I hate it when people post just to post.....

....like when clearly the post has no relevance or adds no value to the OP's question or concern.

Like this:

OP Question: I am having trouble finding a good fish recipe I like...can anyone help?

Response: I hate fish! Fish makes me gag!

Can someone explain the purpose of this? I mean, if you don't like fish, then why dont you just move on to the next thread? Who really cares what makes you gag or not gag???? I know I don't.

  • I'm having a very hard time understanding why three out of four guinea pigs have the first letter of their name capitalized, but the fourth one (cuddles), has the first letter of its name in lower cas

  • well, i respectfully disagree. I don't think its acceptable to do it. I strongly dont think that its ok to do it, and i do not think that someone who's doctor didnt tell them about PB's who comes here

Plans for the weekend...nope, I got nothin'.

Now how depressing is that??? BAH!

I am going in to school to get ready for Tuesday. Now that is depressing!:sad:

I'll be here. I don't quite get FB. I play the games, but my posting and stuff is done here. I am not quite bright enough for FB.

Don't under rate yourself - if I can do it, anybody can!

No weekend plans for me either. And, I have finished my paperwork. Boy, all that checking of little boxes was sooooo complicated. I can see how it could take a whole week for one page. :sneaky: I only had to ask my sister how to spell my name twice.

TPG

You over achiever! They will be amazed and impressed that you finished checking all of the those boxes so quickly!

Hey y'all! Just checking in real quick!

WI this AM, well my official, I WI every AM and I lost 1.8lbs! I cut way back on the snacking. Hmmm, go figure!

DH is fooling with the bedroom door that goes out to the deck. We discovered, this AM, of course, that it's not locking and you can just pull on the handle and it opens right up! SO instead of just putting a piece of furniture in front of it, I've got plenty to choose from, he's got the whole damn thing tore apart and is making himself mad! Nice!

If someone is going to break into this house it isn't even going to be off the 2nd story deck. They're going to break a flippin' window in the dining room at the back of the house on ground level.

They are not going to bother walking up the flight of stairs AT THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE to get to the deck. Puuullllleeeeeezzzzzeeeee!

Today is going to be lots of fun! Oh joy!! :sneaky:

Okay, I'm outta here. I still gotta pack and get DD and I showered! It'll be noon before we get out of here, if we're lucky!

Have a wonderful weekend!! I'll miss you!!

OMGosh he's got the power tools out! Lord help me!!!

Or they will say she copied someone else's answers.:sneaky:

Hi everyone!!

Home from my gall bladder surgery this morning. Feeling fine but sleepy from the pain meds.

Thanks for all the well wishes!!

Anybody know a really good, cheap site for airfare along the east side of the country, most specifically Detroit to South Carolina?

I always use Kayak - but I always fly on the west coast, but would imagine that it would still pop up some good rates.

Actually, after I wrote that I realized that my sister is pretty much hemmed in to Delta since she has miles with them. :sneaky:

My brother and SIL are going to visit the folks at Thanksgiving, and my sister wrote me this morning that she too was going to fly in. She said how great it would be if I could be there too, as my mom has expressed a desire to have us all together for a holiday before they die (it's been MANY years since all the kids have been at the folks' for a holiday).

BUT -- the fare she found last night was around $350, and today it's over $500! So... after much back-and-forth, it now looks like she won't be able to go unless something changes for the better -- which is doubtful as we rocket towards Thanksgiving.

Maybe posts are now being deleted before they officially post. :sneaky:

*cute*

*cricketts, glouc - are you infested w/those black suckers in houston? they are all over the place up here - gross, i have one dog that likes to catch & eat them:ohmy:

*congrats on the loss heartfire

*suzyt, glad you posted, take care of yourself this long wkend!

so i just had an odd moment @ costco.

as i'm leaving (entrance different side of bldg) - there is a table w/2 women asking for donations to a womans shelter.

when approached, i asked for their address as i would have many clothes to donate.

"nah - we just need the cash" i was told, i said how unfortunate and walked away.

now i need to hit my closets to clean out and find a worth charity that wants them.:sad:

Omg, are you KIDDING? An organization asking for donations would TURN DOWN donations?? Holy cow...

Lu - yeah, we have them here. But worse was San Antonio - one dropped from the ceiling at the tower, as we were leaving. Ick. I'm not grossed out by bugs, but I am when the drop from above! :sad:

and, DH still doesn't like Salvation Army because they wouldn't take his Christmas tree stand. I used to work there, so I'm partial to them, but they had some funky rules, too. :sneaky:

Are you sure they were legit?? HMMM? I know that our women's shelter will take anything and everything, they are always in need!

Our local Humane Society has a thrift store, so I always take donations to them - love helping the homeless animals. DD volunteered there for awhile, I think I left in tears every time I picked her up! I wanted to just bring all the doggies home with me! My marketing classes always do a fun fashion show to raise money for the shelter. They work in teams, and have to get all of their outfits from the thrift store and the students donate money to the team that they like the most! It is always a huge hit and they come up with hilarious outfits! Oh, I'm rambling - sorry!

i thought the exact same thing!

when i stopped working - i donated my work clothes to a shoppe that does "new beginnings".

gets women back on their feet & assist in new homes/jobs. some were homeless, ex drug users, right out of prison, abused, etc.

thought about going into costco to complain - but something told me it would fall on deaf ears.

well my mainstay, catholic charities will be here tsday to pick up clothes/kitchen stuff & whatever else i purge through this wkend.
