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]

Got it.  If that is what OP meant, yes, I completely misread that sentence and interpreted it to mean the OPPOSITE of what she intended!  Sorry about that. I didn't catch that it was a dependent clause in the middle.

GOOD LORD.  This is OP.  Let me rephrase for those whose minds are mush.

I'm very happy with my marriage, my career, my kids, my financials, my educational/intellectual background and my appearance.

Of course, like everyone on earth, I have little annoyances like the fact that my house needs a new deck, my kids get up early (at 7, which is really no big deal), right now we are out of my favorite cheese, etc.

It seemed to me that that was clear.

As far as the psycho-analytic pp - wrong again.  Sure, I'm a people-pleaser in that I don't intentionally ruffle feathers IRL.  I just don't see the point, unless something is egregious.  I don't respond randomly or cruelly on DCUM, either - I'm not the kind of person that says suicidal posters should kill themselves, calls people fat who post about needing to lose weight, etc.  THAT is bullying.  I just tell it like I feel "it" is much more openly than IRL, and I think some of the people who know me as funny and thoughtful IRL would be surprised at how tell-it-like-it-is I am online.  Not sure why you continue to insist that there must have been some awful bully who left me cowering in a locker in junior high.  That wasn't the case at all.  I've generally always been like I am now - fun, interesting, intelligent, happy and surrounded by lots of love.  I don't think I'm going to find my answer in this thread - maybe there isn't one? - but I appreciate those who seem to think like I do.

To the pp who said the stupidity on this thread reaffirms why I post the way I do - YOU, my friend, are onto something.[/quote]
