Left Handed Compliments | How They Work, Why They Happen.

How does the song go about what the World needs now, is love sweet love?

Hmmmm. Hum a few bars crooned and scribed by Burt from Kansas City at the center stage Yamaha grand piano and you’ll remember the lines. But today the art of left handed compliments. What they are, how they work, why they happen.

The first time I heard the expression I thought about left handed cigarettes.

Those pick, dry, grind and roll your own herbage that are grown way way out back with the saw tooth patterned leaves and buds riddled with THC. But those make you mellow, maybe feisty for the last piece of pizza or cranked to holler using your outdoor recess voice to “turn it up, cause Mister Man, Chummy here comes the good part”.

As you air guitar with the best of them to “Stranglehold”. Or some Canned Heat, Grateful Dead, Phish tune in the back ground of a smoke filled den of inequity.

Apply Ice. Playing By The Rules. Living Simply In Maine.

But left handed compliments can miss the mark and still be well intentioned enough.

Like Yogi Berra utterances. a string of malapropisms assembled to make a profound statement that lives on and on. But most left handed compliments are designed to malign and have literary prickly barbs manufactured to sting.

To draw blood, hit an artery to do the most collateral damage.

The Wikipedia definition of a left handed compliment.

“A backhanded compliment, also known as a left-handed compliment or asteism, is an insult that is disguised as a compliment. Sometimes, a backhanded compliment may be inadvertent. However, the term usually connotes an intent to belittle or condescend.”

Yeah, what the World needs now is lots more of those. Like anything good or bad, there is an art form, a skill with practice makes perfect.

You must know someone that is gifted at left handed compliments. Can you count the number on one hand?

Maine Explained With Social Media Examples.

You don’t forget these people when you or a loved one is the red dot assassin’s target painted on the mark as the next in line to receive one or two or three.

Made just for you like a chunk of silver melted down, poured into a bullet mold to cool then slid down the long, narrow rifle barrel.

With plenty of gunpowder and cotton wadding to pack it in wicked good for the ready, aim, fire.

Everyday examples of a left handed compliment might include a comment about your newly painted kitchen.

When observed, nothing is said for a pregnant pause moment or two as just the right comment is formulated just so. And then volumes are spewed beyond just the sentence or two. With “Oh my gosh, look your new kitchen color, is that school bus yellow?”

Or “My, my, that dress color is definitely you, it does such a good job of hiding the layer of fat around your waist. Really it does wonders for you.” And “What a beautiful baby boy, just precious and would you look look at how long his arms are, really, just like a monkey he is. Coochie coochie coo. ”

Picking, Grinning, Spinning The Tale At The Maine Affordable Housing Conference. Jimmy Wayne Performs, Tells About His Homelessness Growing Up.

In the movie Step Mom, the jilted ex wife is asked by her young son while the pair ride horses over hill and dale if she thinks Dad’s new, fun, young girlfriend is pretty.

She deliberates, reflects as the steeds walk and cool off from a trot or canter or hand gallop change in the pace of travel. And then utters “She’s kinda pretty, if you like big teeth”.

To which the young son ponders her remark and makes the sincere offer. “I’ll hate her if you want me to Mom”.

To get better at something, to develop a skill of any type, something has to drive the process. The fire in your belly.

Passion to do good, compliment and lift up, cheer a person is the good carrot and stick. Fear, envy, hatred. Not so much good comes out of those lonely ingredients. What goes in, what comes out is black or white but how sensitive the receiving end of the left handed comment is matters too.

If they don’t hit their mark, if no flinch or blush appears on the scene, you’re deemed no fun by the creator of the one of a kind, left handed comment designed just for you. The quip, dig, bite goes unrewarded. The pleasure is in the squirm it would seem. Uncomfortable for all within ear shot matters not to the orator hell bent on election to prove a point eloquently and with perfect timing. To put someone in their place. To call them out.

Maine Is Rich Colors, Simple Pleasures, Natural Beauty.

Why do they do it, have to be snarky?

And how come if you are not the target of the moment, that Gatlin gun will swing high, wide and handsome to your “you are here” location.

To come around and put you in the critical cross hairs. Unless you run for the hills, high tail it to points unknown to shield yourself from the harsh treatment. Or toughen up. Stop being the target.

