The problem came when someone I don't even know jumped on me when I was explaining things to Linda and my pals, and I didn't appreciate it one bit. I let him know it, too. He thinks my expressed remorse for responding badly to Linda's post should have extended to him as well, which it did not. He is one who is more concerned with looking "correct" than with being human. IMHO, I consider this person neither.
It wasn't really about someone pulling a blonde joke on me, but it was about someone having no sense of decency. Blonde jokes, to me, are just an idea that has become old and tired. Constant poking and joking about being dumb because one is blonde is irritating. I've put up with it for 20 years, and I'm tired of it. It's that simple. Some people don't know when something ceases to be funny, or never was funny to begin with.
When this person I didn't even know jumped on me, that did it. I snapped. No "hello, how are ya" -- just jumped in and tried to play "cutesie" when it wasn't cute at all, and in fact flew in the face of everything I had said bugged me. In between jumping on me, this person was verbally groping Victoria, and losing all sense of decency and taste. Publicly.
Horrible first impression. Just horrible. So -- that's the thing. It's not so much the blonde jokes. It's the bad manners and "God's gift" attitude. I didn't have the stomach for it. (Oh, and he also told me I should be more like this other person, while wrongly assuming I didn't know her. All this from someone I've never met in my life!)
Okay, sorry, I can't let this mess get to me. It's irrelevant. Gotta let it go. He doesn't seem to be a regular, and tends to only verbally grope Victoria and ignore everyone else. God willing, our paths will rarely or never cross again.
Thanks for listening, Misty!! Love ya, FReeper buddy ol' pal o' mine!!
Beeparoni!
I'm just frustrated, and my pain level is too high for my meds. Dr. B is overnighting me more prescriptions, and I should have them tomorrow. God willing!
Linda, again, didn't deserve that reply -- and it really wasn't directed at her. It was just a "general" rant. The other mess, well, I've said what I'm going to say about that. I just hope Linda doesn't think she started any of this; it was me and my rant about those bloody jokes! Linda, if you're reading, I am sooooo sorry!!
Love to you and Misty!
Beep in Sad Bunny Slippers! (Hoping to be forgiven??)
Love ya!

Okay, okay, I'll pretend to laugh at 'em. Holy Moly! What a bunch of fuss over a bunch of idiotic jokes! I'll act like they're funny. But no pushing! One is enough. I've had people follow me around at work and in school, reading off their list of blonde jokes! Man, if I ever wanted to punch somebody in the nose!! They're like "Polack jokes" or something. If you're "lucky" enough to be Scandinavian, you're automatically the butt of people's jokes. Maybe that's what ticks me off. But if people think that way -- it's their bad! They're showing THEIR ignorance, not mine!
What can I tell ya? All I was trying to do was say, "hey, I don't think those jokes are funny anymore." (Meaning: "please don't direct them at me.") You'd think I had just accused Bush of being a Democrat! (Thanks to ONE person, and I use the term loosely.)
It takes a LOT to make me angry, and I am VERY forgiving and more likely to give someone the benefit of the doubt than not -- BUT! When someone does push me over the threshhold, watch out! Fireworks! I can and do bite, punch, and kick when I've been pushed too far. Usually, it's not over something someone's done to me, but to someone else -- especially if I love that someone else!! I can scrap with the best of 'em. I don't enjoy it, but I'll do it. (How do you think I fought my way through the patient advocacy mess, took it to the top, and won?! It wasn't by being complacent!! *G*)
Okay. I'm ready for the future again. Thank you, Misty! I'll have my meds tomorrow, and hopefully I'll be calmer. But now I guess everyone knows I don't back away from an issue that I believe in. No matter what. If I believe I'm right, I fight! If I hadn't, I'd be dead by now. I'm just sorry that things had to get sticky here.
"Department of Redundancy Department!" LOL!
This may be redundant, but I mean it, as always:
Love ya, Misty!!
