What pissed you off today?

[Kenna]

RotoRooter, again.
After sending out a "special remediator" last week who promised "to make it right" and made this huge plan of how they were and when they are going to fix things including giving us a few small 'next steps' instructions regarding the pedestal sink and fixtures and working alongside the carpenter to replace the floor and kitchen ceiling.... the guy seems to feel he doesn't need to return calls or texts or answer questions that have developed since we met (regarding time lines, mold inspection/clean up and tile install) and has decided it was best to FINALLY return my texts at nearly midnight three days later with a very condescending, patronizing tone with "I don't see why we need to talk..I thought we left with the plan for the carpenter to call me the day before he does the floor...I'm very overwhelmed with work right now".
My response was not what he wanted to hear. You don't give me instructions to contact you and then tell me you don't have time to help or answer questions.

They will not like how this works out for them.

The fire alarm chirp at 6:00 am. One of the five fire alarms wants a new battery and is chirpping. I go stand in the hall to find out which alarm needs the battery and no chirp then I sit down and it chirps. Ugh, I will change all the batteries later today but for now my rest is interupted.

Hate my fire alarms/smoke detectors so much when they chirp (wants new battery) or go off when I'm trying to fry something, that I took them down and removed the batteries.

Not recommended. Don't want anyone to get hurt.

News out of New Orleans. Pissed and heartbroken

[CherryWine]

Next Friday I am taking a road trip and much needed vacation (praise the lawd!) to go visit my best friend, her husband, and their little girl in Indiana. We only get to see one another once or twice a year. When we do get to visit, our time together is quite limited because we have to plan around their visiting with her mom and other family while they are here. Often, her mom will tag along with us. Not a big deal.

It will be about an 8 hour drive for me, and I have plans to take a side trip on the way home to see some fall foliage. I’ve been long anticipating the therapeutic nature of a solo road trip...just me, the open roads, and plenty of good music.

This morning I got a call from my best friend’s mother, who lives in the same town as I. She had just spoken to my friend who told her about my upcoming visit, and she proceeded to invite herself along on the trip with me! Not only did she invite herself along, but she didn’t even want me to tell my best friend that she was coming with me and wanted her presence to be a “surprise” for them when we showed up together! She was pretty pushy about it.

I was diplomatically able to tell her “no” without hurting her feelings too much, but I’m still a bit irked and surprised that she even put me on the spot like that. It was awkward. I’ve yet to mention this conversation to my friend. It will be interesting to hear her reaction when I do.

Shopping for tops or jackets. The choices appear to be
- femme - we've got you covered! (well, given that an awful lot of what they have for sale is gauzy, maybe that's not quite the right word, but YKWIM! :-} )
- active - lumberjack shirts for you, m'dears, if you're not going to wear branded 'training gear'!
- older - you'll buy whatever we can be bothered to stock in weird colours , shades-of-sick trim/decoration, weird shapes and sizes, and completely unsuitable material, and like it, frump!

Gah. I want something that covers me, is reasonably robust, and has a tasteful splash of colour. I'm quite partial to a certain type of Japanese art that, with a few brushstrokes can capture bamboo against the moon, or a branch of cherry-blossom - or oriental dragons. So maybe a midnight blue soft jacket I can wear over my otherwise all-black clothing, or a black tanktop with a bit of colour on the front to go with black jacket and jeans.

But no - if it kinda looks like what I'm after in a top, it'll be gauzy and of a material that'll make me sweat like a wossname, absolutely require a bra be worn lest you show yourself off to the world, and , well, be just too durned girly for me nowadays, and it'll need to be treated carefully. I wasn't great at that even when I was femme. Couldn't find a colourful jacket anything like what I'm after, though I saw a woman wearing something close a few weeks ago. And don't get me started on inconsistent jeans sizing and how hard it is to find anything other than 'skinny' jeans...

Much as I love clothes, I hate clothes shopping these days. I wish I could afford to have stuff made for me.

What you need is a sewing machine, provided you know how to sew..... or find yourself a local seamstress and hire her for sewing or tailoring services!

But I know what you mean about not finding clothes that will fit you right or those types of things, regardless of gender.

I couldn't find clothes to fit my son's, or shoes (!), when they were growing up. Sometimes it's hard to find clothes you like and especially at a good price or at a good bargain price.

but.... look into finding a local seamstress, is what I would suggest. Maybe you could find someone who would consider bartering in exchange for sevices, to lessen your financial expenses. For example, buy your material and sewing notions and then maybe this could help in reducing expenses. Then you could barter some of the cost by doing something for them that would be of equitable rate of exchange of services?

[Esme nha Maire]

Thanks, Katzchen, but I'm waaaaay ahead of you on this. Suffice to say I can't make my own clothes (have tried), and getting 'em made isn't a viable option bar once in a blue moon. (And my best friend is an excellent seamstress - and lives halfway across the country. Sigh...)

I'm particularly annoyed at how godawful the clothes aimed at older women are. It's like the manufacturers are trying to have a laugh at older womens expense (quite literally).

That Seinfeld episode came to mind too. However, I lodged a complaint with my health insurance provider BEFORE my final appt with said doctor. Even the charge nurse agreed with my assessment of said doctor. And, my presiding doctor agreed with my evaluation too. I'm super glad to not have the offending doctor sitting on my case anymore.

