Ranters Play in the Pit -- I think it's for the Month of July

I pit Milton Rehab for their intermittent use of the wound vac and my IV meds. These are how I’m going to get healthy!

Sorry, not complete enough. The bike is completely disassembled; gotta construct and hang the shifters, brakes, derailleurs, etc.

Anyway, I’ve got some reference materials. I’ll just quit whining and get after it.

That really is bullshit. Do they think you don’t have enough work to do? This sounds like it could take a couple damn days. Team building my ass!

Because my life needs to be more annoying, I had to have a very expensive repair done on my car plus get new tires and that is going to cost me nearly $2000.00 this afternoon. I have to pay cash because I had to cancel my emergency fund credit card (I accidentally left it in Eureka Springs, long story, involved alcohol) and am waiting on a replacement, which won’t be here until next week. Now my emergency cash fund is nearly gone. But I guess it is being used for exactly what I saved it for, so there’s that. I’d ask my husband to help out but since I plan on moving out soon, it’s probably not cool to do that unless he offers. I’m not broke-broke, but I am well outside my comfort zone for savings now. I knew my car needed some work, but I had no idea that it would be this expensive. Now I feel that I need to get my finances back in order before I can move.

Oddly, TheElf doesn’t really want me to move out yet, I’m pretty sure he wants me to talk him out of divorce. So I’m not out on the street, after a couple of paydays I feel comfortable with being able to afford to live on my own, and there is no hurry. But it’s annoying because I want to be able to move forward, but can’t yet.

I don’t think that’s legal. Payroll should be warned that they need to compute the June pay with the June deduction rate. HR should be the ones notifying Payroll. (I got a retroactive raise, once, with a similar split.)

The Maine Coon has her tail and half her body on my leg. It would be much nicer if it weren’t NINETY-SEVEN DEGREES OUTSIDE.

Stop bitching to me that you don’t have money.
You bitch that you can’t afford cable, yet you stop and get a coffee everyday on your way to work. Sometimes you make two stops a day. At $5+ per coffee times 30 days a month, yes you can afford cable. You choose to get coffee instead.

Stop whining to me that I’m so lucky to be able to afford a new car. You and your wife smoke a pack of cigarettes a day each. At $14 a day for $30 days, you can afford a new car. You choose to smoke instead.

Don’t bitch to me about not being able to fix the heating in your house. Your entire family goes out to dinner at least one night a week, and you allow your teenaged daughter to bring at least one friend with her, at your expense. You set no limits on what anybody can have and dinners out are at least $200 each time. You go out to the bar at least one night a week. You have the money to fix your furnace, you choose to eat out and drink instead.

Don’t bitch to me about not being able to pay your rent. Every weekend you take your (four) kids out to an amusement park, or to the beach, or anywhere that costs a butt load of money. You let then have whatever they want, you don’t want to disappoint them by telling them NO. You have money to pay the rent, but you’d rather play the role of the nice, indulgent parent and make the ex look bad. You want to put your ego ahead of your bills go for it, but don’t whine to me about it and don’t ask to borrow money.

Don’t throw you hands up in the air and say that is just how kids are these days after your 16 year old gets busted for smoking weed. He was having sex in your home at 14, you let him get tattoos at 15, you were letting him buy $1000 tennis shoes when you couldn’t afford the rent because you wanted him to be happy. You never told him the meaning of the word NO, now you wonder why he is out of control and bemoaning the fact that like your oldest son he is doomed to a future of being in and out of jail. You are the parent, it is your responsibility to teach your kids self control, responsibility, that actions have consequences, that sometimes you have to wait for what you want, and most importantly… the word NO. You wanted to be his friend instead of being his dad. Deal with it.

Don’t bitch to me about your landlord being mean because he is evicting you. You go out drinking several nights a week, you buy a new car and park it in the driveway where he can see it, you brag about the cruise you take every year because it’s your right to enjoy yourself and you deserve nice things. Well, your land lord deserves to be paid the rent. Why should he pay for your drinking, and your new car, and your vacations? No, he is not being mean, you are being a piece of shit tenant, and stop whining to me that you soon won’t have a place to live. Its not my problem your credit is fucked because of your poor choices and now nobody else will rent to you. You made the choices, live with them. Nobody owes you a place to live or food to eat. Least of all me.

I get the impression that you’re ranting about more than one target, Sahirnee. Do you wear a T-shirt that says Tell me what dissatisfies you about your life"?

Wait. I notice that you’re aware that a lot of these irresponsible dumbasses go out drinking on a regular basis. Are you their bartender? :smiley:

My online source of income keeps crashing, denying me money.

I tried to clean up the crap from the leaky fridge. My mistake was to flush the stuff I cleaned it with down the toilet, and then the toilet got clogged and I had to bail the toilet water out.

Fuck this day. Fuck this day to hell.

Ugh! Sahirnee, I hate that kind of complaining, too. Why can’t they see they are making choices? People choose what to spend their money on.

The toilet has been fixed. One less thing to worry about.

It’s more than one target, I could have added a few more.

I don’t get people don’t understand putting something off until they can afford it or giving up one thing to get another.
I can handle their bitching most of the time but sometimes I feel like they resent me because I am not in their position.

I really have a hard time with the whole idea of not wanting to set limits with their kids. It’s like they are ashamed to admit they can’t afford everything. They are setting their kids of for a lifetime of trouble by not imposing limits on them now.

God fucking dammit, of course I have herpes. What a lovely week this has been, huh?

Can I rant about the apostrophe in the title?

My doggy loving neighbor has now removed the “No Trespassing” sign that was posted before we bought our land. (I think I probably need to get the skinny on why that sign was posted in the first place - it wasn’t facing the road or near either driveway, but instead was on a fencepost about 100 feet from the road, and facing the neighbor’s property. Maybe he was using the land as though it were his own before we bought it? But, based on the surveyor’s markers that are still in place from last summer, the sign and the fencepost are clearly within our property lines.) I don’t really care about the sign, and would gladly have taken it down, or agreed for Mr. C to take it down, had he asked. But to just remove it himself? Nope.

I think I’ll just plaster the post with all sorts of goofy signs: “Forget dog, beware of owner;” “Warning: The dog has a gun and refuses to take his medication;” “Notice: Thank you for noting the new notice;” that sort of thing.

Sheesh, I hope this old coot goes to the rest home soon!

Funny you should bring that up. I was just about to ask a mod to remove it. Bit now that you’ve submitted a post that calls attention to it I’m afraid that deleting it would make your post nonsensical. That would weigh on my conscience.

But not more than looking at the damn thing for another four weeks would drive me crazy. I’m going to make the request, and let the chips fall where they may.

90% of my posts are nonsensical and the other 10% are irrelevant, anyway :stuck_out_tongue:

You think that’s bad? 100% of my posts are nonsensical AND irrelevant! At the same time!!!
