Absolutelyfabulous, I see that you frequently post argumentative and inflammatory comments on articles and posts so I'm going to assume you just enjoy passing judgements and offering criticism without the benefit of perspective, self-control or compassion for fellow humans.

I prefer to view my commentaries as Point/Counterpoint alternating between a Jane Curtain and Dan Ackroyd approach. Just that much more fun.

Based on your articles, I'm assuming your children are very young and you haven't been married all that long. Give it time. Even your husband, if he has his own sense of being, will grow tired of your Narcissistic/judgemental/insecure demeanor. The questions will be will he stick it out, take on some new hobbies ie drinking/staying at the office "late" or just shut you out. Time will tell.

If you had such a problem w/ how your child's friend acted, then you could have spoken to the instructor and asked if they noticed anything that was not proper or did your daughter even mention that something had not gone right or asked her if she felt uncomfortable or better yet, today's catchword "bullied". Better still, did the whole dance scenario play out as you are describing, with such detail and embellishments, or is it actually how you perceived it to be based upon your own perceptions of reality?

Sincerely,

AbsolutelyFabulous Ackroyd.

"Absolutelyfablous" also known as "Nameless" "Nate" This jerk changes his log in name many times in the past months. This was his profile a while back and then changed it.I'm ultra conservative and proud of it. I believe in free speech no matter what little feelings you liberals have. I love our country and work hard without feeling the need to cry out and recall our officials.
Most likely you're just one of the sheep that follows your union boss, likes to smoke weed and get welfare. You often protest by yelling your dumb childish chants and pooping all over the place. You're a communist and want all the rich people to give you what they worked hard to achieve.
You will burn in hell one day and I'll be roasting.
This is what you think you are jerk!

Actually Ed-

I am Absolutelyfabulous. Nameless/Nate Napattak as he was originally on this blog changed his moniker yesterday for a few hours to Absolutelyfabulous as well. After I called him on it, he changed it to Nameless. Think whatever you want, but I have always been Absolutelyfabulous and will continue.

Cheers

@HRG -

WOW - it feels like it has been forever since I've seen you here on the Patch!

Hope everything is going well for you!

I can honestly say that I've NEVER been envious of anyone. Have I felt insecure at times - absolutely, but it was more or so disappointment with myself as opposed to a comparison with others. But I quickly overcame such feelings with a deeper understanding of both myself and life in general.

Of course I've encountered arrogant, excessive, and 'snooty' people, but I've never made such an assessment premised solely upon the clothing worn, the kind of car someone drives, or the size of one's 'pocketbook.'

I don't know that I've ever personally 'judged' anyone in the comments I've made here on Patch. But yes, I have assessed the ideas and/or actions of others here on Patch, as you point out.

My world is just as real as anyone else's - remember, everything is relative to perspective. If you feel that I've transcended in some way, all I can say is thank you for the compliment :-)

@JRH -- That post left me envious of your self-assurance. LOL

@Randy1949 -

Maybe it has something to do with that Peter Gabriel soundtrack that follows me around when ever I leave the house ;-)

If you were able to watch the video clip I attached to Nick's blog, then you probably know what I'm talking about here!

@JRH -- I did watch it. Just as long as you don't have twelve guys trailing you constantly and telling you you're the bee's knees, it should be all right. And I'd watch out for that red-haired guy if I were you.

@Randy1949 -

Tell me about it - that red-haired guy is really starting to give me the heebee jeebees.

But I do have to admit, constantly being compared to Willem Dafoe and having such an uplifting Peter Gabriel soundtrack follow you around is kinda cool!

Absolutelyfabulous - if this blog upsets and angers you so much, I genuinely don't understand why you keep coming back to it. Furthermore, you cite information about friends and friends' children, but you offer no personal experience with parenting and the feelings that come along with it.

This article was about YOU projecting your insecurities/bitter feelings about others through the situations that your daughter was currently in causing you flashbacks. It wasn't a funny or even positive article. I wonder if your daughter's friends/classmates & parent(s) clue in to how you view some of them and up alienating her/you to only reinforce your deep seated resentments/feelings.

Your daughter's dance class can't be that big that people can't put 2 & 2 together and it's more like 1 degree of separation vs 6 in these very small communities/municipalities.

When your daughter wonders why was/is she possibly not be invited over to someones house or birthday party..Maybe you should look in the mirror.

BTW..The more posts/views this blog has then it jumps up in the Most Popular Blog Posts and that would mean more people are reading this. Hopefully, some more classmates parents who you describe in such detail and despise will find out how you really feel about them and their kids.

Cheers!!!
...

Kids do not come with a set of directions, even if they did not everyone would read them. Your child is learning there are idiots everywhere, and she will learn how to deal with them. Some of those snotty kids will learn a lesson and turn out good- others will wind up like AbFab. ;-P
When the day comes that your child takes first place, she will be humble and respectful of the others.
That is when you know you have done a good job!