Well, aye, the whole 'fashion industry' is a prime example of the patriarchy exploiting women at every available opportunity, from start to finish. Whilst the suffering of the women in the seatshops is the greater though, it doesn't detract from the fact that customers of the end products are exploited too, as the money they earn from their underpaid jobs has to go to buy the overpriced produce that the shops owned by the grossly overpaid capitalists offer, whether that produce fits or suits them or not, if, like me, they're unable to make their own clothes.

This whole rotten economic system, designed to benefit the sociopathically greedy at the expense of everyone else, pisses me off. It shouldn't be beyond the wit of humankind to come up with something that rewards sociophilic behaviour but doesn't benefit sociopathic behaviour.

A client canceling a $500 job after I had already set aside the time, started the research and counted on the money. Yeah I am pissed. Usually jobs like that are ones I get on my own, and I would get a deposit but this one was through a writing service. I have been assured I will be "compensated for my time" - not sure what that means yet. This truly sucks, especially after taking off some time last week for Thanksgiving.

People flaking out on me - appears to be a major theme lately. NOT good. Especially when I go out of my way to do good work, be supportive of people when they really need it, etc. and still get cancelled on at the last minute, screwed over, stabbed in the back, bad mouthed, etc.

I will never be like that and thank goodness for the good people in my life.

The tree I had planted when I purchased my home, had to be removed due to its health 4 weekends ago. I took a picture of before and after. It was not the first tree I have had to remove due to their health.

In the process of removal I had asked to have a a few living 4-6 inch limbs cut to a manageable size of which I received 12 to pick from. When it was time for the stump to be cut/removed: I asked for 4 late in life *slices* so I could count the rings. I was graced with 6.

My neighbor who always has a noisiness about him asked what I was doing with the *scraps from my tree. I said I will take the best of the stump to make a cutting board for my son and the branches to be cut to be used as coffee table coasters for him as a memory of his life here.

This afternoon: Nosy Neighbor presented to me HIS version of my idea from HIS cedar tree of both of my ideas. He had the gall to tell me: your Son will love the smell of these more... I politely said no thank you, and explained his memory of the Locust tree from our front yard will have a lot more meaning.

Update to the above post: the day after the client canceled the $500 job he changed his mind again and wanted me to write it. I was wary but did the work and today the money is in my bank account. So that part ended well.

Last night I was editing an obituary for a friend's mother. I was basically finished but wanted to look at it one more time. My computer was acting sluggish so I decided to restart. Ugh, it went through the Grand Mother of all updates and took forever. It was already late at night and I thought I was gonna go insane waiting. I was finally able to go over the obit one more time and send it off. Minor irritation really. Life of a writer, lol, but I do get to work at home in my pjs so I really don't have a lot to complain about.

And I get pissed when we get "forced" to use an online reservation site for reserving a state camp site or cabin where they charge $9 per day as a reservation fee. When I've gone to the state-ran park office to reserve my site, they still charge $9 per day online fee. Their excuse is this fee helps pay for their online reservation system....even when processing a payment in person. Isn't that what the campground revenues and our state taxes help cover?

State Farm auto claims office seriously has issues of getting things right and doing things right the first time. They also have issues with telling me three different things during three different calls. (Don't get me started on how many times the body shop has had to call them)
They've messed up the estimate, messed up the supplemental request, messed up the payment of supplemental request TWICE, messed up the letter that came attached to the second payment, said I owed another $500 deductible because they processed the supplemental as a different estimate, told me there's a third check in the mail but couldn't tell me why they split the payments or why they didn't pay the full supplemental request (no justification for the missing $388 or why they were telling me I owed another $500) but told me I may be responsible for paying the difference between the supplemental request and what they actually paid. But they totally screwed up the payment for the supplemental request (which was for a whole new door and extra parts).

OMG, then the pinstripe company they assigned me to and made the quote for has refused to go to the body shop...they insisted the body shop owner bring it to them. He can't do that. So they said they had to charge me WAY over the State Farm estimate (like off the street customer) if I bring the truck to them on my own. They REFUSED to do what State Farm said they are supposed to do, they are the only one in three or four counties that do this kind of hand painted stuff...yet they are quoting me over twice what State Farm estimated and sent money for. They expected the body shop to deliver it to them at 64 mile round trip, sit there waiting on it to be done, then bill the body shop...OMG :angry::explode::annoyed::angry::argue::badmood::a ngry::explode::annoyed::argue:

I'm ready to deal out a smack down!!!

The third time I called State Farm today, the lady literally told me (after looking at all the numbers on her screen) she was more confused than I was and she couldn't make sense of what had been processed and why the claim-vs-payment numbers weren't working out. She was clueless. Then she got pissy with me when she asked to transfer me to a different department and I said no, that since she admitted she was very confused and couldn't resolve my questions, she needed to escalate this whole claim to someone above her to resolve, to send me corrected letters, to remove the second $500 and have her supervisor call me.

When I go to the body shop, he was on the phone with his "state farm computer person" to figure out why their system assigned a $500 deductible to the supplemental request? It shouldn't do that and they couldn't get it fixed for him.

We both have gone rounds with them for over a week and they just keep fucking it up.

Plus he's still waiting to receive two parts for the door and State Farm told him the painting/"blocking in" of the bed to match the door is not included (but their initial estimate included it).

