Fuck whoever it was who thought I should go to grad school! I hate that person!
Ovaries, why must you go off screaming at the top of your lungs at 5 am, waking me out of a sound, Ambien-assisted sleep??? Fuck off, and take your friends Achy Back, Grumpy Mood and Overinflated Boobies with you!!!
Please stop sending me the right-wing conspiracy theory hokum CRAP.
It’s not so much that I mind someone expressing an opinion. But fer chrissakes, you are forwarding me racist lies and bogus information.
And it’s not so much that bogus information, it’s easily debunked bogus information.
How many times have I asked you not to include me with this? How many times have I told you that Snopes is our friend?? It took me all of 10 seconds to go to Snopes and find that your latest gem is not only crap, but recycled crap. It was an updated version of this :The Fall of the Athenian Republic | Snopes.com .
I usually just delete because you include a lot of people on your distribution list that I don’t know, but no more. I will inform the rest of your cabal and show them how easy it is to investigate…and ironically, how rare it is to get actual information in an e-mail forard.
genius!!
Dear Major League Baseball-
Why the fuck was the New Yankee Stadium designed so that the fucking Yankee fans in the first row in right field could so easily interfere with the other team’s outfielders? That was a problem in Yankee Stadium I and II and now III. WTF? All they had to do was to incorporate the system used at Jacobs Field in Cleveland, where then fence has a 4 foot space between the seats and the outfield fence. Fans in those seats get a fine view - I speak from experience - but cannot easily interfere with the game itself. For $X Billion or whatever they spent on New Yankee Stadium, that’s the least they could do.
Dear middle school students:
Please don’t start a tirade in my class about how Obama is the worst president ever (how many presidents can this kid even name? much less know anything about) and how “they thought they would make history by voting for him, but that history will be the end of the USA.” I really try to avoid discussing politics with people who can’t even vote, especially when they have clearly been learning from their crazy-ass parents. Plus, I don’t want to say anything that might make the crazy-ass parents call and try to bust me for “indoctrinating” their child. Luckily, I pulled out the old “we don’t talk about politics or religion in my class” line and made you stop, but it was iffy if that tactic was going to work. Really, this kind of thing is a great way to start a fight with your classmates, its overly aggressive for the classroom, and really puts me in a bad mood. So stop it.
Your Sub
Female Beuty Products or at least one in particular.
My wife is laid up so she asekd me to go to the cosmetic store and get her some eye liner from Urban Decay (because it is vegan and cruelty-free). A 0.25 fluid ounce costs, get this, $18.
Eighteen freaking dollars!! That is $9,216 a gallon!! Since she is ill I am not making an issue of it, but holy cow!!
What a freaking racket!
Pretend I never mentioned spending $455 on make-up last Fall…
That’s why it’s so expensive. You have to pay more to be Environmentally Conscious with your cosmetics. :rolleyes:
Thanks for the rolleyes.
At least she didn’t want the Georgio Armani which is $31 for 0.06 oz. which according to my math is over $66,000/gallon.
It was directed towards the cosmetic manufacturers. It can’t be that much more expensive to use natural ingredients.
I need a mini-rant like crazy today.
I hate my mom’s health. I love my mom to death but I HATE HATE that she is sick again, and I hate worrying about her.
With her MS it’s usually off-and-on illness, but after her retina mysteriously detached a few years ago I thought maybe she deserved a break from this shit.
Turns out what she thought was a persistent bladder infection was actually a giant fucking blood clot in her leg that they only found after she insisted antibiotics weren’t helping her pain and she needed to be seen.
I hate that my Dad sounded so exhausted and frustrated when he told me she was admitted. I hate that Mom is in the hospital for the next three days on blood-thinners. I hate that I don’t know if that clot is going to try to kill her or give her a stroke.
Most of all I hate calling her and hearing her so scared. I wish MS would fuck off and die.
To my wonderful, sweet, deaf old pup,
Why won’t you EAT your expensive, grain-free kibble, of which we *just *bought two bags. You’re obviously hungry. I mix in chicken broth, I mix in ground elk. Do you know what many dogs would do for a mere teaspoon of ground elk? You won’t even eat the wet food, except the kind we don’t have anymore. This evening, you turned up your nose at cream cheese wrapped in turkey pepperoni! (for pills) This is after loving - for short periods of time - (again for pills): beef-flavored pill pockets, chicken-flavored pill pockets, chunks of elk roast, mozzarella cheese, yogurt, plain cream cheese. Now it must be cream cheese completely wrapped in sliced ham. I’m feeding my dog CANAPES! Maybe I’ll add some garnish next time.
[She’s been to the vet. There’s nothing really wrong and she’s not losing weight yet. We’re winding up some antibiotics for allergy-caused inflammation, and that’s the most likely suspect. But seriously, the pickiness is out of hand.]
I guess you’re getting one of tonight’s left-over hamburgers. We are becoming so well-trained, aren’t we girl?
Why don’t you grind up some of the kibble in with the ground elk, fry it up and let her have her own burger?
Suggestion approved. We’ll try anything at this point.
I don’t begrudge the 14 year-old her somewhat extravagant meal combos, it’s the moving target thing that makes me rant.
Dear Facebook friends, could you please not publish the results of every idiotic quiz you take? Why the fuck should I care that if you were a Star Trek character, you’d be James T. Kirk, or if you were a color, you’d be blue? Nothing like opening Facebook and finding the whole first page covered in your moronic quiz results. I hide 'em all so I can see the few people who actually SAID something.
Also, most of those quizzes look like they were written by semi-literate high school students anyway. Those results? Say nothing about you. Really. Choose not to publish them next time, pretty please?
Is there supposed to be another reason to have a Facebook page in the first place?
Alpine, I read somewhere that cats have only about 900 taste buds relative to humans’ 9000 (numbers are probably off but I think I have the ratio about right) and dogs have about 1500. And that is supposed to explain why they are such picky eaters, altho I am not sure how that exactly connects. However, I do recite to myself “you have hardly any taste buds poor thing” as I throw away a can of the food that my cat loved last week, right up until I bought a case of it…Anyhow hope your pup is hanging in there and you are too.
My mom has MS, and I approve (and heartily support) this rant.
One frickin’ internet/telephone company in this cat box, so when the internet is down too bad for you customer 'All our Service Representatives are currently busy, call back" WTF:mad:
