I asked my cousin to pick me up a Sweet Potato Pie and Pumpkin Pie and she actually..

[TVFactFan]

Bought both PIES from a SUPERMARKET?????????????????????????


I thought she had enough sense to buy it from a BAKERY!!!!!! Who the hell eats a Pie out the Supermarket?-lol


I think her feekings were hurt but I don't care because all pies/cakes should come from a bakery. Anyone disagree?

[Janice]

The baked goods from the grocery store where I shop are actually better than most bakery goods. It's called Super Stop & Shop, and they have an entire bakery department. It's a full bakery.

What did you say to your cousin, Solomon? :lol:

[Stuck In The '70's]

The pies we had for Thanksgiving today all came from a Supermarket. :lol:

[Mikado]

Well, as they say, If you want something done right , do it yourself.....Anyway, if you wanted them from a bakery, you should have specified, besides, SHE was doing YOU a favour...so, unless you specified "Bakery", you really owe her an apology

I said I didn't like it. And when she asked was I going to take the pie home I said NO. I like pies from a Bakery

Really?-lol I'm so sorry to hear that sonny

[catlover79]

:rofl: Solomon, you are too much!!

[Brieannas21]

She didn't have to bring you anything. She was kind enough to even take her personal time to buy the pies.

[PlayOn]

My mom and her sisters all cooked their pies from scratch last night for today so I agree with person who said, want something done, do it yourself. I don't trust people who cook my food anyways unless I watch them. Anybody seen 'Waiting...'?:eek::eek:

[Dean Winchester]

She didn't have to bring you anything. She was kind enough to even take her personal time to buy the pies.
I agree. There's no reason to be an ingrate

[Ireneparalegal]

What the hell is the difference? :crazy:

My youngest daughter works at a grocery store and they have a bakery in the store where they make cakes, breads, etc. As a matter of fact, the bakery lady made me a special birthday cake for my son. He loves whales and she made a beautiful birthday cake for him with an Orca on the cake. She did a masterful job. I tipped her very well. She did it for me because I wanted a special design, not the ones they offer. The three bakers go to work at 2 a.m. to start baking the pies, cakes, breads and all the other things. The hot, fresh bread is deeeeeeeelicious. Can't get it any fresher than that. Most grocery stores have bakery sections.

Besides, do you know how hard it is to even find a pie ON THANKSGIVING DAY!!!??? :crazy:

[TVFactFan]

She didn't have to bring you anything. She was kind enough to even take her personal time to buy the pies.



But she been knowing me long enough to know that I don't eat pies with a BRAND NAME on the box. I want the Box to be BLANK, no names.

That pie had a "SHOP RITE" on the box and I knew I wouldn't like it. The best pies have nothing on the box

I am sick of people being ingrateful. When I was a teenager I used to be a huge one, but the older I've gotten, I've realized there's no point in acting like a spoiled brat. If someone is nice enough to do something nice for you, be thankful for it. Today was Thanksgiving for crying out loud.

[Ireneparalegal]

I asked her on Monday
Still, what the hell is the difference? I can see Solomon with that mouth of yours, the way you speak to your family, you won't ever get a lady to put up with you very long. IT IS NOT WHAT YOU SAY, BUT HOW YOU SAY IT.

If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything.

If you wanted something done right, DO IT YOURSELF.

Well see the pie I really wanted was at a bakery in the HIGH CRIME section of the city and I didn't want to have anything happen to me just to get a pie so I never went. But I will make sure I go there for Christmas, I can't take it anymore-lol

Do you expect your cousin to have gone to that bakery in the high crime area instead? :eek:

[EmoJoe]

they bake the pies fresh at the supermarkets anyway....

[Brieannas21]

Why didn't you buy your own pies?

