I'm 24 .. and anyone 40+ I call Mr/Mrs. Is that appropriate enough ? what about your work profession ? What do you call them if they are around your age but a higher rank in your work profession ? .. or any other situation ?

I heard my high schoolers in class today talking about a girl with problems with excessive body hair. I told them it hurts a lot to know that people are talking about you behind your back, and that even if she never found out about it, they shouldn't do it because it's unkind. They stopped, but I don't think they're convinced. What can I say the next time I hear such a thing?

and thought:

(Am in Canada; my tables look like that. Would be interested to hear from Canadians whose tables don't, though.)

Where does the fork go in the States?

I'm in a new school. I'm old, like almost-forty old. Geezerhood, thy name is Bill.

A lot more people remember my name than I know theirs. I'm in the middle of my second semester and I have been brain dumping names left and right.

How do you cop to this without offending someone?

Today, I was in NY, sitting down eating lunch outside and a pigeon out of no where attacked my sandwich!!!
I tried to scare it away but it didn't budge!
I think we need to tell these animals who is on top of the food chain! Stupid people at PETA think that we shouldn't eat animals but we need to do something before they start eating us. Heard about the baby that got her nose eaten by the rat? Yeah, they are liking our meat I tell ya!

I've been living at this place for about a month. The whole place is very clean and neat. However one thing I find very weird is the house owner doesn't really put much effort in cleaning any kitchen wares up. I often pick up a silverware or plates only to see bit piece of foods still stuck on it or pick pans up and feel greasey or bumps on bottom from foods, etc....

Other day I was in kitchen making breakfast, she came in and pull out a leftover and stir it a bit then she just run the spoon under water without any soap or even rubbing it and put it back in the drawer without checking to make sure it's completely clean first.

I'm so glad I caught the fact she's not exactly great at keeping kitchen wares clean the first day I moved in. So I clean everything before I use them and afterward.

Is it normal for a person to like their kitchen wares throughly scrubbed with soapy sponge and spotless? Or am I Just being super clean freak when it come to this?

Ok I am in History class and I ask this girl who is kinda my friend for a piece of paper. She has this big stack of notebook paper in her binder. So she gives me this piece of paper that has the holes ripped out of it and has her writing on like 1/5 of it already!! She was like "oh just cross that out". Then I turn around to the guy behind me who I talk to a lot and asked him and he flat out replied "no". Then he had the nerve to ask me to copy my homework at the end of class?? Am I overreacting?Or should I be offended?

Please do not tell me to grow up or anything. Thanks.

I have noticed jocks handling their assets and flaunting size as a medal of honor in the locker room. Many take pride in swinging the item like a pendulum when walking au naturel. Some yield it like a club, While some swing it like a baseball bat at the slightest pretext. Not that I lack size, but to examine the consequences of a new entrant that was off the charts I shoved the biggest Chiquita I could find at the next door grocery chain until I took my trousers off in the locker room to the awe and dismay of many. They had no idea what to make of the abnormal standard deviation shooting past the mean, median and mode. So a sweaty jock came up to me and said "are you for reals", to which I replied,
"totally". That held the peace for a while, until a bigger jock showed up and said "wanna play" which apparently meant taking it out and comparing. Sensing trouble and looking for a way out I said " No thanks, I'm straight " and I jumped into the pool. What to do next time with no banana?

Ever notice people will just open the door, look into the toilet and then just move on to another one instead of flushing. And yes.....I'm guilty of doing this too.

The trainer and my senior at my new job doesn't like me. She rolls her eyes with any questions people have and seems like she is being put off if you ask. Should I talk to my supervisor? I overheard that she is telling people she doesn't like me I don't understand. I know what I am doing. I have been in this business for a long time, I have totally impressed my supervisors but she hates me why? No one hates me. I am so nice!

A friend was in London on business and was stopped by a couple of Japanese tourists who asked him the way to Madam Tussauds. Now, he knows it was wrong but he couldn't resist it. He pointed to the double yellow lines in the road and said "just follow these, they will lead you there"
(Sorry but I p1ssed myself laughing).

As christians we are suposed to help people in need. If you see somebody asking for money, are you supposed to give them money all the time you see them? is ok to give a couple of dollars or give them most or all we have at that moment? Times are different this days and I heard stories of people that got hurt while trying to help others or give them money. As christians what are we supposed to do?

Matthew 25:42-48

42 For I was hungry, and you didn’t feed me. I was thirsty, and you didn’t give me a drink. 43 I was a stranger, and you didn’t invite me into your home. I was naked, and you didn’t give me clothing. I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’
44 “Then they will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and not help you?’

45 “And he will answer, ‘I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me"
