Things you wish you could say

I hope your fake "service dog" you selfishly drag everywhere brings you a lawsuit.

As far as humidity... weather app says 20%. But I don't know how accurate it is to my exact area.

I would need chapstick all day, like when we stayed in Idaho.
I don't think we've ever gotten that low in FL!

Here: 92 F / 89% humidity.

Yep, that would be too close to the sidewall here. That totally sucks.

At least I have road hazard on them so I'll get a prorate on a replacement.

Ya it shouldn't be bad with that low of miles on them. Usually happens to me when they're half tread or less.

Yeah, I think I'd do better in an area that is a little more humid as well. Not extremely so, but more than here.

But that's what PC actually is! It used to be called Polite. Then people decided being polite and considering others feelings was something to put down, so they invented a label they could use with a sneer.

If you believe in the Golden Rule then you are PC and that's totally cool and the way we all should have been taught to behave.

There's plenty of ways to speak one's mind without being inconsiderate. It helps to have a good vocabulary and a creative mind, like you do. But the most essential ingredient is an empathetic heart, which you also have.

Wise words.

Never, never going to leave my mouth!
There needs to be a reasonable justification for words pronounced differently than the spelling or I speak the spelling, so there!



Forget the arbitrary rules. I used to say my brother would finally grow up in his 30's. Didn't happen, he's worse now.
The scariest thing ever was my mom saying she had obtained the age to finally speak her mind, when she's been doing so all along.
Conclusion: People become more of whatever they already are as they age.
When you speak what you think, just make sure it comes out in a way you'd be comfortable with someone speaking to you, then you have no guilt while being free of silly rules.

Oh gosh! That means I will get worse with “horse talk” and “chicken chat”!!

Heaven help us all

P = Politically C = Correct
Some times that is just good manners - sometimes it is clap trap.
In case you can't tell I got the memo, spent the 1st 30yrs of my life trying it out - tore it up and have much more enjoyed the 2nd 30+yrs

Yes good decision.

Hmmmm politically correct - thank you - I was trying to figure out what the PC stood for (figured it was my sisters initials ).

I almost came close to tearing a strip off my boss for making a comment regarding how busy it is and that ‘if there is a lineup at the lab don’t wait around we are too busy- you can get your test done another time’.

Them is fighting words buddy - I could have pointed out “well buddy it wasn’t ME who frigged off to the sunny south for two weeks during an Ice Storm and everyone was over worked, if you had been here signing off on the invoicing I would not be so far behind I will never catch up!”

“And BTW I told you back last Dec I needed an assistant for the work load, so take your misogynistic attitude and stick it buddy! And while we are on it don’t you ever try to embarrass or insult me in front of visitors ever again - you know I will turn that around and call you out on it in front of said persons”.

Ok sorry all that’s my whining done for now - must get my butt in gear and get to work.

Can’t wait to sing Johnny Paycheque….
