Ever just want to tear your hair out, or someone else's? If you cannot restore a sense of balance, you will run away from home? Just want to say some things without the constraints of staying on topic? Well, this thread is for you! If you just need a short break to let it all hang out, be a brat, then come on, you can do it. No holding back! Go for it, you can do it.
Always true to my nature, complete with major procrastination disorder, I may be looking forward to the adrenaline rush on April 15th, the late night ride to the main post office with my own hand-written form addressed with two stamps, and hubs riding along after plying him with an In N Out visit just for coming along. Ha ha, the midnight rider!
Get some well deserved rest, okay?
People know and understand drinking coffee at 10 p.m. is not a good idea if one needs to get some sleep. It was good though, a cafe` mocha, and a brownie! Got our shopping done at the creepy late-nite store, absolutely no one was in the check-out line just before midnight closing. Missed dinner because of the brownie..But then, talked to some wonderful people later,
some supportive and others needing support. 24/7 hours of amazing on here! Bedtime should be earlier tonight, really? Of course, I am an adult, can self-regulate my health, make wise choices, be responsible, and all that jazz.
Send I know you were up late last night, no coffee for you tonight. Sleep well!! Only going on 9pm for us in the pacific time zone so have a good night, I just shared some popcorn with Midget and Tiger.
I wasn't in the mood to open cans and empty them so I just put them in the recycle bin full - whatever scavenger comes around to pick cans and bottles out of the trash is going to have a heavy load
Madge, I did that with the bathroom cabinet too - I hadn't touched it since I moved in, but after Mom passed away, I realized I was just avoiding the inevitable. It was hard, because Dad's cologne was in there, which brought back memories that were hard to deal with, but in the next moment, I was laughing because I found Mom's deodorant stick, which hadn't been used in YEARS. Literally, years - did you know deodorant turns BROWN if not used for several years? Gross, gross, gross. I had to laugh, though - only Mom would leave the deodorant in the cabinet but not use it, until it was so old it was ready to grow fur and walk away under its own steam. God forbid she should throw it away!
Gosh, it was shocking. Terrible peace of tosh - I lost patience eventually and chucked the disc in the bin. Reminded me what a serious low point the seventies were culturally.
Appearing to be the bad-guy is often preferable to allowing them to use you up for their own conveniences.
You did good, he he!
You all are just like a bunch of mama hens sometimes-and I love you!
Are you awake?
Has anyone else been falling asleep on the job?
MsMadge, I am awake now. So is Cwillie, and I'm thinking some others, like Churchmouse. (5:40 a.m. West Coast of California.) Hi Cwillie!
Cannot wait for daylight savings time, looking outside last night it was pitch black at 7 p.m. Move clocks forward 1 hour on Sunday, Mar. 12th.
Maybe there should be a brats only roll call to see if anyone is left who can help lighten their own and others burdens by acting out? Or did you all join brats anonymous or something?
What would happen if I just moved my clocks forward now-and didn't tell hubs?
Gosh just fell asleep again.
Maybe I should look for a program that alarmed me every half hour.
No those brief naps provide very interesting dreams. So clear when I wake up I am not sure which world I am in.
Maybe I am hallucinating and not dreaming
we lose an hour of sleep this weekend?
But that's nothing. My eye was caught by this sub-head on today's obituary page in the newspaper:
"ENIS TOGNI - Italian acrobat who was not fond of aerial work..."
What a misfortune in his choice of career, then, surely?
I had to read on. Snr Togni, who has died aged 83, was an acrobat, flying trapeze artiste and tiger trainer in his native Italy, and went on to become one of the most respected circus impresarios in Europe.
Born into a circus dynasty... made his show business debut at the age of eight... congratulated on his performance by General Rommel (?!)... an adept ground acrobat and springboard leaper, but fractured his foot...
...Joined in the family Togni's flying trapeze troupe, a spectacular act with nine participants, but he admitted that he was not fond of aerial work and in fact was fearful of heights...
Turning next to tiger-training... during a tour of Germany and Austria in 1957, one of his four tigers, named Bombay, killed another tiger in Munich.
Bombay went on to kill a substitute trainer, the unfortunate William Schaefer..."
Perhaps Enis could be reincarnated as an operatic tenor next time. Much safer for everyone.
Anyways Ik have been betrayed by her and my heart has been broken in pieces more than onece by her antics, and betrayal.
So I guess you know about her and nephew sabatoging my efforts to get my mother meals on wheal and how she tried to attack and defamate my character the supervisor came for the visit because she insisted my mother did not need the service now or ever because she was taking care of everytgng. She does doodley squat...! And the intake case worker and supervisor were like well she is the one who called us!!.
So I can babble on. But Im talking to my mother when she comes in from work one afternoon. As I go upstairs behind her. When she gets on top landing she says in my mother's tone that was a one time thing. So I was like this is a sick puppy. and It ate me up this need to tell her about herself and her antics. Well one day went by and I said just leave it. Only thing is by me not checking her, her attitude is very arrogant and strongly belligerent and degrading towards me. I try not to be ugly and I do a lot of praying for long long time not to retaliate on her or my mother over many years of ugly team work.
So when she came in I went in living room and told her she is a sick puppy. And she is wrong if I place any kind of respect on her comment decisions or thinking because she abbnandoned her children, and my mother and betrayed me on several occasions. So keep her comment to herself. And that she needs to make me a monster so she can look at herself.
In the course of the exchange she got right up in myface in my space. I was eating a steak sandwich and chewing before she came in my face to retaliate, saying she was not talking to me (oh really?, that the only workds I heard her say) So I said well if I am wrong I still mean exactly what I said and as I spoke a piece of food flew out my mouth. (she had no business) up on my chest. I didn't back down because I just leave it alone all the time but not this time. So when she raised her hand it didn't get far. We had a nice tussle I was just getting started and she was telling my mother to call 911. Who by the way came between us with a knife saying stop this. So of course when police come she does more sabbatoge of my character and because her son is a ranking officer she is going to be right. I was like we will see because I went out there two. Two different stories, they say they have to sort it out, I did give her a scratch on the face that bled and of course she left the blood to make it look bad. But the officers were like, don't look like anyone is hurt, whatch what you say. She says I came at her like I ambushed her (lie) she is a narcissist cant stand to be called out on her wrong. I was telling her how she turned her children against me and tried with my mother. How she has torn this family apart. and she can say what she want but I have no repect for her or her opinion because of her past actions.
Anyway she has my nephew on the phone and he tells her enough is enough just leave it alone. Then she says okay like she letting me off the hook. I just shook my head. CRazy ehh..
