The last time someone annoyed me that way (a very good friend, actually) I threw a Bitchism at her. All she could complain about was that the car she and her DH were looking to buy didn't have cup holders and OMG, they couldn't buy the car if it didn't have THOSE! So, I looked at her as straight faced as I could and said, "So what you're saying is that your diamond shoes are too tight." She looked at me for a second and then started just laughing like a loon. Now, whenever one of us pulls a first world bitch we use the phrase "cupholder" to pull ourselves out.

Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I would just not listen. Otherwise it gets into "you have no right to have problems" territory, which is a slippery slope. It would be like a single friend telling you you have no right to complain about Em keeping you up at night, since at least you HAVE a husband and a baby and she doesn't.
You can roll your eyes forever on the inside, though.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
You can roll your eyes forever on the inside, though.This gets me through work a lot of days. IJS.
My alarm went off this morning and the kittenish crawled on top of me as if to stop me from getting up. She thinks she is a mighty beast. Though I did hit the snooze so her cunning flop on me plan worked.

I like you, Oliver! t /silly mid-80s MTV reference nobody gets
That's a toughie, Aimee. Cause I'd be tempted to say, "Hey, you could cut the champagne fountain and flowers and pay for your inspection and clothing and food for people who've lost their homes and jobs! Or you could just find a more sympathetic ear. Either way." Only I wouldn't, of course. I'd just roll my eyes on the inside.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

One of these days, they are gonna get stuck there.

I like you too!
We should do something at some point in the future.

move out and draw fire
It was a very long night. The fever got up to 102. There was more thowing up.
Could've been food poisoning also. Hope you feel better, whatever it was!
It's massively thunderstorming here - really cool! We just made it back from the reception before the heavens parted. I am wiped, after guest and baby and driving all over the peninsula and socializing, but R is somehow bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
The guest really worked me over today also, checking my knowledge of Shakespeare, Kipling, Ben Johnson, Thornton Wilder, Oscar Wilde, P.G. Wodehouse, hymns, etc. I guess an Oxford don never really retires. I hope I got passing marks.

It's massively thunderstorming here - really cool!We had this Monday but without much rain. It was amazing to watch the lightening flashing all around. I would have liked more rain though.
I envy your day, beth.
I also really want lunch now. But I don't know what I want. And, yes, TheWhatIWantForLunch and the WhatIHadForLunch conversations are typically Natterific but I'm not over there today.
