Post your Gripe

[Zany_in_CO]

The grumpiness stems from my stepdad hitting me 3 times yesterday and nearly broke my wrist. It is still hurting today. If their neighbor had not been outside and my calling him I know I would have had a broken wrist.

Carolyn, when that happens, you need to call the police or 911. I'm sure if he was in his right mind he would never have done that to you, but it's quite possible, predictable even it will happen again. The police can put the fear of God in him and give you some good advice to protect yourself. Hopefully, social services will step in as well. This is not something you should try to handle on your own. Big ole wrap around gentle hug.

I don't know how to edit my post, so please forgive me.

Don't worry about it I was just being crabby

Snowbell - Just an FYI - Please don't take it personally. We're all here for Carolyn when she needs to vent. It's like that scene in Steel Magnolias when the ladies are at the cemetery and Sally Fields just wants to hit something because she's so angry about the death of her daughter. One of the women says, "You wanna hit something?" Then she grabs Shirley MacLaine, shoves her forward, and says, "Here. Hit Wheezer!"

So, we're kinda like Carolyn's gang of Wheezers, LOL and I, for one, am happy to be here for her.

It's raining for the 2nd say in a row .

 

[Relle]

I wouldn't mind some rain here, I wouldn't gripe about that, we have had bush fires for the last 4 days that someone deliberately lit.

Day 2 of school closed to snow. The school in town doesn’t close for nothing and we’re on day 2. It’s not so much an issue for me, I work third shift. My coworkers are going to have to deal with stir crazy clientswho haven’t been able to leave the house in 3 days because of this bs.

To make it more fun, I live 20mi away and don’t have 4 wheel drive. The roads in my subdivision are low on the “need to plow” list and there is a wind tunnel around my house. My managers who have winter vehicles probably won’t make the 10mi plowed drive to take care of things that need to be a priority... because, you know, it’s cold or some junk. It’s not like you should be prepared for that living next to Lake Superior.

I take back my gripe, for Relle.... Fire is not a thing I would want to live with.

Sciatica hurts today but it is my fault for staying up to Midnight reading here on this forum

My gripe is that I'm cranky today [emoji20]. I woke up in a good mood. DH didn't & that set the tone for the rest of my day. We had a minor argument before I left for work. At work I discovered that QC still hasn't processed any paperwork since Wednesday. I'm basically a parts router. If QC doesn't approve the parts, I can't move them. So my workload has been VERY limited. If they don't do anything again today, I have maybe an hour's worth of work to last me all day. I hate sitting here, not doing anything but I can't afford to go home early. Even if I could, I don't want to because DH is a booty head today!

Estate trust K-1 form just got here and I was trying to Amend my taxes... because they didn't tell me I needed this.
Now it looks like I lose my $3500 tax refund and have to PAY.
I am so pissed right now because they said I didn't have to pay any taxes on my Dad's Estate, that it was all taken care of.

Minor gripe (not really even a gripe, now I think about it, more an oddity) ...

I was out at the movies and saw a a young adult/older teenager walking out of the female toilets.

Nothing unusual to look at, except for the fact it was a young man.
He didn't seem in the least embarrassed, so it wasn't a mistake.
I wonder why he was there? Is there some sort of protest or dare happening out there?

​

There is a lot of socialist pressure on young people in school these days to be multi-gendered, maybe he is confused or something (?).
Either that or the gents toilet was unavailable.
Its also possible that he was in there with a young woman

My gripe: Trying to reply to a thread that has just been locked after spending an hour working on a decent reply.

 

[SaltedFig]

He didn't look at all confused (just very ordinary, as if it was the most normal thing in the world - no attitude, confusion, embarrassment, nothing), wasn't with anyone, and the gents was free. Multi-gendered - maybe that's it. A sort of social protest (given that there are only men and womens toilets, and no gender neutral toilets). Actually, that makes sense.

 

[Sandra@SS]

maybe the 'he', wasn't.
there are times (desparate times) I have taken the 'sexed' bathroom signs as a guide.
the only gripe I can think of for today is that the North Americans seem to have stolen Winter, and won't give it back. Its our turn now lads!

YOU can have it !!! I would like Spring please

Thankyou, I will try to be nicer but I never promise

But we know you've had a lot of winter too Lin; so now it's rain - which makes a mess.
I'm in So Cal, and I complain because we have too much sun! I should have been a vampire because I love cool, cloudy and rainy days.

 

[cmzaha]

Me to Lenarenee, I love stormy weather. Even enjoyed the wind yesterday

 

[Sandra@SS]

deal!

 

[Techie Joe]

You should try Ireland or Scotland, most days are overcast and cool when its not high summer, the colours are mostly blues. You'd get tired of the clouds and rain too.
I got a good zoom camera last week but the air has been too full of moisture to get distant views for it.

My gripe - we had 80+ mph winds here yesterday. Multiple magnitudes of damage across the Front Range, many wild fires springing up and with the wind, becoming very big very fast and uncontrollable.

We got off lucky with only 2 broken windows and a broken fence, however, many others were not. A few blocks over a camper flew into the front of a house, many trees down in our neighborhood, and UGH I'm just over our weather here. OVER. IT.

 

[shunt2011]

We are on day 4 of my daughter and grandkids not having power. We had horrible ice storm and then just rain with high winds and cold on Saturday and Sunday. 300,000 with power outages. So they are staying with us and my house is small and it's been crazy. Still cold. I'm leaving Friday for a conference in Texas and haven't had time to get anything ready.

I really want to paint my dining room - it's the most depressing two shades of olive green from the previous home owner. My husband has vetoed all color choices. Last night when I was showing him colors, he said "How about two shades of olive green?" I knew we would struggle a bit before I married him - I love really bright colors and he likes more subdued colors... but the whole house is neutral colors and I can't do it. I need some personality added to the house! I feel like I'm living in someone else's house. I hate it.
