Put your vents here
People, you do not need all that perfume/cologne/scented lotion. Seriously, bathe and you're good. Or at least learn the word "moderation" and stop making me choke on your nasty scent during my long commute.

I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball
Re: Put your vents here
My sister is obsessed with her bf proposing. They went together and chose a ring, which she knows through a friend who is dating his friend that he has purchased. She's not even engaged but she's already acting all bridezilla.
She has told me she is getting married next summer in a small ceremony. I will be her MOH and she won't have any BMs. So I better not get pregnant between now and then. And she is getting married in Savannah and when we go there on "planning trips", I need to leave DS home because it'll be too hard to do anything with him there. Also, I should plan on bringing a babysitter to the wedding to watch him.
She is going to be so miserable when she's actually engaged.
Why do you need to accompany her for planning trips? That is ridiculous.
At least he is invited to the wedding then...
She cannot dictate your fertility so pay no attention to her on that.
This site is sucky lately. I can never get on and I can hardly ever reply.
If I get one more email, "I love my dog but I don't want her anymore/I'm moving and "can't" take her/she has bitten 3 people and I can't risk having her here anymore" I will scream at the top of my lungs and gouge my eyeballs out of my head with a newly sharpened pencil. It amazes me that people approach these problems with the mentality that THEY don't want their dog or to deal with their dog, so a everyone else must!
And we are tentatively going to start TTC in July. So... maybe when she actually gets engaged and finds out I'm KU, she'll want someone else to be her MOH. Fingers crossed!
"My friend's sister in law's cousin needs to get rid of his dog for _____ reason. Can the rescue take it?"
No. Deal with your own problems. There are dogs in high kill shelters. Why don't you take the time to train your dog not to have accidents in the house. Thanks.
P had 2 growths removed on Monday. She has already eaten her staples. *sigh*
Back to the vet.
Good luck with your sister, LadyE. And Punky, I hope P is ok.
I'm home sick today, but have to check my email, and work is making me crazy even from afar. One of my faculty chairs is overly involved, and one is so absent it makes me crazy. Both of them suck in different ways, and I *may* have just cried for 10 minutes about it.
I just made a turkey wrap and it was awful. So now I'm having a piece of cheesecake for lunch, because we have no actual food in the house, and I'm too tired to walk over to get a sub. I justified it because a)today has sucked, and b)it's blueberry cheesecake, so there's fruit involved. (Also a mini vent within a vent: it was supposed to be strawberry- my husband ordered it for me for valentine's day, and when he got home, he realized they screwed it up. It's still good and all, but I really would have preferred strawberry.) (PS- I will never tell him that ever.)
Oh Lady E I really hope you get pregnant, and thrown out of the wedding.
Punky I hope P is okay.
My mom is driving me crazy. I know I should not complain about her buying the baby gifts, but I am going to. She buys the most ridiculous clothing I have seen in my life. I should have expected this because she used to dress me funny. Anyways she continues to buy the baby these horrid items, and I refuse to put them on her. They are always crushed velvet gown like things....I don't even know where she finds these things. Also she continues to say things about the baby that just really annoy me. She goes on and on about how wonderful and sweet the baby is, and I want to scream "YOU HATE CHILDREN....WHO ARE YOU??" I don't though...I hold it in. I feel like I am a ticking time bomb.
My in-laws also drive me crazy about the baby. I could go on and on and about that, but I am sure you ladies don't want to read paragraph after paragraph on that.
I remember one time I was complaining on here about how everyone was driving me crazy with all of their unsolicited advice while I was pregnant, and Punky said "just wait until you have the baby." You were right Punky. It is much much much worse.
I always hope I'm wrong when I advise about unsolicited advice. The good news? It will die down CONSIDERABLY around the 1 year mark.
Of course then, if you are still BF you will probably start to get gasps of horror when people find out about that.
You can vent to me about your ILs on email
P is fine, she didn't get replacement staples, but she was sedated so they could clean the incision out and now she is staggering, waddling, and dragging her feet when she walks all at the same time. Poor girl.
Poor pup! I hope she feels better soon.
That is great news about the 1 year mark. My in-laws are already asking me about when I am going to stop breast feeding....so annoying.
Aww, poor P.
cdc, feel free to vent away! Or you can e-vent to me too
I felt better after posting my vent this morning.
And YGEM. Two, actually, because I sent you an unrelated one last night.
Punky, I'm glad P is ok, but that stinks! Poor girl!!
