Not saying you're wrong but sm

Never put anything in writing or read it first and erase it before you send it. I was in a similar situation with a family member demanding we send monthly money to someone and I wrote back in anger years ago. This has been used as a weapon over my head for 20 plus years. I wish to God I hadn't written that letter. But I can see where you would. I just learned not to do this either by snail mail or E-mail (or even a note left around the house). They could print it out and bang you over the head with it and you don't deserve that. I know how angry you were and should be, but I hope you learned a lesson. I know I did, I am a good person and I made myself look bad by responding that way. They say, "respond but don't react" and it's very difficult when you deal with dysfunctional people. I only made myself look bad and them look like the poor innocent victims. I never apoligized though as they had no right to ask for such a thing in the first place. Feel better! Apologizing via e-mail would only give them more ammunition. Let is go and learn from it. I did.Families - better off without them!

you're welcome but you were NOT wrong...sm
I do believe they also threw panties at Englebert Humperdink....it was just that it began with Tom Jones of that music genre and I consider Tom and Englebert to be similar types of crooners....*S*
So you were NOT wrong I don't believe 
I don't think you're doing anything wrong Lee (sm)
Sometimes people put a one-sentence reply in the subject line only and the rest of the message is automatically blank. If they can't fit the reply in just the subject line, sometimes they even use the space provided by the "name" line to finish the sentence.
I think the proper etiquette is to write (sm) for "see message" in the subject line if there's more to be read, or (nm) for "no message" to help speed things along for the reader so they don't waste their time clicking on something that isn't there.
A lot of folks don't identify themselves the same with every post because they want to stay anonymous, which is cool. I'm old school...I'm always "Hayseed" because whatcha see is whatcha get. I could use my regular name, Kathy, but there I'm sure there are a gazillion Kathy's and it's just easier to keep things straight that way. 
Sorry, you're wrong!
And YOU haven't followed the whole chain of events. Do not judge lest you be judged.
Not sure you're looking at it the wrong way....
What the OP posted was not about depressing the women of today or making them feel worthless. It is an encouragement to take time for yourself and saying that's the healthy thing to do. It's saying not to feel guilty or worthless and that you SHOULD care for yourself. It's also saying that those feelings are perfectly normal, as most women do feel that way. It's a positive approach saying, yes others feel the way you do, but it's not healthy and you should try to change that thought process.
I will say that, though it's a double standard, I know some women who take all the time they need for themselves, and basically people think they're unbelievably selfish. I
If you're saying it's wrong to conclude
that this has to be caused by psychosis or at least a terrible drug reaction, I don't agree. The scary thing is that I suppose such a thing could happen to any of us. But I would not believe somebody could get all the way through all the training to be an astronaut and be able to fly missions and then have this big of an "error in judgement." It is much more than an error in judgement.
You kidding me?! You're not wrong at all!
Someone should sit by the tree and hand out one present at a time...an older sibling or adult. They should read the gifts tag on it for the child (you know, who it's to and who it's from) and hand it to the child to be opened and subsequent reaction captured in memory or on film, thanking the gift giver verbally or hugs (the best thank you, in my opinion!), and then proceeding to the next gift. It should be a family event, well, at least that's my opinion of it, not pillage and plunder.
On-looking family can be kept busy with munchies and beverages.
Man, I would be such a Nazi of a parent, I swear! 
You're very wrong. The Bible is very much up for
I had a baptist pastor tell me that I should not marry out of my race and that it's in the Bible... So what do you say to that?
Believe what you want and interpret it how you want, but then don't say that others are sinners when you are not GOD!
You're SO wrong! Animals DO think and feel! - sm
A dog is a *pack* animal, and when it doesn't live in a wild pack like a wolf, and lives in the company of humans instead, it considers the humans it's pack. This includes the hierarchy, too. This is why many people have no control of their dogs - the dog has established itself as the *alpha* dog.
Dogs thrive on the company of their family. A *lone wolf* is an unhappy wolf, and a dog abandoned in a yard for weeks on end (or even in an apartment all day) is definitely an unhappy dog.
you're dead wrong - in the words of Emma Lazarus
Give us your tired, your poor
Your hungry masses yearning to be free
- Emma Lazarus
Perhaps you and all your ancestors would have liked to be put *back on the boat* - you *sound* intolerant and the only thing I'm intolerant of is INTOLERANCE.
I agree about minimal dairy, but nothing wrong with grains IMO (unless you're a raw foods faddist
or have some sort of special dietary needs. Seeds and nuts are great, but keep in mind that they tend to be high in fat so shouldn't be used *too* heavily.
You ead my response wrong, terribly wrong
I am trying to ask what does she think it will help, not being nasty- tell me and I will try this. I would stand on my head and gargle peanut butter if I thought it would help - I wanted to know why a letter? They are thumbing their noses at the courts - commanded to appear- I was there and they werent.
You're not 'low-class', you're FUNNY, & a good writer!
Which is often the case then someone is the first to cast stones!
You're surprised? I'm not. They're not going to stop voting....
as was mentioned in a prior post. Imagine if they succeed? They just may.
At least you wait until they're cooked! LOL...we're raw dough

