Some people make mt head hurt just from hearing or seeing there name because I know that it is going to lead to hearing their warped sense or reality and then when I call them on things that they say that make sense to no one but them they try to make me look like the idiot. OK I am far from the smartest person but hell now I do know some things and to have someone try to force me to believe what they are saying as fact really ticks me off, especially when there is proof that what they are saying is not true or I can see that they just became confused with how to say something but do not want to admit it.....

Say ya made a mistake and that will be that ... don't lie and try to twist things!!!

How is everyones day going so far?

I understand what you mean, when you try to say things, to people and they don't want to own up to it, I know it really make your head hurt, that is because they are wrong and they don't, want to feel dumb, by saying it so they, twist things around to try and make themselves look good. sadthumbdown

Seriously though, I totally understand not wanting to be wring but when you just mix something up and it is pointed out to you how hard is it to say OOPS?

I mix up words all the time, so if I say something and it's not true, I say oh that's not what I was saying and clarify, or I admit I'm wrong. There's nothing wrong with admitting your faults, and it's alot easier in the long run. I don't understand why some people won't, but well that's just this.

It's been awhile since I've seen you online.


myLot reputation of 85/100. razcal2267 (9498)   ranked 4 out of 261 in raz  2 months ago

I am forever putting my foot in my mouth because I speak before I think and that leads to me making mistakes about who or what I am talking about. I have no problem saying so when I realize or someone questions if what I said was what I mean...


myLot reputation of 99/100. SomeCowgirl (8291)   ranked 85 out of 261 in raz  2 months ago

I've had foot in mouth syndrome before, but most of the time I try to avoid that... My foot doesn't taste very well! lol!


myLot reputation of 85/100. razcal2267 (9498)   ranked 4 out of 261 in raz  1 month ago

I dont mind puttin my foot in my mouth.... its when I cant reach my foot to do so that I will worry

Hi Raz!

What's happened to provoke you to start this I wonder doh

If I have made a mistake I would admit to it but I can't rememebr the last one so you would have to remimd me...
and then if you were right, then I would rolleyes

My day's fine so far but it's a long way to night so it's anyone's guess what the rest of it will bring.

How is yours? whistle


myLot reputation of 85/100. razcal2267 (9498)   ranked 4 out of 261 in raz  2 months ago

Well if you take a look at my friends list and see who is friends with most but I can no longer deal with you will see. You make a mistake? Is that even possible?

My day stinks (literally) I don't know what died in our backyard but sheesh the smell is just well WOW. Sad since I have a cold from hell and have not been able to smell anything the past few days


myLot reputation of 78/100. mysdianait (12185)   ranked 137 out of 261 in raz  2 months ago

I shall have to do my homework to sort that riddle out doh

So what might have died in your backyard? confused
They haven't dunped something there have ther - the victim? shocked


myLot reputation of 85/100. razcal2267 (9498)   ranked 4 out of 261 in raz  1 month ago

Not a clue what it was but the smell is gone, was by the end of that day


myLot reputation of 78/100. mysdianait (12185)   ranked 137 out of 261 in raz  1 month ago

Hope your cold cleared up too!
Or did it get worse and that's why you can't smell anything at all now? whistle


myLot reputation of 85/100. razcal2267 (9498)   ranked 4 out of 261 in raz  1 month ago

Cold is still there no worse no better and I might not be able to smell anything but I live with two other people and while they are going deaf (not that either will admit it) they can smell and would sure say something


myLot reputation of 78/100. mysdianait (12185)   ranked 137 out of 261 in raz  1 month ago

That gace me a giggle - deaf people never admit it now do they? whistlelol


myLot reputation of 85/100. razcal2267 (9498)   ranked 4 out of 261 in raz  1 month ago

No they dont but they get it when I go into their bedrooms or the livingroom and grab the remote to turn the volume down... "oh was it loud"rolleyes


myLot reputation of 78/100. mysdianait (12185)   ranked 137 out of 261 in raz  1 month ago

ROFLMAO! lollol


myLot reputation of 95/100. purplealabaster (866)  1 month ago

I think my dad is even more deaf than my mom now. My mom is legally deaf, but she can hear with hearing aides. My dad has been losing his hearing for years but won't admit it. Now, he blames all the loud T.V., radio, etc. on mom, but she says that it is too loud for her and she has to turn her hearing aide down. doh It is pretty funny sometimes and very frustrating other times when you are trying to talk to my dad, because the words that he doesn't understand he will just fill in with whatever he wants instead of asking you to repeat what you have said. That makes for some interesting dialogue let me tell you. whistle


myLot reputation of 85/100. razcal2267 (9498)   ranked 4 out of 261 in raz  1 month ago

I have an uncle that fills in the words he missed with whatever he sees fit but Ugh because it is that he turned off his hearing aide so he doesn't have to listen to my aunt but then cant turn it back on to hear the rest of us because she might catch on


myLot reputation of 95/100. purplealabaster (866)  1 month ago

LOL! That is pretty funny, Razcal. I would really hate to be in your uncle's shoes, or even in his general area, if your aunt ever does catch on to what he is doing!doh

Some people make my head hurt from trying to understand what they are saying. Then, I am not sure whether or not certain ones are serious or just joking around. I have a pretty wacky sense of humor, so I can usually tell when somebody is joking around, but there are some people that just make me say "huh?"blink

I have been wrong on here once or twice, and I do not have a problem admitting it. When I was wrong, I just admitted it, apologized, and moved on. It really isn't a big deal to be wrong - you just have to try to live and learn.

