elegantlion Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) I just need to vent this somewhere and it won't even make sense because I'm going to be vague. So instead of whining alone, I invite you to whine and vent as needed (within board rule parameters ;) ). If you'd like to add some wine to your whine, feel free, I may be opening up a bottle soon. :rant: I am going to be the bigger person (that is going to be my mantra for the next few days). I will hold my tongue and keep my boundaries because crossing my own line to really let fly what I'd like to say is not going to be productive for anyone. As someone pointed out there are things called CONSEQUENCES and it doesn't matter if it's years later, they still happen. :smash: :smash: I am not your buddy, I do not come when you beckon, and I am playing nice because because because I.AM.THE.BIGGER.PERSON!!! :rant: *steps off soapbox and hands it to the next in line* Edited January 15, 2016 by elegantlion 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSmomof2 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 This thread is so timely for me.....I also have a couple situations where I am trying so hard to be the bigger person.

Carrie12345 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Okay. There are no real resources for "skinny" people with a "fat" disease. Seriously?!?! Oh, Dr. Google can tell me it happens. She can tell me they're twice as likely to die. But she still wants to tell me they should lose weight. (Sure, there's other stuff too, but still primarily focused on reducing calories.) :cursing: :rant: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsheresomewhere Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Between the dog and some other crap this week, I am done. My vent (besides the vet crap I posted earlier) is that when you say we something is for all ages. Don't advertise that and then when people show up, they won't get annoyed that really means 3-7 year olds. Just say what you mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 My living room looks like a crime scene because the 7 year old spilled a glass of fruit punch all over the carpet. Never mind that I said she could take it in there (grrrrr!). But it's been such a pain to clean, as I had knee surgery 2 weeks ago and am still in a full leg brace. *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFSinIL Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Thought we were done with that car crash (from May 2014) but turns out my adult on-set asthma may really be part of my lower right lung being swollen around what looks very much like a small bit of the crumble glass that was flying around in the car as we spun out of control....two bronchoscopies have not been able to remove it (whatever it actually is) and now I am seeing a thoracic surgeon next week about her getting more invasive - and I might have to have the entire lower lobe removed. ^^#*@%%(!!!! If it is indeed from the accident, it has been in there long enough to turn black and make the tissue around it swell up. No wonder I wheeze! At any rate, pulmonary doc is pretty sure it is not plastic, as it is irregular in shape and very hard. And if glass, it would not have shown up on the x-rays and ct scans I was hit with after the accident, probably.

OnTheBrink Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Back in November, the executive director at work wanted people to start a "fun committee" for social events. I joined, along with about 5 other people. I'm not sure how it happened, but one person placed herself as the "head" of this committee, which is totally fine. However, every event the "fun" committee has had has involved drama, complaining, bitching, moaning and the ever famous, "I'm the HEAD of the fun committee!" She booked our Thanksgiving pot luck on the same day as an orientation meeting for new institutions. She refused to move the potluck, despite being told by the deputy director to move it. We got it worked out, but still, it was really bitchy of her and of course, she threw the "head of the fun committee" card. Then came the Christmas party. She didn't bother to check the agency calendar to see what meetings were planned and she booked the party on the day 1/3 of the agency would be out. She, again, refused to budge, saying it was those people's fault and she was the HEAD of the committee and despite half of us wanting her to move it, she adamantly refused. So, the event the 1/3 planned was moved. Also, part of Christmas is that the agency sponsors a needy family through a local charity. I was in charge of organizing this whole thing, and part of our donations to this family was a catered Christmas dinner, which one person offered to pay for. This person came to me quietly, so I didn't announce who the donor was to the whole agency. Well, within 5 minutes of my emailing everyone that the meal had been provided, she zoomed to my desk to ask who paid for it. I refused to tell her and she tried to pull the "head of the committee" card. I didn't budge. The "fun" committee really has nothing to do with this. This brings us to yesterday. The board chair wanted to thank us for working so hard with out a budget. The Executive Assistant was who the one who coordinated the lunch on the board chair's behalf was putting platters of food on the table, getting it set up for everyone. The HEAD of the fun committee came in and was literally rearranging things behind her. I was in there, trying to help. I finally asked her what she was doing. She said, "I don't like it like this. And i AM the HEAD of the fun committee!" So, I said, "Well, this isn't a party YOU are in charge of." and I put everything back. After the luncheon, the executive director had an all-agency meeting and this woman was called upon to share some projects she's been working on. The first words out of her mouth were, "I'm the HEAD of the FUN committee!" I swear, if I have to hear about how she's the HEAD of the freeking committee, I may just pop her up the side of her HEAD. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My father didn't bother to wish me a happy birthday (I was actually at his house that day after returning from a trip with my sisters), didn't call me for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's. But late last night he called to see if I thought the Packers were going to win. He lives in Georgia and cares not one whit about the Packers. But I guess he cares more about them than he does me. Sigh...I never realized just how much Mom did to make sure Dad's behavior was socially acceptable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolt. Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) I wish the *whole internet* somehow already knew that even though many people have husbands that have work-life-balance issues, some people have husbands with chronic illnesses... And would donate a solid gold planet if they could in any way upgrade to (their own) husband with merely work-life-balance issues. And I really wish I knew what all the pop psychology around marriage actually means in real scientific psychology. Those 'warning signs of divorce' / 'avoid and be happy' articles legitimately make me panic. I keep on vowing to stop reading them, and then I accidentally catch another one. I'd really like to know: is it called "contempt" when you accurately assess someone and find them intermittently incapable of normal cognitive processes? Is it 'contempt' just to think so? Or to say so? Or to say so, if you are angry about it in the moment, and it comes out nasty-sounding? If you feel that way, does it really help to just make yourself not say it? Or are you doomed for feeling it? And, if 'there's hope' for marriages as long as people are still engaged, even if they are upset, and that proves that they are engaged... Why then do I work so hard to feel resigned, and distract myself, and not care so much, and not hurt so much? Is that also a mistake that is going to ruin everything? And why can low-income people get cheap help, but qualified help will cost me more than my mortgage. Shall I just wait until my marriage explodes, and then I'll have no income, and *then* I can get free, qualified counselling? What kind of sense does that make?

I know some of you love it, some of you actually do things out in the blasted white stuff. Bless you, because otherwise certain portions of the US would be overcrowded.

He says he never got the notice they were due. I say you should know when they are due and not rely on the notice. They are due at the same time every year. I had an excellent driving record but this goes on it as a moving violation. I am furious. Edited January 23, 2016 by NorthwestMom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only found out in a way I could have totally missed. . Edited January 23, 2016 by happi duck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Well, no snow day would be complete without the dog pooping on the floor. He made it better by stepping on it. (So not only do I get to clean poo, but I get to clean it from between his little furry, doggie toes. Yuck.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Crown Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Let's talk about Cedar. All the folks who moved here this year wonder why they have some sort of super-flu bug that lasts for weeks. The HEB has a big display of cough, cold, flu, and allergy medications; vaporizers, cough syrup, headache remedies, antihistamines, lemon tea ... Not that anything works. Shoot me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Urg....local gossips & homeschool clicks. I thought we all had left middle school, mean girls, try mean women:( Petty jealousy, made up half-truths, stirring up the ****, it's really disappointing. Right there with you. Some women I didn't realize where becoming mean girls, were. People have left the group because of them. Some feel the need to try to please them to "fit in." I am the bad guy because I said enough was enough. I am not longer included in their little clique. And the hard thing is, they gossip about each other!!!!!!! It is a sick, twisted vortex of a snake pit. I can't wait to be finished with all of them by the end of the year. Dawn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
