came and only wish children and people nowadays had half the chance at the fun and respect for real life that we had. And we were never bored!

I also grew up in the Midwest, except in the 50s and 60s. You knew what was expected of you and appreciated what you had. We worked hard but felt gratitude for what you accomplished. We had direction.
