Cellphone carrier: we switched to making our phones business lines to save some $ when you had a nice promotional deal. That does not mean I want monthly marketing calls from you. I am afraid to block your number lest you really do need to reach me, but I should have asked you today to take me off marketing calls. I don’t need an “account review”. And no I don’t want any more products or services.
So I know my parents are getting older and their memories are not quite what they used to be, but that does not mean that actual proof of all that is easy to deal with. Not sure I have what it takes to shift from caring for my teens to caring for my parents.
Flight finally landed at 3:30 AM.
The earlier flight from Orlando was cancelled, and they had a new plane and a new crew and it still got delayed another 2 hours after that! How much rain fell?
I’m sure you are a lot nicer in person than you are online. You are, aren’t you?
I would just like some support and understanding. Having major clinical depression for 16+ years I’ve finally hit the point where I need to take a leave from work and pursue a different course of treatment. I am not “being lazy”. I don’t know what will happen. I’m trying my absolute best. Ive gotten very good at faking being well. I can’t do it anymore.
I’m dreading this conversation.
No, calling your minimum wage employees at night to tell them what a terrible job they are doing and how unhappy other coworkers are with their performance is NOT good leadership. In fact, it’s a wonder why goals are not being met and people are leaving faster than you can hire new ones…
I simply cannot imagine the pain of losing 9 people in your family at one time, and including your husband and three children. Incomprehensible. I wish I could hug her.
OMG, I got scammed back in February. Called what I thought was QuickBooks Pro Support, but must have clicked on a scammer’s site. Argh. I lost $530 - I thought I was renewing the payroll subscription service. I can’t believe this. 
I’m contacting my credit card company to see if they can help, but that was quite a few months ago.
I found out when I just tried to update my CC info in QuickBooks and a different name than mine came up as the contact person!
UPDATE: CapitalOne is giving me a credit of $530. They will investigate my claim, of course, but I know it will turn out OK. Whoo hoo! What a relief.
My niece is a pediatric emergency room nurse. In a level 1 trauma hospital. Two year onboarding program post certification and college. Deals with death and injury to so many children. Many of them through neglect and abuse. It’s a wonderful calling and thank god we have such people in the world.
Now she is on strike with her coworkers. 20 dollars an hour less for the same position for nurses in Boston which is 60 miles away. And this hospital is a regional trauma center. Forced overtime cut retirement benefits and health care.
At 22 and already wondering if this was a real bad field to choose. What a shame.
Jeez, you must be so petty to bring up our conversation(which didn’t end well because YOU didn’t want it even though I agreed to pay) in a public page. And you call yourself a criminal justice major?
OMG parents! How can it be that your phones NEVER work!? You don’t read emails, you don’t text, and now there’s no way to leave you a voice message? How did I become the one saying you never call, you never write…isn’t it supposed to be the other way around?
I love you both fiercely and I always will, but when you are away, it means I don’t have to deal with your dickhead father. So I LOVE my time alone while at the same time I miss you and am crazy about both of you. And that’s okay, because life is messy.
Neighbor, don’t let your dogs outside alone even with your electronic fence, until you know the dogs won’t leave your yard. Because it was very uncomfortable for me and my big, barky dog to be followed this morning by one of your dogs, especially because my big barky dog and your dog could probably bite big chunks out of each other if they chose to do so.
To my two sisters-in-law. I love you both AND your sons who are struggling to launch, but they are 32 and 36 years old. Don’t you realize that you are each enabling your sons and not doing them any favors in the long run? Your husbands are showing tough love, and yet you undermine their efforts. (Whew, that felt good.)
“The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it.” so the saying goes.
No, the truth does not change. It simply is. Those coaches were and are mentally and physically abusive. That’s the truth. The ability to stomach it, however, is different for everyone and does change. That simply is as well. Learning to be less judgmental towards those who work through the process towards the truth more slowly than I.
My D is just so talented… at picking up viruses while traveling. Now here, sleeping late, with a very sore throat. Very odd to come down with that in July, but here it is, and it’s so hard to see her suffering.
And she’s here to relax between jobs which means she probably doesn’t have insurance coverage. :-S
I hope you get some answers today from the Dr. I know I’m not always the most patient listener. I just feel like there is more to life. I want to enjoy being with you and not have it always be about your health. I know you have some serious health issues but I do wish you were willing to look into ways that could help you feel better. I also know I am one of the few people in your life who you can depend upon. I’m not looking forward to your mobility lessening.
Why are you unable to form a simple plan to get to your train on time? Again and again - never learning from your mistakes. I am so tired of this.
The advantages of working out indoors in the hot summer are counterbalanced by the selfish clowns who sit on a machine, not using it, rather are typing on their phone for almost 5 minutes (yes I timed it) and when you finally look up so I can ask if you are finished, you say NO! What a colossal jerk.
I think I’ve read everything. I don’t know if there’s anymore.
