Minor Irritants #12

[Rellevart]

Ok, let's have it! Who/what is ticking you off today?

[HMVNipper]

Oh boy, I have one today....

A parent who plans a FOUR HOUR birthday party for her kid in Central Park on a 90+ degree day with intense humidity, and who simply WILL NOT LET YOU OFF THE HOOK if you say you need to leave...

I swear, I want to absolutely kill the mother of my son's classmate Tyler -- four hours is entirely too long for a seven-year-old's birthday party on a GOOD day, but every time we tried to cut ourselves loose, instead of giving Jamie his goodie bag and letting us leave, she'd say, "oh, but we haven't done the pinata yet," or "oh, but you have to stay and sing Happy Birthday to Tyler," (in THREE LANGUAGES, yet!!), or "oh, but we haven't had the cake," knowing full well that a seven-year-old is NOT going to want to leave before the pinata, cake and goodie bag....so she basically held us hostage for Jamie's goodie bag! (And don't say we could have left anyway -- ever try to get a kid that age to leave a party without his prize? NOT fun...)

Next year we are conveniently going to be at Grandma's on the day of Tyler's party, I swear.... :rolleyes:

[luvsthebeatles]

I'm sorry Susan! Some people have no concept of time, or other people's needs.

My MI: Taking a three hour nap and I still haven't fully waken up.

[beatlelover45223]

Just lugging in groceries from the car had me sweating like I'd been hosed! :cross5:

[HMVNipper]

I'm sorry Susan! Some people have no concept of time, or other people's needs.

My MI: Taking a three hour nap and I still haven't fully waken up.

You are so right about that, honey! :bigeyes3: I kept hearing my dad's voice in my head going, "Cut yourself loose, Susan, cut yourself loose!" And the woman wouldn't LET us do that!!!!

I hate that groggy feeling after a long nap too -- hope you wake up!


Just lugging in groceries from the car had me sweating like I'd been hosed! :cross5:

And I gather it's as hot where you are as it is here, Nancy...we have no relief in sight, unfortunately. Bleh....

[motherTheresa]

i wish that they could locate natalee holloway...the missing alabama

teen who disappeared in aruba. not that i want to sound like the voice

of doom, but i would assume the poor girl met with foul play. if only for

the sake of her family, to be able to put her to rest properly. :cry1:

[DizzymissLizzy909]

I'm so mad at myself. I keep making stupid choices! :angry9:

[Isn't it good]

I'm so mad at myself. I keep making stupid choices! :angry9:

Hey Lizzy, don't be too hard on yourself. The fact that you're reflecting on the decisions you've already made to help you make new ones means you're bound to start feeling better about your choices soon. And if it makes you feel any better, I've made some fairly poor decisions (ie: procrastinating my school work for an entire week) lately too. I have every confidence that you know how to choose the things that are right for you- so cheer up, sweetie! :wave1:

[twovirgins]

some one murdered my mail box and Im still waiting for my MMT dvd I ordered

Aw - thank you! :smile1: That did make me feel a lot better, I do have a bad habit of beating myself up over every mistake I make. :blush4: :tongue1:

[DizzymissLizzy909]

some one murdered my mail box and Im still waiting for my MMT dvd I ordered

Someone did what to your mailbox?? :afraid4:

[Lynner]

The heat!:angry1:

[HMVNipper]

And the humidity!

[Lizzy]

Yeah this heat is terrible :help: And I have a sore throat... :angry1:

[twovirgins]

Someone did what to your mailbox?? :afraid4:
ran the poor thing over with a car at least they damaged the car doing it as there is glass around too

[Sally]

Don't you have letter boxes over there in your front door? Why do you have a free standing letter boxes?

[HMVNipper]

Don't you have letter boxes over there in your front door? Why do you have a free standing letter boxes?

Depends on where you live -- in rural areas mailboxes are frequently out by the edge of the driveway along the road because the houses are set so far back. The mail carrier delivers in a car or a postal truck and it would take too long if he or she had to get out of the car and walk up to every door, particularly in farm country!

I grew up in the suburbs and my house had a mail slot in the door -- eventually. For a long time we had a metal box attached to the wall outside the door. And in our apartment building we have a bank of mailboxes in the lobby.

[twovirgins]

yes im in apartment like buildings and its easier for the mail man just to drive up instead of going door to door

[MaccaGirl2891]

Heat/humidity and little preschoolers that I have to spend a week with at Bible school!!!!!! :angry1:

[LittleDarlin909]

Don't you have letter boxes over there in your front door? Why do you have a free standing letter boxes?


I've never seen a mail box/slot on a door! In fact, most people around here have some kind of personalized or decorative mail box.

[LittleDarlin909]

My MI for the day--mosquitos :angry9:

[Clark Kent]

Getting stuff organised for my graduation is hassle.

[beatlegirl9977]

Blecch, it was too hot today. It was already miserably hot when I left for work this morning.

