To the ladies of E, I apologize

direy25 · December 2010

It was not my intent to bring the May 2011 invasion.

laurenclaire1386 · December 2010

Nah, I don't think it was your fault. You paged a regular poster over here then the crazies came. It happens. Besides, they're professing just how much they love glitter shitting puppies, so I seriously doubt they're gonna ruffle any feathers over here.

opalsky007 · December 2010

PMs. They're a beautiful thing.

I'm deleting since it became a little too abusive for my liking.

mkrupar · December 2010

Thanks Opal. That shouldn't have turned into that. That's why I PM'd Direy.

LC - You are one of the Regs over here I respect a lot. Thanks

squirrly · December 2010

I hadn't gotten to the end of it yet. No fair, Opal.

It seemed like a whole lot of "you're ugly." "No, YOU'RE ugly." "NO YOU'RE UGLIER."

And then a little, "Well, I'll DO WHAT I WANT. IN YO FACE."

I'm all for heated discussion when it's warranted, but I didn't even see an actual issue. Was there an issue? Did the whole timezone wackiness hide it from me?

mkrupar · December 2010

I saw it bree. Great job on the score!

direy25 · December 2010

Thanks Opal and LC! I also have to say I respect the ladies over here. I don't post much because I don't have a lot to say, but I do tend to lurk a lot.

Squirrly, in case you missed it, there was also the classic I FEEL SORRY FOR YOUR FI's!!!

It got bad. I watched it for a while and decided things weren't taking a turn for the better. Can we all just go back to our knitting now? This was dumb.

Yes I did :) I'm glad it went well for you!

alixzafiris · December 2010

I feel sorry for everyone's s/o's. Mr Mandysmear puts them all to shame. Damn him.

mkrupar · December 2010

That's great. What class was it for? Are you working on a degree? Masters? There's so many girls going to school around here it's hard to keep everyone straight.

I'd love to go back and get my masters, just not sure what I should do it in.

It's hard for our s/o's to live up to his perfection. Mandy won the lottery on perfect Hs.

Based on Mandy's Christmas gift, I must concur.

Arb/Opal, I figured it was headed there.

[QUOTE]It was for History of Graphic Design. I know nothing about graphic design, but I needed a 4000 level writing intensive class to graduate, and this was honestly my only option. I'm graduating with my B.S. in Human Services in 2 weeks and am planning to go to grad school for marriage and family counseling after the wedding. What did you study?
Posted by bree4305[/QUOTE]

International Hospitality and Travel/Tourism Management. I guess an MBA would be good. It's all encompassing.

laurenclaire1386 · December 2010

I should've just left well enough alone and not posted in the thread at all. It had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with me. Just because I think something is douchey doesn't mean I need to say it, in cases like this.

What do you do with your degree, if you don't mind me asking? That field always fascinated me, but I don't think I could deal with the demanding schedules that most jobs seem to have.

I work in the hospitality industry. Can't really say what exactly because of the rules of the boards. I can PM you if you'd like to know specifically.

There's lots you can do with it. I have friends that work with travel agents booking groups to travel overseas. I have other friends that own their own companies. A lot of them work in hotels doing various things, accounting, F&B, chefs. I also have plenty of other friends that go their degree and now have jobs that have nothing to do with the hospitality industry.

It is tough on the hours if you work in operations, ie: Front Desk, restaurant staff, banquet staff, housekeeping. But there are other departments that pretty much work on a nine-five basis.

Dude, don't be. It really wasn't all that interesting. Only slightly amusing.

mkrupar · December 2010

It really wasnt a whole lot. In their FFFC thread one of the posters said she didn't like TY cards and didn't see a point in sending them. I just asked her why she wouldn't thank the people who spent their day celebrating with her, That was deemed to mean and flaming over there. It's just escalated from there.

mkrupar · December 2010

Yeah, it just kept going. Their FFFC thread, is flame free, but FFF over here isn't. So they thought I was flaming her. Aplogies were given for any misunderstanding, puppies and rainbows were brought up, and Direy paged me here about the avatar, and that's what brought them over.

squirrly · December 2010

THAT's what started this mess? Oh my.

Rosie109 · December 2010

All I can add to this mess is if I asked FI if we could register for an Ipad he might die of embarrassment.

Rosie109 · December 2010

Ok that was mean. I have had a few glasses of wine and the meanness is coming out.
