Yes. All the time. Especially around the holidays - my sister is a teacher in a middle school, and they can't have any one denomination dominate the holiday proceedings. They try to celebrate everyone's hioliday to an extent, and parents still bitch. I worked with a Jewish physician who...

Getting back to the original point of the thread, I think that kind of stuff is ridiculous. You mean to tell me that little kids hearing "black sheep" will have a hard time with it? Give me a break. Black is a color, just like orange or blue (technically, it isn't, but I am not being specific...

Definitely - the tears are rolling - that is priceless. I have to send that around. Lisa

Well, Col, the point is to keep the Americans (aka sheep) believing that celebrity = success, and so they continue the hype. Granted, not very many people watch the show, but some still do, and they will breed and have more little sheep, etc, etc, which perpetuates the wrong values, and...

You know, I might be tempted to watch these types of shows if they weren't on Sunday nights at 9PM. That's bedtime, so these shows and the Super Bowl tend to get less of my attention. :) Lisa

Or had the day off, like everyone should on their birthday!! Lisa

...and many happy returns!! Hope you have a great day!! Lisa

I would hope so. All of them. One a year. Because he is dead. 70 Ok, so I am only semi-smart. But I knew that already. Lisa

On a palatability scale, Kraj, not much. Exactly. He cooks for himself while he is away at school. Granted, maybe not every night, but I wonder who he asks that question to while he is alone in his apartment?:rolleyes: Lisa

I'm with you there, Col. I have to admit, that's how I would have taken it. My BF is notorious for that kind of crap. He comes home from school on a Friday (he goes to school about 300 miles away), and bitches because there is no food in the house for him, when I have been living for the last...

Whew! That was a long damn thread. I was actually hoping for more towards the end, wondering if a woman like the ones you have described would venture in. But obviously Cindy isn't anything like that, and neither am I (I haven't shopped for shoes in 5 years - and I don't "shop" like it was an...

Yep - that's how I took it, too. And that is why I don't work for her anymore!! Lisa

Funny you should ask - I had a boss that I thankfully got away from, and she said that to me once. I had gotten my evaluation from her, and it was full of comments that had a negative ring to them. Not specifically negative, but could be read that way if you weren't really scrutinizing it, and...

I know, I know...I have spent many years trying to keep my hands out of other people's lives, and let others make their own decisions, for whatever result may come, and I think I got a lot better at it...then I had a baby. And I know I will have to let her make her own decisions, and live with...

Thank you so much, Kraj, I have to agree with you, but I am heavily partial.... Lisa

The dirty diapers I am seeing right now, the boyfriends that aren't good enough goes without saying, and if you want to start up a little fund for me when you win the lottery, I will put it toward her college fund. Maybe they will give her a scholarship based on her being so cute...... Lisa

Well, I am, Rich, see my fingers on the visor of the hat? That's me. Lisa

Ok, this thread needs a cheap, gratuitous photo op, and who better to serve that purpose but my little munchkin? She's 6 months old tomorrow (or thereabouts - she was born on Aug 30, and there is no 30th this month), and now we have a digital camera, and I just can't take enough pictures of...

Tess: So glad to hear that he is ok and recovering from this event. It is so scary - I can't even imagine it. Not so easy for a girlfriend of mine - her 19 year old son was killed in a car accident about 2 weeks ago. Very sad, very devastating. Her son never seemed to get that lesson, Len...
