2007 Minor Irritants #10

[Rellevart]

That my neighbor's yappy little dog woke me up early this morning! Grrrrr.

[MaccaGirl2891]

I'm getting a cold. And I was sick on Tuesday. I probably got it from my dad and my mom now has it from [most likely] me.

[Asha]

My back hurts & I don't know why.

[jesgear]

My back hurts, too, but I know why.

[Lucy]

Have a strange guts ache. And nearly died at the gym today - so hard getting back into it!

[Rellevart]

Four meetings today...ugh...

[Asha]

My back hurts, too, but I know why.

Hope you feel better, jes...

MI - my chiropractor is out until next week...

[sadie]

Jes and Asha, you need that Swedish man GG knows.....Lucy should you be going to gym with a stomach ache? :afraid2:

[Asha]

Jes and Asha, you need that Swedish man GG knows.....

Oh no, I have my man! He'll set me right, but he's on holiday this week! :eyebrows:

[VersusBatman]

My brother in law and father in law critizied how we raise our son. Here is the condensed version of what happened:

My husband took our kids miniture golfing wityh his family. My son, who is autistic insisted on a pink golf club even though it was the wrong size. When he wouldn't listen to reason, my husband let him choose the color he wanted. His brother, who BTW doesn't have children and doesn't plan on having any, told us we are spoiling our son by letting him have his way. He's lucky I wasn't there because I would have ripped him a new one.

Later, my son got angry because his ball wouldn't go in the hole the first time. He had a fit and my father in law got annoyed and asked why he keeps acting like that.

No matter how many times we tell them that our son does things different, they don't get it and think all he needs is good old fashioned disapline. It's not that simple. It's hard to teach him right from wrong if he doesn't know the difference.

[Asha]

My brother in law and father in law critizied how we raise our son.

Awww, how sad, VB. My brother had a physical handicap growing up, & there were family members (aunts, uncles, grandparents) that just couldn't quite accept him. So I understand & my heart goes out to you! I would've let your son use the pink club, too!

[Roxy Starkey]

so sorry to hear that VB... ((HUGS)) to you and your son...
There are people who just don't get it... that's sad

[mari]

My brother and his girlfriend just split after two and a half years. I believe it was the right thing to do, but it still feels a bit like losing a sister.

[Georgie Girl]

My back hurts & I don't know why.

My back hurts, too, but I know why.

So how long have you two been seeing each other? :eyebrows: :laugh5:

[Georgie Girl]

VB, do your in-laws not understand anything about autism?
Maybe your hubby can educate them when things like that
happen. I imagine it probably would have been no big deal
about the golf club if they hadn't made such an issue of it.

I barely knew what autism was til I got on Links and you,
Marm, and Beatlebangs helped to educate the rest of us.

[Georgie Girl]

My brother and his girlfriend just split after two and a half years. I believe it was the right thing to do, but it still feels a bit like losing a sister.Is it for good? Are you on good terms with the
girlfriend, Mari, that you two could still hang out together?

[Georgie Girl]

Jes and Asha, you need that Swedish man GG knows.....Lucy should you be going to gym with a stomach ache? :afraid2:Sadie, if you're talking about Sven, sorry, but I couldn't possibly spare him this week! :devious:

[mari]

Is it for good? Are you on good terms with the
girlfriend, Mari, that you two could still hang out together?

She lives in a different city (which is the main reason why the relationship didn't work out), so we can't hang out. I have no idea whether or not we'll be chatting online or on the phone. I'm okay with it of we don't, but it's always weird when someone's suddenly out of your life just like that. I've grown fond of her. PLUS - he's my baby brother, and I hate it when things suck for him. Am I my brother's keeper? Yes I am. Beware of darkness, bro.

[Lucy]

I'm tired and have to get up early to go for a run.

[Georgie Girl]

I should be running, too. I tried on some loose flowy tops
with the mod geometric patterns, and I looked like Totie Fields. :rolleyes:

It was cut like this, but in fuschia and black,
and the pattern looked like records were raining down:

[Asha]

So how long have you two been seeing each other? :eyebrows: :laugh5:

It seems to me that about every time I saw you at fest, you were with jes... & about every time I saw jes, he was with you. I should ask you the question, young lady! :laugh5:

[mari]

'Round 'round 'round, Jes gets around..

The thing is, you can't explain things to them because it doesn't sink in. They have a hard time understanding things. You can tell them over and over about something and they won't get it.

[Georgie Girl]

Perhaps the golf club could have been put to better use! :spank: :rolleyes:

[VersusBatman]

LOL!