You are bitter, insecure and jealous in this article and used this forum to take potshots at your daughters classmates/parents w/out giving them the benefit of the doubt or a chance to defend themselves. Better yet, why don't you confront those who have caused you so much anguish/pain and see what their side of the story is. Chances are they have no idea in HE** what you are talking about/why you are so bitter or know that you even exist. Making mountains out of molehills.

If you don't like the responses you get or you're not happy that they are not 100% positive, then don't write and put it out there in the open for people to comment on. Really very simple.

AbFab: You made your point and voiced your opinion- move on already!
Does someone have some unresolved childhood issues?

LOL...welcome to the club.
I was thinking of changing my handle to AbFlab, hope there is no copyrite issues?
I can't blame my thyroid, it is my inability to pass up a donut. :-)
I do not think the 'author' of this 'article' was bashing a class of people. I doubt it is a case of income envy. I think it is a class issue, but not in the sence of class as we see socioeconomic classes.
I can relate to her story ( though I must admit I have no freeking idea of what a Forenza sweater is ).
I have had the pleasure of having millionaire friends, and I never noticed any difference in how they treated other people.
I do know the snooty type she describes also, and it is not related to income.
I also should point out I know some really sweet and fantastic parents who somehow ended up with kids who suffer from envy, greed, and jealousy. At times they were downright mean, and mom and dad had no idea.
I am also aware of some great kids who have idiots for parents.
I guess we all fall somewhere in the bell shaped curve.

Craig-

Levothyroxin could potentially help you speed up your metabolism. Though, you may end up w/ a rapid heartbeat, excessive sweating and dizzy spells. But, hey all in the name of weight loss.

The 125 MCG of Levothyroxin I take every morning, 2 hours before I eat on an empty stomach just keeps every muscle from painfully and excrutiatingly cramping up at every turn, allows me to stay awake/keep my eyes open, allows me to walk w/out feeling like I have the most severe case of shin splints and keeps the migraines at bay.

All in the name of good health

I appreciate the information, though I am not much for taking meds. My Dunlop condition (where my belly dun lopped over my belt) is due to lack of excersize and poor diet. I do take meds for MS and diabetes which is an endocrine issue and explains metabolism. My biggest problem: if there are donuts within 1/4 mile, I will find them. Working out to burn it off is another issue, the discipline to do so- I do not have. ;-P
I admire people who have the discipline.

Craig-

You've been hit w/ a double whammy and for that I do feel for you. I have a friend w/ MS and the emotional toll it takes can drive a person crazy never knowing what may happen next or how long a situation/new symptom may last or possibly lead to. I saw him after quite a few years and to be honest, except for looking a little older he seemed to be the same person w/ a slight limp. The tingling/numbness/temporary loss of function has got to be a very heavy load to deal w/ to say the least. You gotta keep moving to keep that blood circulating for your diabetes which your MS may impede. Don't know what your situation is or what you have access to, but swimming or just getting in a pool and moving does wonders for circulation w/out all the dread/pain that comes w/ running or aerobics classes. Plus you work a full range of muscles. Adding some weight training helps. 9 months of 1/2 hour daily on a stationary trainer was a start but then I had to step it up to joining the WAC and taking the classes offered as part of membership. After busting my A$$ for 3 months doing spin/bodyworks/swim laps I have to take it in a new direction and add specialty classes to get to another level. You gotta do what you gotta do and what you can. I am able to do much more and for longer than I could before but I'm still soaked w/ sweat, mostly dreading it and never know if I'm going to feel good or feel like sh*t during a workout no matter how long I've been doing these workouts.

@Craig -- There's a promising new MS drug on the horizon. I happen to know one of the very talented people who had a hand in developing it. One or two years.

As for donuts -- can't help you there, dude. I just don't have them in the house.

I wasn't going to chime in...but weight happens to be one of my more favorite (and hated at the same time) topics.

I had to go on a heart med 2 weeks before I got pregnant. I ended up gaining about 70ish pounds in part due to the med and my love of M&Ms. I lost a little after she was born but then had to go on a 2nd medicine for something else. For years no matter what I did, I could not lose any weight. I tried everything. Drs kept telling me the med was weight neutral and that I just needed to work harder. I was so discouraged and felt like such a failure.

One day I decided the med wasn't really worth the effects and I weaned off of it. Within 3 months I lost 32 pounds (AND quit smoking). Weight neutral my arse.

I still have 10 to lose and still feel like a fat lady. Very insecure about it. I am still on the heart med which makes it a little harder...but I could also truly work harder this time. So...I will. Before my 20 year reunion I am just going to do it.

As for donuts and the like...I have NO self control. So I just absolutely cannot have it in the house. Which is why I REALLY wish I hadn't bought those damn Girl Scout cookies. :)

Anyway - best of luck to all trying to lose...it sucks.

