people who don't care less about their pets. Seriously, I think a lot of Americans can go overboard over whether Fluffy has a bday party or not, or whether Fido is wearing his all-weather booties or not, but i do think there is an acceptable "ground zero" for responsible and humanitarian pet stewardship, and I think a) spaying/neutering b) healthy diet, c) indoor care (if cats), d) propert dental care, etc.

Like the movie "Titanic".
Think Rosa Mexicana serves good Mexican food.
Wear pants with palm trees on them.
Choreograph a dance for their wedding reception.
Talk through a movie.
Take their shoes off in public.
Frequent buffets.

Just to let you know. I wish I could drink.
Why can't you? FWIW I would not care if you did not drink and were my friend. I would only have an issue if you were smug or condescending about my drinking
Hey! A family member is a miserable alcoholic. GOOD FOR YOU on the recovering part.
I agree. Some members of the in-law fam are alcoholics here too and I SERIOUSLY give you super super credit. I do think it's a crying shame when drinkers feel threatened by non-drinkers. Ya'll, seriously, it says more about them than it does about you. Just ignore them, if you can, but I know it's hard.

Smokers! Amen! You all may be cool, but you've got a real uphill battle with me trying to convince me to override everything else I've got going on as it pertain to smokers. 
Good luck.
Good luck.

I can befriend anyone, but I avoid people who:
-are smokers
-have little intellectual curiosity
-are picky eaters
-have racial anxiety (that's much harder as there are a lot you out there!)
-don't think critically
-are perpetually cranky or negative
-bash the city and its inhabitants
-are selfish
-are smokers
-have little intellectual curiosity
-are picky eaters
-have racial anxiety (that's much harder as there are a lot you out there!)

It's not all drug addicts or prostitutes, eh? Shrug. No skin off my back. I'm vaccinated and my other kids are.
For real! This!

We don't. We're mostly surrounded by other women. There's a serious dearth of males in general at my school. The ones who are there are either married or gay.
Which is such a shock, b/c when you decided to go into teaching, you thought it would be chock-full of potential husband-material-types?
It's not a shock at all. It's just annoying when one is horny.
And PS, why did you expurgate my post? I admitted it was annoying to others, but you chose to remove that part from my quote.
1) You were not horny when you chose your profession? Then, don't complain now. Also: try to make an effort to attend events with your peers outside of school events (PS this does not include the PTA auction).
2) I eliminate superfluous material.
