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

How could it have taken me all these years to realize that I dodged a huge bullet back then? Wow was I stupid!

The press conference on last weekā€™s school shooting was interrupted by todayā€™s school shooting. Seriously.

If you want a summer job, you have to actually get off your butt and apply. Today, before the 3 day weekend starts. Stop procrastinating.

To the PU (parental unit):

I blocked you on Face Plant for a reason. And that was years ago now. Youā€™re just bringing it up now? Youā€™d have a better relationship with your grandchildren if you didnā€™t act like such a self-absorbed horseā€™s butt. Real life happens outside of social media. The world does not revolve around you. Or maybe thatā€™s the problem. Youā€™re angry with the world because it doesnā€™t revolve around you. When everybody around you are buttholes, then look in the mirror and thereā€™s the butthole.

2 of your siblings are in memory care facilities with dementia problems, yet youā€™re angry with them because when you call them, they donā€™t ask how you are doing. Youā€™re lucky they even remember who you are. Get a grip.

I hope that you will pull your head out of your rear end some day but I kind of doubt that will ever happen.

Lacrosse season is long. Post season is longer. Iā€™m bringing margaritas to the game.

The fact that I need to explain to you why creating a memorial t-shirt with a logo depicting a Knight ā€œprotectingā€ an Indian on bended knee is not a good idea speaks more about you than meā€¦

The settingā€¦wedding ceremony for middle aged couple. Second marriage for both. Casual atmosphere. Hawaiian shirts and floral dresses. Top of the line California wines, boutique micro brewery beers, food that would make Martha Steward proud. Andā€¦in the redwood groveā€¦a 420 edibles bar.

Okay, call me surprised.

Can these hs and college kids please quit blanket tellng other kids they have a great chance or great ECs, just to seem nice and knowledgable? Lol.

Glad you are putting things together.

This weekend is about your granddaughterā€™s graduation, not about you!

Traveling six hours from home with pneumonia and forgetting your antibioticā€¦really?

Wish we had more friends like #17186.

Three hours in the sun at my sisterā€™s new pool, and Iā€™m a new woman!!

Man, Iā€™ve missed warm temperatures and sunlight!!!

He is an adult. Let him decide for himself. You just get to watch.

Thank you, alternator in dicey kidā€™s car, for deciding to go on the fritz while she was doing local errands rather than on her planned long distance drive tomorrow.

Also, thank you Amtrak for a reasonably priced train at 6 am.

Tis the season.

Lots and lots of ā€œWill I be rescinded?ā€ threads replacing the ā€œIā€™m so smart Iā€™m taking a full load of the hardest courses my school offersā€ threads.

Please kids, give it some thought before you sign up for your senior year classes. Yes, of course you should be challenged. But thereā€™s a world of difference between ā€œchallengedā€ and ā€œburied.ā€

Whatā€™s it like to drive north through Nevada, and keep going, in a car full of cacti, plus a dog Iā€™m probably allergic to? Iā€™m about to find out!

Iā€™m going to delete the specific law thatā€™s being described, but here is the wording of a question on the upcoming Maine ballot:

ā€œDo you want to reject the parts of a new law that would delay the use of ______ until 2022, and then retain the method only if the constitution is amended by December 1, 2021, to allow ______?ā€

I wonder what percentage of the electorate will vote the way they intend toā€¦

Far more humorous than anything elseā€¦

Dh gets a Happy Birthday email from our local blood donation group, complete with cupcakes and candles in the picture - nothing else - no request to donate, etc.

In the small print it says:

ā€œIf you have been told previously by ______ or another blood center that you should never donate blood, please disregard this message.ā€

So apparently, if one gets deferred from donating blood, they do NOT get Happy Birthday wishes! :wink:

You can sugarcoat it all you want, try to twist it; but the meaning was clear, it was offensive, own it. Just not willing to let it slide yet again.
