RU - Thanks for the laugh. It sounds like her PC is afraid of her!

As for pregnant ladies eating spicy food...more power to you. If it tastes good and doesn't make you sick, who's to say not to eat it. Another miss info on the loose

 

[LadyJeanPirateQueen]

She informed him that pregnant women should NEVER eat spicy food because it is deadly! She told him he was literally killing both the baby and me by cooking spicy food for me!

Then how on earth did I and DS survive when I was pregnant? I craved pickled jalapenos on EVERYTHING and downed Pace picante' sauce by the gallon.

I guess I better tell my in-laws, they live in Arizona and weren't aware that there are only hospitals and gas stations. I do know there is a Home Depot, because my FIL works at one part time. I guess that wasn't an airport my DH's plane landed at on his return from California. They live in Surprise, AZ, maybe that is the Surprise .

My dad retired in Arizona...apparently he didn't get the memo.
Here's a little tidbit for Miss Info: tell her that southern AZ is the only place in the world where the giant saguaro cactus grow. Her response will probably be something like, "That's rubbish, I have one in my backyard."

EG - PLEASE get a pic of this woman!! I must know what this beast looks like!

 

[laurie31]

His boss FREAKED!!! She informed him that pregnant women should NEVER eat spicy food because it is deadly! She told him he was literally killing both the baby and me by cooking spicy food for me!

Dh tried to reason with her, telling her that my dr. (who happens to be Indian) approved of it, and that there are millions of women all over the world who eat spicy food all the time and have perfectly healthy babies, and as long as I didn't have indigestion or heartburn there was no reason to stop....(Dh loves logic)...

That's totally hilarious! What on earth does she think Indian women eat when they are pregnant?

Ok I read the first 36 pages and my ribs hurt BAD. I have laughed 'til I cried. I must find time to read the rest! I have 2 great stupid people stories. I'll post them in 2 seperate posts.

 

[CrazedDisFan]

Okay, we have a married couple that are our 'friends' through another couple...

The couple Bob and Nikki own a timeshare that they use in Tennessee and Vegas. The conversation went like this...

Nikki : Hey, you guys want to go to Vegas with us? We can stay in our timeshare. We have room.

My dh: That sounds like fun, but we can't get off work that week.

Bob: I can't wait to go. I have never been to Arizona.

Me: Ummm... Vegas is in Nevada.

Nikki: OMG Bob, you are so stupid. (She looks me in the eyes and says..."He was never good at geometry in school. No wonder he doesn't know where nothing is. "

We laughed until we cried. Right there in front of them. It took a long time to explain the difference between geography and geometry. I honestly don't know why I tried.

 

[CrazedDisFan]

Dh's in management at his employer in Michigan.

He had an employee come to him and request 2 weeks off. Dh asked him why he needed 2 weeks.

The employee replied, "I am going on vacation out of the country."

DH, "Well, you have the time, so yes you can have it during that time frame. Where are you going?"

Employee, " Kentucky"

Dh, "Kentucky is not out of the country. It is in the United States."

Employee, "I was born there. I ought to know. It's in another country." Then dh says he stormed off and told everyone dh was harassing him about being a foriegner.

The employee got his time off and made it safely back in the country.

Reading those, I thought maybe you were here in Alabama, sounds like something a redneck would say.

The employee got it wrong. Kentucky ain't a whole 'nother country. Texas is. Says so on our free travel brochures.

ROTFL!!

I think I know where nothing is! It's in their heads!

And I can't even wrap my brain around someone thinking that Kentucky was another country. Did the guy show his passport at the border?

 

[Evil Genius]

CrazedDisFan - Welcome to the pack. Those stories are priceless!! Next time I visit relatives in Kentucky I'll make sure I take my passport so I can get back into the US.

Miss Info comes to me this morning asking if I am really outta here after today.

Me - Yep off to Florida.

Miss Info - And you really are spending the whole week at Disneyworld?

Me - Yep

Miss Info - Because if your going to go somewhere else too, that's okay.

Me - Nope just Disneyworld. Don't even have a car rented...

Miss Info - WHAT?!?!? You don't have your own car?? What if you have to leave? What if you don't like something going on around you?? How are you going to take care of it?

Me - I don't think anything is going to happen and if it does, Disney and I will figure it out.

Miss Info - Tell me you're at least taking a couple of pairs of comfortable shoes.

Me - I have my gym shoes and my crocs. Both well worn in.

Miss Info - CROCS!! WTH are those? Oh not those cheap rubber shoes you walk around in?!?!?

Me - My crocs probably cost more than the pair of shoes you are wearing. (See now I just want to get her goat)

Miss Info - I don't think so, I paid $15.00 for these shoes.

Me (laughing) My crocs cost double of that.

She didn't believe me so I opened the crocs website and she saw just how much my "cheap rubber shoes" really cost.

I can't wait to see if she tells me to have a good time when she leaves this afternoon.

 

[Hedy]

What if you don't like something going on around you??

EG's inner monologue: Heck, that happens everyday you're here, MI.

 

[lyzziesmom]

Miss Info - And you really are spending the whole week at Disneyworld?

Me - Yep

Miss Info - Because if your going to go somewhere else too, that's okay.

Remember her trip to "Vegas?" I guess she just can't comprehend that some people actually DO go where they SAY they're going.

 

[minniecarousel]

I wanna know where she finds $15 shoes!? And are they at all comfortable?

 

[lyzziesmom]

I think it's funny that she made it sound like her shoes were not cheap, because she spent a whole FIFTEEN DOLLARS on them!

 

[RUDisney]

I wanna know where she finds $15 shoes!? And are they at all comfortable?

I figure her shoes are probably from Payless. She's probably of the mindset that you don't have to buy "good" shoes as long as they're cheap. If you want nice cute shoes, Cutesy Shoes on ebay has nice cheap ones. The ones I have on today cost me $6.99 + shipping from that storefront. If you have a DSW near you, you can go to the clearance section and often times get really nice shoes that are comfortable and CHEAP. I bought a pair of Stuart Weitzman's in there a few weeks ago that were 80% off. I paid $27 for them. TJMaxx also has nice discounted designer shoes sometimes. I bought a pair of Kenneth Coles there on Tuesday for $20.

EG, I wish I could find real Crocs that are cheaper. Until then, I'll keep paying $30 for them. Maybe she thought you got yours for $5 at Payless.

You should have shown her the prices on the new line You by Crocs. Those are over $100 per pair. www.youbycrocs.com
