What TV commercial do you hate the most?
ooh, that’s a good one. the commercial i hate the most, but actually don’t see anymore, is the “head-on, apply directly to the forehead” commercial. it was always on during/after one of the shows i watched all the time. apparently, they have expanded their line of products and have added subsequent commercials. who knew it would be so popular?
I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!
things have not been going that well for me. i don’t really want to get into it. do you ever feel like you’ve been run over by a semi? that’s how i feel right now. i’d love to say, “at least things can’t get any worse” but i know that if i did, the floor would fall out from underneath me.
let’s say i was in a street fight. well, i got jumped from behind and held down while someone repeated punched me in the face. then, when i was lying near unconscious on the floor, i got kicked in my stomach until i was really out cold.
now, i’m just laying in the street playing dead. maybe tomorrow it will be safe to get up and wipe the blood from my mouth.

Hope things turn around for you soon……..
yikes! even metaphorically, that’s a bad day…
I’m so glad I don’t have a t.v.
Shoot, I hope things improve for you… That’s really all I can say….
I’m sorry. I hope things turn out okay.
I hate that commercial too.
Have things gotten better since you posted this? I am sad that I missed out on encouraging you when you were feeling so down and out too…
I’m a lousy xanga friend lately, I am sorry about that.
I do hope that you are feeling safe enough to wipe the blood from your mouth by now. And that if you aren’t that you have some support “real life” friends that could help you do that.
Oh… I have learned to never, ever say “things can’t get any worse”. And that was also learned the hard way.
Okay… I don’t know if I would punch someone if they said this to me when I was feeling down and out… but I’ll give it a shot and hope for the best…. but maybe (just maybe) God is allowing you to go through a really, really hard time so that you can empathize with someone else who will have gone through a similar situation and so that you can be part of their “support network” and be able to impart sensitive and “real” advice (rather than those wonderful, and fairly unsympathetic, pat answers that some people give… like… “well, we all know that God won’t give you anything more than you can handle”… or “have you prayed about it?”
Even though the “at answers” are technically right answers… I couldn’t imagine Jesus walking up to a man who just lost his daughter, or the leper who has been ostracized by his entire community and all that he has ever known…. to say “hey… you know… you just got to pray about it.”
No… Jesus was THERE for them. He touched. He knew the power of being present in people’s lives.
Okay… I’m… uh.. on a soapbox. I’ll get down now.
I just wanted to say that I’m really sorry to hear about what you are going through, and I know it will get better.
I personally can’t stand the freecreditreport.com commericials. The songs seriously get stuck in my head, and I can’t escape them. I can’t tell you how many dreams I’ve had where I’ve woke up in a sweat quoting “Freecredit report dot com, I could’ve seen this coming at me like an atom bomb.”
