Etiquette - August 2006

I know a person who insists on telling everyone about his running exploits...there's not a day goes by in which he doesn't insert into a conversation how many miles he ran, which marathon he recently completed (or will complete)...on top of this, he's not the world's greatest physical specimen, so the talk gets old.

I stay in shape, but I don't feel the need to tell the world how many minutes on the cardio machine I did.

Does anyone else find this annoying?

my brother got mad at me yesterday. he was singing a song and i asked him to stop because it was annoying. then he was telling me about his friends' kids, and i listened, but then i got up to go to the bathroom, he asked if he was boring me, and i jokingly said 'yes'

later, he said 'has anyone ever told you that honesty is not always the best policy'

he's not stuck up or insecure, he wouldnt say something like that to me if i hadnt geniuinly hurt his feelings,
which makes me think that maybe i make more comments then i think i do. i always thought i was a nice person, even if i do usually speak my mind. but maybe im going too far with it?

How can I tell if my honesty is hurting people? its not like im down right rude. i dont go around telling people theyre ugly or fat. I dont make fun of people. so what am i doing wrong?

We have Mr., Mrs., and Ms, but nothing else.
I admire, respect, and look up to my mentor, and we are becoming really good friends, but calling him by his first name would be innapropriate as he is in his 70s, and I am in my 20s. However, Mr. is rather inconvenient because it puts a distance between us.

What does this mean? After a speech on animal rights in 1989, an audience member asked Regan, "If you were aboard a lifeboat with a baby and a dog, and the boat capsized, would you rescue the baby or the dog?" Regan responded, "(If) it were a retarded baby, and a bright dog, I'd save the dog."
personally I cant help but to save the animal before a human first because Animals have more than proven their loyalty and bravery and have saved many human lives throughout time .....and humans treat them(pets/dogs) like garbage!
What would you do in any type situation where you had to choose?

If a woman any woman offers to give oral pleasure to a man he would drop his pants in a split second. Why don't women act the same way. I love to pleasure a woman orally, how come they just don't say sure you can go down on me? Let me know your opion on this.

Thanks!

Black people and those stupid Asians. And oh yeah, don't forget those idiotic Middle Easterners and Oh my god I hate those damn Europeans and those weird Indigenous people of North America. Don't forget about those Inuit (Eskimo) people in the North Pole! Don't you just hate them? Oh and don't forget Polynesians, Indigenous Austrailians, South American Natives, Siberian tribes, weird Greenland people, and mermaids. Don't you just hate them?! Oh! Wish they would all leave this planet!!!

We have been buying our home furnishings for the last year and are all set with dishes, silverware, linnens, towels, cooking utensils...etc...

Would this really be much different than registering for gifts?

Outside of my trailer I was digging with a shovel to plant a small tree and I went several feet under and I hit some hard concrete. It was weird so I banged it with the shovel till it cracked and Black oil Rushed out and splashed me on my face.

My neighbor Donna Jeane ran out from her trailer to see what happened and she said I struck black crude oil. I AM RICH!!!!

It is strange though because the oil smells really bad. To be honest it smells like Crap/Sh.it . It is really foul and sludgy

Really awful but I guess thats what oil smells like. Who Do I call? When Will I get my first millions for my finding. Argus is going to be so happy and I cant wait to start feeding my possum stinky real food for him instead of dry chicken bones and left over chicken skin.

I am going to buy a new doublewide and put it on private land. I cant tell everyone here how happy I am. Im in tears right now

I have an team member in my project whom i feel like cutting her off..... she has a habit of getting your personal email address , blog address, what ever she can "know" you more and will constantly update herself your latest update.... I fine with that, cool friend, you may say .... till recently I noticed use all the information she gather to start a gossip session with pp around her. Information were mostly distorted in her gossips... she's worse than the paparazzi ... Can't slap her in her face as we are in a project team (no choice). Even when i change the my blog address she'll go search for it ...... Oh no ..it's soooooo irritating .... Any witty ideas ????
