So THAT explains it!!!!! It's not my indoor zoo here...it's YOU and YOUR refrigerator. Well, I hope to see a marked decline in the "tumbleweeds" that blow through our house now that you've finally swept out under your fridge, friend. Please see that you clean more regularly...by the time this stuff gets to our house, it's collected a lot along the way. That "cat" I thought I was petting last night? It was one of your "baby" dust bunnies that had gruesome grew some.

*sigh* guilty as charged. actually, since i started using the internet (which has been for like 20 years now) when typing online i tend to not use capital letters for ANYTHING other than emphasis. most of my communications are informal (therefore spelling and grammer dont' get blasted much) and although this IS a formal message board, i tend to consider you all buddies.
sorry it annoys you, but i don't think i'll change. occasionally i'll use caps, but mostly, nope. i'm not even sure what determines whether i'll start sentances w/ caps... seems to be kind of random.
and self esteem??? well, since you mention it, i'm sure you're right and i can probably blame charlie for years of the pain his pornng put me thru which has torn my self esteem to absolute BITS to the point that i can't even capitalise my i's anymore!!!!!
i'm so ashamed....

Good golly...it's a husband & wife laugh team this morning! ;D Thanks to you both for the chuckles! Disillusioned...I can't speak for beehappy (duh!) but, having followed along in her journal lately, I strongly suspect she was not talking about YOU. Not even a little bit.

To continue the word vent... "irregardless"...AAAAAGHHHHH!! "blase blase" (from urbandictionary.com - Used as a more stylish or educated way of saying Blah-Blah-Blah, but fails to sound stylish and educated with people who have actually been to school.) There are more, but I'll let someone else have fun too!

VENT.....
I hate Head colds... I hate this all stuffed up, head floating like a ballon ( a lead one! HAHA), eyes watering like a texas sprinkler in june, and everything else that comes along with it!
BUT....
Whats even worse is a head cold, AND bronchitis... and maybe a touch of tonselitis too.
Yep.. you got it.... Got a triple sick VENT going on here!!
I spent all night last night in shivers, violent ones, then hot flashes from fevers, then shivers, then chest so darn tight I couldn't breath, then... on and on....
And throw in a huge fight about PA and communication with my H right smack in the middle....
Oh, and the child that threw up right in the middle of target last night (yes my child)....
Why can't these things happen on normal days.... and NOT on my days off!?!?!?!?! I would like to enjoy the time I DON"T have to be at work. I can be sick and call in anytime! LOL But you can't call in on your days off, and you don't get extra days off if you were sick on your original ones, now do ya??? NOPE!!!! ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Thats all the yell I've got, cause now I can't breath again.
I so need to go back to bed. Think I could get all 3 of my toddlers to lay quietly on mom's bed and not get into all the cool breakables that decorate my night stand?

Do you have a Barney tape? Or Teletubbies?
PBS has been a lifesaver for me!

Hey, this is the vent thread. It's not really supposed to be helpful and on topic, is it?
I use Word for almost all my editing, including email (don't puke - I'm used to it). It does a thing called autocorrect, which I use to correct my most favorite typos on the fly. I also added words to it to automatically capitalize "I" and to capitalize certain obvious names - my wife and kids to be specific. Since it does a good deal of auto capitalization anyway, I didn't want their names to not be capitalized. I set that up years ago.
I left my own name off the list. I have recently been thinking about what that says about my self esteem.
I have just gone and added my name to the list.

I HATE autocorrect. In my working life I type alot. Some of the technical stuff I type has to have a peculiar syntax which autocorrect "corrects" for me. So I often have to type things twice. Don't think for me anymore Bill Gates!!! Let me think for myself.
AAAARRRGGGGHHHH!!!

One of the things I hate the most about being pregnant is that everytime I sneeze, I feel like something inside my lower abdomen explodes. My husband has discovered a pattern. If I sneeze, he's guaranteed to hear "OWWW...d*mnit..." right afterwards.
And morning sickness still won't go away! It's been nineteen weeks! I do NOT want to be one of the women who have it all pregnancy. No fun...

I vent - about drivers who use the "just barely fast enough" cruise control setting to pass on the highway. I vent at the truck doing 101km/h passing the truck doing 99 km/h and holding us back for 20 excruciating kilometers.

Sick VENT again....
Know whats even harder than breathing when you have a head cold/tonselistis/bronchitis/headache/fevor induced body aches..........
Sleeping.
I just wanna sleep!!!!!!!
(this is me throwing a pitty party, pouting and whining, kicking my sore legs all about in desperation, just like my kids did when I told them it was nap time!)

Oh and I have to add....
I don't like drivers that fly up on your butt when you are doing the speed limit (or just a little bit above), and try to "force" you into going faster because you are apparently in thier way, on the road that god made for them, and should be squashed like the bug you are.... Yep... I hate that. I'd like to just be able to drive with out being intimidated by other drivers.
And even worse when its a cop.

Thats why we have- a) The Brake Pedal - for lightly pressing, causing brake lights to go on and forcing speed reductions of unknown quantities to the person behind, and.. b) The Emergency Brake - for when the clown does not get the point of a) and tuggin on causes a drastic reduction of speed with NO brake light warning, causing wonderment and additional car-to-car space to be generated. or I just (And I'm a 10-over driver) slow down to about 14 under (Legally, still within the limit) in no-passing zones for these guys, forcing them to pass at the soonest opportunity (which is what they should have done anyway) and leave me alone.

Patience is the virtue you admire in the driver behind you and abhor in the driver in front of you.
ROAD RAGE!
