Gripe.... I have to pee...... and I have 1.5 hrs left of FM. I am not a fan of portapotties

Me neither. I have a 5 hour volunteer event I do every year 30 minutes away and I hold it the whole time. By the time I get home, there is no unloading until I take care of that lol

We had a water leak a few months ago thanks to the geniuses who flipped our house before we bought it. Finally getting some money rolling in for our repairs and my mortgage company (who has to be on the check cause it’s over $10k) won’t endorse the check, they want to monitor the work cause it involves asbestos (the flippers tiled over old linoleum when they installed our new floor), so in order to get the money Wells Fargo requires we endorse the check and mail it to some janky P.O. Box to process. I’m uncomfortable with this. I’d rather work with a human in a local branch instead of sending a live check across country blindly. It’s taken me two visits and three escalated phone calls to try to compromise with them to just let me endorse the check at the bank and then they can monitor all they want - they flat out refuse. I’m so frustrated

I don't suppose there is a legal way to go after the people you bought it from for damages because the work was not done right which they might have known would cause you financial hardships? Also did they disclose anything on asbestos to you if it's in the house? I'm sorry this is happening to you Wells Fargo sucks old gentleman I knew banked with them, and a so called well to do neighbor decided to help him followed by helping himself to the old man's check book and forging checks took my mother months to get the bank to stop and the cops to step in!

I’m thinking we may have some legal recourse there, this is not the first issue we’ve had unfortunately but it’s the biggest so far. It’s probably something we will look into down the line but for now I just want to get my house fixed and I wish my mortgage company would be helpful instead of making things 10x worse.

I would defo look into legal recourse as the sellers must have know there were issues and did not disclose them which I think they have to by us law. I would also look into filing a complaint against the bank as it sounds like they just want to be jerks then again I hear Wells Fargo is full of idiots and jerks. Hope they get it sorted quickly for you as that's not a nice way to live with a bunch of stress and worry.

Power and phone went down at 4 am this morning. We had no way to report the electrical outage and it was quite creepy that both went down for the whole town. I have never had that happen. It was fixed at 830 this morning but needless to say, Ive been up since 4am. I believe its nap time

Husband doesn't understand the need to give children bedtimes. He also doesn't understand the need to do things as a united front in a family meeting. I'm beginning to wonder if he understands "blended family" at all, or if he's really ok with Yours, Mine, and Ours.

Anxiety induced insomnia is kicking my butt this week.

It is horrible to be without phone service and power at the same time. But to be without phone service at any time can be a little more than scary.

Is your phone dependent on power? This very issue is why I insist on having a landline. Power outages have never yet in my experience interfered with my landlines. But when a cable or other provider tries to talk me into bundling phone service, they just don't understand that! When we lived in our last house in California, our cable service went out several times a year and I was always having to call them to report it. They invariably tried to sell me bundle service at the very same time I am calling to report and outage! How does that even make sense? They still do it; it must be a requirement that all employees try to sell bundled service with every phone call they receive. ''

Thank you, I did file a complaint with the BBB, I’m just amazed at the level of incompetence.

That is so frustrating. It’s especially important to have bed times when your managing anxiety and insomnia too. I hope you guys get on the same page for your sake.

Blended families are difficult......Especially if you're not on the same page. My husband would let his girls bad mouth me till no end....almost caused divorce more than once. It gets better when they are adults but it's an emotional rollercoaster until then. I get along well with one of my step-daughters, the other is still somewhat strained but that's a whole other story. She just married a guy almost 20 years older than her. She's 32. My daughter get along well enough with my husband. She sees more of him than his own kids.

Thanks. Last night went better then expected. Maybe I was a "bad parent" but I syccd my daughter on my husband while I was at my church meeting. I had her explain the importance of family meetings, lol. I guess coming from a 10 year old he suddenly understood how important it is. So, bedtimes were issued, chore chart was made, device shut off time was mandated, and everyone figured out where they were supposed to be and how they were getting there and home again. Grievances were aired and shot down - mostly his kids because suddenly they have a bedtime which equals me picking on them. Huge kudos to my husband for stepping up and saying that it was bad parenting on his part and this year things were going to be different.

It was the landline that was down and we live in a cell phone dead zone. We had to drive to another town to call anyone.

According to the power company, a tree fell and took out both in the area. We saw a fenced up area that had electrical boxes Up the road a little I'm not sure if that's called a poer grid or what and that's where all the trucks were working. Phone came back up first.
My husband thought it was funny when he said "Darn Russians" while we were sitting in the dark. I didnt.

We are looking into a generator

Feel free to bop me one for sticking my nose in; but I'd like to say that I believe letting your husband know (more than once) how much you appreciate his cooperation. I'm betting you already thought of this. But as a child care provider, I firmly believe in the goals you were trying to set forward. I also know very well that creating a new habit and routine is a lot. of. work. It might takes weeks before you see any results of the new normal - but it will come - and it will also require less work to maintain it.

And should you need a new approach on convincing him why a blended family needs to work together as a cohesive, equal unit....remind him that even classrooms and business spend a great deal of effort and time building teams!

Gripe. There is vendor selling knitting and then she stands behind her open tent to smoke. Umm not everyone wants to smell that not wants to buy a smoke smell knit.
Not to mention I don't want to smell it

 

[earlene]

Some smokers just don't get it. It's a shame, too, because I would think that it's such a no-brainer.

My gripe, allergies & jerk hubbies [emoji35]. Like my dad, I have to take a daily allergy pill year round. Generic Zyrtec from Big Lots works for me but I must've ran out because I haven't taken it since Wednesday and I can't find the bottle. Not taking it caught up with me and I've been a sneezing fool since last night. I had Benadryl so I took one. I don't like it because it makes me feel groggy even after I "sleep it off". I guess my Ken thought I was sleeping too much or maybe he was lonely because he started doing loud things like "accidentally" slamming drawers, hysterically laughing at YouTube videos and playing his PlayStation boxing game in the bedroom! He was overjoyed when he saw I was up and feeling a little better, even offered to take me to lunch but I'm still groggy with a headache and irritated that he won't let me sleep.
