I think you care about these things because it's the nice, decent thing to do. Seeing the kid outside for 90 minutes would bother me as well. I think it would bother anybody with a heart. The not waving back would bug me too, it takes no effort to be polite. My peeve for today is able bodied assholes who think it's ok to park in the only handicapped parking spot in the lot because they're "only going to be a minute" and then cuss out the person in the wheelchair who called the police on him. We saw him get out of his car (which had no sticker) and my daughter told him we needed the spot, he said he'd only be a minute and walked into the hair salon. We waited thinking maybe he was just picking up somebody in the salon and would be right back out. He wasn't so we called, as his car was being ticketed he ran out and started calling me and my daughter effing bitches because we called the cops. I just don't understand people sometimes. @bilgistic, I would do the same thing and go eat by myself. Edited to add: I understand that all handicaps aren't visible so we gave the guy the benefit of the doubt in case he did legitimately need the handicap spot.

I can't make that quote box go away. Do we talk about the new episode here? I don't see a thread for the new one. Is there somebody we can ask to make a thread for us?

I thought Kira saying she was getting something to eat when they asked where she'd been was funny, I thought it was weird that her first episode back is all about Barbara Jean being thin. I love this show, it's one of those shows that I've seen so many times that I can name the episode within ten seconds. Van is one of my all time favorite TV characters. He and Sue Heck.

I love it too. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way. @bilgistic, the daughter of a friend of mine has Chrones disease and her symptoms and food triggers sound a lot like yours. It sucks when you can no longer eat things that you love. I love spicy food, not super duper can't breathe, kind of spicy but pretty spicy. The past couple of years, every time I eat anything spicier than black pepper my stomach starts a war with me. I can't imagine not being able to eat dairy though, I love cheese way too much. My local pizza place is the only place that puts enough cheese on my pizza. I told them that when they get to the point that they thought "wow, that's too much cheese" to double that. I feel for you on the dairy thing.

I couldn't agree more. It's outrageous to me that a mom holding her child's hand as they're walking is being "disengaged". What's she supposed to be doing, stopping every two seconds to kiss and hug her? I don't see how this is Bethenny being a disengaged mom. She needs to watch where she's walking, I used to look ahead when I walked with my kids. I never knew that made me a disengaged bad mom.

Ants are the worst. I used to get them so bad when I first moved up here but for some reason they seem to have disappeared. This is the third year I haven't seen any. When I make spaghetti or lasagna sauce I simmer it all day, one year the ants were so bad that I went into the kitchen to stir my sauce and when I went back in 20 minutes later my spoon, spoon rest and cooktop were covered in the nasty little bastards.

I have no clue why the spoiler box is there. This is my Trixie girl in one of her Amazon boxes, she loves the boxes so much that I hate putting them in the recycling bin. I probably have five of them on my storage room floor and she uses every one. I've been trying and trying to post a picture of her and finally got one that fit. I have tried to post my favorite picture of her but no matter what I do it says the picture is too big. This is really getting frustrating. All of my current pictures are taken by the same device, my phone so I don't understand why one picture will post just fine but the next one is too big! I have a picture of Trixie looking out my window at a lizard on the other side of the screen and I really want to post it but no matter how much I crop and edit, it won't work.

@stewedsquash, I got it on Amazon. Just search litter boxes.

@Bastet, you are such a great mama. I've been lucky, I've always had tough, healthy cats who will eat anything put in front of them. I just bought this cat box, it's so cute. It came today and I guess Trixie likes it because she hopped in and used it as soon as I put the litter in. The litter box is tucked away upstairs so people don't really see it but with the upstairs being one big loft, I had to look at it every time I was in my bedroom. I have a corner of the loft as my pet space. I took an old computer desk and put all of the supplies on it and I use the keyboard tray to hold all of the brushes, combs and scissors. This looks cute in the corner next to the Litter Genie. You can't tell it's a cat box at all. This is from the Amazon, that's not my cat. My bratty baby is gray and white.

@MyPeopleAreNordic, she's beautiful! Thank you for sharing with us. I'm so happy for you and your family. We have a new PTV baby!!