This is INSANE...

I really really fucked up today.
Before the sun was up, I was unloading laundry from the truck with the plan of loading two dogs up for a trip to the vet before 7:30....
With my arms full, I tripped over a fucking tree root, twisted my pelvic bones, hips and legs and fell HARD on my right side. Knocked the wind outa me, laid there till I could pull myself up, had to get to the house, change my muddy clothes then load the dogs. If it wasn't for the laundry I was carrying, my landing would have been much worse.
I have every intention of taking my sawsall to that root tomorrow.

My aunt Carol.

My aunt Janet is having a gathering at her house today for her husband's birthday. My mom told me a couple weeks ago she wasn't going. My mother is OCD and the most sanitary person I have ever met. She told me she doesn't feel like some people at these gatherings are very sanitary. For example, at the last event one of the nieces changed her baby's diaper and didn't wash her hands and then someone used their hands to get food. My mom's immune system is very low so she has to be very careful about germs. Plus, she hasn't been feeling well.

When she told my aunt Carol she didn't want to go my aunt gave her a hard time. (My mom won't tell her how she feels about the unsanitary stuff or when she's not feeling well) Carol thinks just because my mom doesn't look sick and that she still goes on walks and does things in her yard that my mom is fine. She always drives and then keeps my mom up there all day. My mom always feels bad when she gets home.

I am a little irritated with my mom for not sticking to her guns. I want to say something to Carol but my mom doesn't want me to do that. I feel like I should at least say something.

My aunt Janet is having a gathering at her house today for her husband's birthday. My mom told me a couple weeks ago she wasn't going. My mother is OCD and the most sanitary person I have ever met. She told me she doesn't feel like some people at these gatherings are very sanitary. For example, at the last event one of the nieces changed her baby's diaper and didn't wash her hands and then someone used their hands to get food. My mom's immune system is very low so she has to be very careful about germs. Plus, she hasn't been feeling well.

When she told my aunt Carol she didn't want to go my aunt gave her a hard time. (My mom won't tell her how she feels about the unsanitary stuff or when she's not feeling well) Carol thinks just because my mom doesn't look sick and that she still goes on walks and does things in her yard that my mom is fine. She always drives and then keeps my mom up there all day. My mom always feels bad when she gets home.

I am a little irritated with my mom for not sticking to her guns. I want to say something to Carol but my mom doesn't want me to do that. I feel like I should at least say something.

I am sorry buddy, it seems like a hard situation to be in. Can you take mom to the party but eat elsewhere?

Best wishes for you and your mom,
Chad

Thank you, Chad. She went with my aunt. I had to run out before she got here. I'm still debating on whether or not to say something to her when they get home. Part of the irritation is my mom will complain to me about it and then I go into protective mode. I wish she wasn't so stubborn and would be honest and tell people when she's not feeling well. She's an adult but it pisses me off when people don't have compassion and common sense. Chemotherapy is rough on anyone. My mom tries her best to stay active even when she feels crappy. She's been experiencing flu like symptoms for weeks which is common with chemo and she tires quickly. I just hate that she's not doing what she wants to do and letting my aunt guilt her into things. I wish they could just feel what she feels for a week and see how well they handle it. Plus it's just dangerous for my mom to be around germs right now.

I'm just ranting do forgive me.

Can I swear??????? Frickin 367$&&(;)$?|~>}{<> PayPal.
Ok so I have had the same PayPal acct for like 20 years, before stupid crap got popular. Well anyway I wanted to hook a different Visa card to PayPal . Simple right.

My Partner's sister cannot go anywhere without her GPS. Don't they still
make maps? They're a little more reliable and generally don't get lost. A map won't lead you blindly into desert terrain that you can't get out of! js

[TL1]

Post op surgery annoyances........

Woke up to a message from nurse asking to call her to see how I was due to having some issues. So I called her back and we talked. She asked me to come in to be seen.

I requested not to see dr n. (Who I’ve seen once before and she swooped in and out without really listening to me so I had a negative opinion of her) due to my surgeon not being in today. So they said they will try to get me in with dr c. Don’t know her but I’m like ok. Ended up with dr n anyway. Which this time wasn’t so bad so I was ok with it. But my paper work says I saw dr c. Wtf? Anyway they decided to do a C.T. but I guess because she wanted results now and not by appointment which I guess could mean a different day....told me to go over to the ER and get it done. So I spend all damn day in the ER drugged up half asleep most of the time. (I didn’t ask for pain meds they just asked about pain and when they gave me the IV next thing I know they give me pain meds through it) so I Finally get C.T. then am told dr n is in flight and they will speak to her once she lands to see how she wants to proceed. Again wtf?? So I sleep more and wait for what seems like forever. Finally leave with antibiotics starving and feeling worse than when I went in because it was 8pm and I had been drugged and no food or drink since I woke up today. I did have fluids through IV but also a big ass headache when all was done.

Pretty annoying day. Glad it’s over. And yes I feel pissed that I had to do all that for antibiotics. Especially the freaking ER!

Rude, inconsiderate, aggressive drivers this afternoon on the way home.

I had one pushing me so I changed lanes. He then passed me pulled over right in front of me. Then off to the right and up an exit. REALLY?!

