parents

Did they teach you to ask why someone might feel a certain way before passing judgment?

 

I could forgive him if he'd tell me how to get this piece-of-shit Windows 8 laptop that I bought my wife to quit kicking her off the wifi every 10 minutes.

 

Erase it and install Windows 7.

 

This is what I meant to say to him last night, but at the time, "uncouth opinionated ass" was all that came to me...

 

If I had a copy of it I would. I'm considering trying to get tech support to do it for me. Maybe if I tell them I'm using it for work they will.

 

This may be more accurate

 

That's actually extremely polite compared to what I struggled not to write. A word that I truly hate, would probably only use about Nancy Grace, and I'm not even sure I would say that directly to her.

 

I can't claim credit. There was a cartoon montage in either Mad or Cracked Magazine with strange creatures illustrating such cliches as "Holding onto a grudge" and "On the horns of a dilemna". All wisdom comes from humor, or is it the other way around.

 

Ahhh, a Mad reader. Speaking of old ads and magazines.

 

What? Me worry?

 

Probably still learning what she now knows. Parenting is a learn-as-you-go position.
Plus, being a grandparent is a whole different thing.



After reading this thread, I realize I have a great family.

 

I think it is. I visit my parents often, and visit my in-laws just as much (more than my wife) They all happen to be much wiser than I am.

 

Ya, its like they are occupying a place in your head rent free!

 

Except I don't have a hobby of trolling nor am I a fuck head.

 

And that excuses your behavior?

 

Of course. They also taught me to not pass judgment.

 

That is correct. It isn't ok for them to be unmoved by their passing. They did more than donate DNA. They made you exist. Without them, you don't exist.

If you are saying it would be better for you to not exist than sure go ahead and be unmoved by them dieing. Saying it would be better if you don't exist is the fucked up part.

 

So it's not their fault you turned out this way.

 

Really? Then what the hell is this?

That explains a bunch."

 

In his defense, he didn't say he learned any of what he was taught.
