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

Goodness, it’s nice to be busy again. And have clients who pay on time!

You are like a dolphin; you always ASK for some form of explicit appreciation every time you do something for me-which I really do appreciate-and it wears me out.

Do I win something? My local drug store has Christmas decorations for sale. Many Halloween and Thanksgiving items are at sale prices.

Thanks, mom, for the comment “I’m glad you figured out what you want to do…now that you’re almost 50.” Ouch!

Just found out one of D’s friends from college died in a car accident caused by someone else. Last semester, one of S1’s friends died in a car accident caused by someone else.

Folks, if you are driving a behemoth vehicle and see it as safety for you while you text and pass unsafely, you will be killing the person you hit.

Wow. Just wow. Why would the state of Maine consider ending the requirement for continuing education requirements for engineers? Several engineers met with the Professional Engineers Board today. The Board was just deaf to our arguments that CE is vital for engineers. So discouraging. :frowning:

I still do not understand how you made that decision. It really does not make sense.
Now you just keep minimizing it and the repercussions that others will feel.
Saying that you “feel” guilty does not take care of anyone.
Grow up. Please.

We are all going to be together at Thanksgiving for the first time in five years! Nothing like almost dying in a hail of bullets to motivate people!

I know I’m being a pian in the butt, and you’re being very gracious, but I am spending a lot of money and “we” have already made one huge mistake, so thanks for being patient.

H you were suppose to be off, but you had to go into the office for a few minutes. And backed into son’s car! It’s not bad but still, ugh!

And Saturday? Please not an all day rain! We never get an all day rain. It’s their wedding day.

Everything is going to go smoothly from here, right?

So why didn’t you show for dinner? You’re a new acquaintance, but maybe not headed for ‘good friend’ status. I’m less annoyed that I waited than that, when you do realize, I need to say something forgiving.

New definition of passive/aggressive behavior: When your dog chews thru the strap holding a luggage tag on your packed suitcase.

New benefit plan, Really?!? Really?!? Pound head against wall!

Offering thoughts and prayers is not “pious garbage.” It’s called humanity. In times of need we come together and help and support each other in every way we can. If you can’t wish someone well or support someone in their time of need at least stop the bickering because no one cares for your selfish attitude. Please just get off your pedestal.

Okay, I get it. I see what you are saying.

Friends don’t do what you are doing. We aren’t where we used to be. Think we’ll both be better off accepting it and moving on.

Assert your own ideas, and stop tearing down mine. In other words, get a life.

I am clear and certain about my next actions. It is not without deep feelings but I also know
wha I know.

Why do I feel like I’m the enemy here? From both of you? I can’t do anything right right now. We are all raw so it would be great if we treated each other with more compassion.

I need to be “off-duty” from everything for a week.