I'm scooting along at 70 mph all of a sudden a Challenger comes past me like a rocket, scared the life out of me.

As I was approaching my exit, this little black car passed me, no problem I'm slowing down to exit. All of a sudden at full speed, and after she had passed me she came over 3 lanes and had to miss the exit sign by a few feet. Flipped me out!

[cinnamongrrl]

Friggin hospital....

First we get here and there's no parking (per usual) then we get to the designated place and proceed to wait and wait and wait.

FOUR HOURS later they finally take my mother in to put in her chemo port.

My mother had to fast for this procedure. She weighs 60 pounds now. So how does it make sense to have her fast, no liquids etc then come to find out her sedation is only a "light" one.

Now my poor little mother is freaked out by the procedure. I swear this day will never end!

*the nurses have all been very nice but someone needs to get their shit together on the scheduling end. Fo.sho

[Lyte]

I don't think anything! Ain't that a wonder! :p

My mother changed her mind at the last minute and didn't get the port. All that time to think freaked her out. I'm really not pleased at all.

It was actually late night yesterday. Two of our sheep got out one was a teenager named Iris and the other was a youngster named Isabella. We got a call from our neighbors saying that they heard what they thought was a large vehicle skid on some stones and dirt and then heard a very loud ba sound.

So I had dozed off and was woke up my one of my housemates banging on my door. We went out there and someone had hit and killed both of the sheep and never stopped. The impact was so much so that one was thrown to the left and landed near a tree and the other was thrown to the right and landed in the ditch.

As a bit of a back story, Isabella was the first animal I bottled fed as a baby and she was still young and getting bottled fed.

To say that I am pissed is an understatement. However, more than that I am heartbroken. Sad does not even cover it.

More extremely annoyed that the AC went out again at work. It's 98 degrees in here ... no joke! Half the staff has left ... can't blame them! The only reason I'm not extremely pissed is that they replaced the chiller ...primary piece of AC equipment... and a bunch of other stuff so it's not like building owners aren't trying. Even so... sigh!! It's going to be 107 - 108 today and tomorrow. :blink:

[candy_coated_bitch]

Thinking about how we're going to lose our housing by the end of the year and how management has known since April and only decided to tell us yesterday.

[Lyte]

Woo hoo!! AC is back up and running! :koolaid:

I can't even imagine how people work outside... in this heat ... everyday!! :blink:

It just happened. I only got two mouthfuls on the way to the table, then dumped my entire dinner on the floor. :( It was wild rice, peas, carrots and potato salad.

I am not going through another preparation of all that again!

I didn't get to wear them much.

Airlines in general can be stressful. Yesterday i placed my phone in the seat pocket in front of me while i flew. When I took it out I saw that someone had stuck gum in there so my phone had a big wad of freshly chewed gum stuck to it. Gross.

[cinnamongrrl]

I had a much delayed moment of being pissed off....

I just realized today that not ONE of my clients bothered to send a sympathy card when my mother passed. They were previously her clients since I took over the business for her when she retired.

These people have known her (and me) for YEARS. I know for a fact she sent them sympathy cards when they lost beloved pets. It’s astounding when you realize how very little you matter to some people.

To find out that the cancer I fought and beat 14.5decided to come back as colon cancer. Not just one spot but 2.

I already know I will be losing my colon however we don’t know what stage or what treatment I will I will need other that that.

[Martina]

I am still so pissed off about that police shooting in Dallas. I truly hope the trigger happy cop spends her next two decades in prison. She really doesn't deserve to even be here when that wonderful young man is not. I saw a pic of her in FB standing next to someone in an All Lives Matter t-shirt. That translates as I. A racist fuck, and the cops should be able to shoot whomever they like with no consequences. Well, she better fucking get consequences. A Black man can't be in his own home without a trigger happy cop shooting him him dead. I have such anger over this. I truly truly hope most of her future is spent in prison.

[Femmewench]

A Black man can't be in his own home without a trigger happy cop shooting him him dead. I have such anger over this. I truly truly hope most of her future is spent in prison.

Many years ago in San Diego, I discovered something I'd never known about modern apartments. At about 10:30 one night I heard someone at my door. I watched the door handle turn and in walked a complete stranger, having used a key to gain access to my unit. He was stunned. I was stunned. Turned out he'd gotten off on the wrong floor (there were only 3 so WTH.) He was in the same unit on the 3rd floor.

I call the management office the next day. They only had 4 basic keys for the entire 300+ unit complex. Odds of someone else having the key to your front door was 1 in 4. It's very common in newer buildings. Apartments built prior to the 1970s or 1980s have unique locks because apparently they cared about their tenant's safety more than the convenience of having fewer keys to create.

What I can't get over is that she didn't recognize the fact that the furniture in that apartment wasn't hers. And just how did she not realize before she opened the door that she wasn't at the right apartment? And what gives her the right to shoot someone she thinks is in her apartment when she isn't in it? Stand your ground or whatever stupid interpretation each state may have doesn't apply if you're not actually in your home or on your property.

What a senseless, stupid thing to happen.

[Martina]

The door was not locked, and it was dark in the apartment. But outside in the lit hallway was a red doormat that she didn't have. To give her the benefit of the doubt, she was shocked. But she was by the door. She could have stepped out, run and called for help. Her first instinct was to shoot. That used to not be the way cops were trained. She's only been on the job less than five years, and this is the second person she has shot. The first was when she was on the job, and he survived. He was Latino, based on his name.