Seeing the red flag to wave your white one.

An insult insulated to appear as a compliment at first brush or glance. Yup, you have just been served up a left handed compliment.

Can you spot the left handed commenters in a crowd? The pursed, lemon sucking lips are one clue. It takes a lot of energy sucking it out of others and shows up on the face first.

Is the problem we live in a right handed World? And everyone has to just settle down, adjust, toe the line for peace and harmony? And it does take supreme effort because something deep inside, parked down by the soul just makes it that you, I , others can not help ourselves.

Relax, Unplug, Recharge In Maine. There Is No Bad Time To Unwind. Cross The Big Green Bridge. Visit ME.For A Two Nation Vacation.

Your resentment once you get a handle on your emotions in a left handed conversation turns to curiosity about how and why they do it.

Maine is the 42nd least dense state and all that wide open outdoors increases our awareness. Helps create the space to get along, to be more connected and to over look faults. Less judgemental and more accepting.

We need each other in small Maine towns for the greater good. Get to Maine. Don’t stand her up, keep her waiting. The fresh air, clean water, all this four season unspoiled pure surroundings does a body good.

Small Maine Town Driving, Everyone Pays Attention On The Open Road.

Small Maine towns, where everyone is more connected, somehow related through DNA or work, social, church or volunteer endeavors.

Driving in a small Maine town is more personal too.

I have been looking up and down I-19 in Clearwater, Tarpon Springs Florida on vacation before and thinking how do I swim with the other highway fish in this blur? Some drivers I noticed just count to ten and floor the Cadillac or Lincoln. Blast off and hope for the best.

Maine, A Fun Place Inside And Out. Drive The Back Roads And Discover Much About Maine, Yourself.

Sitting too low in the seat and eyes level or just below the dashboard.

And their right foot pushing the pedal to the metal and just going for it. Drive fast not so worried about the accurate part being the rule of the open road in cities where it can seem like dog eat dog.

Don’t give an inch. Don’t drive cowardly, like you wore a yellow streak down your back.

Or I remember being in Santa Monica with the owner of a Volvo wagon that had 22,000 miles on it that was halfway through the third set of brake pads. One foot on the gas, one on the brake and hang on. NASCAR style high wide and handsome with up to six car lanes abreast and packed solid.

If there is half a car length we are going to jockey for position to squeeze into it, make it grow to fit the in and out weaving wagon. That sash shay swayed back and forth at a rate causing vertigo, dizziness and white knuckles for this riding shot gun blogger.

Lifted By The Wind, Powered By Hot Air In Oakfield Maine.

But in small Maine towns this is a typical scenario driving the streets and roadways.

Knowing the vision of say Melbourne Jackins was fading, and realizing he had a Fisher angled snow plow on the front of that approaching pick up.

You wave, stop, move to the shoulder like he was at the wheel of a cop car or ambulance with a ear piercing siren blaring. Get out of the way.

Partly out of courtesy and respect your elders. Also because a date with a fender bender dent puller auto body shop is not on the list of highly entertaining recreational options in small town Maine.

Spare your wallet and the arm wrestling with the insurance carriers of the two cars involved in the crash.

You know the people you hold doors for and let go in traffic. There are no strangers on the in town, country roads.

Unplugged, Hard Wired Into Maine’s Outdoor HBO.

Baldy Inman with his black bow tie dark gray Caddy had swerved into my driveway to sell a ticket on a Rotary function and while backing out, grazed the pick up door of Jock Gentle who was in looking for some Maine property listings.

Jock saw, heard the trading paint mishap as it happened and just raised his hand, shook his head and smiled. Said that’s okay.

“He is a nice old man and I hope to be one some day too. ” Just should not go into box canyons or use the reverse gear at his driving stage of life.

The big car added safety to the equation though and made him easier to see than the dark Amish buggies when dusk approaches and you just don’t always see them on radar.

Eddie Williams, a doctor grew up in Linneus and his raven black haired mom was known for two things. Being the school cook that made kids, teachers and any lucky visitors to the Roosevelt School on US Rt 2A feel like they were royalty in the cafeteria.

Maine. We Stick Together, Like Momma Duck, The Kids In Tow.

