Say it here cause you can't say it directly- the get it off your chest thread (Part 1)

I know you believe that you are where you are because of your wise moral choices, and maybe there is some truth to that, but can any part of you just admit that less priviledged people might not have had the opportunity to make the same choices?

I tried to read your full response, but gave up at about the 8th paragraph. Can you maybe paraphrase your thoughts?

Yay, I think we found an excellent geriatric specialist for my parents!! Itā€™s a concierge practice and not cheap, but we can call his cell phone 24/7. What a difference! The doctor comes highly recommended online and by another medical provider. :slight_smile:

You go girl!!!(girls)

I donā€™t know who you are, but that was really out of line. Asking a question is different from making an accusation in the form of a question.

If I got caught doing the things that you did at work I would apologize and ask for another chance to make it right instead of being petty, blame shifting and trying to take someone else down with you. Your actions are digging a deeper hole for you and for some reason Iā€™m feeling bad for you because I donā€™t think you can see how you are the problem and not everyone else.

Saying anyone can get into ā€œthatā€ college is rude. To defend it as ā€œhumorā€ is even worse.

God ā€“ please, just leave the house from time to time.

This is why you donā€™t go to open houses so very, very far out of your price range. Of course everything else you are looking at canā€™t measure up to ā€œthat houseā€. Even though you say - it was a little too big, I donā€™t need that many bathrooms - it doesnā€™t matter; you arenā€™t going to find a house that nice with one less bedroom and bathroom in your price range.

Kind of reminds me of people on cc who take their kids to visit ultra reaches (and they fall in love) before they have some matches and safeties that they would be happy to attend.

When you spend #LoveYourPetDay with an emergency visit to the vet thinking all of a sudden you might lose him. (heā€™s stable at the moment and home, congestive heart failure, but ā€œhopefullyā€ treatable).

If the apple doesnā€™t fall too far from the tree and this attitude came through on the apps, the outcomes are no surprise.

I know I should report that thread but itā€™s far too amusing!

Oh, but I am so ready for vacation.

You were the most perfect first pet ever for our family Charlie - you leave a big hole in our big heart for you. <3

Deny is a ditransitive verb, meaning it requires two objects. A school might deny you(1) admission(2). A school doesnā€™t deny you(1); the word you want if you only use one object is reject.

This part of the waiting is the hardest part!

Peace and a clean house, less than 24 hours away. Iā€™ll have two of the next three weeks solo. Let the reorganization of the sewing room begin! Hope I can handle it.

So now you have an opinion on redecorating, and it blows the whole design up. You really need to have all of your little Knick knack things in that particular curio cabinet? You need to keep certain furniture pieces you didnā€™t say earlier that you wanted to keep? We incorporated your parentsā€™ grandfather clock & she found a really cool cabinet for displaying your collections. But you donā€™t like it. So much for me getting an adult home. I feel like I have lived in a hodgepodge forever. I have no idea how we are going to decorate for your tastes while trying to give me something I want. And now I need to put off the family room because you want something we canā€™t do in the space we have. I just want a new house. That way, we have to start fresh.

ā€œMy work here is doneā€ sounds too final, but really Iā€™m ecstatic that D1 has a new job and D2 has a grand job offer. And, thereā€™s no more tuition payments. But I do think we need to hoard some money for another wedding. And, itā€™s likely that our travel costs will be sky high this year. Thereā€™s much to celebrate. (Can someone make that C-Virus go away?)

This is the hardest thing Iā€™ve ever had to do. Taking care of my dad in hospice while my son is in a psych hospital 2,500 miles away. Iā€™m just not allowing myself to think about it much or I would break down.
