Glad to hear your parents are safe and sound. People will not learn until it happens to them and sometimes not even then.

So many stupid and ignorant people out there behind the wheel who do not care about anyone else but them self. It makes me sick every time I see it. Most of the time I try to get behind them and lay me hand on the horn, guess what most of the time i either get the finger or they are so involved they don't hear me.

Can't believe they are showing Christmas movie on Showcase already, far too early.

sadly they started showing them November first on a few channels.. i'm sorry but if the pumpkin on the porch hasn't started rotting yet it's too early for christmas movies

things seem to be snowballing since beginning of october... every weekend packed full of stuff we had to do, during the weeks constant running around playing catch up, toss in thanksgiving (plus the traveling) then half days for parent teacher interview, hubby off for a week (throws me/my routine completely out of whack) then halloween chaos (finishing off costume, throwing something together for me.. 4+ hours of baking for school bake sale) kidlet's good friend moving away, then her birthday party(more baking, and all the prep for that), followed by her actual birthday today(more running around and more prep 3+ hours of inflating balloons).. i'm zapped... completely worn down and now i'm getting a cold because of it

i'm ready for a break but i know the christmas season is gearing up (i'll have to get inlaws christmas stuff done in the next couple of weeks, santa+ lighted truck parades.. weekend events)

Starbucks Red Cups...something disposable isn't worth the faux-rage

Starbucks Red Cups...something disposable isn't worth the faux-rage

i honestly don't understand the rage towards the cup...people are angry because it's not christmasy enough.... i really don't understand all the anger towards a red cup

I think it's more to do with the symbols of Christmas. Though why a preacher would contend that a snowflake and Christmas tree were symbols of the Christian faith, I've no idea. The best meme I've seen about it follows...

Considering its a pagan Goddess on the front of the cup..........

I've seen some of the earlier cups and there are only 3 that stck out as having any vague kind of Christian imagry, a Christmas tree, baubles and some-one hanging lights..The rest were skaters, snowmen and the ilk.

There are far to many people on my FB feeds bewailing how these cups are going to ruin their faith.....

It's blowback for stuff like this:

I'll get upset and accuse Starbucks of ruining Christmas if and only if they ever stop selling their Christmas ornaments. Until then I couldn't care less less what their annual paper cup looks like... Especially since I drink their iced coffees/frappuccinos all year and that cup is always the same.

Paying shipping for parcels so you would kind of think they'd get their chit together and ship it but no, its been sitting stagnant for days.

Exactly how I am feeling! Don't remember the last time I could just sit for part of a day doing nothing without stress or guilt for not getting something done.

And I am likely to get sick because I am gettinh less sleep trying to find more time in the day.

see i'd see that if the cup regularly had a christian religious theme to it (a manger scene or wise men following a star) but it's never been a solid christian religious cup.. just a seasonal cup with representations of the season (snowflakes, poinsettias, snowmen...i looked up some past cups) so i don't understood the whole obsession over it... and since when does christmas automatically equal christian.... there are MANY ways to represent the christmasy season that are far from religious and many different forms of seasonal festivities that are not christian based


i think this has been a bad time for advertisers... in the last week there's been the cup craze, target is getting backlash over a holiday sweater (OCD= obsessive, christmas, disorder) and bloomingdales ran an ad that tells you to spike your best friend's drink when they are not looking

The amount of people on here who are so quick to point out of you used a deal wrong but praise people who misuse money saving apps to stock up on junk food ... Okay

today while waiting for my daughter at school, i watched another mom see her daughter slip and fall(wet rainy day).. then with an annoyed look/tone tell her stop crying and get up "your just fine, better you then me" really?! your kid just slipped and fell and your only response is better you(the child) slip and fall then she does?! how is that parenting
