Vent about my hubby during this wonderful holiday season ... (sm)

I get so resentful around this time of the year. All the expectations! It makes it hard to enjoy it. Feeling like everything has to be perfect. This year, I am so broke I'm not going to be able to have one of those "perfect" Christmases. And I resent that. Gosh, I wish it could just be another day!!!! ...

I learned I will not purchase any gifts from the "wish lists" of the youth in our family. Yes, this includes my own kids. Only 1 out of the 4 had any surprises at all in their gifts. Mind you, these 4 range in age from 9 to 24 years. The 24yo was surprised. The other 3 knew exactly what they were getting - recognized the boxes - made such statements about knowing all their gifts. Not hateful, not ungrateful but expectant. The 2 youngest are my nephews. Neith ...

I sure hope I can! Today has been a bad one. Getting dinged on reports for things I shouldn't. I have sent more than 5 emails to various QA people about things they are changing on my reports that shouldn't be changed. But that's not my major gripe. My boyfriend and I have been together for over a year now, and have recently moved in together. He is going through a nasty situation with his ex regarding custody of the children, etc. It has been going ...

This doesn't really require advice, but just a vent. I had written about two weeks ago regarding problems my daughter was having with her boyfriend of 7 months. Well, he just broke up with her two days ago after he invited her to his prom this Saturday and after she invited him to hers (they had talked and decided to still be a couple about a week or so ago). She is devastated. She won't eat, she's crying all the time. To make a long story short, he j ...

I'm sorry I just need to get this off my chest. I really only have one good friend, and she has her own troubles, so here goes... Last night, my husband's computer broke. He thought it was the video card, so we ordered a replacement for about $230. This morning, the computer is completely dead, won't even power up at all, so obviously more than the video card, which has already shipped, so I'll have to wait until it gets here, ship it back and get the refund minus the $ ...

I am posting this here because I know most of you have worked on-site in offices at some point in your lives and I wanted some feedback regarding something that happened in my office. I used to work as an MT and now I'm in a medical records office with about 10 or so coworkers. Most of the ladies are nice but there are a couple who like to stir up trouble and one who is a nosy-body and tattletale. I'm in my 60s, single and happy with my status, not really interested i ...

Hey all, I will try to keep this brief. My question first and then the reasons behind it. Has anybody out there in their life ever just picked up, cut ties and disappeared to some place else? Men and women have done it, but women less, I think. Now for the vent/reasons I ask, I like a lot of people now am having it very, very hard. I won't bore you will all of it, but financially, job-wise, vehicle-wise, love life-wise, I am just a mess. I would love to ...

To make a long story short ... I have to see a specialist today as I have been having some medical problems. This appointment has been scheduled for almost 3 weeks during which time I have asked my DH on several occasions if he would go with me, each time he states that he will. Today, however, when he remembers that I have the appointment he "innocently" asked me if I needed for him to go, going on to state that he has a lot around the house that he needs to do. This has hurt ...

Okay, so I have a neighbor who is unemployed. I know this cos he and his other half are always having screaming shouting matches and she yells he doesn't work and doesn't contribute, doesn't drive, eats her food, smokes, won't even watch "her kid", blah, blah, blah. So..what does he do? He goes and gets himself a motorcycle. So he has no license to drive it and it sits there in the yard (not their parking area, but their back yard that faces our back yard) a ...

Are there any frequent movers out there? I have become so disolutioned that I'm just upset. We moved into a neighborhood quite a few years ago and with the economy saw many changes. We've watched one neighbor grow up and thank goodness he got his license because now he doesn't sit around and have all his friends there (won't even go into the bahavior and language they used to display - I'm just thankful he's not there anymore). But now there ...

So, my DIL and son have been married 5 years. My son is in the service and they had the good fortune to have been stationed in DIL's hometown for the whole time they have been together. Her whole family is there and have been a great source of support when my son has been deployed. I had opportunities to visit and thanked them for being supportive of him when he was gone. 6 months ago they were stationed one state away from me, 3 hours away. DIL was super ...

