I can't stand TV in general.

In Reply to: who cant you stand on TV: me: shawn hannity - nm.
I watch MAYBE 1 hour a week of regular ol' TV and that is just local news blurbs. I am a big movie fanatic though.
What I really can't stand about the crap coming over the airways is the constant barrage of DRUG ADS--whether they are for prescription drugs or OTC stuff. It's just too much.
I saw a spot on the news about how stores are contemplating putting in little LCD screens into those "kiddie carts" that the adult can plug $1 into, put the kid in the plastic car/cart thing, so the kid basically can stay numbly tuned into some show while the parents shops in quiet comfort.
Heaven forbid kids are made to behave while out in public. Oh don't even get me going on the sheer retardedness of it all...

tribute in general
I saw it as a tribute to a soldier in general.
not personal, just in general...
So many nasty comments...the point of my post was (and this is the last post I'll make on the subject)a teacher won 10grand...woohoo!!! GREAT for him, a hardworking professional (and yes, underpaid) catches a break! I'm happy for him...end of story! Have a lovely day...
General Hospital
I've been watching GH for years. What do you think about Elizabeth/Lucky/Jason? I'd like to slam Elizabeth. I feel sorry for Jason.
In general, you're definitely right (sm)
I am not necessarily saying my mom is wrong - but it's not how I am choosing to raise my kids. I don't want them to be scared. I only spank them as a last resort (for defiance after warnings) and they know what lines not to cross. I rarely have to spank them and they are far better behaved than a lot of my friends' children.
Is it because of the neighbors in general
or just that you don't want to impose on anyone? I have 3 that I can borrow from and have. My very best friend who lived across the street up until last year was someone I always went to and vice versa. We could borrow anything from each other and I mean anything. We joke with each other all the time now when I need to borrow something really crazy that I wish she was still here because if I asked the others, they'd think I was nuts.
Unfortunately, he probably won't be in the general population sm
because of his celebrity status. He'll probably only see the guards and his cell.
Maybe he could be sort of a general fix-it guy
Someone in my area actually has an ad in the paper that says 'Rent-a-Husband'. For household things like building shelves or cabinets, lighting a pilot light, trapping and removing a mouse in the bathroom, or a bat in the garage, things like that. Petsitting and dog-walking are good options for a rent-a-husband, too! Or for busy people, someone to take their car to the shop for a tuneup and oil change, so they don't have to. Back in the 1970's, during the gas 'shortage', when lines for gas were hours long, people made money by taking people's cars to the gas station and filling up for them.
Maybe he could build those cute wooden children's toys you see at the fancier toy stores. And either sell them or give them to organizations that give toys to needy children. If he's 'artsy-craftsy', maybe he can come up with really cute dog-collars & matching leashes, or cute wooden pet-beds that look like miniatures of the real thing. If he likes to write, and is smart, maybe he could start an advice column for soon-to-be-seniors. (Nowadays 61 isn't really a 'senior' - I think it's closer to 75-80!) Or, if he likes kids, maybe a 'rent-a-grandpa'! Or else maybe a small mail-order business, like on eBay.
Well, that's all for my ideas, I need to get to work, myself!
Hope he finds the PERFECT idea!
I do have a son, and who is villifying men in general? sm
The one we are talking about right now is a pedophile, as was my granfather. The one I am married to is abusive.
However, I know many men who I love and respect, my stepfather who only lived with my mother for 5 years but has kept in contact with me and my sister all of our lives who I now help take care of. Many other male friends and relatives. My son who I love dearly. I have seen many women post on here and say how fortunate they are to have such a great husband. I can't defend someone who molests children though, sorry.
Waking up can happen even with general
anesthesia, happened to me in the middle of a face lift as I was having my neck liposuctioned!! So having general (which I think is more than the conscious) does not mean you stay fully asleep. There are others waking with general, have seen stories on it before on 20/20 I think. I had other surgeries after that time but this was the only time I woke during surgery. I joked with the physician later about my awakening that the anesthesiologist must have gone out for lunch at that particular time!!
