Friend who thinks they know everything

I have a friend who is very opinionated and thinks she knows everything. A lot of people do not like her but I think we get along because I'm pretty laid back. Our kids take dance at the same place. My child just got asked to be on the competition team. Her child has been on it a couple of years. My kid missed one class because she was sick. This was just a regular class. They have not starting competition practice yet. I mentioned that she would be missing again this week because we are having dinner at nursing home with hubbys father who is 85 and is not able to come for Thanksgiving on the night of dance class. She then says to me if it were gymastics she would not miss. (She is a talented gymnast which she loves more than dance.) My friend then tells me it is not fair for the people who care. I guess meaning the parents who bring their kids to class. My child will only miss two classes, one because she was sick. She is usually always there. My friend got me so mad. I think it was her attitude more than anything. She never knows when to keep her opinions to herself and this is an ongoing thing with her no matter what the subject is. I swear she just likes to argue about anything. Do you think I am overreacting or would you be mad too?

a friend's b/friend died last year, drank, took vicodin...
Am I the only one who thinks...
That it is wrong for the workers, who are contracted to put new vinyl on our home, I just caught washing themselves off after a hard 12-hour day of work in 100 degree weather, in our nice, sparkling, clean pool?!?!?!?!
I am furious. Now we are just renters, but I called the landlord and she is calling the company! Just wondering if Im being a germaphobe sp? ??
They also ripped our grill cover, Im assuming putting the ladder over the top of it instead of moving it.
The first day they came they were sitting on our vehicle waiting for us to come to the door?!?!?!
Not sure if this is rude or not where they are from, but seems like here in the US of A, its pretty darn rude and if they are going to be here, they need to act a little more considerate!
Thanks for listening to the venting!! 
My cat thinks he's a dog
He chases his tail and it's so funny to watch. My other cat who recently died used to beg at the table like a dog whenever we ate. She'd give you a pathetic look and put her paws up on your chair.
Should be she thinks he is
slow- I know better.
and I suppose she thinks she is...
*the moral compass*??? Whatever...they're both a joke!
And I also heard a while back that Trump probably doesn't have any more *disposable cash* as the rest of us...his personal bank balance is average, just like ours! All his money is in property, real estate, *young wives* etc...
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
You have hurt his ego most likely, thinks that only he - sm
should be taking care of business, or else thinks the toy does too good a job and you will not want him. My DH and I have a few different toys, though we do not use them too much, use them more together than I do solo. As stated they can enhance the experience, try to show him that and use it together, or show him how to use it on you, but if that still freaks him out then I guess that is out and just keep it for yourself when he is not around. Mine would love it if I got more into them actually, just depends on the guy and how confident he is in himself I think.
Am I the only one that thinks this could be murder?
When her son died, Anna's mother went on TV and said that she thought he was murdered and said that she thought Anna was in danger. Now Anna is dead.
There are a lot of people who are now going to profit now that both of them are dead. The old billionaire's family now has a pretty good chance of keeping their money. So the billionaire's family could have paid to have them both killed. At the very least, they are saving millions in attorney fees.
If she does still have a claim to that money, her infant now is the sole heir to that, and the remaining parent stands to also get a huge part of that. Her lawyer/husband now will inherit everything if he really is the father. So, he could have killed them both for profit.
Then, there is the ex-boyfriend who wants his kid. He could have killed her off to try to get his kid back and get a stake in the billionaire's fortune also.
And all of them had to know that since she always slurs her speech and has problems with drugs and alcohol, the public could easily buy that it was an accident or suicide.
Does anyone else thinks this sounds
like a joke? What dude who is married comes on here and asks a bunch of chicks for advice about buying a house that he obviously cannot afford?
If this, in fact, is not a joke, then no, you cannot afford $2700 a month plus car expenses, food, baby expenses and all the other stuff on $75,000 a year!!!!
Another thing, those interest only loans are bad, bad, bad. They sound good in the beginning but in 5-10 years when you have to refinance, you are going to be in trouble.
Foreclosures are through the roof all throughout the country because of those silly loans. Just think about it.
Just wondering who thinks
Keira Knightley is pretty? Her face is plastered everywhere, but she always has her lip curled up in a snarl. Anybody else notice that? Does she every smile for pictures?
you don't know that for sure. He says he thinks he's an alcohol.

