If you called someone "wacky," and they took offense..
...even though you meant it in a good way, what would you say to them?

10. Like you need to tell us that
Surely you credit DUers with a tiny wee dash of observational skills.

9. I would tell them I wasn't trying to insult them, and that
in many cases - including his/hers - I considered "wacky" to be a good thing.

11. I'd say something like
"If you thought that was an insult, darling, you should wait until you hear the real thing."

21. Wacky is offensive? And to think all of this time....
Next time I would say, "No offense but, you big wacked out nutball!" Perhaps then they will understand the subtle sweetness of the endearment. :hi:

26. Visuals usually work better for me...especially now that I've switched
Edited on Thu Mar-31-05 11:08 AM by MrsGrumpy

I am sorry you were offended by the harmless little word harmless, oh scary harmful one.

28. Don't believe everything progmom posts, dear.
Edited on Thu Mar-31-05 11:16 AM by jswordy
I was not offended.

:shrug:

Are you trying to cut back on caffeine? Is that why the switch? I'd like to do that, too. Object would be to get off it altogether. A friend has done that, gone through the withdrawal headaches and all, and says one feels so much better after a month or so away from the speed juice.

Might make a good thread to ask if anyone has cut out caffeine in their lives, and if they felt better afterward. Hmm.

29. Yes. I am doing tea instead of coffee and hoping to make the transition
to just plain old water. I have not been good to myself and have paid for it in spades. So after reading a book called "Natural Cures..." I'm trying to restore some of the girl that I once was. So far, I feel about the same...with headaches. :) I'll be your crutch if you'll be mine.

I didn't read the original post so I guess I am guilty of posting blind. :hi:

30. I drink like 8-10 cups a day right now, so I know when I quit...
...I am gonna have super strong headaches for about a week or so. I have not been able to psych myself up for them yet. But I have BP isues, and I know caffeine makes them worse.

BTW, I loved your post about your kids and all. It was wonderful!

31. Thank you js. I've spent a lot of time just realizing how short their
childhoods really are. My daughter is on the verge of adulthood, and not wanting to spend as much time with us. The little things we do are all the more precious because of it. :hi:

25. I called this guy a 'freak' once.


I totally meant it as a compliment, but he almost ripped me a new asshole.