[SandySunshine]

I've never seen a mail box/slot on a door! In fact, most people around here have some kind of personalized or decorative mail box.
The letter box on our door is sealed up and we have a box outside now. The reason was that the dog liked to play "Catch and Destroy" with the post!!!!!

[justanothergirl]

putting together a hamster's cage is confuzing :cross5:

[DizzymissLizzy909]

There's a site online that my teachers use to post our marks so the students and parents can look at their marks. I was trying to login in today to check how I did on my finals, but EVERY time I check that site, they keep changing my password and/or username! Usually I have to try a number of different combinations before getting it, but now no matter what I type in it won't let me on. :rolleyes:

[DizzymissLizzy909]

I heard bad news about SgtPeppers, and now I'm worried and can't sit still. :cry1:

[justanothergirl]

I hope she is ok!

[twovirgins]

I heard bad news about SgtPeppers, and now I'm worried and can't sit still. :cry1:
Im sending my good thoughts to her

[DizzymissLizzy909]

Thanks guys - she was riding this evening and fell off her horse and is on the way to the hospital, I'll let you know when I hear any other updates.

[sourmilkpinky]

My prayers are with her :(

[MaccaGirl2891]

Oh, man, I hope she's ok! I'm praying for her!

[Roxy Starkey]

Thanks guys - she was riding this evening and fell off her horse and is on the way to the hospital, I'll let you know when I hear any other updates.


Please let us know how she is.

My good thoughts are with her.

[DizzymissLizzy909]

Hey guys, thanks for all your good thoughts - just want to give you an update.

My sister Christine was riding with her and saw the accident and went with her to the hospital for a few hours. My dad and I just went to go pick her up though, because it looks like Kim will still be several hours there, if not overnight, and there wasn't any point in her staying there in the waiting room while she has an exam tomorrow morning.

It looks like Kim will be okay, but her arm was smashed up pretty hard. While she was riding she actually fell off a few times, the first time she was winded but got back on. They were doing jumping, and with just a few minutes left of the lesson Kim's horse jumped, and then the girth (large belt that goes around the belly to hold the saddle on) snapped, and the horse went one way while Kim and the saddle went the other.

Christine said her arm looks pretty bad, and it looks like her elbow has two "points" instead of one because of the bone sticking out (ewww and ouch). So Kim is on "happy gas" and morphine right now, but when my sister was there she said the medication wasn't helping much and Kim was still in a lot of pain.

So it looks like the doctors will have to reset the elbow for her, and I'm not sure if her wrist was broken or sprained as well. I don't know if she would need surgery for that, or if the doctors can fix it up with a cast??
Whenever I hear more I'll let you all know, although at this point we'll probably just get an update tomorrow if she doesn't see the doctors for a while yet...

It's too bad that this is her right arm that got hit. That will make things pretty difficult. :( Not to mention I'm sure this accident will ruin many of her summer plans, and any more horseback riding for the next several weeks.

[Lynner]

Wow! Thanks for the update and tell her that we're all thinking of her! Hope she'll be able to get some sleep tonight.

[Lynner]

Today's MI - got a phone call from a that I haven't seen in over 7 months and all she did was gripe! :scream2: Sheesh - well gee, thanks for the phone call.

[Lynner]

Another MI - my daughters' team had made it to round two in the softball finals, but lost today. :( The whole team was really bummed.

[Lizzy]

Ooh it's terrific Liz... Now when holiday is beginning... I hope she'll be O.K. soon to enjoy summer and days off!

[HMVNipper]

Lizzy, thank you for telling us about Kim -- I didn't see the posts until now. Good thoughts go out to her, I hope she will be okay. Please let her know that all of us here are thinking about her, and keep us updated!

[Sally]

Ants - again.

Oh that is awful! I really hope she will be ok and not in too much discomfort, my love and good wishes are sent.

Take it from me, all the good wishes sent on this forum really do have a positive effect.

[DizzymissLizzy909]

Thank you all for your very kind wishes! I will pass them onto Kim as soon as I am able. :smile1: Like you mentioned, Sally, now I'm also very confident that the good thoughts and prayers can work wonders, and I'm sure Kim will be okay.
I don't have any more updates right now - I'm sure her parents aren't up at this hour, though - but as soon as I hear anything else I'll be sure to let you all know. :smile1:

[Roxy Starkey]

Yes, Liz thanks for keep us update. I'm sending good thoughts for Kim, I hope she recovers soon. Let her know we love her and we're thinking of her :smile1:

[SgtPeppers]

Hey guys!!!! thanks for all of the support!!!! i really appreciate it!!!! iam doing alright now, and i was kind of crying from reading all the things u guys have said!!!! thanks again!!!!