The way we train police has to change. And if there is a young officer who has shot someone, maybe retrain her or him intensively.

I think it's down to police training. I also bet you money she could tell he was Black. And I bet she is a racist piece of trash. There needs to be some fairly thorough assessment of police to see if they come in with a lot of bias. My bet is this Dallas white girl whose friends wear All Lives Matter t-shirts is a racist asshole. Black men and children are not fucking safe in this country. We need to send a message and lock this stupid trigger happy piece if shit cop up for decades. The message needs to be, you shoot an innocent person, you can kiss your freedom goodbye.

[Martina]

Now she says the door was ajar and that he didn't comply to her verbal commands. Bullshit. One neighbor supposedly heard knocking. Whatever. She should have backed out and called 911. I heard the grand jury could recommend more than manslaughter.

[Teddybear]

It was probably my wishful thinking. ;)

[CherylNYC]

Abrams has called for a recount. Kemp has only a tiny bit over 50% of the votes. Anything below 50% triggers a runoff under Georgia state law, so those as yet uncounted provisional ballots could hold the key to trigger a runoff. As Secretary of State, Kemp closed many voting locations which caused long lines in majority African American districts. He also delayed or withheld registrations for many more Georgians, primarily in African American districts, than Abrams would need for an outright win. Voters who couldn't wait on line any longer yesterday, or whose registrations were in question, could ask for provisional ballots. Many of those voters will have to provide further information in order for their provisional ballots to be certified within the next three days.

I just sent money to Color of Change Pac to help finance the enormously expensive task of identifying every voter who voted with a provisional ballot, and doing what needs to be done under Georgia's restrictive new voting laws to get those votes counted. All of that effort would very likely bring Kemp's total to below 50%, and that would trigger a runoff, assuming Kemp doesn't pull another egregious banana republic voter suppression trick out of his ass.

I am SOOO furious about this. Why isn't there a law against this? Anyone with a shred of integrity would have recused himself from counting the votes in his own flipping election!! I guess there isn't a law because it never occurred to anyone that a person WOULD NOT recuse himself under these circumstances. Kemp has proven by not recusing himself that he doesn't have the integrity to be elected dog catcher, much less Governor. GAAH! I feel so helpless. I just keep sending money.

[Lyte]

I'm right there with ya! It's so frustrating and infuriating and (for me) mindboggling the lengths some will go in order to keep their hold on power. Of course, I get that there are people out there without a shred of integrity … but... there was a time when those f'ckers kept themselves hidden away in dark corners … or … at least... endeavored to feign a modicum of decency! Nowadays … well hell, I don't need to describe nowadays to anyone … just watch the news. Anyway, their disgusting behavior still boggles my mind. :seeingstars:

Then I got really pissed when, on my last section of insulation, the slap hammer blew up in my hand, shooting the spring loaded metal end part past my face so fast I didn't see it, but heard it hit the floor behind me.

I'm done.

My birthday sucked this year and it is my own fault. I thought that I planned it well but I failed to fallow through.

I planned a night out with friends but I had a night meeting for work. I thought that my boss would let me leave work early because it was my birthday but I did not clear that in advance of the meeting. The bottom line is that he did not let me leave the meeting early and my plans with friends had to be canceled.


My birthday is the only holiday that I truly care about so when it gets messed up it hurts my feelings for months. I am still hurt and upset but I know that it is all my fault. I will plan better next year. Ugh

Dealing with an entitled cis white man who wasn't taking my "no" as an answer in a business dealing. Hour of my life I'm never going to get back with the emails and phone calls. Ending with him telling me he's going to call someone else to get what he wants. Good thing I know who he's going to call and I already gave her a heads up and she's ready.

As I was using my special drywall cutting bit with a single speed Dremel to slice out spaces for the electrical boxes, I removed the Dremel from the sheetrock because it was kicking back too much, making a nasty uneven cut... and suddenly it shot the bit across the room faster than a bullet!! It didn't break off in the Dremel, it's GONE. This thing is shaped like a skinny drill bit. I don't think I'll ever find it. I'm thankful it didn't hurt my dog who was laying on his bed just a few feet from me.

I got pissed because I've invested a lot of money in my tools and Dremel stuff isn't cheap. It could have caused a serious injury.

One of my residents came to me this morning to tell me she had an altercation with the police last night while coming home.

She was walking up the steps, reached the first of the double doors to get in, and heard footsteps running behind her. Two police officers were running up the stairs demanding her ID. She asked them to talk to her inside and went to open the door. One of the officers grabbed her arm and tried to pull her back. She pulled back and ran inside where there was staff. Staff asked the police what was going on. They claimed that they were looking for someone who had escaped from the hospital. When asked, they refused to provide their names or badges, just said they were state police.

The resident is a very tall very built dark skinned woman, very butch, wearing black jeans and a black hoodie. It was after dark. I really was feeling like she was profiled as a man. They were apparently taken aback when it turned out that she lived there in a women's housing building.

Anyway it all started to feel really shady that they wouldn't provide their names and badges. There was no urgency, the resident wasn't fighting or fleeing, she just asked to speak inside where there was staff and there were a dozen other women in the living room behind them.