[TVFactFan]

Do you expect your cousin to have gone to that bakery in the high crime area instead? :eek:


No she didn't have to go to that one, just any bakery period like she used to do for the past 8 years. I don't know what was on her mind this year. I was very disappointed in her today

Maybe she HAS A LIFE and didn't have the time to get them early AS YOU WANTED. There were people shopping at the last minute. They work, they have busy schedules, they don't have time, etc. My God, if she bought pies at the bakery for the last 8 years and this time she bought the "wrong ones" give her a break. You are chastising her for a one-time thing? :confused: You act like she burned you or something. And then you had the audacity to be rude to her? And you think her feelings were hurt? I AM POSITIVE SHE WAS HURT!

[Brieannas21]

I should have

Then I don't see why you're complaining.

I was NASTY, I just said I didn't like it-lol Was I supposed to lie? She also bought a CHEESE CAKE from the same Market and it tasted like SH*T-lol Now that was a cheese cake she had already planned on buying but it was he WORST i have ever tasted.

[TVFactFan]

Then I don't see why you're complaining.


I'm complaining because I thought she what kind of pies I liked. As much as I talk about PIES from a Bakery she should have not walked in there with a Supermarket pie

you should apologize to her. When you treat people like ****, it comes back to you in the long run. Even if the food wasn't good, it was the fault that counts. And don't complain next year when she doesn't bring a thing over.

Next I will be ready

[Max Whittaker]

If I didn't like it I would simply thank her. The look on my face would certainly show her I was not pleased, but there's never any excuse to be rude. Thanking her is not dishonest.

Well, at least you both learned something from the experience. You've learned to do your own shopping. She's learned never to do you any favors.

[catlover79]

I think the proper phrase here is "don't look a gift horse in the mouth". I'm sorry it all turned out the way it did.

[Janice]

I will say that if your cousin knows that you hate pies from the grocery store and still bought them there, it changes things. If that's the case (is it?), she should have told you that she didn't want to get the pies at the bakery. That way, you could have picked the pies up yourself, at the bakery.

Actually I think she thought I only disliked a brand called-"ENTMANN"S" and thought she was doing something when she bought ANOTHER brand. I should have told her I don' like BRAND NAME pies. So I take some of the blame

I have simple tastes--I like Entenman's--but from a bakery would likely be better. But then I'm not a big sweets person. Salty munchies like Doritos are my thing.
If only pies from a bakery make you happy, then let the person know to get them from a bakery...and if
this turns out to be too inconvenient for them--then getting the pies would have to be done by you.

ENTEMANN"S IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST PIE IN AMERICA. It makes me PUKE. And I told her get me a pie as long as it's not ENTEMANN"S and she got another brand name pie but I should have said something.

I'm with you on Entenmann's pies. Never, although I like their cinnamon rolls. Chalk it up to a misunderstanding, and like you said, get the pies yourself at Christmas. Since you're paying for them, you should get what you want, and I wouldn't like paying for something that I hate eating, but it's your responsibility.

No wonder she was confused. When you say brand name, do you mean along the lines of Entenmann's? The real bakery products at my grocery store, the ones baked in the store, they come in bakery boxes.

I don't know if they're the worst--I think I'd give that accolade to Little Debbie-- but I'm CERTAIN that something out of a baker's oven WOULD be better. But I have to be honest, Entemann's tastes fine to me, nothing spectacular, but perfectly adequate.

We all have different taste buds, and when it comes to sweets I'm the first to admit I don't have a refined palate.

Yeah most pies in a supermarket are baked in store fresh that day...so there is no difference! :lol: :lol:

Reading thru this thread this sounds like a script from a Thanksgiving episode of Sanford & Son!!! :lol:

Watch out next year if you ask someone to pick up a pie for you. If it were me, I buy the lousiest pie I could find at the supermarket and then put it in a "blank bakery box" and bring it. I'll bet you'd find you liked it! ;) :p

You probaby didn't specify where to buy it from. I bought two sweet potatoe pies from Wal Mart because my mother didn't feel like making desserts. Anyway, the pies from Walmart was pretty good to me! You are such a sour puss!

[GARFIELDKOOL]

Nice??? I reimbursed her and didn't like the PIE

You are going to have some bad luck just for that!

