Beatty,

So sorry . Obviously lizard man is a sick individual. Earth is tilted off its axis and the universe has no regard for the human condition . Hence the need for this Forum .

I stopped to let another driver reverse from his carpark yesterday.
The usual custom is to be thanked - a hand raised as a laid back sort of half wave.

Instead, the 'man' inserted his middle finger into his mouth, slowly suggestively removed it to give me a strong middle finger up gesture. Then roared his engine & sped off.

I say 'man' but when he turned to face me the left side of his face appeared heavily tattooed, or was he scaled? I wondered if he was a man sized lizard?

Sigh. At moments like that, I think well.. if that's the worst thing that will happen today, ok.

I need to become more lucky.

Been in NYC for a few days for my one month stint. The temperature and humidity are unbearable. Hate it.

My mother doesn’t want to run the air conditioner, not sure it’s because of the electric bill or what. Finally told her for the aides’ sakes she needs to put it on. Good gosh.

Llama,

New England gets cold! My youngest daughter has started dating a guy who grew up in Concord, Massachusetts. She met him at a birthday party when she went to visit her friend in Denver awhile back.

He lives in Denver now. He moved to Denver after his parents divorced. His mother moved to Denver. His dad lives in Rhode Island. He has been visiting my daughter here. He is enjoying New Orleans but hates our summer weather!

My daughter is looking forward to moving back to Denver. She loves the snow! My southern daughter has acclimated well to the cold and snow! She hates the heat. Her dog hates the heat! He has the double coat of her and it’s so hot for him.

Need: Hailing from New England, I tolerate winter better than the heat of the mid Atlantic in summer. My SIL, of Norse blood - he loves the cold, also.

New whine:

I’m finishing a report, and I have total writer’s block. It’s not a difficult report.

The only thing I have no block about is food. Why can’t I have food block???

Catch you all later. My chipwich’s waiting for me.

A whine and three anti-whines. I guess that means,
-2 whines.
(1-3 = -2)

My whine:
It’s another ugh day. Nothing in particular. It’s just taking me ages getting my life back on track, after having helped my mom for ages. I though it would take me two hours. :)

End of whine.

My anti-whines:
1. I’ve always gotten back on my feet before, so I’ll succeed again.
2. It’s summer. How bad can life really be??
3. I need something new in my life. Changing life-long habits. Something new that gets me excited to be alive. Today I’ll brain-storm about what that can be.

End of anti-whines.

HOAs are not common in my part of the world and I'd never heard of them until I joined this forum. I really don't get why they are such an accepted thing in the US.

Glad, don't ya just love the HOA?!
After my dad died, we put a medium gardenia bush &ceramic pot in the front garden. 2 months later our HOA sent a letter wanting it removed. Mom didn't have 'permission' from the architectural committee. So she did the forms, HOA rejected her request, did another form and got approved. Kinda asinine 😏

Hi Glad - I'm happy to see you but not so happy you have so much to whine about :(

Hi everyone.
Very angry and frustrated about a lot of things. Tonight? The HOA that has disallowed me on any boards in order to settle a lawsuit! Fine, feather in my cap! A GC that really screwed up grading on my lot (25K to fix)! A hail storm that caused 35K (probably more) of damage, 3" stones. Have had three contracts on my house fall! Just doing good to get by.

Don't even need to think about getting old! Just need to get out of here!

I have just had itl! Maybe I need to vent here more often. Just over the top, 100 degrees doesn't help!

venting,

There was a poster a long time ago that was an only child who commented, “Gee, after reading about all of these siblings fighting, I am glad that I am an only child!”

I think WTH can mean both things, people are going to say and/or interpret it as they choose.

All this time I thought WTH meant what the heck. I just learned it means what the h3ll.

GI, I’m an only child. But I think co-caring for an elderly parent with siblings either (1) brings them closer together, or (2) brings out their true nature (their ugly side).

I hope your sister treats you well.

My sister has decided to be aggressive and mean to me while we are co caring for dad on hospice in his home. I am HCP and responsible for dad's finances for 9 yrs. and was his choice to do so. WTH???

“Today I’m thinking about my age, and how time’s slipping by while I help my mom. I want to have kids.”

I think it’s a clear sign that things need to change. You deserve to get your life back.
