FFF/LFF

MuppetFan

I flame the kid (and his parents) who walk keeps walking his dog without a leash and ends up chasing him constantly and making people stop their cars entirely while he tries to control the animal. This is apparently OK under NH state law because the dog is accompanied. I called when I moved in.

LFF for my aunt who sent me a surprise package of things she found that my grandmother (long passed) made and it really made my week.

I flame the kidlets who live in the townhouses by my apartment for throwing rocks at cars in our complex. Which than resulted in our management company emailing us about it, even though the townhouses are a different company. I also flame my neighbors for not picking up after their dog. Seriously, the complex offers you bags, just pick the shizz up! Love to my FH's aunt for taking my resume and keeping an eye out for a new job for me.

I flame the chick on the listserv for my part of town who got all pissy because people were upset that a dog had been purposefully shot and killed when he was on a walk with his human because another person walking his dogs didn't like the fact that the dog who was killed was playing with his dogs -- she said that no one should be upset about this and that the more important thing was a teenager being killed across town. Um... this is a board for people who live in East Nashville, not North Nashville, and the majority of us have dogs and need to be aware that our dogs could be shot when we're out for walks with them because there's apparently some dude who shoots dogs who are on walks with their humans. Yes, it's incredibly awful that that teenager was killed, but it's not exactly relevant to this conversation, k thx bye.

My flame goes out to anyone who thinks that making their bridesmaids (or OOT guests in the form of Welcome Bags) "Day of" kits is a super idea. I think it implies that adults don't know how to pack necessities. It's a waste of the bride and groom's money. I want this trend to die.

I meant the whole...
Kleenex-chapstick-lotion-hand sanitizer-feminine hygiene products-advil type things

A few local snacks is thoughtful. I don't need anyone to buy me kleenex or advil as a "gift".

I don't think so. That's why I said I think we are supposed to avoid linking them. To me, that ends up being a direct attack because we are obviously talking about that person in that post and not trying to make it a little more generalized.  That's my understanding though, I don't claim to be right.

KnotIrene

Llinking to threads is ok as long as you don't name the person or say anything bad about them as individuals.  It's a fuzzy area until the new TOS comes out but it can happen this week.

My flame: the parents of the girl who has only eaten ramen for most of her life. Just ridiculous.

On the idea of goodie bags for wedding party members: I'm doing it so they don't have to. It's my wedding, I have no problem taking responsibility for making sure they are as prepared as they can be. Why make them pay for and bring stuff they might need when I am willing to do it for them? Most of the stuff I'm putting in them, like bandaids and clear fingernail polish, most people wouldn't want to carry around for "just in case".

I think it was Stage who had an awesome quote about this a few weeks ago.  Something along the lines of being in a wedding must cause spontaneous periods.

FWIW, I have gotten tampons as a bridesmaid. And tons of brides here post that they want to put them in the "Day Of" kits.

I can understand having them as part of an Emergency Kit. . . along with safety pins, a sewing kit, stain stick, etc.

I flame the idea that a wedding is more imporant that the health of family members.  Not only do we have this thread, but also the idea that people can hike up ski slopes or a quarter mile on a dusty road.  I for one have several family members who on the outside seem like they'd be ok, when in reality they couldn't do it.  And most don't want to call attention to it and would try anyway.

I hate the cold, and while snow is pretty to look at it has to be cold to have it. . . so by default I'm not a big fan of snow.  Plus the huge gap.
