I'm hungry. My office is so cold. I'm still wearing my scarf and my uggs. I'm also contemplating buying a space heater - building codes and fire hazzards be damned. I read an article in the NYT about the biggest loser camp and now I wanna go.

I'm getting a space heater up in this b*tch too.

Bethie is on my hate list now.

I haven't read it all yet, but Cleo's response is the most poignant and well written response I've ever seen in regards to Floyd's constant marital woes.

BobLoblaw

lol Cali. That did make me laugh.

I think wearing heels makes me look skinnier.  They also make me feel like a big giant.  Counter tops are too low!  Toilets are harder to descend upon!  Other people are too tiny to look in the eye!  CHRISTIN SMASH!

There's new Floyd marriage dramz on ML if you're bored (and no, Fallin, I'm not linking).

Lord have mercy. Her husband (and apparently Papie's) are douches.  I understand not wanting to leave when you have kids. Trust me. But if he's treating her that way....get the eff out. Why perpetuate that cycle with your kids, what is she teaching her kids about marriage?

I'm glad mine isn't a douche. Just maybe not the best fit for each other.

FallinAgain

I have to believe that Floyd gets deep, deep personal satisfaction-akin to the best orgasm ever- by playing the martyr.

ChristinS

Ugh.  That's just depressing.  I know D can be incredibly stubborn and twist what we say when we argue.  It's infuriating.  Luckily we very rarely argue.

Someone touching my belly button skeeves me out.

I don't understand why Floyd is surprised everytime he does something new. At least she is not sleeping in the same room as him and trying to do make some changes. Holy Hell it is about time.

I was discussing TTC plans with my boss. She told me to have fun.

Yes, and all those dillholes are just like, "oh what an azzhole". Who isn't tired of this girls drama already? She's the one who wanted to wake up to a "crime scene" in her bed so she'd know she wasn't pregnant. Which means she's also still doing this guy. So, sure, treat me like shiit then fcuk me. And not use birth control either I guess. Oh, and the my kid told me my tits look good or whatever post. I can't deal.

And this, my friends, is why I don't leave the bubble.

I feel the same way when I wear heels and I'm only 5'3".  It's hilarious.  Lowering myself onto a toilet feels like it takes twice as long and I get bored on the way down!  I also find it necessary to runway model walk when I wear them.

Maybe Floyd and her H should have another baby to see if that fixes their marriage.  

TSD

I don't wear heels but they certainly are a trick to make you look skinnier. Also, the pointier they are, the skinnier you look. But, I don't know how you people wear them all day. Do you sit all day at work? Have bionic feet? I'm also always afraid I'm going to take a header. I wore heels to a wedding last February. The drunk brother of the bride grabbed me off my chair to dance and I went down like a sack of potatoes. Mortifying. Luckily I have a pocket husband so I don't feel the need to wear heels ever. I'm more of a patent leather loafer in funky colors person.

I'd say a good 98% of them are.  They know it's hopeless to talk sense into her as much as it is for any of us to try to talk sense into Toot.  

But right now I'm more interested in whether Papie's husband is an ass or not.

Badgerengr

When I (or someone else) sticks a finger in my belly button it makes the bottom of my feet tickle.

MadameS

So wait, this arguement is over a GTG? People want to hang out with her and inevitably discuss all her woes? No, thank you.

Novemberrocks

I'm with you TSD. Her h sounds like a supreme ass and I view the reluctance to go to counseling as the end of the story...if he doesn't want to fix the relationship, then that's that.

AngieP900

I just went to read it all. And laughed at everyone's immediate dismissal of TSD's comment. And Verona being called a retard by Floyd and ignored by everyone else.

It just seems...so exhausting.  Thinking of life being like that makes me feel like I can't breathe.

First world problems: Shazam is not going to be finished downloading before the song some kid is playing outside my office is over and now I'll never know what it is.

EDIT: this post is not about Floyd! LOL! Sorry, I posted before reading. I don't even know what the big deal is about the fight with her H. I barely know the situation and it sounds standard to me. How can you get enraged by something so predictable?

TSD

Oh, I didn't even go back to see my dismissal. That happens all the time. I get sent somewhere from here, I can't stop myself from commenting, then forget to check out the ensuing backlash. Plus, I'm not willing to fight over it. I think that Floyd is a complete moronic tool from the stuff I've read here and there about/from her and I don't get the rallying around/for her. If someone acted like that here and posted that shiit, especially a regular, she be schooled immediately, not coddled with "ooh, what a douchebag. That sucks. Kick him in the balls or do you want me to do it!?" WTF IS that?

Just figure it out the old fashioned way -- type whatever lyrics you can grasp into Google and see what pops up.

It seems like more than 2% petting her hair and giving her all the attention she wants. I'm sorry, but no, she doesn't deserve better as long as she continues to play the game with him rather than doing something to get to the better.

Definitely more than 2%. If someone really felt judged or like people weren't going to feel sorry for her, she probably wouldn't continue to be a regular. There were plenty of people all boo-hooing with her about what a douche her H is and wanting to see her at the gtg.

FallinAgain

I think we coddle some, more than we used to. But I think after months of the woe is me posts, we'd at least stop engaging.

L_Woods

Gosh dang it, I only got to page two before it was gone. Stupid work.

Anyway, I agree with TSD.

Yeah, I agree with this. If a regular I liked was going through the same thing I would still be telling them to leave, but in the nicest way possible. But, after it never ended and few measures were being taken to fix it, well...

I mean, really, it is her decision. If she wants to wait around in hopes that he will become the man she is hoping he is, then go for it. But Jeebus, keep it to yourself. There are plenty of things I would not share with this board, no matter how much I like everyone.

I'm all for sharing.  Share and share away!  Why not?  But people need to stop offering Floyd advice.  It's been years of this.  She's obviously not listening.

this totally. As long as you put up with bs, you get what you deserve. There has to be a level of personal responsibility here. If you are unhappy with the current situation, it's up to you to change it. Hand wringing gets old when there's no action attached.

Oh Cali. Still hanging onto that fantasy that no one here holds back!

HELL

FUCKEN

NO

There have been several known IRL stalkers here; "why not?" is a question with an obvious answer.

Which is why I Do. Not. Get. Floyd. At all.

I'm not deluded -- I know everyone holds back and it annoys me!  How can I be all up in everyone's business when they won't share?  And it's assy to mock others while hiding all your mockables.  I want to know everyone's real level of crazy and not just the crazy we choose to share.
