Toys for dogs? Do you know how many human children have no toys? You ever hear of a toy drive for DOGS? My brother’s family is coming to NYC next week! ---

Are they friggin’ crazy? Didn’t you tell them about all the fog and bus-stop muggers? Jeez, I’m glad you’re not my sister! We had a light dusting of snow yesterday. ---

WOW! A light dusting of snow in December? Alert the presses! I’m getting two extra hours of work today. ---

Some people have a life (but you already predicted that response). I’m smiling anyway. ---

Smiling for no reason? Right, try doing _that_ in public. Only four and two-thirds months til spring! ---

What a grinch! At least let us enjoy the damned holidays before, thanks to climate change, we have to suffer from the horrible heat wave we’ll experience this coming Spring. Santa Claus is coming to town! ---

How can an unreal character come to town? Next you’ll be saying Jesus is going to show up. It’s cold out, but very nice and sunny. ---

You seem to be a little at war with yourself there. How can it be cold _and_ nice? I’m enjoying a little peace and quiet right now. ---

Does that mean you finally stopped listening to all of those voices in your head? How’s it feel to be sane for awhile? We’ve had a ton of unexpected expenses recently. ---

Stop your whining for a damned moment and let me do the math for you: a ton equals 2,000 pounds and at the current exchange rate that’s only about 1,580 dollars. So, all this bitching and moaning is for less than 1,600 bucks in unexpected expenses? Give us a friggin’ break! My stock portfolio doubled in value this year. ---

So you’re up to, what, fifty bucks already? Way to go, Mr. Gotrocks! I’m suffering from mid-winter gardening mania. I NEED to plant something! ---

Manic to watch plants grow. You need help. Plant your buttocks in a therapist’s office. I’m in the mood. It happened. I feel like decorating the house tomorrow. ---

You had me at “I’m in the mood”, but lost me when you talked about decorating. My sister and I are exchanging movie quote text messages back and forth. ---

Yeah, typical millennial and I’ll bet you are both sitting in the same room … anything to avoid having a functional, meaningful dialogue with another human being. The SDMB is the font of all known wisdom ---

Really? Children are dying from lack of adequate TV programming in developing countries all over the world and you have the audacity to selfishly complain about the House of Cards cast? BTW, it’s Kevin Spacey that sucks. My aunt turns 103 next week.
