What irritates you?

Stopping by work only to find out they plan on giving my job to the guy covering for me so they only need to pay 1/2 my wage since he's only there part time.

I was going to go back real early to show my devotion to the mgmt company. Looks like longer disability now.

so what dose that mean for the clue man and his pimp pad on top of the Building????

WTF?

That was actually an issue too. The building boss found pictures from 4th of July with my family on the roof and didn't exactly like it. I didn't think it was that big of a deal since lots of us did it for years and even mentioned it to everyone that we were doing so. One of the bosses even showed up this past year without saying a thing.

Well WHAT THE HELL!!!!! Dude Thats Jacked if he is going to get ride of you I say go out Swinging!!! sell them ALL OUT!!! the HEll with it!!! What are you up to tonight??

Talking to you :smile:

you want us all to call and complain?

or even just me?

I can be pretty scary, if I need to....

who do you want me to call?

Not hearing from the prospective employer.

Not hearing from the realtors.

Realizing I have not been on a vacation, or even a long weekend get-away, for over five years.

Being lonely on a Friday evening.

you and me both Sexy eags!! We could go out when you get to town We could mke it a friday thing LOL!! GO out and hang out see a movie and or just go outand sit at like Olive garden and have a drink and hang out and talk!! I think we have a alot that we can talk about!!!!

Being lonely on a Friday evening.

ditto :sad:

Iceman, Mucluck, glad to see I'm not alone in feeling this way, but sucks that any of us are lonely.

That sucks big time. I'm really sorry you're being jacked like that.

Lonely Friday nights are no fun.

I'm sorry you haven't heard from anyone, Eags. All things will turn out the way they're supposed to turn out. It's the waiting to find what that is supposed to be sucks.

Well I got my mom hear But thats worse then being Lonly!! it a full time job!! and I wish I could get out and do SOMETHING ANYTHING!!! ANY ONE For some late night Caching lol!!!!

is that legal? I'd check it out.

sounds like a lame excuse to use against you.

I don't think he's using the roof thing against me. That was just to show that he knew I had people up there. But none of us thought we were being bad in the first place so I didn't see it as feeling 'busted'.

And they can do what they want since I'm a sub anyway. Which works great for me in this case since I still have a job this way. I'm looking at it real positive. I want to go somewhere sunny and by a large body of water real soon. :cool:

Life is a bit short and I need to look at the timing of this as being perfect to enjoy this life of mine. Positive thinking can change your whole outlook on shit like this. Even if you fake it enough it can help out your perspective on everything.

I want to go somewhere sunny and by a large body of water real soon.

Bwahhh!!!!! :sillygrin: :sillygrin: :grin:

Whatever works I guess :wink:

you know the beaches around here close on Labor day, right?

I want to go somewhere sunny and by a large body of water real soon.

Well I'm glad your seeing the positive side of things and releived that you still have a job. I wasn't sure if you did or not from the prior post.

I hope your sunny beach is not too far away if its a permanant thing, but if it's a temp thing, have fun!

BTW, you look good in a beard.

:sad: :sad:

Thanks for the reply, me2. It has been a tough weekend. I will be so glad when things are settled again in my life for awhile.

my shoulder :frown:

pinched nerve or something- hard to work today.

Ok I'm sure what I'm about to say is horrible or at least I feel like a horrible daughter today maybe I'm just irritable but my mom asks my opinion on EVERYTHING lately. It's sad but since my dad passed away last year she has been lost it seems like and I don't know what to do to help her. I didn't realize how much she depended on my dad to make decisions. So she decided she is getting a puppy a little Chihuahua. And she Imed me earlier and said

if I go thur at getting this puppy do you think it would be smart on my part to buy a book on how to train and take care of a puppy.........since I have never had a puppy

Is it wrong of me to smack my head and go duh...you'd better do something to learn how to train a puppy? She had an older already trained dog a year ago that was hit by a car and died and we had cats as I was growing up. So she is clueless about puppies.

no, you are not a bad daughter, you have a valid point.

however, she may think you're a crazy daughter if you smack your own head in front of her. :wink:

I did my good daughterly duty and sent her a bunch of Chihuahua sites to get her started before she makes her absolute decision. Made sure she got a breed specific info as well as puppy info.

I can relate to how your mom might be feeling about having to make every decision alone, day in and day out, for a long period of time. Even if she is asking your advice, she is well aware of how alone she is in making the actual decisions, and in the responsibility she will bear for those decisions.

