Re: Some Friday randoms
whats going on?
Hehe. And to answer your question, I am not wearing pink today as a matter-of-fact!
And you two may continue your debate. Because I'm skipping out of work early to go to the beach. La la-la la la la!
They are doing their evaluation of our needs and I have to send things in. First it was a hassle b/c DH is Self employed and our accounting statement wasn't good enough for them so I had to dig out our taxes from last year. Now I have to get pull my MI Blood statements from July b/c having it on my Unemployment state of what I made wasn't enough. When I had unemployment I had to list if I made an other $$. So really they have proof of what my income was through both places.
That sounds like some bs. It seems like when people really need help, like in your case, they make it hard. But any other Tom, ***, & Harry who doesnt want work and wants to sit on their butt all day, they can squeeze by with no problem.
I figured you were just arguing for fun--me too. No worries
Acknowledging an impasse is still like asking the argument to stop--"we aren't going to come to resolution, so let's just stop talking."
I still maintain that giving up is implied defeat. When she stopped giving evidence and offering reasons why she disagreed with me, she gave up (for whatever reason, lack of interest, time, whatever). For example, if I were playing online Scrabble and don't want to play the game I'm in anymore, the way to quit is to forfeit, which shows up in the stats as a loss, regardless of whether I had the higher score at time of forfeiture.
Saying "I think you're full of $hit, but you won't consider my position" is not the same as giving up. If she had said that, I would have continued offering evidence for my opinion and asking her for more facts to back up hers. It doesn't matter what she meant, it only matters what she said.
I was pretty sure you didn't mean it as a compliment, but I chose to take it that way. After all, I'm investing a lot of resources to sound like a lawyer, for better or worse.
Have fun at the beach! I went for a run a little while ago and it is a lovely day.
I'm going swimming after work so I am happy to hear that it's a lovely day outstide. And I just requested to leave early.
