What would "giving up" look like for you?

Unless you go on a 3 hour harbor cruise like I did. Then you’re stuck for the duration.

I’m not afraid to jump overboard and bail for the distant shore.
Yes I am.

No joke, this is why I don’t accept invitations to things I can’t leave. No cruises for me, thank you. No outings miles away if I’m depending on someone else for a ride, unless it’s someone I really trust and can talk to about the need to leave should it arrise. I was supposed to go to a baseball game a few weeks ago, while out of state at a conference, but when I realized that I would be in another city with no way to get back from the stadium if I felt like I had to just get out of there…<shudder> Fortunately ( :confused: ) the plane ride was very rough on me and so using the excuse that I wasn’t up to it was not a stretch at all.

If anyone ever asks if the subscription fee is worth it, point to this thread. I’ve started therapy again today because of it.

Wow. Great!

Giving up would be walking into the deep woods in winter without a cell phone.
Sort of like the Cree tradition of sickly old people just going into the woods and lying down to die.

Congratulations!

It’s hard work but necessary.