[JimmyMcCullochFan]

[Roxy Starkey]

love you guys very much!!!!
kim
That's just the drugs talking :wink2: just kidding...glad you are well enough to be about....still thinking of you! Get all better fast :teeth1:

[beatlebangs1964]

This is a MI in comparison to the ones others have shared. I am at the library and these girls making cat sounds are really annoying me. I wish they'd talk instead of making those damned irritating sounds.

Another MI - I can't stand groveling. There are few things that drive me up a tree to the extent toadying behavior does. I knew someone who would do ANYTHING, repeat, ANYTHING to be liked. That would include agreeing with the most off the wall things and kowtowing to acknowledged favorites. That got old fast and I found myself becoming increasingly impatient with the person because I didn't like this behavior.

[beatlelover45223]

Glad to see your post here Kim, so your broke your elbow? Hope it mends easily... take care of you. :smile1:

[beatlegirl9977]

Ok, this heat has GOT to end. And we need rain badly.... My neighbor's swimming pool looks SO tempting right now; I'm wilted. And the week is yet young.

[DizzymissLizzy909]

Ok, this heat has GOT to end. And we need rain badly.... My neighbor's swimming pool looks SO tempting right now; I'm wilted. And the week is yet young.

I would give absolutely anything to switch our weather with yours - we've broken all previous records with all this rain we've been getting! I think we've had exactly two days of "nice" weather, and every other day for the past month and a half it's been cloudy and/or rainy!
I start work next Monday, and I would like to enjoy some nice weather before I'm stuck inside all day!

[DizzymissLizzy909]

By the way, Kim did dislocate her elbow, and fractured her wrist. So her entire arm is all wrapped up in a cast for the next six weeks... but I admire her determination, she's already looking forward to to hopping back on her horse. It'll be a while before she can do that obviously, but she definately is a trooper. :smile1:

[motherTheresa]

Blecch, it was too hot today. It was already miserably hot when I left for work this morning.


it's like mother nature keeps hitting the repeat

yay Kim I'm soo glad you're alright! :teeth1: ((((Hugs)))))

[luvsthebeatles]

My MI: Big storms, big winds, trees falling down, and no internet, tv, or phone. At least it's all fixed now.

[SandySunshine]

When you're stuck inside all day, that's the when the weather's bound to get nicer!!!!!

We had a mega thunderstorm last night!!! A real window rattler!!!!!

"His mad cows are being put to sleep"

I need to vent about BSE (mad cow) and the hypocritical US governemnt as another mad cow is found in the US We are Insisting that Japan and Taiwann who have put a stop to buying US beef better start buying our cows again But at the same time we have put a ban on Canadien beef for the exact same reason. Im so sick of USA saying one thing to one counrty while saying the opposite to another Like Iran having nukes bad but America having nukes good!and Cuba is a bad bad place ! But ofcorse we build a Military jail there and thats good

[Siobhan]

Ants - again.

I can sympathise with you. My little boy dropped a raisin the other day and it rolled under the sofa without me realising, and the next morning I woke up to literally hundreds of the bloody things.

[SandySunshine]

Why is it that when my little girl is tired, she won't go to sleep?!?! The more tired she is, the more fuss she makes about going to bed!!!!!

[twovirgins]

Why is it that when my little girl is tired, she won't go to sleep?!?! The more tired she is, the more fuss she makes about going to bed!!!!!
because she doesnt want to miss anything :)

[SandySunshine]

because she doesnt want to miss anything :)
Not much chance of that!!! There's nothing TO miss round our way!!!!!

[Sally]

Why is it that when my little girl is tired, she won't go to sleep?!?! The more tired she is, the more fuss she makes about going to bed!!!!!

I have that but twice over :laugh5:

[SandySunshine]

I just don't get it!!! If you're tired you go to sleep, don't you?! When she's wide awake, I have no trouble getting her to bed at all!!!!!

[luvsthebeatles]

I just don't get it!!! If you're tired you go to sleep, don't you?! When she's wide awake, I have no trouble getting her to bed at all!!!!!
That's the reasoning of little kids. :wink1: How old is your little girl? :smile1:

[twovirgins]

my son stopped taking naps at like 18 months old lol

[SgtPeppers]

Thanks again for everything you guys!!!!!

[luvsthebeatles]

my son stopped taking naps at like 18 months old lol
that's funny, I still do :wink1:

[justanothergirl]

I'm really glad to see your back Kim :teeth1:

my MI. Spilling a drink on my white shirt :rolleyes:

[luvsthebeatles]

Not feeling so hot today.

[chiliace]

Not feeling so hot today.

Sorry to hear that, Miss luvs. Are you getting good vitimins? Ester C is a really good "C" that is easy on your tummy.
My MI for the day having to pay money to get MY money from a cash machine, or whatever they are called.

[Rellevart]

Heard my neighbors screaming at each other tonight, really nasty stuff. They must have been SCREAMING because normally I don't hear anything from my neighbors (except the yappy little dog, who's been quite quiet lately) and these weren't even people in my building, they were people across the alley. I'm almost a little worried because it got almost loud enough that I was considering calling the cops and then it stopped.