First time a budget was passed on time BUT he wouldn't sign it until he got the "little" extras he was asking for in amendments. Sort of like blackmail. Threats were made about layoffs and unpaid state workers....well, in this budget, he cut Medicaid funding, library funding, firefighter funding and more. He is still talking about laying off some workers and he's "sorry about that but at least PA residents don't get a tax hike." First, the extras adding items arelike: ...

I am sitting here so depressed. I have two adult daughters and five grandkids. My oldest daughter is a widow (her husband was killed in Afghanistan in 2005) with two kids. She is a professional photographer. She took a picture of my other daughter and her kids which I fell in love with and when I asked her if I could have one, she said the price is $80 (black and white, 8 x 10). Needless to say with my lowly wages as a transcriptionist I could not afford it. She has become miss high and mighty e ...

Did anyone watch the opener on Sunday? What are your thoughts? Lots of tears shed, I'm sure. Watched the TD with all of the cast afterwards. It was great to see them all together, probably the last time (sigh)! They've sure become like family after all these years! ...

Is there an increase in child abuse lately? Have I just become more aware of it since I have 2 toddler grandkids, or is it just that the media is covering it more. I saw where a 7-year-old girl was locked in a cold attic for months for bedwetting by her grandmother. She was beaten and starved. She had chunks of bald spots on her head from having her hair ripped out. She had a broken foot. The grandmother said she was raising her grandchildren and was "doing th ...

a dryer outside and not sure what to do as I have been going to the laundramat. What a pain this is. There is just no way to vent outside. This is electric we have. ...

I recently talked to a young man who got married in December 2012. They keep mentioning they never got to be newlyweds. I am sorry but i dont understand - they got a 1 week honeymoon, came home to their own apartment, then 3 months ago decided to move back in with his parents to "save money, pay off bills, and get a fresh start" Ummm you only been married 9 months - and one of you came into the relationship with bad credit - these are young people 25 and 26. Now living wi ...

Regarding the numerous foreclosures and high unemployment....... If you think you\'re getting \"cabin fever\"....... Stop for a moment and give thanks........... That you have a \"cabin\" To have a \"fever\" in. Merry Christmas and a very happy, peaceful, prosperous, healthy New Ye ...

Just a vent, frustrated at one my younger daugher's troop leaders. They have a goal of 170 boxes per girl to sell. Generally if she gets 30 boxes on her own we are lucky I drive them to all the neighbors (14), and hit up grandparents (have agreement with siblings not to bug them with this sort of stuff), and we sell about 60 boxes that way. But.I have two daughers in two different troops. So I take them out soliciting here and they split the sales.&nb ...

I bow to no political party. I just wanted to get that out up front before people start bashing me for what I'm about to say here. I live in Indiana and I'm annoyed that Dan Coats is running for senate. This man is a lawyer, politician, and lobbyist. That right there makes me not trust him. Dan Coats worked as a lobbyist and the firm he worked for was hired to advocate for a cap-and-trade proposal. Now that Dan Coats is running for senate in Indiana ...

Thank heavens, no children in their 11 years, but his ex won't leave him alone. She's constantly calling him wanting money or furniture, or just to hassle him. She had taken everything out of the home they once lived in and he only wound up with a kitchen table and chairs. That's it. Now she wants that back. He's going to do it hoping she will get off his back. BTW, she used to hit him when they would fight. He came over one day with red marks all over his ch ...

I think the guys are much stronger this year. I think Scotty probably is already on his way no matter. I like Paul McDonald a lot, too. I could be his mama but he's a cutie and I love that voice. ...

I have to dish with someone and none of my friends watch it!!! ...

Dictated: due to holiday celebrations VR transcribed: due to Holiday cell abrasions ...

I have two grown 30+ year old sons who have jealousy and rivalry issues. One son invited me, their step-dad, his sister, and his grandmother to lunch for Mother's Day. I accepted and asked if his brother was invited and he said no. I thought maybe my other son would be at his in-laws, but he wasn't. He got hurt. I tried to make other plans with him in the afternoon, but he was hurt and rude. I finally told the oldest son that I would have to cancel l ...

Add pork stuffing, then throw away the whole dinner because you said you wouldn't have pork stuffing before you went ahead and served it all the while refusing to admit it was wrong to try to serve the pork stuffing after you said you wouldn't. Watch the video for a study in artful dodging. lol ...
