Random Rants

I needed to start this thread for a bit of pity and a momentary wallow in my misery.

:violin:

For six rental seasons, I have done the same thing. I arrive to our place and do the bi-annual change out of slipcovers. Washed the Summer covers, put them up and put on the Fall covers, which had been washed last Spring.

Mr. K calls me last night and says we got a bill for the deep clean. Fine, good. Then he read me the ridiculous amount they have charged us for DRY CLEANING all the slipcovers!!!! We even were charged for "upholstery cleaning" the outdoor cushions, which I always wash! So, I just washed slipcovers that were recently drycleaned (I told them to never do this). :bang:

Thank you...I feel better. I will be having a meeting today.

Go ahead...rant away! :wave:

Hmmmmm.......Mtn Dew, not a bad idea. I was just sitting here thinking about a REAL Coke and toast. Any other day, the combo would make me wretch; today, not so much.

I think I have food poisoning. Is that considered a rant?

Based on my recent experience, if you have food poisoning, you don't think about whether or not you have it, you think:
1) What the puck did this to me?
2) Do I need to go to the ER/doctor? And if so, can I leave the bathroom long enough to get there?

Amen, sista... :blush:

Mango, hope you are feeling better - that's one of the most miserable experiences one can have, and recover from.

Go to the ER. It's worth the long time in the waiting room to get the IV anti-nausea drugs. I love them. They make me so stoned when I got food poisoning at the beach that even the ER doc was laughing at me. Plus you'll get IV fluids which will really help you.

Hope you feel better soon.

It's awfully quiet around here sowal! :yawn:

I'm sleepy. Kitty, how do you go on three hours sleep? I think that's all I got last night.....how did I make it through this day? And, I have an 8AM mtg. UGH - I never went to 8AM classes, why would I torture myself now?

Cause I have bills to pay, that's why!

Uh-Oh - this is no rant. This is a thought or series of thoughts. I'm too tired to move it to the other thread. Don't know how anyway, unless it's cut n paste.

Sleep tight, Y'all!

Yes, it has been quiet tonight!

And I'm with you on the sleeplessness...just took a loratab for my 80-year-old sacrum and am going to attempt to sleep through the night. Grrrrrrr...

Happy trails to you, Lynnieoleum!

I have a dear GF, bless her heart, who always wants me to read her lengthy argumentative emails between herself and someone else! And, everytime, I say, "How do y'all the time to devote to this?" Looooonnnnngggggggg litany of emails! And, on the blackberry, so they are typing with their thumbs, to boot! ARGH! :rofl:

So, I was sposed to read one last night and the first sentence was so juvenile, I told her I had seen enough.....she insisted I read the whole thang, "It gets good!" WTH! Some people really do thrive in situations like that, don't they?

hmmmm......can't remember

Now that the election is over, I move to delete the political forum. It hampers my efforts to repress all things political.

Can you elaborate? I have no idea what this means.

I have a long and crazy one I can forward to you if you get bored. I purposefully kept my "arguments" short and sweet (and in DD's format:

Dear Buttwipe*,

That's an interesting point, but I do not choose to pursue it at this point.

sincerely,

Your Infinitely Smarter Colleague*.)

My original hope was that he would wear himself out, but he only got worse and finally forwarded it to our boss. Saved me a lot of trouble. Our boss sent him an email to the effect of:

Dear Buttwipe,

Get a life and leave your infinitely smarter colleague the hail alone.

Sincerely,

Your boss until you realize we're not renewing your contract*

*Names were changed to protect the stupid.

That's great. I handle it similarly, but these peeps are seriously belaboring the issue time and time again. They both need a life. I consoled two over the weekend with, "Take the high road and do what is best for both of you because the other will not. It's obvious you are hurting each other, which is unhealthy and that part has to stop. When you are ready for that to be over, it will be." Response: "Yeah, but she's my friend." My response: "Then, why don't y'all act like friends instead of beating each other up electronically?" No response. I rest my case.

Geez - people sometimes!

I had not seen that particular commercial, but I HATE that guy. Hate him. Want someone to cut his weenie off.

:scratch:I think I have an idea! We could have our first ever SoWal Telethon to raise the $$$ to purchase Jfunn a new bullhorn! The annual Turkey Trot would not be the same without the bullhorn!!!! How the hail else will I know that I am the only person that that did not win a doorprize!!!! :funn:

Not sure what surprises me more, that my friends expend so many hours a day composing these emails beating each other up or that they compose them with their thumbs!

And, this sweet GF (the one who wants me to read her other emails): I email a quick not to get together and she sends me a text in return that takes up two texts because it's character driven, evidently??? And, I am in front of my computer, which is just easier to use all of my typing digits and can't text her back. She gets upset because the email uses too much space on her gmail storage - isn't it like 20MG???! FTLOG/C!! Now, I just pick up the phone and call her - so much easier!

Hmph - the Information Age, Indeed!
