All right, I might be opening up a giant can of worms here! I thought this could be somewhere to come when you just need to vent about anything!

I'll start it off by talking about the companies where you pay for their service, but if you need them to come and repair something that is generally their fault, they tell you someone will come out like 2 weeks from Thursday, and they will be there somewhere between 8am and 6pm. I'm talking about phone service, internet repair, TV repairmen, etc. So you sit there all day long waiting for this guy to show up. Well now it's 5:30, and no one has come. You have called the company several times during, and they tell you that they are "on their way". You call at 10 minutes to 6, and they tell you that they came and no one was home! WHAT? I wasted my whole day waiting for you! Then of course, their next available appt time is 2 weeks from Thursday again! But don't you dare miss a payment! They certainly know how to get in touch with you then! We line their pockets, and they treat us like they are doing us a favour, while the big shots are sitting in their multi million dollar houses, and laughing all the way to the bank.

Or how about when you call to begin with and you have to go through a hundred and six options for your problem? Then when you finally get to talk to a human, you can't understand a word he/she is saying! The people you are talking to with a company you figured was based in your Country, has hired a company in India, Bangladesh, or Pakistan, to take their calls! It takes 2 hrs just to make a call and get someone to undertand your problem, and you are paying THEM for this?!

All right, there's my rant for the day! Anyone else feel free! B*tch away! ;)

Here's my current rant - my hot water tank started leaking two days ago. I called, the plumber was more than willing to come right over - but I have an oversize, quick recovery tank and he didn't have one in stock. He said he could be here today (Monday).

Fine with me but I had to take the car in to be inspected at 9AM today. I suggested tomorrow would be a better day OR he could call to make sure I'm home. He said he'd call.

Got home at 11AM. He's parked in the driveway, hammering on the door, my dogs are ricochetting off the sofa and the picture window, he "forgot" to call first.

When he handed me the bill he "forgave" the extra half hour he spent sitting in my driveway, waiting for me. How nice of him.

Yes isn't it nice when they "forgive" something, like they are doing you a big favour, for their mistakes or bad memory!

How about this one Judy! There was a lawn service suppose to come and do my yard work. They said they were be here the following Monday, then they called and make up a lame excuse and said they would be here Weds. Then when they didn't show on Weds. I called and called. Always got voicemail. This is a fairly large company! I have never heard a word from them since!

Now this wasn't just this last week or anything. This was two months ago! I have offered to pay friends and even family members to do it, because I can't especially at this point. No one has shown up, and I have weeds as tall as I am. Now it's just not a matter of mowing my lawn! I can't even find Niki in the jungle sometimes for God sakes, and she is missing out on a lot of playtime, because I can't find her balls or toys! :(

Gosh starby, wish I could come and help you with that yard. This may sound funny, but tell the kids that one of your cannabis trees is out there not getting enough sun because the grass and weeds are so high,, they'll run through and tear down that grass to get their 'reward'. Well, maybe it's not such a good idea if the cops hear it, but they'd have to go through the jungle too to find the evidence.

Just thought I'd cheer you up a bit honey.

Pink! That's my vent today. Pink walls, pink flowers, pink trim, pink blanket, pink pillow, pink clothes. Everything is pink!

PINK!

OK, here's my rant...

Today, I spent hours uninstalling a trial version of a security program with all the fixings because I cannot pay to keep it. So, I got some real good freeware that has been rated by confident people. Well after installing them, I noticed that I couln't get into the internet. One of the progs was set so high, that I had a connection, but could not use my browsers... well I finally fixed that.

Now, I'm really mad, because my usual Smiley program - from Smiley Central - is no longer available because one of these super protection programs took it off. Now I had to find another smiley app that would work. Well, I'm not too happy with it, and I miss my regular smileys that I have been using for years.

I still hope that I can find a way to get my old ones back, but if not, I'll just have to get used to the ones available now.

This is in no way as frustrating as your experiences, but I miss my little 'trademarks'

Going to get my next infusion in 2 days and can't wait to see what side-effect will show up after that. If they get too bad, I will discontinue the treatment. The treatment is worse than my monster right now, so cross your fingers.

