How funny that you are commenting on the new name for Randy. Meredith and I just tackled this issue with a different poster. What's in a name? I think TONS. It's always good to see someone get rid of a negative one. I really believe it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Betsey, your post made me smile at times, feel sad at others, and shake my head in agreement a lot. My H came in as I was shaking my head at the monitor, and he asked, "What are Meredith and Betsey up to now?" He couldn't even see the screen, but must have been able to tell by my body language. Incidentally, some day I will tell him how much he owes you two!!!
Anyway, I wanted to address something that is bugging me.
Yesterday someone posted a link to a site about WAS's. It was proclaimed "hilarious" or something like that.
Um, I don't know why, because I rarely venture to things like that, but I went to look.
Now, I consider myself to have a pretty good sense of humor. For crying out loud, Mer and I roflol all day long sometimes.
What I don't see is how those stories were funny.
They were sad and somewhat disgusting. A lot of those people didn't seem to find their situations amusing. (as well they shouldn't have.) Most of it just seemed angry.
I guess I just can't understand the horrible, vile names for the OW. (The posters all seemed to be bitter women.)
Isn't one of the mantras here: The OP is a symptom, not the disease?
I'm sure I am going to be told to lighten up, or whatever. It's not a case of that. Hey, if you guys think it's funny, then that's your prerogative. I'm not saying it's not because I say it's not. I'm just saying I don't understand that mindset.
