FI was reading the seventh one in the ATL airport and texted me that he was scared it was going to make him cry and he was going to be really embarrassed in the crowded ass airport.

Where did I ever say I wanted anyone to care? Are new kids not allowed to post in the judgement thread?

it's sad, I can't even remember how jake died. I'm getting old, man.
I love those books too. it surprised me, because I've never been a big sci-fi series fan. I think it's just because the characters are so good. and the story is so awesome.
sometimes my H and I sit around and talk forever about if they made the movie, who should play which part. we're dorks.

[QUOTE]I judge the wedding I have to go to next week.  First the invitation came to Mr. and Mrs. jnic (I laughed and called my parents to let them know they were invited not us) it's my FI college roommate which makes it more effed up.  a) we aren't Mr. and Mrs. for 2.5 more months and b) we will never be mr. and mrs. jnic...idiots. I also judge this same couple for giving the impression to all of their bridal party members (a few of which are also close friends of mine and fi and in our wedding) that their s/o would be invited, then calling two weeks ago to let them know<strong> "no ring, no invite"</strong> so the one guy has to leave his gf at home (they live together) and the other already paid for the traveling for his gf of a year (who are talking about marriage) <strong>so she's coming and sitting in the hotel.</strong>  They are leaving right after the toast, again, idiots. Lastly I judge the bride at this wedding for inviting 100 of their 120 guests and giving the groom a 20 people allotment. Why am I even going to this wedding? Because I RSVP'd yes and hate to make them pay for my plate and not show up :-(

[QUOTE]I judge this site. And all the silly acronyms. And the holier than thou attitudes. Not that I don't enjoy it, or enjoy a bit of controversy .. but it's really frustrating for a semi-newbie to grab hold of the situation and assert herself as awesome too.
Posted by superherogal[/QUOTE]

This.

Also, I judge people who continue to pop out kids but biitch and whine that they have no money.  Then treat said kids like crap.  Then continue to try and get pregnant.  Then tell me (who chose to have one kid and stopping there..) that I'll change my mind and have more kids.  No I won't, because I know I can't afford it!

And on the dog discussion, I also judge those people who are obsessed with their dogs.  And, I judge my FI who, on the very same day that I gave birth to our first (and only) child said that he loved his dog THE SAME as me, and our baby.  That burned my ass SO bad and still does to this day, (even though he eventually took it back).  Maybe because I'm a cat person.

I know right!  FI and I are sooo upset on their behalf.  Not to mention I was nosy and looked up the cost of plates at this place to see exactly how bad their situation was, it's $15 a plate...seriously you couldn't add the two gf's for $30.  I really wish I didn't have to go now.

She judges the board, but likes us.  Or soemthing like that.  She doesn't not like us?  That means she likes us. 

No?

WHere are my cookies?

smokeybailey

Sorry.  There is nothing that you can say that would ever make me think that buying from a breeder makes sense.  How do you think they maintain the "bloodlines" and the "best" of the breed?  Cull the puppies that don't fit the mold.  Ridgeback born without a ridge (which has its own problems)?  Culled.  They like that word better than euthanized. 

Have you ever seen a purebred German Shepherd and wondered, well, why can't that dog stand up correctly?  What's wrong with his legs?  Oh, hey, frog legs on a GS are the best of the breed!  Oh and what about a bulldog?  They can't even breed by themselves anymore.  Or Cavalier King Charles Spaniels that don't have enough room in their skull for their brains?  Breeding and the definitions of "best of breed" in of themselves cause problems for the dogs.

Education is the key.  I am a huge proponent of rescuing or adopting.  My sister has an anxious border collie mix that she got at the shelter.  They are working through her issues.  I almost had my face bit off by a crazy Springer Spaniel that was probably a little too inbred.  Problems come in all shapes and sizes but I cannot support a system (breeding) that is exacerbating said problems.

[QUOTE] I also judge the shelter-only folks. ALL dogs need and deserve good forever homes. ALL. It doesn't matter if he came from a shelter with pre-existing issues, or if he came from a breeder with a well known bloodline. The dog needs a home regardless. 
Posted by superherogal[/QUOTE]

Did you read? Cause I think the point went right over your head.

I also don't think anyone here is shelter-only. If you need to get a rare breed or have a good reason and research breeders, awesome. I've just never seen the need to go to a breeder, ever. And like Brie said, too many people say, "I really want a boxer. I know, I'll find a breeder!" Or worse, look up breeders in the paper/online who have puppies for sale.

superherogal

Oy.

Sarcasm's a bitch.

I think he was run over by the van that hit stephen king too? His chest was crushed or something like that and had to be buried in the woods. Im pretty sure oy lost it when that happened and that only added to how I felt.

Please tell me who you think should play what role. I think jon hamm should play roland. I saw a pic of him looking all gunslinger-ish and it was PERFECTION.

you're calling me fat aren't you? AREN'T YOU??

MattsPenguin

On the dog front:  my aunt has a dauschund from a rescue, and he definitely has some aggression issues.  On the other hand, we have a rescue, and she is the absolute sweetest dog ever.  And incredibly well behaved, at least in the house and where we can control out of the house.  The rescue that we got her from truly cares about their animals and did a THOROUGH background check on us to make sure that we were ready for the responsibilities.  They did a home visit for us to meet her and for her to meet us.  Granted, I was reallly annoyed with this long process (and it seemed to be very indecisive), but it was nice knowing what we were getting.

Also, my friend runs her own rescue and works for a shelter in Indiana.  She will find you any dog you'd like.  I admire her tenacity to speak for animals who have no voice.

P.S.  FOUR MORE POSTS TO GET RID OF THE "N" AND ON TO THE "B"

Possibly. But maybe it's just the pants. Pleats just aren't a good look.

I judge all the tourists who can't freaking drive flooding my city right now. I (and a dozen other cars) was stuck behind a guy going 20 in a 45mph zone the other day and he REFUSED to pull over and allow the line of cars behind him to pass as it was a double yellow and we couldn't pass him unless he pulled over. I was fuming.

I judge the idiot woman in her fucking Range Rover this morning on the freeway driving with one hand while holding her coffee cup in the other (seriously, you can't just put in the cup holder and drive with both hands?) She wanted to pass everyone but couldn't so she kept changing lanes without signaling, because, you know, she was holding her coffee. Then I saw her take the one hand she had to drive with off the wheel to fuuck with her radio. ARGH.

I judge my FI's cousin's Fi's parents (are you following that?) for sending us a wedding invite without a way to RSVP. It's literally just an invite with the date and time/location of the wedding on it. It would require us to travel to OR and we have no way of letting you know we will be there? wtf?
