I was referring to your original post:

[b]"[T]he everyday annoyances that we all have, obviously - with my marriage, my career, my kids, my financials, my educational/intellectual background and my appearance."[/b]

To me, that seemed to cover all areas of your life.

I get that you were referring to annoyances you consider to be small, and you assume that "we all" have them, "obviously."  But I'm not sure that is true.  Personally, I have zero "annoyances," issues or discomforts in a few of the categories you list above.

Overall, your original post suggests you're carrying quite a bit of negativity about your own life.  Maybe even more than you realize.  You seem seem to be dismissing it as normal and typical, when I'm not sure it is.  Is it possible that you're making unkind comments on DCUM as a way of venting or dulling the regular annoyances or frustrations or even anger you feel about your own life?

You people really cannot read. This is the exact opposite of what OP said. Her sentence was:

[quote]I'm genuinely happy - despite the everyday annoyances that we all have, obviously - with my marriage, my career, my kids, my financials, my educational/intellectual background and my appearance. [/quote]

The mention of everyday annoyances is a dependent clause. Without it the sentence reads:

[quote]I'm genuinely happy with my marriage, my career, my kids, my financials, my educational/intellectual background and my appearance. [/quote]

She could also have said:

[quote]I'm genuinely happy with my marriage, my career, my kids, my financials, my educational/intellectual background and my appearance-- despite the everyday annoyances that we all have, obviously. [/quote]

[quote]Despite the everyday annoyances that we all have, obviously--I'm genuinely happy with my marriage, my career, my kids, my financials, my educational/intellectual background and my appearance. [/quote]

Here's what she did NOT SAY, but what you all seem to think she said:

[quote]I'm genuinely happy - despite the everyday annoyances that we all have, obviously, with my marriage, my career, my kids, my financials, my educational/intellectual background and my appearance. [/quote]

May this be a lesson to OP to not use such complicated grammar when dealing with anonymous internet idiots.[/quote]
