Good point, but by that time I assume if I haven't heard about it from a formal announcement or from mutual acquaintances I don't know her that well, and I'll just keep my mouth shut. (Which I admit is my default strategy in most situations anyways.)

Sad to say people have made that mistake with me. More than once. I forgive. Usually. I may never forgive the woman in the pool locker room who blatantly stared at my stretchmarks and said ooh, "how old is your baby". 6 years "Oh you look like you just had it". Thanks :(

Another pregnancy tip. Don't assume other women will be as conscientious as you would be. Before a work night out (not my present place of employment!) I heard that D had just found out she was pregnant. She was a bit scary, so I was pleased to have something to say to her when we found ourselves checking our make-up in the Ladies.

"No drinks for you tonight then!" I said.
About 3 hours later someone reported back that she wanted to have a word with me - I'd really pissed her off by lecturing her. Yup - she was drunk and loving it and I was an interfering bitch. I had enough courage to approach her, but not enough to tell her what I really thought. I just apologised for any misunderstanding.

Yeah, I was a coward. But when I say scary...?

Always read the fine print. If you don't understand it, don't sign it.

Tell me about it. I mean, I know the form SAID 30 years of house payments, but I didn't think they were serious. I figured after 3 or 4 years max they'd forget about it or lose the papers or something.

When stopped by a rookie state trooper, don't call him an arrogant young bastard.

The problems come when people think they understand but are mistaken

Laugh at your own stupidness. It ain't a bad thing.

Don't wipe your arse on a broken bottle.

If it's free, have two.

you cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, it shouldnt be too hard to steal

From my grandmother: It's OK to blow your nose and wipe yourself with the same piece of toilet paper as long as you do it in that order.

Welcome to the cellar,Reg.

Never put looking good before physical comfort.

Uh Oh, the fashion industry will be sending a hit man to Drax's house.:eek:

If I'm killed, I will drag his soul to hell with mine.