[Lucy]

Had another day full of annoying work stuff

[Roxy Starkey]

I've been studying, literally, all day for a final exam I have tomorrow...

my brain is dead right now....

[beatles fan]

I have deadlines for before christmas with lots to do, bah, not gunna be fun!

[Asha]

Had another day full of annoying work stuff

You need a holiday! :laugh5:

[oldbeatlechick]

Being messed about at work today and tomorrow looks bad!!!

[Asha]

Being messed about at work today and tomorrow looks bad!!!

Oh no, OBC! I hope things go better than expected at work. I think you're just trying to work up to that relaxing weekend! :laugh5:

[HeyBeatle]

They didn't have Ratatouille at the video store so I'm stuck watching Live free or Die Hard. It sucks out loud. I can barely bring myself to watch it, I figured I'd post on the web.

My husband loses all movie picking priviledges for the rest of time. First Pathfinder then this...sigh

[EasternBird]

My cable box isn't working right. I can still watch TV, but the channel & show info is missing. And I don't want to have to wait around all day for a repairman. :nono4:

[Georgie Girl]

I've been studying, literally, all day for a final exam I have tomorrow...

Hope you get some holidays soon, Rox! :sleep1:

Well, that was very irresponsible of you, leaving such
decisions to the husband! :nono5: :laugh5:

[HeyBeatle]

Well, that was very irresponsible of you, leaving such
decisions to the husband! :nono5: :laugh5:

Well I usually pick the movie cause he won't come with me to the store and since he was nice enough to come with me I figured I'd let him pick the flick.I was sooo wrong.

And we came home to find that George had ripped open my lunch box and eaten the leftover food inside then left a surprise on the floor for us. So much for our experiment on not closing him in the bathroom while we're gone. I wonder how much plastic wrap and lunch bag material we'll find in the next few days. Owning a dog sure is fun. :wink2:

[oldbeatlechick]

Got a really busy day coming up at work!! :sad3:

[Lucy]

Oooh OBC don't over do it! Just think about your trip to help get you through!

[Georgie Girl]

I'm so wound up I don't know if I'll get to sleep. :angry1:

[Mccartneyluvr]

I'm trying to decide if I should have another baby or not. On one hand I already have 2 kids who are older and I really dont want to start all over, by the time they leave the house I'll only be 43, but on the other hand....a baby. *sigh* I dont know.

[sadie]

Depends on if you have the space and money to have another one, I think I will be 110 by the time my boys leave the nest the way the property market is going, they don't stand a chance.

[HoneyPie]

I feel really sick. :dead3:

[Georgie Girl]

I feel really sick. :dead3:
What did you do, HP? Was it the green bean casserole?
Worth every bit of the discomfort, though! :smile2:

[oldbeatlechick]

I feel really sick. :dead3:

Hey HoneyPie you got to be good for New York, look after yourself!! http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa21/oldbeatlechick/Nursesmilie.gif

[HoneyPie]

What did you do, HP? Was it the green bean casserole?
Worth every bit of the discomfort, though! :smile2:

No, I'm just sick. I don't know what's wrong with me :(
Mmm, green bean casserole! I wish we had some. :(

[IWantToTellYou]

My aunt told me that they had their first snowfall in Ottawa this week. We're still snowless, but it is bloody cold!

:cross3:

[Lucy]

I have a busy day tomorrow when all I want to do is stay and home and do nothing!

[Rellevart]

The biggest loser ever in the history of losers EVER just asked me out again. My GOD, do I SEEM that desperate? NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.

[beatlebangs1964]

The biggest loser ever in the history of losers EVER just asked me out again. My GOD, do I SEEM that desperate? NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.

Only 12 times no? If he's as bad as all that, I should think 1,000 times no thank you! :smile1:

Having a car in the shop and none of the rentals don't even open until 9:00 tomorrow and I have to be somewhere at 8:30...:thumbd:

[oldbeatlechick]

I have a busy day tomorrow when all I want to do is stay and home and do nothing!

Awwwww Lucy hope today isn't too busy for you!!


MI........No one is around this morning, they must all be late risers today!!:wink2:

[Georgie Girl]

The biggest loser ever in the history of losers EVER just asked me out again. My GOD, do I SEEM that desperate? NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.
What's the matter with him? Does he have
chest dandruff or something? :laugh2:

You just gotta quit flashing those pink leotards! :laugh5:

[Georgie Girl]

That's a drag--I hate car trouble. :rolleyes:

[jesgear]

Jes and Asha, you need that Swedish man GG knows

Does he have a sister? :eyebrows:

[jesgear]

So how long have you two been seeing each other? :eyebrows: :laugh5:

It seems to me that about every time I saw you at fest, you were with jes... & about every time I saw jes, he was with you. I should ask you the question, young lady! :laugh5:

'Round 'round 'round, Jes gets around..