He hates the pies. Is he supposed to eat something he hates or pretend otherwise? That's a surefire way for him to always get the pies he hates. I know on holidays that I look forward to certain desserts that I only get a couple of times a year, and I'd be disappointed if it turned out to be something I hated.

I don't think anyone did anything wrong. His cousin was nice to pick up the pies. Solomon was nice to pay for them. I'm sure had his cousin known that he hated those pies, she wouldn't gone to a bakery. Whatever, the guy has a right to vent about being disappointed about something, without being called names.

Solomon, she brought pies from a bakery for 8 years in a row until yesterday. I am sure she would have bought them from the bakery AGAIN had she known how disgusted you were with those pies. It's all abt communication. I hope you make things clear the first time around when you are picky abt certain things. Did you ask her why she bought those pies? Did she offer an explanation? Or did you just make your comments to her? You admitted she looked liked her feelings were hurt. I am sure she was. Not a reason to be like that towards her, not worth it. You brought this to our attention because obviously it bothered you. Seems we see it differently. But that is how you are and we are the way we are. I am grateful if someone does something for me and if I am waaay to picky abt something, I BUY IT MYSELF.;) Hope you learned a lesson.

Be like what to her? All he did was tell her he didn't like the pies. He's chatting with us here, not her. If you hated the pies someone picked up for you, I'm sure you would be disappointed as well. It's only natural.

Well, if Solomon would give all the facts in his first post, it would be nice. ;)

As for how he treated his cousin, Solomon admitted he must have hurt her feelings. That means he said something that bothered her. He also stated he wasn't going to take the pie home. Being gracious, he could have just been a nice guy and make sure the following Thanksgiving HE BUY THE PIES. Solomon was so sure she was going to buy the pies HE WANTED since she had done so 8 years in a row. I don't know what her explanation was for buying the ones she did. Was the bakery out of pies? Did she have a busy week and wasn't able to get to the bakery? Did she forget? Maybe she didn't have the money to buy bakery pies. Only she knows. Maybe Solomon knows.

Her feelings were hurt because he told her he didn't like the pies. There's nothing wrong with telling someone that, and maybe she's too sensitive. I'm sure he wasn't mean about it. Solomon probably eats most of the pies anyway, so even if he didn't tell her, she would have known when he wasn't eating any pie. It would have been weird taking home pies that he hates too. Money wasn't the issue as Solomon paid for the pies. I still say nobody did anything wrong here.

You make a very good point. I probably wouldn't have said anything to her but I sure wouldn't have sat there and ate something I didn't like. She would have figured it out anyhow. She probably would have seen the disappointment on his face as well. When you're expecting something and get something else, it's only natural.

Especially when it comes to food. My friend brought food over last year. She said she was going to stop at Boston Market for chicken dinners. At the last minute she changed her mind and bought KFC, with the skin on the chicken. If I eat that, I will literally throw up. I felt like crying because I was really hungry. I had to tell her. I wasn't mean about it, but I couldn't eat it. Sometimes you have no other choice than to tell a person. I could tell my friend felt bad, but what was I to do. It was nobody's fault really. Actually, I remember thinking that she should have called me and asked if I liked KFC. Same with coconut for me. I can't eat it. We all hate certain foods.

I am sure you were nice abt it Janice. I highly doubt Solomon was. I am simply going by how he interacts with posters here and how he has mentioned in the recent past abt how he talks to his own mother. Something abt laundry and how rude he was talking to his mom abt something so trivial. So, going by his history, I am sure he was just as rude to his cousin, since he was so rude to his mom. I can bet he was rude and sarcastic.

I am simply going by how he interacts with posters here and how he has mentioned in the recent past abt how he talks to his own mother. Something abt laundry and how rude he was talking to his mom abt something so trivial. So, going by his history, I am sure he was just as rude to his cousin, since he was so rude to his mom. I can bet he was rude and sarcastic.
Many members complain about their parents, friends, bosses, you name it. I've seen your behavior towards other posters on the boards, and it's not always so great. That's not the point though.

