your catch phrase

by SpiceItUp in

jw

so i'm sitting here at work and it just dawned on me that i use the same phrase over and over subconsciously.

in my job i have lots of people that thank me on the phone and for some reason instead of saying "your welcome" (which i do use occasionally) i say "not a problem" or "no problem".. what is your little catch phrase that you subconsciously use?.

WHAT IS YOUR PET PEVE?

what is it that really irritates you ,i mean the most annoying ,thing that when you see it or hear it you just clench your teeth,we all have them so let's hear yours.mine is religious boasting.there is this home builder that advertises on tv and says his crap then says we are a christien company.oh yes , because he said that i would trust him more then anyone else,he must have higher standards.

(ya right).or those people who advertise with bumper stickers of their religion,and yes the freaking door bell ringers trying to push their crap on me.isn't it what you feel inside?why advertise to everyone?does it make you feel more important or more religious?because of the attempt to show me that you have faith does not make me feel i could trust you.

this is just one of my irritants and hope not do offend,everyone has the right.

I can't bear it when people say that they are going to the "liberry" to check out a book. Almost as bad as the person who, when asked for their license, say: "I left THEM in the car" instead of "I left IT in the car". I know these are little things---but they are very irritating!!!!!!

Ex Fundie = ex Christain?

by Brummie in

do people believe that being an ex-fundie is tantamount to being an ex-christain?

seems thats the generalisation of many.

can't someone be an exfundie and yet remain a christian...?

omiecoop

Unfortunately, IMO, it appears that way. I don't think it should have to be that way. Being a Christian does not have anything to do with the mind numbing activities of the cults like JWs and Mormons, but it all too often turns the ex into a total non believer. I believe the cult leaders will some day have to answer for this.

Fatties won't pony up cash for two seats

frankly, if you are that overweight, you should pay for two seats, pure and simple.

why should someone have to be crushed by someone obese?

skinny people have rights, too

I consider this thread to be the work of mindless heartless assholes.

LB----> Thanks for saying many of the things that I have been thinking as I read this thread. I was so appalled at the way people think about others that I was beginning to think that everyone felt that way. Thanks for being a thoughtful human being, and calling a spade a spade.

What Are You Doing On New Year's Eve?

got any big plans?

i plan on going in the big city til the wee hours of new years day.....and you??

?

I thought everybody knew that "professional" partyers do not go out on New Year's Eve, only amateurs! Seriously, to those who do go out, have a designated driver or party in a hotel where you can get a room---BE SAFE and ARRIVE ALIVE in 2003!

As for me, I will stay with my 3 year old grandson while my son and daughter in law go out to a party at a friends house. This is a tradition that I began the first New Year's Eve after he was born. There is no one on earth that I would rather kiss at midnight than my grandson(while he is sleeping, of course!) I can go out and party ANY night, but that night will be for Isaac and me. Next New Year's Eve, we will have a little girl for me to kiss, too(Hannah Madison). She is due in March, and I can't wait. Happy New Year to all of you, and BE CAREFUL!

Why on earth do boys..............................

think that farting and burping are sooooooooo funny????????

my son will be 9 in jan and my bf's nephew is the same age only 2 weeks later than my son's birthday.

my son (jessie) and chris (the nephew) stayed over for a couple days.

This is the funniest thread that I have ever read on this forum! You guys kill me! My funniest fart story concerns my goddaughter when she was about two--she was sitting in the living room floor playing when all of a sudden, nature just kind of took a swipe at her--she hiccuped and farted at the same time!!! She jumped straight up--it scared the crap out of her, then she looked at me like "What in the hell did you do to me!!!" You had to be there, but it was by far, the funniest fart I have ever witnessed in my entire life!

My advice about the boys--ignore it if you can, if not--take away one hour of video games(or something equally important to him for every fart you smell. I found that denial of a child's favorite things works great, and you don't have to hurt anything but their feelings.

Does this ever happen to you???

i am at home minding my own business.

i went upstairs to find something to cook for dinner, i bend down to get some chicken and.........

a damn kingdom song pops into my head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

omiecoop

I swear this works....

When you get any song in your head, and you can't for the life of you get the tune OUT of your head, do this:

Sing the words to Amazing Grace to the tune of the theme to Gilligan's Island.

I don't know why, but when you get through, the sticky song is brushed from the corners of your mind!!