Fed cake so thick, moist, delicious that the state investigated and found the frosting had to be a little less tall, the cake created underneath de-tuned, tamed, pruned back.

With more prison like ingredients used so as not to spoil the students and faculty alike. The stuff she cooked was addictive.

Peanut button balls like no others back when they were not Kryptonite to kids that had life threatening allergies that made them lift fingers to form a cross to shun them if down the table lurking in a school lunch. And blondies like brownies with nuts, chocolate chips long before you could find them next to check out counters. As one impulse item you can not help reaching up and snatching for snackage on the way by.

These original squares as big as your head and not shrink wrapped and made local. By a scrumptious, low to the ground black haired school cafeteria happy cook. Gobbled up and history long before their expiration date. No preservatives injected in them needed. Because they disappeared before fully cooled off and hopping off the rack. Kids at the time did not know how lucky they had it and got the same treatment from home, their grandmothers as par for the course in a small Maine town school system.

Simple, Stunning, Real, All Natural. Maine.

The cooking great. But her driving, pull it on over. Lower marks later in life. Not so good eyeball vision wise. But not using her vision to create the recipes that did not need to be read after decades of tickling taste buds practically blind folded.

Cooking with her eyes closed. Tommy Fitz, Aubrey McLaughlin, my Grandfather Albert with the tie, sweater and hat cruising slowly never getting out of second gear. All that should have had their car keys taken away earlier than they did some would say.

But not like Scent of a Woman’s star when Al Pacino drove the sports car blind either.

But no one hurt because the locals knew who to watch out for and drove defensively to over compensate if they met the dirty dozen on the roadways of this Southern Aroostook town.

The drivers with diminished vision also driving very very slowly cautiously. Creepers, the good kind you look out for in a small Maine town.

Waving, Communication Without Texting, Video, Anything Electronic.

Otis Putnam using his lawnmower to go to the bank, grocery store, to pick up a pizza pie or shop from his backyard.

Before that excellent at left hand turns, not so skilled at the right hand ones according to Joe Inman, a relative who shared the news with me this week.

Everywhere Otis drove when he could was in circles, the left hand ones because that side was the best field of vision.

The only one he had as his other senses stepped it up to compensate. To drive as long as he could with the help of others who saw him coming and took necessary steps to avoid a collision in a small Maine town neighborhood, down town or out on the country roadways.

The Conversation Out In The Woods In Maine.

Face to face can’t be the only way today’s conversation starts.

The happy smile on a text does not mean the sender is not really wearing a frown. As their thumbs rock back and forth or the stylus taps taps on the keyboard of the device they are attached to as they express their thoughts in a condensed, filtered, strained method.

Warm Up, Get Close, Settle Back And Relax. Whew. You Made It. You’re In Maine.

Maine communication, has a different twists because of where it is produced and the all natural pure surroundings.

If your conversation other half is eighteen states away or on the other side of “the pond”, you are lacking some key ingredients on what to shake and bake.

To send back as the whipped up, rolled out next conversation course conversation tidbit.

I worked in broadcasting before peddling real estate in Maine and not seeing did not mean not knowing what the guy or gal one at a time was needing out in the hinterland.

Or how he or she was reacting to what was being communicated as close to conversation easy as possible.

Like predictive text, this is how you do it during an air shift or newscast was predictive communication where other than a few call ins or today texts, tweets and posts around the social media circle, you just make it interesting. Something worthwhile to follow.

In my job today when it is 10:30 at night and they want to “look” at properties for sale or to learn about the local events surrounding the real estate for the flavor of the corner of the Earth where I hang my hat in Maine, I better have all the “communications” stocked, ready, locked and loaded.

Getting Around In Maine, Lots Of Options In Vacationland.

Idling to deliver the message to get them started now, without delay or the actual trip to see you “face to face” to study the expressions and delay and tone of the conversation to shape how it goes next.

Videos, blog posts, image streams all help that connection building and the Maine attitude about we may not know each other but won’t stay strangers long and quickly become good friends.

When you visit Maine and are say staying at a wood’s lodge in the middle of a T2 R3 type unorganized townships just a dotted line defined on a map six miles by six miles square in Vacationland.

Lots of special interesting things happen.