I'm away from BLinks for just a few days and I return to THIS? ... aww, I missed all you guys

... except Matt :angry1:

[jesgear]

The biggest loser ever in the history of losers EVER just asked me out again. My GOD, do I SEEM that desperate? NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.

I didn't ask you out; where did you get that idea? :sad3:

... although, word on the streets is that I get around :eyebrows:

[Georgie Girl]

Yes but she weighs 300 pounds and has fists like matured hams! http://www.anchoredbygrace.com/smileys/jab.gif

[HoneyPie]

I'm away from BLinks for just a few days and I return to THIS? ... aww, I missed all you guys

Aww, dad's finally back! We missed you!

:afraid5:

[jesgear]

Aww, dad's finally back! We missed you!

"Dad"??? :bigeyes3: I'm not your dad; I'm your uncle.

[HoneyPie]

"Dad"??? :bigeyes3: I'm not your dad; I'm your uncle.

No. You're my dad :)

[jesgear]

No. You're my dad :)

But, you're my niece.

[HoneyPie]

But, you're my niece.

Okay. I'll secretly be your niece, but I'm really your daughter :)

[Georgie Girl]

Jes: I already told you, I ain't your pa. Now drink
your Nehi and eat your Coney Island!

[jesgear]

Mmm, Nehi

[Mccartneyluvr]

Wait, if HP is Jes' neice/secert daugher, what am I to Jes?

[MaccaGirl2891]

I'm not feeling well again. This is annoying.
My brother's leaving for school tomorrow -- he'll be gone for three weeks, though, so it shouldn't be long.

[Mccartneyluvr]

Feel better MaccaGirl.

[Mccartneyluvr]

I gotta go back to work tomorrow and something I really need to get hasnt came in the mail yet. I need it ASAP!

[jesgear]

Wait, if HP is Jes' neice/secert daugher, what am I to Jes?

Well, what is HP to you?

[oldbeatlechick]

I know she's my niece....that girl has so many relatives! :laugh5:

[Mccartneyluvr]

Well, what is HP to you?

I dont know, but I thought you and I had something special, Jes. :cry2: :wink2:

[jesgear]

The plan was for me to be finished packing so that I could begin my move to Des Moines Thursday (my older brother, who was living with my dad, has moved in with his girlfriend, so his room would now be occupied by me and Ringo Cat). I got everything organized in my apartment in Davenport, ready for us to go back and move December 1 (the earliest that my family will be available to assist me). And Thursday I loaded the necessities (my laptop computer with music, my clothing and Ringo Cat and her things) into my car and came up to Des Moines.

The trip was very difficult for RC; she cried the whole three hours. On arriving at Dad's, I was shown to my room and I did what I could to calm her down; she crawled under the bed into the farthest corner and sat with her face to the wall for most of the rest of the evening (broke my heart :cry3: ). She did come out overnight, when things quieted down (Dad's hard-of-hearing and, so, talks on the phone and plays his television very loudly). Friday Ringo Cat spent all day under the bed covers, but came out eventually to investigate the room ... until Dad came home. Saturday she was in and out of the bed covers throughout the day and she seems to be getting used to the noises of her new home.

The biggest negative of my current living situation is that my brother didn't fully move out of his old room; it's very cluttered with many of his belongings. As a hobby, he restores guitars, so there are guitar parts, woodworking equipment and painting supplies scattered all over. Basically, the only room for RC and me is the bed and the area immediately around it; Dad and my brother have arranged to have the rest of my things kept in a storage facility. Of course, I didn't expect to make Dad's home my own, but I'm disappointed and a bit shocked that I'm being allowed so little space.

I discussed my feelings with Dad and my brother and we're working things out, but it's been not easy. They're both very rough around the edges and have trouble understanding that the way I live and keep my living area is different from their style. They're trying to be accomodating and I appreciate IMMENSELY their help and the sacrifices they've made for me ... but the past few days have not been very fun.

... except for the chat Saturday; you all cheered me up :teeth1: THANKS! :thumbu2:

[Mccartneyluvr]

Jes, move to California.

[jesgear]

I dont know, but I thought you and I had something special, Jes. :cry2: :wink2:

:afraid5:

[Mccartneyluvr]

Well, you always offer me your gum, so I thought we were friends....

[jesgear]

Jes, move to California.

I can't imagine how Ringo Cat would react to a drive to California from Iowa.

[jesgear]

Give her Dramamen, that's what I give my kids before a long drive.