Sounds like you're doing great! We're also making out...sm
daughter pay for gas and insurance when she starts driving. She hasn't started driving yet because she doesn't want to get a job to pay for that privilege. That's her choice. We're also making her pay 1/2 of the fees for the state required driver's education course.
Please don't take this the wrong way
but after reading your note and the way he is "flirting" - sounds like he's thinking below the belt. Unless that's what your're interested in also he could be trouble.
Um, wrong!!!

what is wrong with you (OP)???
How in the WORLD is playing peek-a-boo with your child ICKY?? Wow, hope you aint a mom..........................
it is very sad, but you are wrong about these
horses being exploited. I have horses. I have been part of the horseracing business and my husband's life was spent riding racehorses. These are very well-taken care of animals, and by nature love to run. They generally work for minutes a day (except on race day) and then are pampered the rest of the time. There are exceptions, but these horses are very much loved by those that work with them. There was absolutely no monetary benefit to keeping Barbaro alive. They could have collected huge amounts of money through their insurance had they put him down right away. They could not breed this horse; Tb's cannot be AI'd. They tried to save this horse because they loved him and he had poured his heart out to run his best. Just yesterday after watching the Sunshine Millions races, i told my husband that they've tried long enough to save him, that it is time to put him down. I agree with that decision.
wrong -- MOST don't end up this way.
Many of these horses go to working ranches, competition of other kinds, like barrel racing, etc. There are also numerous organizations set up by the racing assocation and others to find them homes in the general population. If you really want to know where much of your packing plant horses come from, look at the BLM, wild mustangs. They sell here for $25. yup, even bred mares. So these people that have no heart, buy em and turn them around for a profit at the packing plants. BTW, a feed lot is generally a term for steers in a concentrated lot being fed-up for slaughter, and horses are used there to work the cows.
VERY wrong! What would
you think if you caught your husband in the same situation. It seems to have become an addiction. Stop now cold turkey. Read the 5 love languages book and see if you cannot reconnect with your hubbie or go get some marriage counseling.
Is this right or wrong?
I am a female in my early 40's and I have never been married and do not have children.
With every job I've had, some people feel the need to interrogate me about why I've never been married.
I never bring up the topic myself.
I usually answer, I've never found any one, maybe I will meet someone, etc.
I recently started a new job and have told co-workers when they ask if I've ever been married, I tell them I am divorced.
Now, I barely hear a peep about being single, whether these folks tell me they wish they were single or complain about their kids.
I just think it is rude to ask someone why they have never married. I would never ask someone why they married their spouse.
Is this right or wrong?
It's definitely wrong.
That you're so good in bed that limiting yourself to just one man would be a crime against humanity.
Then ask them, "Which one is YOUR husband, by the way?"
So everyone else was wrong, U only one to get it right? nm

