I wondered when this thread would start.
LOL! But nobody, except Crazy Mike, is very committed to saying what they hate. Let me show you guys how to do this.

I really hate guys who act like they are totally interested and then slowly, but surely, try to pull the "let's be friends w/ benefits" routine.

I really hate people who are snobby about or try to impress others w/ their money or wildly expensive material objects.

I really hate the feeling of nausea. I would much rather just vomit and get it over w/.

I also really hate concerts on week nights. I got TOOL tickets, but they are playing in the middle of the wk. and that kinda' sucks.

Why even have a concert on a weeknight? You would think these people would know they'd make more money on weekends. Then again, it is Tool, and they'll sell out just about anywhere anytime- I saw them last time they were in NY.
I hate sidewalk.
I also hate Artex, Pennsy hiker and Goretex. I just wasted a weekend with them, and I want it back. They were all like "Ooo, let's laugh about this and that," and I'm all like "I shoulda stayed home, my bathroom at least looks like a real privy." There was plenty of room in the shelter, but screw those guys. I slept as far away as I could. :)

newgie:

On the nausea thing, you can always mix a teaspoon of mustard into a glass of water and drink it. That will usually induce vomiting. Heck, if you're already nauseated, just thinking about that might work.

On the "guys who want to be friends with fringe benefits" thing, you can always mix a teaspoon of mustard into a glass of water and tell them if they don't drink it, no fringe benefits. If they do drink it, tell them after they're done puking that they have to do that every time they want fringe benefits.

On the concert in the middle of the weekend thing, you can always mix a teaspoon of mustard into a glass of water and drink it at work the morning after the concert. After you're done puking, you can claim you're sick and get to go home early.

On the snobby people, sorry, some people are just @ssholes. Not even a teaspoon of mustard in a glass of water can fix that.

I'm with you newgirl....
I hate it when I'm told "it's not you, it's me".....!

I hate drivers that don't know where they're going, and slam on their brakes in front of me.

I hate not having a car that's reliable.....yet.

I hate it when I feel naive and inadequate.

Oh, and I really hate seeing a blue sky, feeling the warm breeze in the air, KNOWING I have to be indoors ALL DAY, when I'd rather be HIKING!

Suddenly I realize
That a bunch of my hate posts might lead some to an incorrect conclusion. Just so we can all be clear . . .

I haven't had the "fringe benefits" scenario happen to me in a long time, I was just saying that I hate it when it happens.

I'm not nauseated now either. I just know that I generally dislike that feeling.

I'm not late in the female way. I was refering to be late for an event or work or something on those lines, MapleLeaf.

Okay then, are we all clear. Bit, thanks for all the mustard advice.

Moochers
I really hate when people mooch off of others. They pull the "poor me" routine that they can't afford to buy anything. Everyone chips in and gives them what they want only to find out that they are really spending their money on the latest jeans, high priced VS undies and expensive concert tickets.

And just so you know . . . I own one pair of almost 2 yr. old Levi's. And it is absolutely not your business about my Vicky panties.

I really like that so many people on this board were so generous w/ their used gear (I know this is the hate thread, but I just wanted to say it again.)

I hate that these "I hate" threads degenerate into nastiness so quick.

My earlier post about the mustard in the water trick was just my Monday morning doofus-ness. Nothing about anybody's lifestyle should be read into it.

It does work though...

Who's jumping to conclusions? Did you see yourself? If you did, I assume that it must be the way you know you present yourself to others.

it was just a joke. there was nothing personal here and I was not trying to hurt anyones feelings. newgirl had a right to responed that way.

I hate it when you return to work after the birth of your first child and they inform you that they can't renew your contract because of "Vendor Management" even though they said they would right before you left. Hey Man, at least you got a week and a half left.

Hey, how's the new baby anyway. I totally forgot to get back to you and sharing some baby clothes.

She's doing great. What a doll.

Treebait took her to the doctor for her second look-see and weighing session. She's up from 5lbs 15oz to 6lb 13oz. Her latest trial and tribulation is dealing with being gassy.

My brother was over last week and I was holding her while he was looking at her. She made one of those looks of extreme concentration/effort, hiked a leg and "braaaack".....big fart.

My brother looks at me and says, "Yep, thats your daughter."

Sheesh.

brings back memories... I like when I would get my son all dressed up to go visit grandma in the outfit she bought for him when YUK (insert stinky stuff here) then have to change him..

Human, they make a little medicine for baby gas. It comes in a bottle w/ a dropper. Treebait can ask the dr. on dosage. If it seems like it makes her uncomfortable or cranky, I would suggest using them. They worked great for the little fartin' Newergirl.

Simethicone...wish I could remember the brand name we used, but the generic works as well.

Does the medicine work for adults? From what I hear a few TT'ers could use it!

Technology contractors aren't human, we are resources like your stapler or copy machine. Use them until they break.

If we were human they would offer us full time positions with benefits. So instead we charge huge hourly rates.

I hear that Smiley. I really do.

Human, agreed. It takes a minute to kick in. You can also make her a warm H2O bottle w/ a little, tiny drop of peppermint oil. If you aren't doing bottles yet though, some people think you shouldn't introduce it.

Banks are sick. You should see my "test" accounts. It would scare the hell out of you and you would never use one again.

Peppermint oil? Interesting idea. Kids are tougher than folks think.

newgirl, is this newergilrs first Halloween? if so what is she going as?
Hpm, are you going to dress up the little one?
if yes then what?

I think babies dressed up are just too cute!
but most of them are pumpkins..llooll

Mylicon drops is the name of the medicine. The doc says they don't really work too well on babies. My observation has been that they make it easier for her to fart.

I've heard of using peppermint oil before. Reminds me of the description of the mother of a friend who always had to use Phillips milk of magnesia. She farted with a hint of mint. There's an image for you!

The doc suggested giving her plain water after feeding. Said it makes it easier for her to burp, and clears out her mouth and throat.

Maple, she was 3 wks. old on her first Halloween. She was . . . a pumpkin. Last Halloween she was a giraffe and she's going to be the same thing this yr., because the costume still fits. We pretty much only go to Grandma's and her auntie's anyway.

No, it certainly wouldn't be any one's business if you didn't bring up your undies preferences frequently. Who cares???

That's right Treebait. I could not remember the name. I thought they worked okay, but it is best to go w/ the dr.

Freetohike, I brought up that I like a particular line of underwear that Victoria's Secret makes. I didn't bring up how I was able to purchase them. I was also trying to be a little funny on the subject, in order to lighten you up. I don't want to allow myself to be totally taken in by a flippin' troll, but seriously, you have no clue bud. I don't know what your glitch is and I'm sorry you are apparently so offended about the way I handle my dough (which you have no idea about). I wanted to go on the Montanapalooza, but I could only save enough money for certain gear (mainly the smaller items). I was honest about that and out of that I found alot of generous people w/ used gear to give away. Soooo . . . anyway, I hope you'll be over this soon.

I really hate when people get pissed about things they don't know much about and then assume a different name and take pot shots.

It's low, if you don't have the stones to say something to someones face then you don't deserve to say it

Freetohike I think you are a coward
