I am going to scream at someone soon. I am effing sick in Barcelona. I knew this would happen again. It hard to find tea here and there is no kettle in the hotel room. A Starbucks would be great. I would say I am so outraged right now you don’t want to be near me. Actually I am just sick with a fever and runny eyes. I can’t go anywhere without getting sick so it seems. I am really hot. I’m sorry that you aren’t feeling well again, Elannah. I hate being sick on travel and not being able to crawl into my own bed at home. I hope that it passes quickly! I know it’s just a cold and my dad has been sick. The whole tour everyone was sick. Surprise I got sick. I have vitamin C to take so I will load up on it later.

I never used to get outraged on a daily basis. After all I am a stiff upper lipped Brit.: : I would moan about the weather, crap politicians and non disabled people trying to tell me what to do. blab blah blah. Then our friends across the pond got a new ruler (he thinks, of the world) and now I get outraged at least a couple of times a day. Thanks Donald can`t wait to NOT meet you when you visit the UK

Mockrage and outrage are two different things. Mentioning outrage or anger always reminds of this scene from Judging Amy. As a child welfare investigations supervisor for nearly a quarter of a century, it always hits home for me. Scroll to around 1.30 for Tyne Daly (Maxine) at her finest. link to Maxine on Judging Amy about anger

Oh FFS. Give it a rest. Did that post really make you feel better? If so, you're a crotchety old biddy. Lauren we know you ,you come here and teller us how relax you supposedly are and how we supposedly aren’t but the reality as this place is toxic to you and bring the worst out of you but I told you that months ago Lauren is LovetoColor. How did I miss that. Makes sense. I need to pay better attention.

Oh well, if people feel that they simply must be outraged all the time for the next four years, that's their problem. No skin off my nose. But then, keep in mind that that constant state of anger and upset leads to a decreased immune system. Think cancer, stroke, heart attack. No matter how much you rant, Trump will be president for the next 3+ years and I'm betting another 4 after that. If you can sustain the anger that long, more power to you. you *may* just be correct about this guy being around for the remainder of his term and not much that can be done about that (my fingers are crossed for mueller...). however, i would suggest the BEST way to avoid another 4 after that... IS outrage over each and every lie and the hatred that he spews as a steady stream from his mouth (and lest we forget...as if we could...his twitter account).

Thank you. It bothers me a lot, since I’m an older person. I have noticed that it seems to be perfectly acceptable to use age as an insult by both sides. Nice people who would never call someone fat often think nothing of using “old” to denigrate someone else. It happens a lot. I'm very sorry. I in no way meant my comment to be a blanket statement about anyone other than specifically who it was directed to in this thread. I'll watch my words... Oh, I wasn’t even reserving specifically to you. I was commenting on a trend that I have noticed. Lots and lots of people make remarks about how old someone is as a put down. Thank you for that, though.

Well, hell, I am bipolar so sometimes I am outraged for no reason whatsoever. This post is petty. I wish we could just all not engage. Or at least let's diffuse the situation with humor. Something to not get dragged into what was just supposed to be an insult toward people who have very legitimate concerns with the leadership of our country. Debate is one thing, just slinging insults for the sake of slinging insults is ridiculous. Peas, we are better than that.

This. Although I still entertain the idea that Lauren shares this I.d. with mapchic/Ruth Margaret. It used to be a popular red pea strategy to share alters so that it was hard to pin down/identify the voice. Wait, what? ? That's what I said!!!!! I had no clue.

Insults are slung around here on a daily basis, and not just from this poster to which you're referring. The insults, swearing, and name calling has gotten out of control. There's a great big group here that think they're above it all when in reality they do it the most.

My friend's mail person took all day to deliver a package to him. And all the outside feather people decided to go visit the neighbor's yard. They have started 3 huge scratch patches. Good thing their yard is prairie crap grass.

Rarely. However, I do manage a fair number of days without displays of dripping condescension and passive aggressive demonstrations of my superiority complex. Today was apparently a failure in that regard though.

So, what has all this self-righteous OUTRAGE got ya? Trump is still President. It's very likely that Ginsberg is either going to drop dead or become even more senile than she already is so Trump will still appoint at least one and probably two more SC Justices, he's still going to revoke the deal with Iran, he's going to change taxes and if the RHINOs like McCain either get defeated or get their head out of their asses, that nightmare called Obamacare will be overturned. So, enjoy your outrage. Haven't you heard? Obamacare is dead, per Trump. It's all Trumpcare from now on, baby. He might try to dodge it, but his actions and his party's control of the House, Senate, and presidency make it his. The implosion, as he so delightfully puts it, will happen because of his executive orders. It is his choice to use them rather than seek solutions after failing to repeal and replace. So that nightmare is about to get worse. You seem to get great joy out of a president who has no empathy or apparent decency. I guess we will see where you are in a few years. I have no doubts that your personal healthcare will be stable and fine, as you had a professional career and I'm sure have your ducks in a row. But others will not be as fortunate as you, and the numbers predicted by all non-partisan analysts (and partisan ones too, of course) make it clear that Trumpcare is going to be devastating.

Said the one who claimed to be new here, never posted at the old board and loves scrapbooking, yet has not posted one single thing on the scrapbooking board, jumped right into the political threads by belittling those she disagrees with, throwing out the troll label to many people she disagrees with and joining in pile-ons with glee.

No? elaine you can't tell everyone I bully and follow you around if you behave like this. No wait you did and it worked lol! I am samiam. What did you win?

I didn’t know that simply asking a question, which turned out to be true, was bullying or behaving badly. I respectfully ask you to step back and take a look at how you define and interpret others’ behavior.

For what it's worth I don't think samiam and Olan are the same person. I think her 'admission ' was sarcastic. I could, obviously, be wrong though.

Samiam just joined this month - although she apparently has long-term knowledge of the community - and seems to have the same interests/outlook as Olan. I obviously could be wrong too. In any case, it doesn’t matter and I shouldn’t have asked.

How do you care for your family in a way that a woman would be proud of yet still manage to spend so much time online. If I start one thread or get into one "engagement" on 2peas it takes productivity out of my entire day. I've sat having the last word in the lobby of the gym missing out on my favorite machine!! Seriously how do you manage? Yet you constantly attack my mental stability. Reclaim your time Elaine. The moms outside of your computer may find you insufferable but they may not.

Peabody is an autocorrect of moi. At least I think it’s an autocorrect. Okay. You would think she would have overridden auto-correct after I asked about it. The last sentence is complete word salad. Some people probably shouldn’t pea on their phones. Or drunk. That was the first time I've posted since July. You have quite a chip on your shoulder.

If that was not you, you have my abject apology and in recompense my take on my listed sins on a certain pea's spreadsheet: she said my opinion couldn't possibly be worth anything because I am from South Africa (so therefore Nelson M's opinion must be worthless too, right? This was my reply to the board) then when I posted on a racism thread she asked for my opinion, presumably so she could bash me. Just another day/ week / lifetime in pealand
