Sorry, my modern mother never got me Barbies. Can you imagine? All my friends had Barbies but not I. I think I should start a thread on daughters whose growth, both emotional and mental, was stunted by mean mothers. I will never be as special as you.

No, no. Let's take it from the top. Again. Rolling Eyes

Barbies are assur. Imaginaries are allowed. Your emotional growth may have been stunted if your mother never gave you imaginary dolls with no body parts whatsoever, but not if your mother never gave you real barbies. Got that? I didn't think so.

Who asked for an example? This is a perfect example. I am teaching y'all about Imaginaries and you are still harping about other stupid stuff. How do I deal with those of us who are not as quick on the uptake?

I am sorry you are so lacking in this area. See a shrink.

And that's another thing. Imamother is full of people telling everyone to see shrinks. What's up with that? Not everyone needs a psychologist. I am an expert in human psychology and could teach those shrinks a thing or two, did I mention that?

I would never, btw, run with Hillary Clinton. She wouldn't even be fit to tie my shoelaces, nevermind be the vicepresident.

Marina-can we be friends? Finally I found someone I can compete with?

Can you cook a gourmet meal without even using one recipe?
Can you multi task by doing nine things at a time including talking on the phone conference with two people, talking to dh, text messaging someone, yahoo messaging somene, replying by imamother, and ....?
Can you clean up a house in 19 seconds?
Can you fold a load and put it away in 7 seconds?
Can you walk to Target (the way takes one and a half hours) in the 90 degrees humidity?
Can you be up until 3 am and wake up the next morning at 6 am and be all rested every day of the week?

If you answered yes to all of these then you are smarter then me and we'll have to forget about that special friendship we almost had.

Do you really imagine that I would speak to a man? I am the most religious person I know.

If your so religious why are you on the internet?

Yes, I know. And so is he. And he's also the smartest, most intelligent, nicest, kindest person alive (besides for his wife). Maybe you can disguise your voice while talking to him, so that he won't lust after a woman? But I'm sure he could help you in trying to deal with an inferior world, so give him a call.

Marina for one(ok here I go again Wink

) Why are you resorting to a forum of invisible, clueless chatterboxes for advice Confused

, if you are the smartest nicest person around we are hopeless for your situation, won't you agree?

Secondly I can see a 'drop' of the frustration, when you are knowledgable and others are not and you feel you are associating with fools. On the other hand we can all learn something from everyone, otherwise G-D would have only created the likes of yours on this planet.

Yeah, when I was reading her original post, I was thinking "now how many people are going to take her seriously?"

Clarissa, you have made me and probably thousands of other innocent young(ish) posters feel extremely inadequate. I now have to go back to bed/ see a shrink/ eat a box of chocolates - which do you suggest?

Shalhevet,

It was never my desire to make any other poster feel inadequate. True, some of you are inadequate losers who don't know a crème caramel from a crème brûlée from a flan. And some of you may have once been knitters but haven't the drive or commitment to continue to knit, another source of justifiable shame. I could go on, but it might make you feel worse.

There's a purpose to your existence, Shalhevet. True, it'll take greater minds than mine to figure it out, but there is a purpose. I'm sorry, did I just say greater minds than mine? hahahaha.

When you get there, look around frantically for someone who has just given up, after four weeks camp out, and ask for their number as they leave. In half an hour you are out.
