I see it everywhere, even when i once helped an african american couple get a TV into their car, they told me it was nice for a honkie to help out a brother and that i must have wanted money. the guy said in these words: why a honkie be helping a brother, you must want some greens cuz i aint be seing dis sh.it where i be liven. Then a few days later i was standing in line with a bunch of people and i had to pea really bad so i left to go, and when i did this nice looking black guy said: oh i see you dont want to be standing in line with no nig. I didnt even bother to say anything. Before everyone goes off sayin its because white poeple made them slaves a hundred years or so ago, remeber that i am 21 years old not a hundred years old and that i have no control over what my grampas grampa did.

i get her to stop telling me about this . another thing is that her entire family has this fasination with the anus. they all go to the doctor for checks of that and they speak of it even at the dinner table. i know this is in there heads because they all have dogs and cats that seem to have troubles with the anus as well so how do i manage to keep her from mentioning such a matter.

In my house we cook breakfast, lunch and dinner, we eat salads, vegetables, eggs, fruits, we drink milk and juice, overall I would say we have a balanced diet. My boyfriends family is another case, for breakfast they SOMETIMES drink coffee, for lunch they barely eat (the amount I would normally eat gets divides by two people), and dinner is the same, they don't like salads and I really don't think a sandwich for lunch and for dinner is qualified as a good meal. Am I wrong to say that they are not eating right just because they have different eating habits?? The reason this irks me is because when they get invited to my house they devour everything! yet they are too lazy to cook at their own house....

I live in low income apartment housing...Theres no certain spots for your apartment. There is aple parking. Within the last week with all the snow we have gotten - Theres over a foot of snow in the parking area. They plowed the driving areas, but the spaces are kinda snow filled. We shovled and salted our parking spot that have parked in for a year. Along with a path for around my car and to our door. Parking is right in front of our building, right in front of our door. Im from Florida and have two small kids so I have been adapting with the snow, also I have a small 4 door car. Last night we came back from the store and someone had parked in our spot - They do not live in our building but a few buidlingd away and acorss the parking/driving area, (so they walked farther for a clena spot then to park near where they normally do and should)
They have a 4x4 SUV - they can park anywhere! We havent had a problem since since we did this, no one else has been as rude to park there.

So guilty that you pretend to browse the merch before leaving the store? Maybe it's just me. :-)

I get really sick of hearing people talk about issues or concerns, or reading what people write about those same things, because it all seems like its coming from a script, very rehearsed and practiced and politically correct. I do not believe most of what I hear and read because its not real. How am i supposed to believe someone who says they are against racism, etc.... when everything they say sounds like it came from some pamphlet? I find most of this coming from the liberal side because they tend to be way too tentative and careful in the first place, but conservatives do their own censoring as well. I believe that ideas and beliefs should be told like it is!

In the office I work in there is a small men's restroom. 3 stalls and 2 urinals. Well, someone who uses the urinal likes to toss their used papertowels in the urinal instead of tossing them in the garbage. Now there is a rather nasty looking yellow paper towel that sits in the urinal until the cleaning crew comes in and picks that nasty thing out. I understand that no one wants to touch the urinal handle..but please just throw the towel in the garbage.

My fiance threw an incrdible surprise engagement/birthday party for me this past weekend and all my friends and family were there. People came from 10 different states, left their children, etc... for this. I was incredibly touched by them making the effort to be there for the special occasion. I am planning to write each individualized thank you's, but in the meantime I would like to get something out there sooner, to say thanks again and great seeing you etc... I was going to send an email to all the attendees. Again, b/c it was so special having all of them there I would like the e-mail to convey that, unfortunately I am havng a difficult time putting it all into words clearly and concisely. I think I am still overwhelmed by the gesture! Natuarally I also need to be writing my fiance a thank you note too, so if you have any suggestions for that as well by all means, share! And thanks to you too for you consideration and sharing any ideas!

My fiance bought me a gorgeous teddy bear for Valentine's Day, but its EYE is missing, you think he would have gotten another
one by now?

He gave it to me on Valentine's Day, I got all excited jumping up and down, then I turn the beautiful teddy bear around and it's MISSING AN EYE! He saw the shocked look on my face,

He apologized, said he noticed it while he was at the check-out line, but didn't want to lose his spot in line! He was in no hurry, we had no plans; he couldn't spare 5 minutes to get a normal one?

He "claimed" he'd exchange it the next day, but it's going on a week; I'm beginning to think he got it out of the trash. Other than the missing eye, it seems new, but you never know!

Is it just me, or is a one-eyed teddy bear a bit morbid and creepy? It's supposed to be a romantic gift.

What should I do with it, and him?

in the next stall rips a really great fart. Does one laugh out loud? Applaud? Call out numbers like they do in figure skating competitions? And what if you're the ripper, do you acknowledge the crowd, or remain completely humble and say nothing. I'm often at Midway and this question has indeed crossed my mind,,,what's left of it...