[Rellevart]

They're remodeling our laundry room, starting next Tuesday and it's going to be closed for 11 days!! Meaning, I have to either buy some more towels and underwear or lug all my laundry two blocks down the street to the gross laundromat in 90 degree heat. Blah. I'm all for renovations, but with basically no notice?? Grrrrr.

[MaccaGirl2891]

OMG, I can't believe it. There's a kid in my class, Michael, and his stepfamily owns a company that makes concrete and bricks and such, and it's been going on since about 1946. Well, his stepdad (who graduated with my mom) and Michael's stepgrandpa got together with another company about 4 years ago and fixed the price of the stuff they sold, and cheated a lot of people. Well, today, either people found out or they confessed or something, but they're going to jail for 5 months. They've been fined $29.2 million for breaking antitrust stuff, and this is the biggest fine for a case of its kind in the US. It's just kinda disappointing, because this is a company that's based in my county, and we get a lot out of it. My cousin also works at one of them. It's going to be a hard time for Michael and his mom and their family. :(

[DizzymissLizzy909]

Mosquitos!!! And lots of them! I think they all hatched today, I've never ever seen anything like it.

[Sally]

Thanks again for everything you guys!!!!!

welcome back :wave1:

[SandySunshine]

That's the reasoning of little kids. :wink1: How old is your little girl? :smile1:
My little girl is two and a half and she stopped her afternoon nap about 6 months ago when I moved her from a cot to a bed.
She eventually went to sleep at about 9pm last night and was awake at 5am!!!!! Which is unusual for her 'cos she normally sleeps 12 hours in the night, no matter what time she went to bed!!!!!
So now she's in a bad mood 'cos she's tired!!!!! But do you think she'll have a sleep?!?!
On top of that, we're stuck indoors 'cos it's raining hard and she'll be in an even worse mood if I take her out in the rain!!!!! Luckily, there's nowhere we need to be!!!!!

[Lynner]

today's mi - having too much boring stuff that needs to be done (organize bills, clean house, to to work, etc.) and not enough time to get it all done.

[sourmilkpinky]

my ears are so plugged up they feel like my head is going to explode. At least I can't hear anyone whining at me :)

Aww! I have a neice that's three years old, I love going to see her :teeth1: They can be a pain, but they're still a heck of a lot of fun to play with... especially since I don't have any younger brothers or sisters :wink1:

Hey Kim, I kind of missed this when it happened, but I was really sorry to read about it today! You have my absolute best wishes for a speedy recovery and awesome Canada day. Take care of yourself!

[Celebrian]

Kim! I'm so glad you are ok! Taking spills off of horses is not fun by any means. I ams orry you are out of commission for a while, but you take care of yourself. The horses will always be there.
You'll be doing this in no time:

Also, I can't believe the cinch broke(?!!) Didn't the trainer check the equipment beforehand? That is highly unusual and quite preventable.

[DizzymissLizzy909]

Also, I can't believe the cinch broke(?!!) Didn't the trainer check the equipment beforehand? That is highly unusual and quite preventable.

I'll let Kim explain it a bit better... but her instructor had told her that day that the cinch was starting to get worn out, and she'd have to start thinking of replacing it soon. I'm not sure what the horse was doing during the lesson, but she must've been stretching it a lot to make it suddenly snap like that! :thinker:

[Sally]

I discovered last night that I am getting too old for punk/rock gigs in pubs.

Yea my instructor told me a week or two befor tjis happened that my girth will be needing replacing soon, but it wasent like it needed it right away. so it wasent in that bad of shape.
We were doing a grid(jumping) and i finished it really well, but then i landed after the last jump, and my grith broke. so that's what happened!

[Magill]

Shelling out hard earned money for a crummy pedicure by someone who was recommended to me. GRRRRR!! :angry1: I would have gotten a better one down at the mall!

just kidding :clown1:

[Rellevart]

EIGHT FREAKING BUCKS for a glass of mediocre wine at a bar in my neighborhood tonight! No wonder I never drink around here.

[DizzymissLizzy909]

The fact that the Backstreet Boys are back together. :rolleyes:

[Sally]

Noisy rumpy pumpy from the couple again upstairs last night, preferred it when the girl upstairs was single!

[lovely rita mcc]

The fact that the Backstreet Boys are back together. :rolleyes:



i must admit i used to liked the Backstreet boys when i was younger so much younger than today :wink2: :rolleyes: ..but.....that´s just my past :clown1: :blush4: .

[beatlebangs1964]

Lots of people liked the Backside Boys. Ain't nothing wrong with that.

I am sick of women with large bags swinging into people and hurting them with those damn bags. Ever since I was little, I have known to give a large bag a wide berth because I get sick of people bumping them into you. I hate large bags.

