Fucking migraines. I can’t even work up a proper rant, I’m too damn tired. My usual one day long monthly migraine has turned into a five day long knife in my head.
shoot me now, please…
Nice post/username combination.
I am done worrying about everyone else’s feelings for a while. Done. I am not the fixer, I am not the permanent shoulder to cry on; I have feelings too, dammit, and sometimes I want to be a bitch.
And if my son asks me the same question that he’s asked me 20 times already today, with my answer being “I honestly don’t know”, my head is going to explode.
How old is he?
Because at a certain age, they’re curious enough to want to know something, persistent and obsessive enough not to let it go, and Mommy and Daddy are The Source Of All Knowledge.
Go to the doctor ASAP, hon. My husband finally found some meds that work on his. Migraines are awful but they have treatments that should be able to help. I get them once or twice a year. Monthly migraines sound like hell. Are they PMS related? Because I sometimes get a minor headache the day before I get my period.
I’ve been noticing a driving habit around here that seems to be becoming more frequent - people come screaming up to a cross road stop sign at full speed, and slam on their brakes at the last second before going into cross traffic, and THEN start to look around to see if it’s clear to go. This is making me very angry for a number of reasons:
-
I’m a frequent pedestrian - not looking at anything around you as you barrel over the crosswalk or the sidewalk in front of a back alley isn’t going to go well for any pedestrians around you.
-
The stop line is where you’re supposed to stop, not with the nose of your car inches away from traffic.
and
- Every time these fools do this, I have to react as though they aren’t looking and haven’t seen me and prepare to avoid a collision.
Can we just stop doing this? Can we coast up to a stop at a reasonable rate of speed, at a reasonable distance, and not give pedestrians and other drivers heart attacks every day?
Dear guys next door -
I understand why you sit on our garden wall and drink. It’s not in the sight line of any of the windows of your house, and frankly if I had to live there, I’d drink too!
However, leaving beer bottles, candy wrappers and the occasional high ball glass in said garden is not cool.
Take your garbage with you, 'K?
Gosh, Curley, it would be a real shame if your sprinkler system accidently got set to water the fence during drinking time. Don’t you have a dog that jumps around and throws toys around? Said dog might just start tossing the trash over the fence. Not your fault at all!
I used to have a neighbor who would toss trash over my fence. Dang that pissed me off.
I’m glad you are here, BTW. Just in case you didn’t read about our new dog, we have a new dog. She is very well trained but we are going to take dog training classes so all of us are on the same page. Do you think this will confuse her?
Once again I’ve learned that cheap critters are almost as pricey as expensive ones. Buttercup has a pretty yellow collar and leash. And 3 balls. And a pull toy. And shoes. And 2 beds. Not to mention the big bag of Wellness and the gooshy food and chew toys and treats.
Free critters are not free and cheap critters need stuff.
There is no such thing as a “free” pet. 
Especially when they’re spoiled, but what did we get them for anyway? When they come to you skinny and unloved, what do you do? You love them and squeeze them and hug them and feed them. That’s what you do!
You are so right Cheez Whia. We have pets so we can spoil them.
So far, Buttercup has been cheaper than Lucky and Spike. Lucky came to me with bullet shards in his mouth and Spike had a badly healed broken jaw that had to be re-broke and reset. They were free cats, Buttercup was a cheap dog.
Love is the most important thing I can give, and I do it freely.
Buttercup is the bestest dog ever. When we put her shoes on her feets she gave us a long suffering look and sighed. She’s the easiest dog I’ve ever walked.
She doesn’t like her beds though, its funny to watch her try to curl up in the kitty beds and hang out all over. She also tried to sit in the kitty box. Her butt fit, tail and legs didn’t.
We’ve wanted to get a dog for a long time, but we planned to do it after we got home. It just seems unfair to her that we are adopting her, then having all sorts of strangers in our home and then leave her.
My MOH flew in today, and Buttercup sat in the sit position and wagged herself next to MOH.
I’m now flatlining this thread. The new thread is here.
I don’t really want to sic the sprinklers on them, since I do feel sorry for them, and I did try tossing their trash back in their own yard. Not sure they noticed … :smack:
Not if you guys are consistent with using the same command words, the same corrections, etc. Give her the benefit of the doubt at first and help her to be right.
And, why no pictures?? * taps foot impatiently *