Finally, it seems to go as "we" the general
I think Lakesha or Jordin, in any order will be next 2, and Blake and Melinda final 2. I like them all, so I dont care who wins.
General legal matter
Definitely take pictures to use in your defense and when you remove those vines from your house, take pictures of the removal of paint too. Most state laws allow you to control whatever is growing over your house, fence and/or yard that results from a neighbor but if you trim their plants that are on your property and happen to kill the entire tree, plant or vine, your neighbor can make you replace them. It's a matter that has no winning situation because you have to live by these people. I say get a free estimate from a landscaper and get an estimate from a painter also, talk to someone in the legal system and see exactly what your options are, and move forward to bring this problem to an end. Once you find out what action you can take, if any, tell your neighbor what you are planning to do and if they do not take care of the problem, you will move forward as planned. No way would I let this go on without doing something about it. Good luck.
Nope, general surgeon.
 Gross, isn't it?! Can't WAIT 'til cold season!
I went into the Dollar General looking for school
decorations. I walked out without buying anything.I refuse to patronize a store that does such a dispicable thing. I'm a big halloween fan and was miffed they hadn't even put out the halloween stuff yet!
You must pick gross men in general...
Let's just call you stinky girl 
I'm just always suspicious of "statistics," in general, but particularly so -- sm
when given without the backup data which supposedly generated them. :-) Beyond that, I probably bristled more at the descriptor "filth" as a blanket term covering the categories. I suspect that most of what are considered the greatest movies ever made would not pass that "filth" test.
General legal matter... maybe somenoe knows
I was wondering if anybody has had this happen to them or someone they know. I have a problem with neighbors to one side of me who have trumpet vines. These are very invasive and they grow very fast. When I first moved into my house 10 years ago, they were confined to a very small area along our shared fence. Now, 10 years later, they are all along the length of the fence, are not being kept trimmed or confined, are reaching the roof of my house, growing inside my garage, behind the washer/dryer, etc. When I pull them off the side of my house (the side out front where I never go except to wash the windows in the garage once a year) the paint comes off with the leaves, leaving bare spots on the wood. This is a spot the neighbors can clearly see when they are doing their lawn work. They sit there and watch the vines grow up the side of my house without even pulling them out, knowing what it does to my paint.
The roots from the vines are now invading most of my back yard, and they grow about a foot (no joke) a week, so by the time I mow the lawn again, they are way above the height of the grass, sticking out all over. Now my lawn is ruined, and every year it is just getting worse. In order to get rid of the vines completely from my yard and property, it will have to be dug up and replaced, and even then it won't do any good because the neighbors have them all over their property and don't care if they have them growing on their roof.
I have contacted the city, and there is no law on this sort of thing, they told me it would be a civil matter, i.e., small claims court. I have asked the neighbors countless numbers of times to at least make an effort to keep them contained, and they may cut a little here and there, but a week later, there they are again. I'm done asking.
My question is this, has anybody actually gone through with a small claims suit against somebody for this or similar reasons, and what was the outcome? I have been checking around and it falls under destruction of property and lowering the value of my home. Thanks for all comments.
reads like he's disrespectful to women in general
If he is a passive-aggressive type, there is ABSOLUTELY NO HOPE for the relationship....get out while the gettin' is good....
I agree, let the general public take care of them; I will.

I bought mine at Dollar General but sm
you have to ask for it. They keep it in the office. I use it for walking my dogs. I think Wal-Mart probably has it, too, maybe in the auto department.
Check with your state attorney general's

