I want to vent too!!! It bugs the tar out of me when self proclaimed "know it alls" pose questions they actually have no interest in recieving honest answers on. yep, its actaully irritating. And, its even more irritating when they answer questions they don't actually have an answer to or understand, as if they founded the research center for that issue. And, I hate wet bread too. ~Rain~

I hate it when people say there is a 50/50 chance of heads or tails on a coin flip, Why is it, if there's a 50/50 chance, it's a 90% probability that I'll get it wrong?

Well, now,
Right now my wife is in the basement mopping up a flood. I absolutely hate wet basements (and it has been a curse with us).
This one has a different source. The water line for the fridge ice maker is leaking - at the copper pipe junction I hope. It's a relatively slow leak, but we haven't been down there in a few days. Apparently the puddle is pretty big. Soggy basement crap sucks. And of course when I get home from work I'm going to have to help out with cleanup and damage control, plus find and fix the leak.
Then there's trying to schedule a vacation. We have been going to the same place for years and there is another family that we've become close with, so we always try to overlap by a week. Well, the cabin we'd prefer to rent is available for two weeks (we take two weeks - the other family only one). As is the preferred cabin for the other family. BUT - it's a week before the usual week for our friends and they have tougher schedules than we do. The week we usually overlap, we can't get our preferred cabin. GRRRRR

I get to vent anonymously about my infant son. Because it's totally unacceptable to vent to people in my so-called "real life." So here goes:
I love him completely, of course (which is what inevitably precedes the word "but") BUT - when I am exhausted and it's 3:30am and nothing I do will quiet him and he is screaming his head off, just exactly as if I'd been sticking pins in him or something...sometimes I get pissed off at him. Steam comes out of my ears. Sparks shoot out of my eyes. My mouth gets set in a grim line. A low growl comes into my throat. And then...well, I just take a few deep breaths and then it passes.
But man, do I get pissed.

I am such a techological dinosaur that I can't say this for sure, but I THINK I have been reading your wife's recent postings and may I gently suggest that the "some reason" might be elucidated therein? If not, then asking her directly might help. All the best to both of you.
I am ticked that after spending a great deal of resources on an auxillary heating system, my mother-in-law is proposing that she cannot come to our house, whether for dinner or for a rare baby-sitting opportunity, because she fears it will be too cold. I have offered and given her legwarmers that are used by dancers, long underwear (underarmor?) used by pro football players, among other cold weather beaters, and she declines to wear many things because they spoil the line of her pants (!). She does not like having space heaters for some reason, even though they warm the area where she is sitting very effectively. I am so frustrated by this, because I have tried so hard to be a good daughter in law, and I go so far out of my way to make sure that they have time with my kids, and I break my neck trying to put on beautiful little dinners for them when I can (think Hyacinth Bucket in Keeping up Appearances) in spite of the fact that we have a teeny-tiny rowhouse. I pack the table with silver and lace and linen, and candles and gorgeous food (I have put on an all-chocolate dinner for her for several birthdays now), and all that seems to matter is whether the air is the same temperature as her blood. Can't win! I would sadly but willingly give up going to the orchestra a few times a year, but I would like to have them over even when they are not babysitting for our little guys, for many reasons, not the least of which is that it is good training for the kids in being hosts themselves. She has never once acknowledged that the problem is her circulation and not some fiedish plot on my part to increase her discomfort. Or, and this really supports my flagging self-esteem, she will attribute my unwillingness to create a 3 story sauna bath out of our house to my being fat. That really caps it!
thanks for listening - god bless all of you!

I hate paranoia, all that I have caused, and all that I myself deal with.
I also hate being schizophrenic, and so do I.

I have become annoyed by people who don't use the capital "I" when typing. I tend to assume that it is a self-esteem issue (but then we all know what happens when you assume - right??) I am especially annoyed when these posters also "want to have their cake and eat it too" or "could care less" - - why do they feel they are entitled to sooo much when they don't even refer to themselves with a capital letter? I am running low on tryptophan - - I can feel my turkey high wearing off!! Bee

And a fine job you did! (ducking for cover now)
Flood vent continued - of COURSE the leak is not near the end of the hose - where I could have just cut it off and reconnected. It was right in the middle. So I have to go to a hardware store and buy a new hose and connectors for BOTH ends. Move the refrigerator. And replace the hose. It's scary taking a wrench to fittings that haven't been disturbed for 20 years - even for a plumbing job this simple. Will the fitting actually come apart? Will something break? I don't want to actually pay a plumber because I can't get the fittings apart. Fortunately that went OK.
Did you know that all the dust bunnies in the world started out as little baby dust bunnies? Under OUR refrigerator??? It must be true, considering the quantity we swept up.
