   I would have liked to see Cathy’s mom fall off that cliff!
   Good morning, Aaron (no comment about arriving), Lightenup, Drs. Billy and KFG, Legaleagle, GsMom, and the rest of the “Cathy” nuts.
   Hard to believe that I’m the first to post today.

   “Elegant outdoorsy”? What does that mean… an evening gown with hiking boots?

   I think that we should all make up our own stories about what has happened with KFG. Here’s mine…
   KFG told her boss that she’s going to move to Chile, and he said “No!! We can’t lose you! I will double your salary and turn away patients so that you won’t get so stressed!”
   KFG responded, “I’m sorry but it is my destiny to help the Chilean people (and that hunky doctor that I’m not telling you about)” as she swirled her superhero cape and dashed away.
   On her way home, the town threw her an impromptu ticker tape parade, and the mayor gave her a key to the city, promising her a place to come back to any time.
   KFG then packed up all of her life treasures to take to Chile and with her carry-on bag went to the airport. Four of her ex-boyfriends were there to stop her as she went through security, promising their undying love and saying that she broke their hearts and they will never be the same. One tried to follow her, crying “noooo!!” as TSA stopped him for the “extra-special” patdown.
   KFG made it through security, but then the prime minister tried to stop her from leaving saying that Canada needed her for the 2016 Olympics. KFG declared, “I must do what I need to do!”, threw open a door, unfurled her superhero cape and flew off like a speeding bullet.
   Once she landed in Chile (with a stopover in Vegas to sow her wild oats), Dr. Hunky was anxiously awaiting her and eagerly greeted her with a passionate kiss as the Chilean children cheered. YAY!!

   Chile? Say it isn’t so, KFG! You’re fueling way too many wild imaginations here. I thought KFG said she was going away for a few days and won’t be here for awhile. Maybe she took off to elope with a significant other and is on a honeymoon of some sort. Hopefully it wasn’t like the wedding described above. Wouldn’t it be funny if it rained on them, or worse yet, they get trapped somehow and can’t get the mules? I would love to see if this one lasts. lol

   I’m glad my OH didn’t read that description before we got married the old boring way . . .

   Good morning and aren’t you glad not to have to attend that wedding….will at least eliminate some from the guest list. Not many RSVP’S will be coming in.

   Reminds me of the Phineas & Ferb episode where Candace was the [weird] wedding planner. I like adventure as much as the next guy but “elegant outdoorsy” stretches my imagination in all the wrong ways.

    

   legaleagle48 re: you last comment to Susan last night: i disagree. “Um” is a kinder way of saying “Hey ignoramus, you made a mistake”. I prefer “um” any day.

    

   Morning Wednesday Early Bird Susan doing good deeds. Morning lightenup. I guess I’d have to pass on that wedding. I look horrible in an evening gown and hiking boots. (And whoa do I hate THAT visual!)

    

   Hi Mom!

   The woman I had to strike was on drugs and pulled a gun on me and Gabe. She couldn’t have pulled the trigger if she tried, but it was loaded. It was more of an automatic response than anything which is kinda sorta maybe scary about what that says about me.

   @FrankenAaronStein

   That was my point, Aaron. The use of “um” is considered rude because it’s recognized as shorthand for “Hey, stupid, you made a mistake that I, with my superior intellect, will correct for you.” Why is it necessary to beat someone else down just to make a point?

    FrankenAaronStein said, 9 months ago

    Only someone who uses “um” in a rude way is rude. As was your very sarcastic reply last night. There is no excuse for that.

     

    What part of “it’s a kinder way . . .” did you not understand? Kindness comes in many forms, and it isn’t black and white. How about "It’s an alternative to “Hey dummy”. One can politely correct someone without being rude.

     

    Susan was NOT being rude. It’s hard to read the tone of voice in a comment. However, the Susan that presents herself in this group is not an unkind person. If she used "Um … " on me, I’d take it kindly. The fact that you did not makes no sense. This group is known for treating each other kindly and good-naturedly. Coming here with an attitude makes someone unwelcome.

    I took it as a gentle smile rather than a beating. It was an easy mistake to make when you’re tired, and we have somebody here wearing the name in question.

    It was quite funny, too, the thought of Cathy dumping somebody so plainly undumpable. I honestly don’t think anyone saw it as an attack on you, legaleagle48.

    Long time no “Aack” Cathy. Glad to see it again.

     

    The use of “um” is considered rude because it’s recognized as shorthand for “Hey, stupid, you made a mistake that I, with my superior intellect, will correct for you.”

     

    Wow. That’s totally psychotic.

     

    “Um” = “Excuse me, but . . .” or
    “Um” = “Pardon my ignorance, but . . .”

     

    hi mom!

    I thought about you today :-) I’m out of town for a couple of days. See ya on Friday.

    I am trying to talk up the FUN OF ELOPING to my 2 twenty-something daughters! If Cathy did that to her mom she would never hear the end of it. Afternoon, Cathy clan!

    There is nothing scary about a good healthy instinct for survival. Sometimes if you have to think about your reaction it is too late – automatic response in that kind of a situation is good. I don’t think it is a good idea to depend on someone not being able to pull the trigger. That cannot be guaranteed – and life is way too precious.

    @catsarge

    When my two daughters were very very young I would bounce them on my knee repeating “You are not going to get married until you are 25 and you are going to elope!”. Worked sort of – my older got married when she was 26 but did have a formal wedding. My younger is now 27 and is not married – but has been living with my son-in-common-law for 2 years now – and threatening a formal wedding in the near future. Not complaining though – found that walking your daughter down the aisle can be one of the proudest moments in a man’s life. Just glad they both didn’t rush a permanent relationship.