I hate minivans and SUVs. Getting stuck behind a slowpoke that you can't pass is annoying also.

I am so damn sick of Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, that sandstone faced Jennifer Aniston and that tiresome Tom Cruise that I could just :scream2: !

[beatlebangs1964]

my ears are so plugged up they feel like my head is going to explode. At least I can't hear anyone whining at me :)

A relative had that problem and solved it by having ear irrigation. The doctor pumps some warm water into the ears; the patient leans to the side and it washes out the impacted wax. Worked like a charm!

[MaccaGirl2891]

Politically correct words in the church hymnbooks. Grrrrrrrrrrr....... Leave 'em like they were written!!!!

so there was a little vroooom vrooom happening? :laugh5: I finally decided to buy a house when my neighbors would do their whole thing right at the head of my bed/next door of course :wink2:

[DizzymissLizzy909]

Noisy rumpy pumpy from the couple again upstairs last night, preferred it when the girl upstairs was single!

That's definately one of the things I enjoy most about living in a house. :wink2: Even though we have some weird neighbors, at least we don't hear THAT all night long.

But speaking of being kept up, thanks to the police helicopter that was circling for twenty minutes over my house at midnight last night. :rolleyes: Sure hope you caught whoever you were looking for down here, because I am sleeepy this morning.

[beatlebangs1964]

"Rumpy pumpy" - never heard that term til now!

Politically correct words in the church hymnbooks. Grrrrrrrrrrr....... Leave 'em like they were written!!!!

Nightshift last night and stayed up all day today so now I can hardly keep my eyes open.

My 4th of July plans got rained out. Oh well.

[beatlegirl9977]

Yeah, isn't that amazing? We don't get a good soaking rain for literally weeks, and then the one day we DO need nice weather........ :rolleyes: It messed up my barbecuing plans for the afternoon.

[LittleDarlin909]

For those of you keeping count, this is family death number 5 in the last 2 months: my boyfriend's grandfather, Jack, died this morning :sad3: He means so much to so many people; he's going to be very missed.

3 guys followed me back home, and I was so scared. I started runnning, but they ran too. I entered my house as fast as I could. I closed the door and they started knocking and calling me to open it. Gosh, I'm tired of this situtations, I was really scared. I'm thankful that nothing happened.

[DizzymissLizzy909]

NEVER DIS A FORD FALCON! :nono5:

The other night I was watching this cool show about classic cars. One segment was about Jayne Mansfield who died in 1967 in a 1966 Buick Electra. The narrator said that she [Jayne] wouldn't be seen driving, er, riding in a Ford Falcon. And why not?! The Falcon was a very cool car (the 1960-65 were the COOOOOLest ones). Sure, it was a modest, spiffy little Ford. Still, it was a well made, light little Ford and it was a Better Idea. That was a beautiful car!

Ain't nothing wrong with driving a Falcon or being lucky to ride in one. The 1966 Electra was a massive car that did not have a cool body style. The 1964 Electra on the other hand was very cool. Still, those Electras ain't got NOTHING on a Falcon!

These are JMHOs.

There was a little girl in my county that many people had been praying for because she had an inoperable brain tumor for 13 months. Well, on July 4, she died. Her name was Claire Tatom and she was 7 years old. Please pray or send good thoughts out to her family and friends during this extremely difficult time in their lives. RIP, sweet Claire.

My thoughts and prayers are gone out to her and her family.

Yeah, it often happens at around 6 or 7 PM, wich is not too late. But that's the time I usually walk home from my English classes or any other thing I do on the afternoons. I don't know. I will try not to go out after 5 PM, wich is crazy but now I'm so scared that I can't even go out at midday. I think I should see a pshicologist, I'm starting to feel very afraid all the time :afraid1:

I'll be sure to pass along prayers for that girl's family, Jaye.


I met this family today at work, and they're in one of the worst situations I've ever seen - alcoholism, violence, abuse, poverty, two of the kids have a disease that can only be controlled through diet, but the mother hardly bothers to take care of them... :( It's a little different coming back to my nice welcoming home...

I don't like it when established nouns are made into faddish verbs, e.g. "journalling" and "scrapbooking" and "antiquing." Why not say "keeping a journal," "making a scrapbook" or "shopping for antiques?" Just a silly pet peeve I have, I know.

Flipping heck!!!!! I knew it was something strong, but I didn't know it was Valium!!!!! It helps me with sleeping at night but as for the pain, I'm on Diclofenac for that but it doesn't seem to be doing much to help!!!!! I think it's more of an anti-inflammatory than an actual pain killer though. I've been taking it for a couple of years for a lower back problem and I think I might be getting immune to it!!!!!!!!!! If that's possible?!?! It really is quite excruciating at times and the worst thing is I don't even know how I did it!!!!! :nono4: :cry3:

My fiance is way too disorganized...At least once a week he misplaces a piece of paper with a phone number or something else important, then spends half an hour blowing a fit about it.

