Well that Zoom call wasn’t helpful… All we agreed on was the 2 reservations I already made. Flexibility is nice, until it’s not. Tourist destination, in wedding season, as a group of 10, doesn’t really allow for infinite flexibility. And the “kids” who suggested they may have an “in” at a restaurant - I suspect they don’t know that restaurant prices out at about 400+ per person.

Today was not the day to have you and your patients to be running late, dental hygienist. I have a plane to catch and a funeral to get to.

So, somebody scraped the front driver side of my car on the garage door and didn’t notice it. Husband has both sides of his car scraped by the garage. Hm, do you think maybe it was him? I’m taking 50% of the blame, and I just spent an hour trying to minimize the look of the damage. (Much of the beige paint came off, but there are still little scratches). Life goes on…

My father died a year ago, my mom has been in and out of care since this June.
Today , my MiL sent me a meme with the note “I know it’s in bad taste but I couldn’t resist” : it says “when you die, put your remains in a timer and you’ll never miss family game night”
My poor husband. This woman is such a good natured but totally batty person

Some folks have waaay too much time on their hands. Find a hobby.
I don’t care that you never missed school. You were probably the idiot who spread his germs to everyone else. Your little one is sick; she just started antibiotics today and she’s exhausted. Why are you going to send her to school tomorrow?

I dropped $1000 (after negotiating a last minute deal) and drove 4 hours for a 3 night getaway-by myself- to a home with a pool. I grew up spending every minute i could swimming in a pool or a warm lake so I am always frustrated that I can’t do that where we live in western WA. The east side of the mountains is different though…hot summers and warm lakes and pools (even without heaters).
I get over here and the pool is filthy and freezing because the pump leaks so the homeowner has to replace the leaked water constantly. I told him in my initial email that I was interested in his place solely for the pool. Did he bother to tell me there were multiple issues with the pool and its not really usable? Nope. Uggggh.
Dishonest people suck.

Today is August 28, 2024. My new dishwasher was installed today. The old dishwasher has a sticker on it that says assembled August 27, 2014. We got exactly 10 years out of this appliance and the guy installing it said that is the max he’s seen and the manufacturer says 6-10. Should I set a reminder for August 29, 2034? Can’t wait to see what it’ll cost then.

You (the secretary of the road association) don’t want me to report the previous treasurer’s sketchy bookkeeping (that gave herself a tax break) to the Board of Directors because it’s not neighborly?!? It’s not my fault that people voted to make every homeowner on the street a Board member. I’m glad the president agrees with me and is insistent we report this.

No, airline booking agent, I was asking you to rebook the flight to Tucson at the lower fare (and save our upgrade seats) since its less than 24 hours when we booked it. No, we are NOT going to TULSA. We are going to TUCSON. Glad I paid attention to the flight numbers and didn’t end up with tix to TULSA. Then, as you were doing it, we got disconnected. The new agent I reached handled it, but didn’t pay attention to the fact that you had apparently completed the rebooking (though without seats). Glad I was on my account, or I’d have ended up with 4 tix to TUS. She claimed there was no other itinerary to TUS until I read her the confirmation number. Oh yes, then she saw it and cancelled the duplicate itinerary. Oh, and then she put us in the wrong seats. That’s 45 min of my life I’ll never get back

TFW your child, who is on a tropical island, texts to ask what his blood type is. And then, of course, doesn’t answer when you inquire as to why he needs that information.

My friend, it was so, so good meeting up with you today. It makes me realize how much I need others. Laughs, so many laughs. We just get each other.

Ok. I cannot herd cats. If you all really want to go on this trip in December, I need some engagement. I said many times where I’m at and where I’d be through the holiday weekend, so why are you surprised about a phone call to try and figure things out? I can’t do this on my own; I’m more than ready to buy myself a business class ticket and go by my lonesome. Figure it out and call me. I’m not setting it up.

Dear Husband,
Stop chewing gum. You chew it with your mouth open and you sound like a cow when you do that. The sound of the gum chewing is driving me bananas!!
