Getting ripped off?

Sawsen @Sawsen (793) • United States 21 Feb 07

I bought a little quilt for my daughter for $50 and I paid an additional $10 for her name to be engraved on it. Today I was checking that same store online, and that same quilt that I bought is now only $15.00!! It's so upsetting....

angelashupe I don't think you're getting "ripped off" as you say. It just simply sounds like that you didn't wait long enough for the price to drop. Just be glad that you got it =) It's like the day that I went in and bought a doll set for Aubree. It was on sale for...

At the Checkout at a Store.....

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45939) • United States 4 Jan 07

Would you let another shopper go in front of you? I do this quite often. If the person behind you only has a few groceries and my cart is full, I will let them go ahead of me. If the person has children with them and they are...

angelashupe I've done that before, for the same reasons. Not so much the children one, though [I've got a daughter to get out asap, myself], but if they only have a few things... I tend to let them go ahead of me. The only exception would be those days when I'm in the 20...

Do you consider a White Lie to be a serious one???

ronita34 @ronita34 (3922) • Canada 21 Jan 07

Do you tell harmless little whit lies just to delay the out come of a situation?? For example i always used to use a whilte lie to cover stuff up with my mom and then spill the beans when we were alone and it would be easier to...

angelashupe Depends on what you consider a white lie. A true white lie can sometimes be a good thing. So, yes, I think white lies can be harmless. As long as you don't turn your white lies into big ones, atleast.

Do you collect shells when you go to the beach?

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45939) • United States 19 Jan 07

Whenever we go to the beach I scan the shores and water for shells. I love sand dollars and have many of them adorning my shelves in my home. I also collect unique shells and rocks too.

angelashupe I used to, a long time ago. But I haven't gone to the beach in ages. A couple years ago, I went to the lake near where I live [it's just down the road, actually], and I caught a little snail. I put sand and shells at the bottom of a fish bowl filled with...

Man arrested for stealing woman's underwear - news story ^_^

shywolf @shywolf (4514) • United States 14 Jan 07

A woman in Fort Payne, Alabama had hung some of her undergarments outside to dry when several items of clothing, including four pairs of underwear and some bras, were stolen from her line. Joseph Edward Reaves, 44, has...

angelashupe That's just weird. It also makes me wonder what he did with the old ones that made the need for him to buy her new ones, instead of giving her back what he took. This makes me thankful that I don't hang my stuff outside to dry.

My daughter was told she was too fat to be promoted

suedarr @suedarr (2382) • Canada 12 Feb 07

This weekend my 20 year old daughter came over for a visit and told me something that got my blood boiling. She works for the male dominated construction industry as an executive assistant. Recently she has been taking sales...

angelashupe I think that's a form of harassment, and she could report him for it. If someone said that to my child, I'd want to throw them through a window as well. If someone said that to me... I would probably tell them where to stick the job and quit. But I am fat, so...

Why the "report and ignore" method is so important with internet trolls

blueskies @blueskies (1186) • United States 12 Feb 07

In Internet terminology, a troll is a person who enters an established community such as an online discussion forum and intentionally tries to cause disruption, often in the form of posting messages that are inflammatory,...

angelashupe I completely agree! Those are some very good points that I follow as well. Actually, I reported a troll yesterday and left it at that. Their's no point in reacting for the exact reasons you stated.

angelashupe Great discussion! And you have some very valid points! In a nice little jest at myself... if someone told me I'm a "fatty" that needs wiped off the face of the planet, I could always just smother them to death by sitting on them. After all, I am a "fatty"....

Is jail time for five minutes a day acceptable?

shywolf @shywolf (4514) • United States 11 Feb 07

angelashupe It sounds much like probation. As I see it, unless the person was given probation - I don't see why they should be treated like they are on it. If someone is supposed to be in jail, then they should be in jail. In my town, if you go to jail you have to pay...

Good Manners

angelashupe I have to agree with your feelings on that. If a stranger tries to hug me, I get uncomfortable. If a stranger ever tried to kiss me, I would probably be very put off. If it's a friend, I'll hug them. Kiss them, probably not. I leave the kissing for my...