My DH just turned 70 - Thinks he is 40 ##
I am 69
Hush don't go imagining something!!
That seems to be what Simon thinks
and I agree they will probably do well. I think the guy in the red/orange suit - lol - will be going home. He was sort of terrible. David is it? The 17 year old. Just how much cuteness can one have? LOVE HIM! But I am just drooling over the guy that sang c'mon baby light my fire and oh yes I definitely would! Is he hot or what? lol. I can't wait to see the girls tonight. I just love this show.
I am the only one that thinks something is up with this story..
Things just don't add up..Fourteen years ago she was a virgin, first child is 14 years-old and she was 26 years old 14 years ago, which makes her 40, but later she states she is going on 43. She had a 1-1/2 year-old, 6-month-old and 8 months pregnant..hmmm. That makes her having gotten pregnant BEFORE the 6-month-old was born. Later, she is pregnant and they are 9 months and 1-1/2 years old. Then, she stated that her 12-year-old tonight (keyword here) had a fight with her dad but later this same child is 13, just turned, so I'm guessing on the same day? which is tonight. Just a lot of inconsistencies. I'm not sure why or how someone would make this up but I just find it odd. Maybe someone needs attention.
I swear he thinks he's a dog
He's constantly into everything, and is more curious than a cat! I plan on doing eventing with him, but I want to let him get nice and big before I start riding him! He's going to visit the vet as soon as it cools off a bit more though, he's started thinking with the wrong brain if you know what I mean!
I let him out into the front yard to eat grass a lot because we don't have a lot in the pasture and I think he gets tired of his round bale. Well a couple of weeks ago I had my truck loaded up with some rubbermaid boxes of stuff I was taking to the church and I came out the next morning and the lid was off of everyone and he had dug through EVERYTHING!
I love him though, he's my kid! I can't wait til I can get my other boy in with him, but he's still at my moms until we move somewhere with more land. This is a picture of him with my mom. I call him Danny Boy. He's a 17.2 hand warmblood. (My mom is 5Ǝ so you can see how big he is!)
what the kennel thinks
When I was a kid a spoiled dog got "Gainsburger"
Now the kennel I take my dog to thinks my dog is spoiled because she gets raw chicken.
I think it is all brainwashing by "experts" and I adamantly disagree about vast improvements in our food industry for humans or animals.
My son says he thinks Walmart
pizza is the very best, and he is my super picky eater. We get them often. The pepperoni is quite greasy but you can dab off the extra grease with a paper towel. If they have the canadian bacon thin crust, grab one and enjoy! I recommend those above all other flavors. Yum!
I don't give a hoot what anyone thinks.
My ex is black and I now have a beautiful biracial son.
Me thinks we have a bit of a snob here. BOO-HISS (sm)
 nm cigarette in the mouth - not behind the ear, no beer in hand, no wife beater T. Yes, we really do have it going on. Live right on the lake and are happy as clams.
Me thinks you need to find some integrity. nm

DH thinks the Chlydesdale box was cooler than ever
Only he does not think it should be used for something the kids can tear up. He thinks we should use it for something else, maybe something to store blankets in or maybe his deer hunting gear. So I guess I did pretty well at that G-sale. I even bought Little Touch Leap Frog book with all the cartridges for $18
I think the kid is cooler than his father, who still thinks he
xx
in other words, he's saying what he thinks he should say in public.