TTFN,. that's my new mad face.

http://content.sweetim.com/sim/cpie/...s/0002018E.gif

My current rant??

For the first time in my life I've been played. (Thanks for the definition, Alty!) I "knew" that guys could be flirts because, well, hello, I am too. But, as Alty said, there is a huge difference between innocent flirting and leading someone on. Leading someone on is simply playing with someone's heart and emotions and that's just not cool.

I've been played. And honestly? He's a loser. A player and a loser.

I'm beyond the confusion and the "huh?" and have now moved in to the *snap* "You have missed out on it!" and it feels good.

There. That's my rant. :) Thanks, Starby! :)

Hee hee Momma C! Nice scivey's! I wasn't getting any notifications that anyone had written on here. I know how frustrating computers can get Cher, you've definitely heard me talk about that haven't you! ;) I still love your new smiley's! Thanks for cheerin me up! I loved your sisters forever sparkler! :D

Alty, take some Pepto Bismol... It will calm your tummy! LOL!

Sorry to hear about the playa Chicky! They make a bad name for the decent guys! Your welcome. I knew that everyone could use a thread like this if they just wanted to come on for a RAAAWWWHHH or a GRRRRRRRR! :)

Got to run kids! Busy day. Three B'days, and an anniversary today! Maybe that's my next rant, people that I know that all dare to be born on the same day , and the ones that dare to get married on it! LOL! ;)

Chery, those are some flashy panty's, I likey. ;)

Yes, Syndey has pink undies, pink socks, pink clothes, pink elastics for her hair, pin shoes, pink jackets. Really, it's all pink. ;)

My lawn service guy almost never showed up. Now I mow my own lawn. Next year I may buy goats, tether them over here, tether them over there. If the neighbors complain I'll say they are funny looking, exotic dogs.

(Goats eat grass, don't they?)

Hmmm, exotic dogs! Your lawn would get fertilized at the same time! LOL!

Also Momma C, I wanted to mention that I like the idea of telling kids that there is pot growing somewhere in my jungle. Maybe I could tell scary Rhonda that, and she would bring all of her druggie friends with her, and it could be cleaned up in a jiffy! AND this idea may just kill three birds with one stone. If the cops found out, they would at least show up at my house for once when I need them, since they still haven't responded to my last 2 calls, and then I could also tell them that the pot is actually growing across the alley at Scary's house! Good idea Cher! :D

Oh and Judy, maybe if I send the goats across the alley, they can eat Scary's pot, and then they will come back with the munchies, and get the job done quicker! This plan is sounding better all the time! LOL!

My newest rant! I keep hearing my puter ding, and I can't pull myself away! Going now, really... really I am... really! :p

You know what happens next, don't you?

Black undies, black socks, black clothes, black elastic for her purple hair, black shoes, black jackets, black nail polish.

And then you'll long to have pink back in your/her life.

The ring doesn't work, but a chastity belt will! :D

I'll play it safe, both the rings and the belt, a lock on her door, no phone, or internet. Who am I kidding? :o

So tonight, since my van is STILL not running right, and I needed a few things, I decided to call our local deliverery service. I had a long day, and needed about 12 items from 2 different places. One was the grocery store, and the other was the cold beer store. Now keep in mind, that these stores are about 12 city blocks away from where I live, and are directly across the street from each other. I always tell them the store I want them to go to, but they have now changed their rates to a flat $9 no matter how far, and each additional "stop" is $3.50. Again, these places are probably 40 steps from each other.

I called them at 6:30, which I knew was their supper rush, so I told them I was trying to be courteous, and it would be fine if the items were here by around 8:30 or so, when the rush was over. I gave my list, in detail, so there wouldn't be any mistakes. I also told them I wanted them to deliver them to the back gate, and that I would be waiting outside. So 9pm comes, no one. I wait till 9:30 still no one. I call the place, get voicemail. Again I wait. 9:45 they call me.

The store I have asked them to go to is already closed. The driver is at another Supermarket across town, and they want to check on the ammt of ham I want. Did I really want 30 lbs of sliced deli ham! WHAT?? Uhmmm, NO! Why the hell would I want with 30lbs of freakin deli meat!? I'm not hosting a wedding here! Now I really want one of these beers!