Solomon, were you rude or sarcastic to your cousin?

[TVFactFan]

I think it's a riot that people are getting so upset because Solomon didn't like the pies. :lol: He didn't yell at his cousin. He just told her he didn't like that kind of pie. What's wrong with that? She would have known anyway when he wasn't eating them. With most families, people are usually in charge of bringing something. So, Solomon made an arrangement with his cousin that she would bring the pies, and he would pay for them. She didn't know he only liked pies from the bakery.

He hates the pies. Is he supposed to eat something he hates or pretend otherwise? That's a surefire way for him to always get the pies he hates. I know on holidays that I look forward to certain desserts that I only get a couple of times a year, and I'd be disappointed if it turned out to be something I hated.

I don't think anyone did anything wrong. His cousin was nice to pick up the pies. Solomon was nice to pay for them. I'm sure had his cousin known that he hated those pies, she wouldn't gone to a bakery. Whatever, the guy has a right to vent about being disappointed about something, without being called names.



Thanks Janice

No I was never rude, I guess she thought she was doing something which led to her feelings being hurt

[Brian Damage]

I really don't think there is anything wrong with expressing your disappointment with the pies. My wife went out and baked the pies that my parents wanted for Thanksgiving. I think it is better to be honest with a person than sit there and be miserable.

[Ireneparalegal]

No I was never rude, I guess she thought she was doing something which led to her feelings being hurt
Yeah, you led her to believe she was wrong for buying store bought pies! :lol: She did nothing wrong. You made her feel as if she did. You made a thread abt it which tells us how much it bothered you, so I can only guess you made it clear to her how much you hated her store bought pies. It didn't kill you, you aren't allergic to them, you just didn't like them. Be nice abt it and say what you have to say, but I can only imagine what you said to her. :crazy:

[PZelda]

Still, what the hell is the difference? I can see Solomon with that mouth of yours, the way you speak to your family, you won't ever get a lady to put up with you very long. IT IS NOT WHAT YOU SAY, BUT HOW YOU SAY IT.

If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything.

If you wanted something done right, DO IT YOURSELF.

:crazy: :lol:
I agree. Way to be extremely ungrateful. Solomon, you're 32 YEARS old and you're acting like you're 14. Perhaps it's time to grow up and stop complaining about stupid things like the cost of chapstick -- which should only be significant if the tube only lasted you one day -- and exactly where a pie has to come from? My god, I hear TEENAGERS complain about things like that. The only ADULT I know who complains about stuff like that is YOU. Which says a lot.

Now you're calling him a liar. He said he wasn't mean to her. His big crime here is telling her he didn't like the pies. As for him making a thread, that's what Chit Chat is about, to vent, chat and analyze anything and everything. As you say on the sitcom boards, people can talk about anything, no matter how trivial it may seem to others. Same applies at Chit Chat.

I never called him a liar. I said I can only imagine what he said to her. He may think it wasn't rude, but it can be construed as rude in his cousin's eyes. Why else would she be hurt? He admitted she was hurt. Her feelings are more important than his bakery pies. If he said to her, "Hey cuz, I am sorry, I can't eat those pies. Thank you for bringing them though" THEN, there wouldn't be an issue. I don't expect him to eat something he hates or to pretend to like something. I believe he really was upset at the thought of pies being from the grocery store. I have yet to get an answer as to her reason for buying them from the grocery store as opposed to the bakery. DID SHE GIVE A REASON?

He said he wasn't rude to her, and you're stating otherwise. My friend who brought the KFC, her feelings were hurt, or she felt bad or whatever.

Solomon, once and for all, what exactly did you say to your cousin regarding the pies?

[TVFactFan]

Yeah, you led her to believe she was wrong for buying store bought pies! :lol: She did nothing wrong. You made her feel as if she did.

