Gossip About The New Neighbors

Hey, have any of y'all been reading some of the posts on the other forums? Yowza! I thought we were bad, but there are some real doozies over there. They are probably saying the same about us LOL.

It was too much fun watching everyone attempt logic. I didn't feel up to it myself. Save me a hot dog.

I think I got invited to the BLOCK party over there! I feel so special!

LMFAO :P I just sure you did!!

no

After I graduated from my small town Iowa grade school I was bussed to the big city Junior High. I was shocked by the low expectation level of the teachers and also the ambivalent attitude of the students toward their education. My grade school teachers were education tyrants and demanded learning the basics. The Junior High teachers were seemingly interested in getting a paycheck.

But beyond the negatives it was a beautiful time to get to know people who were alien to my culture. That time was as valuable as the academics.

I live with a gastric bypass cutie and get along famously, we had the same goals, took different paths, ended up in the same place.

Every immersion into a new scope of personalities and viewing angles opens the possibility of misunderstanding due to the differences in our frames of reference. We can all learn from one another and it will be an overall positive experience if we take it easy on each other. And things will go much more smoothly if everyone just agrees with all that I say. :D

Oh, y'all are just too funny. I'm laughing out loud in my office.

Hey Carolina Girl, you can post over here, you're pretty cool, don't just lurk :)

I just read the post and was HOWLING! I was literally laughing so hard I was crying. A recap of my favorite quotes:

"it just looks like NaNa got jumped on like a starved man on a Christmas ham"

"that tops the gal who wanted sympathy for eating tacos hours after her surgery."

"Bless your heart, I know you mean well, I don't know what you are talking about regarding your medical degree..I have a degree in computer science...Now please don't embarrass yourself with all of your so called lap band knowledge and long history in the medical field in Nursing..." (While giving medical advice to a *nurse*!)

"What the hell? I hope I'm not the "taco girl"..!"

"Ok just got my popcorn!! What I miss?"

I am stuck in bed about 22 hours a day (for four weeks) due to a non sleeved surgery. Thanks for the best laugh I have had in weeks. That is the most effed up thread I have ever read. Those poor poor people...

Lol yes, and I noticed my dog, did in fact go poop over there...

I was going to go clean up after her, but meh...

I am honestly afraid to go see what I am missing.

Doesn't have the words "Hitler" or "Nazi" anywhere I hope???

Nope.. but there are some mean "hangry" people over there!!

It's a good thing all of our fights have been buried, we look like angels right now :P

Oh Laura, everybody knows that we ARE angels. And hungry? So what? Just fight on hungry or not (except for tacos... they seem to be on everyones pre-op plan?)

I am honestly afraid to go see what I am missing.

You should go read it. It is seriously hilarious.

On a more serious note, it's a fabulous reminder of why its important to be compassionate and a good listener --- and the mayhem that ensues when we dont do those things. Its also a good reminder if why the caps lock key might be a good thing to avoid when communicating online. Lol.

Well I went there to clean up after my dog, but ended up taking a d*mp myself :P

I don't think anyone noticed because it stunk so bad there anyway...
