That Itch You Can't Rant About (The Rant Thread)

[N-o-l-a 7,168]

The Rant Thread.  Circa 2013. 

 

Tell us your gripes, fears, hopes.  (And we'll quickly put you down.)

Tell us your deepest, darkest desires.  (We will return you to reality)

 

All are welcome -- chew the fat here, pass the time.

 

A brief history of this thread: it started off as a place for VJers to rant, vent, talk.  It has evolved into an everyday friendly (and rude) conversation.

 

THE RULES of the thread, from the undersigned.

1.  We like each other here.  So don't be a jerk.
2.  No Facebook links.
3.   This thread is not for debates, not for fighting.

4.   This is a conversation.  Keep it light-hearted.
5.   If you see antagonists, just put them on ignore.
6.   If you think that your stinkiness don't stink, please stay out.
7.   Not everyone on the planet is going to agree with you, so don't push issues.
8.   Please don't push your political and religious beliefs here.
9.   If you don't like the people here, please don't post here.  VJ is full of other threads.

10.   Please don't post anything that'll link anything to your identity.  We've had problems in the ancestral threads.

11.   Have a sense of humor; don't be such a stiff.  Remember?  Humor?

 

Don't take anything personally; half of the stuff said here is just jive (In the case of T-Bone, it's 100% jive).

 

From SAT, the OP.

This thread is politically incorrect.  Come in, come in, rant away.  Let us tell you how to suffer.  Let us make fun of you. We're rude and crass. Business, all business!

Crucial post lifted from predecessor thread, see man:

Many.  Does it contribute more to global warming when we fart outdoors than when we fart indoors, huh man?

Our neighbors haven't mowed their backyard now at all since the snow melted.

 

The town sent them a letter and they mowed the front, but not the back. Their yard is so small, there is just no excuse for it.

 

I checked the records and they didn't pay their property taxes this year, no escrow, so I'm guessing no house insurance, which is why we haven't gotten the info from them yet. I think we are just going to proceed to suing them, and then putting a lien on the house if there isn't any funds to seize.

So....it’s official now....my father likes my husband more than he does me....they are going on a backpacking/camping/fishing trip to Colorado in July.

The last time my father wanted me to go camping/fishing/backpacking with him was 1979 (family trip my mother and sister went too....I was 8 years old)

I know how you feel, my ahole neighbors 2 houses didn't mow their yard for over 5 weeks. They just mowed it this week because they had people come in from out of town which is the only reason they mowed it. 

 

The good but stressful thing is that we close on our house this week. We are so excited because this is our first house.

It melted only yesterday, and maybe not yet for the season, so give them a chance already, si Nola-B. ma'am!

I would agree....but my father came into my office last week and asked what my husband was doing for lunch that day (at noon....when I had not had lunch). So they went and had pizza.....(and for someone who hasn’t had carbs in a few days....me.....that’s like....well....an emotional breakdown) 

 

I’m feeling a bit bitter right now.

 

And carb starved. 😢

Perhaps male bonding, ventured guess by we man.

Talk to Papa JMany and tell him that you're feeling left out, prefer inclusive over declusive ma'am.

Still haven't put away a bunch of hand-towels & bathmats that we shall offer to Mama-Mrs.-T-B., senior she man.

We don't know what the next step is, must ask vet man.

Weather bloke had promised us an entire week of lower temps and low humidity.  Already shortened that to four days, but I will take what I can get. I've yard work to get to, the lawn to mow, yada yada.

I took the dog to the vet Saturday past, the staph infection she had last summer is back. Two more weeks of drugs every eight hours with my handy dandy pea shooter. She hates me already.

Himself had labs drawn last week, we questioned the tech to make sure they drew them all this time. Oh yes, everything's here. No as it happens, it was not. No liver panel, no cyclosporine level done. One job, people, one job. He will have to go back, and they helpfully said it will be two weeks until they fit him in. Nonsense, the place is a brand new facility and I've never seen another patient in the place.

In her voice mail, the nurse told me his renal numbers are not that good. I've had a look at the last set of results, and the latest numbers are an improvement. Also not unexpected having been on anti rejection meds for seven years.

I give up with these people. I've spoken to the transplant team in TN, they will deal with this nutter.