if he states he thinks he may be an alcoholic, he is asking for help

I don't really think Gene Simmons thinks he should
be fired from anything. I could not believe his arrogance. I was really glad that Donald got rid of him. I was sort of scared he might keep him just for ratings.
My SIL thinks it is hysterical when her children
make really loud remarks and start coughing aroung smokers. I think it is totally rude. I don't allow my children to do it cause I personally would never do it. You are so right about the fact that we don't openly criticize others for what we think are bad habits. It is your life, do what you want. Just wanted to share something that was funny, we went to a benefit dance last week for the American Cancer Society and I went outside to use my cell phone. I had to walk through all the smokers, and I laughingly said "Dear God, this is a cancer dance." Everyone laughed so I don't think anyone was offended and it truely was a joke. I don't like to be around cigarette smoke, but I also don't drink in front of certain people, so who am I to say anything?
Maybe Lee owns the company and she thinks
she is PERFECT? Who cares! 
Ask your religious leader what he thinks about
it -- isn't that why they make those tithe envelopes with stubs on them? I claim all deductions that I have a record of.
Dear Ms Thinks she is responsible
Truely funny how pitbull owners go on the defensive with what other dogs do. I am sure animal control knows how to be around and handle but even these people are attacked by these dogs. I rescue animals (not these as I want no responsibility for their acting out)but where I rescue these dogs are not adopted out, just put down. Even the people who are in the "know" so to speak do not want to be responsible.
Lucky and anyone who thinks differently

i love her. I want her to keep saying what she thinks forever. It is so refreshing. He is a pig.

Point is the owner thinks it's fine so why not?!
Same for dogs or cats or birds or snakes.
Having a pet is a personal choice and it should be kept on personal property or areas specifically designed FOR having pets.
Me thinks she got the boot ...Barbara Walters
She said she just wanted to do this show after Barbara Walters asked her to, because she loved Walters. She said she never really wanted to do daytime TV anymore, that they wanted her for 3 years instead of 1. She said she has some agreement to come back and do episodes on autism and depression. She is to leave at the end of June. Something tells me because of her big mouth, the powers that be aren't giving her the bucks she wants because they're secretly hoping she won't come back fulltime.
My daughter is 7 and thinks they're disgusting - LOL! (sm)
She sees them in the store and says, "yuck!"
Hubby thinks it is weird that I collect
so many shoes. I just don't see his point.
Funny - my cat thinks hairball remedy is actually a
PS: Re: the puking - If your cat eats dry food, are you feeding a high-quality variety like Iams, Science Diet, or Royal Canin, and not the junk-food? (Meow-Mix, Deli-Cat, etc.) That stuff gave a former male cat ureteral calcium stones that ended up killing him. A couple weeks before he developed urinary blockage, he started barfing alot.
A trip to the vet for a blood test might be in order, too. But if it's hairballs, be sure to add lots and lots of combing-out (even for a short-hair, to get the undercoat) to the hairball remedy routine. :)
Hubby thinks the animal has a loose screw
as he hisses and runs during the day but yet sometimes late of a night the cat will go to him, sniff around him and, although reserved still, is not the cat in the terrible 2s like during the day. My hubby thinks he has a mental problem (not my hubby, of course, but the cat!)
Guess I'm the only one who thinks this is a real airhead show with

like a cow, he does what the guy in front of him does; sees it in the media, thinks it's real

Disagree-it is NOT human nature. My husband thinks that too (sm)
My husband covered his fishing pole in the back of his truck one day because he said some "average Joe might walk by and take it" because it was just too tempting with it showing. Average Joe wouldn't rummage through the truck and take it - that would just make him a thief, but if Average Joe saw a fishing pole there in plain sight, he might take it. That is wrong to say that you cannot expect someone to come into your home and work for ou and not take anything, that it is human nature. It is NOT human nature. It is stealing and it is wrong. I am not perfect by any means but if I was working as a housekeeper I would not take anything that was not mine.
Well said and I guess the other poster thinks the people on the news are all racist as well! lol