Well they called after the driver has already gotten this other store to cut it up. I said too bad, not my mistake. Get what I asked for please. 300kgs! He says she will be here in 15 minutes or so. So again I wait and wait. Now it is 10:50. I call back, again voicemail. At 11 I call again! He says she is pulling up out front. I tell him I asked 4 and a half hrs ago for it to be delivered in the back. He says she's scared because it's dark! Well now I'm furious. I tell him to tell her to suck it up princess, and come around back. I've got a long yard, but walked back and waited, as they will usually carry them to the door for me. Niki was out with me, and now princess is scared of dogs, even though I said Niki will not hurt her. She refuses to carry my groceries, and I'm not about to walk back to the house and put Niki in, and then walk back out just so she can help me, so I tell her to just leave them right there and I'll freakin do it myself.

I pay her, and she gives me a dirty look for not tipping, and charges me the full ammt of delivery plus the other stop, which would have been right across the street if she'd have done her job. I finally get my groceries inside. Now if I asked any of you to buy me paper plates, what would you buy? She bought me tiny paper bowls! She got the brand of cigarettes wrong, I asked for plastic cups, I got styrofoam, and I had asked for plain sliced ham, and she got black forest honey ham! (oh, and forgot to mention, I asked for "Beggin Strips" and I had specified they were a dog treat. I got a pkg of bacon! )

Someone is getting a phone call first thing tomorrow! Grrrrrr!. and she was mad because she didn't get a tip??

Hey Starby... only have a minute before work but I wanted to connect on the thread so that I can get a "ding" and remember then that I have a few rants of my own for later... (mine dings now... )

Starby,, I want to say words that don't look nice in print, so I won't.

So sorry that you had to go through this crap. If I were there, I would have made those calls for you and told them off big-time! But I know you can handle this yourself, you are a strong lady, so I'll just send you good vibes to back you up for tomorrow.

Love you!
Let me at those dumb delivery services!

http://content.sweetim.com/sim/cpie/...s/00020059.gif

OK, Im going to rant a bit here. I was enthralled in the TV series Sleeper Cell, and just as you would figure, the last one they aired, I missed because I forgot to program it into my recorder. That pi§§es me off because by the time they bring the re-run, I'll be gone. Can anyone give me a short recap or tell me how it ended? Sure would be nice. I looked for it on LimeWire, but no luck or I would have illegally watched it then. Finally, though now that the writer's strike is over, I am starting to get 2007 episodes of CSI, Miami CSI, Ghost Whisperer, Medium, and Bones without putting up with re-runs. At least I can count on that.

I'm also getting used to some english language programs from England (BBC) such as Spooks, One Foot in the Grave, My Family, - the last two are funny and I wish I could record them for my daughter. She has a collection of Absolutely Fabulous, and I really enjoyed watching these two ladies doing their thing. Spooks is a spy series and really shows what some people and politicians are capable of. Even though they are just TV shows, you'd be surprised as to how close to the 'real deal' they really are.

I have asked my ex son-in-law (my landlord) to change the filter in the air-vent above my stove because it does not work - smoke all over the place when I bake or fry.. but he has not done it yet and it's been weeks. So, I'm getting mad... I think I will fry some smelly fish, open my door and let the smoke wander through the staircase so that everyone in the house can get a hint. There is no smoke-detector in here or it would go off at least a few times a day. Maybe I should get one and let that thing go off at midnight to wake everyone up. That's what I'll do, if I can find one that I don't have to screw on the ceiling, need it portable so that the noise will carry out into the hallway. Yup, that's my next project. Or I wish I could find one of those blow-horns out of a can, that will wake them up.

Done ranting now, getting ready for my weekend.. gosh, charging my camera, charging my handy, checking if I have enough in my current oxygen bottle, getting several bags ready for my laptop, all the postcards I've received already, and naturally my make-up, medication, and change of clothes. By the time I'm done doing all that, I'll be crispy. Going to shut down my internet and play a game to relax me a bit before I get to the busy stuff.

I hope all of you have a great, and peaceful weekend too.

Lots of Love,

Hi all!

