It never ceases to amaze me and it saddens me to see the lengths some will go to in an effort to excuse racist behavior even when there is video and eyewitness evidence of such. [-(
Iâm really trying to be a good friend while you are going through this divorce. My H wanted to help you move. But his dad was having surgery and you have adult kids who are helping.
But when you called me 3 times after I told you he had a conflict when you first asked, I am getting annoyed. You are so particular and want everything your way all the time. Itâs something I wish I hadnât learned about you during this process
I quit the paying job, I can ^%$# well quit volunteering my professional skills 20 hours a week, too. Put your ego aside and think about what is the best thing for this organization, not your little clique.
I confided in a close friend that my kidâs PSAT scores were mediocre. A month later, he was sitting between me and another parent, bragging to the other parent about how his kid got high PSAT scores and was excited to be getting lots of mail from colleges. He might have not realized I could hear him or forgotten what I told him, but I doubt it.
On April 11 I posted here (#16782) of your diagnosis. Today you are gone. This is so unfair and so painfully sad.
Anyone with half a brain knows itâs âVoila,â a French word that means âThere it is.â Apparently the latest uneducated thing is just to write âWallah.â Jeez.
The name of the college is âBerkeleyâ not Berkly or BerkelyâŠIf you donât even know how to spell the name of the college correctly, how can we take anything you say about said college, seriously?
Someone must have been getting a lot of Holiday Inn Express points lately. Rolleye.
âWe found that the campus grounds were not well manicured. I wonder if itâs because of all the financial aid they give away.â Perhaps you can loan them one of your groundskeepers :bz
Four weeks post breakup: Too busy to call home. I donât know what heâs up to, and thatâs a good thing.
I can only hope that you understood that I will take responsibility for the decisions made and will not need to
blame anyone else. I am so sorry that you have/are having such a hard time figuring things out.
Itâs really not necessary to be a naysayer all the time.
PARAGRAPHS, people!
This visit to where I could be WITHOUT my college education makes me so glad that I do have it and that much more determined to make sure my kids have a plan for their own future. So proud that I can offer them college as one option.
Iâve lost eight pounds in the last ten days because of an allergy triggered GI crisis. Yesterday and today have been better so Iâm hopeful itâs stabilizing. Thank you antihistamine and VSL#3. I really need my gut to start behaving if Iâm going to drive long distances. (But I admit I broke down and had a couple cookies for my mental health.)
Doctorâs office did not call about Dâs test results before the weekend, even though we called them and requested a call. I hope that means itâs not the worst news.
For now, we are going forward with the plan to move D to the Midwest next week to start her first real job, her dream job.
I hope she can find all the specialists she needs within a reasonable distance, and there is no need for a new type of specialist.
Please donât die, please donât die, please donât die.
Mexicans. Itâs Mexicans who also were insulted.
My godkitty is going to join her brother at the other end of the rainbow bridge soon. I have a feeling that tonight I saw her for the last time. I am so grateful to my friend who decided to keep both of these two scrawny stray kittens we found, washed, and brought to her in a gift box (she wanted a cat but was unsure how to find âthe one.â) Ms M and her brother - our âgodkittiesâ - had wonderful lives, but every life comes to an end. I just wish purry kitties lived a little longer! 
One more vent regarding the way a parent announces a childâs college decision on --as you might guessâfacebook! A neighborâs son recently got into a first choice school, a top ranked national university (a not so rare occurrence in our area) and posts: âCongrats to S on achieving his dream. We are over the moon!â I feel like responding: Isnât this really your and your familyâs dream that you instilled in him to be his own?" Would you be any less âover the moonâ if he chose another college or university? Students can do well and be happy at many schools, there is not just âoneâ dream school. You make it seem like this is an end goal rather than a means to an end. If so, what will be left for your child to strive for? IMO college is part of a continuum of learning and a dream achieved is what you say in adulthood and means successful career, family, friends and a happiness with oneâs self and oneâs life. Announcing your sonâs college choice is certainly a noteworthy achievement for which you should be proud. But a âdream achieved?ââI think not! And âover the moonâ?âI think âWhoa!, this is just undergrad, chill a bit.â
You are wonderfully articulate when it comes to telling everyone how important you are at your job. Iâm sure communication skills are an integral part of your job description. So, when it comes to family matters donât just say âI didnât know or I wasnât sure.â There is a magical device called a phone. You can call, text or email on it. You hurt your brotherâs feelings by not including him in an important family event. He would never treat you in this manner. I know, Iâve been married to him for over 30 years and he has never slighted you, your husband or your kids. Sometimes the people who are suppose to love you the most, hurt you the most.
