swellmomma Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I've offended so many people here. It's ridiculous. I feel so bad. There was a thread of over wight people and someone said "it's not that all thin people are the enemy" and I said "they're not?". Huge mistake. I also have a tendency to say Catholic vs Christian instead of Catholic vs protestant. Not good. I'm sure I'm on a few ignore lists for that. I've offended loads of people on the hive haha, sometimes on purpose but mostly by accident and then I feel badly. Usually due to a miscommunication, like they thought I was saying something other than I was because I did not word a post right etc. It's funny irl I am thought to be wise-ish, and people come to me asking for advice etc, but on the hive I sound like a dimwit, and can't get my thoughts out on screen properly and don't use the huge vocabulary that others us etc. THat's partly why I like this thread. There is no pretension, I don't feel like I have to have 3 degrees to be part of the conversation, I'm not witty with a comeback for everything, and not that smart but ya'll seem to take me as I come, which is all anyone can hope for. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water bottle. Quinoa. Lose it app (free). YouTube videos for fitness. :D Well, my real problem was a sprained ankle two years ago, which healed okay, and then my DS walked in front of me one day about a year ago and stopped, causing me to twist the ankle again. So the regular exercise I used to get was derailed, and the high-impact of fitness videos (tried this winter) were too much for the ankle and I think I reinjured it. :( We do eat really healthy because of DS's allergies, and I really don't snack. I drink lots of water, and already cut back on my caffeine intake. Most people wouldn't look at me and say, "She's fat." I just need to get up in the mornings and go walking. Yes. But I'm usually up late since I work and during school we do schoolwork in the evenings, so I try to get as much rest as I can. But it's summer now so I have no excuse. Except that taking a shower afterwards/before work in the morning would wake up my husband who works second shift, and then he'd be grouchy all the time. But I need to do it.

I also have a tendency to say Catholic vs Christian instead of Catholic vs protestant. Not good. I'm sure I'm on a few ignore lists for that. This might be carried over from hanging out with so many Mexican immigrants in your youth (younger youth than you are now). This is how dh and his family refer to it all the time. Even the chicanos here say Catholic vs. Christian (very heavy Hispanic area). They'll ask if you are Christian or Catholic. I don't take offense, but I do remind dh that Catholic is a different brand of Christianity. He's 42 though and will probably never change, especially since just about everyone else around here speaks that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much can create other problems though. There is a very delicate balance. I'm known to say I have to look after all my wight friends.

It never dawned on me that it was offensive. My mother in law used to say "she's not catholic, she's christian" or "we aren't christian we're catholic" when company was mixed and the topic came up. I think it's regional. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My leg hair is so thin and blond that I don't shave it and no one has ever noticed. Not even my husband. I mentioned it to another woman and he was like "yes you do" and we argued about it for a few minutes until I finally pulled my pants down (in a public park no less, because I'm me and I do things like that) and he rubbed my legs and was like "see, you do shave" until he looked closer and his jaw dropped. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I'm glad. I may not believe the same things as jasper but there was no need to make a thread just to make fun of her. Heck I have had posts deleted, warning points and bannings for doing less, I make a generalized comment and get in sh*t from the mods. I did report the landing thread. So what if she sounded nuts in the vax thread when she said it, it is not right to make a thread just to make fun of her. If that's what that thread was about I'm glad I missed it. I glanced through the other, and it was getting rather heated. Back to this thread. I like this thread. I had to scold the kids today and remind them it's not a good day to try my patience when I have already told them I am irritated over other stuff. We had two history lectures today, one which they like and one which I like. I let them have theirs first and even cooked and served up lunch while theirs was playing. Then, when I could sit down and eat and watch mine, they clowned around noisily and kept distracting me from my lecture. :mad: I also vented at length here and then deleted it because it was mainly self-pitying whininess. I needed the vent, but now I need fun and silly. Time to check for new posts since my last one.
