Tired of picking up after people! I have picked up after people all my life...and I don't want to do it any longer! When I was a teen, I was the one who did the majority of the housework. When I had my own home and had children in that home, it was a labor of love and I did it not only willingly, but gratefully because I had a home and a family. Now, not so much! DH spreads papers everywhere, who picks them up...me! DH puts anything and everything on the kitchen counters...even things that should go in recycling or the trash...who picks it up? Yeah ME & I am tired of it! Pick up your own crap Mister!
Thank God for these vent threads or I would never make it!

My Lhasa Apso passed away last Thursday. I am totally heartbroken. I am so SICK of people asking me when I am going to get another dog!!! I had him for 13 years...he was my constant companion...he was like one of my own children! He cannot be replaced!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I owe it to him, myself, and a new puppy to grieve for an appropriate amount of time. You know...at least a week ( I am being VERY sarcastic) {{{{ hugs }}}}

This morning I found out that my grandmother, my Nornie, my kids' Skinny Granny, has ovarian cancer. She is 85 and her health has been declining since 2011 when she was struck down by a case of Shingles. PSA: GET THE SHINGLES VACCINE WHEN YOU CAN!! She never recovered her strength and my poor mom has taken her to every dr imaginable looking for the cause of her continued problems. It is breaking my mom's heart to watch this vital woman just slip away, and there is nothing I can do to make things better. I am the FIXER in the family, and I can't fix this. My DD is going to be devastated if we lose her Skinny; they are very close. Marcy {{{{ Marcy }}}} I think the hardest part of losing my MIL in 2002 was having to tell my kids

Dear crappy HMO,
Thanks so much for sending me a letter to tell me I need to make an appointment within the next 10 days and kindly providing a phone number to call. Did you know that when someone calls that number and finally gets through the constant busy signals, they enter into a nightmare of entering numbers by phone touch pad? First, one must enter their medical record number, then Social Security number, date of birth & zip code only to be put on hold for 23 minutes & when finally a live person answers, they request all the same information which was previously & painfully punched in so that they give you an appointment 4 and 1/2 weeks away? I can hardly wait for open enrollment!

My husband's employer is a complete and total douchebag. He has not made the mortgage payment to the tune of $100,000.00. Sucks to be US, the bank has told him he needs to have $75,000 to regain refinancing. He has an investor interested, however he is asking $250,000.00 instead of the $75,000.00 to save the business. Building is going up for auction the 18th. This may force My husband to go into business for himself - I do not need this stress right now!!!!!!! I worked with a woman who worked for someone like this. They didn't pay employee taxes either

UGH.
I am nearing the end of my employment with my employer. I have wore out my voice talking on the phone all day at the job and there are no other positions that I can move into. 11 years of being a loyal employee--I get sick, lose my voice and now I am starting over. Likely making $10 less per hour. Stressing about my future---money/education/employment.
My husband is a cancer patient and it seems that chemo side effects are sticking around longer and longer. I am afraid of what may happen if I am not here. I am afraid what the kids may see. Afraid of how life will work when we no longer have him.
I am getting FAT again. I had lost so much weight and now I am drowning myself in food. I need to make an appointment for a physical for myself but have been putting it off hoping that I could lose a bit. All I want to do is sleep, not much energy to be had these days.
I need some fun, a break, a crystal ball....and a danish.

I hate to vent about my dad, but I'm going to. I sometimes wonder if he even thinks about my feelings or what I'm going through daily. Maybe it's a man vs. woman thing. Since my mom passed away I've been helping him slowly go through her things. He called me on the 4th and started blaming me for throwing away something valuable. First, he didn't even look around to see if he had misplaced what he was accusing me of throwing away. Second, he refuses to help me go through anything. He complains about how that just makes more work for him. The kicker, the 4th was 5 months since my husband passed away. I was already having a bad day and then he calls to basically yell at me. Does he not realize that I lost my husband, and my mom? I want to help him, but it's emotionally draining on a GOOD day. I'm so sorry you are going through this. ((((hugs)))

I've updated my resume for what seems like the 20th time, applied to several jobs today and updated it on the job websites. I logged onto my bank website today and felt really ill. If soemthing doesn't happen soon, I have no way of paying next months' bills. I'm trying to stay positive but a job sooner than later would help decrease my stress. Unemployment should kick in soon, but I'm hoping a job will kick in sooner. Things always have a way of working out, so I'm staying positive despite being really stressed.

