Seriously. My parents get pure bred Golden Retrievers and they have problems, they had a dog die at four years old. We have a purebred dog that we rescued from being a show dog and a stud and he has a heart murmur.
This cw has been getting on my nerves and this was the straw that broke the camels back. I'm walking on my lunch now instead of dealing with her crazy
thats a good plan, you dont need that kind of person in your personal time. You have to work with her, keep it professional, but limit it to work stuff, clearly shes a fucking dickhead and you are totally awesome.
Thanks to the drinking thread last night I've realized it's been like 3 years since I've been a successful member of society. Hopefully I can manage to stick with volunteering and turn that around. But even still I don't have my first volunteer gig for another month. Ugh. I'm having a massive pity party over here. I think I'm going to go for a walk and hopefully I'll feel better.

EFF. THAT.
@led, I saw that comment last night, and it was some seriously misguided bullshit. You know that. I know just from what I've heard on here that you're a good wife to your husband, and I watch you constantly offer support and friendship to the women here who need it. I don't know you in your day to day life, but I'm willing to bet you go about life with the same compassion and kindness you show here. THAT makes you a success. PLEASE do not let yourself be dragged down by other people's misguided, arbitrary ideas about what makes a person "successful." If being unemployed or struggling with mental illness makes someone an "unsuccessful" member of society, then I was profoundly unsuccessful for years of my adult life, and am pretty damn unsuccessful now, too, because I still struggle. You are a success. Believe that.
I'm working a registration table for some luncheon thing.
They sound like a great organization. How'd you get in with them? I just checked out our local division (or whatever) 's website and didn't see any information about volunteering. :(

Guys I haven't been hanging out today because of work, ughhh. Anyway I had to share this gem. My cw who I have lunch with (there's a group of six of us) says "I think all rescue dogs should be put down they have too many issues and waste a lot of resources". This was after another cw talked about how she loves her rescue dog. If I wasn't at work I probably would've called this woman the c-word.
I think everyone around me knows better than to say some shit like that because of all the foster dogs/puppies that go through my house, but if someone said that to me I would have throat punched them so hard.

My case manager told me about them. I just walked in to their office and asked about volunteering. A lot of what they had was public speaking, so I'm still not sure h how much I'll actually do with them.
Why is every single movie Liam Neeson exactly the same? Every movie he's in is the EXACT same plot! Just saw a preview for his new movie. Same as his last 4 movies!
To my introvert internet friends, is this accurate? I think even as an extrovert, I've done this before.
I'm an extrovert and I'd say something like that. Did you know Almonds are a member of the peach family? In the 1830's ketchup was used as medicine (<~ that's fun at a BBQ)

MH and I joke that they should just call them Liam Neeson does Airplane. Liam Neeson does Batman. Liam Neeson does CIA. Liam Neeson does Train.
Rama I hope your day gets better, but I would still so have the pasta even if it does.
@led I think our chapter of NAMI does a glow walk in the fall and need volunteers for check-ins and putting balloons up on the path and such so that might be an opportunity your chapter has as well.

My good friends had this opinion and spoke highly of their purebred retriever and his AKC paperwork. Saying typical stuff like how purebreds are the best, and have better temperament. We signed up for the same advanced behavioral class and my lab/sharpei mix Tanner was better behaved and faster at picking up the tricks. After 8 weeks, they commented that they would consider a rescue after seeing him in class! It's just sad that this misconception is still believed by so many people.

ETA: I really need to learn to proofread
I think I must have missed it too. @led I think you are an awesomely intelligent, funny, and kind person. Don't listen to those people. (whoever they are)

((hugs)) I saw that conversation getting started but didn't see how it ended. I'll echo everyone else and remind you that you're an awesome person loved by many.
And ((hugs)) to cabgirl, too. It's hard when someone means well but still manages to say something devastating. Hopefully your mom understood how you felt.
I need to ask my boss for a new project but he has had someone in his office or been in a meeting for the last day and a half. He just went out into the plant. Guess I'll keep being a PW.

It doesn't help that a lot of purebred owners (at least in my geographical area) think they're the shit and think their dog is the shit because it's purebred. This past fall I was at the dog park with my pup - some lady showed up with her Chihuahua and must have used the word purebred 25+ times in 5 minutes. People like her give other purebred owners a bad name.
My dog happens to be a purebred lab that we got from a breeder. Do I think that makes him better than other dogs? No. Not one bit. Obviously I think he's the best dog ever because he's my dog and I love him, but it has nothing to do with who his parents were. And I certainly don't run around bragging that he's purebred.

This! I love all dogs but sometimes dog owners use their dog as a status symbol.
Apparently I got paid today! So every other Thursday instead of every other Friday. Weird.But! That means that we can eat out tonight! Yay for no cooking! I hate cooking. I like baking though.
I cannot cook. I lack the ability to make things savory. Even the simplest concepts of cooking elude me.
But I can bake ALL day, and even new things come out tasty. I don't get it.
I can follow a recipe. I'd just rather not. Maybewwe'll grab subway or something
I love to cook, hate to bake; however, I plan to attempt to make Carol's cookies from TWD this week. Hoping they are good.
I'm glad I'm not the only one trying this I had success with Sumbitches from HIMYM, so I'm hopeful for Carol's cookies. (Otherwise we know what she'll do to you...)

You are taking HUGE steps, even if it doesn't feel like it.
