I'm Currently Feeling: | Nice Lady yesterday Hey,
Went to Sheffield last night for a gig. Passed this lovely woman in the street who gave me her blessing and wished that i have a safe delivery of my baby. It was very sweet of her, was kinda expecting her to be asking me for money or something!
Made me feel really happy, there are nice people in the world. Not just people who make rude comments.
On the other hand, i feel for every pregnant woman in Sheffield. Isn't that place built on about 27 hills. God my calf muscles were killing me, not to mention my back!

I'm Currently Feeling: | I was also surprised yesterday by a nice gesture. Went to a ladies room and there was a queue and the ladies told me to go ahead! I was so shocked that there are still such thoughtful and kind people out there. Just as I was beginning to think the world is full of bad people, a small gesture like that has helped improved my opinion of the human race. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I've come across some nice people like a lady who let me go in front of her in the queue at the grocer.
I was shocked the other day though. I went to watch a musical and during the interval I went to the loo. I was standing half in the queue because I was leaning against the wall and this woman tried to push in front of me!!! COW. She gave me such a look when I said to her "excuse me, but I was here first". It was just so rude of her to try push in even if I wasn't pregnant, but to push in front of us preggie ladies with our now squished bladders is just plain mean. | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | I must say I have only experienced the latter - no nice gestures for me  If a lady said that to me I might cry from happiness! I would make my whole month! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I like it when people are nice, it gives you that warm fuzzy feeling. When I was in high school and working at a fast food place, I was having a horrible day. People were being extremely rude, we were super busy and I just felt like everyone was against me. Obviously you could tell how I was feeling because of the way I was acting and the look on my face. Well this family came up to the front counter and ordered their food, they were very polite. Once they got their meal, the lady turned around and said to me "Jesus loves you". My heart just sunk and it instantly put a smile on my face and almost made me cry.
Now that I'm pregnant, mainly men have been super nice to me. They open doors, bring me food or whatever the case may be. Some women are nice and tell me that I look good (bless their hearts) and then you have "those other people" who are just plain vulgar and don't care what comes out of their mouth. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Yeah,I have also noticed it is more men who are nice than women. I also had a man who refused to get into the elevator with me because he was smoking and didn't want me to inhale the smoke. He stood outside and said he would take the next elevator.So sweet. |