You out of all people should know not to take my threads that seriously. It was a thread about me being disappointed because of not having a bakery pie. I never said I went to her and said"THIS IS A NASTY A$$ PIE" It was just me not SAYING THAT MUCH ABOUT THE PIE and more about my actions of not going back for a second piece of pie and it looked like her feelings were hurt.

[Ireneparalegal]

I am curious as to WHY SHE BOUGHT THOSE PIES AT THE GROCERY STORE since Solomon said she bought them for 8 years in a row at the bakery.

[TVFactFan]

I agree. Way to be extremely ungrateful. Solomon, you're 32 YEARS old and you're acting like you're 14.

That's right, and it's not beneath me to eat something good and ready made from Walmart. You are coming across as snobby now.

Only thing that makes me upset is that he became ingrateful to his cousin. he made it seem like he didn't appreciate her efforts. All he had to do was specify that he wanted them from a bakery. i grew up poor and I remember one Thanksgiving, we didn't have anything to eat except spaghetti from a can. So what if they are supermarket pies?! they aren't going to kill anyone. I ate supermarket pies yesterday. They tasted damn good. There are less fortunate people out there for the hoildays, and I was on that side of the fence. I know people who would have ate second hand pies from churches.

The Chapstick thread sparked a discussion on inflation. Members seemed to enjoy the discussion. Solomon makes threads about small issues, and most members participate. Those who don't enjoy his topics, don't join in.

[Pus$y Galore]

This is a riot! I've been rereading this thread every few posts and it's amazing how people can get their skivvies in a knot over this thread!!! :lol:

I swear when it was first posted I could tell immediately it was one of Solomon's usual goofy threads about the most inane subject!! THINK ABOUT IT PEOPLE - it's just a couple of pies - not nuclear war!

Obviously the Politics board and news events are pretty quiet at the moment to get into this much of a debate about Thanksgiving pies. :lol:

(I'm seeing the humour in all posts too - Solomon's initial one, and then people scolding him for being rude and then going at each other for scolding him, going at each other about how they interpreted the last post, etc. - it's hilarious if you stand back and think about it!!)

I'll now go back to my fish strips and Sara Lee FROZEN cake whilst wearing my overpriced Chapstick.....;)

That! is why I feel you probably were rude to your cousin. You are getting upset over a thread, so I can imagine you were upset over those pies.

It is not abt getting upset Solomon, I am simply wondering if you really were THAT upset abt the pies or did your cousin really not try to get the bakery ones. You never answer that question abt why she didn't get the bakery ones.

I've stated my reasons on why I don't think anyone did anything wrong. He doesn't like the pies. The fact that you or anyone has had tough holidays is another issue. Solomon was simply venting here about his disappointment. He was looking forward to his favorite pies, and instead he got something he couldn't eat. It's natural to feel disappointment. I don't know why people have to go wild because of his thread. I think it's partly because it's Solomon. If you, me, Brian, Sonny or someone else stated the same thing, there would be no attacks or namecalling.

Exactly abt Solomon looking forward to bakery pies. DID HE ASK HER WHY SHE BOUGHT GROCERY STORE PIES????? Solomon, you are killing me here, surely you asked her why she bought those!!!!!:lol:

I told her to get the pies, what I expected was a pie in a blank white box, so on the table I didn't notice anything that looked like that so I just never ate any pie. Thinking she FORGOT. So when she keep asking me I was like-"OH she bought the Shop Rite Pie" and I ate one slice and never went back. The reason I think her feelings were hurt was because she knows I will EAT A WHOLE PIE IN ONE DAY and since I ate no more pie and said-"I"M TRYING TO GET THIN" I think she knew I was lying

Like I said, all he had to do was tell his cousin to get them from a bakery. If someone told me to go and get them some pies without specifying, most pople would assume the supermarket especially when most bakeries in my area are closed around 5pm. And I assme this was done in the late afternoon or evening.

You have that one backwards, Irene. Others got upset over his thread. The namecalling started almost immediately. Did you miss those insults? Solomon lets one loose a day later, and you pick right up on it.