My day is good so far. The weather is nice, and I hope to take a walk in a little while to enjoy the day. I hope your day is going well, too.


myLot reputation of 85/100. razcal2267 (9498)   ranked 4 out of 261 in raz  1 month ago

If it was not gettin that someone was making a joke ok fine I am twisted and have missed many "in your face" jokes because they are just too straight forward. When I have asked more then a few times if what they meant was actually what I read or read by restating it and they say yes then WTF Ughhhhhhhh... Live and learn nothin live and stay away as best I can from the turd is more like it... speaking of which it just tryed to add me here again rolleyes....

Today is a much better day for me then the one I was having when I started this discussion, even wit the rain


myLot reputation of 95/100. purplealabaster (866)  1 month ago

Sometimes you just have to make the tough choices, and if staying as far away from them as you can is what you have to do to keep your sanity, then I hope that you are able to do it. Life is way too short to have to deal with a bunch of unnecessary stress and nonsense!

The sun is shining here finally, after a couple gray days, and it is a beautiful day in the neighborhood! I hope you are having a lovely day yourself. By the way, thank you so much for the honor of BR!


myLot reputation of 85/100. razcal2267 (9498)   ranked 4 out of 261 in raz  1 month ago

Life ISway too short to have to deal with a bunch of unnecessary stress and nonsense but I seem to be a drama magnet. My life is boring so some tell others that I have drama or try to pull me into theirs... Thanks but no thanks I like boring!!!


Sun is shining here also and I get to go outside and enjoy it in just a few. w00t

Yeah part of my job is to fix people's mistakes and GENERALLY people are supposed to fess up and tell someone. BUT alot of times we happen to stroll upon something horribly terrible that happened and fix it before it gets even worse. People need to learn it's not that bad fessing up and it generally makes you feel better.*Sigh*

Some people are just too clueless while others dont want to see that they arent perfect. Oh well

I feel that way too about some people. It's like come on, thats not the way it is! But 99% of the time there is no way to change this persons opinion or outlook. When people try to tell me I am wrong I have ALOT of trouble admitting it, usually because I feel I am right a majority of the time. When I am wrong I get embarassed. Although I don't feel that my outlooks and opinions are senseless....hopefully others feel that way too!


myLot reputation of 85/100. razcal2267 (9498)   ranked 4 out of 261 in raz  1 month ago

No there usually isn't any way to make them see things clearly. I guess it is my mistake for saying tat and then telling them I refuse to bother with them any longer so if they need help they need to look elsewhere.

I have no issue admitting to my wrongs as long as they are addressed with respect. If someone has a problem with the way I've done or said something, then approach me privately. Way too many people use the circle and attack method when confronting someone on their mistake because they are desperately trying to look good in front of their buddies and that's not the right way to go about it. It just makes them look like a jerk.


myLot reputation of 85/100. razcal2267 (9498)   ranked 4 out of 261 in raz  1 month ago

Some need to be called out in public to face the truth. I proved that the day this discussion was started. I was told by someone that since I was the one thar broght her child into the playroom while her other child was seeing the doctor a month or so before that I am the reason her child has cancer...
Now how in any warped reality does that make sense?

So I'm guessing that you had a rough day dealing with some idiot??? Some people are not worth the time it takes to argue with them. A young lady was studying for a test to enter the service. She had a math problem that had her stumped and asked a group of us for help. I was always pretty good in math and I figured it out pretty quickly. This guy told me that I was an idiot. We made a 5.00 bet. I sat with him and explained to him in 500 different ways at least as to how I arrived at the answer. He stubbornly argued with me. I had others explain to him in various ways...still he said we were all wrong. Even had a math teacher tell him that I was right and try to explain it. He gave up and said, "Sorry. some people are unteachable". Never got my 5.00. Why? He never got convinced that he was wrong. It is not worth arguing or debating with these people....all you get out of it is a bad day.


myLot reputation of 85/100. razcal2267 (9498)   ranked 4 out of 261 in raz  1 month ago

Some idiot? LOL if only it were one it would have been a great day but they were coming out of the woodwork

Sorry ya never got ya $5.00

You are definately telling the truth here. It would be nice if people could own up to mistakes that they have made for sure. I hate people that are always finding fault with everyone else and then try to act like everything is Perfect for them now. I work with someone who is like this, and if anyone has a lot of issues, it is him. But you can't tell him a thing without him getting upset and leaving the room and it is so sad for sure.
