Congratulations! You have posted FIRST to an anonymous smack blog of a scrapbooking website's message board! You have REALLY accomplished something today :D
Does anyone remember anything about this OP? I keep thinking that she's been troll-y or done some shit-stirring, but I can't remember why. I'm not a spreadsheet keeper
She only has 34 posts, no spreadsheet needed. You can probably read all of them in just a few minutes (I think the search only goes back 6 months though)
I wondered the same thing, 184, but decided not to ask since some autistic mom would inevitably take offense.
----------------------------
Well I am a mom of an autistic child and I don't have a clue why she used that for the title either. Mentioning the autism had nothing to do with the post.
Can't believe all the peas telling autistic kid's mom to keep the trains. They're at least $15 each new and worth half that used. Why keep them? Next thing you know you're on Hoarders.
-------------------------------
They're probably those dumbasses who think their grandchildren are going to play with them someday. Like the poor grandchildren would rather an old used toy with half the paint worn off instead of new toys.
I can't stand people who save toys claiming that their grandchildren will want to play with them someday. No. It's YOU that doesn't want to admit your kids are growing up. YOU want to keep the toys for sentimental reasons. Just admit it.
My MIL saved a shitload of toys and always tries non-stop to get my kids to play with them - and they NEVER do. My oldest ones know to be polite about it but my youngest babe literally will say "NO!" and push them aside with an annoyed face.
I'm not even going to talk about the outfits she saved of my DH's. Even the oldness, mildew, and mothball smell aside, I might've put them on my son just to make her happy...but they are the most ridiculous outfits she could've ever picked. The one she handed to us as if it was a bar of gold was literally a handknit sweater and pants set of marigold, bright turquoise, bright red, and brown colors.
8 - My MIL does the same thing. Saved my husband and his brother's toys and now tries to pawn them off on all the grandchildren. Sometimes she brings them over to the house thinking my husband is going to get all sentimental. I have enough of my own kid's toys to keep in order, I don't need all that old stuff to try to store too. It's not like any of it is collectible. They pretty much go right in the garbage can.
#5 calm down goodie two shoes. jane is prob sleeping.
it's too late anyway. it's already out there in the universe. hundreds of people already saw it. who cares if it's erased now or not? there are also about a zillion worse things that have been seen online so RELAX.

My grandchildren were thrilled to see what toys their father played with, and wanted to display his cars and trains in their room on their bookshelf. And they were 8 and 10 years old.
ADD Housewife is the perfect picture of what's wrong with America. She's got a bunch of kids who are "special needs" and whom suck up way more resources educationally than other children. She admits to having been on public assistance, again because of her entitlement issues.
But she's got enough money to go on a cruise.
Sorry, but I think parents like her should have to pay as much as they possibly can for all of the resources that their "special sneauflakes" take from an already overburdened system.
Oh fucking well if it means you can't take a vacation, ever. You chose to have these little sneauflakes, and you should fucking have to take care of them. I'm tired of my normal kid being put at a disadvantage by people like ADD and their vortex of need and entitlement.
Chele used to brag about having the best of both worlds, saying she was a "kept woman" that didn't have to sleep or live with the man providing for her. That man paid for her house and it sounds like most of her expenses for 30 years, more of them living apart then together.
It sucks for her son but it doesn't sound like she has ever even attempted to provide for herself and her children, even a little bit.
36, not buyin' it without some links. I know I'm new compared to some of the dinosaurs like yvonne, but I've been around 4 or 5 years and don't remember ever seeing any posts like that from Chele. In fact, until her tale of woe yesterday, I thought she was divorced and had been for a long time.
He paid for her entire family to go to Ireland, and for her spoiled little brats wedding. She lived pretty high on the hog for a considerable amount of time. She's pissed that he quit his job, but then says his ex-boss is the reason for the financial trouble he is in now.
Why should he sell everything he has when she won't do the same? Maybe instead of living like SHE was rich, she could have put some of the money he was throwing her way for 16 years in the fucking bank.
No more mink eyelashes and glamour shots for Chele!Oh boo-hoo.

None of her "spoiled brats" are married and never have been.