Thanks for your prayers, thankfully I think everything's okay! My mom just got off the phone with her, and it turns out my grandmother had two angina attacks today, but it wasn't a heart attack after all.

Marching band has made me SO sore and worn out....owie....and we were just practicing for a parade on Sunday!....owie....
I also have pinches all over my left arm and one on my right from clanging the cymbals like a hi-hat.

[Rellevart]

Somebody doesn't want me to sleep...first I wake up with a major cramp in my leg, so bad that it's still sore 5 hours later. Then I finally get back to sleep and the garbage trucks come and bang all over the place. I'm just drifting off again and the power goes out! Apparently one of my neighbors got confused and switched off all the circuit breakers on our floor, but I had to get dressed, go downstairs, find the maintenance guy and have him look into it. Then I go back to bed and the blasted Chicago Tribune calls me, trying to sell me a subscription! IEEEEEEEEEE. So I just decided to get up.

[beatlebangs1964]

I can't stand show offs/know it alls. Bragging is one thing that irritates me big time as does its equally annoying inverse, brown nosing. The trainer I had for a possible job is a grade-A jerk and phony IMHO. I think he's full of more horse manure than every horse in the country!

[LittleDarlin909]

First of all--Alex Trebek. What an ass :angry9:

Second, I'm getting really tired of women nursing their babies in the middle of the restaurant. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for breastfeeding! It's natural and healthier for the baby. Just do it in the bathroom. Maybe it's just me, but it seems very rude to whip your boobs out in public (for any reason), especially in a family-oriented restaurant where lots of young children are eating.

[motherTheresa]

Sore back and arms from lugging 50+ pounds of equipment five blocks to and from the gig tonight. I'm too little and too old to be lugging so much crap around. Oh well, not like anybody else is going to do it for me, so suck it up and deal. :smile1:

[Rellevart]

My unemployed friend who insists on calling me at/after 10:00 pm on weeknights when she KNOWS I go to bed early. That's just inconsiderate. So I let the machine take the call.

Excuse me babies are children too and would you eat your lunch in the bathroom then? I think its terrible that people think that breast feeding in public is rude, its a very narrrow minded attitude and breast feeding is a very natural thing to do, thats what boobs are for. I have fed both my kids in public places, and have always been discreet.

Sorry if I seem harsh but its a major issue of mine, and I also started a group a few years ago promoting breast feeding awareness and the right to feed in public so please don't take it personally.

Now you see that is what made it not ok for ladies to feed in public, Alans have been over sexualised so people just see alans as a sex thing but really they are for feeding babies.

I tend to agree on the breast feeding subject...as long as it is done discreetly.
I don't think it is polite to bare all in a public place....I mean the breast is for feeding...but there are other parts of the body that I wouldn't want people using in public even for what they are for ;)

I quite agree with you, Sally, most public restrooms do not have a "lounge" area where a woman can sit comfortably in a clean place and feed her baby. Nowadays I have seen "family lounges" in newer malls and shopping centers, which make it a lot more pleasant to breastfeed if need be, but I don't think that women should have to take their babies into a filthy, smelly restroom to feed them! Would YOU want to eat your lunch in the toilet???

Just the other week we were at a picnic with other families from my son's class, and one mom has a four month old baby. She was wearing a blouse with special flaps and a nursing bra, and she was able to nurse the baby right there sitting on the grass in front of the Columbia University Library. It was discreet, it was NOT a matter of "whipping out a tit," and it was JUST FINE...nowadays you can also get a lot of specialy designed nursing clothing that make things easier and a lot more discreet -- I used to get a catalogue from a company called Motherwear that specialized in such things. And barring that, a strategically placed baby blanket can do wonders...but I also think that nursing is a natural and wonderful thing, and as long as a woman is discreet, why should she be relegated to feeding her baby in the loo?

[LittleDarlin909]

I didn't mean to offend anyone with my breastfeeding comment. I should've been more specific about what I found offensive (for the record, I have no problem with breastfeeding; hell, I was breastfed myself! I just think a little discretion is in order). What I was so mad about yesterday was that the woman didn't have a baby blanket or nursing bra or anything; she sat there with her shirt pulled up, bra on the table, and breast exposed loooong after her baby had finished nursing.

Again, I apologize for my poorly phrased rant and for offending anyone.

Nothing wrong with ranting! :laugh5: You may notice that I like the odd rant!!!!

Now I understand what you are saying, of course its not nice to see leaky baps flopped out on the table, I just thought you were against it in general, sorry.

Yes discretion is the key and there is no reason why a mother can't be.



PS. get better roxy.

[Sally]

The old lady next door keeps coming out into her garden clearing her throat and gobbing (spitting) really really loudly and because we have all our windows open because of the heat my music is punctuated by the sound of her gobbing!!! She seems to do it in rythm!

