    I blocked 2 fb friends from my newsfeed today and it felt good.  FB friend A- every stinkin' status update had something to do with her daughter who has an unbelievably annoying nickname.  FB friend B- her life sucks and wants everyone to know every single sucky detail that happens everyday.....a total downer.

    I have one of those too. I find it hard to believe that anyone's life can suck that bad. 

    I also have a FB friend that recently got her first puppy. It's a tiny hairball thing and she is forever posting videos and status updates and pictures about this dog. Like it's the best dog to ever grace the planet. She calls her "my daughter" and it has a horrid nickname too. It's way annoying.

    Can we please know her annoying nickname???

    I want to block someone on fb bc he just tries too hard to be deep and artsy.  It just doesn't work.  But I can't bring myself to do it because I don't want to miss out on the next insane status.

    Same here.  There was something horribly wrong with her life every day, no one was ever there for her, blah, blah, blah.  I couldn't take it anymore.  

     

     

  • I don't even block, I just flat out unfriend. I have a whole list of offenses:

    - Being married to my sister.

    - Posting every single play from the Texans game when I'm on a 30-minute DVR delay.

    - "Whiiiiiine." And then 5 minutes later, "Whiiiiiine." And then 2.5 minutes later, "Did you hear me? I said, 'Whiiiiiiine.' "

    - C&Ping political urban legends or posting politically and racially motivated comments.

    - Using the words "Michelle Bachmann" and not following that up with "is crazy."

    - Using the words "socialism" and "Hitler."

     

  • I love almost being 35 and feeling like I'm 12 again.  My hormones have my face all broken out.  To top it off the Dr. said I have tonsillitis.  Fun times.  Fun times.  I'm going to go cover my self with zit cream and go to bed.

    you just made me LOL

  • Ugh. I just got in a "fight," for lack of better term, with a woman I volunteer with. She was just being a b**ch and I sent her an email about it and she totally ripped me one. I am not really worried about her scolding of me, but we know a lot of ppl in common and I just should not have engaged her about this at all. I should have just let it be because she is the kind of person who is emailing a lot of ppl right now and talking about it and some of these are business owners and people I know and *need* to remain on good standing with. Ugh. I was in the right- she was being a jerk, but I think because I started my period today I was being emotional and sent of a retort from my phone in the parking lot of BB&B... SIgh.

    i keep seeing pics of that lady with the world's longest fingernails.  oh. my. gosh.

    that is so grody!  how do you wipe, floss, retrieve boogers?!?!?!  wash your hands?!?!?!

    I don't know if it's the lady with the world's longest but someone close to that was on strange addiction and discussed the wiping thing. I saw it on the soup so I'm sure the clip is on youtube.

    I am so with you!  Ugh, this bugs the crap out of me.   Not to mention...do you think you can just up and move to Canada, or wherever, just because you want to?  You kind of need a reason to move to another country.  They're not going to just say, "Hey, you wanna move here?  Yay, come on over!"

    Oh no.  What a horrible situation.  I really hope the people she drags into it can understand your POV.

  • I'm kind of mad at my sister.  And I fully admit I'm being childish and probably selfish.

    I found out last night she booked a trip to Vegas the same weekend we're doing C's b-day party.  I can't change it because of several things, one being that I now have to go OOT the second weekend for work.  But I'm mad that she didn't ask to clarify when his party is.  She is very important to Cooper.  She would be no help to me, so that's not why I'm mad, and he's not old enough to realize she won't be there.

    I did find out that her DH booked it as a surprise for her, and I don't think I can 100% fault him for not thinking about when C's party would be.  He was doing something nice for my sister.  So I guess I'm mad at the situation.  

    It doesn't help that last night we lived that new tv show "Up All Night."  I'll blame my irrational thought on 4 hours of sleep.

    I think it's the lack of sleep.  Hopefully you'll feel a little less angry about it after you can get some rest.

    When kids are that little, they will only remember that someone didn't attend their b-day party if you remind them.  I can't tell you who was at my second, third, or fourth birthday parties.... hopefully he will have other fun people around him that he loves.

    What part makes you feel that way? 

  • We were supposed to go to my brother's this weekend. He called me yesterday and said that we couldn't bring our dogs, so now we're not going because I can't afford to board them for 4 days just to go and hang out in Lake Charles for the weekend.

    My feelings are really hurt. We've taken our dogs with us a million times, they've never done anything bad (like chew things up or pee on their floor) and my dogs are really well behaved so I don't understand why we can't bring them.

    Mostly I miss my niece. We saw them for a day when we were on vacation in July, but we haven't really seen her since May. I was really looking forward to seeing her Sad

    Did he at least give a reason why?  I would be upset that it was fine for you to bring them until the very last minute.

  • Ouch.

    My little man with 8 teeth drew blood while nursing this morning.  Oh my goodness I will never get why people get pierced there.  Then he wouldn't stop crying and I had to put him in his playpen and call DH to come hold him because I just couldn't handle the screaming.

    :(  Bad start to a Friday.

    He just said that they are big (they are) and his house is small (it is). I guess I understand, it's his house, whatever, but it's not like they haven't been there a million times.

    I don't necessarily have a problem with it being last minute as much as I do him not letting them over at all. His inlaws live next door and babysit/dogsit all.the.time. I don't have that luxury so I don't think he understands.

    I'm sorry. :(  I kind of understand as my house is small and when my parent's come they bring their dogs and combined with our dog and 2 extra people it fills up a small house very quickly.  We would rather them not bring them but I couldn't imagine telling them they couldn't if it meant they couldn't come visit.

  • Kimmer, I'm sorry that really stinks.  But he's allowed the dogs to his home before, right?  I wonder why he's banning them this time?  I agree, boarding dogs is an expensive PITA.

    I hope it's not my preference for lipstick lesbians if I were to go that way. =D

    I have 2 stereotypes for men I like too - either a stocky guy (about 5'9 or 5'10) with very dark almost black hair and green or blue eyes, or (more frequently and my current DH) a taller, 6'0 light brown or dirty blonde hair with blue eyes and a runner/baseball player's build (usually chicken legs with nice thighs and buns and a thinner build overall).

    I like what I like. :-P

  • Viula - look at it this way - on the would-you-rather post you indicated you'd rather tell the truth than say things to make people like you.  (or something like that).  You told the biotch the truth!

    If she forwards it or stirs up drama the fact is you are 99% of the time a rational, pragmatic, polite, diplomatic, generous and compassionate person who is someone with whom all those people will want to continue to be associated, and they will probably also think the biotch deserved to be sized up a bit. =D

    You know what that kind of noise does to a toddler who was only 30 minutes into what should have been a 2 hour nap? All over a freaking $10 donut pan.
