Please stop with the tall tales.

Let the kid go to middle school. He’ll thank you for it later.

Thank you Simone Biles & teammates and Katie Ledeky. I really need something happy and uplifting right now.

Just because you sent out a “save the date” announcement a year in advance does not mean the recipient is required to attend. I knew as soon as I received the “save the date” that we would not be able to attend. Please stop giving us the silent treatment. The world does not always revolve around you and your kids.

I have been wearing glasses for most of my life. I had never lost or broken a pair until last week. I am not irresponsible, I am not a serial glasses-loser, things just happen sometimes. But instead of realizing that and being understanding and helping me pay for at least part of the $570 replacement glasses, you’re being totally unsympathetic. I’m still your dependent child. Just because I have another pair (which is uncomfortable to wear all day) and a job doesn’t mean I should have to cover this necessity all on my own.

Now that you’ve shared that little “bomb” with me, I understand why you’ve been struggling.
It makes me sad too.

I will sleep like a baby the day I cash my executor’s fee, after all the grief I’ve put up with from the other heirs. Earned every dime.

Seriously? Strep throat? Where the hell did I pick this up from? And in August!
At least now I have a legitimate excuse to lay low tomorrow. Ugh.

I acted out. Yes, I did. But you were being unhelpful and defensive. Which is not why.the place hired you. You’re supposed to be “client-centereed.”

I’ve been waking up so tired in the morning lately. I keep promising myself that I’ll go to bed early.
It’s almost midnight and here I am again watching the Olympics.

(:expressionless:

They’re making a Top Gun 2?! Sweeeeeeeet B-)

It went well today and now that it is over and no longer hanging over our heads, we can move on. I finally feel like a lousy summer will finally get better.

Thank you whoever is looking after me. You saved my life as a truck hit my car today. Thankful to be safe but the car is a mess. Thank you to the police officer who came to help me. Please continue to keep me and my family safe.

Pleeeease show something else other than swimming, diving, beach volleyball and gymnastics!!! There should be more variety of sports going on at the Olympics!

Not to mention, beach volleyball is BORING.

Oh wait, the athletes are attractive women in bikinis. I get it now.

Next time, TELL ME when you disconnect the cable. I spent 30 minutes on the phone with Time Warner Cable and even scheduled an appointment for a technician to come to the house! After you said, “Oops, I unplugged it…” I had to call back and wait on hold so that I could cancel the appointment. :frowning:

The stupid is out in full force in our area today…stupid and dangerous that is

WHY, dear neighbor, do you own a dog? Listening to that poor little guy whine and cry while locked in your basement all day, everyday is heartbreaking. Often even when you are home!!! I have offered several times to take him out for walks and to play with our own dog during the day since I am working from home. HINT HINT.

Please take me up on it! I promise I will not steal from your basement or judge your cleanliness (I have been in your home several times, do you have any idea how amazing you keep your home compared to the rest of us?? Maybe that’s why you stick him in the cellar.) It’s just awful.

I am just going to keep on asking.

Thanks for the refund AAA, but not until after I called to follow up after waiting for weeks. Of course, I notice you did not refund the credit card service fee…Apparently you expect people to carry wads of cash on highways we are apparently supposed to know are monopolized by transit tow companies that don’t allow AAA to tow there. Not one person I have told this story to, including 3 who live right there in the area, had any idea that AAA will not, in fact, tow you from one of the busiest highways in America.