My vent today? People who have no idea how to drive. Do these people become blind, deaf and stupid when they get behind the wheel of a car?

It's a 10 minute drive from my house to the kids school, it took me 30 minutes to get home from the school, mainly because of 2 people who were afraid to turn left at an intersection until there were no cars in sight! Arrrrrrrr! Seriously, I'm suffering from road rage. They are so lucky that I don't live in California, I'd have shot someone today! ;)

Also, for some reason, the moms of the kids that were in Sydney's class last year have been snubbing me this week. Why? I don't know. So, today, when I went to pick up the kids, I asked the main culprit what the heck was going on. Her response "Well, your daughter is in the german immursion class now, why do we still have to talk to you, go make friends with the moms of the kids in Sydney's class. I asked her why she would be so mean. Her response "you obviously think you're better than us, otherwise why would you put your daughter in the German class? Why? Because I'm German dumb a$$, that's why. That's the reason that my kids go to that school, there are schools closer to our house than this one. As for thinking I'm better than them, I'm not the one that stopped talking to them, they are.

Good riddance, I have no use for people like that. :(

Time for a beer! :)

Well... ALL that I can say is that you probably... ARE dear.

EDIT: I thought that I had better clarify that... "you are better than them........"

Off to pick up my 2 nephews and their two girl friends at the airport (one is engaged). I hate Friday rush hour traffic in Chicago... you have to pack a lunch and a washcloth... and a potty!!
Stringer

LOL... was that a rant or a rave? LOLOLOL Stringer, your humor lately has got me rolling!

Momma C, I hope your wkd was a good one! If I was there I would go and slap your ex son-in-law SILLY! I don't know what the laws are there, but here it is illegal for a landlord to rent out a place without a smoke/carbon monoxide detector. They have those new ones now that you can plug in! I would get one of those and set it off at 3am or something just to p*ss them off! Maybe play your music really loud too! Play your Metallica! LOL! That's ridiculous that you have to worry about things like that on top on everything else! Geeezzzz!

I wish I knew what TV show you were talking about. Have you tried to find it on YouTube maybe? They might at least have a clip. I wonder if my ex sis-in-law would know the show. She lives in the UK. I'll ask when I talk to her. That sucks when you watch a show all season long and then miss the finale!

It's rant time! LOL!

Family members who know that it's physically impossible for you to be somewhere, or do something on their time schedule, and then lay down ultimatums and take you on a major guilt trip which has enough energy behind it to send you around the world and back!

Or my extended family in general - for my birthday, my first time out of the house in a very long time, my cousin and his stepfather got into a ferocious argument about where my cousin is or is not going to be buried and why as well as the funeral arrangements. I might mention my cousin is in his late 30's, has no health problems and had no apparent reason for bringing this up. Meanwhile, his mother and the stepfather's wife, my aunt, and my cousin's wife and their children and my other cousins went right on eating like this was normal. My hands were shaking.

So it went like this (and this is no exaggeration) -

"Happy birth-day to you - "

"And another thing - I want bagpipers at the funeral."

"Happy birth-day to you - "

"Bagpipers? What? Are you nuts? We're German. Germans don't have bagpipers."

"Hap-py birth-day dear Jude-y"

"I don't care. It's my funeral I want bagpipers there."

"What? Are you nuts?"

Happy birthday to me.

How about this one, Altenweg:

I love it when you're driving down a road, no one behind you at all. There's a car on a side street (right or left- doesn't matter) and they decide to pull out in front of you causing you to slam on your brakes to avoid an accident and they turn less than a block down the road... as if they couldn't have waited until you had gone by.

Oh Judy, I'm about to blow a gasket today! My family are the worst guilt trippers in the world, and the conversation you just mentioned sounds like something that happens in my family all of the time! Or at times the complete opposite! The tension is so thick, you couldn't cut it with an electric knife!. and everyone is just quietly seething!

I've been guilted all day so bad I could scream! Actually, it didn't start today, but there is an event going on today for Thanksgiving. I've gotten a dozen emails, and the phone has rang since I opened my eyes this morning! I have already turned off my phone, and am not going to answer anymore emails. BUT, I will surely pay for this!

