This is how I feel when I read KU. Some of you always have to have the upper hand no matter what the subject is.


FROM WEBSITE - I think divinecaroline.com

Everyone knows someone who likes to one up others. Whether it?s a casual acquaintance or a close friend, she just can?t abandon any chance to prove how much smarter, better, wealthier, more fortunate, less fortunate, or sicker she is than anyone else. Whenever you tell a story, she has one to top it. When you have good news to share, she has fantastic news. Anything that happens to you in your life, she?s experienced something more amazing or more terrible.

?You?re going to Florida for a week? I?m spending the summer in the South Pacific.?

?You missed your morning bus? I got hit by a car and had to walk five miles to work in the rain.?

?You had the flu? I almost just died from an illness so rare that it hadn?t even been discovered yet, and they?re probably going to name it after me.?

The constant one-upping isn?t meant to make you feel like number two, though; it?s usually just a way for the one-upper to feel better about his or her own life. In her book When Friendship Hurts: How to Deal With Friends Who Betray, Abandon, or Wound You, Dr. Jan Yeager, PhD, writes, ?The one-upper has low self-esteem; if he were self-confident, the need to always be ?one-up? would diminish or disappear.? A one-upper isn?t really trying to convince you that he?s the one who?s the best looking, smartest, fastest, or most interesting?he?s trying to convince himself. 

Pathetic rant, I once ranted for 3 pages.

So very sorry. I edited the post.

But I could come up with a better slam than that. One time, my husband was the first winner of some award for slamming people on the internet. 

My husband won three awards for internet slamming 

I invented the internet and someone beat me up and took my notebook on the way to the invention store. 

My husband won three awards for internet slamming

My husband is the one who created the awards for slamming people on the internet. 

My husband created slamming 

I had 3 husbands.... 

What a funny thread! Liz, this sort of thing is what makes KU interesting- nothing is more boring than sunshine and harmony- the media has conditioned us well! 

BTW, I created the word slamming, and I've had 6 husbands- 

I CREATED THE ALPHABET.

AND CAPITAL LETTERS. 

i created small letters and punctuation. 

James, was the man who beat you up Al Gore? 

Where is Dotti when she is needed????? 

My turn. I am taking a year long vacation to visit every exotic paradise in the world. I improved the internet. I had 5 husbands, one who will never be found and Specs delivers to my house. 

Specs delivers to my house.

Come on now, thats a little over the top don't you think? No one is THAT important. 

I am. lol 

I have a Pet Country. 

I'm the Emperor around here and they won't deliver for me. Why are you so special? 

I own Specs and their delivery service. 

I invented Tequila

In less than an hour I will be in route to a Caipirinha.

And Jehovah's Witnesses.

Also, Mutton, my friend Lisa sells Leblon, a Brazilian liqueur to restaurants and hotels and on her fb page she's always talking about you should come and try Leblon caipirinhas. 

And when I say "you", I mean, "you, mutton". And maybe emp, too. 

Very intriquing I do say... 

That all sounds great... But...