No, he is not..I have a friend...
coming to feed the cats (live in the country, have 8 outside cats!) and 3 inside cats. I feel bad making her come and mix food for him...we live 25 miles from town. A vet told me that he will either eat or just drink water and would be okay...but I will worry about him! I have been cooking extra chicken, turkey, etc. for him..my husband says he is spoiled!
I had a friend who had those and
apparently they just observe them. Maybe you should get a second opinion if you are having pain. Hope you feel better. 
too bad- my best friend
has 'the gift.' That is about the only way I know to put it. She cleans my house for me and she can do in an hour and a half what it would take me all day if not two days to do. And it just looks so clean and bright and shiny when she is done!! LOL I mean, there is clean and then there is CLEAN!! And when she folds my laundry I don't even need to iron it later! We have the best deal worked out- she has one of my vehicles on a sort of 'permanent loan' and I pay the insurance on it and I also try to pay her a little extra here and there, and she comes over and helps me keep my house clean and helps me stay on top of my bills. I have a pretty bad case of ADD.
If you were in this area I would maybe lend her to you for a while, LOL. I know she would like to find just one or two 'regulars' that she could clean for to make a little extra money on the side.
Friend
If she is really a good friend, stick with her. REAL friends love you warts and all. If her behavior is causing you true anguish and she is an acquaintance... go your separate ways. Money comes and goes -- true friends don't.

My friend's SON. not MOM!
Sorry for the typo. I am a BAT brain today!
Friend? Some friend! sm
Yes you should be mad, but only at yourself. Giving $$ once I can see. Maybe twice. You have been used by this 'friend'. Doesn't matter how nice you think she is, you have found out otherwise. You are out $$ which you generously gave in thinking it was being used to help her out, yet she has taken advantage of you and therefore, that speaks reams about her character, or lack thereof. I would be disappointed in her and mad at myself for falling for her sob story. I'd tell her exactly how I felt from the heart and would end the friendship since it was based on lies. She has the characteristics of a con woman. Time to cut the losses and move on...and learn!
friend
If it is something that is opening her up to being hurt in anyway most defintely i would tell them. It is their choice then to decide what to do. You know how some parents really shouldn't be parents and others are great parents!
friend?
I actually had to call a parent before. My daughter had asked ex-friend to stop writing things about her in her online diary which she did for a while. When it happened again, with a statement to the effect of you asked me to stop writing about you, too bad!, I called the mother and had a little chat. Never happened again. In this case, she actually used my daughter's name so I brought up the fact that it was libel. Print out the bulletin to show parents if you have to.
Friend
I would want to know if it were my daughter. It might get complicated when you first tell them and could cause problems but in the long run you may very well be saving her life. Please don't hesitate to tell the parents.
been where you are, my friend -
I am so sorry. I know this is hard, but here is an idea to try. Have your vet get you some Buprenex to administer at home. It is a very small amount of liquid you give via syringe inserted between her cheek and her teeth. You shoot it into the mouth. Takes less than a second and is painless. It is absorbed nearly instantly. It also causes far fewer side effects than most pain killers. This has worked like a charm when my cats had to have teeth pulled, for one that had all its teeth pulled due to severe stomatitis, and one who had oral cancer in his jaw. Try baby food (the meat types) and AD canned mixed with Pedialite to get food in her and keep her hydrated. You will know when it *is time* to let her go, but please give these things a try and let us know how it goes! My best to you.
Thank you - about my friend (sm)
She was a Christian and throughout her illness she asked for prayers for God's will to be done, not for her healing (although many of us still prayed for her healing). Many of the people posting on here blowing the horn about what great Christians are, are not acting the way true Christians should. I will admit to everyone that I am confused. I can't answer the questions about the suffering that goes on. I am not going to say that those people suffering just didn't have enough faith. The fact is you are not going to get what you want just because you pray for it. You might and you might not. I still believe, but many things in the world still don't make sense to me. I think somewhere along the way, we have gotten the message confused. I posted a link above about some little children who I think have it right.
