Just like it says. I thought that I would post a topic that was something that you kids would really enjoy, instead of my usual rants about things I dislike. Discuss amongst yourselves. Hope that helps you some. Thankk Mee.;)

I'm not a crier, so I don't cry at weddings, graduations, surprise birthday parties, etc. DH cries enough for two of us. He cries every day. He's worse than John Boehner! He says he'll never have a heart attack because of it.

However, I have been known to cry at certain uplifting movies. My kids have seen me sobbing my eyes out at Schindler's List, Stella, Dad, Les Miserables and Camelot.

Maybe weddings need a soundtrack and a few close ups. Maybe then I'd cry.

No, but I just received this and I'm so touched, sniffle, sniffle, they must love me after all

... :~)

On November 26th, Verizon is making the busiest travel day of the year a little more enjoyable by giving you all-day access to music, audiobooks and other digital giveaways from Amazon, Pandora® and more. Plus, stay connected with 1GB of data today through the end of your bill cycle. Then, enjoy ANOTHER 1GB of data to use through the end of your following month's bill cycle. Why? It’s simple. We want you to stay connected so you can make the connections that really matter. This season is about finding reasons to be thankful, so here’s our thanks to you!


Oh joy, joy, so I can go over my data allowance and pay even more after I spend half the morning fiddling around to see what's actually included and get it wrong anyway! Thank you, Thank you! I weep tears of gratitude, Verizon!

That is great news, I will be on the train half of the 26th so if I am awake I can listen to lots of cool stuff.

And i cry, I hate it. I tear up all the time even when I really really don't want to.

Depends on how good the catering is.

I cried at my youngest brother's wedding, but normally I don't cry at weddings

Well, they say it's unhealthy to stifle a yawn or a sneeze; how about crying at a wedding--should you suppress it?

Depends on how good the catering is. Yah--a wedding reception with multiple kegs of "Oly" beer and unlimited amounts of PIZZA!! Catered by Mama Sciaticatapozzo's Old-World Sea-Tac Style Pizzeria!

I "cry" when I get a wedding invitation these days, not at the wedding. I dislike all the pretense, wasted money, and large amounts of debt left after one of the sordid affairs I've attended in the last few years -- and each one is seemingly worse than the last. Weddings have become a circus side show with drinks and bad food rather than a solemn occasion of the union of two people.

I cry at weddings. And funerals, baptisms, high school graduations, kindergarten "graduations" (even though I think they are stupid), you name it.

It's embarrassing and I wish I didn't, but I don't know how to stop it.

bae........do you cry because it's so bad, or because it's so good? haha

I think I would only cry at my children's weddings (I'd be hearing "Sunrise......Sunset".......)

I've never cried at weddings, unless of course, I was in some sort of severe pain. :~)

Oh I can cry at a commercial on TV. So weddings? Yes. I'm usually a silent crier so I can hide it pretty well...but every now and then...let's not go there.

Ha Ha. Me too. Kind of ruins the make-up. Otherwise I'm not much of a crier overall and generally never at weddings...unless they run out of cake.

I don't cry at weddings; I rarely cry at all. But tell me a poignant animal story and I'm all verklempt. Like this one:

Yes, even TV ones. Didn't cry at my own though; I was too caught up in it all.

Great dog story!…I also love all stories about dogs and humans, like Greyfriars Bobby (http://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofScotland/Greyfriars-Bobby/) and such. And come to think of it, I definitely cried buckets when my yellow lab died--more than I did for some of my human family members who passed, I'm afraid.

aww, that dog-hero is 1/2 boxer and 1/2 bulldog, I can tell by looking at him, or maybe he's bulldog mixed with pit. But either way he's got a lot of bulldog DNA. And, it's his other genes that propelled him toward smart, heroic work. Da bulldogs are good at copping cookies and zzzzzz's, problem solving is generally not their forte unless it is a problem to get to cookies or zzzz's. :D

I listened to Sarah Silverman's new comedy club performance CD yesterday and she had something to say about this. She does edgy, boundary pushing jokes in her spoiled-little-girl voice and the combo kills me. I think she is (often, but not always) hilarious!

Anyway, she was commenting on her love of pets and how Americans love their pets and she said something like this "If all of those starving children in Ethopia were Golden-doodles, Americans would have solved all of their problems within 48 hours. They couldn't stand to see dogs suffer. But it's just humans over there, they aren't as popular."
It's true.

Yep, I'm a cryer. This has been in the last 10 years or so. I cry at weddings, funerals, graduations, mile-marker birthdays, etc. I cry at any heart-warming story. I cry about abandoned animals and children. It's rather pathetic!
