I wondered who the "other" was. Now I need to wonder who the other, "other" was.
I am. I lack the accent, the mannerism, the pasty complextion, and I have spent most of my adult life living elsewhere, but I am.
I'd say at least half of you need professional help. If not socially or personally, developmentally.
Me too, but I never left (except for basic training and AIT at two different bases). So all told, I've been gone less than six months.
Always make your poll results public, so you don't have to wonder who voted for what. So far, I'm the only one in the "trigger the meltdown" camp and that largely depends if I have a reason to like the person or not.
I never really had the Minnesotan "way." Being mostly of Mediterranean decent sets you apart all by itself - at 5'4" (which is the national average for women) I'm "short" in Minnesota. I am also the only person who gets a tan.
I consciously fought the accent and the Minnesota nice all my life. I can't stand it!!
So as a result, I have a perfect CNN accent and I'm generally a bitch.
No, not at all. I'm saying that sometimes we treat people with kid gloves when they don't want or need to be treated that way. Like an ignorant lady who speaks slowly to the guy with down syndrome bagging her groceries. We worry about their mental state so we treat them like an uncooked egg, which may not be as helpful as we think.
Some people you can stir their pot with logic and I can just tell they are punching thier keyboard or kicking thier cat LMAO
