Do not care what is said, life is not easier

Posted: Apr 15, 2013

I was going to try to Facetime with a friend tonight in another state. Her iPad was being fixed and now her's is fixed and mine is saying to enter my ID, which I did, said it was not right, tried to open up another one and still could not. I am so vexed right now. I don't give a rat's behind about what is said about things being so much easier now than in years past. What a bunch of baloney. If husband not here and I accidentally hit the wrong button on the remote and the TV went off, I could never reset to get any shows. I just recently got a car to where I could sit the time on it, forget about the GPS on the car. Thank goodness I have one my daughter bought me and I do fine with that. And don't get me going about people not doing their job!!! I made reservations about a couple of weeks ago for traveling to pick up 2 little girls who are coming to visit me soon and I stressed the importance of my picking them up as their was their first ever flight and I wanted to be sure they were with me and everything went alright. For some reason I just decided to double check on the flight today and you guess it, some airhead for whatever reason had put us on 2 separate flights!! Right now I am so tired of things not going right, be it the airlines messing up big time or my iPad. ;

Not understanding the post.

I don't know how to say it without - sounding very mean..

But I will try my best. If your Ipad is still functional, do a search with the phrase "first world problems meaning" and read the first couple of links that come up. While your frustrations you posted are valid complaints to you, they really are very insignificant. You are privileged in that you own an Ipad where you have the opportunity to Facetime with a friend, own multiple cars even though you can't figure out the technology that runs them, own remotes that you cannot figure out, and have the privilege to book plane tickets.
Can't remember your Facetime password? Here's a solution! Turn off the Ipad and pick up a telephone and call your friend! Or better yet, find a pen and piece of paper and envelope and postage stamp and write them a letter! A real one! Can't figure out the remote? Get up, walk over to the TV and push the power button to turn it off. Then read a book or go outside or do anything that has nothing to do with our first world technology! Stop complaining! You could have it sooo much worse than you actually do!

Maybe - anon

You should try not saying it at all. I'm not the OP, btw. What the H is wrong with someone just Venting? Don't you ever just vent to a friend just to get some frustrations out? Just because it's a "first world problem" that is "insignificant" doesn't mean that someone can't just VENT.

Do you feel bigger now, after trying to make someone else feel small with their "insignificant" complaints?

I'm so done with this board and people like you.

actually, I wished I could have liked her post twice - in total agreement

I thought the response was spot on. Sometimes it takes a different POV to appreciate the things in life that mean something, which is what I felt the responder was offering the OP. If you chose to leave, there is a saying about the door not hitting ya where the good Lord split ya...

People just assuming all over the place - OP

I did not buy the iPad, that was a gift to my husband. I don't consider myself insignificant, maybe you do but I surely don't. I did not buy my car, either. As far as plane tickets, yes I did buy those and I have worked so many years double jobs for years, saved and now I do not have to work with my nose to the grindstone and able to enjoy things that I was not able to do while supporting my children myself. Quit being a hater. I can vent as others do here.

Not hatin' - sm

hhahahaha Okay first off, I did not say you bought any of those, I said you owned them. They are yours, correct? Therefore, you own them. It does not matter who bought them. lol I also did not say you were insignificant, I said your complaints were insignificant (they really are). You have worked your butt off and deserve to rest and relax. So why mess with our first world technology that clearly frustrates you to no end? Put all that stuff away and relax! Do things you enjoy, not things that frustrate you.

one more thing - it sounds like

the only one assuming anything here is you. You know the saying, when you assume, you make an ass out of you and me? To me, it looks like you're just making an ass out of yourself.

And cussing me will get you thrown off this - board, shame on you

[ In Reply To ..]
It is a shame that people cannot have a decent conversation on here without words being here that really do not belong. I can vent, as can others here and you have really shown your true colors.

You said assume, not me. - You just don't get it.

I'm giving up on you. Have a good day:)

Your vapid post isn't serious, is it? - nm

He also believes that they should be given a SS# when they get their Visa to come here to work. He believes we should allow as many to come here that want to come. He supports free trade and opposes tariffs. Yeah, look how that's working out for the U.S.He believes we should replace our income and corporate tax with a federal "consumption" (VAT) tax.

So....a friend is for our US health care reform (already retired and on Medicare) because he had no trouble going to Canada to get laser surgery on his eyes so he wouldn't have to wear glasses and states there is nothing wrong with the Canadian system....but, and I'm asking a serious question here, how long do people really wait for emergent surgery if they belong to the Canadian system versus the American system as we have it now? How did Canada get their health care system up and ru ...

Adult subject. Please be forewarned, I am seeking genuine opinions in this matter. I am not seeking to instigate a riot. My husband is a lousy lover. We have been married for 13+ years and I guess it will never change. I have guided, instructed, suggested, taken over, recommended... with no results. He mostly lays there like a slug and (I guess) WANTs me to take over, but it ends up being a CHORE and there is no positive end result for me. I have been avo ...

Your day as a liberal begins at the crack of dawn with early morning yoga followed by a quick bite of dried seaweed breakfast before hitting the road to attend your latest "peaceful demonstration." On your way home, you're sure to stop and hug a few trees before jumping back on your 100% smog-free bicycle (complete with the "I break from beached whales" sticker). After a delicious lunch of tofu and egg beaters, you must pause to meditate, worship mother earth, and re-contemplate the ef ...

My grandparents lived through the Great Depression and were forever grateful to FDR for bringing the country through. When I asked them why they were Democrats, they said it was because of FDR. If, in a generation or 2, someone asks a Latino why are they are Democrats, how much do want to bet they will say because of Obama? Note: I don't think that FDR or Obama took they actions they did to build a political party, they just did what they believed was right. I will be a ...

I had taken a medical transcription course and graduated with a certificate of honors 2 years ago. I never found a job in the field despite all of the hard work and effordt I put into it. I ended up getting a PRN job in the medical field doing something different: performing hearing screens on newborn babies at the hospital. I found a job as an audiology tech at a bigger hospital and I would be doing this full time! I was selected for the position (yay!) and have to pass all of these tests to st ...

So the big news is using standing desks because sitting in a chair is bad for you even if you work out regularly.

Before his forced resignation, President Richard Nixon declared, "When the president does it, that means it is not illegal." Our current chief executive, however, speaking this year at the Pentagon on Sept. 11, said of our terrorist enemies: "They may seek to exploit our freedoms, but we will not sacrifice the liberties we cherish or hunker down behind walls of suspicion and distrust." By contrast, on Sept. 27, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Charlie Savage, the press' Paul Revere guardian ...

kindness, and clear-eyed understanding, would be in order? Lots of us have a bit of this tendency, but some may too much for their or anyone else's good, and these grim times just accentuate it. This tendency has to be combated by able people, but not with pointless back-and-forth arguments with those whose convictions are just reinforced by resistance. “As a member of the avant-garde who is capable of perceiving the conspiracy before it is fully obvious to an as yet unaroused ...

Original thread is getting pretty far down and I am curious because I have yet to hear a politican other than Mitch Daniels bring up this issue without screaming about killing grandma or using death panels. When Medicare spends 25% of it's resources on end of life treatment then it's time for everyone to discuss this issue in a reasonable fashion. Personally, and as one who is on Medicare, I feel that everyone who applies should have to include their advanced directives whi ...

No matter what I think of the verdict, I think there are some new realities for many. George will spend the rest of his life with social rejection by some, and perhaps be profiled regarding his future behavior. He may even one night be walking somewhere and fear someone walking behind him. How will he know if that person wishes him harm or is just someone walking in the same direction? If he ever has to "stand his ground" again, this case, even though he was found not guilty, will not be in ...