The loneliness is cumulative and pretty devastating.

I'm sure it is a huge help to your mother to be able to bounce things off you like this.

I already know what it feels like to hear the resentment and annoyance in people's voices when I ask for what they feel may be "too much" help. Nevermind that I am the giver and helper 99% of the time - just let me ask for help once, and they start doing the "avoid the old lady" routine.

I'm not making this up, nor imagining it.

Does your mom have access to a grief support group? The social support one can find in such settings is amazing, cuz we all "get it".

If she's an online person, let me know, and I will send you a link for her to try.

I hope your mom can find her confidence again. It will help her so much if you can listen with compassion when she seems kind of needy.

Just my two cents worth from your mom's side of the fence. Widowhood sucks big time.

naw... you can still go to the beach - you just can't wear white. What's wrong with you?

I do support her and I think you did already send me a link that I did pass on to her. Like I said I help her out as much as I can and maybe today's just a bad day I've got a lot going on with my own schooling, the kids, my husband and his business trying to help him out and at times being the big person in my mom's life. Where she is she hasn't been able to find much int he way of groups for grieving spouses or grieving in general. The hospice has put together a group but it's only like an 8 week thing a couple times a year or something. Not an on going thing.She has severe persistant mental illness issues (depression and anxiety since 2000) as well as recently some physical disability as well and I've become the main person in my mom's life which we've always been close I've just never had to make some of the decisions and had to handle the issues I've had to handle in the past 6-7 months! I'm getting burnt out I think but it's not something you can just take a time out from. I really think a big part of my frustrations is she refuses to consider moving she is 2 1/2 hours away from me and expects me to do a lot of things long distance or drive up to do stuff for her (gas isn't cheap).

Ok I'm rambling at this point I'm sorry. Moral of the story I can't put into words all the stuff going on in her life and my life that has lead up to my irritation earlier. As I write this I'm actually crying because of the stress and frustration that I'm not a stronger person to be able to help her handle everything.

I'm sure you ARE doing everything you can to help her!

And it sounds like there is more going on than "just" being widowed.

Surely you do get to feel how you feel - I hope you don't think I don't get that side of it. I know my kids have their hands full with their own lives and problems.

And I do recall being in the middle of the "sandwich" when my parents were old and my kids were young - not an easy place to be.

You can only do what you can do. I just hope that you know how much it means to her that you are there for her. Or maybe she isn't that appreciative?

Well, I'm sorry you are so frustrated and stressed.

I'll just shut up and send you some hugs...(((((L and A Mommy))))).

Irritates: Kids that just don't get it :eyeroll: :coolfrown:

seriously what is that??

new mascot??? omg...looks like they found it in the back store room of Mora's high school and its hair is all matted.

is that supposed to be a bear?

or a lion?

or some weird cross between both of them?

a fox?

They intentionally made it ambiguous so it can represent any number of different "wild" animals.

http://wild.nhl.com/team/player_page_nordy.htm

according to an article in the star trib, also... the team wont say what kind of animal he's supposed to be... he's just a hybrid of a bunch of different wild animals...

pfft... whatever...

maybe they should have named the team something else, so they could have an easy pick for mascots....

didnt they have a list of team names to vote for? does anybody remember what some of the other names were?

I think it's supposed to be ambigious as to not offend, gophers, lions, foxes, bears or tigers -- oh my!

<knock knock knock> hey Kitch? are you in there?

<edit> I hit reply but it didn't show the reply stuff.

HUH???

it will not show images when you reply to a post, even i knew that

says you replied ...forwarded to this post...

but you can't have a "quote" when nothing to quote.

I put that on there so you knew what post I was refering to.

my original reply just had the knocking on the mascots head and asking if kitch was in there. I saw there was no reply so you would have no idea that I was refering to that picture, so I went back and edited my post to show your post #.

so are you in there or not?! :wink:

ok...umm..no not in the mascot's costume...

ummm....maybe its posen...

I bet he has an old gopher that looks just like this thing.

Not feeling well. My usually minor aches and pains are really pronounced today. Gonna take two Tylenol and go sleep awhile, but first I'm going to throw my blanket in the dryer to get nice and toasty warm...

blanket in dryer- great idea

my shoulder is still killing me today- had tylenol already

hope we both feel better
