Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
1. Why would you say that?
2. Why do you feel the need to belittle me/others?
3. Do you know how rude/awful/petty you sound right now?
4. Did I ask for your opinion?
5. Does belittling me make you feel superior at this moment?
6. Where did you learn your manners?
7. What qualifications do you have to judge me?
8. Why do you think I should consider your opinions?
9. Is judging other people a hobby, or are you a professional?
But I understand wanting to take a break too.
The example response I gave below is one way to reply to such comments.
This is about a possible response to any kind of crap comment.
I saw on the internet:
“Someone (anyone) says something out of line/too personal/rude/stupid and I've been replying with, "I am not interested in your opinion on this matter, but if you would like to discuss the weather, I would love to hear your thoughts.””
I miss seeing previous posters too. Yeah, breaks are good from time to time.
Important update: My whole house still smells of perfume, one week after having broken the perfume glass bottle. Still loving the smell.
I think many of us can use a break, and find it useful. I will be off grid July 15-August 15 as I am yearly, and I always benefit from that time without social media in general. It's always my intention to keep it cut way back when I return from being off grid. But slowly it seems to creep back in, insinuating itself I always think, but I am afraid I am the one to blame.
Garden Artist. Also don't see Country Mouse. So very many. Some show up infrequently, like WindyRidge, and I always enjoy seeing them again.
I don’t think I have seen FF posting anything recently.
Also, there were all of the technical issues. I wonder if some people didn’t bother with getting their account fixed.
Alva and Barb helped me to get my account fixed with Ashley at AgingCare.
Of interest for me as I recommended an ER is itsmehere who, several months ago now I think, was complaining of severe abdominal pain and who was convinced by us to check with her local ER.
Never heard another word afterward from someone who seemed an engaged responder? I had sent a PM asking she update us to let us know she was OK, but nothing.
Thank you!
Congrats on the new great grand baby!
Polarbear!
Way to go, what a wonderful sentiment to the U.S.A.!
Catskie,
Yes, a most blessed child on your avatar! Newborn, close to independence day!
You are the Auntie?
I too was just blessed with the title: Great Grandmother. Still in the shock of things. recently got out of bed, and out of the house I am so very happy.
What a wonderful time to celebrate it all!
Hmmm, maybe I ought to order labels with MIL name on them so they are ready for her emergency admission that is coming . Since she doesn’t live nearby , I pictured myself in a hotel room ironing the labels on her clothes . 🙄🙄. We never stay at MIL house plus I doubt she owns an iron anymore .
I wish I had better things on my mind .
🤔😬🙄😕🤦♀️🤷♀️
A HUGE AMEN FROM ME.
Happy Birthday to America!
Happy Independence Day!
