a little glass of WHINE!

[Gemme]

I think I need to get into the next Whining 101 class. That was fantastic, Jo.

I'm just irked at the continuing issue of my housemate not fixing her computer and internet service so I can get a friend of mine out here to fix MY computer, thus eliminating the constant "Are you using the laptop now?"..."When are you going to be done with the laptop?"..."I wanted to use the laptop!"..."Dude who lives in the room that the laptop is kept in, please vacant your own personal space so that the rest of us can use the laptop!"

I have dreams of the days when the wireless was properly set up and no one had to kick another out of the modem room to use it. I also vaguely remember when my computer was up and running of its own accord.

*le sigh*

You go Gemme!

I think you did pretty darn good! Sounds like a fully justified, oh-that-just-sucks kind of a whine to me.

And thank you Mrs. Strutt...I do try Feel free to come back if you have a whine-worthy day!

I had a good chuckle at Jo's whining. I swear real estate people havent a clue.

When I was looking for a place, I was very clear on what I wanted. And I was very clear that I did not want to deal with the noise of children. Airplane noise was preferable to screaming kids.

Well, this dink used to schedule showings for me, and as I drove down streets fills with big kids and little kids, and fetus kids, I could feel my blood presure growing into the stroke range.

I finally, took matters into my own hands and found a place smack in the middle of a very busy street. Traffic noise, accidents aside, is background noise to me. And no one sends their kids down this way to play cuz it is not safe for them. Kobi very happy.

Just pissed me off that the realtor got a commision on a place I found myself.

Oh I love this thread...finely a Whine I can have as a recovering alcoholic!!!

Not an official 'whine' per se...well, maybe more of a dilemma/concern. Remember that old axiom "Careful what you wish for?" Well, I think I'm there now.

Here's the deal...I recently purchased a very high-end super expensive sewing/embroidery machine that retails for 8K - yes, you heard me right, 8K - tho that's not what I paid, but still paid mega-bucks! Now, here's the problem...I want to go away for a week or two, but am paranoid that someone might break into the house and steal it - oy vey!!! So, in a sense, it's like being a prisoner in my own home, or like being shackled to the machine...taking it with me is not an option - way too big, and who the hell wants to do that anyway???!!!

So I called my insurance company today to find out about it. They're calling me back tomorrow or Thursday to let me know what my options are. But I'm betting that they're going to tell me that my premium will go up if I want my insurance to cover the machine, ugh!! Ok, so that's my whine or groan, if you will....guess by comparison to other's whines, mine isn't all that important, but it is to me...what to do? Guess I'll know after I speak to the insurance people. Gad, you're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't!!

We are supsoed to leave Saturday on a 2 week vacation of a lifetime in London. Except that damn volcano keeps going off. WHINE.

Nashville is under water, nothing works, it keeps raining and I am going on a vacation starting Saturday if I have to swim somewhere.

Whiiiine.

[JustJo]

Well this just stinks...clueless realtors, unwired roomies, uncooperative volcanoes, embroidery machines taking prisoners....

[cinderella]

Oh, but wait, I can't...my machine, WHIIIIIINE!!!
