You Can't Buy NOTHING With 2 Cents

Ever wonder why they call opinions "2 cents"...because "2 cents" (and some opinions) Ain't. Worth. Shit.

How is it that people can see the ant across the street but completely overlook the elephant in their own yard? It seems as if people always have the answers to YOUR problems while they are drowning in their own. Don't get me wrong, I understand that we tend to have clouded judgement when we're going through things and sometimes seek counsel, but it seems that the people who always have their 2 cents to share are the same people that you wouldnt even pay 2 cents for their advice or opinion.

I really hope that it doesn't seem like I'm bitching or ungrateful for advice or offered opinions, but it's just that I don't understand how you can look at my spreading hips and blurt out "girl you're getting fat" without expecting me to reply "oh well you must have beat me there"! In my opinion one could easily ease that comment in by starting out with with something like "I know I'm in no shape to talk but, girl you're getting fat"...it really lessens the blow and makes the person feel less attacked when obviously the person has NO room to talk.

Well that was was my 2 cents...
