Say it here cause you can't say it directly- the get it off your chest thread (Part 1)

My thoughts are with the Italian earthquake victims. So sad to see the damage on the evening news and to hear of the rising death count. :frowning:

Well, that flight cancellation led to an absolutely crappy day for both of us. And probably for a lot of other people too.

Way to stay professional and persevere. Good things come to those who don’t give up.

Cancer just sucks. I’m so sorry your H has to go though this. You are an awesome caregiver and advocate. I wish so much you didn’t have to be…

Holy crap, mom. STOP CALLING ME EVERY DAY!!!

That is very flawed logic you are spewing , but at least you’re confident the you are right and 50% of the population is wrong

I wish school sports were different.

Nowadays every kid has to dedicate their life playing a sport year round, and coaches seem to think academics and jobs can fall by the wayside. Odds are, after HS and college graduation the time spent on sports will amount to nothing.

Can’t you just let kids have fun?

He isn’t looking for a fancy corporate job, but one in international development, where he can make the world a better place. Did you hear that, universe? Can you throw him a bone?

That was fascinating, weird, a little eerie, and definitely something I have never seen before…

You are so. Freaking. STUPID!

Clearly there is no correlation between intelligence , kindness and social appropriateness. You may be “gifted” but you are one of the most socially inept, rude people on this planet.

So as XH’s step-sister, the last few years you want to be considered part of my children’s family and be included in all the immediate family celebrations for their weddings, but you’ve never given either of them a wedding gift. It’s not the amount of a gift, it’s the lack of thoughtfulness for them that annoys me so very much. For both weddings, they had to eliminate people they really care about for you to be included in some events. X(

Dr XXX, you are being unreasonable not to let students use extra paper for calculation when we have to convert SI units to English units, especially dealing with heat transfer!

Please, please, please quit trying to make Tony Romo work. It has never worked. :((

I’m sorry you were offended when I asked about your son’s waitstaff job at a local chain restaurant. At least he’s working. You say it’s a sore spot with you after you spent so much on his education in a field he could have studied at an in-state public for less than half the cost. And I’m sure it’s a little disappointing when kids like my son who went to the in-state public get good jobs right out of school. Heck, at least your son finished his degree. That’s more than some of their friends have done. Lighten up!

I cannot believe you changed the 401k plan. After I spent so much time finding the best plan a couple years ago you went and switched without a word to me. With your uneducated decision you have violated at least two provisions of ERISA .I am so tempted to file a complaint with the DOL. Perhaps it’s just time for me to leave…

I miss you so much it hurts.

Got it! Took me way too long but now I am clear.
I will never again look to you to act in a normal caring fashion.
And all of this time I thought it was me!

Good grief, nothing like spotting your own stupid mistake three days later. Yes, I actually do know the difference between ‘ascribe’ and ‘subscribe.’

So I spend all this time and energy looking for just the right granite slabs and find out that I picked the pattern with typically the highest radiation. I may just go w/ quartz - this is getting very frustrating.
