Juliana, I'm so sorry for your loss. Many condolences on the passing of your grandfather, and love and peace to you and yours.

Sparky, that's disgusting. What an insensitive ass.

Shir, I think everyone else has given good advice, so I will just wish you luck in dealing with the insensitivity.

What's up with insensitivity today? Seriously, people, it's not that hard! At the least, when someone has told you that you are being insensitive, apologize sincerely!

And now I'm going to go and KICK that chick's ASS. Where is she, Sparky? I'm puttin' the hurt on her.

Loves Trudy's attitude

Shir, I think everyone else has given good advice, so I will just wish you luck in dealing with the insanity.

Thanks. It's a good thing that I hate lack of sleep just a little bit more than certain kinds of confrontations.

Where is she, Sparky? I'm puttin' the hurt on her.

She's a 60+ year old woman, and she's known for telling these kinds of stories whenever there is something health/medical. Which is why I cut her off and told her I didn't want to hear it.

I very calmly told her that I appreciated the apology, but I'd thought I'd made myself very clear with regard to her story and if I didn't then I was doing so now: I would not be discussing any medical issues/decisions with her - those are private and off-limits now and forever.

But I still want to throttle her.

Jesus, Sparky. What the hell is wrong with some people?

Juliana, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Sparky, both my deliveries were uneventful. I even drove myself to the office when Bobby was 7 days old because I was bored. I think some smiting is called for here.

But I still want to throttle her.

Understandable.

Oh, juliana, I am so very sorry. That is so sad. Strength and peace to you and your family.

Sparky, that's so ridiculous. Ugh. I hate those kind of people. I will add my smite to the group's.

So, I'm going to do an indoor snowball fight with the kids tomorrow. I found the idea for this game online, and they suggest using ping pong balls, but jeesh, they're expensive. So, I'm thinking of giving each kid 10 pieces of 8.5x14 paper, and have them make their own. Do we think those balls would have enough momentum for the kids to have fun? Honestly, I think they'll be less dangerous too...

Julianna, sorry for your loss.

Thank-you, Trudy & Laura for your non-evil stories of delivery.

My delivery will be what it will be. When I have questions, I won't be asking someone who I barely know and who's only experience was 35 years ago.

I'd go look for chocolate in the staff lounge, but I'd have to walk by her desk.

But I still want to throttle her.

Do it! Blame the hormones! Blame the hormones!