AbFab: The Financial toll can be just as bad. I had a surgeon tell me all was related to disc and bone problems in my neck. Two operations and $400,000 later and I was left with the same issues, whicj is beyond the scope of his specialty. A second opinion thought I had ALS because of my refelxes. It took 5 months to see an MD who specializes in that field, another two months for a biopsy. That can turn anyone's nerves on edge wondering about the what ifs.
Randy: I am taking Tizanidine. Slowly increasing the dosage weekly, it should take a few months to get up to normal dosage. Though it is an MS drug we are assuming it is chord damage causing the rigidity, spasms, and lack of controll. On a semi bad day I walk like a drunk. Last week I had a guy in his 50's stop in his car next to me and he yelled, "you F... drunk, go home and sleep it off."
HRG: 10 pounds is probably not something anyone else can notice, but I wish you luck. Stay healthy first and foremost.
I'd rather be fat and happy, than be fit and a jerk because I am miserable from starving. :-P

When the DINKs have kids, the kids tend to get hyper-focused on. All the best that money can buy, if you catch my drift.

Anne-

I can't imagine anyone not having some type/s of insecurities at one point or another. One can either dwell on them/accept the situations as they are/change them/work around them.

Just go to a class reunion and see how things have changed over 20/30 years. Some people who were outcasts are potentially some of the most successful people in the room and vice versa. Mrs. Olson is living in one of the best municipalities around w/ TOP NOTCH school systems. That's your daughters ticket or at least a start. Take advantage of what is at hand and try to make the most of it. Did Mrs. Olson move from Riverwest to Fox Point possibly because of a safer community/parks/school system?

I have a problem w/ someone being so vicious towards someone they don't even know or their circumstances of where they came from/what they have worked for/what they have possibly overcome/what they have achieved or what they possibly married into or inherited. You can't pick your parents.

And..If someone blows you off or sticks their nose up then who really cares or needs that garbage in their life.

Nate Napattak-

Don't know how you switched your moniker to mine but it will be taken care of soon. BTW..How incompetant can one be to get kicked out of a teaching position at a grade school let alone St. Robert's in Shorewood? ABC's were a little too much to handle or possibly the transition from printing to cursive was a roadblock she couldn't overcome and teach.

Nameless, or I call myself Absolutelyfabulous, or Nate, or Nate Napattak, or Nate the Hate, Below are comments this poster has made over the past few months. Along with his profile which he has now changed. This poster must be on dope and have nothing better to do with spare time. Many other people are fed up with this poster also.

I just want to poop all over the rotunda and tape my signs of hate all over the nice marble walls.
I'm ultra conservative and proud of it. I believe in free speech no matter what little feelings you liberals have. I love our country and work hard without feeling the need to cry out and recall our officials.

Click on this link below I beleive this is how he views himself. It's Classic.

Anyone know of Nate's wife who was kicked out of her teaching job at St. Robert's. We identify that link and then we all know who has changed their moniker to Absolutelyfabulous and posted comments I have no connection to ever writing. Isn't there something potentially illegal w/ that smart move.

Once again, Nate's wife went to Carroll College. Got kicked out of her teaching job at St. Roberts in Shorewood. They live in Menomonee Falls. Connect the dots and then we know who the poser is.

Cheers

Actually Real AbFab, I had that little triick done to me once, so I can't claim being original. Tell you what though, I'll be happy to stop if you will. Looks like you bested me. I can be man enough to admit that.

It's a glitch. There, I changed to appease you. Are you paranoid or something?

A glitch possibly but purposely manipulated. I'll tell you what. I'll let you know when/after I find out your true identity. I've copied and printed all emails in this thread. REMEMBER..Always cover yourself.

It shouldn't be too hard when/if I put in the effort, outside of what has been posted for many people in many communities to read.

Like I said...I grew up in Shorewood just a few blocks away from St. Roberts. Many people I know sent their kids through St. Roberts before they went into the Intermediate School or the High School. They're still parishioners and very active in the school/church/St. Roberts Festival.

Can't be too tough to find out the name of the female teacher who was fired from St. Roberts, got her degree from Carrol College in Waukesha and lives in Menomonee Falls w/ her husband.

Really, just a few phone calls and or letting my fingers do the walking on my Qwerty keyboard.

Next time think before you act.

What ever makes you feel good pal. With all that energy you might as well run for governor.

Go for it!! Though, watch the puddles in the driveway. Better yet, wait a few weeks and you can take in the glory of my tulips in the front yard if the rabbits don't eat them 1st.

BTW Bewildered here is one of your other posts-Not as crazy and out of touch as most of your others.

"Sorry Paul, not a MF resident. But I am a long term conservative elected official and wish you the best. Anyone running for public office is a hero in my book "

So tell me/everyone..what municipality are you an ELECTED OFFICIAL in?