You are so wrong
As a former teacher, I'm appalled at your ignorance. Teachers start at salaries lower than truck drivers. Of course it varies from region to region, but generally it is about $28k to $29k. Some of these positions require a master's degree or a specialist degree, which is above the Bachelor's degree.
As far as the hours teachers work - they are really never off duty. They have papers to grade, meetings to attend, clubs to sponsors, committees to serve on, parents to phone, write, email, and and websites to update daily. Then, there are the workshops and/or college courses they have to attend to keep their credentials current.
Summer vacation? Who teaches summer school? Who works 1 or 2 jobs to supplement the lack of income for the 2 summer months, to keep up the student loan payments, take a college course or a workshop mandated by the school district or the state dept of education?
Then, there is the fact they aren't allowed to be human. If a teacher is seen drinking in public, smoking in public, or smacking their own child's bottom, they are bound to be pilloried by some self-righteous citizen.
You need to shadow a teacher for a week and then coime back and tell me how easy the job is and how well paid they are.
If it were easy, everyone would be doing it and we wouldn't have the teacher shortage we have.
Did I mention the number of teachers who are assaulted and permanently injured by their students every year? I'm waiting for 60 Minutes to do a story about that instead of the extremely rare but so publicized cases of teachers having sex with their students. Anyone else notice that it's the female teachers who get the publicity? I know a lot more male teachers having sex with their students - of both sex - than female teachers.
Nothing wrong with that-
it sounds like my friend who comes over to my house and hangs out with me and cleans my house for me. Sometimes I give her money when she needs it and I can afford it; Also she drives my other car and I pay the registration and insurance on it. She is unable to work and the amount of disability she gets is impossible to live on.
There's something wrong with her, all right! nm

Nothing wrong at all with it sm
The Clydesdales live at Grants Farm in St. Louis, a wonderful place to take children. The Budweiser story is rich with American history between President Grant and one of the founders of Budweiser's daughters - we took our 12 and 7 year old on a tour of both Grant's Farm and the Budweiser factory. The horses are beautiful a part of American history dating back into the 1800s. I would guess this box is worth far more than the $20 you paid for it.
My 2 cents.
So what's wrong with that?
How about what everybody uses wrong - me and I.
And it is always her and I or my husband and I or my daughter and I, no matter what the context.
Are you going with Mary and I to the show? WRONG!
She gave a nice gift to my husband and I and the kids?
WRONG!
And everybody does it and it drives me crazy. The RULE is so simple, just drop the first person or reverse it in your head, and there's your answer.
Are you going with.....ME?
Are you going with....me and Mary?
You wouldn't say, Are you going with I? Nor, are you going with I and Mary?
Please, people!
Thank you :)
lol
No you were not wrong, and if it were me (sm)
you better believe I'd be touching his stuff, moving it around, whatever would tick him off the most. Childish? Sure is, but so was what he did.
I think you are 100% wrong on this
The stories we are hearing now are so out there. I was born in the 40s and never, ever heard such crap when I was growing up, young teenage, young adult and so forth and I have always stayed up with the news, etc.I was just complaining of the same this morning about what people are doing now, school teachers having sex with 10 year old, people throwing their lives away for ?? I can honestly say these things NEVER happened in the 50s, 60s, 70s like they are happening now. I have lived these years and remember well. I have been aorund the block and so glad I don’t have young children now. Asking or telling them to move would make no difference with the kind she is talking about. A lot of kids killing now just for you saying anything to them. I, myself, would have called the police and got them to intervene. Saying something only sets you up for something worse.
So what's wrong with being gay? - nm
?
Yes, I'm wrong - UR right sm
I overheard a conversation at the butcher's about a weight loss product which was totally mispronounced and the conversation was truly disgusting about the person's side effects. My appetite was ruined. I didn't quite get the name. You are right, it is another product which name escapes me right now. I hear so many that I do get confused. I just wanted to check on these disgusting symptoms. Never mind, thanks!
only way to go wrong with B&B is if (sm)
the girl has perfume sensitivies. Achoo.
I must be doing something wrong...sm

