mikklynn , dental pain is awful. Luckily, the mouth is the fastest healing part of your body. Hoping you'll be comfy quickly. Conversely, I think the shin must be one of the slowest healing parts. 2 months and the minor wound I have is almost - almost - healed, but on Friday (all being well) it will be being opened up again but this time instead of a 1/2” incision it will be a 3-4” incision. God only knows how long that will take to heal. I’m glad it’s getting sorted but a) nervous about the anaesthetic and b) worried about the healing time Oh ouch jennyap! How did the MRI go? What did they find? What are they doing? SaveSave |

What did they find? What are they doing? SaveSaveBless you for asking! The MRI was fine (my appointment was a Sunday, hospital was super quiet, when I arrived I was the only patient in the whole imaging ward!), they were mainly checking for bone infection. No evidence of any, which is a good thing. The issue, which we already knew, is something called a seroma - basically a pocket filled with fluid. Complication from a years-old injury. Dermatologist I saw initially did me no favours by cutting into it (for biopsy, before we realised what it was) apparently, just exacerbated the issue. To fix it they have to drain the remaining fluid, cut out any internal scar tissue, and debride the internal surfaces of the affected tissues so they heal together without leaving space for fluid to build up again. Not much fun but really very minor in the scheme of things. Have you you had your results yet? |

Let's hope it heals a lot quicker this time. Keep me posted? My results were complicated and interesting. No cancer markers, thank goodness! But they found 4 issues on top of the one they were looking for, 2 of which explain issues from the past 13 years. 3 of them are nothing to worry about, the other 2 are watch-and-wait. If the pain continues, then there is a potential for removal of ovary, but the cyst has shrunk and the pain is improving all the time, although it has its moments when I wish they'd just take the damn thing out. I still have blood test results to come, but the gynae's father has passed away so I've had 2 appointments cancelled. Can't get cross under the circumstances, can I? Thank you for asking.  SaveSave |

It's after hours. And my phone is not a work phone. So you txting me asking for a password that you set up and me not responding right away is acceptable. You sending me a nasty message about me not responding while on my own time doesn't really make it better.
Also you stating I gave you wrong password when I just told u I was able to log into it doesn't I don't even know.
I don't need to explain to you why I didn't respond. Yeah I lied in my reasoning. But you don't know that and I shouldn't have to explain. Again. I stopped getting paid at 4. You don't own me

My DS’s MIL called me to complain about my DS. She insisted that I need to speak with him. She feels he owes her an apology and he feels that he doesn’t. Quite frankly I agree with him. I’m not going to get in the middle of the mess. It’s not my business but I’ll tell you one thing that won’t sway me to your side, when you tell me how disappointed you are that your DD married someone like my DS. I but my tongue because I DO NOT want to make the situation worse but the things I wanted to say, oh boy, the things I wanted to say.

All the lines of volunteering: I make cupcakes for bake sales , and cupcakes/cake for birthday parties for the group my daughter was involved in. I have been doing this for free almost ten years. I laugh that I have been with this group longer than my daughter. But this year? I have just had it with them, after a new girl sent me a text, meg, remember to bring the cupcakes today. I think the problem only one girl knows me in the group and to the rest, I am just the crazy lady that shows up with cake. I was going to do this for one more year, but I feel ready to be done with them. But then I will feel guilty because they will nearly a grand if I quit. The big problem is none of the other mothers/ dads are going to step in to take over. I'm worried this is going to become me. We have an overzealous mom in my daughter's grade, she is very nice and very civically minded. But she is a bit much. First, she tried to get our girl scout troop (which her daughter is in) to run a bake sale to raise money for a cause she is passionate about, then it became that the parents would sell girl scout cookies (while the girls were in school) to raise money for it. Once we squashed the girl scouts doing it - totally not related to girl scouts stuff. She then sent out an email to all the parents in the grade trying to get a bake sale organized to raise money for it. There has been very little if any response to her email. So I get a text today asking if 10 1st grade girls can come bake at my house next Tuesday after school. I'm 35 weeks pregnant and I have 3 kids already. But of course, she talked to my daughter about it first and got her all excited and it is close to her birthday. So I said okay...but I need more details. I need to know that other parents will be there and I am going to need help, I can't do it by myself. Wishing I had given her a big fat no when she first mentioned it a couple months ago. |

