Have you ever been taken by surprise when someone insulted you? Were you at a loss for words?
Put-down artists count on the element of surprise when launching insulting remarks. Master these comebacks and put put-down artists in their place.
When someone insults you, look him or her slowly up and down and come back with:
1. “Have you always been this way?” (They'll be left wondering what you mean.).
2. “Are you on medication for that?” Shake your head sadly.
3. “By the way, I've heard of a program for people like you. It's called Effective Communication Skills.”
4. Give them a pitying look and ask if you can get them an aspirin.
5. “Do you always mask insults with humor?”
6. Pat them on the shoulder and say: “It's obvious you are under stress. Is there anything I can do?”
7. Mention an acquaintance of yours who is always putting others down and make the observation that people who do this suffer from low self-esteem.
8. Thank the person profusely for pointing out what's wrong with you and lay it on thick until they get uncomfortable.
9. Laugh (purposely misunderstand them) and tell them that you are going to tell all your friends about their remark.
10. Give a big yawn and glance at your watch. (They see that their remark didn't get a reaction.).
11. “We are so alike in some ways, aren't we?” (This is particularly effective if someone has made an insulting remark about your weight.).
12. Ask the person to repeat what they just said. Then ask them to enlarge on it. Tell them you still don't quite get it and keep asking for more details.

Stupidest Things

Stupid is as stupid does.
This guy though he could take his plywood home this way. The only reason it didn't work is because his back tires exploded and his rear shocks popped out of the floor, all because of the 3000 pounds of concrete and the stack of plywood on the back of the car.
Some people act so stupid today.
Either because they drink or take drugs.
Most of the crime these days is because of drugs.
The huge amount of crimes in courts these days are 98% drug and drinking related.
So if people stopped being druggies or drinkers, most crime would have stopped.
So please don't do drugs, it is unhealthy and will most likely get you to prison.
14 Hot Designer Cat Beds Where Rich Cats Sleep

Does this photograph remind you of anything in your home? Me either. But designs like this are really inspiring. The artists who created the cat beds featured here use their talents to pay tribute to the natural elegance and variable nature of the cat. Even if they are out of your price range, they're not too expensive to admire!
World-renowned furniture designer, Elizabeth Paige Smith, takes her cat furniture seriously. The Prrrounge, like her other cat beds, is a sleeper and a scratching surface, made of triple-walled corrugated cardboard. Her designs are right at home in any modern or rustic environment and are all environmentally friendly.
Another seductive sculptured cat bed from Ms. Smith's shop. If I were to purchase one of her works, it would be difficult to decide on which one.
The best-known kitty bed of Elizabeth Paige Smith is the Kittypod, for which her studio is named. The Kittypod incorporates the corrugated cardboard scratching surface and other parts are made mostly of recycled wood materials. The big bowl accommodates all size cats and, of course, provides a scratching surface for them also.
Another very instinctive cat furniture designer, Kattbank, here works with glass to create a purr-fect place for kitty to hide and still be seen. This masterpiece, by J. Parker of esque, complements another glass sculpture rom Kattbank I featured in an earlier column (see Vaso by Kattbank at Where Rich Cats Poop). Because Solo is custom made and hand blown, sizes are approximate: Length: 22-25 inch. Width: 11-16 inch. Height: 9-12 inch
Glass artist A..Kovel of esque designed this rich glass cat bed for Kattbank. The Ciambella bed has a walnut stand and measures approximately 19-22 inch diameter by 6-8 inch height
Another environment saver, corrugated cardboard is the material used to create the Cat Cacoon sculpture by One Form Design. This cat bed is multi-functional, providing a resting place, a scratching surface, a toy and an interesting sculpture (especially if there's fur sticking out of the holes)
Gloria Baumann of Kittie Krafts,makes everything she sells for cats. And the furniture designs are exact replicas of human furniture. She will make her Kliners, Kouches, Loveseats and Klounges for you with your own material, if you wish, so that they match your own furniture. Doesn't the Kliner look just like a human recliner? Purr-fect for your cat to stretch out and watch the Planet's Funniest Animals
The Klounge Kittie Krafts has many couch and chair designs, but do take a look at Ms. Baumann's custom work .
Love That Cat carries neat cat sofas in different styles and fabrics that allow you to match your interior design and your cat's personality. The fancy sofa above comes in four styles and fabrics
