Ever just want to tear your hair out, or someone else's? If you cannot restore a sense of balance, you will run away from home? Just want to say some things without the constraints of staying on topic? Well, this thread is for you! If you just need a short break to let it all hang out, be a brat, then come on, you can do it. No holding back! Go for it, you can do it.
Now that I am on the list, at the top, I would like to share the top spot with everyone who has ever posted on this "brat thread", and that includes you, MsMadge, and Luckylu...................
I mean. E v e r y o n e .
dH has been collecting used paper plates, to my chagrin and frustration.
Today, I behaved very badly, and so he could see, I spit on both plates saying:. "Here honey, would you please put these in the trash?"
He was grossed out, actually said I was uncouth, obnoxious, and rude.
I reminded him of his favorite movie . "The Titanic " where Jack (played by Leonardo DiCapprio) taught the heroine, Rose, to spit off the side of the ship.
In later scenes, Jack, being the hero that he was, sank into the freezing water......
Obese, outside in his shorts or hanging off the balcony. That is gross and no one wants to see this shirtless wonder, not even his wife!
So far, I have restrained myself from shouting out:. "Put on some clothes!".
Help me brats!
What can I do?
But what is this "hanging off the balcony?" Was that a typo? He's not literally hanging from his balcony, is he? Is there a hammock or a tire swing???? lol

Happy Silly Sunday, Send.
Bend over, lean over the railing. Only his naked upper torso shows.
Impossible not to see this in direct line of sight.
O dear, looked away and fell down two stairs......
Think I will take a picture, send it to you Ali. Lol.
Guess it bothers me more because tomorrow is the full moon.
Maybe I will just show him how it looks, and have my dH
remove his shirt.
I wrongly assumed his big boy boxers were hung out to dry on the balcony
At least the hairy-knuckled herbert who has been driving me insane all morning - and will do for the rest of the day, no doubt - has not taken his top off. The landlord is having the house exteriors redecorated. They are currently doing all the windows. Herbert wants the windows open so that he can get to the frames. It is freezing out there - went down to the low thirties last night. I work in this room. I cannot leave the house to escape in case he and his idiot brother finish what they're doing and take themselves off. I can't stay in. I can't go out. He talks without stopping. I cannot understand what he says, but even if I could I doubt I would care to reply. The wisteria was in his way so he has painted that, too. I am in despair.
But he is decently clad. Thank God.
Or at least that is my internal translator's version. What he actually said was more like "gurrsh un's n gud, do un' prarply" followed by energetic scraping off of thick wedges of old paint and rust (dropped on the ground, obviously, what else would you do with it). Whether that made any difference to many decades' worth of bodged paintwork I couldn't tell you, but it was certainly good and noisy.
From which I suppose we are intended to infer that they are doing their best, and in difficult circumstances because neither the project manager nor the landlord's agent thought to ring round the tenants and warn us that today was the evil day, so I'm the only one home and able to open or close windows. The other tenants will merely find that they now can't open their windows without the aid of a crowbar. Normally I am kind and friendly to tradesmen and will take them mugs of tea and ask them why they aren't wearing their face masks/ear defenders/hard hats, but with this lot I just keep wanting to run round and push them off their ladders - anything to make it stop.
We Almost had it cut down last week,but the "Tree Trimmers" were scammers and luckily,thanks to the computer,we found 55 bad replies on them before we were taken too and when they came to cut it down the next day,my dH ran outside with no shirt on and yelled at them that we didn't want their work....(Creeps~)!
His wife immediately reached for her phone and called their daughter. "You'll never guess what your father's just done - "
I am sorry about your magnolia. I know you will miss it. We had a huge poplar outside the house I grew up in. My dad hung a swing from one of the lower branches. Once during a family reunion my agile and somewhat naughty cousin climbed the tree and greatly surprised my uncle when he jumped out of the leaves into his shoulders.. Eventually it had to be taken down and the whole area looked bare,
Sorry your tree was damaged Golden...
I Love all the trees in our yard so much.My parents planted them all.My favorite one is the Tulip tree,but we also have Magnolias,Mimosa's, Oak,Walnut ,Pine, and a huge Bald Cypress tree.We had a Weeping Willow too.but it died.The Bald Cypress was never supposed to grow in Missouri but Dad brought it home in a coffee can on a trip they took and it's covering half the backyard and half the driveway now.It's just huge.
My Mother had a "thing" about her trees here and when City Utiliities came to "trim" them by the power lines,Mom would go out and Patrol.She didn't want any of them cut.Ever, We had one tree in the front yard that was dead quite awhile and Mother had the tree people make a Bouquet at the top and that lasted a few years and then the whole thing toppled over and now there's just a stump.
Anyway,yeah,the trees are wonderful and it's just awful to loose one.
Yesterday I was doing yard work. Time got away from me. I ran inside put on my Astros jersey. No other reason than it was right there and I was in a very big hurry. Realizing my hair was sweaty I grabbed my Astros baseball cap and slapped it on my head.
When I got to my almost 5yr old grandsons school to pick him up he squealed with delight “Nana are we going to a baseball game ?!?” 😬
I will be back in a couple of days to change my avatar to my team logo like last year.
I hear the Dodgers and Cubs May be in the playoffs.
I sent a message back through the grapevine that there are agencies that do that...🤣
Glad you got that misunderstanding cleared up!
Also, I read you use a chainsaw? You have all of my respect. I would not trust myself with a chainsaw on my best day.
CM,
Yes, grandboy thinks Nana rocks most of the time. It took me all of an hour to convince him we were not driving from Texas to Toronto to the ballgame.
There may have been some classmates that thought senile Nana was dressed in her Halloween Costume early.
(as they say - with age comes wisdom)
I wanted to get home in time to watch the Murphy Brown reboot tonight
still at work
our father
who fart 💨
