Hey I might go in the business of making signs I hang on my neck so people can just grab appropriate ones when they are being asked for advice. A most common one is a woman who is upset because their live in boyfriend disrespected her. My sign would say: “Dump the shithead. When you take him back don’t announce it to me. And don’t tell me about the next time you want to dump him again because you should have dumped him the first time you had that urge!” :pleasantry: … (put 2nd sign) “And furthermore. I don’t know what material your skull is made of because nothing penetrates the dang thing! :brickwall: You should call the Pentagon so they can clone your skull and build skyscrapers with it!” :muted:

My little voices say that if I spill the ick they’ll kidnap my dog and I’ll never get him back! :shocked: So I never spill…not even to my husband, which is why there is tension and ick-iness between us right now. Sigh…

Oh wow..have you been in my head lately? 😯 Seriously, I’m the type who holds it in. But just recently I had my sister tell me all about the horrible :rolleyes: things I am or have done to her in the last 20+ years…mind you this was after my dads triple bypass….times like that is when I usually tend to let my feelings out, and I did. So now she’s not speaking to me nor is my mother….is it a win-win situation? I guess… :rolleyes: It seems when you tell people the truth, they don’t like to hear it. As they say, Truth Happens! :winking: And that’s what happened in my case. I’ll live. :good:

How is it that she’s allowed to express it, but you get the cold shoulder for doing the same thing? Huh? :no: You’re handling what was dished out well, that’s for sure.

I’m really bad about this – I’ve hurt many a sensitive (and not so sensitive) being with my directness. I don’t mean to be cruel, but I am painfully honest at times. :giggle:

I woman I have more contaact with than I would like tom begin with, an educated woman, pronounces the word “with” as WIF. It drives me insane!!. I jsut want to scream “with, with” lady. How did you ever get through college?

Can you axe her that? (Get the axe, that’s one of my peeves, is that some sort of tongue twister, or is it the new slang for ask?)

Okay, first I’ll tell you that I can hear the voices. I’m not making that up.

Second I’ll tell you that part of the reason my blog is hidden from family and people I know is so that I can speak with brutal honesty and say things I’d never say out loud.

Finally I would say that the (several) sentences I wish I could speak would be to my Mother in Law and I would tell her that contrary to popular belief, she des NOT know everything there is to know about everything there is to know; and that she shouldn’t be so prejudicial and racist; and then I would tell her to record herself so she can hear the tone in which she speaks down to people and that perhaps she could try to be nicer to those she claims to love.

Of course, all of this would hurt her feelings and she would be sad and upset so I just let it go (and rant about it on my blog). And then I tell my kids in the car not to listen to what grandma says about other races and to form educated opinions of their own.

MiL ick is the worst kind, and it’s really hard to just deal with it – it’s not just another person, but it’s not your own mom, so I think MiL ick should have its own class all by itself! I have to wonder though, to MiL’s have a lot of DiL ick? Hm.

I have a friend that I would like to shake and tell her to just get her life together. Does that count?

Absolutely, it counts!

Ashley, I am so disappointed by your loose morals. It makes me want to cry when I think about you sleeping around and doing drugs and disrespecting yourself. I don’t understand why you don’t see yourself as the beautiful, deserving young woman that I do.

I wouldn’t call this ick, I would actually encourage you to tell her! I wish I had ick that was so caring!