MI: I thing I won't be able to finish my Ethnology and Literature projects by Tuesday

[jesgear]

Are you advising that I drug my cat? :afraid2:

[jesgear]

MI: I thing I won't be able to finish my Ethnology and Literature projects by Tuesday

I'll help ya.

[bearkat77]

Had to go in to work today.

[Georgie Girl]

Good luck , Jes and Ringo, with adjusting to the new space. I have had to do the same, but I just moved back to my old room, and Mom and I are going to do what we can to fix up the old house as it is now a fixer-upper. Sounds like you could use some good modular shelves and drawers in the room, maybe a wall system of some kind. Maybe some of your brother's guitars that are the most intact could be mounted on the walls or stored in a way that they don't take up a lot of floor space. I myself have a double bed with plenty of space underneath for large flat clear plastic underbed boxes and a few Spacebags, but even a twin bed can still hide several of these.

[Georgie Girl]

Feeling a bit sickly, will stay home. :dead1:

[Grace]

I'll help ya.

Will you? OK, please write me 15 pages on the topic of the conception of love in Korean culture and bring it tomorrow! :teeth1:


Get well soon, GG!

[Lucy]

So bored at work today.
And lots to do.
Saw a friend on Saturday night and she was very rude as usual and it has reminded me of why I see as little of her as I can.

[beatlebangs1964]

Stupid expressions irritate me. I have never liked "thought to my/him/herself." Who else can you think to, your favorite Beatle? Seems redundant and just plain illogical to me.

Four irritating commercials:

1) Pantene with that auditory atrocity, "Inhibitions." That atrocious song is one I would not wish on anybody, not even Charles Manson!

2) A Ford SUV commercial where a man with an obnoxious girl who blathers away about being dropped off a block from the park because she thinks the SUV ain't a hybrid. I think the guy should make her walk! He did not have to drive her anywhere. I didn't like her tone or attitude.

3) A man and a silly girl are flying kites and the girl asks a lot of stupid questions and makes some really inane comments. To make a bad commercial worse, the silly git suggests that they fly their kites in the rain and closes with "maybe we should get our umbrellas." I don't like that way the girl says such stupid things and comes across as a proper fool!

4) Mastercard where a silhouette of a woman is being followed by an ugly piggy bank. The swine increases in size wherever they go, e.g. cab, hotel, etc. The ugly pig is bad enough, but that irritating whistling makes a bad commercial even worse.

[Asha]

My left eye is weird today. Wonder what's up! :laugh5: :eyepoke:

[MaccaGirl2891]

I'm not sick anymore, but I have a cold. So annoying.
We took my brother back to college yesterday and now it's really quiet again. After we got back from taking him, I looked in his room and I had tears welling in my eyes. Just typing this makes me want to cry! I miss him so much when he's not here. He doesn't know how much. Yes, even though he orders me around and gives me crap, I miss him very much.

[Jania Coyd]

I just finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and I'm really depressed over it...
I've always loved Harry Potter, but now there's nothing to look forward to anymore.
It's all over...

[Asha]

It's all over...

I still need to read mine... I don't know where the time goes... *sigh*

[Jania Coyd]

You don't want it to end, but you really want to know how it ends so it's hard to not read it...
I tried to not read to much, but I failed. I stayed up 'til two last night just so I could finish it. That means I've only slept for five hours, but it was worth it!

[Asha]

Haha! Well, yes, I do need to know how it ends. Hopefully I can read it in December! So far I've only read the first 3-4 chapters! I need to get busy! :cross2:

[Grace]

I started reading it in October and read the half of it (in English :)) but I stopped there. Boring... I still don't know if it's worth finishing it. I don't have time to read it anyway.

[Asha]

I thought the first few chapters were slow. I've read them twice & just can't get into it. How sad, because all the other books I couldn't put down. :blush4:

Why didn't you help me? :devious: I had to work till 3 a.m! :afraid2:

[Magill]

Today's MI: Why must people discuss their private life in a public lunchroom, for everyone to hear? This is called "the quiet room" for a reason. Sheeeesh! I mean, I really don't want to hear about this woman's divorce. :rolleyes:

We have one guy who sits about 2-3 cubicles away from me. I get to hear everything that happens to him on a daily basis about 5-10 times because he has to tell everyone who stops by his cubicle & everyone he talks to on the phone. :laugh5:

[Magill]

Sounds like the guy just over the wall from me. Not only do I know everything about this guy who I call "Meatloaf" (he resembles him greatly) but I hear him snoring at his desk practically every morning. Man, why can't I have a job like that?? :rolleyes: :laugh5:

Bwahaha! I used to sit next to a snorer!!! But he's no longer with us. We also had a guy we just called "nod" because he would nod off. It was funny to just stand back & watch his head go slowly forward & then jump up! :laugh5:

[HeyBeatle]

I thought that I would be off on Christmas Eve but today I come in to workto find a message to the company saying that we will be working a half day. Grrr no one will even call in what's the point. Now all the plans I had for a nice four day weekend are down the crapper.

