    “It’s not rocket science.”
    Aside from the fact that it’s over used, I find it unimaginative and condescending.

    I don't like it, either. It's kind of cute or funny to me when it's used by teens, but not by actual adults.
    For example a friend's 15 year old daughter posting that she's had too much adulting this week with doing a bunch of cleaning, laundry, and signing up for college prep classes.

    But if you're 38 and whining about "adulting" you are a sad case indeed, Pam.

    Anything reminiscent of those “Bless This Mess” signs people hang in their homes.

    Sending some prayers your way is a only a mouse click and keyboard away when you know they're really eating pizza and swilling a soda pop. o:)

    Saying you "Love someone to death" - I find it ghastly and it always makes me cringe.

    Also, in reference to euthanizing a beloved pet and saying they put the animal "to sleep" - or even worse, saying you "put the animal down." UGH! Just be direct, respectful & tactful and say you had to euthanize or even "let them go peacefully" or something. As someone who has painfully had to face this four times now, I still can't stand when people say either one.
