What are the words people slip into conversation that are just SOOOOOOOO grating to you??

I called them`plug` words as people use them for holes in conversations between breaths when they can't think of anything half decent to say.

For example;

LIKE.
Do teenagers know any other word? Sample coversation...
"*Like* I was with her *like* she's *like* `Oh totally` and I'm *like* yeah, and she's *like* `Whatever`, *like* i'm just sooooo *like* over it. SO then she's *like* saying "I am so totally there *like* with you girl *like*

Others that get to me.... (and my typical reaction)
* YEAH-NO-YEAH........ make up your mind!
* KNOW WHAT I MEAN (or NOWADAMEEN)....... No because you are such a bad communicator
* ETC ETC ETC...... well if I know what you meant from the first part of your converstaion..
* SO ANYWAY.......... (ggrrr... so what)
* YOU KNOW.........(no I dont, keep talking you may get to your point).
* OMG!!!!.................(who is your God??)

Any I missed?

My wife and I both have substantial student loans. However, I consolidated mine at 3.5%, but her's were consolidated at 8.25%.

Just to pay her interest is $700/month. My payment is $300, with 1/3 currently going to principle. We also have about $8,000 on credit cards at 10% interest.

Our combined income is about $100,000 annually. Right now, I pay the $350 on my loan each month, and about $1,200 on hers. At that rate, her loan should be paid off in around 8 years.

I just feel like I may need to rethink this approach, as it seems like we make a lot of money, but are not getting anywhere fast against our debt.

Oh, we also have about 75G's in our 401Ks and put away 10% of our salary. We're early 30's. Any thoughts on how to reduce this debt more quickly? Some days it feels like we'd be better off defaulting and going to work at MacDonalds...lol

We're thinking of homeschooling our children in the near future. I do not want a "Christian based" curriculum. I've looked in to several. However, I was just wondering what others out there people have used. Or do you set up your own curriculum?

...no matter what wrongs you do in life that it's okay so long as you ask for forgiveness would that allow you to do more things wrong? Would it be a free pass so long as you say you're sorry?

I'm a 22 year old strong and independant female. I'm focused on my career, my future and success. But for some reason when it comes to my boyfriend I am soooo needy. He treats me really bad and we fight all the time. I want kids and marriage one day but he doesn't know if he wants that seeing how he already has two kids. I have never let a man have this kind of power over me before. My question is why is it that I can be so strong and independant in every other aspect of my life but yet go home and be mistreated so badly? Why is it so hard for me to just pick up and leave? Anyone with experience and advice please give me some feedback and opinions. Thank you.

P.S. We have been together for 5 years and we live together.

So far we have been offered :

The Feather Pluckers Experience

The Fowl Eggsperience

HETTIWOOD

All Creatures Feathered and Edible Day Out

We were hoping the Rod Stewart would open it for us with a rendition of 'Hot Wings' or perhaps Kate 'Wing'slett could cut the ribbon.

Suggestions please - although they would all have to be at least 'hay' list celebrities!

Example is I search for "apple" when I search for a or anything else you can see that I have searched for apple in the past. I have done internet options delete history, delete files, clear cookies, but it still comes up. How do I solve this?

before I went all the way and gave up god i read some books written by catholic saints and such as I was raised a protestant and we weren't allowed to read them. Anyways in all the books I have read the saints always refer to themselves as christians belonging to the catholic (universal) church, they never call themselves catholics... so why have catholics choosen to stick with the name catholics? I get that you don't want to be associated with protestants and other fundies (eww) but honestly why do you guys let them steal your title and make it their own? Not only that some even say the title isn't for you...

When i was about 14, i went through a stage where i would have days where i felt at an all time low, and would cry and cry and days where i felt a little better. I think this was due to the fact i was bullied a bit at 14 in school and i felt there was no way out, cause the teachers were not doing anything about it.

When i was 15 and 16 and in my last two years of school, my confidence grew a little bit, and i just tryed to get through the day and enjoy having my friends around me and such.

Recently, I've joined College, and im not enjoying it at the moment. I don't fit in with the other people on my course and my confidence has hit rock bottom again. I feel really low all the time im there and i just can't talk to new people cause i think they will probably find me boring. Cause i have no confidence, Im too shy to talk to anyone.
I've been there just 2 weeks and im already considering leaving, i won't know what else to do. Why do i feel like this, should i go to the doc?

My boyfriend just lost one of his friends from high school a couple of months ago. His friend had a MySpace page. Last night my bf put a poem and prayer on his page. I was wondering if there are a lot of people who would still visit a dead friend's page and leaves messages on the comments section. Would any of you do the same?

If I built a robot that had a choice, it could do good things, or bad things (free will), and if that robot did bad things whom to blame for it; me for building it or the robot for doing it. Same for god (if god does exist), god created humans and some humans can do bad things (and humans has done bad things), whom to blame for that; god or humans?
Although this relies on that god does exist, and I or someone else could build a robot that does that.

I have to have a topic and thesis for my freshman level college research paper by this Thursday (September 20)..i want to do something on addiction, but the paper has to have a controversial slant to it so I can take a side and try to prove it. Picking a topic and narrowing it down is always the hardest part of a paper for me, and I have no clue what to do? Can anyone help me come up with a controversial subject pertaining to addiction? thank you!!

Teen preg, crime, drug abuse - there is a perception here in the UK of a nation in crisis, a modern Sodom & Gomorrah with a disintegrating sense of shared social values.

And btw, contrary to myth, the UK has a much higher crime rate(inc. violent crime) than the US, as shown by all recent studies

eg last UN international comparison:

The Japanese diet dures just for a week. It`s very tough, you really starve... but it says you lose some weight and you do not get them back for 7 years... you can eat anything you like and eat alot ! Well, I went on this diet 10 years ago, and it really worked, for 7 years I stayed in the same weight and ate whatever I wanted without any guilty. However, I went on it again some months ago but this time it did not work... :( I don´t know if it is because of my age, now I am 33 and that time it works, but I was 23. So I stayed thin for 7 years, when I turned 30 I got weight again.... well, if somebody knows something about this diet and desires to share your experience I would be very pleaseant !
Thanks!

After all, they've now thrown their former star Fred Thompson into the "not conservative enough" mix with Rudy Giuliani, John McCain and Mitt Romney. (How crazy-fascist do you have to be if those guys aren't conservative enough?) Is Petraeus the new great olive-drab hope to succeed their beloved Bush?

Almost everytime it rains or the roads are wet, my Sedona makes a schreeching sound for about 1-4 seconds, usually when I am slowing down, but not necessarily with my foot on the brake - sometimes it happens when I've taken my foot off the accelerator, but not touched the brakes yet. Only happens every once in a while. Had the brakes done about 5 months ago - new brakes - any suggestions on what this noise might be?
