The Last Word

Whimpering can also be a last word. Muttering under the breath too.

@vandana7 Vanny

@RebeccasFarm As I like to say, "People are neat." lol

Haha, this made me laugh for some reason, Yes, you can have the last word. Buy all the last words you can, and send the bill to Pony. He's very wealthy from all that myLot money he's making.

I want the last word. How expensive is it? I will make Pony foot the bill. @vandana7 I would presume the last word is very expensive and Pony would likely never pay. lol

@porwest But why restrain yourself? You should have let it all out as loudly as you could!

That being said, I have to admit in a last ditch effort I often do what Vanny suggested and just mutter something under my breath as I walk away. It's not an official last word, but in my mind I still win the prize. lol. I often also give a wave of my hand as I walk away and mutter something. At the end of the day I am kind of like you ultimately, though. I really don't care that much about it. Most of the time I walk away feeling like the other side is simply stupid, and while I feel bad for a stupid guy who doesn't know any better, at least I know I am smarter and win in other ways. There WAS a guy once who used my own approach, turned, waved his hand at me, muttered something under his breath and then walked into the doorframe. I cringed and said, "Ouch," and for whatever that was worth, I felt like that was the last word. lol

@moffittjc It was difficult restraint, let me tell you. lol

@porwest exactly

At the end of the day you have to do what you have to do. lol

Most women do, don't they? After so many years we men know a thing or two about when is a good time to shut up. We don't always get it right of course. But we try very hard. lol

@porwest My husband hasn't learned the fine points of an argument yet. After 50+ years he still hasn't got it right.

@LindaOHio Some of us, I will admit, are slow learners. I have the bruises to prove it. lol

@porwest Yes, best to cite facts in a debate although some are so gaslighted by the media and administration they won't believe it is true. Name calling does no good. If they start doing that, or continue on with the same mindless points, it's time to move on.

@dgobucks226 The key for me is to never rely on one source. I think that is where most people go wrong. And when I talk about bills...I actually read the bill. But I am weird like that. I like to know what I am talking about. lol

I always try to stay within fact based commentary and argument. And I definitely avoid name calling. Doesn't always work to effectively get the point across though. lol

This is also a funny one to me, because the person who claims the other guy knows everything makes this claim with the direct idea that THEY already know everything the other guy apparently doesn't, and then conflate lecturing with the other guy explaining why they know what they know is right after THEY have been lectured by the other one as to why they are apparently wrong. Like I said, life is full of irony. lol

@porwest Two days ago, my brother who has only called me once since I got ill, told me how long should I excercise now that I´m better. I had to reply that if I had lived ALONE for 22 years, I know what to do. He lives 2 houses away from mine, but we don´t see each other more that once every 2 or 3 years

Ooh, that "whatever" thing gets under my skin. Good point.

@porwest I agree to that.

More people need to admit this than do. lol

I never repent. But then, I am an atheist. lol

Most women, at least in marriages, tend to get the last word. Men's lives matter. lol
