Your comment on DM's blog made me think of it.<br />When I was about 14 my cousin from Mississippi was in and so we went to the wal-mart down in Knobblers Gob to get our picture taken together. <br />The photographer set us down, and posed us, and then went back and got under that little black cape thing.<br />My cousin asked me what he was doing.<br />I said he's going to focus.<br />She said Bofus?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679637238769603836.post-43223362141631059832012-12-17T15:50:16.623-08:002012-12-17T15:50:16.623-08:00Great post, made me laugh the whole way through! I...Great post, made me laugh the whole way through! I agree with the re-gift idea, doubt she will buy you stuff after that!<br />I argue in the shower too with what I should have said, going to say etc. I thought I was weird (still up for debate), especially since it comes out in all random bits. <br /><br />We have a similar thing happening at work, one woman refuses to tell us whether she is buying gifts for our bosses (which means she is) and will not participate in a group gift (each to their own), but why make it so secretive? So WE can look like shitheads if we don't and she's awesome because she did and we wont know what she is getting so we cant 'out do' her. I wonder if its only us women who can be so petty?Door mathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03105167582093532393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679637238769603836.post-41702919777156140282012-12-17T14:21:38.912-08:002012-12-17T14:21:38.912-08:00Gladys,

Um... maybe it would be best to just re-gift her back the same moose pooper that she just gave me. That'll jam her gears up for a good while, don'tchathink?<br /><br />Maybe with a card that says, "Bless your little heart!"<br />LOL. <br /><br />Love,<br />VanciVancihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12324986021125687199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679637238769603836.post-70910845038859490252012-12-17T13:10:50.580-08:002012-12-17T13:10:50.580-08:00Ex act lee.Ex act lee.Gladyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03379796403577898107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679637238769603836.post-76054924364671423912012-12-17T12:05:43.989-08:002012-12-17T12:05:43.989-08:00Vanci, yes - I will.

I am getting used to indulging myself since I kept quiet for so long. This space is great for that.<br /><br />I'll talk to her again, but she is neurotic and spastic like a chihuahua and I don't think she ever HEARS anything but the beating of her frantic heart.<br /><br />Por Ejemple: This woman will fight to pay you back 83 cents that she thinks she owes you. There is no buying her a drink - she cannot rest until she rootles around in the bottom of her purse for the $4 she owes you. She MUST return plastic kitchen storage items, she wont take NO I DON'T WANT IT BACK THROW IT AWAY for an answer. I think she would rinse and return zip loc baggies. She exhausts me. She isn't even 40-years old yet.<br /><br />She is very dear, bless her heart, but LORD people exhaust me.Gladyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03379796403577898107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679637238769603836.post-75390268437836637252012-12-17T11:17:51.261-08:002012-12-17T11:17:51.261-08:00Gladys my dear,
I couldn't agree with TW more...Gladys my dear, <br />I couldn't agree with TW more. It's a boundary violation when you go to the trouble to say, this is the line, and another party steps over it after you've drawn it (whether they agreed to it or not.)<br />I have those conversations too, and I keep having them to myself until I get back around to a calm solution or I find that I just don't care any more. No, you're not crazy. Or, hell, if you are at least you're in good company!<br /><br />If they're relationships you want to save, though, could this be an opportunity to let your friend know why you were so offended and let her know you a little bit more? <br /><br />Love,<br />VanciVancihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12324986021125687199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679637238769603836.post-35299487144683253882012-12-17T11:14:40.326-08:002012-12-17T11:14:40.326-08:00Women are notorious for doing this.

Women still have to buy that token present and then one up each other until it's like the agreement never existed.

NO RESPECT (Rodney Dangerfield voice). Seriously. I'm so pissed because (thank you for helping me figure this out) I have no voice. People don't hear me, they don't want to hear me or see me so they cover me with what they think. no WONDER I spend every day, all day, alone.

Simple as THAT, woma...Gladys, They Boundary Busted. Simple as THAT, woman. And NO, that's NOT "OK." OR "PC." They agreed and then changed the 'Rules." With OUT consulting YOU.<br />Feel familiar? It should, Little One. It's not just about the gifts (the Manifest "stuff") but more importantly what they represent (the Latent "stuff.") You're acting (NOTE: I did NOT say "REacting) in direct proportion to their Boundary Busting/Game Changing shit. You said "No." You meant "No." And they just pole-vaulted over "Traa-La-La-La-La" over you stated wishes. By doing this not only did they resurrect the same ACoN stuff we were subject to for years but demonstrated blatant disregard for YOU. It wouldn't have mattered if the "Gift" was a pile of Moose Poop or Dog Poop, it's all disrespectful towards you.<br />Apologies are required on THEIR part. When people say no, they mean NO. You didn't survive all THAT "back there" to be confronted with the same ol' "here." Stand your ground, Gladys. Accept no "excuses." The offenders need to own up, and you don't need to explain other than to say perhaps, "I don't know what it is about the word "No" you didn't get and that's not my problem. Don't ever think you can step on my "No" again. Now, what did you just hear me SAY?"<br />You're not crazy. I stomp around here having imaginary conversations but the old cat starts following me around and "vocalizing" and getting all upset so I end up singing my conversation off tune as usual and she calms down. So do I. Honestly, sometimes they are the sanest conversations I have all day, especially on Mon. when the Housekeeper was here with her adult DD "cleaning" at 7:03 this AM.<br />Don't get me started on what she did today..............;)<br />TWTundra Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12262066568878267648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679637238769603836.post-74225387280377187722012-12-17T08:39:42.286-08:002012-12-17T08:39:42.286-08:00I would wrap that glass head up and pass it on for...I would wrap that glass head up and pass it on for the next birthday. Whether it's for that same group of friends or someone else, let them know it's a joke/game and there are no expectations of keeping it or pretending to like it, the whole point is to pass it on. You could even set up a facebook page for the head and encourage the gift recipients to tag pictures of it so other recipients can see where it's traveled...<br />If you already pissed her off with the candy shitting moose, it won't matter that the head disappears ;-)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679637238769603836.post-28885306128663251702012-12-17T07:01:55.797-08:002012-12-17T07:01:55.797-08:00Play their game this year and give them all this.