#30 I have a question for you. If ADD Housewife just had the special needs kids BUT was never on public assistance, would you feel the same?
I'm truly curious. How do you feel about this -I have a special needs child. I did every single thing right during my pregnancy, so it's not my fault I didn't get a healthy child. I have never collected a dime for having this child or for my family in general. No WIC or food stamps or welfare or whatever any of it is called. I have never applied for any of that. But yes, by law he has to attend school, and so we send him. And he gets things there like PT and Speech b/c he couldn't keep up with the regular kids due to his problems.
Do you think that I should never go on a vacation? Because my kid was born unhealthy and he attends school with an IEP?
I'm not being snarky, truly curious. I don't see how I could be doing anything different to take away any burden from you or your child. I have no choice but to send him to school, and I did not ask for any extras like iPads or anything. He gets what they said he needs.
Yes I suppose it costs them more for him than for a healthy child, but do you think that is my fault? I just don't see how it could be. It's how the schools work these days.
Back in the day kids like my son got sent to the special schools but they don't have those anymore - it's all integrated. I can't help that.
I'm truly interested in your thoughts on this. Do you feel that way about all of us, or just people like ADDHousewife b/c she is on aide but also vacations?
For what it's worth, I haven't been on a vacation in 12 years, but if I were to save money and go on one, I'm wondering if I'd be "wrong" in your eyes too, just b/c my son was born disabled.
38: I have to back up 36. Chele did brag for years on the board about how well she lived due to her ex's generosity. A lot of it happened around the time of Keegan's engagement - she was bragging constantly back then. I always thought it was odd that he gave her SO MUCH extra. I figured he either was still in love with her or was extremely wealthy and could do it without a second thought. Either way I thought she was pretty tacky the way she posted about it.
44, I feel that your child should be in a school that is geared toward students with special needs. I believe that his needs would probably be far better met that way, and I believe it would free up resources so that other students could get the attention they need.
"Neurotypical" children deserve just as much attention as special needs children.
I also feel that there is a HUGE difference between genuine disabilities and all this bullshit that people like ADD use to suck up school resources.
Things like autism, ADD, etc., that are based in behavior and not something physical, IMO, take resources from children with genuine need, like your child.
I believe that society should absolutely take care of its most vulnerable, and I wouldn't begrudge you or your family a fabulous vacation if you took one.
It's people like ADD who exploit the system with their psuedo-special needs children that get my goat. I should have clarified, though.
I am truly sorry if my comments hurt you in any way.
Thanks 48. I appreciate you clarifying. My son is definitely a true Special Ed kid with a real, serious diagnosis.
It sucks these days because we get lumped in with all the parents now that push the school to give their kids special services when really they just have kids who are bratty due to lazy parenting. I'm always ashamed to say my son is Special Needs to people I don't know, b/c I am afraid they will think I am one of "those moms". Really I would give my life to have my son be normal and to be able to be a regular kid in a regular class.
Not that I don't love him for who he is, but frankly his life sucks and he struggles just to get through each day so I'd do anything for him to be healthy and not need the school to spend extra money on him each year.
Truly I do think he would be better off in a school for special needs kids, but we don't have one. Believe me, it would be MUCH easier on me not to see him around the normal kids. It breaks my heart to see all the things regular kids can do, see, learn, etc., knowing he'll never get to do half of them. And they just seem so happy and carefree and like they're having fun at school. It would be easier not to have to see that constantly.
But the public school is our only choice. Frankly it does hurt like hell when I read things like your post and see that people are angry that he costs the school more than a normal child does. It's not his fault. But it just comes with the territory I guess. As the parent I have to hear all sides whether they hurt or not. Luckily the kids at school are still young enough where they love him, play with him, and fight over who will sit next to him at lunch. So he's sheltered from it at this point. I'm sure by high school the other kids will start to be mean to him but luckily I don't have to worry about that just yet.
52 I don't think so. BUT, if someone has subscribed to the thread (where they get an email every time someone replies), they WILL get an email when you bump it, and it will say who replied to the thread (you). Even if you delete quickly, they'll still get the email.
So you have to be careful. There may be someone who will know it was you, even if you quickly delete. And depending on who they are, they may call you out.
I really do apologize, 53, for not clarifying what I meant.
I believe that children with special needs deserve to have the resources needed to help them get the most out of school and life. I also don't think special education should be segregated for any reason other than that a more focused education would be more beneficial to the children in question.
I believe the pretend disabilities I mentioned take away from the those who truly need and deserve. There is a difference between a behavioral issue and a true disability. It's an insult to people like your son to lump ADD in with true disabilities, IMO.
You sound like a hell of a good mom. I will think more before I froth at the keyboard, and I'm really sorry for being so thoughtless with what I posted.
Hugs to you and your boy. He's lucky you're in his corner.
One of my best friends is an elementary school teacher. One of her biggest complaints is that parents like ADD housewife and their kids with all their behavioral issues take more school resources than the truly disabled.
My friend had an awful little boy in her class this year, but the kid is supposedly autistic. Funny how his autism only kicks in when he's expected to do something he doesn't want to do.
She said this kid takes far more resources to deal with than a child who is severely developmentally and physically disabled in his grade. Mostly because his mom is like ADD housewife - constantly appealing and blaming the school when her kid yet again fails to measure up.
Did Chele think they'd get back together? Seriously, it makes no sense to leave the marriage in limbo like that. And be so sure that the money would never stop flowing.
53, first let me say I am sorry you are feeling lumped in... I completely understand that... however, I also understand the original posters sentiments...
there are children with special needs that honestly NEED to be addressed and then there are the children that the parents try everything including a lawyer to get what they want... yes it is true, we use to have schools with dedicated professionals and resources to help families with children that had disabilities that needed attention.... that could offer resources and help and support... then that all went to hell in a hand basket when we decided that everyone is the same, there are no differences... no matter what... neurotypical children and special needs children were all suddenly lumped into the same category and everyone is the same.
Unfortunately there are parents, that make choices and all of the sudden it is everyone's issue that their child can't cope. (NOT THE ONES WITH REAL DISABILITIES) As one of my friends said, I can write an IEP for more time on testing but you will NOT get that accommodation on the LSAT... so where are we really going here?
I totally agree, that children with disabilities need to be supported as do their families... what gets me is when parents see an opportunity to exploit that... it takes away FAR more resources and time... I mean seriously, why does an IEP need to take 12 hours to complete? WTH? That screams I have a lawyer I am going to get my way and you are going to do what I say... I want everything MY way or I am going to sue the school to get what I want... I have seen it happen...
that is the frustration point... unfortunately parents with real needs and real concerns end up lumped into that arena... and that isn't fair either... it just sucks all around...
More hugs for #53. Your son is the reason the programs were put in place. I don't think ANY of us object to kids like him using those resources. Sorry if we were offensive.
Correct. Your quote was a response to 39 where the poster claims he paid for a wedding as if one took place.
----------- Not really. If they were claiming it had already taken place they might have said - "when her spoiled brat got married" but they said "paid for her spoiled brat's wedding" and he did, even though it was cancelled.
Look, I followed all her wedding planning threads - they already had a winery booked, she included a link to the site AND stated exactly what package they purchased. Five hour plated sit-down dinner with a guest list of 230 and growing - the cost per person was $120 with a 10% non-refundable deposit to reserve the date.
The point is - Chele and her children have wanted for nothing and what she wants now is for her ex to do without and to give it to her.
She's pissed he went to Vegas for his 50th, yet she's going on a cruise for hers.
Hard to be convinced to read anything the op says with the flying apostrophe in the thread title. Your intelligence is not impressing me, so thanks for translating to "plain English", but no.
73 that's very true, but they definitely did it. I too remember Chele talking about that. She even mentioned how it was early but they were so excited to plan so they were doing it. And she talked about the dress and how it was "the one" so they did it even though it was early.
If I was the father paying for that debacle I'd be so pissed. I mean I understand that it happens - engagements get broken. Sometimes even after the wedding is close to being paid for. But hell if half the Peas knew it wasn't going to last, you'd think Chele or her daughter or someone would've figured it out too. There was no doubt in my mind that wedding wasn't going to happen. Too bad her father didn't see it.
44, I have no problem with your son getting exactly what he needs from the public school, but I'll be honest....I hope that you are a raging liberal.
I get extremely pissed off when one of the hardcore republicans want more and more for their families while screaming about taxes. IOKIYAR, right?
I am more than happy to pay more taxes so that those in need receive proper education and healthcare.
My heart goes out to you and your son. I hate that you feel you have to defend the shitty services that you probably receive, because of the assholes out there who want more for them and less for everyone else. *hugs*
Let's see. It looks like, over a year and a half ago was the "date" she was to be married. She went to dinner with her Dad and plenty of others and has moved on. She's working full time with benefits and isn't relying on her Dad from the looks of things.
Oh and this year for 4th of July Cheetohlol posted pics and she does not look like a kid hurt by hambeast who left her.

-------------- Who said she was? No one here.
The topic wasn't Keegan, it was CheleOh and her expectations that she would never have to do things like pay her own fucking homeowners insurance, that her ex would just keep paying for her.

Someone did change the topic but that's ok I don't expect you to *read* a blog. Yes, the topic of Chel freeloading is also on today's plate. No one said "someone said she was hurt but doesn't look hurt" so why ask "Who said she was?"
Seriously? Looks like the "question everything on the blog lady" is here again.
The topic of the kids expecting daddy to pay for things *was* brought up. That brings K into it, see? She doesn't look held back by daddy or a wedding that didn't happen. She's moved on, you should too LOL!
Blame it all on kirbyscrapper! That'll make you look good! You can't keep talking to yourself ok? You can now commence with the "I was #___" and "I was #___".
It's so sad that you're confused, I think you missed a dose.
Something tells me this isn't the big deal the OP or the Peas are making it out to be.
I'm thinking it was more like "I brought in leftover Easter Candy but the vultures are circling so if you want any it's at my desk." and "I left some candy on your desk, those are the last two pieces left after _________ and _______ just about emptied the jar into their purses."
I know the above scenario doesn't match up with the Pea-way of always assuming the worst.
But I don't want to them endorse it unless they use it. That's not fair. -------- Do people really believe that a commercial = endorsement? They're actors, whether they're famous or yet to be discovered.
Rainbow doesn't have the skills to crap on anyone but herself. She's the Jar Jar Binks of both Blog and Pod. Ridiculous, but then you feel only pity for her sad life.

