Say it here cause you can't say it directly- the get it off your chest thread

[PRJ]

Dear funeral home lady: we're having a tough time. we miss my MIL terribly and there is a lot of crying over here. so when I call to tell you that you misspelled her name(!!) on the thank-you notes you sold us, I really don't care that you aren't the one who prints them and that the lady who does is out today and you can get new ones to us "sometime next week". I just want you to apoplgize and say you will take care of it as quickly as possible. and then apologize again. that's what I would do if I had your job.

[PRJ]

{{hugs}} Lafalum. I was a little weepy anyway, but now I'm crying for you too.

[sabaray]

PRJ, a big huge hug for you. And for Lafalum too.

[SplashMom]

Condolences to you and your family, PRJ.

I can't believe you just called me to remind me that it's your birthday. I have no proof but I'm sure it was you who broke into my house and stole my son's Xbox and our laptops. I gave you a home and loved you like my own child for 2 years. I hope your life turns out better than I think it will.

M: I do not know why you cannot find it in yourself to get along with your daughter. You are the parent. It is your responsibility, not hers. She was a perfect houseguest for five nights. She could have been staying with you instead, brightening up your life. And what is this about leaving a message on her cell phone complaining that when she stopped by to visit her little brother, she also picked up her birth certificate and her social security card? What on earth were you trying to prove to her by hiding the documents she needs to have with her in order to be hired for a job in the city where she now lives? No eighteen-year-old should have to rummage through her mother's files for this kind of thing. You should have sent those to her months ago!

H: Bless you for taking your ex-wife's granddaughter under your wing, and treating her as the precious child she is. She is fortunate to have a "grandfather" who loves her, and I am fortunate to have met you. You are an example for us all.

I had to find this thread again. It's such a good way of getting frustration out. Thank you parents for making it!

Why do you feel in the need to fraud the federal government?! Pell grants are meant for those who truly need it. You decided to switch the custody agreement between your parents so that you could receive aid since your mom makes less. Your father offered to pay for the schools by your house, and heck he probably would've contributed if you would've just stayed in state like he asked. I don't know what happen between your parents to make them divorce, but your father is a smart man with his money. I know you don't like his strictness, but your mom should not be your friend. She is your mom and should've told you sooner that OOS was not an option, but nope she let you dream your dream and is letting you fraud our government. It made me so angry when I heard you did this. Your dad was claiming you on taxes, and when you finally realized you won't get any aid with your dad doing that you went and complained to mommy who had it switched. This may be cruel to say but I hope when your dad receives his portion of the tuition bill, he refuses to pay it. Your federal aid, and loans still won't be enough to cover California's OOS price. So your dad will see the bill, and you shouldn't make your mother take out loans for you. You shouldn't lie and say dad I'll be entering as a Junior when in fact I added up all the potential credits you may receive from 6 AP's and it still only puts you in sophomore standing. Law school is an expense all of it's own if you even get in. Everyone in the family agrees that your making a stupid choice and potentially putting your mom in debt and yourself. No one will tell because they want you to realize it when it's too late which is sad. I would've told you, but I was told not too. Also I certainly hope you are not making your dad's mom help pay. I heard that she is the reason why you even got a cell phone and that she is helping with the bill. Your dad makes enough money to do that himself he certainly doesn't need to help. I just don't know what to say or what to do with this information. It makes me sick to hear what you did just to obtain your goal. I was told by my parents that I couldn't go OOS, and when I applied to one they said no before the financial aid package even came. I don't even know if we can hang out before you go which is sad since we used to be really close. Lastly I hope you realize you will not get in state tuition until you lived there for two without being in school. I know you plan on not coming home ever again, but something tells me you will. I'm so sorry that this college experience has split us apart.

Just so everyone knows that reads this I'm not jealous of her, some may think I'm but I'm really just sadden, and angry by what she did. I learned from a young age that having a debt is bad thing. My parents aren't rich by any means. My dad will finally have a full time job with benefits starting in September. He's been underemployed for three years almost and during that time my parents were struggling to pay the bills. So that was the wake up call I needed when selecting schools.

Since you went to bed in a huff two hours ago, I've paid bills, fixed the computer monitor you disconnected, unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher and, like you, tried unsuccessfully to get the %$#@* Garmin to load the new maps.

And you wonder why I am tired in the am?!?!?

[3innest]

Where is the venom coming from??

[hyperJulie]

Why must I get all of my craziest ideas that I want to share with someone once everybody else has gone to bed?! I want to talk about this and there is nobody to talk to.

And closing shifts suck!

But on the bright side I may have the strangest but coolest door tags for my residents next semester. !

Seriously,guy at Friendly's? I know you're older and all. BUT - that hole on the bottom of your ipod, or PDA, or whatever it was..... IT'S FOR HEADPHONES. SO YOU CAN LISTEN TO MUSIC PRIVATELY, WITHOUT ANNOYING ANYONE ELSE. I know you like the song "Hallelujia" and all. It's quite obvious from the fact that we all had to listen to 18 different versions during breakfast. Actually, I like the song too. But, I don't need to listen to 18 versions of it from your booth behind me while you pick the one you like best. And - while you're looking for the best version, do you realize how annoying it is to start and stop and start and stop? And to have it compete with the music already playing over Friendly's speakers? Really. The hole. It's for earphones. Use it.

To the neighbor that I really can't stand:

I love that you told my mother that because we don't attend church my parents are setting a "bad example" for both my sister and myself. I love that you told my mother we would become problem children because we had no proper guidance. I love that your youngest daughter, supposedly my sister's friend, told my mother that people that go to Community College "don't ever make it into real colleges." Well, guess what!

I loved the look on your face when you heard where I was going to college. I loved that grimace when you were reminded that your oldest daughter couldn't cut it in a Community College and now works at Best Buy and that your youngest daughter graduated from UNC-Greensboro but still works at Harris Teeter because you couldn't get a job. And mostly I love that you were thinking about your son, the one that couldn't make it into college and got kicked out of the Marines because of underage drinking violations, and yet WE, the non Church folk, were supposed to become the "problem children."

And to the daughter who said my sister would never go to a "real college." She did her three years at Community College and is now transferring to UNC-Charlotte (a "real college," better then your "real college" I might add) and only has four semesters at most before she graduates. Seems like she did exactly what she said you never would :P

it may be getting better!

Did you miss the class on social or communication skills growing up? If you aren't going to listen to a word anyone else says, why do you even bother to ask? Maybe its just so you can preach to everyone else your brilliant insights. Makes you come across like a pompous, supercilious windbag.

Summer is supposed to be enjoyable. It's not supposed to make you run and hide in the house even faster than you do in winter! How many weeks was my grass actually green before Death Valley weather set in? 4? Maybe 6? I want to be OUTside in summer without fearing for my life!
