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

I forbid family drama over this. Get over it. Your dad and I have.

Some of the things I read here make me want to hug my own kids.

Tonight, I think I’ll stop at Carvel for them. They make me so proud!

It never ceases to amaze me the number of posts about fitting in in the South, yet I have yet to see one by a Southern student being worried about attending school in the North. Makes me wonder who is open minded and who isn’t .

I am glad to have you over for Thanksgiving, and I understand that you are 76 years old and set in your ways, but you must not make one single comment about the race of S’s girlfriend. She is a wonderful person, and our guest. If you offend her, I just don’t know what I will do.

I am sad.

DH and I will be alone this Thanksgiving. We’re having a Friendsgiving on Friday night, which will be fun, but still.

And so far, for Christmas, we’ve not been able to find anyone to babysit our dogs so we can visit our sons. We may be alone on that holiday too. Our sons live way too far away and get way too little time off for them to come visit us.

So I am sad.

Next life, I’ll stick with cats. Way easier to deal with for travel.

I swear to God I cannot be polite again when you start with your mansplaining about women’s issues and repeating things you heard on your men’s rights youtube videos. I pushed back calming and persistently and finally you shut up. Next time I may just walk out.

My homework: not worry that verbally pushing back harder will embarrass my sibling.

The # of emails from retail places in my account is really annoying this time of year!

You and your friends put on the greatest performance I have ever witnessed in my life.

I cannot believe that these talented singers and actors are my own son and his best friends, several of whom are on stage for the very first time.

I was in awe and moved to tears and I am so happy that you were able to share this special moment with your fellow seniors.

If you do end up at the same college with several of your friends, I hope you will participate together in many more shows.

I thought I was doing something nice for you and instead I get to hear your complaints about it second hand. You’ve made it clear dear sis comes first, now you’ve made it clear that nothing I ever do is right as far as you’re concerned. I won’t trouble you with invitations ever again, dearest Mother.

You are lovely people. I understand that you love getting together twice a week to play this game.
Do you realize that is a 6 plus hour commitment. To sit. To listen to repetitive chatter (you really need new
one liners as your typical has grown stale). I am exhausted when I get home. I will hang in there until Feb.
only because I was the one who orchestrated the entire thing.
Mainly, I just feel so very different from the 3 of you. Don’t you get tired of chit chat?

It is not even 3 pm, and the lights on my garage think it is evening. The sunset is at 4:30-ish. Welcome to my neck of the woods! :slight_smile:

Concussions suck.

Hey Amazon,
I signed up for an Audible trial and declined when you asked if I wanted to continue the service. So, how long exactly have you been charging my credit card without my knowledge?

You do NOT have the right to post about her death on FB - and tag both her and her mom. Did you not bother to notice that there is nothing on either of their FB accounts about it? Did you not bother to think that maybe this is not the forum her mother would have chosen to let others know of her very sudden death (that was just yesterday)? You are so very, very selfish. I know all you were thinking about was garnering sympathy for yourself. You are selfish, selfish, selfish.

Thank you, Chance the Rapper, Keenan Thompson, and Chris Redd, for making me laugh and cry at the same time.

Ugh just wasted 4 egg whtis, 6 eggs, half of butter substitue and coconut milk. Never using Brummel Brown for cake again! It’s so salty and watery.

Idiot child almost missed her airport shuttle. “I thought it was 4:15”. When is the 4 o’clock shuttle ever at 4:15?

I know she has trouble underestimating the time it takes to do things, but after missing several flights or shuttles in her life you would THINK she might be a little WARY of trusting her own brain to figure out this stuff ALONE!

Drinking whiskey now


To my daughter, I will never be able to express how much you have helped me with advice you give me months ago.
To the person who crosssed me, I have never considered myself a vengeful person , but you will soon be facing the consequences of what your poor and selfish actions have done , even though you thought you were going to get away with it.

What is wrong with you? What are you up to all day in that office?

That problem happened in my classroom. You are lucky that I am not the hysterical type.

Mister is “rerouting a vent”. I suppose the drywall mess is ginormous. I will either have to say a payer or a curse word when I se it. I think I will have a glass of wine as a third alternative