Have a happy period!
____________________________________________
If they are famous they are taking a risk. If they make a commercial/endorsement they are indeed attaching their name to the product. I would hate to be that Famous person who is filmed on a Commercial for shampoo only to later find out it caused peoples hair to fall out.LOL. They would forever be remembered for that.
I get totally un-pc happy when I talk to a friend who had weight loss surgery the same time I started weight watchers and find out she's only lost a few more pounds than I have. Diet and exercise bitches, that's all it takes. Oh yeah, and the will power to stop eating without being surgically forced to do it.
Blog bitch poll: With which pea would you want to spend an hour? Which pea would you rather have an unmedicated root canal than spend time with?
My current thoughts: Maybe Skybarf, because I'm an atheist heathen and, given a little judicious urging, her head might explode. And Carla, because she's a KIA bitch.
#94 here. I do see what you mean about the fair part,it is odd. I don't know why they would think anything in life is fair to begin with. Thats the pod for ya.
What's with all the peas that post about expired food, supposed to be kept cold-but was left out over night, beverages left in the car all day....would you eat or drink it? Seriously are those peas that dumb and that lacking in common sense, that they have to ask?
OMFG lisabug, YES you are the only one who finds it unethical that the mother is putting someone else's purchases on their card in order to get the points.
Seriously, WHAT a fucking goody two-shoes. It's a credit card company. They're not exactly who you should be worried about when it comes to ethics.
I Just opened a 2 year can of chicken noodle soup, is it supposed to be green? Maybe the soup company mislabeled a can of split pea soup? Do you think it's safe to eat?
Does Ms. Tyler ever admit she's wrong? I mean, I know she's got Jeebus on her side but for shit's sake, imagine being in her fucking presence everyday like her poor coworkers have to be...
Congratulations! You have posted FIRST to an anonymous smack blog of a scrapbooking website's message board! You have REALLY accomplished something today :D
113 ITA! I literally know not one person in my life who would ever dream of saying something like that. Even my MIL, who is the most prissy, prim and proper, saintly person you could ever meet, wouldn't think twice about charging something for us on her card if we needed her to, and I'm sure she'd enjoy the extra points and not feel a twinge of guilt.
WHERE DO THESE PEOPLE COME FROM???!!
Over the years there have been SO MANY people posting things like this on 2Peas and I seriously can't get over how I got to 40 years old and never met anyone like them until I got to 2Peas.
She probably would walk 5 miles to turn in a penny she found on the sidewalk, too.
GrinningCat actually said something that makes sense for a change (the Thank you post)
" But again, gratitude is not embodied in thank you notes. There are much better, imo, ways to thank someone. I hate writing thank you cards because they seem like a cop out to me, whereas getting the person on the phone is more intimate and real to me. Thank you cards make the gesture of thanking someone a little too easy in my mind, because they can be done at any time. But then again, I've never understood the camp that "thank you cards are the only way to say thank you and every other way is unacceptable" camp. I would change my tune if they gave a good reason for thinking this way, but I just can't see how a card is more personal and more intimate than actually talking to the person, whether face to face or over the phone. I just don't see it.
I also don't understand those who get their knickers in a knot for not getting a thank you card. Yes, it's good to be acknowledged and everyone should be, but I am baffled by those who say they will no longer give a gift because they didn't get a thank you card last time. It makes their motive sound like the only reason they give gifts is to receive the thank you card, not to actually gift the recipient."
Does Ms. Tyler ever admit she's wrong? I mean, I know she's got Jeebus on her side but for shit's sake, imagine being in her fucking presence everyday like her poor coworkers have to be... ******************** Seriously. I worked with a woman like that once. She was insufferable and all of us did everything possible to avoid even speaking to her if we could, up to LITERALLY running in the opposite direction if you saw her coming down the hall.
I wish there were schools for kids with special needs in ALL states. Where I live, there's a special school for children with special needs, Downs Syndrome, etc. They aren't mainstreamed in the school district in my area. My son does have to deal with the kids who have behavior issues/ADHD. He's been spit on, bit, licked and pinched by these kids and it bothers him. It distracts from his learning.
Do I like it? No but there isn't a damn thing I can do about it but alert the teacher and ask her to keep an eye on things as I don't think MY son should have to suffer at the hands of the kid who's got shitty parents.

It's called MANNERS!!
Something this new generation is clearly lacking! I was taught if someone gave you a gift, you thanked them in the form of a written thank you note. Especially in the case of a wedding, so you know your gift was received. I've attended weddings and never received a thank you note and the only way I knew they got my gift was when the check cleared the bank.

Dear friend,
I'm sorry both your legs are broken and you are on heavy meds for the pain. Please be sure send me my TY card during the 5 minutes that you'er not "out of it". I want to make sure you got that get well card I sent you. Thanks, love ya Nightowl Crapper
I just want someone on that 8 page thread to correct that insufferable, ignoramous twat Typhus about what "in plain English" means. Because according to her it means dumbing down and she is as usual, wrong. Please someone, put her in her place. Again.
I always write thank you notes, it's how I was raised. I don't expect other people to do the same because they weren't raised by the same mother. I think it is really shitty to give a gift with the expectation of a thank you card, some people show gratitude in other ways. I couldn't imagine waiting by the mailbox each day for a thank you card, what a miserable existence.
I try very hard to give the best, most appropriate and enjoyable gifts I can. And that's the end of it. There are no strings attached.
I could give a shit whether the recipient reciprocates with a gift of "equal' value or thoughtfulness. I could give a shit whether they send thank you cards.
There should be a saying for people like that OP, "do not count your TY notes before they are sent", or "a TY note in the hand is worth two in the armoire".
146 it's people like you who only give to get accolades in return. There are a lot of us out there who are happy to give and don't worry about a thank you.Wow. They forgot to thank you, your whole life is in shambles now. For crying out loud get over yourself.
Well if the whole fucking world has gone to hell in a handbasket, seems highly inapporopriate to be obsessing over pieces of fucking fancy stationery bearing high fives and "atta boys", that prop up your low self esteem to the extent that you can actually bear yourself for a couple of minutes, don't you think?
If someone can go to the trouble of selecting and purchasing a gift for someone, surely the recipient can take a few moments and write a note of gratitude or call or email a simple thank you. It's really NOT that hard!!
This entitled generation of spoiled brats who can't be bothered but expect piles of gifts for every occasion are what pisses me off! If you can't bother to say thank you, whether in person via phone call or in the form of a note or email, then no more gifts for you as you are obviously an ungrateful brat!
An online friend of mine with whom I've been interacting for almost 10 yrs asked for us(we belong to the same closed message board--not anything pea related) to send a video giving her 16yr old daughter advice to show at her Sweet Sixteen party...really easy to do with a smartphone, took less than 5 minutes....last week the 16 yr old send a nice thank you note of appreciation!! Was I expecting it? HELL NO! But it certainly was appreciated..so at least SOMEONE is raising their kid right! And no my online friend is NOT a pea!
People display them? Under a grow light? lol. Little nobodies all over the world. Gotta get their power shot somehow, anyhow. "I OWN this person now!".
I'm sorry but I just can't wrap my head around not saying/sending a personal thank you for a gift. What's so hard about it? It's not the end of my world, I'm not gnashing my teeth but geesh people, you DO come across as a lazy, ingrate if you can't be bothered to acknowledge a gift.
#153 there is a difference between being happy to get one and expecting it. And really, to be so upset over not getting a thank you is ridiculous. So a person can do everything else correct in their life, but my goodness they forgot to thank me for my gift. Well then, Damn them to hell. Yes you are a top rated pea for sure. Everyone MUST conform to the Pea Kingdom rules I guess. The step-ford Peas?

