Why not? Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 I am angered by celebrities who think that their celebrity status makes them experts to political/social/economic issues.

Rassidan Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Well in all fairness, there are a select few who I respect. Someone wise enough ot know fame doesn't make you all knowing, congrats on being smarter than some people I know. Now if we could convince the media of this fact all will be right with the world. In fact make sure they know that celbrities also do not always lead a more exciting life than us common folk. I do not need to hear about every move someone makes.

GolfCart34 Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 I can't see videos at work.Yes! And I especially love how our IT department says we can't watch videos or go to YouTube, yet whenever marketing runs a new ad campaign they always tell us to take a few minutes to go to YouTube and watch it.Speaking of work...

humanperson832 Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 People who feel the need to point out my braces. Especially in a back-handed compliment. Some people tell me they're cute, but even that feels very infantilizing. Example: I was walking out of the bar on Saturday with my friend, and the rather inebriated young lady in front of me turns around, gives me a bleary-eyed moment of consideration, then slurs, "You're very pretty. [beat] Even with your sparkly smile." Oh. How fortunate for me that drunk girls can still think I'm pretty, even though I bear the cross of orthodontia. Thank heavens I'm still pretty IN SPITE OF my braces. Grumble grumble. 1 Quote Link to comment

GolfCart34 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 For sure!! and on TV... and Facebook... and everywhere else!I work for a financial institution so we see the back end of the spammy ads when people file disputes. I especially love the ones where people sign up for a "free trial" then dispute when their card gets whacked a huge sum of money each month because they didn't cancel. Sorry, but if you have to give out your card number then it's not really a free trial and you're authorizing them to charge your card if you don't cancel. We actually have a form letter for those disputes because the customer has no dispute rights if they willingly give their card number out but can't provide proof that they cancelled based on the terms of the company.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote GolfCart34 Twitter | FaceBook | Instagram *I'm not the type of person who is scared of something.

Guzzi Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Sorry to do the Mother-in-law bitch again, but I'm pulling my hair out! Seriously, what part of "I'm wheat intolerant" is difficult to understand? I CANT EAT THE STUFF!!!!!! NO! I don't want a loaf of bread. NO! I don't want to try Warburtons "Thins". NO! I don't want a fricking sandwich!I would even let her off if it was only once in a while that we had this conversation. But every other day???? Maybe it's some new torture method she's road testing.... Trying to see who'll break first? We're a year in, and it's still a tie... Stay tuned.

SevenofSeven Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 MIL's are a different breed. These days I nod my head, smile at her like she is my special little somebody and ignore her the best I can.Just to make you feel better, I only stopped calling my mother in law, Mrs Davis after giving birth to my 5th son. Never once in the 8 years I had been with her son and the 5 children I bore for him, did she ever turn around and say, "It's alright love call me Margie" not once. After number 5 was born I just called her Nan, she never gave me permission to call her Margie.I have a whole swag of stories from feeding my milk intolerant kids milk before we travel 3.5 hours home in a car to nearly killing one of them with her incompetence.Another thread perhaps.

Why not? Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 I feel like the spouse is generally the best one to handle in-law issues. Of course it my case, this is more a matter of me handling my family. They're all great and do really well with both kids and dietary issues. The only thing is...there are a lot of them. I'm one of eight kids and my wife is one of only two, so I have to step in and make sure things don't get too overwhelming on occasion when we're visiting my family (especially since I happen to be the oldest, so most of my siblings are still at home). 1 Quote Long Term Goals: Spoiler 200# 245# Snatch 300# Clean and Jerk 380# 465# Back Squat 450# 500# Deadlift Planche Human Flag Front Lever 285# Log Clean and Press 1k Row under 3:20 Back Flip Bodyweight Turkish Get-up For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for the present life and the life to come. 1 Timothy 4:8 Never compromise.
