OMG do it yourself!
You seem to want some special words that never call you out…
Even a minuscule amount of power corrupts. Add a bunch of whiny followers, and you get a very sad situation.
Power without checks and balances, without accountability for those who wield it, results in individual abuses at best and institutional despotism when wielded by many.
My nephew should have turned 22 today, just seven weeks after my son did. 
I still can’t believe he’s gone.
Every thread is not about you.
Rest in peace. I’m sorry you never learned to love yourself or those who loved you. Your music will live in my heart.
I wish you were not related to my DH because then I could have nothing to do with you and life would be so much more pleasant.
Your grad school idea is just cold feet. Not well thought out AT ALL. Please just make the phone call that you know you should make.
All these airline problems! Really makes me wish D was within driving distance.
Oh.My.God. Unbelievable.
Since we are time tripping here, I am looking forward to seeing if I am 16 years old when I wake up tomorrow.
I really didn’t have seven hours to work on your project today. And no, I will not send the drawings until you pay the invoice we sent you in DECEMBER!!!
Oh, sweetie, I can tell you’re barely out of high school, but you need to learn how to read construction documents if you’re going to work for a mason.
People who do not pay invoices on time suck. B-)
Yes. I did just toss stuff into the garbage and did not empty and clean and recycle the 2 year old pantry stuff–
while you were sleeping
We win awards, so to speak, for recycling every single thing every single day.
So, yes, tonight I cheated.
Out of town company arrives in a few hours… :)>-
The cadence of that woman’s voice is going to drive me out of my mind. Wish they would stop inviting her on.
I should not have to come home from a full day at work and clean the kitchen and then fix dinner. I did grocery shopping on Sunday to avoid this scenario. I’m done.
Please, please, please, please let him get this job. Please. Amen.
I was just in a discussion that touched on “people skills” on another thread. Something about that very term bothers me. When I hear that someone has good “people skills,” actually, I worry about being manipulated by them. Virtually everything that I value in terms of human interactions is a matter of character, and not a “skill”: kindness, integrity, thoughtfulness, patience, humility, forbearance, generosity (and probably other characteristics). It is true that these qualities can be nurtured and/or modeled, but they are qualities, rather than skills.