Um, I know this will shock you 156, but it has nothing to do with the degree of difficulty, hence you have no argument. I simply don't care enough, not about sending them, and not about receiving them.
There are lots of quaint 18, 19 th century etiquette hangovers that simply do not apply in the 21st. We dispensed long ago with calling cards, hard copy business cards will be gone soon too. Hard copy TY notes started to die the day the telephone was born. They will die faster now. That's just the way it is.
Why don't all you twats bitch about ty notes at the fucking pod...We.Don't.Care. And we would never give you a damn thing so we don't have to sit around with our knickers in a twist waiting on you to send us a thank you card.
#166 I am one that doesn't care about TY notes. I find the comments here of the ones who are dead set on getting one to be pretty entertaining. Especially the long rant of #153. I'm just waiting for the next free book.
I can't wrap my head around someone saying that they don't actually care whether or not they get a thank you and yet they are here obsessing about it!!!!
IMO, anyone who thinks that they should be thanked every time they do something or buy something for someone is only doing it for their own sense of self-worth, not out of generosity of spirit.
153 here....I'm not dead set on getting a thank you note but I find that when people who receive gifts and don't bother sending them are just rude and ungrateful. I WILL remember this the next time I get invited to one of their gift grabs. If you can't be bothered to send a thank you note, I can no longer be bothered to send you a gift.

And I think you are wrong!! I don't expect a written thank you note for a birthday present but for a formal occasion such as a wedding or a baby shower or bridal shower or graduation party, then yes I do expect one. Not sending one is just poor manners. I'm sure Emily Post, Ann Landers and Dear Abby would agree with me!
My ring bearer graduated high school this year. I attended the Open House and gave him a gift. He wrote me a thank you note. Imagine that!!
153. Damn them to hell for their infraction. They feed the homeless, helped the old lady across the street and then screwed up because they forgot to thank you. Yes, Damn them to hell!!
You bitches just go on thinking NOT sending thank you notes is acceptable. I for one will continue to send them and will teach my children to do the same.
I love the Beautiful Morning and Mzza111 pile on in Typhus's call out thread. She is SUCH a cunty bitch! CANNOT STAND HER! She's all boo Obamacare when her beloved Mitt Romney signed pretty much the SAME DAMN THING into law as Gov of Mass in 2006!! How conveniently they forget that fact!
I'm teaching my kids to write thank you notes for gifts. I don't understand why people are so offended about being thankful and gracious. -------------- It isn't being thankful an gracious that people are offend by. It's people who feel the deserve to be thanked, people who get butt-hurt if the thank you isn't done the right way and people who get all high and mighty because they never neglect to properly everyone for everything.
The point of manners and etiquette is to make people more comfortable not less. One thing many Peas don't seem to understand is that the rules change over time and vary among social groups. People today mix much more freely from one level of society to another and I think that is where the issues come in. Half the crap Peas talk about I never heard of until I read that board. I think that is what keeps me coming back all the stuff they get twisted up about.
#185..I'm teaching my kids to write thank you notes for gifts. I don't understand why people are so offended about being thankful and gracious. ----------------------------------- nothing wrong with that. Its the giver deciding that a person is a horrible person if they are not thanked. No one is perfect and we all screw up in one way or another. To Write someone off because they have a flaw is messed up. I sure hope the giver is perfect if they can so casually write off someone they cared enough to gift in the first place.
Wait...isn't Skybar one of the lazy, sucking off the gubmit teat losers KeriWest thinks should pull themselves up by their bootstraps and hard work, like she herself has so admirably done??
If I took the time to select a gift or drop a card with a check or cash in the mail, it's proper manners and etiquette to thank the giver. I don't care whether the thanks comes in the form of a note, text, email, phone call or PM on facebook. At least take a few seconds to appreciate that I went out of my way for you and offer thanks.
I never wrote or received a thank you note for anything until I was in my 30s. As God as my witness I grew up thinking that was something nobody actually did anymore. I asked my mom about it once and she just shrugged it was not something her family ever did either.
If I took the time to select a gift or drop a card with a check or cash in the mail, ---------- Maybe that is the difference I have never received a gift that was not handed to me by the giver in person. I have never had a celebration of any kind where opening the gifts one by one and thanking people generously in person was ever and issue. My wedding had only 15 guests and my baby shower only 6 so it was not an issue.

That's a BIG difference and in cases like that, I doubt the gift givers expected a written thank you note after having already been thanked in person.
Oh, no....I've been witness to several "no thank you in the mail" threads by peas who got butt hurt because even though they were thanked when they handed the gift to the person, they didn't get further documentation of said gratefulness via the USPS.
The bottom line is that if you think that someone needs to recognize your generosity, then you're doing it for YOU, not for them. I don't care if someone ever thanks me, just knowing that I did what I did is thanks enough for me.
The bottom line is that if you think that someone needs to recognize your generosity, then you're doing it for YOU, not for them. --------------------------------------
No, that's YOUR bottom line. Not thanking someone for a gift is just plain rude no matter how you slice it!

Let it go.
I wondered the same thing, 184, but decided not to ask since some autistic mom would inevitably take offense.
----------------------------
Well I am a mom of an autistic child and I don't have a clue why she used that for the title either. Mentioning the autism had nothing to do with the post.
Can't believe all the peas telling autistic kid's mom to keep the trains. They're at least $15 each new and worth half that used. Why keep them? Next thing you know you're on Hoarders.
-------------------------------
They're probably those dumbasses who think their grandchildren are going to play with them someday. Like the poor grandchildren would rather an old used toy with half the paint worn off instead of new toys.
I can't stand people who save toys claiming that their grandchildren will want to play with them someday. No. It's YOU that doesn't want to admit your kids are growing up. YOU want to keep the toys for sentimental reasons. Just admit it.
My MIL saved a shitload of toys and always tries non-stop to get my kids to play with them - and they NEVER do. My oldest ones know to be polite about it but my youngest babe literally will say "NO!" and push them aside with an annoyed face.
I'm not even going to talk about the outfits she saved of my DH's. Even the oldness, mildew, and mothball smell aside, I might've put them on my son just to make her happy...but they are the most ridiculous outfits she could've ever picked. The one she handed to us as if it was a bar of gold was literally a handknit sweater and pants set of marigold, bright turquoise, bright red, and brown colors.
8 - My MIL does the same thing. Saved my husband and his brother's toys and now tries to pawn them off on all the grandchildren. Sometimes she brings them over to the house thinking my husband is going to get all sentimental. I have enough of my own kid's toys to keep in order, I don't need all that old stuff to try to store too. It's not like any of it is collectible. They pretty much go right in the garbage can.

