I was reading to my baby from a story book and was shocked to find this story in the book:
Summary: Eagle swoops down, steals Rabbits baby bunnies to feed to her eaglets. Rabbit gets her buddies to chew the roots of the tree that the baby eagles are in. Tree falls down killing the baby eagles.
Last sentence Quoted from the book: The mother rabbit was comforted by this, to think that although her children were dead, so were those of the eagle.
WTF????????? What was the author thinking? Do they thing they are teaching good morals?
What the hell ever happened to stuff like "Are You My Mother?" and "Captain Kitty"?

Someone I don't know is messaging me on Facebook because they think they know me. They asked me:
"Are you still doing the same line of work? (scaffolding)"
Please provide humorous response to said question.
Debbie Downer: I wouldn't reply to them with anything. Sending people messages in facebook allows people to see your limited profile for a period of time (3months or so).
If someone messaged me, I would assume that it is a company or something trying to get a hold of my information.
I think that people should have to take internet training before they're allowed online. Nothing's worse than an old person that discovers the internet and then starts emailing the same old, recycled jokes from 1998.
This older guy I know (my mom's ex b/f that I'm still kinda friends with) just got the internet about 6 months ago. I made the mistake of telling him my email address and now I get about 10 stupid email jokes from him every day. Jesus H. Christ, I was out of town for a day and a half and I just opened my email to find 22 (twenty f'ing two) emails from him.
I don't have the heart to tell him that I've seen every single joke he's ever emailed me. Like, come on. Who hasn't seen the one where the wife asks the husband to hand her the hair dryer and he's handing her a gun? Or the one with the map of the mall where the guy goes straight to gap to get the jeans and the girl hits every store?
Seriously. It's getting out of hand. He's officially dethroned my dad as the guy that sends the most email that I don't open. (my dad is pretty good at sending me religious and political stuff that I'm not interested in whatsoever)
Actually, my dad is funny. He takes no notice of who sent him something or whether someone on his contact list is also on the original emailer's list.
He's got a friend that I guess I'd say that I'm sorta friends with now, and that guy sends out funny, fresh jokes fairly regularly. Thing is, I'm on his contact list, so I always get the joke from my dad's friend, then the next day my dad forwards it to me again. Like clockwork. Every.Single.Time.
Sometimes someone here posts a good scientific link that I know my dad will find interesting, so I email it to him. Then the next day he'll forward it to me with some kind of note saying "Hey 4x4, you'll find this interesting"...
Thanks, Dad!

I volunteered at a charity walk on Saturday. The wind really created havoc, and I felt bad for the organizers.
Also, while it is appreciated that you raised a lot of money for the cause, showing up 15 minutes late then browbeating volunteers to get something we ran out of 25 minutes ago will not endear you to anyone.

Set up an email filter that directs all of his emails into a different folder. Once a week (assuming he ever sends you anything worthwhile), quickly scan the headers and respond to any useful emails. Then, batch delete everything in the folder.
I remember it took me a couple tries to finish it because it is quite long, but very well written story. I love the element of folklore and fable in it. The characters are pretty simple, but i became pretty invested in them anyway. One of my favorite books of all time.
Someone got mad at me because I gave them the finger for going the wrong way down a traffic circle. lol
How do you go the wrong way down a traffic circle? Is he/she that dumb/illogical?! He/she doesn't see everybody going in ONE direction around the circle and thought... hmmm... maybe I should go that way too?!

It's a circle within a business park, so not a public street. But it is clearly marked as one way, and there are no left turn signs at each entrance... but some people try to shortcut the wrong way because they are too lazy to drive an extra 25 metres.
