a universal sign to say I am sorry when driving. Sometimes I accidentally cut someone off or do some other infraction and I truely want the person to know that I am sorry. I almost pulled out in front of a car once (there used to be a blind spot in leaving my neighborhood that has since been cut down) but you almost had to pull into the road to see oncoming traffic. After I almost pulled out in front of him I waved (trying to say sorry) and he flipped me off and then while behind him I took an exit and he flipped me off again.
As for shopping carts, I honestly don't believe people realize what they are doing. Sometimes people are stopping to talk to someone and don't realize their carts are blocking others. Normally just an excuse me makes all the difference in the world.

I wished I would have kept my
I had a record and a tape. I loved that and played it all the time. The record broke and the tape went through a washing machine. LOL. I was a huge MJ fan back in the early 80s. I got totally turned off in the later years. I will say this about him. He certainly had a style of his own and lived by his own rules. He kept us all entertained in good ways and in bad.
Then why am I not a millionaire? I have wished for that - sm
quite a few times. I have also wished for a few bad things which luckily have never happened. The guy must be a total moron; granted he is probably a rich moron now. People control their own destiny and make their own choices, not wishes, the guy needs a good slap to the head. Granted no girl asks/chooses (or wishes) to be raped and murdered. I guess if some nut ups and shoots in the leg than he chose for the to happen to himself; he must be the ultimate control freak.
I know how you feel, my MIL I know has wished - sm
I was an orphan for years. My mom died 3+ years ago and my in-laws are probably happy about it as now I don't go up as often (dad remarried) but I still do try to go up 3-4 x a year-- 4 hours away. I still get grief from them whenever I want to see my family (dad, 2 brothers). What peeves her is I stay there for a few days; I'd say 4-6 when my mom was alive and it just ate her up though she saw/sees the kids generally every 4-6 weeks and I do go there and have them spend the night too (1 night only and I stay there as well). Holidays were a nightmare until we just told her, no we cannot see you every time, and we just would alternate TG and X-mas between my parents and his parents....she still wasn't happy, tough cookies. Last year we spent 12-23 there, got up drove to my dad's on Christmas Eve, stayed there 1 night, did not even see my dad on X-mas because his wife has to spend X-mas with her kids/grandchildren (that is a sore point with me as it seems I will never see my dad on X-mas ever again--she won't budge); then drove back to my in-laws and spent Christmas day with them.....total pain in the butt. This year though we are not going anywhere though my dad asked up for for Christmas Eve (only), I said no, I would come after on the 27th or so and stay 3-4 days; this way I can visit with my dad and brothers and see some friends as well. My MIL will, of course, get bent but tough luck. In a way I look forward to not having to play this game, and swear to share my kids with their in-laws w/o all the garbage I have to go through.
As an atheist, I sometimes wished I could believe...
...it seems that it would be so much easier sometimes! I mean, think about it. There's this huge support system for believers--instant friends, acquaintenaces, counseling, etc. For the most part, the religious folks I have met are some of the nicest and most understanding--they would never pick fights over if one chooses to believe or not. They are happy, comfortable, and at peace with their lives (or so it seems to me anyway).
I'm not saying I'm not happy, uncomfortable, or not at peace, but there's just this sense of community with churchlife that we atheists really don't have and that's kind of a bummer.
I wished you lived near me...sm
So that you could meet my big baby and get to know him. I promise you would say this is no pit bull. My mom was scared to death when I got him that he would grow up and be this mean vicious killer. Well now she loves him to death. My father-in-law was against us having a pit. Now he says he ain't nothing but a baby. Some may be mean. But I am telling you mine is not mean. UNLESS he feels threatened or his family is threatened. Just a while ago a friend of my husbands was over here and CJ was just head set on getting up in his lap. CJ weighs about 70 pounds and he thinks he can sit in your lap. Lots of people say he isn't a pit is he? I say yes but he is a nice pit. Some are mean, some are not. It depends on the dog and a lot of how it is raised. This dog has been babied like a child from the time I got him. When he was 3 months old I got him and routinely rocked him in my recliner. Now he is just this huge baby.
Oh yeah, always wished my mom was one, didn't you ; )

true, he should have wished you 'Happy
Anniversary' and kissed you.
Does he have the feeling that you are happy with him?
Because if he thinks you are not, it would be weird.
Maybe the big surprise comes in the evening.
Didn't you 2 make any plans?
Friends wished they never got theirs. The dates they wanted

I hate it too and have done similar & have wished at times (sm)
that I had done more. I intend to say something to parents any time I see them being mean to their children. A friend has warned me against this but I think - even if that child just hears someone one time say to their parent to stop and that they are being mean, at least the child knows the way they are being treated is wrong and that someone stood up for them, even for a minute. And maybe it will make the parent think.