I am not 5, I do this because I want to , not because I have to, I do not reminder texts. |

My grumble today is about Weight Watchers. I joined WW (Online only) a month ago. I have a lot of weight to lose and I’m struggling. I joined several WW Facebook groups to learn, get tips & tricks and for inspiration and recipes. Instead, I find myself being irratated, majorly annoyed and discouraged. . My FB feed is full of success stories of women who are losing 6-7 lbs A WEEK! I know this is not a competition, but geeze. I’m a sloooooow loser and lose less than a lb a week. When people ask how they lost that much each week they just say they are “following the program!” Ugh. The final straw was this morning when a member posted that she lost 17 lbs the first week. How depressing. I lost 1/2 lb. Big Whoop. I’m currently in the process of making sure all WW groups no longer show up in my feed. I don’t need to read those posts all day, everyday. Rant over. I can understand your frustration. I also joined WW about three weeks ago I have lost about 8 lb. I was on another diet four years ago and lost 50 lb. in 4 months; it was hard and there was almost no food choice but I did it. I was so mad at myself for the weight coming back last year. I had a lot of drama and stress with an elderly parent and then dealing with aftermath when they passed. I was advised not to go back on old diet because of kidney and liver issues that the protein diet can exacerbate, so back to WW. A trick I learned that may help you visualize is grab two sticks of butter (1/2 lb) and stand in front of a mirror and hold it up to different parts of your body and ask where you’d want it back. My rant... my work is going through a “transformation” and no one’s job is safe. They’ve dragged it out. Why not just effing do it and then tell us after the fact than stringing is along for six months, scheduling meetings where we think we’re going to get info and then tell us nothing...again. oh and this agile train crap? Get an effing grip. Makes things so much more difficult, and then dude who is USELESS yet is on team over mine that is supposedly affirming the tech solution I’ve given, tells me today after six months “why do you keep sending these to us to review? Only Jane (out of 8 people on team) has tech knowledge.” Yeah, asshole, my team has been asking that same question for six months. And then he has the nerve to tell me he wasn’t part of putting this in place. I was there when it all went down, Gomer. You were part of it from day one. |

I think maybe you are going to see your doctor on Friday who is going to put you on best rest until Wednesday.  My rant is just that HEY! The roads are still snowy and sloppy. It's dark, so I can't tell if that's pavement or ice and so I am keeping a safe stopping distance between me and the car in front of me. So STOP TAILGATING ME. Also, the speed limit on this road is only 25mph to begin with, which is what I'm doing, so SLOW DOWN while you're at it. |

OMG I need to rant and scream so bad, but I cant. This situation is so beyond messed up. Struggling to keep it all together on top of years of keeping it all together. Was just seeing an end in sight and daring to hope and plan and WHAM completely blindsided. Terrified of what tomorrow may bring.

My rant is to myself.... What is wrong with you?  ? You should be happy but you are not, you should be excited but you are not, you should be smiling but instead all you do is cry. Your friends and family are very confused. For once in the last 10 years BE HAPPY DAMNIT!!! I missed the "to myself" part the first time I read this. I was actually very mad and had to bite my tongue because I was thinking to myself that the person they were describing was showing classic symptoms of depression and to please show a little compassion. But I didn't because it's a vent thread and people are allowed to vent. Please, please be gentle with yourself. This is common, and it isn't your fault. If at all possible, I highly recommend seeking professional help. You're worth it. If your ever need to talk, please PM me. I've been there, I'm still there off and on and I totally understand how you feel. (((Hugs))) |

We also live in the bomb squad training center of the US and today seems to be THE day for a whole lotta training exercises. Super. To top it off....the facility is several miles away but I live at the base of the mountain so allll that noise just bounces off. I'm glad I don't work tonight but I did work last night and I'm pooped. Is *that* what all that booming was? All damn day. And I think it's causing the cracks around my door frames. |