I almost forgot - I bought new ink cartridges only to find out my HP photosmart hardware crashed and it wasn't accepting any ink cartridges. I can only take one of them back that wasn't opened and I have to replace the printer. GRRRR.... at least HP rep was very helpful after an hour of troubleshooting but I am out a printer for bit. Not sure what to do about.

She wants to turn her dd's various sports jerseys into a quilt to give dd before she goes to college. I said "That's a big one- very time consuming. I've never made one, I've only seen the finished product." She said "Yes- but I have faith in you!" I am not making this quilt. I can't even believe she asked. You call her right back today and say you've done some research and you will be HAPPY to make it for her but your cost will be $1000 to cover labour and it's not negotiable! She will also have to supply all the materials which, other than the jerseys, and depending on the fabric she chooses, will be another $100-$200. She will have to buy everything including the thread. I did that once and that person backed away real fast. I did that once--for a catering job I really did not want to do so I more than quadrupled my price! They accepted! Lol so I was stuck doing it anyway!

To my ex: Pay your freaking student loans. They are not going to go away despite it being 22 years past the end of your schooling. I am tired of getting phone calls every single day from Sallie Mae because I was naive enough to cosign on your consolidation when we were married. It is your debt incurred for your education and you agreed to pay them like a good boy in the divorce settlement. Time to man up. My response to the calls would be.. " the court has ruled this is no longer my debt, so take me off the phone call list or I will consider it harassment and report you"

I am exhausted beyond belief due to my work and every day is a struggle to go in. My own boss -- who is the best boss I ever had -- has actually encouraged everyone in our department to leave, it's so bad. I had a dream last night that my coworkers and I went on a boat and one of them pushed me off and I drowned to death. If that wasn't a sign that I need to GTFO, I don't know what is.
I wish I could find a job at my skill/experience level! I am very tired of hearing that I am overqualified for every job I apply for. And while I appreciate my dh's help in looking for new jobs, I wish he'd stop sending me info and pressuring me to apply for jobs under my experience level, just because they are in my field. I keep getting interviews only to be rejected for being overqualified. It's not helping my stress level to keep applying and interviewing and being rejected for being overqualified.

DH and DS came home sick from vacation and I've been cleaning up vomit and diarrhea for more than a week while being 'back at work' and playing catch up. I can't take anymore sleepless nights. The kicker? Had to take DH to the ER for a CT scan due to the sinus infection and they found an aneurysm. Now we need to find a neurologist.

I recently started watching Suze Orman and she talks a lot about people getting hooked in with a spouses student loan debt. Can you get any relief through the court if he doesn't pay?

Dear cousin I hate that you took your dad and dumped him in a nursing home and walked away. You stole his money, you stole his personal belongings from his home, you stole his vehicle and worst of all you broke his heart. He does not know what he did to make you walk away. He did everything for you, he paid your rent, he bought your groceries and helped you out for 30 years. And when I helped him by changing his bank account you blocked me on Facebook. We had to change it, you were spending his pension that should have been paying his rent on getting your nails done, buying groceries, paying your bills and leaving him destitute. I hope you feel guilty every moment of everyday for what you did to him.

Seriously. Change your freaking email address. I had mine for years before you decided to be "creative" and pick an email address with one less letter. Uh, that would be because I already had the freaking email address and no one spells the word "down" as "dwn". I don't care about your kids soccer, floor plans for houses you're looking to buy or the latest, your kids' high school schedule. Seriously since I stopped forwarding them to you at least 4 years ago you think you'd have changed it by now.

