I have to say that #3 really hits home to me. A few years ago I was excited to get invited to a gourmet cooking party (Pampered Chef, or something like that) and I was shocked to learn that none of the recipes they were making from their "gourmet" cookbook in their expensive cookware and utensils seemed like real food. Hint: if one of the main ingredients to your recipe is cool whip it is not a real food. I thought how ironic it was that people who were spending so much money to buy cookware and accessories were also buying a cookbook that seemed to me like it had been formulated so that 8 year olds could make the recipes without assistance.

I do have one bit of advice: get a cell phone for your own convenience, but turn it off if you don't want to be bothered. You will love it!

Cheers,

wow! thanks for saying all of that. I agree with you on a lot of it!

I own a cell phone but try to remain subtle about it..usually I use the phone when I'm in my car and have arrived at my destination.

but if I'm running late (yes..I'm one of THOSE people)...I'm not on the phone for long--just long enough to say I'm running late.

All of that does not respect the person I'm meeting....so I've tried to cut back on commitments to the ones I love to do...and then I'm happy to be early to those. When life gets overwhelming (when I make it so by overcommitting myself)...then I respond by dragging my feet and arriving late. Inexcusable, I know!

I'm just glad you aired what you were thinking. It's a bit freeing, don't you think?

Great post! I agree with just about all of them. Except for #11. Im always late, always have been, and I swear I cant help it. Its a trait I inherited from my mom at birth and theres no reversing it. I do stick to my committments though. If I say I'll be there, I'll be there..about 10 minutes late! I also hate weddings which explains why Ive been engaged for 4 years!

Oh man, I am with you on #6 and #12 in particular!...

Oh man, I am with you on #6 and #12 in particular! Items I've bought without reading because they *must* be meat free include: frozen fettuccine alfredo and Tuscan vegetables in tomato sauce. Those jerks!

Oh man! I might have to do one of these myself. ...

Oh man! I might have to do one of these myself. What a great idea! Hehe. I didn't know that it was called proselytizing before now, but I definitely hate it too!

Oh, I don't know if you read my non-dog blog, but I just joined ravelry! I already added you as a friend. :)

I love your curmudgeonly goodness! I agree on man...

I love your curmudgeonly goodness! I agree on many things. I was in the doctor's office yesterday when a man announced to several colleagues in a booming voice that he would not be returning to work because his wife was getting a colonoscopy and he was waiting with her. Niiiiice. As for the mom thing, my big thing is stay at home moms who complain about being stay at home moms then criticize other moms for NOT staying home.