Plus the gay couple on the other side keep having lots of parties in their garden (not so bad cos there are lots of cool young men in tight vests), and play Abba very loudly and what with the shagging couple upstairs...........................I need to move to the country.

[Rellevart]

That sounds like one of my mom's co-workers. :rolleyes:

My sympathies to your mom then! :smile1:

I just don't understand people who are nasty to other people for no reason. I mean, I'm not the nicest person in the world and I'm definitely NOT an all nicey nicey sweetsie weetsie type, but why approach somebody you don't even know with instant hostility? What about giving them a chance? You can still be nasty to them later if they turn out to be a rotten person, but why START with an unpleasant attitude?

[luvsthebeatles]

Yeah, that's the nurses that my mom works with. You'd think that since they're nurses, they'd be at least a little bit nice to patients, and maybe to their co-workers? But no. They're only there for the money, they don't care about the patients.

My MI today is being woken up at 7:00 in the morning by incredibly loud pounding on our roof, so much that it made my walls rattle. Of course the roofers decide to start exactly above my head this morning. :rolleyes:

Now... they're still right above my head. They're following me! :cry3:

No problem here, Claire, I actually agree that breastfeeding without a measure of decorum can definitely be offensive. What you describe is really quite offputting!

Plus the gay couple on the other side keep having lots of parties in their garden (not so bad cos there are lots of cool young men in tight vests), and play Abba very loudly and what with the shagging couple upstairs...........................I need to move to the country.

Gee, Sally, you sure live in a...um...colorful...neighborhood! :wink1: Seriously, you should write a stand-up comedy routine about your neighbors, the way you tell us about them crack me up every time. (Of course, I'm sure I'd feel quite differently if I was LIVING near all that...but even so...)

And I thought living in New York City was an adventure!!

I wouldn't mind but Twickenham is actually quite a quiet part of London!

Dropping a whole pint of lager over the living room carpet!!:angry1:

[sourmilkpinky]

[Zimmerman The Gnome]

Too late!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a waste of beautiful alcohol.:cry3:


Now I'll have to open another one!:devious:

[sourmilkpinky]

[Zimmerman The Gnome]

On its way my friend!! :smile1:

It may be some time though!! :beer1:

[sourmilkpinky]

Blasted postal service :)

Very sad to hear that a casual friend's wife has cancer. I hope they caught it early and she'll be fine.

[DizzymissLizzy909]

You HAVE been working a lot this week. :bigeyes3: And I miss you! Do try to enjoy the experience, though, you'll still have plenty of your summer holidays left to relax once you're done the job. :smile1:

[DizzymissLizzy909]

Oh no! My thoughts go out to your friend's wife, hope it isn't anything too serious...

[Sally]

Thats awful but they can do wonderful things nowadays if they catch it early enough. Just give your friend lots of support which I am sure you will.

[Rellevart]

Thats awful but they can do wonderful things nowadays if they catch it early enough.

Yes, I know, that's what I'm hoping. Unfortunately, someone else close to me didn't catch it early and she's not doing well at all, so I'm not the most optimistic person when it comes to that these days. Luckily, this guy is a really optimistic, enthusiastic person, so hopefully he'll be able to keep his wife's spirits up as she goes through treatment.

[Roxy Starkey]

I know I said I was feeling better, but now I've fever again.
Besides a doctor came to see me this afternoon and I have a flu, a soar throath and urinary infection :sad3:

[DizzymissLizzy909]

Oh dear! I'm sorry to hear that Roxy... take care of yourself, okay? Get better soon.

[beatlelover45223]

sorry honey, sounds like you have a lot of things going on, make sure you drink plenty of fluids for the congestion(which can keep the fever running high too, if the congestion is deep and dry) and the UTI(urinary tract infection) K? ((hugs))

[DizzymissLizzy909]

I hate trying to coordinate everyone's shower plans in the morning... I don't know if my mom is about to hop in there now, or whether I should grab it now when I have the chance, or is my dad up early and will all three of us need it in the next half hour...? :tongue1:

[sourmilkpinky]

Can I adopt you Lizzy??? my kid wouldn't care...and just pop in when she wanted to! Fortunately during the summer, that is at three in the afternoon LOL

[HMVNipper]

Gee, Roxy, I hope you feel better soon! If the doctor gave you antibiotics, be sure you take them all and don't stop taking them even if you feel better before the prescription is done. You don't want to get a nasty recurrent infection!

My MI this morning is that I have a ton of laundry to do and I don't want to be bothered, but I have to do it...sigh...

[Sally]

My you are having a rough time Roxy, I hope you are ok soon.

[Sally]

90 degrees here in London today, so hot my cheese sandwich is melting.

