    Has anyone else noticed the difference this year? It seems that everywhere I've gone lately people have been so cranky, impatient and rude. I'm not just talking about Christmas shopping. Even in the grocery stores people have acted differently. I had a few different incidents yesterday when I...

    A friend of mine came over this past weekend to pick up her son from my DS's 16th birthday party. She also has a 13 year old daughter. From the time they walked in the door the daughter started making these really rude comments to me in front of her mother. "My mom doesn't really like you, she...

    dd is now 18 months and admittedly she is smaller than average she is in the 20th percentile in height and not really on the weight curve anymore, although she is close! when people see her out and about they are amazed at her because they think she is 12ish months but when I tell them how old...

    Why are people so mean and rude these days? I have been running my friends shop for a few months now. She is unable to do it. I have no choice but to bring my kids. If I can't bring the kids, the store has to close. I had the rudest woman today.. She was nasty to my kids and myself. They...

    A neighbor's 7-yr-old dd (M.) came over to play with my 5-yr-old dd today while the mom went shopping. History: My dd is adopted, and her friend knows it. She'd asked me in the past if I was her "real mom" and also told me once that I was too old to be my dd's mom. (Um, her mom is only 4...

    Today when I went to pick my kids up from school, I parked on the street as usual as the school parking lot is a joke and you have to walk in to pick up kindergardeners. So I parked leaving enough room between me and the car in front so I could get out when I had to leave. Then a woman in a...

    We recently got our main bathroom totally gutted and remodeled. Have been wanting to do this for YEARS as the house is older and really needed it. We waited until we had CASH and didn't need the cash for something else (priorities). Well, DD (16) told a friend of hers (not even an old friend...

    My family was leaving a restaurant today and we happen to notice two young ladies getting out of the car. Both of ladies were on their cell phones just chatting away. I guess this just really struck me as odd for some reason. Since when is the person on the phone more important than the...

    Ok I am going to vent here. When I was growing up my mother really empahsized watching what you say. Thanks so much Mom ! However it seems that lately people have been saying to me and asking me such rude things. It is unbelievable ? What ever happened to the basics like: "Think about what you...

    Since we're moving here in a couple of weeks, and will have a smaller garage, I decided to do some major cleaning out of the "extras" that we have stored out in the garage. I decided to take all of my yardsale stuff and quite a few other clothes, etc. that DH and I hadn't worn in a couple of...

    Last night I finally found a Home School group in my area (as opposed to the "big city" an hour south of us). They have a Yahoo Group, so I joined the group. Membership has to be granted by the administrator/moderator of the group, which I totally understand. Otherwise you get a group full of...

    I gave my sil some of my receips for thanksgiving? I already had a menu, made place cards and made a spread sheet for my cooking time line when I was informed that my brother wanted to host. Fine not a problem, but I dont really want to eat my sils dry Turkey. She isn't much on cooking and...
  14. Debt Reduction & Money Management
    Since the thread about the CCCS has gotten to be just a lesson in manners I am going to give an honest critique as I am with a CCCS right now. I'm torn in both directions.. on one hand they got my creditors to cut my interest rates (one was as high as 30%) and that has saved me money, but I am...

    I am so bothered right now by the absolute lack of manners shown by so many children and adults. I have mentioned before that DS, John, is growing his hair out for Locks of Love. He has the most beautiful thick hair. It has big locks of curls that any girl would die for. Honestly, we get so many...

    I can not believe what I just saw my neighbor do. I was standing at the sink finishing up some dishes. I see here put something in her trash, it sits on the side of her RENTED house and that's my kitchen window view. She begins to pick up several small things in the rocks, Then walks across my...

    Since there is no ranting and raving section (is there???) I will post this here. But I warn you...it's a long one. I just don't understand people...... First off, dh is selling his table saw and listed it in the paper over the weekend. They had a special, so it was extended two days. No calls...
