Feeling like 2023 really wants to make a name for itself.

The yellow left turn signal means YIELD not STOP. Do not sit there and wait through an entire light cycle for a green arrow if there are zero cars coming and the entire intersection is empty.

Please rediscover (or perhaps acquire for the first time) some flexibility and a sense of humor. The superiority gig is getting old.

I didnât care which team won the game until Dak Prescott was booed for winning Walter Payton Man of the Year. Now I have a clear preference ⌠and itâs not the one whose fans booed.

Gardening is war! I had no idea the nettles were already sprouting until I kneeled down on that ground to weed⌠YOWL!!! That still hurts.
Quoting yourself looks pretty silly.
What a bunch of idiots.
Apparently itâs one of two very very serious things. There is treatment for both, but itâs lifelong and requires great inconvenience and, in one case, money. Fingers crossed itâs the less expensive diagnosis.

So you suggest a mean-spirited idea but you want someone else to do it. Figures.
Wow. That was fast.
I am trying so hard not to be grumpy, but for YEARS I have been encouraging you to go to a retirement community. But you wanted to stay in your home. You wouldnât need it. Youâd go when you were drooling - your words. And now you want to go to one, but there isnât a place for you now. You expect so much from me and D and give so little in return. Iâm so tired of it but it will never end. H finally understands why I sometimes wish I was the one who died instead.

A reminder that âsay it hereâ posts must still comply with ToS and that this is a no-response thread

Zip the lip. Donât say a word. Ever. Smile and nod. Hum when you have to. Never say a thing about it. Just accept it. Do not not not not not not say a word. Just deal with it. No point in arguing ahead of time so thereâs no point in complaining after. Think positive!!

Remember the Starland Vocal Band and âAfternoon Delightâ? Fun fact: "âTake Me Home Country Roadsâ is widely recognized as John Denverâs signature song.
Bill Danoff and his wife, Taffy Nivert, wrote the classic song with help from Denver. ⌠Danoff and Nivert performed with Denver at a club in D.C. called The Cellar Door. One night after a show, the three of them went to go have a âjam fest.â The couple had originally wanted to sell their song to Johnny Cash, but they played it for Denver. He absolutely loved it and the trio stayed up all night changing up the lyrics and creating a masterpiece.
Right before the songâs official release in 1971, Denver sang the completed version for the first time at The Cellar Door. He received a five-minute standing ovation â one of their longest of all time." My husband was at this performance.

When S left for college I reluctantly joined his schoolâs FB parent group. I assumed it would be helpful to read othersâ questions, the feedback shared, etc.
I never anticipated the amount of drama that would be exhibited.
Silly me.

And here we go again. 
Active shooter situation at Michigan State, with at least one dead & multiple injured. My S lives in the next town over & he is under the shelter in place order, because the shooter is still on the loose.

You donât even like staying home by yourself - why are you going on a trip by yourself, to a place that has no pool and no gym. It would have been better to pick a place NOT under âreconsider travelâ status with the Dept of State. I know - your friend did it, so youâre going to do it too. You must realize your family will be very worried about you. Please know that people who try to befriend you in that short period are likely NOT doing it to be friendly.

Hours and hours spent over the last six month, both my husband and I, trying to get $200 worth of doctor bills paid correctly by the insurance company. So much incompetence by both the insurance company and the doctorâs office. Hopefully, this is finally resolved.

Been working on a renovation for my D since August â22 kind of long distance (about 35 miles) - itâs been a bear getting supplies, licensed contractors, permits and more - but we are finally in full swing - we passed all preliminary inspections after several tries, and I see the first color going up in the kitchen this morning and that feels like progress! Iâm likely to cry tears of relief and joy when weâre done.
