what exactly does this 'kingdom' consist of, and how far do you live? I could be there with a donut in no time, but I wouldn't cause I respect your healthy eating, but it's tempting, hm, does though depending on that kindom 'deal' :laugh:My kingdom far a plain cake donut tossed in cinnamon & sugar! :laugh: :drinker: :bigsmile:0 -
One of our vendors brings a dozen doughnuts in every Thursday. We have a Biggest Loser contest among my group. Half of the people are involved.
About 2 doughnuts get eaten each week. We throw the other 10 out Friday afternoons.
It's funny though, whoever has the 2 doughnuts doesn't want the others to know, so they just turn up missing.0 -
Some even on MFP can you imagine THAT!:huh:
There are alot of people out there who don't have filters on their mouths!

Our IT guy brings donuts in every couple of weeks, he always comes to me first with my favourite one (blueberry fritter). I've had one out of the 8 times he brings them in :indifferent: They're just not as good as they were before I started MFP :noway:
I don't think your husband's grandmother was being vindictive, but good on you for tossing them and a high five for putting the dirty diaper on top of them!!
Cheers jewel :drinker:0 -
Well, I don't know the relationship and I have encountered a few sabotagers in my time (an older lady at work who also coincedentally brings in donuts/cheesecake/cookies daily, and probably weighs 85 lbs, and pushes them on everyone and when I say "NO" she gets pissy with me because everyone else gobbles up 2-3 donuts)
But aside from that.............. lol......
Good job on not eating them, but maybe next time maybe rid yourself of the donuts more productively, like bring it to a homeless shelter or nursing home or feed them to the birds with your kids or somethin'.....:flowerforyou: (that's just me, I hate to waste food, maybe why I need to lose some weight!) :laugh:0 -
Wow, the people attacking the OP really need to step off.
ONE: Just living longer so far than I have does not automatically make you a person of respect.
TWO: You have no idea what the OP's relationship is with this woman...maybe being disrespectful or manipulative or abusive is a pattern for her. The OP may be fed up with this behavior after dealing with it for years.
THREE: This is a vent thread. Have none of you ever said things in anger or frustration that exaggerated the severity of the issue? Have none of you ever had to just get something off your chest? Ever just felt unreasonable angry about something, even if you KNEW it was unreasonable, and KNEW you were over-reacting? By the way, if you say "No," you are lying...or a robot.
Let the woman vent, sheesh.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! You made my night. The attackers of this post made me :noway: . I thought I was back on the weight watchers message boards! LOL!
See, though, but here is part of a problem here on this board....the word "attackers."
Somebody posts a "vent" in a public forum inviting, obviously, opinion and discussion. If one disagrees it's not attacking, it's expressing an opinion. Even if the opinion is "wear your big girl pants," it's not an attack.
If opinion isn't wanted, then one should blog not post in a forum.
No, we don't know the history of granny-- all anyone had to go by was your original post-- so, sure, we looked probably back into our own feelings and histories of OUR grannies or ones we knew and expressed our opinion. That's not an attack.0 -

Thanks you took the words right out of my mouth.Somebody posts a "vent" in a public forum inviting, obviously, opinion and discussion. If one disagrees it's not attacking, it's expressing an opinion. Even if the opinion is "wear your big girl pants," it's not an attack.
I did see the attack in a different post not in that one.. judging and attacking.
I honestly did not see where she ASKED something. She obviously vented. And opinions are fine but judging and attacking is a different thing.If opinion isn't wanted, then one should blog not post in a forum.0 -

