oh, shut up- Page 11

Yeah, I love all kinds of animals too, and it just amazes me how dumb people are with them sometimes. Like, I've been working at an animal shelter for a few months now, and even us volunteers have to be careful when handling any of the animals.

But, what I hate, ends up happening at the fair in my area. My sister has been involved with 4-H with rabbits, and before she became a leader, she brought her rabbits to the fair to be shown, and left them there all week. are ropes up a couple feet from the cages, and signs telling people not to pet the bunnies or stick their fingers in the cages. And the stupid people do it anyway. I've also seen little children step behind the rope, and their parents just watch them like it's so cute. I have been bitten by my old rabbit before, and it hurts. They mainly only do it when they are really stressed or scared. We actually had one that after one year of staying the entire week, it could only be brought up the day of the show after that because it just got nasty with all the noise and probably getting poked. I mean, I know if someone has their rabbit out, they will gladly let people pet it, but there is no reason anyone needs to be sticking their fingers in the cages or stepping behind the rope.

I totally approach random dogs on the streets. ha ha
I say just use your common sense. And, of course, if the owner tells you it's not a good idea, then don't go near the dog.

BUT if the owner is just being a jerk and doesn't want you touching their dog that they left outside of a store, then they can shut up. They don't sound like loving dog people anyway.
I would have pet the lab as well, nygrl232. :)

There is an alley behind my Father's house, and sometimes when our dogs are in the backyard, people walk by and the dogs bark. Then the people start yelling at the dogs to shut up. Are they kidding?
The dogs are just doing their job and being protective of their property and owners. If they didn't yell back at the dogs and hit the fence, the dogs would stop.
Stupid people.

My favorite sentence of the day.

Theatrebaby,in all seriousness, it really isn't wise to pet random dogs on the street without their owners permission. Some dogs, like my old man, have had abusive backgrounds and will take an outstretched hand as and act of aggression. Specially if they are hard of hearing and practically blind.
Old man Foley has had shy biting problems since a pup and it was the main reason he was on death row at age 6 months. Everyone in his life knows the procedure when approaching him. Those who don't run the risk of a nip.

To the studio audience currently on "Dear Food Network" - SHUT UP!!! Alton Brown really isn't all that funny. Really.

Uh yeah...I probably should have worded that sentence differently. LOL! My duh moment for the day. :)

Yeah, I would just like to scream at this moment. Just a bad night where everyone should have just said nothing and left it as nothing. But of course, that did not happen and I'm just so upset.

Well my mind didn't even go there until Mr. Matt brought it up. But now I'm LMAO!

SHUT UP . . .

. . . about your kids! They're not the only ones out there. In fact, they're a dime a dozen. And there are TOO MANY DOZENS!

If I wanted to be enthralled by children, I would have had some - but MY birth control WORKS.

Write a book - include pictures, or even scratch-and-sniff - but leave the rest of us alone. We don't CARE what your 'oh so precious and obviously different creative geniuses' have farted out today!

It's already well established that I'm a mean ole queen. And, obviously, the only one in the history of the world not to like children, which makes me the worst person ever - worse than Hitler, Cheney and Carrot Top combined!

Oh, Q, Carrot Top is MUCH worse than you.

And not nearly as good looking.

Point well taken.

And really BAD work, at that.

People who insist on hogging the sidewalk, grocery aisle, stairway, or whatever because they are engrossed in a loud volume cell phone conversation for all the world to hear need to shut the f*ck up.

Ditto for those who suddenly stop in their tracks at the top of an escalator. Just where do they think the people behind them are supposed to go? Just sayin'.

People who deliberately get in my way, thinking I'll get out of theirs...shut up. Anyone who assumes I'm sweet/gullible...shut up. Anyone who calls me sweetheart...shut up and then...shutupagain. All sabotaging undercurrents both internal and external--shut up and get wood-chippered. All those morons writing those "helpful" Yahoo articles like "10 Dating Mistakes" can shut up and have their word processors confiscated. The misogynists on this board...apologize, then shut up.

Yesterday there was this girl on a treadmill 3 down from me talking on her cell phone while running. Who can even do that?

And I had my ipod headphones on, and ipod pretty loud, and I could still hear her talking. Was she freaking yelling for criminy's sake? SHUT UP!

Kwame Kilpatrick, ex-mayor of Detroit is finally in jail and has finally had to shut up.

I love kids (I'm a teacher, after all), but I agree 100% about the parents who simply don't parent. I was at a friend's house two New Years Eve's ago, and her uncle and aunt were there with their little brats. The two kids ran around the house, LITERALLY banging toys together and screaming at the top of their lungs -- nothing was done. The moment that sealed the deal for me was when the mom finally tried to get the six year old boy to bed (at like 11:45) the kid stood up from the floor and HURLED a toy right at her head! What did the mom do? She actually got down on the floor and said "Johnny, that's not nice." She then looked up at me and the couple of other people in the room with a "What are you going to do?" look. She then left little Johnny to continue to playing! What are you going to do? DISCIPLINE YOUR DAMN KID!!!!!

I have a friend whose 2 year old throws things at her all the time. She doesn't do much about it either.

I'm pretty sure I have mono. Which would suck, because I haven't kissed anybody in the recent past, and if I'm gonna get mono I at least want to have a little fun before getting it.


I have a friend who is rather promiscuous. She's always upset because there's "sooo much drama" in her life and doesn't understand why "these things always happen" to her. I have an idea. Maybe if you stopped getting drunk and hooking up with people's boyfriends and your ex's best friends every weekend, the drama would stop. When I try telling her that she thinks I'm calling her a slut and gets extremely offended. Secretly, I am calling her a slut, but it's only because she kind of is. I swear, the only thing you can say to this girl is "You are so right. I'm on your side." Otherwise, she'll flip. (and of course, this girl doesn't get mono, and I do.)
