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:

I would help y'all out with Nunsense, but Dahlonega might be a little far for rehearsals, etc......and, I am now a very nasaly exhausted Nun-type who is angry.......you might not want me.

CONGRATULATIONS on Felix!!!!! What a change with Oscar!!!!! Good job! Was it recorded? Can you youtube it?

Oops. Left out the part where the video camera was forgotten on Friday and not charged on Monday. What a week...:roll:

Continuing: My dad had heart surgery today. They told him he was coming in for a cath, but could end up with a bypass. I got up with him and Mom at 4:30 this morning (I couldn't really sleep anyway) and worried until I heard from her at 9:00. By "worried," I mean I was completely unable to keep a thought in my head and was actually nauseated. My poor boys...they have every right to think I've lost my mind!

No bypass, thank goodness. He did have 3 blockages (30%, 80%, and 90%) and they put stents in the larger 2. He looks and feels great, and should be home tomorrow.

I hope with all my heart that this is the last thing I have to rant about between now and September. Stick a fork in me; I think I'm done.

Last two nights Fox has been "frozen" during my two fave shows.
Monday night it was during "24". Missed about 20 minutes of it.
Last night it was Idol, during Allison's performance! :bang:

Anyone else have this happen? Is it my new TV? or is it Mediacon??

Great news about your Dad NoHall. :wave:

I wear my seat belt while in vehicles, but something doesn't add up when you think about seat belts being required to be worn in vehicles, while motorcycles don't have seat belts, and you can legally ride a motorcycle without even wearing a helmet. That is gov't for you.

Thank you. I've thought about this many times.

I can't even rant today, or I might never stop...I'm a woman on the edge...over stupid stuff. I just have to stfu and get over it.

So on Monday, in the next county over, this guy gunned down his own family with an assault rifle and then shot himself. (One of his sons escaped after his father tried to gun him down, and missed.)

Yesterday in Tampa, some piece of sheet thug threw his girlfriend's baby out the window while driving down the interstate.

Today, I read that a former "friend" of ours from our old church - whose company was raided by the feds in 2007 -- helped said company "succeed" by shortchanging the care of kids on Medicaid. Rather than spend most of the money they got from the state to provide mental health services for these children, company officials skimped on care, inflated expenses and kept the difference. This guy made MILLIONS by selling stock before the raid. The stock is worth one-sixth of what it was, but hey -- they just finished building a nice addition to their house!

Rough week for Florida kids so far! I am so thankful that Deli Love's granddaughter is going to be OK, that news is a speck of light in what has been a grim week. :bang:

Karma's a *****, hopefully he's in the addition when he realizes the contractor had the same business ethic.

I see that he is trying to reduce his bad karma by donating to children's causes lately. Or perhaps he is just trying to avoid prosecution, which could well be on its way.
