For heaven’s sake people, when you are enter a performing arts center for a concert with dozens of people behind you, please do not get just inside the doors and STOP to look around. Sheesh. Then there’s like a pile up of people behind you.

Bleep it, I’m tired of being sick. Now my eyes are gunky and it’s hard for me to see clearly, which is not good when I’m trying to issue detailed CAD drawings. I guess I should just appreciate the last five years I had with no illness at all.

Can’t this be the time that my wife and I get to be a little selfish. I am just tired and would like to do what we want.

If you are an academic or researcher in biology, physics, chemistry, medicine, or any related fields, but you do not follow the scientific method, are you still a scientist? Can you honestly call yourself a scientist if you 1. falsify data, 2. suppress findings that don’t support your preferred theory, 3. game the publishing and peer review process, 4. attack the careers of researchers who question your findings, and 5. your research results cannot be replicated by others? Sadly, this has become an issue the past 20 years or so (or it has just come to the public’s attention).

The good news! My D and her husband are pregnant. Conceiving was a challenge. The concern is I have a balanced translocation which if my D has the same could make it much more likely she will miscarry. We’ll find out in a few weeks if she inherited it from me. I’m not allowed to tell anyone for another month or so. This seemed like the place to get it off my chest. Those inclined please pray for her and her family.

I’m applying for a new job. I’ve only been at this one for 11 months, but this isn’t the right place for me. Leaving anytime in the next six months would be bad, as there are problems and it’s my job to fix them, but I don’t have to live for other people first, I can live for myself first.

Conjunctivitis, great. The good news is that the antibiotic I’m taking for the ear infection will cover this, too. Two for the price of one!

I am either having a really bad day, or I am just a grumpy old woman.
To the couple that thought it necessary to have a kissing session in from of the bakery window while I waited behind you to be served-get a room! A quick peck I can understand, but several long kisses on the lips in public while customers are waiting is a bit much. Plus, y’all are old enough to know better; you both were in your 50s as best as I could tell.
When driving on the highway going 70 MPH, changing lanes to the right is not a good idea immediately at an entrance ramp where cars are merging into traffic. Luckily I saw you, otherwise we would have collided and I would have been the one to get the ticket. 
Next time think about waiting until after an entrance ramp; you might save a life!

United, you still suck!
I had NON-STOP flights to Key West that I booked about 8 months ago.
I happened to be checking out airfare prices today, so I checked on our flights. I no longer saw them listed, so I signed in to United.
Turns out they canceled and changed us to a flight where we go north a couple hours from home before going south. I was never notified. Of course it’s way more to get tix from another airline now.
And one of the reasons we even planned this trip was because entry and exit were so easy…

Dear groom: Why did you and your bride-to-be think it was a good idea to hold an outdoor wedding in a remote, rural location at least 90 minutes from your families and friends as well as your own home? Worse yet is scheduling the wedding when the temperature is usually in the mid-80s with high humidity. We’re instructed to arrive at the hottest time of day and spend three hours outside with only the ceremony under cover before going indoors for dinner. Further, you specified semi-formal attire which you detailed as meaning midi or long length dresses with high heels despite acknowledging that there are gravel paths at the venue. One of your parents has chronic pain for which surgery and other treatments have been unsuccessful, yet there are no provisions for wheelchairs which may be needed by then. We will come because we love your parents, but I will wear flats and bring a cane. I may even bring a battery powered fan in my purse to help ward off mosquitoes and keep from melting. With luck, it will rain and everything will be moved inside.

Dear old HS friend,
I didn’t expect to open your Facebook post to see that some careless driver took the life of your daughter-in-law last night, leaving your son to raise their 8 mo old daughter. Words fail me. I am so terribly sorry.

Amazon is great, except when they lie about an important delivery date and tell you there’s nothing they can do.

Holy MANSPLAINING! I’m sorry, I just can’t deal with you today. You’re going on a 30 day snooze. I hope you can behave yourself after your little nap.

Omg when did people stop stepping out of a room to take a call? Or at least try to whisper? You are in a hospital waiting room with a dozen stressed out people and you are all taking loudly while your phone is on speaker phone. And then a few of you are watching a tv show loudly without headphones. And there’s one loud guy who is clearly a lawyer who spent 15-20 minutes shouting into his phone to a client using his full name. Attorney client privilege be damned! And where are the rules? Why isn’t anyone enforcing them? Ugh!!!

We’re in the YMCA locker room. There are at least 10 showers. Don’t wash your feet in the sink. It’s disgusting.

Can’t wait to tell my stepmother that my daughter got into Cal Poly SLO!
Two years ago when my son got in for computer science and her grandson did not for mechanical engineering, she and her daughter were pissed and some of their unkind comments made it back to me (both directly and second-hand). They were unpleasant enough about it that my dad avoided mentioning SLO to them and didn’t wear his CP SLO Grandpa shirt (which he loved and was super proud of.) My stepmother even had the gall to say to me, “well, mechanical engineering is a really selective major.” (Yes, it is. But nowhere near as selective as Comp Sci! 26% vs 6% at SLO in 2022). How did she think that was okay to say to me? Like my son only got in because his major was somehow “easier” to get in? I also found out the boy’s mother said some racist things about why her kid probably wasn’t accepted (my kid is white too, so those comments weren’t aimed at him, they just illustrate the sour grapes that were flowing freely.) I have nothing against the grandson, but I’m grateful my son doesn’t share a school with that family. My dad and I found out later that the grandson never even took calculus in HS and the mom and grandma thought he’d get in for engineering. While I’m sure it’s possible, it makes for an uphill battle. They knew nothing about how to prepare for college apps other than “take as many APs as possible and DS should get accepted everywhere he applies”. But they were ignorant of the modern realities of acceptance rates.
So now my daughter has also been accepted to SLO. She’s going to attend another school with an English program better suited to her plans, but she’s looking forward to telling her grandpa that she got into SLO because she knows that information will be passed on to my stepmother (and it’ll just make him happy because he loves her and knows it’s a great school). And if my stepmother and her daughter are unaware of the difference in acceptance rates between Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science, it’s probably unlikely they know anything about acceptance rates for English.

I love astrology, ha. Somebody posted a meme about certain signs acting a certain way, and I replied, “I still don’t understand the concept that everyone born in the same month will have the same character traits.”
This is the response I got:
"…they won’t, Imagine lying on your back on the roof of the location as your Mother births you, and you capture the placement of the planets. Your Stardust AND time/space moment for “soul-entry” is YOURS. Now Imagine “You” floating above your Mother…and sensing “rightness” of inhabiting the wee fleshy shell to inhabit… THAT is Your Cosmic “Chart”. Monthly Sol is so important “cause of gravitational pull and Earthly conditions… Next, close to exact Time of Birth VERY important, as determines “Rising Sign” at 90deg on the horizon, changing every 2hours with Earth’s rotation. Your monthly is your inner “soul”, but Rising effects “Outward Affect/Appearance”… I may be June Cancer, but Leo was on horizon at birth, and appear now (luckily) large and durable…looked to for leadership…(which without the life experience now-My Cancerian inner-self used to loathe ). Third, it is the location of the other planets, their “conjuncts/overlaps”, “trines/geometry” in Your Life/Chart/Map that is examined by “Astrologer”. ONLY employ an expert that uses Hubble Telescope data algorithms to determine/read your Chart/origin as described, and do “Transits”…where your Cosmic Imprints/Planets are now…!”
Wow, now I’m convinced!