The big clear-out happens Thursday; my mom (who I haven't seen in three years (?!?! :bigeyes3: ) is coming down for a long weekend then and wants to tackle eradicating the junk from this glorified storage room ... I hope she knows to leave Ringo Cat.

Thanks for all the suggestions; what's a Spacebag, some high-tech sci-fi Star Trek contraption that only Texans know about?

[jesgear]

Why didn't you help me? :devious: I had to work till 3 a.m! :afraid2:

Well, 3AM there is only 6PM here, so there was still time.

Here's what I got so far:

Anyong, Anyong, Anyong, Anyong, Anyong

Oh yes, please do fill me in on Meatloaf! We'll have some time to talk soon! :laugh5:

Tomorrow is our PE lesson. I hate it. I hope we'll do aerobics. Aerobics is fun but I hate it when they make us run for a very long time. Once they made me run for 15 minutes but I was weakened by the recent ilness so I felt terrible and nearly fainted. After that they put me in the easy PE group. And now we do aerobics mostly. But I still don't like it because something they make us do something difficult.

Why is it so hard for some people to take the time to make sure names are spelled correctly. My full name is in my email address at work but yet no one every replies back with it spelled correctly. It's Jacquelyn..... not Jacqueline, Jaclyn or Jacquelynn. I know its minor but it makes me think the other person has no attention to detail.

It was good, though many were claiming to be the last of the royal

Did you see the story recently (last few days) that they may have finally solved the mystery of Anastasia? They may have found a grave of her and her brother a short distance away from the others. Not exactly a romantic ending to the mystery.

According to the book I read, the bodies were initially left in a barn, but Anastasia was still alive, though wounded. Someone got her out of there and hid her. The book included lots of childhood stories and photos, but those, I imagine, could have been published before the Revolution (you say you want a revolution?) and just retold. Interesting story, though. A woman who claimed for years to be Anastasia passed away just a few years ago, may have been her who wrote this book.

I read this at Borders in one sitting (my poor bum :sad3:). It's very funny ... but I did notice a few quotes attributed to John that were actually made by other Beatles. Otherwise, a very cool book :thumbu1:

Small wonder, with the trial coming up soon and facing
all that business with the media and caring for family, too.
You must remember to take good care of yourself, too,

I took the day off work for the show my son was doing, we had to be in at 730am and now I am tired.

[Marmalade Skies]

I just found out that my cousin, Eddie, hung himself this morning.
I was helping my mom get groceries out of the car, and she just blurted “You know Eddie?” and I went “Yeah, Bob’s nephew” and she just looked away and said “They found him dead this morning.”
See, Eddie isn’t blood related to me. He’s my cousin Jess’s cousin on her dad’s side, but our families are really close knit and everyone one my side of the family just always referred to Eddie (and any other kid from that side of the family) as a cousin and all the adults as aunts or uncles.
After hearing from my mom, I called Jess about 7 times and she just finally got back to me now. Poor thing, she’s a wreck. Her whole family is, and Eddie’s mom is a complete mess.
Please send some good vibes are way, ok? :sad1:

[oldbeatlechick]

Oh marms love and hugs go to all of you at this sad time!!:heart1:

[Lynner]

I'm so sorry to hear about Eddie, Marms. Sending you, your and Eddie's family my hugs.

My friend's brother hung himself last year. It was so painful to see her at that time - I'm glad she got over this terrible loss at last.

I am not liking the early wake ups in the cold weather.

[Lucy]

Also I have loads and loads of washing to do and the washing machine is playing up again - it only drains and spins when it feels like it!

[Marmalade Skies]

Thanks everyone. The family is doing much better than we all were before. *hugs*

How old was Eddie, Marm?
He was just barely 24. Can you believe it? 24!

[Georgie Girl]

Thanks everyone. The family is doing much better than we all were before. *hugs*


He was just barely 24. Can you believe it? 24!
Yeah, that's terribly sad to give up on life so young.
He must have been in such pain. For some people,
it's too much. And I do think young people are more
susceptible to suicide because they often don't have the
ability to see beyond the crisis and that there will be a
time when life will be good again. For some of us, that
ability comes with maturing and a changing perspective, if
that makes sense.

Glad it's getting easier for your family now, Marm.
