Come to think of it, I have not personally met the alleged, so-called "Donald Trump," either.[/highlight]


Hmmm,... any particular reason why you used President Trump to make your point?

Why not Hitlery, or, Obammy?

Just wondering.

Let me try to explain using small words. You wrote: "I don't believe the identity of anyone on the internet, until I meet them in person and check their creds,... period." I believe that is impractical and unwise. You have not met "Amy" in person, so you must not believe her identity -- "period." You have not met Charles Cooke in person, so you must not believe his identity -- period. You have not met Donald Trump (or Hillary Clinton, or Barack Obama, or many other people) in person, so you must not believe their identities either.

I believe that it is wise to be skeptical of things you read on the internet, but also to use common sense and judgment as well, and not to deny (or question) that somebody exists just because you haven't met them personally.

Did you understand that explanation? Do you still believe that I am being gullible because I believe that David Hogg exists, even though I have never met him personally? Or, in light of this explanation, have you reconsidered your position?

Well, first off,... you don't know me or who I have met, so save the diatribe.

Second, no, I have not changed my mind, my question still stands,...

That's called misdirection -- changing the subject. You got caught with your pants down when the other poster showed that "Amy" is a real person, so rather than say "I guess I was wrong; I have changed my mind," you say "I can't admit I was wrong so I won't change my mind, and you're a commie pinko Clinton lover, aren't you?"
I used Donald Trump as an example of a person whose existence you acknowledge even though you haven't personally met him or checked him out -- as proof that you yourself don't believe your own words. Too subtle?

It takes a big man to admit when he is wrong, but you haven't and won't admit you're wrong.

It's just as you thought. Hes a deep state anti trump operative contracted by Russian trolls and assigned to undermine the Bumbling Bafoon of Manhattans standing in Arizona shooting circles with a speciality in conspiracy seeking black helo seeing paranoid likely voters.

Thank god you ferreted him out. Were all safe now.

 

[shooter444]

Riiight,... I believe you.

 

[Crippledtrigger]

You're damn right you do. It's your default conspiracy, deep seeded brain washed anti trump pro all things evil on the left he must be.

My god he said trump and wasnt offering to blow him at the time so he must be out for his destruction and the rise of the second comming of the love child of Obama and Hillary. Lab created and genetically engineered to bring out the downfall of your little world.

It seems Dear Amy has moved on to more pressing concerns of modern life. An insightful view into the kind of people who ask a newspaper columnist for help.

Ask Amy: He pees on the floor. How do I, as a woman, fix this?

DEAR AMY: I have wonderful in-laws. They don’t meddle or criticize and are generally cool people to be around.

After the birth of our first child in March, they’ve come from out of state to stay with us a few times. However, I have an issue that I really have no idea how to approach.

My father-in-law is getting on in years, and it seems he does not have the ability to hit the toilet reliably when he urinates.


Amy, I understand that aging comes with all its indignities, but is it too much to expect him to sit down to pee?

Ideally, he would realize the problem and have the decency not to pee onto our bathroom floor. But of course that isn’t the case.

Although I’m a woman, I also guess that there may be a whole host of underlying psychology stuff that happens when a man is no longer able to stand up to pee.
The bottom line is: I don’t have the time or energy to be cleaning up someone else’s urine! Doing it for one human is quite enough.

I’ve thought about passing this off to my husband to handle, but as a matter of personal growth I’m trying to stop avoiding conflict as I’ve done in the past.

Any ideas?

Pissed Mom

DEAR PISSED: You seem to think that this is the right time for you to stand up and confront someone who is doing something you don’t like.

Nope. This is the perfect moment to avoid conflict.

Bringing this up to your “wonderful” father-in-law could prove deeply embarrassing to him. Why — oh why — would you choose to do this?

You have already made the connection that caring for an infant and an older person have some commonalities. In both cases, cleaning up after someone who doesn’t have total control over bodily functions can actually deepen your understanding of the human condition. Yes, it is NO FUN to clean up urine. But yes, it can be done with love — or at least compassion.

Here are your choices: You could ask your husband to speak to his father about his toileting habits: (“Dad, we’ve noticed that you are missing the toilet. Is the lighting in our bathroom bad for you?”).

You could also ask your husband to compassionately clean up after his father so that you don’t have to do it.

Of course, your husband should be on diaper patrol with the baby, along with you, but perhaps during those times your in-laws are with you, you could strike up a deal: “I’ve got the baby; you take gramps.
