People Be Cray Cray

In response to this article about Angelina Jolie, Facebook fans of US Weekly had this to say:

Why did I 'xxx' out their last names?  I don't know...they don't really deserve anonymity, do they...having posted their comments on a PUBLIC FORUM?  But, I'm making fun of these people, and I don't want them to google themselves and then kill me for revenge.  (I tried to clean up the language a bit and so you're not reading an exact copy/paste below.)

    • Tisa xxx An Octomom in a different form.
      13 hours ago · 

    • Crystal xxx What's wrong with having nannies? They are taking children into a home and giving them opportunities and a family they wouldn't have otherwise. Yeah, so they are working parents, they work to earn their money and they choose to spend some on ensuring there are additional people to help care for their children- a responsible choice. I have 4 children, my youngest, 4months old has Cystic Fibrosis, a terrible life threatening disease. If I had to/needed to work full time I would do whatever I had to to make sure I could hire a nanny/nurse to be in our home with her. No one knows their personal lives and nobody should. Just saying...why begrudge the success of other people? Create your own. Because personally, I'm just thankful I don't have to pay for their nannies- you know like how our tax dollars go to pay for free childcare for some people that have 5 and 6 kids and a sense of entitlement to go with them.

    • Pat xxx Why dont you concentrate on the ones you already have?Quit trying to mother the world and spend some real mommy time with the kids you have instead of putting it all on nannies.If I had didnt have to work,I couldve spent more quality time with my kids.You have that ,but still run off to make more.You only have one chance to be a kid.To bad your to busy to see that...Grow up..

    • Kelly xxx I hope not. I wonder how many milestones she's witnessed of her children...she's so busy being someone she's really not (look at her past) that she's missing out on the best part of having kids and they're missing out on having a real mother who's present in mind and body.

    • Kylee xxx I love that the majority of people are commenting as if they know these people personally. You really don't. You don't know how many nannies they have. And even if they do, when you work, don't you have someone babysit your kids? If not a nanny, then a day-care, for sure. It's her body and their choice as a couple whether or not to have more children; same for those Duggars. People need to seriously stop judging so much. Do you want to be judged? Didn't think so.

    • Rosalinda xxx I love how Kylee shields is commenting as if she knows any of these judgemental people personally. Kylie, you really don't. You don't know if they know Brad and Angelina or not. You don't know if they know Brad and Angelina's nannies. You don't know if they have kids or jobs. It's their opinion and their choice to voice their opinion as individuals or as a collective unit on a Facebook post that beckons their comments. Same for judging the Duggars. You need to seriously stop judging judgmenetal people so much. If you stop judging judgmental people, I will stop judging you for judging judgmental people. But I will not stop judging Brad and Angelina or the Duggars for that matter. I don't care if they have more kids. I just want him to stop saying things like perfunctory and impervious. I want him to take his shirt off and shut his mouth. I want her to put on about 5 pounds. If she gets up to 115 she'll be perfect.

    • Mandy xxx I kind of understand why they haven't gotten married. Marriage in Hollywood is kind of a bad omen. Not many people make it past 5 years together. Maybe not getting married is better when you're a celebrity.