I think because of where she is living now, the bakery is no where near her new house. So since I know that I will just get them myself next year

That makes sense. It was probably out of the way for her. I guess she never caught on to your preference of bakery pies. But you made a point, you are on a diet so maybe having only one slice was the best thing for you. Once you get used to limiting those sweets, you will feel a whole lot better abt yourself. I think you missed the opportunity to tell her how you have always preferred the bakery pies she bought. Something like this:

"Ohhh, you didn't buy the pies from the bakery? Oh man, those pies you bring from (insert bakery name here) are so damn good."

She must have assumed that you would eat just any pie. Let her know that Solomon.

He did underexplain it. On purpose, no doubt, lol. Solomon is a brat. :p I guess with family, we can get away with that sort of stuff, to a certain degree. God, I never lived this one down. I was in my mid-30s, and my parents used to have my husband and I over for dinner on the first Thursday of every month. My Dad would go to the butcher shop and buy sirloin roasts, steaks, pork roasts, or she would make a big Italian dinner with Chicken parm, Chicken cacciatore, eggplant, that sort of stuff.

I was on the phone talking with her and saying that we'll see you on Thursday for dinner, and I asked what she was cooking. She told me broiled chicken breasts. I told her, "Come on Mom, I make that at home all the time. I don't want to travel 40 minutes for that."

:lol: Talk about a spoiled brat. My Mom was so cool about it. "Okay, Queenie, I'll send Dad out for steaks."

I know. I know how hard it is for you to remember those good times and how much you miss them. :( Just remember, so many people have family they can't stand or don't care and love them as they should. We have read too many posts here of fellow members who have it bad. You and I were extremely blessed to have what we had. I hope many others will be thankful for their families, and not just during holiday time. ;)

[OH Nuts!]

Especially when it comes to food. My friend brought food over last year. She said she was going to stop at Boston Market for chicken dinners. At the last minute she changed her mind and bought KFC, with the skin on the chicken. If I eat that, I will literally throw up. I felt like crying because I was really hungry. I had to tell her. I wasn't mean about it, but I couldn't eat it. Sometimes you have no other choice than to tell a person. I could tell my friend felt bad, but what was I to do. It was nobody's fault really. Actually, I remember thinking that she should have called me and asked if I liked KFC. Same with coconut for me. I can't eat it. We all hate certain foods.

Well, if I understand correctly your friend said she was going to do A but did B. So I don't think you should feel any guilt/ill feelings (if you do) abt voicing your reaction. KFC chicken probably has a lot more fat and salt than Boston Market--and many people can't have or are sensitive to foods high in fat and or salt.

I think she should have called you abt this chg too, IMO it was a BIG change.

I agree. My younger sister is so ungrateful. It makes me sick. She doesn't appreciate anything that others do for her. My mother spent hours making a nice Thanksgiving meal and all my sister could do is complain. Nothing is ever perfect or good enough for her. If my mother makes something she doesn't want she expects her to make her something else. Or if she wants something, but my mother doesn't feel like making it, my sister will INSIST that my mother make it for her. If it's not made the way she wants it she throws a fit. It's ridiculous. My brother and I would have never gotten away with that when we were growing up. We were expected to eat what she made and be thankful for it. We knew better than acting the way my sister does.

My experience is people who tend to behave this way end up alone. My reaction to people who are ungrateful is next time to give them nothing, or not encourage their attendance. Unfortunately, with people such as your sister, it can come down to having a confrontation: You don't like what I made, then get your a** away from the table and go to McDonald's for all I care. And no, I'm not going to make something else, I'm not a maid.

I think it's disgusting to complain abt someone's hard and thoughtful efforts--it really gets my dander up.

If you're referring to Solomon, you are aware that he didn't pitch a fit and wasn't rude. He just didn't eat the pie because he hates it. When his cousin who got the pies kept asking why, he tried to eat a slice. His behavior was nothing as Jenny described her sister's. I'm not sure if you're referring to Jenny or Solomon's story, or both, so I just wanted to clarify that.