??? Doesn't she complain about finances a lot?
I thought the same thing 26, I don't think they let you use coupons on cruise ships.
Kendra's relaxing by the pool with a summer shandy. And her kids are locked in their rooms so they won't drown.
http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/mb.asp?cmd=display&forum_id=15&thread_id=3179582
What's with the cruise stuff? Wasn't she just complaining about not being able to get a baby sitter for a few hours?
ADD Housewife is the perfect picture of what's wrong with America. She's got a bunch of kids who are "special needs" and whom suck up way more resources educationally than other children. She admits to having been on public assistance, again because of her entitlement issues.
But she's got enough money to go on a cruise.
Sorry, but I think parents like her should have to pay as much as they possibly can for all of the resources that their "special sneauflakes" take from an already overburdened system.
Oh fucking well if it means you can't take a vacation, ever. You chose to have these little sneauflakes, and you should fucking have to take care of them. I'm tired of my normal kid being put at a disadvantage by people like ADD and their vortex of need and entitlement.
ITA, 30!

Gross!
ITA with 30...and I'd get rid of tax deductions for three or more children. Not my fault you decided to have more than replacement.
Take that, Duggars!
Kendra is dead, she died several pages ago.
Just let go.
Who is Kendra?
Chele used to brag about having the best of both worlds, saying she was a "kept woman" that didn't have to sleep or live with the man providing for her.
That man paid for her house and it sounds like most of her expenses for 30 years, more of them living apart then together.
It sucks for her son but it doesn't sound like she has ever even attempted to provide for herself and her children, even a little bit.
I still can't figure out why people would stay separated for 16+ years and not just go ahead and get divorced. It's kind of strange.
36, not buyin' it without some links. I know I'm new compared to some of the dinosaurs like yvonne, but I've been around 4 or 5 years and don't remember ever seeing any posts like that from Chele. In fact, until her tale of woe yesterday, I thought she was divorced and had been for a long time.
Got some threads for us to go back and read?
He paid for her entire family to go to Ireland, and for her spoiled little brats wedding. She lived pretty high on the hog for a considerable amount of time. She's pissed that he quit his job, but then says his ex-boss is the reason for the financial trouble he is in now.
Why should he sell everything he has when she won't do the same? Maybe instead of living like SHE was rich, she could have put some of the money he was throwing her way for 16 years in the fucking bank.
No more mink eyelashes and glamour shots for Chele!Oh boo-hoo.
Kendra lives in our hearts, she will never die.
My H's idea of foreplay is locking the bedroom door.

Which one of you douche bags hurt Gia LuPeaA's feelings?
#30 I have a question for you. If ADD Housewife just had the special needs kids BUT was never on public assistance, would you feel the same?
I'm truly curious. How do you feel about this -I have a special needs child. I did every single thing right during my pregnancy, so it's not my fault I didn't get a healthy child. I have never collected a dime for having this child or for my family in general. No WIC or food stamps or welfare or whatever any of it is called. I have never applied for any of that. But yes, by law he has to attend school, and so we send him. And he gets things there like PT and Speech b/c he couldn't keep up with the regular kids due to his problems.
Do you think that I should never go on a vacation? Because my kid was born unhealthy and he attends school with an IEP?
I'm not being snarky, truly curious. I don't see how I could be doing anything different to take away any burden from you or your child. I have no choice but to send him to school, and I did not ask for any extras like iPads or anything. He gets what they said he needs.
Yes I suppose it costs them more for him than for a healthy child, but do you think that is my fault? I just don't see how it could be. It's how the schools work these days.
Back in the day kids like my son got sent to the special schools but they don't have those anymore - it's all integrated. I can't help that.
I'm truly interested in your thoughts on this. Do you feel that way about all of us, or just people like ADDHousewife b/c she is on aide but also vacations?
For what it's worth, I haven't been on a vacation in 12 years, but if I were to save money and go on one, I'm wondering if I'd be "wrong" in your eyes too, just b/c my son was born disabled.
*aid, not aide
38: I have to back up 36. Chele did brag for years on the board about how well she lived due to her ex's generosity. A lot of it happened around the time of Keegan's engagement - she was bragging constantly back then. I always thought it was odd that he gave her SO MUCH extra. I figured he either was still in love with her or was extremely wealthy and could do it without a second thought. Either way I thought she was pretty tacky the way she posted about it.
None of her "spoiled brats" are married and never have been.

