The actual use of the H/C sticker doesn't bother me too much.

I really hate people who use h/c tags who aren't entitled to it - makes me want to yell at people who look perfectly healthy. And I might, but for the persistant fear that they might actually have some horrible heart condition which, if yelled at, would cause them to drop dead.

My new grocery store however, has like, 50% h/c spaces and I have to park far far away from the store, which I do not like. I know the number is regulated, but damn - there are never 30 disabled persons there at once - even on Saturdays.

They also have preggo spaces, but I won't be applying to get a tag until I'm huge and obvious, if then (seems kind wussy).

"Look at these horrible 'private' messages I got from so-and-so. Isn't s/he CRAZY?"

MR,

I disagree. She's actually just running away. Her other trick is to focus on some peripheral part of the post which nails her and try to switch the focus. A good example is her earlier reply to a post from Barely where PP totally ducked the meat of PP's comments and instead focused on some irrelevant comment Barely had made to food. She'll run down each and every laughablr segueway. When caught with her pants around her ankles, her m-o is to deflect.

I'm experimenting today. I want to see what happens when she's forced to deal with her words. So far, its gone as expected.

S(call me cruel, but she ought not to press my buttons)D

You've been watching too much CBS. Which might be explained by their coverage of the NCAA tournament. Or football. Or, god forbid, Touched by an Angel.

I remember that back in the dark pre-Survivor days, when AFC games were on NBC like the good lord intended, being broadcast by Don Criqui and Bob Trumpy, I would watch CBS only from the second week in March through the beginning of April, maybe tuning back in for the Masters.

Now, however, it's ABC that I only watch once in a blue moon. MNF (if I'm not playing hockey), and Bachelor. Of course, I wouldn't watch NBC at all if it wasn't for Boomtown and the Law & Orders.

Speaking of which, I watch Six Feet Under every Sunday, and Boomtown is a much much better show. 6FU has become a soap opera in the worst sense. Boomtown has great characters, great character arcs, each episode has its own brilliant individual cop/detective-stories, awesome performances, good dialogue, everything. I know it's doing solidly well, but I don't understand why it isn't a smash hit. I know disparaging 6FU is heresy in some circles, but I really gotta say that I'm not feelin it dawg.

str8 (off to see Jon Bon tonight) shiller.

JFF,

I'd reply, but I have a problem with explaining my appearance to a man.

S(I am not touchy about ugliness - I'm the cat who gets screamed at for being too harsh about women's bodies... I AM touchy about you twisting posts, as you've done once again here)D

You've only demonstrated you're not touchy about your wife's appearance.

I can just picture Sebby bringing the Mrs. into the plastic surgeon for a tune-up when her looks fade and she no longer catches his eye or stiffens his dick. With his limp little dick in hand, he'll drive her to the plastic surgery center. He'll have a checklist with him containing all her imperfections for the plastic surgeon to erase. He'll have the laser pointer with him to use to show the plastic surgeon exactly where to slice, dice, and suck her. Mrs. Dangerfield sure did marry a winner.

I thought that the spots reserved for pregnant women were a courtesy and not legally binding (meaning you can't get a ticket if you park there and aren't pregant)? Can you really apply for pregnancy tags?

Bite your tongue. Getting rid of Bob Costas was worth the move over to CBS. It also put Cris Collingsworth off the air for a couple of seasons, though I see that he managed to weasel his way back on through Fox.

If only similar moves could have gotten rid of Bill Walton.

R(turns the TV volume low, and the radio volume high when Bill Walton's anywhere near the game)T

PJ, listen carefully to me please. Back away from the keyboard. Please. Just back away.

Hey, please don't kill the messenger, leagl. If I were her parents, I'd disown her for what she said.

Not all attractive women of her mom's generation pimped themselves to the highest available bidder/meal ticket and not all well-off men bought women like chairs. Some couples actually really liked each other.

Its not like women of her generation had too many options.
Sure some of them got PhDs, but in her day, if you had a pretty face and perky C-cup breasts, you didn't get a PhD you got married. There was pressure on the women of her generation to get married and have kids and stay at home and raise them.

How old is your mom? 80? 90? I think you're talking about our grandparents' generation...

Are you really still that clueless?

here's a hint: Leagl didn't tell you to back away b/c she was offended by what JFF wrote.

Jesus.

She wasn't the type to buck the tide. Found herself the best sperm donor she could. Quite frankly, I thank her for it. Money may not make you happy, but it sure does make life easier.

POTD so far.

I'm sure Hallmark makes a card that would help you let her know how you feel.

No, they're not legally binding - you have to get a little stork tag from the store, as I understand it, or they will shake their fists at you and tell you off.

This post doesn't make you look any less psycho. And why would you insult someone in a private message, and NOT expect them to forward it?

Just for the record, if you ever insult me in a pm, I will post that shit all over the board.

and yes TM, I am dominating the board today. It's all about ME ME ME today. Me. Me. and more Me.

I am guessing you missed what I was asking you to do.
