Say it Here ‘Cause You Can’t Say it Directly—The Get it Off Your Chest Thread (NO REPLIES TO OTHER POSTS)

Not even 7AM and I’m having to scroll through the pictures of dogs at the Westminster show to get my blood pressure down…

I’m so sad for my D. She and I are both empaths.

She texted me this morning that a coworker was picked up on his way to work this morning. He was sitting at a red light, minding his business. He was pulled over and detained by ICE. He has no record and has been upstanding in every way.

She was crying at work - and she’s in a sanctuary city.

Please tell everyone you know who may need to hear this, carry originals of your legal documents with you everywhere. Make clear copies give them to trusted friends/family.

When did using turn signals, stop signs and signal lights become optional? :man_facepalming: :rage:

There is a heartbreaking situation near me, with two children who died from hypothermia. The mother had asked for help, but she ended up living in her car with her five kids. The comments about the article on our local news website are appalling. When did so many people become so heartless … and when did it become acceptable to say horrible things about others?

So many people in my orbit with cancer over the last year. The latest…one of S21’s HS classmates with ovarian cancer, so yes, a 21 year old woman. Just heartbreaking.

Thank you, financial institution, for helping solve the mystery. Now, can the IRS fix it? We shall see.

ETA: I love when someone in a giant bureaucracy actually is helpful.

ETA: It worked. I have never been so happy to have money taken out of my account!

This is significant intervention. I hope it works.

It sure would be nice if expiration dates on groceries, medication, etc. could be more visible and in uniform locations depending on the product. I am tired of turning glass jars over and around while standing outside in the sun, looking for the date. Then there is the toothpaste or ointments when the date is embossed in the edge.

I know I am not good at rotating my goods in the pantry or bathroom, but there must be an easier way to print the expiration dates!

Might have to discontinue my email breaking news updates (which are about all kinds of news items) because when I see one arrive they are stressing me out!!! :newspaper:

Go ahead and snow, but if my appointment tomorrow morning is rescheduled again I am going to scream. Someone has got to look at this incision; it’s not improving.

Oh, my gosh. After being on yet another conference call with idiots, it reinforces my incredulity that buildings ever get built. And honestly makes me worried about being in any of them that are. :frowning:

Outlook sucks. It’s ironic that everyone teases me for AOL when it works so much better!

Dear old car, you’ve been a solid member of the family for 15 years. Did you overhear that you’ll be replaced next week and decided to have major problems?

Alaska Airlines, you really dropped the ball this week. First, you canceled the flight for no good reason and rebooked on the “next” flight which was definitely not the next one, but the one departing the next morning! No meal vouchers, no hotel offers, just one measly email saying they are sorry. The weather at both points was fine!!! A mad scramble to find hotel accommodation that was not $800 a night followed. And then,
to add additional insult to this injury, the new flight got delayed again, for no good reason. Sigh. You used to be so much better than that!!!

Dear Dad,
Once again, you’ve reminded us of what a grade A jerk you truly are. You sent me a manipulative, passive-aggressive guilt-ridden email chastising me for why your Christmas gift never showed up. A NORMAL person would have just picked up the phone and asked about it, not made a big deal about it. It would never occur to you that maybe it got lost in the mail.

Instead, you’re pouting and having a hissy fit over where is your gift card to Amazon.

You’re going to be 79 yr old in a couple of months. Quit acting like a child. You have plenty of money to buy yourself whatever the heck you want. So go do that.

But be careful for what you asked for. You said that from here on out, we’re not doing Christmas gifts to each other anymore. You got it. Same goes for your birthday.

You always assume that if something doesn’t go your way, it’s because it’s something meant negatively against you. Never occurs to you that none of this has anything to do with you.

You are a total butthole. And a bunch of other 4 letter words that I can’t say. So right back at you, buddy. In your words, “Merry Christmas. Have a nice winter.”

It was very entertaining to watch you flirt with my husband all night. Knock it off.
