Sometimes I despair over some so-called ladies who get so 'lashed on the booze' that they deliberately show their melons and bushes to all- comers. They put themselves into all sorts of danger and the paramedics and police have to pick up the pieces of this terrible behaviour. "Bravado on the Booze".

I'm confused, I just recently noticed this...Women say that want to be treated equally, but then they also want to be treated like a lady? I don't get it. They'll complain about how it's not fair that men underestimate them just because they're a woman, but then they expect us to put the toilet seat down for them, open doors for them, and be extra nice to them. I'm not saying I want to hit women, but they talk about how they are just as tough as men, but if a man attempted to hit a woman they'd freak out and say "you can't hit a woman". I dont get it...

All I am reading today is from bitter and twisted Americans, bleating on about "cry baby, runny nosed Brits" and "how dare we boo their anthem, bang drums loudly and drink and sing too much"

1. Yes we drink and sing, it is called having a bit of fun and supporting your man. As long as everyone is behaving themslves what is the problem?

2. Booing the anthem is not really defensible, but at the end of the day it is banter, aimed at getting under Mayweathers skin and not anti-american. Get over it

We have been to Vegas, had a great time, supported our boy and coming home saying "he fought like a lion but was beaten by the better man". End of story - get on with your lives.

My mom was just out shopping and met a family who were extremely poor. The lady talked about some of her issues and my mom felt so bad. She talks to the lady every now and then and she REALLY wants to get the lady some help for x-mass, what can she get? How can she give it?

My friend's father past away about a month ago and I want to give her a card for Christmas. But, since this is going to be her first Christmas without her dad, I don't know if it is appropriate or not. Should I or should I not?

My husband's co-workers are very much party animals and tell lots of raunchy stories & jokes - even about conferences and what goes on and they get very graphic --- this is at the dinner table at the restaurant. I'm debating whether to go or not next year, what would you do? Grin & bear it or what? It's really gross and sad that grown people act that way. Liquor is involved too.

Here's my dilemma : I'm not sure how to go about explaining to my boss that I'm burnt out. She's got me doing a million and one things yet she complains that I'm not getting to my work list (mainly because I"m doing all her work & correcting other people's mistakes).. She's got me doing audits, along with about 10 different assignments per day. I don't want to seem like I'm being bitter because I'm not, I'm just really burnt out and stressed out for the fact that I can't even complete my work on time because I"m busy doing others. Yet I see people who r supposedly doing the same job as I am surfing myspace, looking at real estate..etc etc.. I asked her once if she could share the workload, and she said to me " I don't trust them doing these assignments, that's why I give it to you" How do I explain to her that I"m extremely burnt out (mind you I work this job at home on weekends also) and I really need her to share the responsibilities? Thanks in advance for ur responses

ok im a clerk at a private hotel and I'm leaving a note to my boss so i just want to know it the punctuation i correct.

Attn: blank

For the last couple of weeks the Event Schedule has been wrong. Today Sunday the 9th, a group of individuals came in at about a quarter to nine, claming they had reserved the Garfield Room for a Jesse. The Garfield Room was not occupied so I led them in. Please note this is an inconvenience for us. The tables were not made and the rugs were not properly groomed; thus causing delays in check-ins and check- outs. Be advised that this is my first written notice. Thank you for your time

Sometimes I feel this way and I don't like it. What can I do to make this feeling go away?

things that stretch out the ear lobes and he has these two black "earings" surrounded by his ear lobes. Now I have seen this on t.v. before and didn't think it was an attractive look but didn't think that much about it. When this guy came to our table I don't know what came over me but it actually made me nauseated. He was clean, well mannered, and a really good and attentive waiter but I couldn't look at him because it made me sick to my stomach. We haven't been back since then and we used to eat there about once a week. I kept my son from seeing him by distracting him with other things, because my son is the worst if he sees something "gross" the meal is over. Is there anything I can do to help myself get past this sick feeling when I see this guy? I hate that I feel like that because I don't want to seem mean. Thanks.

