My complaint is that in my jurisdiction, the Prothonatary Office accepts all legal filings without review, and this allows lawsuit terrorists to harass and extort people indefinitely; a Groundhog Day legal nightmare. If I, for example, wanted to use the previous poster's obvious (even if well-founded) discrimination against Martians as grounds for asserting that he or she owed me monetary compensation, the court system would happily accept my filing fee, and pocket it, and all the fees of the poor person I was suing. North Carolina supposedly has a system whereby one judge is assigned to screen filings. Thus, in that jurisdiction, I would not be able to march in and assert that I should be appointed executor of my uncle's wlll 10 years after the estate was executed and settled by my duly appointed cousin. In my jursidiction, exactly this sort of nonsense goes on constantly, and it makes a handsome income for the Prothonatary. End of rant.

Sorry, I am back with a more serious vent today. My dear W was completely clueless last night, and here's the set up: I had to get up today at 4:30am to get her brother to the airport by 6:00am. After that, I had to roll her car over to the dealer for its 50K service, and then head off to work. I had already stayed up to 11:00 last night to help her - I first did some grocery shopping for her and then I helped her with folding clothes. Oh yeah, and I brought home flowers from the market for her just because. Now here is the cluelessness: first she gets into bed with our 3 month old to feed him shortly after I finally get in bed. Well, this one was of those feedings where he was cooing loudly for quite a while as he ate. I could not fall asleep with him doing that, and she would not go somewhere else to feed him. Secondly, I have finally barely fallen asleep once the feeding quieted and she gets up to do some things, leaving our boy in the bed. She leaves, he wakes up and starts fussing, again, waking my tired and increasing pissed off rear end - the time is now 12:15. Fellas, I know our ladies do a great deal for us, and my W is a wonderful mother and capable wife - you religious sorts think Proverbs 31 - and I thank her often and tell her she is the above. But today I am angry and frustrated that I could not get just a little consideration last night. I am way trashed today - I can barely think because I am so tired, and this is with like four cups of coffee in me. So, I give you one big AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !

Yesterday I started to write into my journal. My words were constructed as though from Hemingway. My thoughts as clear and perceptive as Jung. I was sure that if only I could refer back to this one entry over and over again, I would be cured. Not recovered, CURED!!
Then my logon session timed out and I lost it all. ARRRRRRRGHHHH!!

My mother is a pediatrician. One of her patients was named '(expletive)head'. Another was named 'Female' (pronounced femolly). Strangeness. Pronounced S-h-i-t-h-ade? My grandmother told of a teacher-friend/coworker who had a student named "(expletive)h-ade" (spelled "S-h-i-t-h-e-a-d") And another named "Ash-ole-le" (spelled "A-s-s-h-o-l-e'). I think those were urban-legends at one time. With the way things are, anymore, they're probably real names now, somewhere. lol My brother went to college with a guy named Harry Bush! No joke! ;D

I worked for a guy who was a big-time company VP whose name was Richard Seaman. He was a really nice guy most of the time, but he could be a real b@11buster if need be.

My favorite unfortunate name was a beautiful young lady who visited our office for a conference whose name was Latrina.
My mom knew an Ima Hogg in Texas. She said that she was a lovely person.
On the other hand, when a parent chooses a classic name, no matter how much they want to believe that it will be distinctive, chances are that by the time the kid enters school, that resounding name that one has lovingly resurrected from literature or the old testament to bestow on one's offspring will be as common as mud. Just try naming your kid Hepzibah or Ashbel, and by gum, that year will be THE year for those specific names.

Although I comletely agree that common consideration goes a long way to make a happy home, maybe things would be easier if you understood that helping *her* with shopping and folding clothes, is only helping *her* if the groceries and clothes were hers alone. If it was family groceries and family laundry, then you were helping the family. Otherwise, I see your frustration and feel for you.

Especially considering the shortened form of Richard. lol What's wrong with these parents? Did they put no thought into the names? ;D

I'm frustrated that no one knows where my name comes from.