Thanks hon! And I also saw it as an attack but it's ok. Everyone has their opinion. This place isn't anything like the boards over on WW. You can say it's a nice day out and get attacked. lol. I don't post there but I lurk quite a bit. The new moms board is the worst. Very catty!!!!0 -
What the hell???? Are you serious???? A GRANDMOTHER acting this way!!! So proud of you for dumping them and the dirty diaper as an added touch just brings so much joy to my heart....lol
Your posts always crack me up!!!
Why thank you ****taking a bow***0 -
I'm sorry but I have never, ever understood why it is that people think we should always respect the elderly. Just because they are older doesn't give them the absolute right to be disrespectful and often times down right nasty to everyone who is not as old as they are! Be respectful to me and I will be respectful to you, no matter how old or young you are.
To ron2282.....this woman is obviously being a witch and trying to sabotage all your hard work! Good for you for resisting temptation.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS. I think that peoples reaction to this post is harsh. We are all on this site to support one another and this is obviously an issue. Whether or not people feel like she is overreacting (which I don't believe she is) is not the point. Just because someone is "old" or on a "pension" doesn't make them nice. I don't know why people believe that to be true. My grandmother is one of the most evil people you will ever meet and we haven't spoken in almost two years because she is so mean (and this is definitely something she would do to someone she didn't like). My sister doesn't speak to her, my Mom rarely speaks to her, my Aunt doesn't speak to her nor my cousin, so I know it's not just me "overreacting". I wonder if the reactions would be any different if she said it was her mother in law or sister in law. Why does the age matter and why are her feelings any less important just because it was an old person who was trying to get under her skin? I hate reacting to posts in any negative way because I don't like the drama but this time I just couldn't help it.0 -
I love that you threw a dirty diaper on the donuts to make sure you wouldn't eat them. Priceless! :laugh: :laugh:0

Love you Mrs. Beck. ....Totally agree. If you can't vent in this community about this EXACT TYPE OF THING then where can you vent? You worded it beautifully!!!0 -

Thanks. I've learned that some people LOVE to be nasty just for the sake of causing drama. I guess their lives must be really boring or something. :laugh: I just laugh and move on when someone is nasty. But I agree with you about the age thing. Just because someone is old doesn't make them immidiately deserve respect. I could write a book about dh's g'ma and how manipulative she is but you get the point. This is a woman who tells my daughter (a 4 year old) "Oh, I have your easter, Chrismas, bday gift BUT before I give them to you, you MUST come to my house." She holds gifts hostages from her own grandchild? She can easily come here but wants me to pack up my 2 kids and drive to her house just for the sake of control. I'm not playing her game. Sorry for the rambling but I can totally relate!0 -

I love the dirty diaper bit! Lol. I also agree age don't matter. You don't give me respect I am not giving you respect. You give me respect I will give you respect regardless of age!0

Yes there are some really rotten people out there, who are not always keeping your best interest at heart. I guess seeing so many people come to the aid of that rotten lady means maybe they haven't personally dealt with coniving people who are trying to undermind your efforts, and I guess that is a Good for them!!! Now I have seen a lot of this done, and it just isn't a loving thing. So I back ya babe! Good job in throwing them out! Even better that you took the high road and didn't throw them in her face! Love the Diaper bit too, diapers, dirt, dog hair all seem to work for me, sometimes throwing one of my 14 year old's sock in there after it works too! Keep up the good work! 0

This place isn't anything like the boards over on WW. You can say it's a nice day out and get attacked. lol. I don't post there but I lurk quite a bit. The new moms board is the worst. Very catty!!!!
I am still on the WW boards, under my 2nd profile. I had to have them delete my 1st profile b/c a group of attackers got my personal info & posted it all over threads b/c they didn't like that I called one of their lil clique members a jerk over a jerky comment that was made.
How did they get my info? My dumb *kitten* had my real first & last name as my screen name. All they had to do was google me to find a heck of alot of info. Lesson learned. Never use your real name.
I stay in the Neighborhood thread w/ locals from my own state & its been safe there. I was on the Special Occasions threads but recently those people turned against me too & I decided not to go back.
One more issue there & I probably wont be going back.
People on MFP seem alot nicer & don't go off like they do over nothing on the WW boards.0 -

I've heard about that being done to someone else also! I used to post in the new mom's section years ago but stopped because people were literally getting attacked and called names for the littlest most innocent questions! A newbie asked if she could still be on WW while pregnant and I couldn't believe the mean responses she got! They were telling her she was a "bad" mother for asking such a question. It was her first baby and she was very overweight. I felt so bad for her. She never returned. They also are very cliquey and if you "offend" one member you offend the entire group! It was really a witchhunt over there. MFP people are so different and very nice (well, except for some of the ones in this post) but for the most part, I love the people on MFP!!!
Oh, and BTW the diaper was only a pee pee one. NOT a poopy one! The poopy ones go outside in the garbage can! LOL!:bigsmile:0
