Since when is screaming and shouting _by her parents_ child endangerment?  
She simply would not take the garbage out.

Happy Monday all! You all have some really good imaginations, btw, I can’t even begin to think what I can ask **CP**! I’ll give it a shot, though.

Dear **CP** :

I am in need of my monthly natural foods fix, and can’t decide which store to visit: Whole Foods or Trader Joes…or maybe the Natural Food Co-op! Help please!! 🙂

Miss semi-vegetarian

LOL I actually prefer TJ but will probably go to Whole Foods as they have a wider selection. It’s too bad that they are so expensive! The co-op is good but they are expensive as well. Why are the foods/things that are supposed to be good for you the most expensive?! Now that’s a really good question!

**FCM** , definitely get that checked out. You might have to do a sleep study. There is a kind that you can do at home, it’s not too bad.

Sending good thoughts again to you, **Rosie** that everything gets straightened out and back on track!

Hugs all around to anyone in need.

**{{{gotti and DH}}}** y’all just have to catch a break soon!

**rosie** want we should ship a Sri Lankan spider to the title company?

Dindin is et. 'Twas good. I threw in some field peas with snaps just cause. I also have chikin sallit made. All this and I irked too. Irk from home is not too bad sometimes.

Dear CP,

Are you popular?

Do you park in cars with boys at night?

If you choke a Smurf what color does it turn?

What’s the difference between normal ketchup and fancy ketchup?

Signed,

I like to ask annoyin’ questions

Dear CP,  
I was told by some well meaning busy bodies that I would cause early labor if I continue to walk around and not laze around the house. Should I heed their warnings or continue to blow them off as I have been doing? (I am 34 weeks and counting!)

Yes, please.

How do you get a fucked up bastard of a title company to face the facts that they are obligated to shell out this money?

I hit people who call me ‘girl’. So _smack!_  
We’re getting all the annoying calls today. The guy in the office next to me is avoiding somebody about something and they’ve called three times. The second time it was a different number but they mispronounced his name in the same way.

Got a call of someone wanting to talk to the company President, using his first name which he never uses. He’s going to call back tomorrow and I’ll again not transfer him.

We have some magazine company that’s trying to get a told of Bob. I actually keep transferring them because he’s never in his office. Apparently they don’t leave messages. I’m really inclined to ask them how long they’ll call.

Dear CP,

Why so much cat hatred in the beginning of this thread? :mad:

Also: do I get offended too easily? 😉