(((Hugs))) I am so sorry you don't have support in making such a huge decision. I don't have a pain pump, but I do have a Medtronic neural stimulator--the leads are fused to my spine right where the nerves to my bladder connect. I can control the frequency and strength of the shocks--the shocks interrupt the pain signals and confuses the brain's response by overloading the area with stimuli. Instead of responding by causing horrible muscle spasms and pain, the brain is so overloaded it ignores the stimuli and tells the rest of the brain that there is no problem anymore. **You have to still go to your doctor for regular check ups since you can't feel if something is wrong. So many people didn't do that.** I was one of the first to get this implant. I was on a support board as well. We had a lot of new posters wanting info on the implants. Most of the people on the board were happy to help--until people came back and accused us of lying and being sadistic by "pushing" this trial on others when it didn't work for them. The implant is a *trial* and is experimental. The advocacy group that ran the support board told us that we could no longer talk about the implants--if we did, we'd get banned. I didn't think that was right, and I left the board. People were cliquish, which made me so sad since we were all suffering. My dh also has a spinal stimulator that is different than mine. He needed revisions for his to work correctly. The placement of nerves and blood vessels are so unique to each person that placing the implant parts in the right place is very difficult. The reps for the implant companies make the whole process sound easy. So if the placement isn't perfect the first time, the patient feels like a failure and gives up. The key is to be honest about whether you're getting relief and how much relief you're receiving. I assume that you have a great pain control specialist. A good one won't object to you getting a second opinion. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. While I don't have the disease you have, I do have chronic pain and know what it's like to be in pain all the time and feel so alone because nobody understands. But you don't LOOK sick
Pascoe-- You should get your hair professionally coloured at least the first time. White hair takes colour differently than other hair colours. My stroke caused a patch of hair that has no pigment. Every where I went, people would comment and try to pick out that area, thinking it was paint or debris. I made the mistake of colouring my hair with an at home kit. I looked like a leopard. I know colouring is expensive, but the right maintenance with colour protecting hair care products can prolong the time in between colourings. I also save money by getting highlights/lowlights instead of single process. When they start growing out and lose their colour, I use a coloured gloss home kit. It just adds more pigment all over without ammonia or bleach. Peaperfect--I am so sorry you're having to deal with so much. I think you should be honest with your dad--tell him how difficult a time you're going through. Sues-- You're going to have to be blunt with this woman. She'll bitch about you and spread lies, but people already know what she's like. They may not call her on her behaviour and be polite to her face or even do what she insists because she intimidates them or they want to be part of her clique (some women never leave high school). Deep down, they know what she really is and don't like her. You don't seem like the kind of woman who is intimidated by bullies like this group. Hopefully by saying "no" this woman will just ignore you and not talk to you anymore. My SIL is like this woman. She would assume that I would do all this stuff for her since I didn't work and "had plenty of time on my hands". She told everyone in our church that I was faking being sick. She even got her husband, dh's brother, to kick us out of the youth group. We did so much for them. Dh's brother never contacts us unless he wants something computer related. No calls when dh was on short term disability for his epilepsy or when I had such a serious case of acute pancreatitis that my doctors thought I was going to die. Dh and I have just been civil for MIL's sake. We just ignore them and carry on. BIL/SIL are stunned that their church isn't doing well and have no clue what happened. Who wants to be part of a church where the pastor's wife trash talks their own family? SIL was very upset that I had such a good relationship with the kids and women in the church. SIL has always made everything a competition. I don't play those games. Now SIL doesn't talk to me at all. I'm ok with that. She got all upset at Christmas because I didn't help her make dinner for an event I was too sick to attend and couldn't have eaten anyway--I was so sick I didn't even enjoy Christmas dinner. All I could eat were my Ensure shakes. BIL was doing absolutely nothing, but SIL expected dh and I to be at her beck and call. Sues, I think this woman is intimidated by you and frustrated that you don't play her games. The quilt isn't about a keepsake for her daughter, it's a way to control you. These women will have an excuse to talk to you often, an "in" to get up in your business, and a way to torment you by changing the quilt design, not liking what you did, etc. I admire you for standing up and saying no. This situation may seem unimportant to you, but your courage will inspire others to say no to her as well.
