well I guess the red won, the sourbelles lost!
Good for you that you chose heart over wallet!
I am in about the same boat, never did like being steered into a corner, one time never again!

TK, I have to meet my great aunt and my grandmother at the country club for brunch anytime I am at home and that means complete with the silk dress, the pearls, matching shoes and purse, and if those two old dear belles still had their way gloves and a hat.... they are appalled that I didn't join the DAR, the Juniour league, a couple of southern blue blood clubs and all that other hoopla that my white hertiage would gain me admission to. They freaked out when I went red instead.... and then gasp I did the unthinkable and married a yankee and a ndn man instead of this nice doctor that they both knew who needed a wife to help raise his kids!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh how you make me feel good for that, you as a southern belle I just can't picture, all I see is the gone with the wind version with frankly my dear I don't give a dammmm!
LOL
Okay I feel all that too here at work, a complete opposite to what I am walking! So I get the looks at work and the knowing stares, I let it slide for a way too and then I give back too! I work with those fruit cakes, they get promotions I dream of!
is the only way to go! brush that off your shoulders and don't keep it there! Tooo heavy to carry!

I never let off my steam that is my problem... I was raised in the south where from birth we are taught to be nice and polite to our elders, stangers, and pretty much everyone that a southern lady encounters. OH and fruit cakes, and I am just tired of it. I am almost always never mean to anyone unless they push me to it. My normal answer is that's nice, and I go away as fast as possible. Here lately on PW, my buttons have really been pushed by the twinkies and wannabes. I have bitten back when they start their load of crapola, so that makes me the evil mean bad guy.... must be PMS or menopause.... lol.... beware I do have a flame thrower.... just throw choclate my way and I'll go back to my corner and crunch numbers till they come for me with the straight jackets and the butter fly nets....

you mean to tell me walmart does that LOL never would have thought that!

try any tourist shop, gift shop, or any store remotely related to Native American "things".theres atleast 3 in my town, but I don't hear anyone say a thing about it. But if one person decides to make their own, as opposed to going to a store and buying one, they're demonized as a culture vulture.

its funny because smudge sticks are not exclusive to North America... and if you really want to make a point, start protesting the ones they sell in stores. Thats appropriation at its finest. Maybe its just easier to take on a single person than a company I guess...

can I remind everyone that the whole jump on steel was over her postin a yawn to yet another lookin for an NDN how to guide on the net, and a complaint to her own that she had a similar experience at the powwow, where she played nice because e was sopposed to play nice, so here, amoungst friends she let off steam. She didn't post about how she told off the culture vulture, she didn't tell anyone here to goto hell, she just yawned and complained...get a grip people...i wonder about those who are so protective of such people.

[Tibiki Kinew]

TK are you telling me that you got a real job???? Geez I thought that all you did was sit up there and find new ways to drive me and suzz in to the nut house trying to figure out how to implment your new fleecing schemes...

yes I got a real job,, otherwise I couldn't be online as much as I am! Fleecing eh, darn I love polar fleece, took it off of the bear that was in the cubicle beside me!!!
I just hope you are having a great day! So why are you so mean towards polar bears????? LOL!!!! Now that we are soooooooooooo rude towards them! LOL

You know what steel... all these years of picking up road kills, not one polar bear,,, that must mean something!
There are days when I do actually work too,,, wonder why they pay me what they do! Must be a reason behind that.

Well for once steel I do know where we stand eh,,, just outside the melted igloo watching suzzz as she blow dries the fur blankets.

Just another night in paradise!!!!! LOL We good?

[steelemagnolia63]

LOL... if I got upset everytime someone attempted to piss me off, shame me into something, or just be a general nuisance on one of the boards that I am on then I'd spend all my time in a corner playing with the dust.... and I don't have time to play with the dust. I am much to busy being a who I am and very happy in my skin :) I have third world nations to topple, find a cure for stupid, a real life with a real job and try to keep up with my amazing husband who has less tolerance or patience than I do....

I am bone tired of being pestered to death by the "culture vultures (thanks Suzz can I use that?) who seem to find me every where I go and bug the devil out of me. I am tired of being nice, I am tired of being polite to them, so now I am going to try it the other way!!! don't go away mad just go the *$&# away.... I think that there must be a flashing sign above my head that says aske her she won't bite your head off... well guess what I will bite you head off and then dribble it around the block.... One can only stand som many people shoving cameras in your face, pulling on your reaglia, touching things that aren't thiers, and holding you up while the MC is yelling your name because you are needed in the circle....Whoever is telling them that I am a nice lady stop it.... cause I am tired of playing nice....

Good grief how does anyone get that I am against the polar bears???? Geez some folks need to get a real liife that does not involve the computer and pull their heads out of the behinds....

Wangi Chetan this has nothing to do about the life of the Polar Bear, it is being used as a metaphor! If we can not laugh here on this board the seriousness would be intollerable to some of the BS that is here. I am an animal lover and have never felt any negative feelings when using metaphors. So if you think we are here to insult bears you are mistaken.

steelemagnolia63 & SuzzeQ4 it seems we have touched nerves and hurt someones feelings. No one thinks about ours though as you say! The street here seems to be one way only and not a two way.

It is true, the real teachings are not meant to be posted here where they can be used and abused and ridiculed. So for the lakota doctorates with the walmart certificates, please step carefully and do not step on the bear droppings as you leave!
