Brilliant! The review is so much better than the book!
Meanwhile, E. L. James is laughing all the way to the bank.
Homemade italian wedding soup and fresh breadsticks
I try not to do it too often at home. First of all, my kids laugh at me. And secondly, I'm a total klutz.
I have difficulty keeping track of my arms and legs.
I don't fancy a trip to the Doctor's again. He tried hard not to laugh while I explained how I broke 2 toes and dislocated the other. Or the time I gashed myself when I knocked over the TV. Or the other time I gave myself a black eye when I spun right into the wall.
Turn the music up loud? Sure.
Sing along with the music? Absolutely.
Dance around the room? No way. Not anymore. I know my limits.
While I'll be the first to thank the verifiers here for the outstanding work they do, I can understand where some are coming from.
First of all, I believe the OP made a great statement by titling it "Help... I've been arrested by the grammar police"
It was witty and funny and in no way, shape or form disrespectful. It grabbed your attention and she got the help she was asking for.
After that was taken care of, it went straight to hell.
I take offence when people assume everyone has received an education. Not everyone has, and when its so pointedly blared out in the forums it reminds me of my many failings in life. My lack of education being a BIG part of my failings.
I have no confidence in my spelling, sentence structure and grammar. I constantly second guess myself while editing my work. I also get no feedback if I ask. Nor do I want to hound people about it with my many questions.
This is not high school. And yes, I probably should've learned it all there... but I didn't. I am learning it here.
So please quit being so ignorant and rude when someone writes something and the Grammar Nazi's feel the need to descend on the typos, poorly written sentences or misused punctuation and rip it to shreds.
Not everyone had the same chance as you, the grammar nazi, to receive a proper education.
(I am not directing this at any of the verifiers I've dealt with by the way - I have received nothing but a great deal of help from any that I have worked with)
Let the butthurt continue.
I'm outwardly calm. Detached even. I can't stand the sight of him, so I've buried my head in old reruns so I don't have to look at him.
If he only knew how much I hated his fucking face right now.
Another fucking paycheck gone. And nothing done. Gone to sleep it off. Fucking loser.
It's amazing how fast he manages to burn through the whole fucking thing. Like a god damn child. And I'm so sick of holding his hand and wiping his ass like he was a baby.
I should've ran. Instead I let him destroy me. I'm not sure if I'm mad at myself for coddling this overgrown manchild for so long or because I allowed him to destroy everything I had accomplished in my life. It wasn't much, but it was mine. And now it's gone, too.
I'm so sick of coming in third place. Of being put last on his list of importance. His booze and weed will always come first. And I will never be treated with any respect.
In eight fucking years, I've never gotten one birthday present. Not one iota of thought put into it. But he buys himself jewelry. He wears more than I do. Christmas is a joke and Valentines Day is just another day. I'm not worth it to him. Nor his kids.
I gave up everything to make him happy. I've got to be fucking stupid. And now I'm stuck. My hopes and dreams are gone and that knight in shining armor is a fucking douchebag. They all want a piece of you.
No man will save you or complete you. It's a fucking lie. They will all destroy you in some way, shape or form. All of them. They'll pick away at you until you're nothing. And then they expect more and yell and scream when you don't give it to them.
Well... I've got nothing left to give.
For a giggle, my SO used to name the days of the week like this:
Mauling Melons Monday
Tickle Me Taint Tuesday
Wild & Wicked Wednesday
Thursday was an off-day (Everyone needs a day of rest I guess)
Feel Me Up Fridays
Sinful Saturdays
Suck Me Off Sundays
When she stops caring about herself or others. Looking for quick gratification/cheap thrill over friendships.
For example: Dangerous actions such as unprotected sex with strangers. Or hooking up with friends partners without their knowledge or consent.
It's simple really. Shut your fucking mouth. Just shut up. I've tried saying it nicely but I'm seriously thinking I need to break out the duct tape. Or staples.
Peace and quiet is nice. Try it sometime, instead of babbling on incessantly for hours about absolutely nothing at all.
I've already heard your stories 800 fucking times now. I do not need it repeated over and over. I am not that stupid or empty-headed or dim-witted that I cannot remember the time you nearly dropped the engine on your fucking head. (Honestly? I think you did drop the engine block on your fucking head, but that's just my observation)
Unlike you, I can hold a thought in my head for more than a minute. I can actually think! Without you telling me what I should think. Fucking dick.
You talk and gossip more than any woman I've ever met. And holy shit can you whine. You're a pussy bitch mommas boy. You're the poorest excuse I've ever met for a man. I can't get a word in edgewise, even if I wanted to. You just won't shut up long enough. I don't fucking know these people you're so adamant to tell me all about. So I'd rather not hear your gossip about them. I'm not like your whole stupid fucking family and judge these people before I've even met them. I am not that fucking ignorant. I'm a big girl and can make up my own mind about someone. Like you. And your fucking family. I'll do a happy dance and cartwheels the day I can get the fuck away from all of you fucking morons. I feel my IQ dropping when I have to stay in the same room with you fucking weirdos.
And No... It's not "stating a fact" when you scream at me. It means your useless punk ass can't handle me telling you when I try to explain to you why I would like some quiet.
Is it because I do it in a calm voice that it pisses you off? I've never seen someone get so angry because I want peace and quiet while I'm watching a show or talking with a friend.
Logic isn't your strong suit, is it?
I'm gonna show you anger one of these days when I staple your fucking hands to the table and duct tape your fucking mouth shut just so you can't make it sound like you're skinning a fucking cat when you "try" to sing and "play" the guitar while I have friends over or I'm on the phone.
By the way... I think your guitar would make excellent kindling for the fireplace. You fucking asswipe.
In a nice restaurant during dinner under the tablecloth.
I remember a few years ago, a couple would come into my restaurant for dinner. I served them quite often.
She called him the "Old Bastard" many times and he used to call her his "Old Bitch" or "Battle Ax".
I was absolutely shocked by their language.
But he brought her flowers every time and always held her chair for her until she was seated. She used to feed him choice bits and pieces off her plate.
They really were the sweetest, most loving couple I ever met.
They would always leave holding hands.
I was happy to cater their 65th wedding anniversary for them and meet their 8 children and their families.
They just had the oddest pet names for each other.