Do you find the "fact" that I'm stalking you adding to your upset? :D You can choose your friends; family is assigned.

And driving - how about those bozos that stay at an intersection, waiting to make a left-hand turn, BEHIND the white line. I'm the one behind them, pounding on the steering wheel and screaming, "Pull into the intersection!" There's a break but they have no time to turn. And so "we" go on waiting.

Yes Judy! Will you stop stalking me! I'm starting to have nightmares! LOL!

Judy, why aren't you stalking me? Aren't I good enough? I want to be stalked too.

Starby always gets the stalkers, it's not fair. :(

Oh, all right, stop whining - I'll start stalking you. Now both of you can keep glancing out your windows to see if I'm out there.

Please leave your curtains open and the inside lights on.

LMAO, will do, but remember, I have lots of protection. Since adding the newest member to my family I now have;

4 rabbits
3 dogs
1 bird
1 fish

It's the fish you have to be worried about, I dare you to stick your finger in his tank. He may just be a goldfish, but he's got spunk. :)

Darnit, have to go finish cooking. If puppy boy lets me I'll come back later. :)

... and here I thought I was the only stalker attracter! I guess it takes the pressure off me though. Judy, please don't mess with my vehicles or continuously call me in the middle of the night for 2 yrs. and make my dog go crazy running and growling from door to door okay! Someone already has that job! LOL!

Well isn't this ironic... speaking of stalkers! Stalker boy strikes again! Why do stupid people get sick pleasure by calling over and over again in the middle of the night, only to say nothing? Well I guess it's better than the "I'm watching you" calls, but it's still a kind of an implied thing now. Two yrs of this has my last nerve frayed!! The cops do nothing, and I end up being awake the entire night! So tired of this dammit! And to think... I've only got 5 months left on a useless "no contact" order! Not even a damn restraining order, which is also just a useless piece of paper, while Nigel goes out and gets loaded and drugged out, and then decides it will be fun to call!

Well I guess since I'm wide awake, I may as well go kick some butt on here. If you see me going off on someone that is just an idiot, you'll know why right? ;)

So sorry this crap is happening again darling. Go to a hardware store and ask about 'horns in a can' or portable fog horns... Then the next time he calls, have Nicki in another room and let that thing do it's damage. The sucker will have a hard time hearing for a while. Makes me p*ssed off and wish I could be there to help. Vent it all my love.. you need to let it out.

Now, is this a scam or for real... It just irks me to get mail like this, not knowing. I bet they want to know all kinds of information to 'confirm'.
Last year they came from Nigeria or Uganda, not they come from China... what next? And to think, the main office is in Japan, and the payment office in China - how stupid do they think we are..! '########

Hi Cher, I was just going to write you an email. I don't have too much time to write much today, because I am "expecting" my brother to be here soon, and he better I tell you!

I got robbed lastnite! I know you probably don't have to ask who was behind that! I was gone to the store for less than half an hr. My door didn't latch again, because dear bro has had more important things to do... like going to the bar maybe... than to show up yet, to fix these things like he was suppose to.

I came home, and had a weird feeling. Something seemed out of place. I brushed it off for awhile, but then I started to notice things. I started to look around, and found out I had money and jewellery stolen, and that my front door was unlocked. It was all of the money I had left until payday, and the jewellery that was taken, quite incoincidentally just happened to be a chain and pendant, that I had made for "N", and took with me when I left. Then this morning, I also noticed that my pain killers were gone too! I can't get them re-filled for another 8 days.

I feel violated! At first I was scared when I finally realised someone had been in here, and then thoughts that there could still be someone here hiding! Then when I ruled that out, it dawned on me, that someone must have been watching me leave. I had taken Niki with me, because she loves her car rides! So they obvously knew that the dog was with me.

The cops didn't show up until about 3 hrs after I called, and then were just useless as usual anyway. They said they were going to investigate, but I know how that usually goes! ;) I think I'm going to lose my ever loving mind!

Oh I hate those things too Cher! I've won more lotteries, gotten more inheritances, and gotten "found" bank acct. money than could last me 2 lifetimes! I feel sorry for the people that actually fall for these things, and send their hard earned money to these scammers!
