It's easier for me to just slap some stamps on there than to go the post office and pay the correct postage by weight. If I slap a few stamps on there, do you think that'll cover it (it's just a few pieces of paper that I didn't want to fold up) or will the post office return it to me, insisting that I have it weighed and pay the exact amt?

Some people say 'eye'raq others say 'ee'raq. I just feel that we should come to an agreement before we kill anymore of them as it's probably a little insulting and maybe we are attacking two seperate countries by mistake.

As a single mother of three boys, I struggled financialy. (widowed) My financial situation changed for much the better two years ago. I did not share this information with co-workers or casual friends. I have not spent money lavishly, investments mostly and a trip to Disney. We are not an extravigant family. How do I turn down offers of hand-me downs, "extra food" from peoples homes, free services offered (home repars, plumbing, air-conditioners). We have all that we need. I do appreciate that people think of us however, I just was given a box of food. There are jars of half eaten dip, opened crackers. To be honest, I will just throw it all away. I just don't know what to say. "Sorry my my net worth is probably more than yours so you might need this more than me." Isn't going to work. So I end up feeling guilty and have a lump in my throat. Funny, I thought all my problems would be gone, not the case. You get a new set of problems. This is just one among others.

I start a new job in two weeks and my vacation will be available to me in six months. I have a new baby and my parents are 2,000 miles away and retired. They have not seen her yet. I told them I will try to come in the spring. She said she wants to see the baby more than anything but I should not use my vacation even though it is available to make a good impression at work. How is taking a week off making a bad impression. What do you think?

as for them coming here that is not going to happen even if i pay for it. Don't ask long story.

isn't six months enough time that it does not look b

If a woman is grabbing a man's testicles and he's in serious pain, is it ok for him to punch her in the face in self defense, so he can get away? What would you do if you saw a man hit a woman in this situation? Personally, I think it's completely justified. I would hit a woman in this situation.

let's say you owed $3.45 cents, and you handed the cashier a $10. She would first hand you the 55 cents and then count out the $1 and the $5 to you. Then she would hand you a receipt and say "thank you."

Nowadays, the cashier makes a little paper tray out of the bills and puts the coins in it. Then she balances a receipt on top, shoves it in my general direction and says "there you go."

There I go? Where am I going? And why are they in such a rush to get rid of me, now that they've got my money?

3) Broke a mini table off a chair.
4) Spilt hot chocolate on the first floor.

6) Walked through a guys mopped foor.
7) Twice I flushed the toilet (someone else used it first) then it overflowed.

Why is it when you are the grocery store and you are in line and you have put your stuff on the black belt thingy and the person behind you is like running over you? Why can't they wait at least until you move up a little to start puting their stuff on the thingy? That is so rude! I mean the check out lady has not even gotten half way through with my stuff and I have not even put my debit card in the machine. Its okay if there is room on the belt for their stuff but standing within inches of me and pushing me out of the way with their buggy, that is just mean. Now if they have something heavy, then I offer for them to put their stuff onthe belt if there is room for it. But people just get way to close for comfort in my opinion. Anyway I was just wondering if anyone else knew why people are so rude. Thanks!

I would be too ashamed. I would be afraid everyone would assume I was an ignorant, hateful, bible-thumping, poorly educated, bigoted, lazy redneck.

I was in a pub last night and a really stroppy girl said '' Never trust anything that has Boll ocks...''
I said to her ''Never trust anything that bleeds for a week and does not die''... Sorry about that but it shut her up

Olden times, we used to get up and bow down to show our respect to elders, teachers and similar respectable people. Of late they are not to be seen. Even in buses, trains etc people used to get up and give seats to elders when they are standing. Now they are either ignored or are treated without any respect. Has our etiquettes changed?