Correct, but he still paid for everything up until the wedding was cancelled.
http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/mb.asp?cmd=display&thread_id=2972140&pg=2
44, I feel that your child should be in a school that is geared toward students with special needs. I believe that his needs would probably be far better met that way, and I believe it would free up resources so that other students could get the attention they need.
"Neurotypical" children deserve just as much attention as special needs children.
I also feel that there is a HUGE difference between genuine disabilities and all this bullshit that people like ADD use to suck up school resources.
Things like autism, ADD, etc., that are based in behavior and not something physical, IMO, take resources from children with genuine need, like your child.
I believe that society should absolutely take care of its most vulnerable, and I wouldn't begrudge you or your family a fabulous vacation if you took one.
It's people like ADD who exploit the system with their psuedo-special needs children that get my goat. I should have clarified, though.
I am truly sorry if my comments hurt you in any way.
Have WROTE???? Come on bitches, you're better than that.
Which one of you douche bags hurt Gia LuPeaA's feelings?
Looks like they're doing a good job of slamming each other on there own without the blog.
That dress Chele's daughter chose is a fucking abomination.
Generally, little girls that want to be princesses on THEIR "big day" are too immature to get married.
What a joke.
If you bump and delete your post does the thread appear in your post history?
Thanks 48. I appreciate you clarifying. My son is definitely a true Special Ed kid with a real, serious diagnosis.
It sucks these days because we get lumped in with all the parents now that push the school to give their kids special services when really they just have kids who are bratty due to lazy parenting. I'm always ashamed to say my son is Special Needs to people I don't know, b/c I am afraid they will think I am one of "those moms". Really I would give my life to have my son be normal and to be able to be a regular kid in a regular class.
Not that I don't love him for who he is, but frankly his life sucks and he struggles just to get through each day so I'd do anything for him to be healthy and not need the school to spend extra money on him each year.
Truly I do think he would be better off in a school for special needs kids, but we don't have one. Believe me, it would be MUCH easier on me not to see him around the normal kids. It breaks my heart to see all the things regular kids can do, see, learn, etc., knowing he'll never get to do half of them. And they just seem so happy and carefree and like they're having fun at school. It would be easier not to have to see that constantly.
But the public school is our only choice. Frankly it does hurt like hell when I read things like your post and see that people are angry that he costs the school more than a normal child does. It's not his fault. But it just comes with the territory I guess. As the parent I have to hear all sides whether they hurt or not. Luckily the kids at school are still young enough where they love him, play with him, and fight over who will sit next to him at lunch. So he's sheltered from it at this point. I'm sure by high school the other kids will start to be mean to him but luckily I don't have to worry about that just yet.
52 I don't think so. BUT, if someone has subscribed to the thread (where they get an email every time someone replies), they WILL get an email when you bump it, and it will say who replied to the thread (you). Even if you delete quickly, they'll still get the email.
So you have to be careful. There may be someone who will know it was you, even if you quickly delete. And depending on who they are, they may call you out.
I really do apologize, 53, for not clarifying what I meant.
I believe that children with special needs deserve to have the resources needed to help them get the most out of school and life. I also don't think special education should be segregated for any reason other than that a more focused education would be more beneficial to the children in question.
I believe the pretend disabilities I mentioned take away from the those who truly need and deserve. There is a difference between a behavioral issue and a true disability. It's an insult to people like your son to lump ADD in with true disabilities, IMO.
You sound like a hell of a good mom. I will think more before I froth at the keyboard, and I'm really sorry for being so thoughtless with what I posted.
Hugs to you and your boy. He's lucky you're in his corner.
55 again. I wanted to make another point:
One of my best friends is an elementary school teacher. One of her biggest complaints is that parents like ADD housewife and their kids with all their behavioral issues take more school resources than the truly disabled.
My friend had an awful little boy in her class this year, but the kid is supposedly autistic. Funny how his autism only kicks in when he's expected to do something he doesn't want to do.
She said this kid takes far more resources to deal with than a child who is severely developmentally and physically disabled in his grade. Mostly because his mom is like ADD housewife - constantly appealing and blaming the school when her kid yet again fails to measure up.
I'm sorry 53. That must be very hard for you. I hope for his sake they stay nice to him.
Did Chele think they'd get back together? Seriously, it makes no sense to leave the marriage in limbo like that. And be so sure that the money would never stop flowing.
53, first let me say I am sorry you are feeling lumped in... I completely understand that... however, I also understand the original posters sentiments...
there are children with special needs that honestly NEED to be addressed and then there are the children that the parents try everything including a lawyer to get what they want... yes it is true, we use to have schools with dedicated professionals and resources to help families with children that had disabilities that needed attention.... that could offer resources and help and support... then that all went to hell in a hand basket when we decided that everyone is the same, there are no differences... no matter what... neurotypical children and special needs children were all suddenly lumped into the same category and everyone is the same.
Unfortunately there are parents, that make choices and all of the sudden it is everyone's issue that their child can't cope. (NOT THE ONES WITH REAL DISABILITIES) As one of my friends said, I can write an IEP for more time on testing but you will NOT get that accommodation on the LSAT... so where are we really going here?
I totally agree, that children with disabilities need to be supported as do their families... what gets me is when parents see an opportunity to exploit that... it takes away FAR more resources and time... I mean seriously, why does an IEP need to take 12 hours to complete? WTH? That screams I have a lawyer I am going to get my way and you are going to do what I say... I want everything MY way or I am going to sue the school to get what I want... I have seen it happen...
that is the frustration point... unfortunately parents with real needs and real concerns end up lumped into that arena... and that isn't fair either... it just sucks all around...
Typhus is up late and alone tonight. And bringing the angry.
More hugs for #53. Your son is the reason the programs were put in place. I don't think ANY of us object to kids like him using those resources. Sorry if we were offensive.

Not really. If they were claiming it had already taken place they might have said - "when her spoiled brat got married" but they said "paid for her spoiled brat's wedding" and he did, even though it was cancelled.
Look, I followed all her wedding planning threads - they already had a winery booked, she included a link to the site AND stated exactly what package they purchased. Five hour plated sit-down dinner with a guest list of 230 and growing - the cost per person was $120 with a 10% non-refundable deposit to reserve the date.
The point is - Chele and her children have wanted for nothing and what she wants now is for her ex to do without and to give it to her.
She's pissed he went to Vegas for his 50th, yet she's going on a cruise for hers.

LOL, everyone is still ignoring RainbowCrapper on that thread. Who's still screaming for FREE HEALTHCARE!!!!
.move.along.now.

They were planning a wedding that was still three to four years away. That's very early to be putting down deposits and getting a dress.
I don't like the way Kendra wears her hair in two low ponytails/pigtails. It's just not a flattering look. Even on the beautiful Kendra.
73 that's very true, but they definitely did it. I too remember Chele talking about that. She even mentioned how it was early but they were so excited to plan so they were doing it. And she talked about the dress and how it was "the one" so they did it even though it was early.
If I was the father paying for that debacle I'd be so pissed. I mean I understand that it happens - engagements get broken. Sometimes even after the wedding is close to being paid for. But hell if half the Peas knew it wasn't going to last, you'd think Chele or her daughter or someone would've figured it out too. There was no doubt in my mind that wedding wasn't going to happen. Too bad her father didn't see it.
44, I have no problem with your son getting exactly what he needs from the public school, but I'll be honest....I hope that you are a raging liberal.
I get extremely pissed off when one of the hardcore republicans want more and more for their families while screaming about taxes. IOKIYAR, right?
I am more than happy to pay more taxes so that those in need receive proper education and healthcare.
My heart goes out to you and your son. I hate that you feel you have to defend the shitty services that you probably receive, because of the assholes out there who want more for them and less for everyone else. *hugs*

Oh and this year for 4th of July Cheetohlol posted pics and she does not look like a kid hurt by hambeast who left her.

Hey little boy, you want some candy?
http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/mb.asp?cmd=display&forum_id=15&thread_id=3179760
Something tells me this isn't the big deal the OP or the Peas are making it out to be.
I'm thinking it was more like "I brought in leftover Easter Candy but the vultures are circling so if you want any it's at my desk." and "I left some candy on your desk, those are the last two pieces left after _________ and _______ just about emptied the jar into their purses."
I know the above scenario doesn't match up with the Pea-way of always assuming the worst.

Rainbow must have crapped on both of you.

But I don't want to them endorse it unless they use it. That's not fair.

Do people really believe that a commercial = endorsement? They're actors, whether they're famous or yet to be discovered.
Have a happy period!
Rainbow doesn't have the skills to crap on anyone but herself. She's the Jar Jar Binks of both Blog and Pod. Ridiculous, but then you feel only pity for her sad life.
The Rainbowcrush is showing!

If they are famous they are taking a risk. If they make a commercial/endorsement they are indeed attaching their name to the product. I would hate to be that Famous person who is filmed on a Commercial for shampoo only to later find out it caused peoples hair to fall out.LOL. They would forever be remembered for that.
I don't disagree 94, which is why most A-list celebrities do Japanese commercials. Ichiban, Lipstick for Men!
I mostly thought her "fair" comment was odd.

I've already put my beef in her taco. Only cost $5 and a condom.
You paid for that?
She's a job creator!
I get totally un-pc happy when I talk to a friend who had weight loss surgery the same time I started weight watchers and find out she's only lost a few more pounds than I have. Diet and exercise bitches, that's all it takes. Oh yeah, and the will power to stop eating without being surgically forced to do it.
Blog bitch poll: With which pea would you want to spend an hour? Which pea would you rather have an unmedicated root canal than spend time with?
My current thoughts: Maybe Skybarf, because I'm an atheist heathen and, given a little judicious urging, her head might explode. And Carla, because she's a KIA bitch.

