    My main one is the fact that bullying has taken over our school and none of the adults will do #$%#$% about it! Why? Because phones are more important! So tell me this, is a phone so important that it should interfere with something that can damage someone's mental, physical and emotional state? I don't think so!

    I agree with that! Bullying in schools has gotten out of control.

    I agree bullying is really bad. But I'm not sure this qualifies as a "pet peeve." :) This is serious stuff for kids.

    True enough. It is much worse than a pet peeve. It more like an epidemic, with the things like the role models being people like Brittney, Paris, or Lindsey! What normal kid can live up to that image, and even if they could, what kind of message is that sending?

    All you end up with is a generation of anorexic, bulimic, drug induced, ill-mannered, illiterate, greedy,. children, if there aren't parents that set rules and boundaries, and set moral standards! The kids that want to do well and have parents who try and teach them to be who and what they want to be, are the ones that get ridiculed. So it makes it really tough on kids these days!

    Hahah rubberneckers on the highway that cause horrendous traffic.. even if there is just a car that broke down and a tow truck is helping, people have to slow down to look.. it drives me insane!!

    Sometimes I wonder if we truly are the smartest species on the planet.. it's just beyond stupidity... I'm sooooo frustrated, but I have to admit, writing it on here makes me feel better, thanks guys;)

    I was recently called an alcoholic.

    You're not an alcoholic Sneezy, really, you aren't, I think. ;)

    Come to Canada, we can drink together. :)

    Wow Sneezy, I hate to intrude but that is bad to drink to fall asleep.. my grandpa who was an alcoholic his whole life told my dad "don't ever drink to fall asleep, or you won't ever be able to fall asleep sober."

    In short my grandpa died of liver failure at 60... hate to make you feel bad, but that seems like a problem to me... maybe you should look into getting help?

    Yikes. Yeah, it all started in college. I never slept a whole lot... since high school... usually 2 - 4 hours a day... which was OK, but I never had trouble actually falling asleep. Then after college, I started having trouble falling asleep... and now, I've tried lots of things... nothing works.

    I work out regularly, I don't eat before I sleep... I'm relaxed... I'm tired... but nothing. Doctor gave me ambien to try, but... not a big fan of taking pills to sleep. So here I am...

    Are you really stressed and anxious a lot? That could be a factor.. maybe your brain is running too fast... you could have ADD..

    My ex boyfriend has ADD and without his medication, it's sooo hard for him to fall asleep, because too many things are running through his brain at way high speeds, lol.. did you ever think you might have it?
  • Aug 21, 2008, 12:18 PM
    ISneezeFunny
    ... heh, I've always joked about ADD... hmm.

    Nah, I don't think I have ADD... although I'm constantly stressed... but then again, who isn't?

    Ah! Yes.

    Oh, 9 year olds left. I could have been wrong about their age. They seem to talk like 11 year olds.

    I'm off to a bookstore and to grab Lilster to go to the park! Whoo hoo!

    Will you need surgery to remove the spoon from your eye/fork from your neck?

    (I took a friend, her foster child and the foster child's friend to a local carnival. If you have any questions about Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers or some sort of virginity ring (such as THEM: "Is that a purity ring?" At this point my friend snorted loudly through her nose.

    ME: "No, it's a wedding ring." THEM: "The Jonas Brothers wear purity rings." ME: Who are the Jonas Brothers, kids in your school?" THEM: eyes rolling. They think I live in a cave.)

    - just ask me. I know all the answers. I know nothing about what they are doing or going to do in school - and neither do they.)

    I don't know about that - for some of us this is very good for business. As is backing up without looking.

    I recommend both - don't look before you back up and drive 15 on all entrance ramps. When you actually get onto the expressway, drop your speed to 10.

    Test the skills and reflexes of the driver behind you - start up a signal and then slam on your brakes and see if he/she is paying attention.

    Ppls aren't listening to me.

    Yes, apparently you wear some sort of ring (looks like a wedding ring) and it's a promise to yourself or somebody that you will remain a virgin and/or pure (which may or may not be the same thing) until marriage.
