    Do you think this is rude...

    ITA with Liann. It is appalling the way some people feel they can just trample on the rights of others in order to fulfil their own selfish needs/wants. It would have been different had they asked you first and given you the power to make the decision rather than what they did.

    Do you think this is rude...

    Ok...I was thinking 'who the hell needs friends like these?' You know, I would just tell him "No, I'm not going to be able to do this". I don't think this would make me a bitch, just someone who was asserting her right to say no to an unreasonable request. Also, I don't believe it is good for my...

    Do you think this is rude...

    Hmmm...I just typed up a response to your last post, Melissa, then thought better of it. Will keep my opinions to myself unless asked.

    What are you reading?

    I just bought this and can't wait to get started. First I have to finish "High on Arrival" by Mackenzie Phillips, which I checked out of the library and have to return in a week.

    Do you think this is rude...

    This is only my opinion, not advice -- you asked for thoughts, so here goes...I wouldn't do it. I never do anything I don't want to do, especially something I feel I've been railroaded into doing, and would find something like this extremely offensive. I would respond to her email, cc'ing...

    The Having Kids Debate

    Lots of good information on here and I can't really add anything. Personally, I don't particularly like kids and I have 2 daughters and 3 grandchildren. I do love my girls and grandchildren, but I'm so glad I don't have to live with kids anymore.

    Anti-Gay Sentiment Surprise. An "Ugh" rant.

    Yay!! How cool, a lot of my neighbours south of the border don't know much about Canada, so I am happy to hear you humming :D I am very good friends with several gay people, and was so pleased when the law finally, rightfully, allowed people to marry the person they love. Isn't that part of what...

    Elliptical Trainer

    Yes, it's a good idea to try out several to find the one that fits you best. I bought an Octane 47e, which analyses, and then automatically adjusts, the stride. Like Judi, I work out to Cardio Coach on my elliptical, and it automatically adjusts the stride throughout the workout, depending upon...

    Anti-Gay Sentiment Surprise. An "Ugh" rant.

    Here in Canada, "the true north strong and free" (a phrase from our national anthem), gay marriage is legal, has been for a few years now.

    Anti-Gay Sentiment Surprise. An "Ugh" rant.

    I have to say that I am thoroughly enjoying the intelligent, respectful, and humourous posts on this topic.

    Elliptical Trainer

    Hi Melissa :) - I bought an Octane late last summer and I love it. I canvassed the educated crowd here before I bought and had several recommendations for the Octane. If you search "octane" here on the forums, you should be able to see what others have said. P.S. My Octane was rather...

    Anti-Gay Sentiment Surprise. An "Ugh" rant.

    A lot of heinous acts against humanity have occurred in the name of religion, no? As part of my own intellectual growth, I participated in a two-year Bible study...some pretty scary stuff in there! The God of my understanding is gentle, kind, loving...I could never believe in a punishing...

    Anti-Gay Sentiment Surprise. An "Ugh" rant.

    Same-sex marriage has been legal in Canada for several years now, although the redneck (IMHO) Province of Alberta, where I live, had to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century. The PC government was vehemently opposed at the time, but finally recanted and now all our gay and...

    Anti-Gay Sentiment Surprise. An "Ugh" rant.

    So sad. My uncle has not spoken to his only son in over 30 years, when my cousin came out to him. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that he stopped speaking to me several months ago when he learned that the man I love is black. Sad :(

    50 and over week of Oct 18 check in

    Hi everyone - I have gotten the annual seasonal flu shot for several years now, and never had a problem. Actually, I think I was coming down with a bug before I got the shot, my best friend has been down with the flu and I think I might have caught it from her. Therefore just took it easy today...

    Perception of business practices

    Just my opinion -- I don't expect everyone to agree with me: I'm happy that I have the choice to preorder or not. The workouts will still be available to those of us who do not preorder. So I'm not really sure what the issue is, as we are not being told that if we don't preorder then we cannot...

    What happened to my summer (RANT)

    I feel your pain. I'm in Calgary, Alberta Canada, north of the state of Montana. We had a dump of snow yesterday, but today is beautiful. So we may still get a few days of fall between snowfalls :p

    DVD Trade-In

    I would so love to be able to trade in my old VHS movies for DVD's as well. But I somehow wouldn't feel right asking. So if I want the higher quality and versatility, then I guess I'd better be prepared to pay for it.
