I’ve had a crummy early week and this one cracked me up! I told my mom and she really enjoyed it despite the ickyness of the situation. I can’t believe she had to gall to say you were rude, there could have been bacteria/diseases feeding off those boogers!

:smack:

Could it have been a bad habit she couldn’t break and is deep down in clear denial? Maybe she could figure out on her own, but gladly you can steer clear from her.

If the sandwich didn’t have iceberg lettuce on it I don’t know what the hell you are bitching about.

Oh my goodness! You people are making me look like a crazy person on the light rail. I’m definitely gol (giggling out loud). Anyway, as hard as it is, I’m going to vote for “cruel to be kind” here. After all as someone else said how will she ever get any friends with a dreadful habit like that. Is it possible it could be some sort of re-potting incident?

Particularly because what she does affects you. Oh, and **Kimbalkid** , you have now become my favorite Doper.