No people, just your hosts and the other cabin dwellers. The stragglers that come in to dine at meal time on a snow sled, using poles on the cross country ski trail for horsepower. Or angling to fish, itching to hunt for small or large game in Maine.

The sounds are a crackling, warm and inviting crackling lodge fieldstone fireplace. The lodge keeper’s dog barking a friendly greeting and hoping you remember him with a tidbit morsel of what you are about to be served from the back kitchen. Sneaking him a sample of really good food in a setting where you would not expect the five stars and over the top.

Get Lost, Be Found. Find Your Island, Special Space In Maine.

Outside only the hum of the wind vibrating in the pine tree needles is your background with song birds.

No people, but trees. The run away feeling of leaving behind the hustle bustle for some meditation.

Time spent unplugging and recharging next to some waterfront in Maine.

Casual dress with practical warm flannels and stay dry foot and hand wear. Simple living in the Maine woods. Your communication is with yourself more and others less.

Inside discussions and pondering the life turns you already made, the ones at present to consider and making sure not to get too far ahead of yourself on the trail.

Your internet connection is down and spotty. But it feels good after the initial shock of what if some loved one could not instantly ask what you are doing. And you learn they are board. Wonderful.

Weaving, Needling Your Double Clutch, Down Shift That 18 Wheeler. Car, Bike Through The Highway Thread. Exploring Maine.

The active listening when there are no people or just a handful of old souls makes for deeper understanding in the communication out in the Maine woods camp.

Distraction and multi tasking not taking their toll in interrupting the quality of the talk. The glean to take away much to apply to the richness of how we live in Maine.

For years used to take a snow sledding trip sporting lodge jaunt with just the guys at Bowlin Pond Camps in T5 R8. And had the fortune of dining with two couples at the Mt Chase Lodge last night that made me realize the wonder of the woods. All located under radar just north of Patten Maine. One more facet of Vacationland.

Excellent food, thirty four other diners with the bulk from the Natural Resources Council. For a woods powwow retreat to talk shop without the fluorescent lights and sterile office setting.

The card games and 15 -2 for you out in the rental cabins help add the filler in the wood’s stop reflection setting in the North Maine woods.

Like slow cooking and not fast food the table talk more than chit chat and filler. Relaxation takes place truly when space is unlimited out in the vast wooded sections of Maine, up in the northern most tip of say a county like Penobscot.

Explore. Find what is here, what is missing inside yourself. Plan your next outing to Maine. She is drop dead gorgeous but for a second even think about keeping her waiting or standing her up. You only hurt, deprive yourself when you do.

Short A Few Dollars, That’s Where A Mainer Shines.

When you live in a rural state not flush with cash but drop dead gorgeous in the looks department, a true Mainer gets highly resourceful.

Lack of funds does not restrict the can do with what you have attitude found through out Maine.

Dealing with economic down turns goes back to practically everyone being a Maine farmer. Owning and trying to hang onto a patch of dirt they scratch to eek out an existence. Raise a family on a Maine farm.

We Are Bullish On Maine. Uplug And Make This Your Outlet To Recharge.

You don’t throw away much that might come in handy with a re-purpose use.

There is an intimate connection with the others in the sparse population and during conversations down at the diner, the corner gas station others are willing to help in Maine.

Once your situation is explained and others share their two cents to find ways to pull of the caper without the adequate funds in your pocket to peel off and make it a store bought operation.

Lots of bartering, trade outs and exchanges of goods or services or both. No one is a stranger.

Bring The Family Farm Members. Lots Of Young Families At MOFGA Farmer To Farmer Conference.

Calling in favors and just reward from others in a little better position who know the feeling of being up against it.

Not charity really but along the lines of a little of the same thinking. Just the spirit of take what you need, leave the rest for others.

Because you feel pretty darn lucky.

And are when you live in Maine. And tally it up in your head before you lay the head in the bed or rise and shine when the cock a doodle doo activates.

Small towns support each other unlike cities that get impersonal and less connected.

That’s why we have to court and spark business to compliment what we already have and want to retain. So small towns in Maine keep their doors open and don’t fizzle out. In the one by one march to deorganization.

Maine, Get High. Lots Of Chances To Rise Above The Static.

Because piling it on with higher property taxes won’t work for long because it squeezes the life blood out of the small Maine community if streamlining and centralization is avoided too long.