[Rellevart]

The girl sitting next to me is whining to any man who will listen that this guy Mike "is so meeeeeeeean to me!!!!" Grow up. You're 22 years old, you're working in a professional office, you're not some whiny baby. Be assertive, if the guy is hassling you, tell him to quit, don't giggle and simper and then whine that he's being so meeeeeeeean to you. If he's not hassling you and you're just teasing and flirting, save that for after hours.

I am so glad I don't work in an office enviroment anymore.

[Rellevart]

There's an intern outing to the Cubs game this afternoon. I would have liked to go, but of course, I wasn't invited, because they had to invite a bunch of people who have already given notice and are quitting in the next few weeks. Nice.

[MaccaGirl2891]

I have a mild fever. :( :(

[johnpaulgeorgeringo]

Going to the trouble to water my parents' plants and then later in the day it rains anyway! That really gets my goat.

[IMeMine1969]

There was some really horribly vulgar graffitti at the park I work at today. :furious:
The 7 to 11 year olds that are there for the program really don't need to be reading that kind of crap!

[luvsthebeatles]

Jaye and Roxy I hope you two feel better! :smile1:

[MaccaGirl2891]

My fever is gone, but yesterday my mom took me to my grandparents' house to have me examined by my grandpa (he's a doctor) and he said to come back tomorrow after he checked me. Well, we went today, and he told us to go to the doctor's office. Turns out I have an enlarged spleen, and I'm going to have another ultrasound on Tuesday (only I don't have to drink until I pop). I HATE THIS!!! It stinks!

[LittleDarlin909]

I feel hung up and I don't know why. . .

[Rellevart]

I wish the people in my building would learn to read. We have two recycle bins in the laundry room, one for papers and one for glass/plastic. People are ALWAYS putting paper in the glass bin and glass in the paper bin. I have this horrible feeling that the recycling company comes to take them each week and sees the mess and just chucks it all somewhere rather than sorting it out.

I know! That's what got me thinking about this! :smile1:

[luvsthebeatles]

How is it possible that a song that pulled up four results on WinMx downloads faster than the other song that pulled up over two THOUSAD? :rolleyes:

[MaccaGirl2891]

Now, I can't lift or pull anything, for fear of straining anything because of my enlarged spleen. The only thing I'm useful for right now is just sitting around.

[luvsthebeatles]

I hope you get better Jaye. :sad1:

[Rellevart]

So tired of my friend's negative attitude towards life. Not to be all puppies and rainbows about it (because you all know I'm not like that), but geez, find SOMETHING in your life to have a positive attitude about, will you? I'm not little Mary Sunshine all the time, but at least I try to limit my negative attitude to my job and not expecting too much out of musicians. :wink1:

do you have mono-nucleosis Jaye? I know your spleen can enlarge with that, plus the fevers, chills, lethargy?

[sourmilkpinky]

Watching a huge, beautiful thunderstorm roll through, close enough to put me in a tornado warning, yet not get a drop of rain out of it. Not a drop....of course it is too windy to water too :(

[Cecilia]

Two of my wisdom teeth will be taken out tomorrow...

[DizzymissLizzy909]

Hope you do okay, Cecilia! Hope your mouth won't be all swollen for days afterwards. :afraid4:


I don't like how time changes some people... for the worse. :nono4:

This one's more a worry than an irritant. My daughter occaisionaly walks in her sleeps. This isn't usually a problem, but last night she managed to walk out the front door! We didn't hear anything until she realized (failrly quickly, I think) that she was outside and had pulled the door shut behind her. She knocked, but we didn't hear and she ended up walking around the house to the back porch (luckily that door was unlocked) and banged on another door until we heard her. This was at 2:30. I ended up holding her most of the rest of the night cuz I was scared it would happen again. Now we have to figure out what to do so she can't walk out without anyone hearing her!

Any ideas? Please share.

[sourmilkpinky]

Loud cow bells on the doors.
that is scary Lynn.

[beatlegirl9977]

My future mother-in-law drove off our driveway and put a big gash in our lawn when we first moved into our house...Well, we just evened out the gash this past Monday and managed to get new grass growing in that spot, and what happens?? She came over to drop something off today and drove right through it again!! :rolleyes:

I get some of that with my front lawn, only it comes from careless drivers turning aound, etc. At least latey the lawn has been harder because of no rain.

:afraid4: :afraid4: How old is she Lynn? That definately is something I'd be worrying about too... so is this with the front door LOCKED that she unlocked, opened, and stepped out sleepwalking? The only thing I can think of is putting a loud wind chime or something on the door at night so you'd wake up if she did that again.

[Rellevart]

Dang, dang, dang, my car is making funny noises when I turn left. Last time I had this problem, it was like $400 to fix, but I caught it earlier this time, so maybe it'll be cheaper? Please? My car is 12 years old, so I don't want to put that much more money into it, but I don't really want to buy a new one JUST yet....

[Rellevart]

How old is she Lynn?

She's 10. Maybe put a chain lock on the door high enough that she can't reach it? Yipes. :afraid2:
