Wild how people have a Jekyll and Hyde side right? I wonder if half the people would continue to act certain ways if posed with a video of themselves acting like idiots.

I don't think the person was purposely trying to be rude and hurtful.
It was suggested that I should buy myself some flowers because once you get past 45 and you are single, that is the only way to get flowers. It is so dumb, but that was the 2nd time today that my age was brought up.

I understand, and that is very rude indeed

I find that some of the younger people I encounter make age related comments - fortunately it happens seldom - if I make a mistake or forget something - but if a younger person makes the same error nothing is said

younger people who think you don't have a valentine because of your sge are simply ignorant of the facts (45-60 yo peeps are a large group of singles)and leave it at that - if a 25 yo woman didn't get flowers for valentines I am sure no one would comment on her age as being the reason - therefore it is prejudicial treatment

the biggest complaint I have about Anerican culture is the lack of respect for wisdom of elders - an intelligent younger person understands that older folks have much valuable knowledge that comes with experience (as well as a rich sex life!) - the rest? who cares - not melaugh

Exactly. I took today off because I work with a couple of Diva type b*****s that would have given me pity type looks as they pushed their roses in my face. LOL. I felt it would just be better to absent myself from an office full of flowers.

They want me to feel jealous, but I'm not.

New rant--> Drivers that drive 10 miles BELOW the speed limit on dry, clear roads.grumble Really! Really? If you are that scared to drive the limit, pay someone to drive for you or stay home. Sheesh. I can understand if there were car problems that prevented the car from going more than 25 mph and you had to get the car to a mechanic, but use your flashers. rant

no. don't be jealous. no reason. when I see someone getting flowers for valentines I think it's nice

but a woman who uses the specialness of that gift in a hurtful manner shows her true nature - someone that unkind will lose her man soon enough....and yes, I would also just stay away from them

I would not be interested in a man who wants that type of woman anyway, would you?

So he says, "how old is your dog now?". And I say, "well in dog years, shes the same age as me, but in human years, shes 7".

He looks at me and says, "Ahhhhhh, so your 49?".

So I jokingly say, "Pfffffffffft, do I LOOK 49 years old?".

Dead silence.

Then he looks at me and says, "no comment".


Im thinkin, I should of asked him, if I "ACT" 49?laugh

There's a yayhoo at school who always asks if I have a cigarette, I don't even smoke, and I tell him even if I did I wouldn't give him one. Then again, I'm a bit of an a**hole, and in an industry where you kinda have to be an a**hole to survive.

The guy kept giving me some sort of sob story. Which I must say I'm a sucker for at times. Now it got to the point I just want to curse at him and throw things.

To quote Barney Fife,"Nip it, nip it in the bud."

I have a neighbor that did that, she progressed to can I borrow some money to get smokes, to can I borrow $20 bucks. I told her no, that I would not lend my kids a twenty for half an hour let alone a stranger. She pestered me every day, 3 times a day asking for money. I think she finally understood that she was not getting the moola.

Tell him what I tell this other jerkin, "I'm not going to support your self destructing habits". For some reason though, it doesn't come off as me being caring, he always take it like I'm trying to be an a**hole. Well, this is the same "genius" that mixed transmission parts when he threw his parts on the table that had my parts already on it. It's kinda hard not to sound like an a**hole when bit... talking to him.