An OB doctor yes, I am talking about general practitioners or even.....sm
pricey specialists, most do not even cover emergency rooms or in-hospital patients anymore, many hospitals in my area have gone over to a large percentage of "hospitalists", a new specialist who works only in hospital, and when you go into that hospital, the hospitalist stays in close touch with your PCP and records, but is in charge of your care, freeing up the time of the PCP. So much for progressive medicine, what good are all the advances in technology/testing/meds, when the doctors do not take the time or care enough to spend the time with you, without overloading their schedules every day to bring in more $$$, to truly DIAGNOSE THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM CORRECTLY so the proper care is gotten right away. And I am not talking as an MT here, I am speaking as a former LPN, CMA, and office manager, who used to be "ordered" by her physicians to fit in a few more, many times QUADRUPLE booking.....many doctors have just lost compassion, it does not come with the degree!
I'd still hire a local general contractor.
Whether modular or traditional stick-built, there are a million details, legalities and regulations involved - and you'll likely still need some local subcontractors. A good general contractor can save you a ton of grief and bad experiences.
Actually is a Dollar General brand Brat cause more light

Check with your state's Attorney General's office.

Ancestry.Com Needs a Surgeon General's Addiction Warning Box
Is to get one of those Ancestry charts online where you put in each person in a family tree. You can then click on 2 people's names and see exactly how they're related to each other.
I think the OP's disgust was aimed mostly at "the system" in general. Picture this...
you awaken at 5:00 a.m. after only having slept 4 hours, get the children off to school, work a grueling 8 hours transcribing for incomprehenisble dictators, while in between getting the house work done and prepping dinner until you remember you have to pick up the kids and take to practice, and you need to make one last stop out of your grueling day to stop at the market and boom. You encounter what she did. Sometimes it makes you wonder why you bust your hump day in and day out, year after year, for the mere pennies this so-called profession provides while others are getting handouts. So she had a 'moment.' That's all. No more, no less. Give her a break.
Yeah I remember Prell!! I think I saw some at Dollar General not too long ago (nm)

Yeah, Tried to... even called the state attorney general's office
to see if a medical facility could get away with charging that kind of interest and they said as long as they notified you prior to the bill, it's okay because you basically agree to the terms when you accept that form of payment option, which I didn't but... They advised me that I would have to hire a personal lawyer to fight it and I figured it wasn't worth it for a balance of 200.00.
Pretty bad because that is the closest hospital. The next closest is almost 200 miles from here so they really stick it to the people who live in this community when health care is already sky high and the care is not entirely satisfactory either.
General Electric Cooper - our orange cat with stripes that looked like (sm)
electricity. I think? What were we thinking of? I always had a vivid imagination and parents were on drugs in the 70s so they probably thought that was hilarious. 
Heads up! The Gab board is for general discussion not to include MT, Religion, or Politics.
This was put into place when we very first set up the Gab board. We have a Christianity, Conservatives, and Liberals forum that you can post on. But, let me be clear. I do not condone trashing of anyone's religious preference and neither should you. I expect posts on any of these forums to be respectful (that does NOT mean we are censoring, there IS a difference). This is NOT open for debate. These are the rules. If you can't respect them, you don't need to post here.
What does LOL stand for.
Use to think it meant lots of luck, but that doesn't pertain to this board.
I Can't Stand Men Your Age Either!!
I married older because I thought he would have his you-know-what together. WRONG! He went down, financially-speaking, and took me down with him. I heard he's in the middle of divorcing his third wife (I was his second).
But...boy, did I love him.
I can't stand him ever since
he did the show on Tourette syndrome and Asperger syndrome and called the show "extreme disorders." That was pretty crappy. And the Asperger kid's parents were totally abusive and Dr. Phil didn't even call them on it.
But I have to admit I watch it, its like reading National Equirer- I'm drawn to it but embarrassed to admit it!
What's HMR stand for? n/m

