PJ and Patrick, you finally meet. Obviously twin children of a different mother.

Oh, I meant besides ME, of course. No one (besides me) is perfect and no one’s life (beside mine) is perfect.

Hildy, haven’t we all used that one? Except for some of us it would be Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Katie, don’t you love catching people like that? One by one, we will root out the fakeness in the world.

Annette, face it, you’re a monster.

PJ, nice to see you on the blog!

This is so perfect and such a great lesson! No matter how wonderful someone or their life looks, NO ONE is perfect and NO ONE’s life is perfect!

i say totally cut her some slack cuz i’m sure we’ve all been there. i remember as one of my (many) most embarrassing moments as having a complete supermarket melt-down involving the three whining, crying, complaining brats in my care (oh yeah those would be my children). just as i’m threatening my son with some draconian form of punishment if he doesn’t do or stop doing whatever it is he wasn’t supposed to do or was supposed to do, around the corner comes the principal of the kid’s school–cringe!!! add to the humiliation equation the fact i was the president of the school board and was in dirty jeans and no make-up–so not a pretty sight.

I can’t stand seeing things like that! I remember years ago, my summer job was working in my father’s office. A woman came in and I knew she was a friend of my parents’, but she didn’t know who I was. She was completely nasty to me — until my father came out and introduced me. Then she was sweet as sugar. Um, sure, lady. Whatever.

Ah, the Skittles defense. Not a speakers’ jury in the world wouldn’t agree with that one!

Alkelda, this is the kind of conference where Carolyn Myss usually speaks, so you know the crowd I’m talking about. I love that she recognized how non-peaceful, non-centered she must have looked. It is pretty funny. It’s not like coming to a writers conference where you expect some grouchy behavior at times.

Patrick, I think people expect the Space Lord to get his mo-fo on. We’d all be so disappointed otherwise.

I wouldn’t condemn someone on an observation like that. Sometimes you need to get your Space Lord MO-FO on and beat down the little people. That is part of life. I see that as healthy.

Now, if she was demanding double payment because there wasn’t chilled Dasani water and skittles in her hotel room, then that might be a different story.