Hey #95,

That is all.

Bingo. The stench of the kirby has been strong here.

Lol and yep.
What's with all the peas that post about expired food, supposed to be kept cold-but was left out over night, beverages left in the car all day....would you eat or drink it?
Seriously are those peas that dumb and that lacking in common sense, that they have to ask?

Nightowl crapper, we get it already!!!
You want a Handwritten Thank you card, on handmade paper, written in BLOOD. GET OVER IT ALREADY FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!
Is look4angel paid by the Obama campain - for fucks sake shut up already.
113 ITA! I literally know not one person in my life who would ever dream of saying something like that. Even my MIL, who is the most prissy, prim and proper, saintly person you could ever meet, wouldn't think twice about charging something for us on her card if we needed her to, and I'm sure she'd enjoy the extra points and not feel a twinge of guilt.
WHERE DO THESE PEOPLE COME FROM???!!
Over the years there have been SO MANY people posting things like this on 2Peas and I seriously can't get over how I got to 40 years old and never met anyone like them until I got to 2Peas.
She probably would walk 5 miles to turn in a penny she found on the sidewalk, too.
Ok, just read the OP of the Thank You note thread. HOLY (insert a bunch of other swears here) SHIT.
These people.
I just can't.
#120
LMAO and pissed my pants
TOO FUNNY!
GrinningCat actually said something that makes sense for a change (the Thank you post)
" But again, gratitude is not embodied in thank you notes. There are much better, imo, ways to thank someone. I hate writing thank you cards because they seem like a cop out to me, whereas getting the person on the phone is more intimate and real to me. Thank you cards make the gesture of thanking someone a little too easy in my mind, because they can be done at any time. But then again, I've never understood the camp that "thank you cards are the only way to say thank you and every other way is unacceptable" camp. I would change my tune if they gave a good reason for thinking this way, but I just can't see how a card is more personal and more intimate than actually talking to the person, whether face to face or over the phone. I just don't see it.
I also don't understand those who get their knickers in a knot for not getting a thank you card. Yes, it's good to be acknowledged and everyone should be, but I am baffled by those who say they will no longer give a gift because they didn't get a thank you card last time. It makes their motive sound like the only reason they give gifts is to receive the thank you card, not to actually gift the recipient."

Seriously. I worked with a woman like that once. She was insufferable and all of us did everything possible to avoid even speaking to her if we could, up to LITERALLY running in the opposite direction if you saw her coming down the hall.
Huh. Nightowl wringing her hands over thank you cards and lecturing us over "how civilized society should behave"??
That's rich. Civilized societies take care of their poor and sick - something Nightowl adamently opposes.
127 - Short Answer To A Stupid Question
Mrs Tyler is a twat that is in desparate need of a douche!
I wish there were schools for kids with special needs in ALL states. Where I live, there's a special school for children with special needs, Downs Syndrome, etc. They aren't mainstreamed in the school district in my area.
My son does have to deal with the kids who have behavior issues/ADHD. He's been spit on, bit, licked and pinched by these kids and it bothers him. It distracts from his learning.
Do I like it? No but there isn't a damn thing I can do about it but alert the teacher and ask her to keep an eye on things as I don't think MY son should have to suffer at the hands of the kid who's got shitty parents.

It's called MANNERS!!
Something this new generation is clearly lacking! I was taught if someone gave you a gift, you thanked them in the form of a written thank you note. Especially in the case of a wedding, so you know your gift was received. I've attended weddings and never received a thank you note and the only way I knew they got my gift was when the check cleared the bank.

Hi NIGHTOWL CRAPPER
glad you could join us!
Dear friend,
I'm sorry both your legs are broken and you are on heavy meds for the pain. Please be sure send me my TY card during the 5 minutes that you'er not "out of it". I want to make sure you got that get well card I sent you.
Thanks, love ya
Nightowl Crapper
Thanks 131.
I just want someone on that 8 page thread to correct that insufferable, ignoramous twat Typhus about what "in plain English" means. Because according to her it means dumbing down and she is as usual, wrong. Please someone, put her in her place. Again.
You want it done 138, then do it.
In plain English, it ain't worth it. She will never admit she is wrong and will just "adjust" what she meant when she posted before.
Hi NIGHTOWL CRAPPER
glad you could join us!
==========================
Sorry no, not Nightowl Crapper. Nice try though, thanks for playing!
I always write thank you notes, it's how I was raised. I don't expect other people to do the same because they weren't raised by the same mother. I think it is really shitty to give a gift with the expectation of a thank you card, some people show gratitude in other ways. I couldn't imagine waiting by the mailbox each day for a thank you card, what a miserable existence.
141. No, I guess your just a long lost sister..lmao
142. THANK YOU!
I try very hard to give the best, most appropriate and enjoyable gifts I can. And that's the end of it. There are no strings attached.
I could give a shit whether the recipient reciprocates with a gift of "equal' value or thoughtfulness. I could give a shit whether they send thank you cards.
I could give a shit whether they send thank you cards
-------------------------
And it's attitudes like yours that's caused this whole country to go to hell in a handbasket.
There should be a saying for people like that OP, "do not count your TY notes before they are sent", or "a TY note in the hand is worth two in the armoire".
****infufferable twat alert aisle 146****
#145. right on
146 it's people like you who only give to get accolades in return. There are a lot of us out there who are happy to give and don't worry about a thank you.Wow. They forgot to thank you, your whole life is in shambles now. For crying out loud get over yourself.
#147..lol, too true, too true.
Well if the whole fucking world has gone to hell in a handbasket, seems highly inapporopriate to be obsessing over pieces of fucking fancy stationery bearing high fives and "atta boys", that prop up your low self esteem to the extent that you can actually bear yourself for a couple of minutes, don't you think?
What do people even do with thank you cards after theyve been displayed for a week?
If someone can go to the trouble of selecting and purchasing a gift for someone, surely the recipient can take a few moments and write a note of gratitude or call or email a simple thank you. It's really NOT that hard!!
This entitled generation of spoiled brats who can't be bothered but expect piles of gifts for every occasion are what pisses me off! If you can't bother to say thank you, whether in person via phone call or in the form of a note or email, then no more gifts for you as you are obviously an ungrateful brat!
An online friend of mine with whom I've been interacting for almost 10 yrs asked for us(we belong to the same closed message board--not anything pea related) to send a video giving her 16yr old daughter advice to show at her Sweet Sixteen party...really easy to do with a smartphone, took less than 5 minutes....last week the 16 yr old send a nice thank you note of appreciation!! Was I expecting it? HELL NO! But it certainly was appreciated..so at least SOMEONE is raising their kid right! And no my online friend is NOT a pea!

