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

I’m having a lot of trouble balancing sympathy and pep talks. Give me a break and do at least a few of the things I recommend!

I am so sick and tired of being sick. 10+ days of blowing yellow stuff out the nose, coughing up green stuff, congestion, headache, exhaustion, achiness, and to top it all off, pink eye!

At least my torso muscles have gotten so used to coughing that it is no longer extremely painful to do so. I’m now in good coughing shape, it would appear. Only now that my cough is less productive, I go into paroxysms, especially at night, that leave me gagging .

I’m horrified to think about what people with chronic respiratory diseases go through.

Sears- you have absolutely the most frustrating website.
Mortgage broker- how many times do you need more paperwork. I hope this is the last time and you finally got it right. It is already 10 days past the original closing date and they now will have to juggle school, work and moving out of and cleaning the apartment during the work week. Thus I’m having to reschedule a delivery from Sears for the 3rd time. I hope their realtor stops recommending your company.

I am so done with owning a single family house with a yard. I am more than ready to downsize into a condo. But it’s going to be a few years…

For the first time in my life, I contacted my representative in congress.

That’s funny … I could have sworn it was Friday the 13th, but the calendar says Friday, March 24.

Groovy. Seriously, the perfect end to a (jacked)-up week.

Charities! How hard is it to say, “No goods or services were provided in exchange for your contribution of $Y on Date1,” or “Goods and services valued at $X were provided in exchange for your contribution of $Y on Date1”?

If your receipts don’t have the right words, your donors get zero tax deduction. Long running commentary that does not include the language above is not necessarily the right words. “If goods or services were exchanged for this donation, please check with your tax advisor for deduction amounts” sure as heck isn’t the right words. I don’t know if you gave my guy anything of value. A year later, neither does he. Only you know that for sure, and only you know the value you assigned to it.

I keep a mental list of charities that will never get any of my money, because they can’t be bothered to write receipts guaranteed to substantiate a tax deduction.

My god, does everything you say have to be unpleasant? You asked, we told you, and yet you still do it, every time.

Dude.
do NOT take phone calls from future employers while you are drinking. Just Call Them Back. I’m serious here.

They’re going to make him an offer. They’re going to make him an offer!!! THEY’RE GOING TO MAKE HIM AN OFFER!!!

I told you that you need to keep my name anonymous and if I get ANY calls or contacts from you or your org, I will not give another cent to your charity. You have had your people calling me daily, hounding me for more money. I will never give another cent to your organization, as you are unable and unwilling to keep your word.

Dominoes, I hate your pizza but you knocked it out of the park with the Ferris Bueller commercials - well done too! :))

Our little cockatiel, Petey, passed away tonight. He was 16. We had the privilege of taking care of him the last year of his life. I’m sad, but I know we gave him a good home. And he died before we left on our trip tomorrow, which was a blessing. I’m glad the boy taking care of our house didn’t have to find him.

One very small order from your website generated 3 unwanted marketing emails in less than 24 hours. Have unsubscribed and will not buy from you again. Why do companies think people wish to get barraged with marketing emails. They dont. If someone wants to be on your email blast list, let that be their choice.

They put you in the games. Both times you proved your worth. We are so proud of you. Everything has been solely earned on your merits. Nothing given. You’ve definitely taught me a thing or two about patience. The sweetest reward is seeing your confidence.

I paid off the mortgage on the cabin- 4 years after we bought it! So happy!!!

This is not going well

I want to scream: Leggings are not pants!!! And I hate to say, I really do because I’m a big lady myself, and I hate people to feel I am putting them down, but my oh my, heavier people especially should wear tunics over them.