I can't get rid of these damn quote boxes. Even though I knew it was coming "trap baby" in this case makes me laugh. They are engaged and getting married in a couple of months, they've both said they want kids as soon as possible but Chelsea still trapped him. I don't see trap in this case. And to the poster who said they wonder what Cole's parents think, speaking as someone with a grown son, I can say they're probably very happy that their son is marrying somebody he obviously adores who adores him back, somebody who is a kind, decent, good hearted person. Somebody that she knows will be a great mother to her grandchildren. So yeah, I would say Cole's parents are pretty damn happy with the women he's chosen to marry. Nobody is perfect, so she's needy and a little insecure, I have seen a lot of growth in that area and as she gets older I'm sure there will be more. She's basically a kind, nice person and that's what matters. Compare that to Jenelle announcing her third child to neglect and abuse I think Chelsea is doing pretty damn well. And not just in comparison to Jenelle, I think she's doing great period.

NO. WAY. He is not 11 months old already!! Holy cow, it seems like it was just last month that I kept checking Small Talk to see if there was any news. Damn. Happy almost first birthday big boy! And congratulations to mom for surviving the first year. My daughter just texted me that Jenelle has confirmed her pregnancy finally. I kept holding out hope that she wouldn't bring another innocent life in to the world just to ignore it. It won't be long before baby number three is being called names by boyfriend number 837. Life just isn't fair. How many couples out there who would make great parents can't have children while this dead inside creature can get pregnant with as many kids as she wants to screw up?! My son and his fiancée being two of them. They waited until they were stable financially, they bought their own home and did a lot of preparation to get ready to start a family. They are the best Auntie and Uncle and they were told it will be impossible for them to conceive. I don't want to get into a whole thing here but bullshit like this just confirms my non beliefs to me. This literally makes me sick to my stomach.

What a beautiful girl. She looks so content and comfortable. It's funny because I was just coming here specifically to ask how she's doing. I'm happy to hear that her eating has improved. My Trixie is the same way when I have company. Depending on who it is she'll either hide in her spot under the stairs where she can watch everybody and we can see her, but nobody can get to her. When my grandson comes over, she hides in her "nobody will ever find me ever" hiding place. She doesn't like anybody but me but she REALLY doesn't like my grandson. He's never been able to get within ten feet of him. My granddaughter is much more calm and quiet so she tolerates her.

@ZaldamoWilder, Damo, you can always make me chuckle! I'm mostly mad at myself for letting strangers on the internet get to me like I did. It's my fault for giving them that power. You are all so great. I'm more wary of posting stuff now but I feel like I can trust you guys.

It wasn't any of my friends. I rarely use Facebook, most of my friends on there are my kids and their friends. I was on a page for people who love their dogs but all anybody was talking about was this game. I didn't say anything insulting, I just said I didn't understand it and thought it looked crazy to see people running through stores yelling "I got one". @Sun-Bun, I'm so sorry that happened to you. People can be so cruel. I don't have any personal pictures on my Facebook. My profile picture is a picture of Kaylee. They told me Kaylee was ugly and she looked neglected, that Kaylee probably hates me as much as the rest of the world does, etc etc.

Sorry for the double post. I don't know if this is a peeve or just me being upset and pissed at myself. I hate that I allow strangers on the internet to have the power to make me feel so badly about myself that I cry. I hate myself for that. I don't do social media too often but I'm bored and was poking around on Facebook. I made a comment that I don't understand the new Pokemon game thing and think it's crazy to see grown adults running around stores to catch a Pokemon. I said that just this morning I had a strange man come up to me when I was on my porch and tell me that he thinks there's a Pokemon in my backyard. I told him it's private property and he needed to leave. These people on Facebook started calling me names, saying horrible things about me and saying that at least people are out doing something and not sitting on their ass on Facebook like me. They called me a twat and other horrible names because I didn't let a strange man in my backyard. The things they said to me were unbelievable. I was stunned. I didn't say anything bad, I didn't insult anybody, but these people, and there were quite a few of them, came at me hard and it was fast, within half an hour I had more than ten notifications. I was kind of happy at first, I can't sleep and bored and somebody else out there was awake too. I hate that I'm sitting here crying my eyes out because of it. The page I was on was a page about dogs but people were talking about the game. I don't think anybody is wrong or stupid for playing it. To each their own. I don't understand how people can be so mean to other people. I had to vent that to somebody. I can't believe I'm friggin crying over this.

