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

Thank you, thank you, to the wonderful carpenter who is one of those thorough perfectionists who gets everything right but still charges a reasonable rate. So happy with your work here!

At last I feel like we may be getting somewhere, getting to the bottom of this.

I am SO tempted to add your posts to the “What are the most annoying threads on CC?” thread but everyone including you would know exactly who I was talking about.

poo, poo, poo.

I was walking around frat row at a friend’s school in broad daylight a few days ago and randomly got called a slave ******. With all the hate crimes going around lately I just kept my head down and kept walking. I don’t know if I should have done something, or said something, but I was too scared.

Please let this situation resolve itself in the best way possible. I’m scared for my friends.

To the world in general: If you do not have a child with schizophrenia, thank your lucky stars. Today my son told his doctor, “I feel like I’m losing pieces of myself.” :frowning: The “good news” is that he understands he’s ill and readily agreed to an increase in his meds. He just said to me, “I think I will be OK until the meds take effect, but I’ll let you know if I’m not.”

Well, now I feel downright petty complaining about this –

Thank goodness I’m retired and don’t have anywhere to go or anything to do that can’t be postponed. This morning I was greeted by a flat tire, and that took three hours to get taken care of.

MODERATOR’S NOTE: Taking advantage of my position to say that whether the subject is petty or serious, that’s what this thread is for! It has helped me a lot to share here, since I have to be careful on Facebook.

I hate the boomerang videos on Instagram. They are so annoying and can’t be paused. About ready to stop following people.

Just one more step and BFF can take a (much needed and deserved) breather and start to relax and enjoy life! So, come on karma, universe, prayers and good thoughts, please please work your magic!!

Update: Son doing much better today. So relieved! Thank God for his amazing doctor, who listens carefully and really cares about him. And he’s not close to retirement age!!

I hope I get the job :slight_smile:

I wish you would go back to therapy and start taking your meds again. It is so hard to watch this.

I am in the same boat - I hope to get the job!

I know I have to do something productive other than studying, but I don’t know what to do when my circumstances limits everythign I want to do and can’t do a thing to change it.

As much as I like to pretend to myself that I don’t worry about my annual mamo, I’m SO very glad I got the all clear a few minutes ago!! I had a mastectomy 9 years ago, and have been clear since then. But this particular exam always brings a bit more anxiety than I like to admit.

Get it together man…your wife is awesome and you don’t need another divorce. Think about your kids…she is an awesome stepmother and you won’t find a better woman than what you have

I had a teenager who does not live in my small, fairly isolated neighborhood come to my door and try to sell me some kind of nondenominational Christian literature today. When I declined, she asked for a cash or credit card donation to some “educational” organization I had never heard of. I explained that I don’t give my credit card to people I don’t know who come knocking on my door, nor do I give cash to organizations with which I am not familiar. She replied that I could try to donate to the organization if I could find its website (she couldn’t direct me to it), but that my money would never get to her if I didn’t give my card numbers or my cash directly to her. That’s what I’m counting on, chickie.

You are trying to sell a diamond ring on the neighborhood bulletin board. You wrote $7000 cash only willing to meet at the police station for the transaction. Do you expect someone to come in with a suitcase of cash? Really? Sounds very strange to me.
