When I look at this snow, and know how much more is coming, I feel like Boxer the Horse settling his shoulders for the next windmill building. At least the glue factory truck will not be able to get through to our unplowed street. 
I love you with all my heart and soul, and I hurt for you. I wish I could help you, but you have to help yourself. Please stop selling yourself short, and if you need to get professional help, please do that. You are an adult now, and I canāt make things better for you. Itās on you now. But itās still on me, because that is how it is.
Looking forward to Grand Cayman, but please oh please, donāt let the weather interfere with all 5 of us meeting at the airport for the flight.
I know you are depressed and miserable and so wrapped up in your self that you cant see anything, but couldnāt you have put a reminder on your phone to send your daughter a happy birthday txt. She has one more year before college and then she flyās the nest. I just want to slap you!
I told you when we got a divorce how my father treated me and my sister basically acted like we where afterthoughts and the new wifes kid where the catās meow. You swore up and down that you would be there for her always, Guess what you are letting your weight, your depression get in the way. You are NOT there for her!
Being morbidly obese is NOT a disability and an excuse to work from home full time I hope they deny it! Go to the doctors get treatment for your depression, seek weight loss counseling. Be a father to your daughter!
As a girlfriend of mine used to say āNot that Iām bitter or anythingāā¦
Iām ticked off that I put in so many extra unpaid hours before taking a family leave, only to wind up with someone else screwing up our most important database. DONāT OFFER TO FIX IT. Iāll do it when I get back.
And since I wonāt be back for long, you should try to figure out how NOT to screw it up.
Kind of irritated. Send a quilt in to a well known company to be machine quilted on Nov.16 by priority mail. I tracked the package and it did arrive within 3 days. On Jan 4 received an email that my ābeautiful quilt has arrived and is ready to be quiltedā. What? It should be completed by now. Your company advertises a 6-8 week turnaround. When I sent an email as to why my quilt was just now being put in the queue for quilting I received a non satisfactory reply that the entire quilting department has been closed for several weeks so they could help other depts. If thatās the case, why not send an email to everyone that has placed an order telling them of the delay? I guess I just wanted an honest explanation and an apology.
Iām really sick and tired of negotiating every little transaction.
Poof! Just like that, you are gone again. It was a really great winter break. I love you sweet daughter. Safe travels back to school.
Please just apply for some internships already!!! Applying is not a commitment by either side.
You left me a long voice mail apologizing for dragging me down with your ever present litany of woes. But you proceeded to list them, anyway. What a downer.
And each of them is a problem you caused or failed to take action on.
OK, I know your plans to move down south have derailed, though Iām not sure of the details. Theyāre none of my business.
I know you closed on you NY house, and that youāre paying the new owner rent to live in it.
Itās been close to SIX WEEKS since you closed, and you still have no concrete plans to move.
And youāve been a wonderful neighbor and a good friend.Weāll miss you so much.
BUTā¦ two things I would love to say if I didnāt think they would hurt you:
- You did a really, really crappy thing to your kids. Your son didn't play football because you were moving. He missed his Junior year on the team because you couldn't get your act together.He's on the spectrum and new friends don't come easily to him... the kids on that team were his brothers.
Both your kids are in limbo. Your daughter is failing everything, because shesā sure these grades wonāt count. Itās not about a learning disability, itās because sheās assuming each week is her last. Sheās going to end up repeating her freshman year.
And both your kids could have gotten the Excelsior scholarship-- basically a free college degree-- had you chosen to wait another 5 or 6 years to move.
- It is absolutely irresponsible to not have the basic necessities of life in NY in January. How is it possible that you have only 4 towels in your house-- for a family of 4? Or that your 16 year old son doesn't have a belt? Or that neither he nor your husband has a pair of gloves?? The windchill now is something like -5 degrees... that means your daughter needs more than a hoodie, she needs a winter coat!!!!!
I was more than happy to give you what you needed yesterday. Like every other family we know we have extras of almost everythingā¦ but you should have spoken up. Seriouslyā¦ the only shoes you had were slippers and flip flops?? In NY in January???
Better yet, you should have ensured that your family had what it needed. All the name brand stuff you got the kids for Christmas-- the price of ONE of those gifts,spent at Walmart, would have ensured that your family was warm in these bitter days. Packing all the winter stuff in July because you thought you would be down south by now was fine. But when it didnāt happen, you had a responsibility to your kids-- to make sure they had gloves to wear in the snow.
PLEASE, get your act together!!!
I did not ask for your opinion so what you think is irrelevant to me . Every statement made is not an invitation for your input.
I hope you eat lunch before you come over. Iām over hangry.
Yup, barely 24 hours before someone flew into a swivet. Did you even read the text I attached to that link?
Football is great and all, but I wish our schoolās students talk about something else, too , like how great our business school isā¦
Biting my tongueā¦biting my tongueā¦biting my tongueā¦
People ho live in glass housesā¦
Iām noticing an interesting byproduct of my sister and husband filing for divorce after 20 plus years. My husband must be terrified. We are doing great as a couple but news of the divorce has shaken him. He is a ādo 'erā and he is doing so much around the house I can barely keep up! We have lived here for 15 years and I finally have door trim in the walk in closet. Went furniture shopping with me. Hung blinds in three rooms with nary a snarky comment on the need for new blinds (one blind had been in the room patiently waiting to be hung since April). Iām balancing getting things done off of my perpetual to do list and not overdoing it and ruining the mood!
Oh boy, another crazy know-it-allā¦ smile, nod, keep on doing your own thing. 
I reached out because thatās who I am. You didnāt respond because thatās who you are.