Once they got to see her ID, they determined that she was not the person that they were looking for and they left, still without providing their names or badges. They left in two jeeps.

So I called state police, it wasn't them I called local police, it wasn't them. I called our advocate who works in the police station and she said she can't figure out who it is but possibly ICE. Tomorrow I will investigate more but I was so pissed that they chased her like that and put their hands on her and I don't even know if they were actual cops or random dudes in jeeps. They were wearing jeans and T-shirts and police vests with some sort of lanyard ID around their necks that they didn't show staff to take down.

We talked a bit about what could have happened if they had seen her in a different location, the corner store, whatever, if she didn't have a place with people to back her. Just... so wrong and I'm angry.

It was yesterday and it all started with a news report about the Opioid Crisis!
I don't abuse pain killers but now I have to practically kiss a doctors ass for a prescription for them.

Why is it law abiding citizens have to pay the price and be inconvenienced because of those who break the law? I've never cooked meth BUT if I need a antihistamine I now have to go to the pharmacy dept, wait in line, and ask for it instead of just being able to pull it from the shelf like in days gone by!

In Seattle, along 3rd Ave, there was a lot of drug use, dealing, etc etc going on inside of bus shelters SO someone got the bright idea to remove all the shelters leaving us law abiding citizens out in the rain literally! Why couldn't the police taken care of this illegal activity instead of once again inconvenience us who were NOT doing any drug activity?

And of course my last rant was once again against these IDIOT newscasters who insist on clutching an ipad while standing and reporting the news! What I wouldn't give for just once to see someone drop theirs and see the screen smash to smithereens!

So far today I have not turned on TV nor read a newspaper so nothing is pissing me off, at least so far:giggle:

Being put on Insulin recently.

Take it from a Type 1 diabetic, there are much worse things. Maybe, the sunny side is avoiding nasty complications by getting under better control.js

[MsTinkerbelly]

Being put on Insulin recently.

It was one of the best/worst things to ever happen to me! It intrudes into every part and activity of your life...it has to be thought of, and planned for almost compulsively. If anyone can avoid insulin through diet/exercise/pills, I HIGHLY recommend it.

That being said...I felt SO much better when my blood sugar was finally under better control! I had more energy, less thirst, and my sex drive returned to near normal.

I’m sorry this is your new normal, but you can do this!

The guys who recently bought and flipped the house next door to mine.

A couple of weeks ago a storm damaged the tree in the front yard there. It's a young birch tree. About 6' of tree came off the top. It was in their driveway for a while and then they took it and put it in my front yard. So I put it back in their driveway and it has been there for two weeks. Today I found it back in my front yard along with their pile of newspapers that has been sitting in their driveway. Who does that, just take their garbage and throw it in someone's yard? Needless to say it's all back in their yard now.

I second everything that's being said. It can be a tough pill to swallow at first, and like MsT said you have to definitely plan for it. But. You'll feel so much better. When I was put on insulin my sugars improved drastically. I hope you notice some good changes from it. It does take some wrapping your head around though. <3

Just read this #@!&ing insane bullshit!

From my favorite dildo breath himself:

“What if we went back through all the family trees and just pulled out anyone who was a product of rape or incest?” King said. “Would there be any population of the world left if we did that? Considering all the wars and all the rapes and pillages that happened throughout all these different nations, I know that I can’t say that I was not a part of a product of that.”

Yes, he did. Steve King using rape and incest to explain anti-abortion views. I have had it up to here with these men, especially republican men, it's to the point if I find out you are a R, I shut down. You have told me everything I need to know. Buh-bye.

Yanno Ace, what about the women who espouse views like the men you mention in your post? That's what upsets me, as much as the men you mention. Women who support and stand behind men who have those jacked up, fucked up, views. Women, like the ones we've heard from in the current administration. For example, women who exemplify or personify that monster in office. I can think of several: including that horrible person who was head of press conferences - Sarah Sanders, Betsy Devos, and that other one who is married to the guy who absolutely hates 45 - I have no idea why they're married - they have NOTHING in common, politically or otherwise, it would seem. Women, who apparently are as horrible as the people you reference in republican politics.

But I agree with you. I cannot abide that type of mindset, the mindset these people operate by (no matter what political affiliation, but especially those of the republican persuasion).

Yes, agreed. Sometimes women are more upsetting because I expect better of them. As far as seeing more aggressive driving habits, I believe it to be a trickle down from the highest office of the land. More people have more and more anxiety amidst a bleaker future a la climate change, economic uncertainty, violent behavior basically ignored by our lawmakers. We are in a state of exhausted flux. My blood pressure has skyrocketed since this puke stole the reins.

I am getting hot stones massages once a week so my head doesn't explode.

The first thing that pissed me off this morning was when my sister told me that my nephew is getting bullied at school. He is 12 and his father is a Pacific Islander so he is dark skinned. The bully is calling him names like slant eyes. My nephew doesn't want my sister to call and report it. I told her to call right away.

The second thing is when I bring my mom to chemo I park in the ATC (ambulatory treatment center) lot. There are times when there are no spots. However, sometimes I see employees that park there. They are not suppose to. I complained via email a couple weeks ago. Today, the same person and another employee are parked there. I complained again today.

Both these things pissed me off!

