I googled "how to take over the world with paper clips," and this site was on the second page.

No, my heart was in a gajillion pieces. Ex boyfriend wanted to stay friends, but still called me all the time and acted like my boyfriend.

I had hopes he wanted to try again.

He didn't, but I'm glad.

I started answering questions, but I wasn't hooked until I started getting GREENIES.

No, because she completely missed the point of my post. She was a chucklehead. Anyway, I had balancers to back me up.

In any case, my feelings don't get hurt THAT easily.

Yuck, I hate reddies.
Finally got rid of mine, it disappeared down the bottom of the page... happy days.

I figured as much, as you seem pretty "dog goned" tough in your posts. I like a strong woman, I married one.

The greenies ARE habit forming. They seem like positive re-enforcement.

Yea, the greenies pushed it out to the trash.

Heck I have most likely got more reddies over the years than some of you have greenies. People don't always like our answers,

Yes, and it seems that they are given out more often mistakedly, before they actually read the rules.

I'm tough because I work out. ;)

No, too often people give advice that protects the OP's "feelings." "Oh, I can't be stern with them because they might get upset and not like me!"

That's crap. Sometimes people's feelings need to get hurt so they realize what ridiculous choices their making. Some of the best advice I've ever gotten hurt my feelings. I cried about it, sucked it up, and then fixed the issue.

I hate how the world is becoming more concerned with "feelings" than actually giving good constructive criticism and finding the solutions to issues.

I'm the same way. I refuse to hurt my wife's feelings though, anyone else is fair game. Nobody said life was all daisies and rainbows.

I bleached my house and was dying of the smell. I didn't know whether it could kill me- it's my first thread, didn't receive any replies for it [wait I think one].. yet I'm still here...

Ha.

Were there any casualties? Clothes, drapes, carpet?

mudweiser · Aug 9, 2009, 01:00 PM

No there was mold in my basement or something like that-- I don't remember what it was but my entire home was bleached.

There was nothing but bad headaches, nausea, dizziness and other fun stuff.

I lived to tell the tale ;)
