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

Others expect me to feel bad and even guilty for not attending MIL’s memorial.
I feel neither. I do feel authentic and true to the promise I made to myself to not enter
into situations that make me anxious. I can live with not being understood just fine.

You have two more follow-ups to get past - one today and one in early August. Please, please let all go well.

Am I the only one who shows some common decency of explaining whether and why I will be late to work?

MODERATOR’S NOTE:
Reminder: This is a no-response thread.

Please let him get a job soon. I can’t take the verbal abuse and tantrums much longer. I know he’s scared and frustrated but he can only express it through rage.

Boy, yesterday was frustrating. Wasted an hour on the phone figuring out why an online pharmacy said it’s sending meds to S’s house but the staff says they didn’t get them. I think he got double charged about $20, but I’m thankful we caught the problem now. This could have gone on indefinitely if the doctor hadn’t noticed something odd. It makes me worry for all the seriously ill people who have no one to advocate for them. :frowning:

Dear woman from the Middle East sitting near me in the hotel lounge in London: the man explaining US politics to you has his own biases. I have mine too, but you would be better served by hearing from more than one person “mansplaining” to you.

Let me see if I have this straight: you are denying that a conversation you have quoted in a previous text never took place. The answer is probably not to deny the conversation, but perhaps to consider relevant treatment. Sobriety could be your friend.

Sorry for typo in 17607. It should read “you are denying that a conversation you quoted in a previous text ever took place”.

Every day I wish I could eat a whole cake and not gain weight. :smiley: :((

Putz, Putz, Putz, Putz…you are a blinking Putz.

Called daughter’s college yesterday only to find I was number 29 in queue. Then they get to me and said just wait a few days to see if the statement updates. Its off by $1,436 which is totally wrong. Said ok and logged on today 27 in queue so that can tell me to ignore it as they don’t know why that money is in her account as being owed. Frustrating, the cashier office better get it together.

You have occasionally put a foot wrong, but not very often. You showed your class once again today. I don’t know how you do it.

I’m starting to get really scared. This isn’t funny or amusing anymore.

We are supposed to be done with the reno on the time line YOU gave us and now you are telling us 6 more weeks. Fine, BUT no one shows up to do anything for a week and then only work 1/2 days this week. Now that 6 weeks looks like wishful thinking! I need my kitchen back!!!

Dear Son: Buy the safe® car, not the muscle car.

Looks like we won’t be getting any tomatoes this year. And on a related note, we seem to have a new pet deer!

Why are you using the app on your phone? Use the full version on the iPad. It’s easier and it will work, I know it will. I did the trial booking that way and I didn’t have a problem.
I’ve been trying to get you to book the car for over 2 weeks. Please, please listen to me and get it done.

I am all done going over & above. Your employees pitched in & took care of things because you allowed our supervisor to be completely incompetent. Now you are eliminating that position. Meantime, I had to roll over 4 weeks of vacation & lost 2 that I couldn’t roll over. Sorry, but I don’t have anything more to give you.

Why are you always irritated and negative? It makes you hard to live with.