Or approached with a just tip your toe approach and time does its destruction from too little too late thinking.

What makes a small Maine town great? We never want to forget the spirit that snowballs and does not restrict. Small Maine towns can think on their feet and maneuver way way quicker like a David not a Goliath.

Weather storms easier and survive to live another day because drunken sailor spending is missing in real Maine. Use that deep down instinct in your gut to see the way to re-tool and adapt like Mainers always have. Free Site Map Generator

There is nothing new under the sun that has not happened in a similar fashion before and comparing notes and working together is the only pathway to make sure the small Maine town is on.

Happy In Maine, Joy Joy Joy Down In Your Heart.

Where you live has a big bearing on how life goes, how rich it is in the right ways.

But how you live day to day dove tails along with the geographical location. And some would argue if you don’t move around a little, how do you know how the other half of the World puts it all together? To compare notes, glean much from other ways of living, for perspective and inspiration.

Hitting The Trail Out Of A Crowded City. You Are (Pointing) Here. Connect The Blue Dots. Head To Maine.

Like relationships, problems in one follow you into the next if they are brought out onto the carpet. Not tackled early on in life. So everyone can benefit. And being hand stand happy is not the expectation to maintain round the clock.

Some folks would not be happy regardless of where they live for long because none of it is an inside joy, gratitude building kind.

That is stinking thinking.

Comes and goes and is not a cumulative variety. It is like a flare that is a flash and gone.

To weather storms in life, you need to have that joy down in your heart. The kind that is cup runneth over so a little set back, a major one too won’t put you into a tailspin.

The kind that is like a deep bed of coals that holds the heat when you have good blaze going inside your Maine camp woodstove or house furnace that radiates the heats your space to separate you from the outdoor cold.

Maine Explained With Social Media Examples.

How you react to others and do you expect them to be carbon copy like yourself?

Do you really think they do stuff that irritates and annoys just to get under your skin?

For the sheer fun of turmoil you can create all by your lonesome? Letting others be who they are is one less thing to have to control.

So they can enjoy and struggle to learn and grow just like you. Kindness goes an awfully long way.

Worry less about what others think and remembering you have countless do over chances. That is a big part of the rise and shine, day is done approach to living simple in Maine. You have the space to think, to consider how’s things are going and where you want your life to lead. How to get there and how we got to this point.

Awareness, clarity and removal of lots of the artificial distractions make Maine a wonderful breeding ground of fertile surroundings to take you higher.

Maine Garden Bounty, Creating Wealth From The Fertile Soil, Farm Dirt.

Overbook schedules keep you busy but delay the mental housekeeping to gets things squared way and ship shape.

When you free up the time an urban dweller spends worried about crime or spent traveling very slowly or not at all in thick traffic, strike one. Add in the high cost of living and extra layers of debt and strike two.

And wallowing in both just lead to delay in realizing the solitude of all of that is removed. You don’t need to impress or watch, follow the herd. You create a whole different trail to trot along.

Run your own show. Make way for the roll up your sleeves, turn your head around and open your eyes. Drink it in. Get rid of nose blind. Feel alive. That happens when you cross the big green bridge on the southern tip of Maine and realize, whew, you are in Maine. The way life should be.

Small Maine Town Pride… Chasing The State Sports Gold Ball.

Small town pride in a Maine community swells around the tournaments for the local sports teams.

The squads followed through out the regular season compete for a chance to represent their small Maine town at a regional and state competition.

The Small Home Town Maine School Pride Is Strong During Sports Play Off Competitions. Held In Our Handful Of Maine City Venues That Are Big Enough To Host Them.

It is last guy or gal out of town turn off the lights. Great for the economy of the Maine city that hosts the playoffs.

To one by one go through the bracket pair ups to determine who represents half of the state.

To defend the other chunk playing in a winner takes all on some neutral field, court, arena.

This past Maine school vacation week was such a marvel.

For all ages of a community to wear the school colors, put the signs in their vehicles to tell the world that they are rooting for the small Maine town home team.

Our kids that everyone in the community helps polish, make grow straight and true, responsible.