I stopped for fuel at 6:30 am this morning on the way to PT. I was fueling up and organizing my stuff in the truck and kept hearing a distant voice say excuse me sir. I paid no attention to it until it got louder. I swung around and saw a man standing there 3 feet from me mumbling something about losing something. It was pitch black outside and raining. My adrenaline went from 0 to one million and I went into fight or flight mode. Suddenly I heard myself cussing at him and he slowly backed up still mumbling. I don't normally cuss so I know that I was ready to fight a stranger. It was a scary situation but once at PT I was safe and happy.

1. there are rules about your dogs put in place for a reason. The first rule about your dogs is they MUST BE LEASHED! the second... you MUST pick up their POOP!..

so tonight while walking my dog (who is a bullied/abused rescue) two clowns are walking two small dogs in the parking lot. Well the golden retriever who is chained to the porch of a trailer park...(oh hey they wont confiscate the dog because there is a dog house he is chained to...(mumbles: a$$holes).. is barking at someone walking... so Pete starts barking...right? then two said dogs in the parking lot where two men are getting out of their car did not leash them...the littlest stars barking and PETE is in formation and backing back.. Difference is... My dog is leashed... so said yappy dog with really bad owners bolts across the drive to confront MY dog..who was bullied by small dogs..

boom...in action: Rebel swoops Pete up..and stupid bully dog is STILL trying to get him by using my leg to jump up to reach. Dumb owner finally gets there...all while i am spewing that's why there are rules in place.. No apology from really bad dog dad... smh...what is WRONG with people just because you name your dog angel, or princess dogs NOT mean they are not damien!

no apology from them either.. people in Kansas are rude AF! this is not the first or only manners issue i had.

I watched a tv program concerning animal rescue and saw where over 100 dogs had been found at one abandoned house. Many were dead and dying. Many were just bones. Many were rescued and re-homed. Anyway, this woman went to court and could not have dogs again. WTF kind of sentence is that??? Put her in jail on bread and water for a while with no human contact. Why do people have animals in their care they do not help and enjoy and love. The more I think of animals the less I like human animals.

I'm pissed off by the presumption that:

1. Everyone has a "smart" phone/cell phone and knows how to use one. ...to "order in" or whatever-the fuck they need...or even contact a pharmacy for delivery.

2. That so many people presume seniors have families or friends that will look in on them, shop for them, or just call them to tell them they care about them.

3. There is so much more that I am pissed off about but maybe the biggest thing is that human beings have to be constantly reminded to care for the planet, every species on it...and that includes themselves.

They keep telling politicians to listen to the experts yet they never shut up when the "experts" are talking. Then they repeat the info as if it was coming from their own mouths. And then they repeatedly cut away to "Breaking News" ( usually something that was announced hours ago ).

It's a lot like watching a football game as the play-by-play announcer ( or the idiot doing stats on which junior college the player went to ) talks over the referee's call from the field and then you can watch the play repeated after the commercial.

Trump administration ends ban on killing Alaska bear cubs, wolf pups


I have anger with the heat of a thousand suns! This man is pure evil.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reuters) - The Trump administration on Tuesday overturned an Obama-era rule that barred hunters in Alaska national preserves from baiting bear traps or killing denning bear cubs and wolf pups or other practices that have been condemned by environmental and wildlife protection groups. Under the new National Park Service rule, effective July 9, hunting on natural preserves in Alaska will be controlled by the state, which allows baiting of brown and black bears; hunting of denning black bears with artificial light, killing of denning wolves and coyotes, hunting of swimming caribou and hunting of caribou from motorboats.

The Obama administration had banned all those practices in National Parks.

The change stems from 2017 orders issued by then-Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke to provide greater recreational access for hunting and fishing in Alaksa, National Park Service spokesman Peter Christian said, acknowledging that the rule-change was unpopular.

“I would say the vast majority of people did believe this was a controversial move and were almost entirely opposed to us lifting the ban,” he said.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-alaska-hunting/trump-administration-ends-ban-on-killing-alaska-bear-cubs-wolf-pups-idUSKBN23G33J


*One must be a real tough guy to shoot pups, hibernating bears etc.....I remember Scotty Mcwanker (ex-gov) Wisconsin allowed that, But listen up you pos hunters.....just because you CAN doesn't mean you should.

[Stone-Butch]

I was raised on fish and game for the first amount of my years as we had no cash and little to buy anyway.

The killing of any animal other than for food or self protection is a crime as far as I am concerned. I hunted for many years what I ate only. That was years ago. Cruelty to animals of any kind is abhorrent and need laws that protect them all.

NC started mandatory mask at 5 pm. I went to a store out here in the country not thinking about a mask. When I got there people coming out of the store were wearing a mask. I was like crap what can I use for a mask, because I didn't have one in my Ford truck. Ooops yep found one.

Went inside and while I was waiting in line this obnoxious man came in laughing at those of us with mask on. HAHA!!! Y'all know all those damn mask were made in China. I said mine wasn't it was made by a lady at the farmers market. He went on and on laughing and being obnoxious. Those mask already have the virus all over them they aint doing you no good. I turned around and said 6' is over there how bout you stand over there. I started out the door and still laughing he said I bet you are a Democrat aren't you? I said I might be but I will tell you what I am not. I'm not a fucking idiot. I don't know why it made me so mad and so mad so quickly.

