I hate people who think they are better/smarter then others because
they have been or are curently going to college. Just because you
decided to go to college does not mean you are smarter then me and the
fact that you throw it in my face simply means that you only went to
TRY to prove you are smarter. I chose not to go to college right away
because to me helping my family was more important. How does that make
you ANY smarter or better then me?

Some people are cut out for college and know it would be a waste of
money and time. That does NOT make you ANY better or smarter then them
just because you went to college. Some people are just so full of
themselves that their way is the only way and you are wrong or stupid
if you don't agree with them.

There is so much more I could say on this but for now I will finish
with this final note. Please realize when you are reading this that
I'm not against going to college or anything. I am only against the
people who THINK that going to college is what everybody has to do or
that going to college makes you better or smarter then anyone who
hasn't.

I told my grandmother I didn't like her smoking in my car it went
something like this....

Me:mamaw I don't like you smoking in my car. Would you please quit.

Mamaw: Why is everyone out to get me? If you didn't want me to come
down you could have just told me! I can't believe you are taking your
mothers side over mine. Fine then have it your way. This is what I get
for trying to help you and give you my car for free. I'M GOING
HOME!!!!!

Me: HUH?????

She left and didn't talk to us for a week. The next time she came up
she STILL smoked in my car.

Well, you wouldn't want to hurt her feelings. I guess she isn't
thinking straight because she could easily be saying something like
"granddaughter doesn't like me to smoke in her car, she feels it is
unhealthy, so I will respect her". But, having taken care of my 93
year old grandmother for 4 years before her death, I KNOW I would
never have asked her to quit doing anything she was doing (she didn't
smoke though). She was old, she was very giving in her younger days
and she deserved to die a peaceful and happy death. So, no matter how
crazy she got, no matter how many nights her insanity kept me awake, I
did my best to make her smile every day (even though she was driving
me NUTS!).

Next time you need to be in the car with your grandmother and she
smokes tell her you plan to write a poem about her. And that the poem
will express how much you would have liked to had more time to spend
with her(quality time) while she was still alive. That her love of
smoking stole precious time from her that she could have spent with
the ones she loved,instead of smoking and harming both her and all
those around her.Maybe,she can cut back on her smoking around you as a
sign of her respect and care for your health. If nothing else,put
several boxes of opened baking soda in the car to absorb some of the
smells and to give her a visual reminder of what steps you need to
take to cover up the odor of her habit. good luck After all,we are
constantly told about the harmful effects of smoking to both the
smoker and those around them.It is always on televison and in
articles.She is probably aware of the effects and it is just a hard
habit to stop. But,she could control when and where,maybe.

Why is it that people feel they have to be jerks to get their point
across? If you act like an @ss to me, I will act like one right back
at you. What comes around goes around. The question still remains
though. Why do you feel you have to be an @ss in the first place?

Also, why do you have to point out every single spelling mistake that
people make when it doesn't even matter. Obviously you knew what was
being said. Even if you didn't, you don't have to point it out by
saying someone is stupid because of it.

Then there is the fact that these same people get mad when someone
points out their mistakes. I just don't understand some of the idiots
on this site.

Hi everyone. No great words of wisdom or really anything interesting
here so if that's what your looking for don't bother reading any
further. As you may have guessed from my nickname, I love poetry. I
have several books of poetry that I read quiet often but I also write
poetry. No I don't have any published. Curently I have only let a few
close friends and my boyfriend read any of the ones I wrote. I'm very
shy in person but feel that I can be more open on the internet so you
might not guess it right away. Well I gues thats all. Have a good day
all