All the local population is hooting and hollering for the home team. The dreams of what if and the honor from all the hard work of years of practice and play. That leads to a championship trophy for the locked, glass school display case. Or a sportsmanship banner to hang high in the gym or arena.

Tournament Time For Small Maine Towns, Bands, Fans, Teams To Head To The Maine City Hosting Them.

The championship titles help define the local Maine community. To keep score and a sport on the roster.

Puts the little burg on the planet and helps all the locals know their Maine geography a little better. When two fans quiz where is whatever that First Settler sounding name town is located. Or share what it was like on brief visits to the place because of an early meeting high school sports wise.

And the small Maine town fans in the stands are some how directly related to the local players on display during the streamed tournament competition.

And with a ten percent drop in school enrollment in the last decade, consolidations and regional approaches to education make the small Maine town school performance on the list for extinction. These games bitterly important to relish.

No small Maine town wants to lose it’s identity and everyone in the state knows that some of the colors, mascots and sports players, bands won’t be in the next round. Making the Maine sporting news sound bite and ink highlights.

Not because of failing to make the finals. But because of just no more small Maine school where there was a few years ago. As Maine mills become dinosaurs and rust, and hope dims. As resourcefulness enters the room very quickly to centralize and then out source or just plain cut services.

The Bench Awaits The House Keeping Chores Before The Buzzer Whistle Blows, The Buzzer Sounds. And A Victor Is Determined to Go On.

To stop the bleeding of the life blood of what makes the small Maine community sparkle. Or even just tread water waiting for something to change all that.

Dwindling small Maine town populations makes local control a luxury more and more communities won’t be able to enjoy.

Deepening an identity crisis for the small Maine town that struggles to stay one.

No ones likes higher property taxes and if enough to run the small Maine community is just not in the pockets or checkbook of the local residents, everything screeches to a deafening quiet halt.

When the small Maine town can not afford to be one. Waves the white flag and surrenders.

Administration from a central level is happening across the board in rural, under populated drop dead gorgeous Maine communities. Cherish the Maine small home team sports performances. And enjoy the hoopla while it lasts. Before it morphs and becomes watered down, diluted and plain less teams, but larger consolidated school systems in Maine.

The Support From The Bench, The Small Maine School Community At Tournament Time Is Huge.

When small Maine towns deorganize due to state mandates, from the tax burden of the pie piece being just too large for citizens to swallow.

Too much going out, not enough coming in.

To pull off the educational cost component. For enough locals to step up and fill the positions to run the small Maine town.

From animal control officer to shore land zoning and planning board duties. Pot hole filling, cemetery grass mowing, election behind the curtain decision making duties.

Lean and mean happens quick when the money runs out. Has to or there goes missing the small Maine town from the eerie green glowing radar sweep. And Maine towns give up local government. Like the circus that has to unbolt the rides, stack and rack to get on the road again to the next Maine small town venue for cotton candy, dough boys and carnival rides.

It is lonely outside those cozy small Maine six by six mile corner boundary lines.

The Mascot Must Be Hot, Entertaining The Fans, Supporting The Team, Helping The Cheerleaders in A Small Maine Town Tournament Sports Game.

Lost but not forgotten as the small town or plantation that gets shepherded by the county, the state of Maine tries to find a new identity swimming with a larger school of students miles down the road.

Over 5000 home schooled, grass roots under the same roof fed three R’s a day students in Maine.

Considering Maine cyber education is on the rise with charter schools.

These are exciting, trying times in the educational transition from the norm to the new and improved, best we can do with the resources we have in Maine.

Trying to keep up and not make a misstep from waiting too long and making poor decisions because just no time provided for to ace the local small Maine school test. To stay alive and thrive.

To make it better than it was and the best it can be.

Without lingering too long looking back in the rear view mirror to see what the small, independent small Maine town used to look like when lumber and paper mills were king, farmers were everywhere.

And before the Interstate, Internet happened to change the face of the small Maine town that is forced to adjust to the fast moving events that forever change it.

[youtube Cr4f419ZSXs]

The way we approach and appreciate everything earned and respected in the Pine Tree State is through hard work, small town family values and a creative spirit to preserve what we hold dear. There is a strong connection, a tug at the heart strings when small Maine community pride is displayed. And desperately searched for ways to maintain the character of a small Maine community.