[Janice]

i grew up poor and I remember one Thanksgiving, we didn't have anything to eat except spaghetti from a can.
I'm sorry GARFIELD, I didn't give this comment the reply it deserved. I'm very sorry that you had to go through that, as a young boy too. It's heartbreaking. From what I've read of your posts, you have prevailed and made something of yourself by working hard and pushing on. You should be proud, and I'm sure your loved ones are proud of you, as well. :)

Rich was referring to Jenny's sister.

Thanks Janice, and life is a struggle. I was personally offended because it was food, and that one Thanksgiving, I would have killed to have pies from ANYWHERE! And Solomon was being real picky. I know it was all about his preference, but the supermarket pies weren't any less poison than bakery pies.

I know you had it bad growing up. I applaud you for making it through those tough times and not forgetting those bad times. I got what you meant when you found it offensive to be upset over store bought pies. I guess until you have had it bad, have been poor, not had everything, you will find people who take things for granted rather than appreciate what they have or are given.

Oh yeah, we ate out the church one Christmas because we were evicted in December of 1985 and they gave us second hand gifts. I don't look down on no one and I don't take things for granted.

I hear that! I have mentioned it many times here on the board how bad it was for me after I hurt my back at work and dealing with a nasty divorce. I felt guilty and bad for my kids. I look back and never want to ever be financially strapped again. Although I grew up with a great family and never was without anything, the experience I endured as an adult and having it bad reminds you of just how blessed you are when things go great!

Amen! It's like this, I am all for people living comfortable and never have to worry about anything, but I feel most people should experience being on that other side of the fence, not just financially, but other means of being down and out like you said your divorce. We all have had set backs at one time or another.

I always tried to help those who were less fortunate, but now, I do it more so than ever, simply because I am blessed to be able to do so and give $$$ to those who need it and I don't miss it at all. I also donate time and other things to those who need it. It makes me feel good and I feel like God put me in a situation to be able to help others. For example, if a woman is in a domestic violent situation, I won't charge her for helping her do a restraining order and getting all the necessary paperwork she needs to get it done. I have even taken a woman to the courthouse because she didn't have a ride.

I'm glad you asked. I am not referring to Solomon at all. Sitting down to a dinner, and complaining about someone's hard efforts, which probably took several hours is, to me, very different than expressing disappointment that one particular item did not materialize at a holiday meal, especially when there was enough prior history/information to have avoided it.

Again thanks for asking for clarification. Without it, misunderstandings could have developed and I would have hated to see that happen.

No offense Irene, but that was a direct comment to Rich, who can and did answer for himself.

Thanks Rich. I figured that. I know you, of all people don't take shots at people.

[OH Nuts!]

I absolutely hate to take shots at people, all that does is create a hostile environment where people go at each other tit for tat--taking the level of civility on the bd to a low and septic level. I've witnessed two people going at it on a bd and it isn't pretty--almost like a grotesque cyber version of the Jerry Springer show.


There is no losing face when parties can agree to disagree. And sometimes you end up learning something from an opposing opinion that modifies your view.

What beautiful sentiments. I'm also grateful for the bounty in my life and try to help others as much as I can too.

Little Debbie is garbage. I'm not too fussy, but you need a gallon of milk to wash one of those Debbie deals down, lol.


Hi Janice. this is in response to your post which was way back in this thread. I couldn't resist being playful (& fictitious) so here goes:

Research on Little Debbie's reveals that the secret ingredient in their stuff is chalk :lol: LOL

Also, the dairy industry sends honorariums to LD as LD boosts milk drinking about 300%. The cows, however, are having cows as they're not to happy over the extra work. :lol:

(IMO, next to Little Debbie's, Entemen's is gourmet dining.)

Little Debbie items do seem rather stiff. And like Janice said, you need a whole gallon of milk to help them go down your throat. :crazy: :lol: I guess Little Debbie won't ask us anytime soon to be their spokespersons. :lol:
