<p>LOL UCLA Band Mom!!!</p>
<p>All I’m asking for is to be able to wear a T shirt, shorts and flip flops and not be freezing, …and to see the horizon…
Death Valley? No thanks!!</p>
<p>MTA, what you did today was unpardonable. I am disappointed - once again, I might add - by you. I’m glad to say that the time is approaching when I will no longer have to be a patron of your damnably inefficient services.</p>
<p>UPS - What do you mean you can’t track my package? You have a tracking number on it. You are so quick to post that the package has left the shipping center, but you are telling me you don’t know if the package was put on a truck or not. Are you kidding me??? If it wasn’t put on the truck, then WHY did you post that it had left the shipping center. Then you tell me that the delivery driver doesn’t know what is on his list of deliveries??? Do you think I am a moron? If he doesn’t have a list of deliveries, then WHAT does he do all day? Drive around and randomly drop off packages at random addresses? Then you say you are not responsible for letting anyone know the package is lost? Is that WHY you keep changing the delivery day to the next day - to cover your butts? Total idiots!!!</p>
<p>Errr! It is now 8:15-ish and my son’s psychiatrist canceled. How is it you can charge us money if we cancel, but all you has to “pay” when you cancels is a “oops, sorry.” The appointment was rescheduled once already from last week to tonight. </p>
<p>Then, you called earlier to push the time from 8:00 to 8:30. I wouldn’t feel quite so frustrated, except that I rescheduled my other options I had planned. I had wanted to see my mom, which I couldn’t do Monday, last night or tomorrow night and weekends don’t work well because of traffic issues.</p>
<p>ERRRRRRR!</p>
<p>Stop telling me to, “Sell my house.” If you want to sell your house, THEN LOWER YOUR ASKING PRICE.</p>
<p>I can’t believe there is now a “uniform” in our public schools. What is wrong with you people? If you want your child to wear a uniform, put your kid in a uniform. But, why are you forcing this uniform on the rest of the kids? Polos and collared shirts? Seriously? I am voting out every single school board commissioner when election time rolls around. You people are idiots. By the way - the idiot leading this charge claims this will prevent the four “B’s” from hanging out - boobs, bellies, butts, and behinds. What an idiot.</p>
<p>— I’m a student not a parent but I need to vent! —
Do you realize how annoying you are? Do you? And how stubborn and selfish and stupid you sound sometimes?
You brag and think you know everything because you’re what - 16 now and can drive? Please, please, please do us all a favor and shut up. Because you have NO idea.
And even though you’re my cousin, I was the one that was offered this trip to California – not you! You’re the one that had to beg to come and now what, you’re gonna stay til Christmas? And put out your aunt and uncle because you friggin want your car?
You seriously were this close to ruining my vacation by being here and wanting to do what you wanted to do - even though you lived here for 12 freakin years! And I never get the see my aunts and uncles and you DO! And you managed to taint it.
Seriously. You’re not funny and you’re not cute and I’m so glad I’m leaving your fake, buck toothed self tomorrow.</p>
<p>Enough already. Grow the hell up.</p>
<p>Helpful hint: if you want more contact with your grandchildren, don’t spend three hours belittling them when they do make the effort to visit you. Your youngest granddaughter is hurt; worse for you, the middle one is mad, and she won’t get over it quickly. You may not like their politics. You may feel that they’re getting above their station because they attend/attended excellent schools and actually read books in their free time. :rolleyes: But they aren’t trying to outshine you or your daughter’s children. That’s in your own self-centered excuse for a mind.</p>
<p>I haven’t confronted you about the mean little shots you’ve sent my way for more than 30 years because I don’t want to put your son in a difficult position. You’ve had a hard life and I’m sincerely sorry for all the pain you’ve experienced. But my kids are off-limits for picking on. And what kind of grandmother does that??? (Btw, one of the grandsons you think are so much better has multiple arrests to his credit, including one for felony drug possession. The other one should get his ass in gear if he wants to win the little competition he’s set up with his cousin. He doesn’t sound all that bright when he tells her that the only reason she did so well in school is because she works harder. Um, really? So he’s smarter because he works less hard and has less to show for it?)</p>
<p>I am so, so sorry for your loss. No one should ever have to find their 16 yr old son deceased. I cannot fathom your pain. I hope I will have words to console you when I pay a shivah call.</p>
<p>Good triumphs. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.</p>
<p>You are a drunk. And you always say that you are never going to drink again - when was the last time you said, not even a month ago? - and I come back from Cali to find you back to your old habits once again. And then you get mad when no one believes you?
You need help or you need to change or something needs to happen because I am SO sick of the way you act when you get like that. I just don’t care anymore.
Go ahead - ruin your life.</p>
<p>Just because you’re in med school doesn’t mean that the only information worth knowing about the human body is what you learn there. If I send you a link or an article from the New York Times now and then, you could read them and thank me. </p>
<p>“How sharper than a serpent’s tooth to have a thankless child.”</p>
<p>Will you please, please show a little bit of excitement about going away to college, at least for my sake? I know it’s only 50 miles away and not your first-choice school but they did make it worth your while financially. Heck, at least you’re going away to live in the dorms. I didn’t even get to do that! I know you’ve been going to this city to visit your grandparents and go to football games your entire life, but being a student is different, I promise! So please, show a little enthusiasm!</p>
<p>I raised you to be strong and independent. My goal for 13 years was for you to get into the college of your choice. Now you’ve done that, and you’re headed to a wonderful college that you’re very excited about.</p>
<p>And I don’t want you to go.</p>
<p>I don’t want you to be 750 miles away from me. I don’t want to miss being part of your everyday life, hearing the fun stuff and your frustrations, and knowing your friends. My biggest fear is that you will love it there and you won’t come home - for breaks, or when you graduate. </p>
<p>But I can’t hold you back. It’s not fair to you. I had my 18 years with you, now it’s your turn to decide what the rest of your life will be. </p>
<p>But I’m dreading the day you leave.</p>
<p>Good bye my love. This song is for you.</p>
<p>Landslide by Stevie Nicks</p>
<p>"I took my love and took it down
I climbed a mountain, I turned around
And I saw my reflection in a snow covered hill
'til a landslide brought it down </p>
<p>Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?</p>
<p>Well, I’ve been afraid of changing cause I’ve
Built my life around you
Time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I’m getting older, too
I’m getting older, too</p>
<p>I took my love and took it down
I climbed a mountain, I turned around
And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hill
The landslide brought it down
The landslide brought it down"</p>
<p>Have a wonderful, dazzling, crazy-amazing time in college! Remember I’ll always be here for you. love mommy</p>
<p>Note to self: stay away from Petfinder! Two cats and a dog is more than we need at the moment.</p>
<p>You’re only making things worse by doing this to yourself. Can’t you see? You need to stop.</p>
<p>Now.</p>
<p>10000 channels of junk. Just please what number has Project Runway please? My thumb hurts.</p>
<p>Common questions concerning international aid, in state residency, effect of supplements/“is it good enough” type threads are a dime a dozen.</p>
<p>Most of these are not “special cases”, and it’s not necessary to think your specific situation is unique, although you may think so. Yes, a few of them truly are, but for most of these questions are easily answered if you take the time to look.</p>
<p>And take a minute or two to think about your question and post it to the appropriate forum.</p>
<p>/end of rant.</p>