    • Summer xxx Me and my man have only ever been with each other, and we have been engaged since June 5th 2002, but we have actually been living together for 11 years. And we have 4 gorgeous children together (our 3 girls and 1 boy are perfect to us we won't be having any more). At the moment we ar...e not married. I will marry him, when I feel the timing is right for both of us-he needs to be ready as much as I do. We have had the rings (diamond tiara ring and celtic mens band from 2004), since before our 2nd child came along in 2006. But eventually we want to sell our house and get a new one that we both think is our dream home. We also want to get a few things out of the way before we go ahead with a wedding-Wedding is a very special event between two people, and does not need to be rushed. Since relationships can't be rushed, and marriage-which focuses on a relationsip between two people really is the beginning of what is supposed to be a lifetime of love between two people. His parents are divorced and my parents are divorced. What is real happiness to me and anyone who loves my children, is that me and those that love my children are greatful for my 4 children existence in this world. So our 4 children are loved now and loved always and to one day make a life for themselves. All 4 of our children are kind hearted children, each with there own unique personality and there own looks. ED-Creative, Imaginative and thoughtful. Energetic. Son considerate and tolerant of others, he cares for his sisters, and wants to help look after the youngest 2 girls, comical and very sensitive. 2nd Daughter, driven and focused, enjoys role playing. Loves to interact with others-brings people together. 4th just 2 months-3rd Daughter, a sweet heavenly lotus flower, draws others to her, not shy, very alert, is always looking here and there. When you hold her she might look at you but then proceed to look to the side of her then look up and around, so she can take in all of the world around her. She is very content, like my 2nd daughter was as a baby.

    Summer-isms, Vol. 22

    "She basically yelled at me with her bell."

    "Maybe it's just a weird homeless guy who stole a vest from me."

    "Even if I had the nicest dog in the world, I would be afraid that my dog would bite my baby's head.  It seems only natural."

    "Even bad guys make me wear a helmet."

    "What do you think of those topless hats?"

    _____

    Me: "That guy's name was Hamish."
    Summer: "It doesn't matter.  I'm gonna die alone."

    My Redneck Family

    Many years ago I brought a friend that was visiting from Colombia on a road trip up north to see my parents. I wanted him to see beautiful northern Minnesota.  We stopped at my sister Kim's house to visit and go ice skating on her pond.  She has a picture winow in her living room overlooking her beautiful yard.

    This is the view from her living room.

    Here's what it looks like in winter.

    Anyway, we were all sitting in her living room, gazing at the view.  Right outside the picture window, Kim set up a birdfeeder so she could watch the birds from her couch.  A tiny chipmunk scampered across the roof of her porch, eating the birdseed.  I think my Colombian friend liked that the best.  We stared and stared at God's beautiful creation, as it ate and scampered and ate and scampered.

    Suddenly "KAPOW!" the chipmunk fell over dead.  My sister shot it from her bedroom window.  Apparently the dirty varmints had been stealing her birdfeed for years and she'd had it.  You should have seen poor Ricardo's face.  It was kind of like this scene from the movie Australia:




    Now that I think of it, poor Ricardo actually DID get to "see" beautiful northern Minnesota.

    Makeup and a Dress


    The other day at work, we were sitting in the car finishing up some paperwork and an older gentleman came out to the end of his driveway and stared me right in the eye.  I shrugged my shoulders at him but he kept staring and so finally I rolled down the window.  

    He said, (in a Native American-slash-Canadian-slash-Mexican accent), 

    "To be honest with you I wish there was a problem here all the time so I can see beautiful women like you."

    "Damn.  You know?"

    "Both of you are pretty."

    "The way you are right now?  I can imagine you in a dress and some makeup."

    "I've been watching you work, and I thought, man, she can look like a movie star.  You know?"

    "It's incredible."

    Summer was on the phone and I was talking to this weirdo and writing everything he was saying really fast.  She wondered what all the hubbub was about and ended her phone call.  She leaned across me and asked him what he needed, and he said,

    "Don't believe who hired you.  Believe a stranger.  Don't believe whoever hired you.  It's not correct to hire beautiful women.  You know what I mean?  Do you understand what I'm saying?"




    We had to take a picture of ourselves.  Because we could look like movie stars?  You know?

    Sole Survivors

    I didn't save a lot when I sold everything two years ago. So when I came to spend a few nights in my house back in Minneapolis...imagine my delight when I foraged in my storage area and found enough to make this little bedroom nook. Bedding from a trip to China. Nightstand from Target. Air mattress courtesy of some good friends. It feels good to be home.



    UPDATE: I SPENT 30 HOURS HERE. IN A ROW.
