Thank you for letting me bully you into powerwashing around our pool today. I know how tough things are for you, but I hope/believe you felt some sense of accomplishment.

11 years ago, you were a total witch with a capital B to me when I told you, one of my best friends, that we were enrolling our kids in a charter school. You acted like it was a personal affront to you. You used to be so down to earth and then turned into an adult version of a Mean Girl.
Thank you for that. Because I woke up and realized how rude, passive aggressive, and downright mean you were sometimes to your own kids. Realized how biting and snarky you were quite often to your husband.
Well, your youngest kid graduated high school about a week and a half ago and guess what? Your husband changed his status on FB to “separated.”
Looks like he finally woke up, too.
I wish you hadn’t turned into the person you became. I don’t know what happened to turn you into such a mean, nasty, and negative person. You became all of the negative stuff that you’d complain about your mom being back when we were in college.
So maybe the reason your middle kid spent all of high school living out of state was to get as far away from you as possible.
You stopped being a nice person in 2013. And from the looks of it, it got worse since then. And that really sucks for you and your family.
I do not regret letting the friendship die. It was an awesome friendship while it lasted. But nobody deserves to be treated like you treated me…or like you used to speak to your eldest kid…or like you’d speak to your husband, openly mocking him & putting him down in front of an audience. What the heck is wrong with you? I hope you get some therapy at some point.
Guess what? You’ll finally have to get a full time job. I got so sick of listening to you prattle on and on about how you just couldn’t ever possibly handle working a regular full time office job like your husband, my husband, and I all had. Guess what? it’s because your husband worked his butt off that you didn’t have to and could get away with freelance stuff.
If you keep it up with this sort of behavior, none of your kids will want to hang out with you. and that is sad.

What is going on with me? I watched a quick clip of a WWll vet saying “I love you” to president Biden and him immediately saying it back and I’m in tears.

Please let me control my anger and disgust at my husband’s friend who is a veteran, to use this day as an opportunity to complain about how weak the military is and the “social experiment” that is destroying it. I know EXACTLY what that means, that and when people start complaining about our “woke” military.
It is complaining about anyone who is not a heterosexual white guy. It really is. As if our military readiness is compromised by allowing anyone else to serve. This is so offensive to me as a veteran, with a family full of veterans, some of them female. Thank you to those who have sacrificed and served, and thank you to those who still are.

Hmmmm…….trying to figure out why I received an ad on my Facebook feed (on my iPhone) for a service that provides a “security operations team” that “gets our members out of travel security emergencies - fast”. I finally remembered that I was speaking with someone in-person today and mentioned my daughter’s roommate is spending the summer in Moldova and Georgia.
This is not good on multiple fronts.

Really?!? BOTH our Australian shepherds got hit by a porcupine during the day??? We didn’t discover it until after hours, so DH had to take them to an emergency clinic. One dog had to be sedated to remove the quills in his face. They will be fine, but $$$ for us. And from previous experience, we know that porcupines tend to hang around the same area for awhile.

To that fifth grade teacher who told me my kid’s EOG math test score wouldn’t let him go to the advanced math class, but it wouldn’t stop him from getting into college: you will forever be on my bad list.
Just got off the phone with an admissions officer who said their engineering schools are the most selective and wouldn’t consider anyone who hasn’t taken calculus. Well thanks to YOU, fifth grade teacher, and the math path you imposed on him, kiddo is only going to be able to take calculus as his one and only elective in his senior year, along with an IB math class. He’s taking rigor to highest level he can, and it still doesn’t matter to some elitists, never mind his mind-blowing 1520 SAT.
And to the magnet school that said tests don’t matter: you’re a bunch of hypocrites and liars. Poo on you.

If you are sick, if you have symptoms, why don’t you stay home? Why do you think it’s okay to expose others so they get to be miserable, too?

SIL, I get that you cut corners and parse information to my brother. And I keep calling you out on it. So I was a little thrilled today when you called to dress me down and I could share with you that your actions create more work for the rest of us and how we feel about it.
And just now, dh had to send a text to the group that when he tried to reshare info to your gmail account a totally different name is associated with it. You shared that, yes, this is your account. Who is that person? What kind of scam are you pulling? You already added a “business” to our mom’s house and claimed to have no knowledge of it.
Look, if you want to cut corners in your life, then go ahead. But I don’t want the sale of mom’s house and all this other stuff to be affected by your shenanigans. And the way you keep my brother out of the loop is starting to feel like abuse. Is it any wonder that he gets upset and clueless and feels things “are moving too fast?” Maybe that’s because you aren’t sharing the emails we are sending him.
We’ve been a cohesive unit up until now. I would hate for that to change.

I was at the doctor today and the medical assistant, a sweet young woman, made the nicest comment to me. I could tell that she was being completely sincere. It made my day.

It’s nice to have lunch with a friend you’ve had for 25 years. Even when you haven’t seen each other in a while, the conversation just picks up where it left off. That’s a real friend.
