I am so mad. I need to vent out my frustrations.
My DD and family just arrived for Thanksgiving. I have the week off. I've looked forward to this visit for weeks since they moved so far away from us.
And...............I'm sick. Sinus congestion/pressure, lost my voice today, sore throat and very little energy. Grrrrrrrrr
It hit me fast last night. Makes me so mad. Oh I will press on but I feel like shit. And who wants to take this crud home with them? No one I know.
Vent over.

Emergen-C or take lots and lots of C. It really helps my cold dissipate quickly. If it's completely sinus-related, do the neti-pot. Disgusting, but it works.

I put cotton in my ears when I go to sleep when I don't feel good. I doubt it does anything, but that is what my mom did, so that is what I do.

My vent is about my mother. She is the most selfish, narcissistic, self centered person on the whole freaking planet!
She has decided that she is tired of working, just can't tolerate it anymore. So she has figured out a way to receive disability benefits to pay her while she tries to get a craft business off the ground. She is currently at a craft show, and needed to use my van to get her stuff there. She didn't ASK, she just told me. So, I told her I needed her car. I held my keys ransom for hers, otherwise she'd "forget" and I'd be screwed. Now she is mad with me.

I'm so sorry! That sucks! I hope you're feeling better really soon.
My vent - my internet company just "updated" their web email service that I've had forever. And it is AWFUL! It's like the first roll out of AOL mail bad. No ability to sort, emails don't load in chronological order and they don't all load until you've deleted some (yes...that's right! They have 25 emails per page and if I delete 5 emails from page 1 you would think that 5 emails from page 2 would move over to page 1, but NO. 5 NEW and different emails load. ARGH). They have set the emails to load in 25 email pages. Including the trash file. Which has no option to delete all. You have to delete it page by page or wait 3 days for them to empty it. Ditto the spam file. The font and spacing are so big (and NOT adjustable) that it only shows 10 emails on my 24" iMac screen. If I want to drag an email to a folder that is not currently showing on the screen (because you can only see a 10 folders), I have to scroll down so that the folder is in view FIRST because it won't scroll while I try to move the message. There is no reading pane or preview pane to read emails. I have to read them one at a time by clicking on the email and waiting for it to load the screen. Then, when I delete or file that email, the view reverts back to the email list and I have to click on the next message to read it - it will not automatically load the next email. To delete a list of emails requires that I press the delete key - usually 2x to get it to "stick" - and then confirm the deletion. All of these actions are done in SLOW MOTION! I will not event attempt to explain how f'd up the printing feature is. It is painful to use and has been irritating me for the 10 days I've had it. I have a huge backlog of emails to go through because it's so damn slow that I can't spend all day doing it. I need to move to a new email provider and I don't want to. WAHHHHHHH. First world problem I know, but it is seriously driving me nuts.
Thank you for letting me get that out! And DH thanks you too because he's tired of hearing me growl in frustration.

Venting on a mb is good for the soul. Can save marriages and friendships. LOL

I put cotton in my ears when I go to sleep when I don't feel good. I doubt it does anything, but that is what my mom did, so that is what I do. I do that, but I use a little sweet oil on the cotton. It helps!
