I Comment Therefore I Am

Welcome to another edition of I Comment Therefore I Am, where I put together a post from comments I’ve left on other blogs. Below are some of my favorite posts from the previous week and what they inspired me to say.

The Urban Cowboy asked for input on what sucks for you when someone else is sick?

It sucks if they have a cough and you’ve spent the whole day taking care of them and you are exhausted and want to sleep, but they keep you awake with their hacking and you care, but damn it you’re tired!!!

The Absence of Alternatives did an “I Comment Therefore I Am” post last week about the discussion/confrontation that occurred in the comments section of a post she had read. I had read the same post…

I had to stop myself from going back to that post because I would just get pissed off. I couldn’t even make myself watch the whole video because it made me feel embarrassed. You know when someone is saying or doing something so embarrassing, but they aren’t embarrassed so I have to feel embarrassed for them.
 
Awhile back, my husband came home with a book for me that he didn’t know anything about, but he said the title reminded him of me.  What was the title? “Bitch: In Praise of Difficult Women”. He truly meant it as a compliment. I have never pretended to be easy. The song “Hard Headed Woman” by Cat Stevens also reminds my husband of me and he loves me the way I am, which is good because I do me really well. 

For those of you that do not know the song I am referring to, it goes like this:

I’m looking for a hard headed woman,
One who will take me for myself,
And if I find my hard headed woman,
I will need nobody else, no, no.
 
I’m looking for a hard headed woman,
One who will make me do my best,
And if I find my hard headed woman
I know the rest of my life will be blessed — yes, yes, yes.
 
I know a lot of fancy dancers,
people who can glide you on a floor,
They move so smooth but have no answers.
When you ask “Why’d you come here for?”
“I don’t know” “Why?”
 
I know many fine feathered friends
but their friendliness depends on how you do.
They know many sure fired ways
to find out the one who pays
and how you do.
 
I’m looking for a hard headed woman,
One who will make me feel so good,
And if I find my hard headed woman,
I know my life will be as it should — yes, yes, yes.
 
I’m looking for a hard headed woman,
One who will make me do my best,
And if I find my hard headed woman…
-Cat Stevens

TechnoBabe shared a post with an example of the word adultery used incorrectly as a child. I used to do that all the time.

When I was a little girl my would have friends over to play cards and they would outstay their welcome as far as I was concerned. I used to go into the room they were in and yell, “Vayanse Adulteros!” I thought I was saying, “Adults, leave!”, but what I was really saying was, “Adulterers leave!” I guess none of them were adulterers because they would just laugh hysterically and stay.

Aunt of 14 shared an embarrassing moment that had me in stitches, then she challenged me to share one too.

I was working by myself at a place that sold toiletries and I really had to go to the bathroom, but I hated leaving the floor unattended. I went to the bathroom and rushed because I could hear that a customer had come in. When I went out, I saw that it was a man in a wheelchair. I offered him help and showed him around. I would walk in front of him and he would follow behind. Well, he seemed to have no interest in buying anything, but he just kept following me around. Finally, he left and I went behind the counter and put my hand on my hips. That’s when I felt a huge lump where I had tucked my dress into my underwear and I had been leading this man around the store with my backside on display! 

That’s it for this edition of I Comment Therefore I Am.  

Do you give good comment? Wanna play along? Go forth, spread the comment love, and turn it into a post (I keep a draft post open while I read blogs throughout the week).  Recycle, reuse, and reduce my friends; it’s the wave of the future.

Oh and feel free to comment on my comments otherwise how will I know that you exist.

If you play along please link back and/or post the button below. Spread the love, spread the love!

If you do play along let me know in the comments and I’ll link you up.

 

P.S. Last week I asked for your input on whether I should keep this as a weekly feature, go monthly, or get rid of it. After listening to you and my gut, I am going to keep it weekly, but I reserve the right to take a Monday off here and there.

    good thing the Adulteros and your backside display episodes were not combined.
    That's a good Cat Stevens (who changed his name to something I forgot) but my favorite is "Father and Son"
    (oh it takes about a minute for him to tune up)

    Oh my….I too have fallen victim to the tucking of the dress into my underpants. It's humiliating!
    Best,

    Love the dress tucked in your underwear. That happened to me once, but a kind lady told me just as I was getting in the elevator of the parking garage on my to work. She saved me so much embarrassment, and I was soooo grateful!

    Oh my goodness. I can't believe you wandered around showing some man your backside without knowing. lol. I think I would have turned beet red! I also enjoyed your comment about telling the adulterers to leave. That sounds like something I would have done!! 😉

    I once worked in on a floor with about 100 people and I saw one of the woman who tucked her skirt in in the bathroom walk across the floor. I nearly broke my neck trying to tell her quickly. Poor woman.

    🙂 The one you left where you said you talked to your husband about HIS vision? (That you'd have his eyesight checked in 5, 10, then 100 years?) That was one of the funniest comments on that very long, and often not-so-funny, thread. I love your comments. They are like pieces of gems you leave behind you when you go out for a stroll.

    This is a great idea and I've been thinking about doing this for a while. I'm a bit disorganised, therefore I'll see if I can come up with a post for next week or the week after and if I do, I'll get back. Meanwhile, I'll keep visiting!

    It could be worse. You could be half awake after a night of being kept awake by the coughing one, coming down with the cough yourself, while giving rear shows to random gentlemen. Nothing says professional like a sleepy coughing exhibitionist!

    Oh dear – I was intrigued and followed back to see the wives 'Summer Challenge' video and uh-oh what is all that about? It made me feel frustrated and a little sad – this lady is totally misguided Any man I've ever known would think that I'd completely lost my marbles if I started behaving like this. So would I take part in this challenge? As my daughter would say: I think I'd rather eat my own head.
