Sometimes i am in conversation or someone else in conversation and someone will say "that's what she said". Who is she, and what did she say? Why did she say it and when did she say it?

Why is it suddenly all right to use words like "r" in place of "are", "u" in place of "you" and "becoz" in e-mails to your professors and bosses? Is it really that hard to type and extra two or three characters? Are you people really getting jobs and graduating from high school?
I think it might be a text-message habit spilled over into an inappropriate environment.
How should I tell people that it makes them look stupid and uneducated without coming off as a hyper-critical, grammar psycho?

I like Coopers ale (Sth Australia) and Guinness. Beer Lao is good too. Red Horse (Philippines) for getting there fast. Kirin Lager is good too. Don't think much of Heineken

To me that just makes me shiver when I hear someone say that to describe someone else. It makes them sound old, tough and bitter. I don't think it's an appropriate term to use, especially about a lady. I could be wrong and there may be a lot of you who disagree with me.

Women baffle me. (Duh!!!!) But I'm determined to better my relationships with them. I don't know why just yet.... (Moving on) Can I get some "detailed" pointers. Some good example's I've come across that were eye openers: Women really don't care about how something works, even if they look like they're paying attention while you're talking (Hours of wasted explanations on my part!!! Thanks estrogen). also, Never correct a woman's misspellings, they take it differently than a man would. Thanks for any help you can give. And try not to be vague please.... Example: treat them nice.

I'm a 100% left-handed woman, who has been called a "lefty" all my life, especially when I step into the batter's box. At times when I'm throwing a ball or Frisbee, others will make a da-doo about it. What would you say in return? "Righties" have the "right" to respond to this question as well.

Chivalry, I am happy to note is not dead, as some men still open doors for women, hold the door open for the next person, offer and insist on carrying bags for the fairer sex, pull out the chair for us to sit, and the list goes on. Many women, like me, enjoy being treated like ladies by real gentlemen.

However, some male friends have commented that on some occasions when they had opened doors for women, they were looked upon with suspicion! Sad, is it not? Do you have a similar story to tell?

Is this emphatically knightly virtue being eroded by the dog eat dog world we now live in where the fittest continue, leaving no place for even the simplest of common courtesy?

Please take note that neanderthals need not bother answering this question. Thank you.

Is it arrogance? Laziness? Apathy?

What do I do if someone sends me a message and when I try to respond it says that her email hasn't been confirmed?! (Btw, hannahonelove...if you are reading this, I am talking about your email.) I don't want the her to think that I am just blowing her off. I really would like to talk to them. Please help!

Today, while driving home, I looked in the rearview mirror, and noticed the man behind me, talking away on his cell phone. He was alone, but I could see his hand moving in gesture as he talked. Now, if we had no hands...as some are unfortunet not to have, what do they gesture with instead? Can we talk without gesturing? This is pure curiosity....

I just wonder that about junkies they can be in mid conversation and when they come out of a nod they go right back to where they stopped.

I'm not gay, but I am bi sexual. I have always wondered the true reason behind this. Is it because they have an unsecurity with themselves. Any one give me one good reason, and for once don't bring in what the bible has to say. Tell me what you think, not what someone else wrote.

I try to be respectful of others here. Answering questions honestly and earnestly, and sometimes having a little fun in the process. But sometimes, I come across questions that just cry out for abuse. Sometimes they are sex related: "Why isn't mre wemens horny?" Or "Is my penis too big?" Sometimes they are politically fueled, with no logic or thought behind the asking. Just a ticked off, REALLY dumb conservative or liberal.

Questions from idiots (you know exactly the ones I am talking about) just seem to push my "I must be abusive in my answer" button.

Ohh and I already know I am intolerant and an ******...that's a given. And I don't have a problem with it either. I work hard at it.

Do you ever feel like letting the little brains have it? And do you let them have it?

My friend, a yahoo member was prevented from posting a question in answers today because his keyboard only prints upper case letters. he was advised it was rude. when he protested, yahoo allowed him to ask the rest of us what we thought of their policy? but then refused to allow him to ask that question because he can only respond in caps. disabled & living on small fixed income, that broken keyboard is his only outside contact. is that fair?