...IF you were going through the drive through at your bank,...and you were going to deposit, lets say, ...$300.00...and ...later....driving home, you noticed an envelope along with your slip, showing it was clearly deposited.....however, the teller also gave you back your 300 dollars in an envelope. Now knowing theres nothing they can do ....would you go back....or ...keep it?
..* ...I'm not looking for answers saying what's "morally right" either, (i already know that answer!!) ..i'm asking you, ...what you would do. (I overheard this topic at work yesterday)

I went to visit my cousin over Thanksgiving and I feel that I was not treated as a guest.

On the Friday after Thanksgiving, my cousin went to work and said she would come back at 3 p.m. She came back at 5:30 p.m. and then sat down and spent a few hours on the Internet. She did not even ask me if I wanted anything for dinner. I had to take out food for myself and eat it.

I had also sent her an expensive Birthday gift and took a gift to her house for her. She did not give me anything much in return.

I don't know if I should mention this to her or just not go visit her again.

My cousin is workaholic and basically involved only in her work. She has become worse as the years go by and its affecting her marriage also.

Its not my place to tell her how to live her life, but I felt hurt at how I was treated. It went downhill from there and it felt like I was not wanted in her house. I had asked her before I booked my ticket.

My room mate and I are two very different people. I don't party and often go to bed by midnight, whereas she will stay out most of the night. We worked through this issue though, and have never really had any disagreements or problems. We get along really well and talk to each other when we are both in the room, but we never really hang out together. I have grown to care about her quite a lot, and worry about her when I don't see her after a night out.

But last night she came back at about 3:30 with a guy. This was enough to wake me, since they were both presumably drunk and were very loud. I didn't really mind to much till they started having sex. I chose to get up and leave. I didn't go back till over an hour later because i was so disgusted.

Please don't think this is just because I am a prude. I have had my boyfriend over multiple times, but we manage to contain ourselves till she is gone.
She tried to say sorry this morning, but i'm upset and don't know what to say. What to do?

It is not my position to say anything. I just want to act in a professional manner when it is necessary to be around her. Most important, I want to avoid being rude and or losing my cookies. Any suggestions?

I work in an office/engineering environment. Often I receive emails with a simple "thank you" in them. Is it rude to not reply with a "you're welcome" ?

I usually look at the "thank you" emails as an acknowledgment that my email was received and the information in it was sufficient. Usually they seem to come from those who hold positions higher than mine, hence the reason I am concerned with the proper etiquette.

Thanks

There is someone at work who gossips often. I don't want to tick them off or hurt their feelings but I want to tell them I don't want to hear it or participate in it because I don't feel like it is right. I also don't want to sound like I'm judging them if possible.

Christmas is coming up and a relative of mine whom i always give a gift on Christmas is really near the end of her life. we have been told that she may not even make it to Christmas. it wouldn't make sense to really give a gift to someone who is not going to be alive to use it but then to NOT do so seems horrible because she would know that the reason why she would get a card or something is because shes dieing. should i just get something as usual? that's sort of what i feel is best , continue as usual until the end, rather then bury her before shes dead. what do you think? and if you agree that i should buy a gift what sort of thing ought it be?

So Ladies (the older crowd I am looking for 35-50 range and up) Say you were sitting at the movies in pick whatever shoe of choice but barefoot and you could be with someone, or don't have to be and say some younger guy or possibly even girl sat down next to you and a little bit into the movie touches your foot with theirs...let's say the first time you blow it off as an accident but then it's apparent he/she wants to kind of get a game of footsie what do you do? If you are the type that normally plays with your shoes or possibly even footsie with a friend does this weird you out or would you still play? Do you see it as Taboo? If the person that is trying to play with you is attractive or you could even say friendly do you just figure what the heck and play? If you are with a significant other do you still play and not tell them because it's just footsie? Curious to know, thanks for the replies!!!

I try not to be mean but sometimes you can't help it.


People also mistake being mean for honesty.