Oh mother of god why do I have to constantly repeat myself? I know we are FB friends - our kids went to school together. And you have been a good customer. But for the love of all that is holy - STOP sending me cake questions through personal FB messenger!!! I've told you several times I need things emailed to the business or I miss things. I don't check my FB for orders. Even my business FB says with an auto response to email me so I don't miss your questions/orders. GAHHHHH! ETA -and I did answer you in FB messenger that I was away on vacation until March 2nd - so when you email me after all this and request a cupcake bouquet for March 3rd? When the hell did you think I was making it?? My freaking flight doesn't land until late in the day on the 2nd. And I'm sorry, I like you, but I'm not staying up all night for a $50 order for you! |

I've been going back to college for the last year. I'm doing online. Some of the work involves posting on a message board. "Oh wow!" I think. "I've got this!"--seeing as I have spent my life here and on the other 2peas. No. The format is so wonky. I don't know what's going on. Finally figured it out and they changed the format. This one is a bigger mess. Ok, I'm getting the hang of it. Now the thing is, people's writing is so horrible, I can't understand what their point is. And I'm supposed to interact and ask questions. Once I didn't understand and asked politely: I said, " I'm sorry. I may be misunderstanding the question, but I took it to mean xyz. Could you clarify please?" and I got all kinds of attitude that I was not helpful to my fellow students. IT'S AUTHOR NOT ARTHUR!!! I'm dying. First of all, bless your heart for going back to school in the digital age. I got my master's in 2016 and so much was online and it was like having to learn the material AND how to navigate the message boards, and all of the online crap. It was a mess! Everyone complained. Like, why were the quizes in the FILES section and not in the TEST section? And when I was a GTA during that time, I was shocked at how poorly some of my students wrote and expected me to just overlook everything. If you cannot spell "a lot" by the time you are a senior in college, I cannot overlook that. My husband is taking online classes too and we are both struggling to navigate his course. He also has a message board and the writing is so awful, you can hardly understand what the writer is intending to say. Good luck with school and getting through all of this!!! SaveSaveOh, I totally hear you on the why things aren't in the place you think they should be online! I've noticed thar it tends to be the profs who are only part -time and only teach 1 class a semester who put things all in one folder. The full -time profs actually do it right, at least in my program. I think the others just don't want to be bothered to learn how to do it right (and I had one last semester who won't even use Canvas - and we had a group project where we had to share info with other groups and it would have been super useful!). |

My results were complicated and interesting. No cancer markers, thank goodness! But they found 4 issues on top of the one they were looking for, 2 of which explain issues from the past 13 years. 3 of them are nothing to worry about, the other 2 are watch-and-wait. If the pain continues, then there is a potential for removal of ovary, but the cyst has shrunk and the pain is improving all the time, although it has its moments when I wish they'd just take the damn thing out. I still have blood test results to come, but the gynae's father has passed away so I've had 2 appointments cancelled. Can't get cross under the circumstances, can I? Thank you for asking. SaveSaveGosh, complicated and interesting is right! It sounds like good news on balance, but that doesn't help much when you're still in pain. As you say, hard to get too upset about the cancellations given the reason, but frustrating for you all the same! |

I went to volunteer at an event t my kids' school which was split into 40-minute shifts. I was there most of the day (multiple shifts). Person shows up for one shift and proceeds to talk to the other volunteer for 35 minutes about...her self-defense class.
Then in the last five minutes I asked "SO do you want to do some work now?" and she grabbed the bottle of hand sanitizer which was for the parent volunteers serving food (if they can't walk out into the hall to use the sink) and started telling kids lined up for snacks to use it. I said she didn't have to do that, and I don't think the school allows kids to use hand sanitizer anymore, and I got the "well it's flu season" and she continued to dole it out anyway. Grrr.
We had to specially cut up fruit for one kid because it was in the same container as the bananas. I hope no one in 1st grade is allergic to something in hand sanitizer...