Wrong
My 16-year old son decided that he wanted to go and live with his older sister (who is 29) and she went along with it.....no one ever discussed this with me....just told me what THEY were going to do.....I'm thinking OK if that's what you want to do....fine with me.....So, when he was getting ready to leave....I told him to leave my house key....when I told my mom, she said that I was wrong in asking for my house key....she said that is "your child".....what my feeling is....if you don't leave here...you don't need a key to MY HOUSE......and I guess I have burned bridges somewhere because I just told her what I felt.....and also told her that "I am YOUR child...too, but I don't have a key to your house......DID I DO ANYTHING WRONG FOR ASKING FOR MY HOUSE KEY?????
Nothing wrong with it. You can
always re=issure it later if you deem the maturity and responsibility and/or need is there.
wrong
I did not kick him out.....
wrong
Nothing was ever discussed with me....I guess they did not feel the need to....but the point is....I am his MOTHER....and I have say so....but if this is the way they want to POP IT....they go for it....and she can afford for him to live with her and I don't have to pay anything.....she has a BS degree and Master's.....
wrong
I never said that he is not welcome into my home....what I'm trying to say is if he's not living here and he does not need a key....he is always to come home.....but home is not DO DROP IN......
wrong
Thank you sm.....I made this post to get feedback and I thank you for that......
wrong
And by the way....they were born on the same day March 5, 13 years apart.... does that mean BAD LUCK: 
Wrong
I guess a lot of people are misunderstanding my post....I am not UPSET....with my son or my daughter.....there was no arguing, cussing or fussing. My son a VERY, VERY GOOD, child. He makes A's and B's in school.....He participates in sports, basketball and football and plays in the band...percussion.....my daughter is in a position where she can provide more for him than I can.....UPSET because my mom made the comment that I was wrong in telling him to leave my house key....if you are not living here fulltime....I don't see any reason for you to have a KEY to MY HOUSE.....
wrong
I'm not trying to defend myself....I just asked one simple question.....if someone does not live in your house...whether it is daughter, son, mother, father, cousins whatever....I'm not saying that my son is a problem....Please read earlier posts.....now because I posted it seems like everyone is bashing me.....that is why I made another post saying I'm sorry....I respect the responses and everybody opinion....just trying to see what somebody on the outside thinks.....
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

DH is wrong, you are right! (sm)
There’s no better storage than that carton
Fresh eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for as long as five weeks. And yes, that egg carton that they’re packaged with is the best storage container for them. Avoid putting them on the egg holder on the fridge door. Not only would they get rattled whenever the door opens and closes, they also get exposed to temperature drops. They spoil quickly if they do. Just use them before that “Best before” date on the carton.
Eggshells are porous
Still, one of the reasons why you should keep them stored in the carton is because eggshells are porous. This means that the shells allow odors to penetrate the egg. Now you wouldn’t want the eggs to taste or smell like anything but good ol’ egg.
Store eggs in their original carton. The carton protects the eggs from absorbing flavors and odors
of other foods nearby like onions or cabbage.

I might be wrong but
are not the hounds known for whining and sounding off?
No, you are wrong on this -
A lot of us made more 15 years ago than now. The pay goes down, not up in this profession.
I see nothing wrong with what you did.....

you are mostly wrong.
Sure, any animal is prone to animal behavior. but SOME are much more so, and unpredictably so. The stats prove it. not to mention, that too often the people that want these kind of animals are irresponsible kinds of people (not all, but SOME), ie, drug users, gangsters, etc. You can learn a lot of things in an animal class or book, some are good, but reality does not bear out all that you say.
