LOLs / Re: Gross Out (Not for the faint of heart redux)

I think this is how someone got the idea for textured walls.  They saw the grossness and decided to paint over it...  tah dah! textured walls.

That might explain my apartment complex's mentality. ;)

The Work Day / Re: Call center workers!
« on: September 28, 2018, 06:35:24 pm »

Yellers are a different story. I am struggling to imagine a situation where it would be considered acceptable to yell at a call center worker. Telling me that you have to get verbal permission from the account holder to speak with me? Nope... not an acceptable reason.

From too many years in retail and call centers, the yellers either don't consider us people or so far below them that courtesy doesn't matter to them. At least that was my takeaway from it considering the terms they addressed me with.

It's been over 4 years since I've been in a call center and most of my nightmares involve someone on the phone screaming at me, "Where's my money you stupid woman!"

Insert profanity of your choice.

Not sure I want to go digging around in my brain for any stories though.

@runningstar - been there with our darling Jess (cat), she had a stroke a couple of weeks before she passed on. It's amazing the amount of sickness and ickyness you will so willingly deal with in order to make them comfortable and loved.

Our new little rascal is a ferocious hunter, despite being well fed and having a collar with bell. This weekend alone she caught 1 bird and two mice (that we know of!). The mice she played with until she was sure we saw them, and congratulated her on catching, then she got down to the busy business of eating them, head first. The bird she threw against the window, smearing it's blood, until we acknowledged her prowess...  :'(

Sorry for laughing, but I've had a cat like that. So it's mainly out of sympathy.

I meant to follow up and forgot. Recently she's gotten back on FB and apologized for her attitude. I suspect her daughter had a few words to stay to her (I'm online friends with her daughter too). And she said she is now filtering posts.

Whiskey cheddar is already on my list!

I'm not really a cheese person, but that sounds amazing.

I have no problems being unfollowed, or even blocked if a person feels it's necessary. Out of curiosity I checked my wall and most of my posts tend to be random cute animal stuff, various gaming things and other non-political stuff.

She may have her FB set up to show when friends like or comment on stuff. I tend to be active on threads for some news organizations and certain political activist groups I'm with.

The one who shares a lot of political stuff is her daughter, but I wise enough to so not go there.

I hope it helped to have other people join you in the eye-rolling!

It did! Many thanks to you and everyone else. Today I'm in a much better frame of mind.

Thank you everyone, I was afraid I was being the unreasonable one.

I'm glad I employed Scritzy's Coke Rule before I responded to her flounce, so I'm just going to let it go and guess she's having a bad day.

I don't like political posts, but I can do just what the OP's friend can do, scroll on by. If someone is totally annoying with constant political posts, she can hide the person's posts while remaining Facebook friends. I've done that, too. It's really simple.

Yeah, I just scroll on past the things that just make me twitch, or block the source if it's from a page or similar. Some friends I just unfollowed and every so often check up on their page. I'm still confused about why she took the responses that we did so personally.

If she brings it up again (leaving FB), could you say something like "Well, we'll miss you if you do that, but do what you gotta do"?

Or, you could say, "Well, before you leave FB, you might want to be sure you have others ways to contact the people you care about, like phone numbers and stuff."

Just take her at face value.

All of the suggestions are good, but I think I'll take your first suggestion, Toots, and just not respond to her latest attempting at flouncing.

And yes, there was much eyerolling on my part. :)

Today a friend asked all of her FB friends to limit political comments on their walls because she was tired of it. None of us tag her or post to her wall so those of us who are politically active politely objected to someone wanting to censor our walls. A couple of us suggested how to filter what she sees.

Her response was that she should just leave  FB. This isn't the first time she's made this threat when something didn't go her way and I'm struggling to stay polite.

Where oh where can I find such a delicacy?*

My parents live in Wisconsin and there's this little cheese store on the way to their house that I absolutely adore. I go in there and it's like a playground of delicacies.


Snipping the quote tree. :)

This reminds me of a burger a friend of mine was telling me about last night. She lives in Wisconsin and is a self-avowed cheese snob.

The World Dairy Burger: Burger topped with american, swiss, cheddar, provolone and blue cheese with lettuce, tomato and onion on an asiago bun and a side of cheese curds.

My brain was all kinds of boggled. :)

How could you be sure there was a burger in there? LOL!

I'm taking her word for it!  ;D
