[QUOTE]Alright, I got one. While I like Button, every single one of her 'morning thread' posts is an update on her cat. I mean, I know the cat has been sick, but if it's just a comment on what the cat ate for breakfast, I really don't care. And now I feel bad, because I love pets.

Fair flame. I really just have needed to get it off my chest- FI insists she is fine even when she isnt and when I try to talk to my mom, she tells me that the cat has cancer and I should just stop trying to help her. But I can see how it can be annoying.

fair enough, but post other things too, you know?

It comes across as self centered when people only post about themselves and their lives and don't seem to be interested in other people.

Winnertag1 · July 2012

I read these threads but i dont really get involved cause I dont think I've been here long enough - or know people enough to say much.

About the school - FI & I have been saving up for awhile & have put quite away, I never said we were both going to stop working, I was going to stop working full time & pick something up part time (I will be working for an insurance broker). FI will work FT till the January because he has a smaller course load the first semester. We have saved up quite a bit that we intended to put towards a house, but decided we should wait on the house & do this instead.

I apologize if my posts are too long ,I will try shorten them & I dont mean to come off as self centered and only whine about my life, I do try to participate in other conversations but it does get looked over, but I am relatively new. But to be honest, I think i have only posted 3? times about problems in my life, correct me if I'm wrong so I'm not sure how people have gotten that impression.

And I dont know where the 'foot stomping' comment & running to my month board came from - I have better things to do with my time.

Alas - this post ended up being longer than I wanted it to.

also. i don't eat grits with breakfast. that's the first time i had them and i thought they were nasty. i had never seen them before. it was in montana at breakfast with friends. some people put cream in them, some people sugar, some people salt and pepper. it was weird.

but i had them at a restaurant H worked at. and i was in love. fried egg, chorizo and shrimp. damn.

now i can't stop talking about or thinking about grits. thanks a lot.

I'll admit, I'm nicer to H when he's doing what I want him to do, but I would never bust out a clicker.

One day, he was being really annoying on purpose, so I squirted him with a spray bottle and said, "No. Bad husband." He laughed really, really hard. I haven't done it since then, since he's my husband, not my dog.

I mean, positive reinforcement is one thing. Clean the house while I'm at work, you get a BJ. But clicker training? Why get married? Just adopt a dog.

laurenclaire1386 · July 2012

I wonder if Pippa's husband realizes he's being trained like a dog. Surely he's more intelligent than a dog and Pippa is exaggerating. It reminds me of when Sheldon trained Penny with chocolate on BBT.

you flamed me one time. Because I told goobers that she needed to get her husband on the same page as her with the horrible FMIL dog abuse thing. And I phrased it poorly, so you interpreted it as I was saying she should sit back and do nothing until he was in agreement.

I was flamed for trying too hard early on. And I was flamed for the whole NC GTG thing a few weeks back.

laurenclaire1386 · July 2012

The entire notion of training your spouse is like, whoa out there. Normal people just tell their partners when their partners are driving them batshiit crazy. "Goddammit stop it" is more effective for H than a clicker. In my experience.