Can't stand her!
The reason the paparazzi follow her is because they know she will do something ignorant like she always does. You don't see many other celebs being chased like she is. If she would act like a decent adult then they would have no reason to follow her around. But she continues to act like a child to get the attention she wants. It makes me the maddest because those paparazzi drive so recklessly, and one of these days they are going to injure or even kill someone when they hit them head on by driving down the wrong side of the road. Ugh. Makes me sick. Like the OP said, STAY HOME! Its like the time she drove with her baby on her lap and everyone coddles her and told her it was okay, people make mistakes. Um, NO. That is not a mistake. That is a blatantly wrong thing to do. I am just so tired of her, and I wish she would drop her custody case and just let Kevin have the boys. At least he is stable.
I stand by what I said.
Her daughter called and maybe she did think her mom was upset, but the fact that her mom got annoyed by this is just insane. If she was on an important phone call with her dying aunt, why she bothered to answer her other phone, no matter who was calling, is beyond me. As a result, she posted this topic about whether she should let the answering machine get the phone or she should disconnect her phone. That is a no brainer. If you don't want to talk to someone or are on another important call, let the answering machine get it. She made mention that she might let the answering machine pick up all of her daughter's calls and not call back just to see what her daughter will think.....isn't that a bit childish.
So I don't know her whole family history and maybe her son is an ungrateful turd. If he won't talk to his mom because she got money he thought he deserved, that is his problem. But for her to not be the adult and bigger person by at least trying to mend that relationship......as far as I'm concerned, she can't blame everything on him if she isn't willing to mend it either.
As for her happiness and family getting her down....sounds to me as if she is the one who thinks her family owes her something since she bailed her son out of jail and paid for her daughter's college. If she is so happy with her laugh and content, why in the world she is posting on here about whether or not she should let the answering machine pick up her daughter's phone calls?
I have no sympathy for someone who isn't smart enough to make the decision of whether or not to answer her telephone.
Stand up!
Why do our companies never stand up to dictators like this? I have one who honestly sounds like he's drunk and he speaks English as a first language! I call him smushmouth because all I can understand is smusha-smusha-smusha at any speed level. I had one at an old hopsital who had narcolepsy! He would literally fall asleep while dictating so you'd have to sit there and wait for him to wake back up and then he'd start over or start in the middle of a sentence he never began. Drives me nuts.
What kills me too is that one of my in-laws is from Russia. Her mom was a doctor there. She can't become a doctor here because she says her English isn't good enough and it costs so much money to take the tests to get her reciprocal certification. Heck her English is 10 times better than half the idiots we get so how do THEY pass the test? Sorry needed to vent today!
I can't stand...
walkie talkie cell phones. It's bad enough to hear one side of someone else's conversation standing in line at the grocery store. I DO NOT want to hear BOTH sides. Especially if it's a dumb argument. Take it outside or wait until you get home!
can't stand the.....
GEICO caveman commercials... I just don't get it...
...especially the one where the caveman and his chick are on the beach with the metal detector and he finds keys with a GEICO key fob and tosses down his equipment, then the girlfriend picks it all up for him... yeah.. in his DREAMS!! LOL
maybe not the stand, but instead I am
Maybe it was on purpose. The man who gave Obama the tour died two days later.
I can't stand him.

Can't stand Rosie, but never ....
thought much of Donald either. I can't believe how much attention this whole thing is getting. I wish they would both go away.
I had PMS so bad I couldn't stand myself let alone anyone
else. I got a great PMS pill from a chiropractor that helped a lot, and after moved from that area I would buy mega-B vitamin pills and take them. They really made a difference. Good luck and, believe me, you have a LOT of company! I had PMS long before they ever put a name on it.
I never could stand all the talking over each other.
From the very beginning, it seemed like at least 3 of them were so excited to talk they were hyperventilating and jumping in and talking over each other. Not my cup of tea.
I can't stand doctors like that who won't
listen. At least a colonoscopy is good for about 10-15 years, LOL.
Dont think you have a leg to stand on
The difference between owning and renting is what you are up against. The swimming pool does not belong to you, nothing around there as far as buildings and so on is yours. The owners have the right to come onto their own property, I would think, and throw down as many cigarettes as they want, they own it, right? Otta luck, seems like.
Do you have a backbone, can you not stand
up for yourself? People only take advantage of you if you let them. I have a very good word for people like this, NO.
Good for you, stand your course
she should have been sent home and should not be allowed to return. Your home, your rules.

I cannot stand her but I do like David
