Re: [RC] [RC] camping and generators Don't be haters - oddfarm
Alrighty people, take a deep breath.
Just because certain material keeps some people
warm, doesn't mean it will keep others warm. No one has suggested being
inconsiderate and running generators no matter what. Just because some of us
like creature comforts doesn't mean the rest of you die hards should want us to
choke on carbon monoxide. Please bring your kids and camp anyway you want to.
Golly Angie, you can "one up" better than anyone else I know. ;)
We all have different ideas about camping. So what?
It is not something to argue about and it certainly isn't something that
deserves so much negative discussion. I don't know why so many people think so
many other people should be just like them. Rigid and unforgiving may be a
little strong but that is what pops out the most to me.
By the way, when I write things like "so what" and
"what's the big deal?", before you comment back, think for just a second.
I don't mean it as "I'll do whatever I want", I
mean it as "In the big scheme of things, how important is it for me to get upset
over that? So what if you got up and turned on your generator? Maybe you have
someone in your trailer that needs a nebulizer to breath every now and again.
Maybe you need to keep your generator on for heat because even though your mom
is fighting cancer and has a hard time regulating her body temp, she still came
to help out with the kids. My, doesn't that paint a different picture? I never
suggested breaking rules, but I did suggest a little *flexibility* goes a long
way.
No one caught that, I guess.
What's the big deal if camping ain't what it use to
be? If I don't like it, I don't have to go. The whole world is changing. I can
either deal with it, and practice my anger management, (and I DO need
practice) or I can stay home. I can't police the whole world. Nor do I want
to. That is way more stress than I am prepared to deal with. I'll let the rest
of you do it.
