I think it is usually due to very large chips on shoulders.

Right. I have done that job and I know that it is possible. Also, I believe part of the point of that job is being welcoming. Being friendly is just so uncool.

I have been trying for the last 2 years to grow columbine and foxglove. They are so beautiful and the fact that they are poisonous is kind of cool and creepy. Have you ever seen a poison ring? If you haven't heard of them, check em out. I bet you would like them.

Word! There are some people on this site that just rage about every bit of minutia being so offensive, that I can't take them seriously. If you want to have a good power rant, latch on only occasionally so as to not come off as a ridiculous, joyless blowhard. If someone tells you that you are pretty, stay calm. It is…

Being offended seems to have become a popular hobby. I like to pick my battles so I can feel the full-force of my righteous indignation!

I wasn't always perfect either hahah! We all may not smoke, but we all eat and drink and there is a serious problem with littering in general. I think some people that don't smoke feel more righteous when they can heave blame at smokers for all the litter left around. I know all of those liquor store pizza boxes were…

I see I have essentially repeated what you and someone else have already said.I hope you all can forgive me. I think in this case repetition may be required. Sometimes I need to hear the same advice from different sources to get it to seep in. This is sooo angering I can barely stand it.

Please tell your mutual friends what he did to you. If any of them aren't 100% on your side like most of us commenters, then you need to get rid of them. I hope your friends rally around you and put that scumbag on blast.

I got that. Thank you for clarifying anyway. One thing on these threads that annoys me is how it can be hard to articulate tone in text. I try not to jump on the defensive. It sucks to feel in order to express yourself you must first wave a flag full of disclaimers. I am kinda new around these boards but I see a lot…

Every time I camp and go to the beach, I pick up butts and various other debris. I don't litter, but I smoke. It's nice to know there is another citizen that is willing to do a little extra to make up for the inconsiderate bastards. Their numbers are vast. Let's do what we can.

Take away my smokes and I will turn into a very dangerous individual. I would like to take this chance to ask fellow smokers to not throw the butts on the ground, along with empty boxes. You are giving the anti crowd fodder and you're makin' me look bad! This also applies to med. marijuana. Don't throw your containers…

You sound like a sweet person. I am sorry birdie didn't make it. Knowing there is someone out there caring for injured birds is nice though.

I was late over a month before. I was in a shit relationship and was experiencing high anxiety. Are you stressed in general? Could be the answer. Good Luck from the woman who has bought 30 preg. tests and never been pregnant!

Can I try? I think the best interpreter of a dream is the dreamer, but since you seem kind of shaken up I would like to offer food for thought. The child could represent something you want but are afraid won't last or work out. Maybe you are afraid to go for something (not necessarily a child) that you desire because…

I don't think anyone should use the n-word. It's ugly. Let it die.

Where were the adults? You can't tell a kid to start a fire and wander off, then blame the kid. I love the "very unattended" description hahah!

:( I really wish she was still acting. (maybe she is?) I never did see that "Searching for Deborah Winger" deal. I don't even know if she was in it. Maybe I should check it out soon.

Anyone remember those Greek yogurt commercials with John Stamos? I quite enjoyed seeing him toying with the lady, holding out the spoon, then eating it himself, followed by the lady decking him and sending him reeling. Not because I would want to harm Stamos, just that they were funny! Stamos is so pretty. Mr. Cooper…

She was so fucking cute in that movie. I love her so. I ended up making friends with this dude who happened to be her nephew when I was a kid. I was so disappointed that he didn't really know that side of his family. I promptly ended the friendship. Just kidding.

Where doesshe find the time? Giant raspberries blown Kelly's way just for you.
