Stupidity Rehab

I so enjoy this time of year.  Except for get-togethers where a lot of strangers are at.  I seem to be a magnet for boring people.  Let me share some of my recent boring people encounters.

Emily Post was an expert on manners and etiquette.  In today's society, she'd have to make some changes to her etiquette rules.  I have suggestions for her if she were alive still and was to come out with a manners guide for those, not of high society breeding.

I get annoyed with those you say "Hey I know what I'm talking about".   I heard that recently when someone was spouting off about straws.  Can you please let me drink my Big Gulp in peace?

I think it's time to reimagine our use of cereal.  It shouldn't just be for breakfast and perhaps a nighttime snack.  Let's let those yummy breakfast cereals be a part of our party scene.  I can explain how I would do it.

Baby Strollers have gotten out of control.  The size and how people use them has turned shopping into a Mad Max movie.

I've been learning so much about nutrition these days I can't want to share some of my new knowledge.  Plus what is with the word Extreme these days?  Every other product at the store or on TV is labeled extreme.

I dislike hearing stories without some specifics.  One recently frustrated me concerning someone's relation.

I'm not all sold on this happy wife happy life business.  I recently tried to set up a special arrangement for the wife and me for when we take road trips.  

Every now and again a person can have a moment where unexplained things happen.  I had one of those where I channeled the spirit of Fonzie.

I discovered a list of all the cereals that have disappeared over the years.  Let's take a sad trip back and say a final goodbye to some of them.

We've all sang a romantic song from time to time.  Perhaps even to your sweetheart.  Imagine being told to never sing to them again.  Wow how crushing.

Some expressions we use make no sense.  Let's take one popular expression we use and look a bit closer at it.

I see news stories on tv with people being arrested.  One thing I just don't understand?  Plus I now know if I have an accident and lose my big toe, I have a plan for what to do.

Why is it men for the most part have little say about how the inside of their home is decorated?  Wome get the final word on most things.  It's a problem that needs to be fixed.

I know what I like.  I'm sure you have your own likes and dislikes.  Everyone is different and some people just don't understand that.

I am constantly surprised by what people wear on their clothing.  Recently someone's shirt gave me new-found knowledge on fairies.

Are you a people pleaser?  If so, good for you.  It's tough making others happy.  Let me share some of my examples.

What's the saying about how not to judge a book by its cover. Well, that goes for many things.  Let see what you think of this conversation?

Why does everything need to be improved?   Sometimes somethings good already.  Let it be.  Some things are just weird.  Let me explain.

It's back to school time for many.  The thing I always dreaded about this time of year was the back to school clothes shopping trip with the kids.

I am easy going.  But I have one area I hate being bossed around with and that's homes that make you take off your shoes before entering.  I have issues to share on this.

So many little but interesting things going on around us.  Today's chapter examines some of those little things that are happening.

I wish many tattoos I spot on people were accompanied by an explanation as to what it means.  Many just come off looking kind of weird.

Everyone has something that is their thing.  It could be collecting something or trying to save something from harm.  I've settled on a new thing for me.  I might have this thing all to myself.

I'll admit I have a few shortcomings.  But I'm always game for new personal growth.
