If you are going to title your thread “Am I screwed?” please know that it will take all my will power not to write “Yes, you are.” >:)
When it comes to the options my son has, wish I was poor like my parents were. There…I said it!!! 
Dear the company that I applied internship to,
although it really stings that I didn’t even get an internship, I am somewhat glad that I wno’t be working for you. Apparently, your company has a horrific management due to culture clash and your stubborn, patriarchal, authoritarian atmosphere. This is why I don’t like my own country. Even when I m not there, you somehow manage to anony me.
I have a very small family. Most of the close ones are dead. However, I do have SOME family members whom I consider to be immediate family - brothers.
Not one member of my family is coming to either of my daughters’ weddings. It seems it never crossed any of their minds that they would come.
Oh.
Patents who expect private and OOS publics to be as inexpensive as their in state public colleges.
Being second guessed constantly is exhausting
Still looking for that unlike button. Why do adults have to be so harsh and supercilious with teens who are just at the beginning of trying to figure things out when they’ve clearly had a jump start?
Crossing my fingers that Dd’s 3rd and final interview goes well tomorrow and that she reaches there safely in the predicted rain, sleet, and snow.
I am SO SICK of snow!
I think we all need to lighten up just a wee bit.
Huh, it seems very weird that DH turns 64 today. How did that happen?? Thank goodness he is in great shape and looks like he’s 50 (acquaintances never believe me when I tell them his age).
No, I don’t think it’s appropriate of my Dean to suggest the faculty would do a better job if we brought “nutritious snacks” for our students every day. This is college–not kindergarten. No pay raise for seven years, and now you want me to bring snacks every day?
All I said was “you look tired.” Why are you offended?
I’m so crabby the only thing I’ve done at work is put all my loose rubber bands into a ball.
My, my. Someone is getting really angry.
I don’t have the words or even the energy to express my feelings about your latest idea. All I can say is that you’ve crossed a line this time and as far as I’m concerned there’s no going back. Unfortunately, I know that you will twist this every which way to make it so that you are right and I am wrong. I’ve been dreading going home all day - how sad is that?? This latest thing has me resenting you, and seeing many of the decisions made during our marriage in a whole new light. It was all to benefit YOU and only you.
It’s bad enough that yesterday was apparently “bad customer service day”, now today is apparently “mean people who don’t want to give me back my money day”. Nooooo, squid-brained mortgage company, I am not going to wait until next year to get a refund for my property taxes which you paid, after I paid them already and you said you wouldn’t pay them. No, it’s not on me to solve this problem, but I will. And then I will strip that escrow account to the bone because I don’t trust you. Not at all.
There are groups of people who think they know it all. And they all like one another.
I am afraid my oldest D will be unhappy when she moves home after graduation. Please God help her fill her life with interesting and fun people and opportunities, she really deserves some happiness.
So, you and your kid put on an unpleasant show in front of a captive audience --and then you blame the audience for “looking at you?”