@lordonia, I feel you, my refrigerator is on its last legs. It freezes stuff that shouldn't be frozen and doesn't freeze stuff that should be frozen. I had my cleaning lady vacuum the motor as that's helped in the past with other refrigerators but not this time. I hate shopping for appliances. I just can't ever seem to make a decision and when I do finally decide I second guess myself to death after buying. Frozen, thawed out Jello is pretty gross isn't it? @BookWoman56, that story is absolutely ridiculous! I thought I'd heard it all but that one takes the cake. I was told that I'll need to be on some type of pain medication probably forever. I live in fear of my Dr leaving and me having trouble with new doctors. It makes me mad that the duggie abusers have made life so hard for the people who need these medications just to be able to get up and function. I've been hurting since we got back from San Jose, I can't imagine going through this without my medicine. As soon as I found out that I'd be on the medicine long term I went to an NA meeting and got myself a sponsor. I want to make sure that I stay on the straight and narrow, I know how easy it is to fall off the rails with them. My sponsor usually only sponsors addicts so this was new to her but together we came up with our own program for it. I'm an alcoholic, I've been sober since 12/29/95 but I know I'm prone to addiction so I needed help. We're thinking of trying to get a program like this going though for people like me who need to take them and want to try to make sure they avoid addiction. She runs a lot of programs with NA.

I wish it was a game rule that anybody who calls themselves "your boy" gets an automatic nomination. None of these people are my boy but they keep telling me that they're all my boy. I posted this before reading the thread. I didn't realize that @Maverick said the same thing.

Thanks @truelovekiss, there are so many words, initials and phrases on here that I've never heard before.

What does "ship that relationship" mean? I don't know what ship means in this context.

That's how it is with me with my regular doctor. I call them in and my daughter picks them up. It's not the norm though, I've heard so many stories of people who legitimately needed the medication and we're refused.

The pain medicine situation is getting ridiculous. My daughter in-law recently broke her leg, broke an actual bone. She was given 12 norco at the hospital and told to contact her doctor to get more. She hates taking pills and those 12 norco lasted her a long time. When she called her doctor to get a refill she was lectured about addiction. This is a girl who has never had a narcotic pain medicine prescribed for her in her life, she has no history of any kind of addiction but still she was lectured for wanting to get pain medicine for a broken leg. She was in tears when she got off the phone.

Nobody here will pile up on you. I agree with everything Bastet said. This guy is abusive and you deserve better. He was abusing you, plain and simple and I'm glad he's out of your life. I know it's hard but try not to succumb to his apologies and promises to change if they come because he won't. I was both physically and emotionally abused in my marriage and in my experience, the emotional abuse was worse. The broken fingers, toes and jaw have long since healed but I can still hear those words. Get out and stay out, you don't deserve this. Vent all you want to here, we I'll never pile on and we'll never judge.

@Malia110, I remember those days well. I am so happy to have my empty nest. When I clean something now it stays clean, if I put something aside for later, it's still there when I go get it. I loved raising my kids but now I love my quiet, peaceful, clean house. In regards to prescriptions, it was a nightmare trying to get my pain medicine refills when my Dr was out on maternity leave recently. I'm in a wheelchair, when I wear shorts I have a lot of really bad, visible scars, I've never once taken more than what's prescribed to me, never once tried to get them early, in fact I usually pick them up late. The fill in doctors know my history and they know I have another major surgery coming very soon. But I'm still treated like a drug seeking addict when I call in my refills. It's the same thing when there's somebody new at my pharmacy, I'm always treated like I'm a drug addict and it really gets to me sometimes. I hate how the druggies have made it so damn hard for the people who legitimately need these medications.

What does this mean?
