Follow up. Your comment makes me want to find the nearest glass table and smear peanut butter all over it;)

Yes. And I am feeling so good about the replies. I thought I was a monster for disliking these atrocities.

good lawd! Indeed. I am recalling the one time I wandered into a COOL party. I immediately knew it was cool because there were black people there!!!! Not the standard in the Midwest in the late 80s. But damn! I was just thrilled to be there. A dude so incredibly chill smiled at me like we were soul mates and cut up…

Hahahah! What a fabulous take. And so true!! Thank goodness for opaque tables under which our holiday food babies can blissfully hide until we ask our SO or host to bring us our coats :D

Whoooa! Whole new take on this bad boy. No “pitty pat” under the freakin glass table folks!

Hideous, and isn’t it nearly impossible to refrain from judging people who invest in such a monstrosity?

Oh dear White Cherry. If only it were so:D. I am LOST when it come to home decor, but glass - yes - it is tacky and now I want to know who started this heinous trend.

yes! Yes! YES! Why do we feel this way? I’m recalling something now, and it isn’t good. Could it be THIS? Warning: graphic but fake and poorly done).From The Omen.

You are a never ending mystery, my Friend..Seriously, I would love to meet you and pretend to be a stranger :D

Haw! Haw! Haw! Love the ad. The brief weird philosophical musings were interesting and then SWOOSH desk gone. But I’m assuming you had a million little glass shards, which are far worse, and you can never get ALL of them, and what if they get under you skin or IN YOUR FOOD??!!!

Now that IS certainly a possibility, but I needed it spelled out for me. And yes, haha! Give it to us. There are ways to make even the most awful stuff taste good;)

Thank you MusinMane. I have tried (pretty clumsily) to talk about this before, but I get nada. The whole business (and I mean that) of psychiatry is going to have to start proving it is an objective science - which I don’t think it can. However, as far as true neurological problems are concerned, I am hoping every day…

I did. AND then I read up a bit more on the GS (which I’m not qualified to comment on). I must admit that this looks very much like a bait and switch

“poems for everyone.” You are one of a kind, Calmer:)

Yes, THAT IS a crime, but - damn! - that table had no “frame,” no.....Seriously, I don’t ever want to insult your taste, but that table...Oh lord, I can see myself running right TROUGH it in the dark (and I needs my legs, Precious!)

I have not seen this, but I know some cultures consume their dead hoping to assimilate their best qualities. I don’t think even the Soup Nazi (Seinfeld) could sell this monstrosity - even WITH bread.

And, by the way, that was most beautifully worded.

Why do you say “so many replies full of shit?” That just isn’t cool, bro (I’m assuming you are a guy? ) I see nothing but love and good advice here. Seriously, you don’t need to insult everyone here, because your break-up was so “special.”

Hehe! IS there something holy or is it that after enough time they become a bona fide artifact? :)

I grew up on a Midwestern farm. We had a big garden which produced MANY green beans, that we would pick , then “snap.” I don’t even remember why. My mom rather overcooked them with bacon. It was passable, but now as a vegetarian I uniformly reject them. They hardly even have any nutrition.
