Did Fredricka Whitfield prepare for this interview by whiffing on laughing gas for five minutes? She seemed oddly... animated.

I know! I couldn't understand one person getting their britches in a bunch over AFin's situation, much less the several others who piled on with outrageous personal attacks against her and anyone who dared suggest their position was rude and discourteous.

Nah, no worries. The thread got really weird and hostile and when there's that much back-and-forth and Kinja is likely mixing up things to boot, it happens :) Like I said, that's why I double-checked and pretty quickly saw you were on the OP's side :)

you can't be doing that shit where it can identify you and come back to get you

It's the right of the parent commenter to dismiss remarks that are abusive, disrespectful, off-topic or otherwise contribute zero to the conversation. That you are spending time cry-babying about it speaks volumes about the kind of person you are. A well-adjusted, normal individual would simply move on with their day,…

Exactly. And if Katharine Hepburn were alive and passing judgment on Sigourney's choices - "She might have had a beautiful daughter, but she never go to know what it means to be an Academy Award winner. I find that very sad" - I'm sure Ms. Weaver would tell her to mind her own damn business.

Ugh.

Sweetheart, I don't care how much money you have or don't have. If you act with disregard and discourtesy towards others - as you brag about doing, and as you do in comments - you are low class. You're lucky I afforded even that much, since I doubt very much you have any class. But I thought I'd spot you the benefit…

I don't give a shit if low class, inconsiderate losers like you care for me or not. Noise ordinances exist for a reason, precisely because of individuals such as yourself. Don't want to run afoul of them? Don't violate them. Simple as that.

Awwww, hit a little close to home to you, having the police show up and tell you that no, you can't party all night and disturb your neighbors?

I think everyone who is acting like AFin is a "bad pet owner" is basically just acknowledging they're the sort of loud, drunk, inconsiderate assholes she (and many of us) have to deal with and are trying to rationalize themselves. When I finally hit my limit with my neighbors pulling that shit on me, and took…

And you sound like my old neighbors, the 24/7 drunk partiers who thought my property was an extension of their party room atmosphere. It was such a shame when the police started showing up in response to noise disturbance calls and were eventually able to bust them for dealing.

Oops, I think we are actually in agreement - I was defending AFinLA dismissing the nasty comments to her thread, not BB's comments themselves. (I was surprised when I saw your reply in my notifications and I thought, that has to be a mistake, so I came back to the thread and whew! **smile**)

I'll just screengrab the comment as soon as it posts and create my own thread with the pic. :)

Sweetie, shouldn't you be off cancelling your XM subscription and Tweeting your boy Anthony a copy of the cancellation receipt?

No worries. Everyone's been there at some point :) Happy Fourth!

Alcohol, fireworks and firearms. Who could imagine that being a bad combination? :)

It's always going to be expensive to travel; the major difference in cost usually has to do with how close to the travel date you buy your ticket. Besides which, every holiday is different; Memorial Day, Labor Day and July Fourth are most closely associated with car travel (short-trips) rather than long-distance air…

What's amusing is, if we're supposed to plan our weddings around holidays, why stop with federal holidays? I mean, if I'm at all considerate, I should check every state's holiday calendar and really make sure I'm not inconveniencing someone on the guest list. Who knows, my Boston-area friends might have big plans for…