152
Do people actually display them? I throw them right in the trash. Then again, I don't save invitations or any other cards so that may just be me.
People display them? Under a grow light? lol. Little nobodies all over the world. Gotta get their power shot somehow, anyhow. "I OWN this person now!".
I'm sorry but I just can't wrap my head around not saying/sending a personal thank you for a gift. What's so hard about it? It's not the end of my world, I'm not gnashing my teeth but geesh people, you DO come across as a lazy, ingrate if you can't be bothered to acknowledge a gift.
I'm getting in the handbasket then, move over bitches..
#153 there is a difference between being happy to get one and expecting it. And really, to be so upset over not getting a thank you is ridiculous. So a person can do everything else correct in their life, but my goodness they forgot to thank me for my gift. Well then, Damn them to hell. Yes you are a top rated pea for sure. Everyone MUST conform to the Pea Kingdom rules I guess. The step-ford Peas?

Captain Kunt telling someone else "how they come across" is priceless! Does she not own a verbal mirror?
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I'm not sure you realize how your complaints come across in this particular audience...
"Ugh, I have such an important job that I have to do budgeting so far in advance! Life is so tough when you're a corporate banker like me."
"Ugh, the organic plums shipped in from California aren't very tasty! Life is so tough when you're rich enough to buy organic shipped in produce."
I know you don't INTEND it, but you surely do come across this way sometimes.

If you forget to send a thank you card..you are going to Pea hell!!!
LMAO!!!
Um, I know this will shock you 156, but it has nothing to do with the degree of difficulty, hence you have no argument. I simply don't care enough, not about sending them, and not about receiving them.
There are lots of quaint 18, 19 th century etiquette hangovers that simply do not apply in the 21st. We dispensed long ago with calling cards, hard copy business cards will be gone soon too. Hard copy TY notes started to die the day the telephone was born. They will die faster now. That's just the way it is.
#162. THANK YOU!!
I think some of you should go back to the telegraph. Cell phones are too much for ya as well.
Step-Ford Peas. Yes, that's a good name for them.
So much angst over thank you notes. Christ, only at the pod.
Why don't all you twats bitch about ty notes at the fucking pod...We.Don't.Care. And we would never give you a damn thing so we don't have to sit around with our knickers in a twist waiting on you to send us a thank you card.
166---I wouldn't piss on you if your teeth were on fire. Glad I don't know any assholes like you in real life. Manners and tact go out the window.
Buncha classless bitches here at the blog!
You know #166, if you DID send me a gift, I'd certainly send you a thank you note because that's how I roll! :D
#166 I am one that doesn't care about TY notes. I find the comments here of the ones who are dead set on getting one to be pretty entertaining. Especially the long rant of #153.
I'm just waiting for the next free book.
#167
It is what it is.
BAHAHAHAHAHA
Is Nightowl Mrs. Manners? I always get that vibe from her.
#171
She is the leader of the Step-Ford Peas
I can't wrap my head around someone saying that they don't actually care whether or not they get a thank you and yet they are here obsessing about it!!!!
IMO, anyone who thinks that they should be thanked every time they do something or buy something for someone is only doing it for their own sense of self-worth, not out of generosity of spirit.
153 here....I'm not dead set on getting a thank you note but I find that when people who receive gifts and don't bother sending them are just rude and ungrateful. I WILL remember this the next time I get invited to one of their gift grabs. If you can't be bothered to send a thank you note, I can no longer be bothered to send you a gift.
#173
This is the concept the peas just don't get. They Just can't get passed their "rules".

----------------------------------------------
And I think you are wrong!! I don't expect a written thank you note for a birthday present but for a formal occasion such as a wedding or a baby shower or bridal shower or graduation party, then yes I do expect one. Not sending one is just poor manners. I'm sure Emily Post, Ann Landers and Dear Abby would agree with me!
My ring bearer graduated high school this year. I attended the Open House and gave him a gift. He wrote me a thank you note. Imagine that!!
153. Damn them to hell for their infraction. They feed the homeless, helped the old lady across the street and then screwed up because they forgot to thank you. Yes, Damn them to hell!!
(yes this is over the top; just as you are)
You bitches just go on thinking NOT sending thank you notes is acceptable. I for one will continue to send them and will teach my children to do the same.
(yes this is over the top; just as you are)

I'm teaching my kids to write thank you notes for gifts. I don't understand why people are so offended about being thankful and gracious.
I love the Beautiful Morning and Mzza111 pile on in Typhus's call out thread. She is SUCH a cunty bitch! CANNOT STAND HER! She's all boo Obamacare when her beloved Mitt Romney signed pretty much the SAME DAMN THING into law as Gov of Mass in 2006!! How conveniently they forget that fact!

--------------
It isn't being thankful an gracious that people are offend by. It's people who feel the deserve to be thanked, people who get butt-hurt if the thank you isn't done the right way and people who get all high and mighty because they never neglect to properly everyone for everything.
The point of manners and etiquette is to make people more comfortable not less. One thing many Peas don't seem to understand is that the rules change over time and vary among social groups. People today mix much more freely from one level of society to another and I think that is where the issues come in. Half the crap Peas talk about I never heard of until I read that board. I think that is what keeps me coming back all the stuff they get twisted up about.
#185..I'm teaching my kids to write thank you notes for gifts. I don't understand why people are so offended about being thankful and gracious.
-----------------------------------
nothing wrong with that. Its the giver deciding that a person is a horrible person if they are not thanked. No one is perfect and we all screw up in one way or another. To Write someone off because they have a flaw is messed up. I sure hope the giver is perfect if they can so casually write off someone they cared enough to gift in the first place.
191 here just pretend I didn't drop a dozen letters and a few hole words there.
Wait...isn't Skybar one of the lazy, sucking off the gubmit teat losers KeriWest thinks should pull themselves up by their bootstraps and hard work, like she herself has so admirably done??
If I took the time to select a gift or drop a card with a check or cash in the mail, it's proper manners and etiquette to thank the giver. I don't care whether the thanks comes in the form of a note, text, email, phone call or PM on facebook. At least take a few seconds to appreciate that I went out of my way for you and offer thanks.
I never wrote or received a thank you note for anything until I was in my 30s. As God as my witness I grew up thinking that was something nobody actually did anymore. I asked my mom about it once and she just shrugged it was not something her family ever did either.
If I took the time to select a gift or drop a card with a check or cash in the mail,

Maybe that is the difference I have never received a gift that was not handed to me by the giver in person. I have never had a celebration of any kind where opening the gifts one by one and thanking people generously in person was ever and issue. My wedding had only 15 guests and my baby shower only 6 so it was not an issue.

=====================================
That's a BIG difference and in cases like that, I doubt the gift givers expected a written thank you note after having already been thanked in person.
Oh, no....I've been witness to several "no thank you in the mail" threads by peas who got butt hurt because even though they were thanked when they handed the gift to the person, they didn't get further documentation of said gratefulness via the USPS.
The bottom line is that if you think that someone needs to recognize your generosity, then you're doing it for YOU, not for them. I don't care if someone ever thanks me, just knowing that I did what I did is thanks enough for me.
The bottom line is that if you think that someone needs to recognize your generosity, then you're doing it for YOU, not for them.

No, that's YOUR bottom line. Not thanking someone for a gift is just plain rude no matter how you slice it!
