And a bitchy New Year - January 2012 minirants

Hmmm. I like the way you think! The gutters do need cleaning, and there’s a lot of pine straw and cones in the yard, and the carpets needs to be shampooed… Maybe I’ll get lucky and she won’t meet her deadline! (And she already has school uniforms from last year. Khakis and a white turtleneck every day - won’t she be thrilled!)

It’s almost 5 am. I have a c-section scheduled at noon and I cannot sleep. Heartburn + restless leg + all the usual aches and pains + I’m sure a little nerves = no sleep for me.

I so wanted to be well rested for one of my kids’ births.

Francis sending you fellow mommy get-out-of-there-baby thoughts!

Wow! Congratulations and good luck!

Lovely little morning. Eldest daughter just missed the bus so I had to grab baby, run out and drive her. Baby woke up at 1 am, 2 am and 3 am. Asshole neighbors have hired a tree service and leaf blower people that showed up at 7 am in violation of noise ordinances. And I think this fucking website has given me malware so I have no idea why the hell I’ve logged on here.

Still waiting for the baby announcement. Bets that 1GothMama will waste her time with rl stuff…like surgery and new baby and family instead of updating us. insert snarky remark about people having a rl.

Then adds wishes that all is going well.

So, my rant. Bill bought me a new car last year. This has been a point of contention between us, so I didn’t register it or put insurance on it. Today, I went to register it and it took 3 hours (yes I did time it) to get the title transfered over and temp tags issued. After I called my insurance people, they wanted to see the car because they didn’t believe that there was only 170 miles on it.

I’m really irritated at Tony because now that he knows that I’m driving my spare car, he isn’t doing what he should to deal with the accident and legal problems. I didn’t really expect anything else, but I’m still irritated, so its pit worthy.

These two cavities didn’t bother me a bit. They weren’t hurting. If the dental hygienist hadn’t told me, I would still not know they were there. (yeah, I know that wouldn’t have lasted forever)

But now? Now I know they’re there. Now that they’ve been filled I know they’re there. I definitely know they’re there. It’s been almost a week and they still hurt at least part of every day. And it doesn’t help that there’s one on each side. I think I might have been better off to let them go until they got bad enough for a root canal and just get it over with.

I hate pains in my head!

Tears in eyes now. Everyone told me to not love an older man because he would die first. Everyone was right. I’m flying out in 5 hours., I live in the fucking sticks and I can’t get there sooner.

FML. I thought we had something good happening and now he’s going to die one me. Its now fair.

Oh no flatlined, what’s happened to Bill? {{{flatlined}}}

Oh, flatlined, no! <multiple hugs>

flatlined, oh no, I hope whatever it is, is minor, and has just been blown out of proportion. Don’t you dare die on her Bill :frowning:

Oh God flatlined! Please let it be all right!!!

Oh, **flatlined, **I hope this is just a false alarm.

{{{{{flatlined}}}}}

Hugs and good wishes, flatlined and Bill.

I live in a suburb of Melbourne, FL. Pronounced MEL-burn. Not MEL-BORN, even though that is a semi-acceptable alternative pronunciation. But for Og’s sake, it’s not pronounced MEL-BURN with an emphasis on both syllables. That deliberate pronunciation of the schwa grates like newcomers to Louisville who pronounce it LOO-ville without any hint of a schwa in the middle, from what I hear it’s better to just say Loo-ee-ville until you get the hang of it.

Holy shit, flatlined. :eek:

Pfft. There went my petty little rant. Seems so … petty now.

I can relate; Calgary is pronounced CAL-gry, not Cal-GARR-ee. You can always tell who’s new in town from the way they pronounce it. :slight_smile:

ETA: Dammit, I meant to express my sympathy and hopes that it isn’t that bad to flatlined, too.

Something good DID happen, no matter what. Love is always worth it even if it hurts a lot. I hope things turn out better than it seems now, but please don’t have any regrets about loving someone. Just know we’re all thinking of you and hoping for the best.

We’re with you, flatlined, even out here where you can’t see us. Hoping for the best.

Oh, no, flatlined! Add my sympathy and hope that things will work out for Bill to everyone else’s.
