I hate people who think that they're better than we are because they were born with inherited money and didn't have to work to attain the success that we've achieved. We worked hard and acquired graduate degrees to succeed at the level that they were just handed to on a silver platter. Not fair.

But then life is not fair. If it were, I would not be infertile while unmarried young women (who can't afford to give a child all of the advantages in life that we can) pop out babies like a Pez dispenser. Thank God for my one successful pregnancy.

One is so much better than none...especially since she turned out so well.;-)

Salesgirls were daughters of owners, remember?

I want a Swatch. Remember those?

Yeah, and she was about seventeen. I guess she can give it to her daddy next year when it's not cool anymore.

I used to have four or five Swatches, and I'd wear them at the same time. 35 year old women probably used to think that was silly and wasteful, too. They didn't realize I needed to know what time it was in London because that was where Simon LeBon lived. :D

Linda, this made me LOL for some reason. Do you think if George Clooney, Russell Crow or Leo popped gum would it annoy us just as much? :dunno:

Um, I think it would. I hate it that much.

It was the type of pop they were doing, very high pitched. One other woman at a place I used to work did that all the time and our boss got mad as heck at her. It is very annoying.

With the ex it wasn't the pitch, it's the fact that he knows how much I hate it, and goes out of his way to kind of rub my nose in it. Case in point, we took the kids to a play on Sunday for one of our occasional "family" outings, and riding back home from downtown, he reaches into the glove box and says, "Who wants watermelon gum????" I knew the popping would start soon - and we were stuck in a traffic jam to boot. There was nowhere to hide. If I'd had a gun, I'd have just shot myself.

greenroomsurfer, i believe i saw you just as you were motioning for the sheriff to come help.

i hate that we don't have socialized medicine. with all the taxes that we pay going toward GW's "war', it sucks that all that money couldn't be put toward some kind of comprehensive insurance system.