I went to workout this morning and when I came out of class my coat was gone! Someone else mistakenly took mine. My coat is dark purple and zips up and the one they left behind is navy and buttons close. I had to take their coat because it’s cold outside and the studio texted everyone in class, Turns out a guy took it! I get you’re exhausted after class but how does a man take a purple coat???he said he would return it (at his convenience/leisure) later this evening. Now I have to pay $20+ to get it dry cleaned because I see a lot of people put their coats on directly on top of their sweaty bodies. I always add 2 layers of clothes inbetween. But I’m worried the dry cleaners will only clean the outside of it???

It's worse when I squash it - the car seat belt hurts, and leaning forward for longer than just to reach for something hurts. And once I squash it, the pain doesn't go off for an hour or so. I'm learning! When are you having the procedure to fix your shin? SaveSave |

I am sorry you have to pay for dry cleaning, but after it is done you will be fine, with a properly clean coat, inside and out. The whole garment goes in a machine which looks like a huge wet water washing machine, but with "dry" chemicals which clean and sanitize it. Then it gets ironed and finished. Dry cleaning does not mean just sponging/ whatever the outside of the coat. Good luck! |

Oh dear god where to start...first, “I love” your use of quotations, totally made the story funny! Second, blech to the sales pitch. And then, yuck to product sucking so bad!
My vent, tomorrow we leave for vacation and now I remember why I stay drunk on our trips-husband started his traveling freak out a day early this year. I thought since we were driving instead of flying it would be better but I was wrong. Taking the kids this time so I can’t stay drunk.

My rant. The Christmas decorations are still up and we are well into February now! No one in the house seems to be interested in taking them down and I can't do it myself. My dh's brother and sil will be here in a couple of weekends and I know they would help, but I want to do other things that weekend besides clean up after Christmas.

YES. I am so pissed off by this and I don't know why it's bothering me so much!
Last fall outgoing mail was stolen from my mailbox and a check was stolen. My account was compromised, but luckily we realized it quickly and my bank was extremely helpful and we were out no money in the end. We opened a new account and left the old one open with a small amount of money in it to cover a couple of things that had not cleared and give me time to change anything on auto draft to the new account. It was a pain in the ass for a couple of weeks but I got it all done and closed the old account.
Then I get a call from my banker that one of my life insurance companies was still trying to auto deduct from the old account. I told her to pay it from the new account and I would contact them (I had previously downloaded the change from from their website and mailed it in as requested since I do not have a fax anymore). The agent I signed with is no longer with the company so I called the main number and spoke to someone with a very thick accent who was very unhelpful. He emailed me the same form and told me to mail it again. I did so in plenty of time for the next payment to come out.
My banker called me yesterday and told me there was a bill at the bank in my name but to their address from AIG. Wait, what? So I drove over there and got it at the end of the day and called AIG this morning. It took me 10 minutes of pressing buttons and yelling at the robot on the phone to get a person with another difficult to understand person on the phone. She couldn't tell me why the bill went to the bank even though she had my correct address, email address and phone number on file. I went through all my copies of everything on this policy and not once anywhere was the bank address ever even provided, much less my specific branch. There is also no longer an agent I can speak to with questions or issues. She can't explain why my TWO mailed requests to change the auto draft haven't been completed addressed.
She was so just like, whatever, about the whole thing I got pissed off and told her to cancel the shit. If they can't answer a single damn question how I can trust them with my money? If something happened to me would my family even get paid? i was a little unreasonable which is completely unlike me to be honest. My husband and employees are looking at me like I have been possessed. I am PISSED. Unreasonably so and I can't shake it and I don't know why.
I'm just curious how one cancer policy, one health insurance plan, a gym membership, the power bill, cable and water and TWO other life insurance companies can so easily make the change necessary but this one can't. And I can't get a helpful person on the phone? Done. Ugh. Why am I so crabby about this?

It is February in Ottawa, 7 to 10 cm of snow is not a winter storm it is a winter day. You DO NOT need to leave work early every freaking time it snows. If you can't drive in snow take the damn bus but stop leaving me with all your shit to do because it is a winter day in Ottawa.

Let's hope it heals a lot quicker this time. Keep me posted?
? You should be happy but you are not, you should be excited but you are not, you should be smiling but instead all you do is cry. Your friends and family are very confused.
