I rarely wait, my items are bagged perfectly and I never find myself with a crushed loaf of bread or smashed eggs ================================= Same here, because I use the self serve checkout.
It's over the top to thank your spouse for cooking a nice meal?
Alrighty, then.
I get what she's saying. I think it's over the top too, because in our house we're more relaxed, "real" I guess you could say, and less formal...I would think DH was acting weird if he thanked me politely for a dinner. We just talk differently here...in my family growing up, too.
DH's family was more formal - more the prim and proper type, they are polite to each other and I could see my FIL saying "That was delicious, dear, thank you for the meal." It's proper manners, yes, but when it's your own immediate family it just seems stuffy or fake to talk like that. JUST IMO only.
When I hear FIL and MIL talk to each other I always wonder if they loosen up when it's just the 2 of them alone, kwim? Do they get "real" with their feelings, or is it all superficial formality when they're alone?
Every house is different. Manners are obvs not a bad thing. It's just that we are just more laid-back and joking around types in my house. "Using proper manners" just seems like it's more for people who don't know each other as well. We each know the other is thankful for the things we do for each other without talking like the Cleavers is all.
I think that's what the other poster was trying to say.
And YES we thank each other for things of course, but after every meal seems fake if you're saying it in a "proper manners" type way, and I would think it loses meaning after say, 13 years of marriage. It would be more an auto-response rather than a heartfelt thank you.
It's not like we don't tell each other thanks for certain things or appreciate each other and do nice things for each other. It's just the way it's being described seems like a scene out of June and Ward Cleaver's relationship and let's be honest, they weren't exactly close.
We have a very laid back house and my husband still says thank you when I cook. If he doesn't say the phrase thank you he at least does say something that indicates gratitude like damn that was good or something. It's not formal.
My husband always sends me a handmade, hand-written thank you note after dinner ;)
Seriously, though, why is it so hard for some of you to grasp something as simple as a spouse thanking the other for taking care of life's mundane tasks? It's not fake, and it's not formal.
It's taking the time to say, "the yard looks nice, babe" after your husband spent the afternoon doing yard work. It's my husband taking the time to say, "damn, you are the best cook I know" while we are having dinner.
My husband and I have a genuine affection for one another, and I am astonished at home many of you seem to find that impossible to believe.
FFS stop arguing over thank-yous. Are you all 14? People have different relationships, in some the thank-yous don't need to be said out loud, in others they like to say them. What is right for you isn't necessarily going to work for another couple. Do what works in your marriage and stop judging what other people do in theirs. Grow up you idiots.

Hey all you Republican American citizens who are in the path of Sandy! Just remember which candidate would cut all funding to FEMA as you are sitting in the cold and dark tonight and tomorrow! Because the private sector will do a much better job at handling that. AND, they have the advantage of only handling problems for the people who can pay. Fuck the poor! They are used to living in squalor and probably prefer it. THAT'S the American way! I have MINE so FUCK YOU!

What's up with her anyway? That was uncharacteristically passive-agressive of her. Why not just pea-mail her? (Unless of course she is one of the "nice on the Peaboard, but actually a blog bitch? )
I find it deliciously ironic that Lauren's first instinct is to bail her daughter out of a decision that she made all on her own and yet Lauren is of the camp of "personal responsibility" and "suck it up buttercup" and "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" and "you made your bed you lie in it" when it comes to everyone else and their decisions...
Your "outrage" is touching. "Bin Laden determined to strike". Who sat by and did nothing then?
---------- And once again they trot out someone with a seemingly impressive title, only to find out she's just another Fox talking head/fame whore whose now ex-husband has strong ties to organized crime and went to jail for tax fraud/tax evasion while they were married. Tax filings that she signed, and as an experienced prosecutor should have known better. We're not talking a clerical mishap - we're talking 1.2 million dollars, and claiming all personal expenses as business write-offs.
He, of course, is a lobbyist, Republican fundraiser, and real estate developer. and a criminal.

Have the nutters started yapping yet about how the Metrosexual Black Kenyan Usuper cast a secret Mooslim Hurricane Spell(TM) on the WH lawn in order to declare martial law, suspend the elections, haul all patriotic Real 'Mericans off to the FEMA camps, and crown himself King of the United States of Planned Parenthood?
She goes from saying that they were deemed "most accurate" last time around, to saying that they are 100% accurate.
None of that is actually true. A preliminary analysis had them tied with Pew for most accurate, but a final analysis has them and Pew tied for 9th place.
They were off by 5.8 final margin in the 2010 Congressional race, and 40 points in the Hawaii senate election.

If I stop, will you thank me? Will you send me a thank you note?
The AP is saying that as of today "Obama near 271 electoral votes".
They also note that Romney "continues to have fewer stat-by-state paths than Obama" because he is seen as trailing the president in the key state of Ohio.
I'm surprised to hear this, since I remember grumbling about the AP in 2007/2008 on how all of their writers are right-wing Repubs.

She's a nearly 25 year old adult. She needs to suck it up and get over it. Make some friends, get involved in Democratic politics (muahahahaaa) and grow the fuck up. It's not like she is 18 and out on her own for the first time. What a sniveling fucking baby.
Media wants a tight horserace. In a horserace, they sell more papers/magazines, get more clicks, tune in more viewers/listeners, sell more campaign ads.
The election is decided by the electoral college, not popular vote as they would like you to believe.
If you look at *credible* polling aggregators, Obama has always been ahead in the EC, handily in fact.
Fuck another here let me educate you post from Kim M. Does she ever post anything else? I really need to put her on ignore so I dont have to see her drivel

"Damn that's good" is not the same as "Thank you for slaving over the stove to cook me some eats"....
I thank my husband after every mustache ride.

Alright pennyring, we get it, you have mommy issues. Now go suck your thumb and have a glass (or 7) of wine.
Our relationship is exactly the same #209. My kids also say thanks for dinner and I thank them for unloading the dishwasher, etc.
It's not formal or demanding, it's natural and normal in our house to say thanks and show some appreciation when someone else does something for you.

I'm already starting to see the RWNJs gin up Faux outrage over how the administration is "mis-handling" Sandy. @@
Rasmussen, R-NJ, skews their polls favoring the R candidate all during the race to keep the propaganda machine humming.
Then, days before the election they'll correct for their R bias so they can say "Look how accurate we are!"
Watch for it.
Wait until after the election. Lynloon and Sylvidiot will need shock treatments.
33 - I've read that about them.
I can't even fathom how they missed Hawaii by 40 points!