Actually started a month ago. I changed satellite carriers thinking I was doing the right thing since it was $68 cheaper a month and offered the same channels I've always had.

Fast forward a week after installation lost signal about 4 times that week. Two days after installation it needs an update. This means it shuts down in the middle of whatever I'm watching. It does offer a now/later button but after a few laters it updates itself.

Why does a brand new receiver need updating? Not just that once. I'm talking every 2 or 3 days since then.

Also and it is random but almost daily and sometimes several times and does it every night. It will cut itself off sort of. It plays a dish network commercial a silent commercial. It will flash up on the TV are you still there? No movement in a while. I'm like WTF! Leave my damn tv alone. I will update it when I want to and cut the son of a bitch off when I want to.

So this is what is pissing me off today and every day the last 30 days. So now I'm stuck with it for 2 yrs.

Edited to say: I forgot to mention the fools let their contract with the local channels here expire.WTF

Well. Not really pissed off, just not a happy camper ( but I am when really camping!)
I bought a new phone case and it came with a hard screen protector. I brought the new case and switched it out at work. I know it came with those alcohol wipes, but I seemed to have left that on the kitchen table. Ok, so I'll wait to put the screen protector on later. So I put that in my pocket.

Went to lunch. Sat down. Crack! Cracked it good! ( insert Devo song. Whip it good!)

Ok, you can all share the earworm..lol

I got a phone call from the hospital today. I’m supposed to have surgery on my eye Monday. I have a hole in my macular and I have serious visual problems in that eye. The hospital informed me it’s against the policy to perform surgeries until someone is six weeks from testing negative for Covid. I had Covid and then the Covid rash this month. I got treated in this system for Covid and the Covid rash. All the doctors and the surgeon knew I had Covid and the Covid rash. But nobody told me about this policy until today. I have had to jump through hoops to get medical leave from my new job. I have nursing aides coming to my house every day for two weeks to assist me while I recover. My husband has rearranged his entire life around my recovery. My daughter has rearranged all the babysitting needs around the surgery. I have medical equipment being delivered to my house. There are people lined up to bring meals to us every day for the next two weeks. All this is in play, and today TODAY the hospital calls and says oops we can’t do the surgery on you!

I don't get possed off much mostly just aggregated. Seems the older I get the less tolerance I have of adults who let their children act out in public. This particular parent hatefully and loudly told her young son to close his mouth..then for the next hour she let him run wild and loud in the restaurant.

About 2 months ago I replaced the battery in my truck and both front turn signal light bulbs. Recently one of them stopped working again. I've had a field mouse get into my AC vents somehow. I hope they haven't chewed on my wiring to my lights! (I'm pissed the lights aren't working again and pissed at the mice but mostly pissed that several auto makers are now coating the wiring with a Soy based product...better for the environment...that mice seem to love as a food product)
I had to drive through the city today with a cringe as I hope no police would pull me over for not signaling a left turn, because they might laugh at me when I say "mice ate my truck" ...pissed I need to set up my short-Femme ladder to the front of my truck so I can troubleshoot under the hood, or crawl under the dam thing.

Also pissed that someone yesterday stole my credit card # to make big purchases in Raleigh. Thank goodness for my bank catching it and immediately taking action.

Epic fail. Seriously. It's a do over for the fudge!


Errr... wasted time stirring and irritating by carpal tunnel.

A texted picture from my sister of the whole fam sitting around in their Christmas pajamas opening presents today. I wasn't pissed off at my sister, just kind of sad/happy, but I was pissed off that I'm sick and couldn't be there.

What pissed me off today is my neighbor can dump yard waste from jobs on swale near my house but not keep his jungle maintain.....

Pissed at my car dealership. Took my car in yesterday to repair a tire. Its gonna take some time, we are kinda busy. Ok.

Some time ended up bring three and a half hours!! And at 3 hours I inquired. Ooops..got it done in 20 min then. I was not happy.

I forgot my phone charger. Left me to read magazines. I read a Time magazine cover to cover.

I'm just a mile outside of Buffalo, staying in a hotel. My parents live one mile inside the border of the city. Buffalo is the only city left in the state of New York that still has a travel ban after this terrible storm. I found out today that we're getting another hundred people from the national guard to help out. I thought how great, they're going to get the streets cleaned up so much faster with all that extra help and equipment. Nope, they're not coming to help with clean up. They're going to be stationed around the city issuing $1,000 tickets to anyone who tries to enter the city or drive within city limits. I'm thinking about risking it anyway. My parents are elderly, and their care aides have not been there in 5 days. My 28 year old niece is doing the job of 2 aides, by herself with really no breaks. I'd like to go help her, and also actually see my parents. It's so irritating that they're wasting that help on tickets instead of clearing snow.

That sucks Nina.....wouldn't be the first time government did stupid stuff....hugs

Sounds like the city has found itself a cash cow. Hope they don't milk it until Spring!

The smoke alarm going off at 3am. All three of us, me, Jelly bean and Holly, all jumped!

How rude! You know it never seems to chirp when your awake. It's nocturnal???

I accidentally wandered into a MAGA thread on Messenger. They're all just so stupid and mean! Of course, I did not engage. But I can't figure out how to unfollow it!
