Kvetch here.
Sookie jumped on the bathroom counter last night and chewed open the liquid baby ibuprofen. She is now at the vet's office getting fed activated charcoal. FYI: ibuprofen is toxic to dogs. Now we know.
Also Sean and I have miserable colds. Today sucks.

Re: Kvetch here.
So are brillo pads. And apparently they taste sweet to dogs.
Linus has a UTI, and I cannot fit in a dress for my best friends wedding. The bridal store is not helping me whatsoever. And I hate my BF's future MIL. She has a whorish mouth.For less then ten cents a day, you can feed a hungry child.
This reminds me of the time we came home from dinner one night and found Mabel rolling around in chewed up bits of excedrine. She chewed a hole in Jason's work bag, found the excedrine bottle, opened it up, and then started eating the pills. The vet wasn't concerned because the bottle was almost empty, so she probably only ate 2-3 of them. Unfortunately, the caffeine in the pills made her absolutely insane. She spent the entire night racing around our place. But, at least she was headache free.
Oh no. No good at all. I hope all three of you feel better soon.
My brother once left a bag of red velvet cookies out on the coffee table before we went out. That was a fun night cleaning up doggie squirts that looked like giant puddles of pepto. They did NOT smell like pepto.

oh no! poor Sookie.
The only thing I want to complain about is that I saw one of the four drs. in my OB practice yesterday and HATED her. HATED (like left the office in a bit of a teary emotional mess). So now I'm going to slightly worry that she will be on-call for my delivery unless I figure something else out.
Two of the other lawyers in my office asked me to cover depositions for them tomorrow. Come to find out, it's so they can play golf. Now I have to spend the day running all over the state for my own deposition, and theirs, and I didn't get an invitation to play golf. Grrrr.
I called my husband a fatass and he snapped at me, blaming my cooking skillz. Can you believe the nerve? I HAD HIS FVCKING KID!
Oh, wait, that wasn't me. Nevermind. Ummm. I want more garlic bread and I don't have any so that kind of sucks.
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
The fvcking annoying thing, besides being annoyed at Dan for leaving it out, is that we aren't even sure she got much. It was a small bottle, and definitely most of it spilled. But I guess even a small amount can be toxic to their livers so it's important they get treatment.
Between this and the bee incident while I was in Wyoming, this damn dog is gonna break us for the month.
Oh yeah, my dog is allergic to bees. Eff.
I have another kvetch. Remember Dan's stepmom gave us a large check as a baby gift, we used it towards our new car, and then it got returned some time later because she didn't write out "hundred"? Well, we got most of the overdraft fees refunded, fortunately. She apologized and said of course she'd send us a new one....except then two weeks later she emailed to say she changed her mind because she'd had some "expenses".
At the bottom of the email said "Sent from my iPad". WTF. I mean, do what you want with Dan's dad's pension and inheritance (she doesn't work), but that's just rude. Here, have some money. No wait, nevermind. In the meantime we're worse off than we would have been had she never given us a check to begin with.

WTF?????? I know people were joking about that in a "Wouldn't it suck if?" kind of way but I'd never in a million years expect that to actually happen. Who DOES that?

I can't believe MIL retracted her gift, PG. She should have written the check correctly in the first place, but I can't imagine the BALLZ it takes to be like, "oh well, now I'm not giving you this gift anymore." that totally sucks.
also, Moo, my thoughts, prayers, and toliet paper go to you today. It must be hard to be out of garlic bread. Now I want garlic bread. : )

I know, Tasty. It's so unfair. WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO MEEEE?
PDX, what did you (or Dan, i guess) say to her? How does one even react to that? My mind is bottled.

My kvetch's are all work related so won't make much sense but I have them.
Man, PG - that sucks! Unfortunately, it sounds like something my mom would do (or has done).
The nerve!

Oh god A, that sucks ass. Poor Dan, he's really had the support pulled out from under him these last few years, huh?
My kvetch is I was looking forward to my inlaws visit because I completely forgot about their dog. The last time they were here they just brought him without asking (they'd always kenneled their other dog). He's completely untrained, harasses our cat and they left his pee pad in the middle of our front walkway. So yeah, they're bringing the dog again. Didn't ask, just told us. For my sanity I asked Mr M to suggest some doggie daycares for during Dimi's birthday party. Mr M is worried they'll be offended. I find it a little offensive that they'd just bring a dog to a party unasked.
(Mr M's argument included what if A wanted to bring Sookie. Uh, I love you babe, but no. We need our baby ibuprofen.)

Well what can you do? She knows we spent the money. Dan's the one she emailed, and he's a pushover so he just said "Oh, ok." or something equally as lame. His point is that it was a gift so we can't be upset about it. My point is that we relied upon it to our detriment and a case could be made that she owes us under the common law doctrine of promissory estoppel, right Kay?
But, yeah, this pretty much qualifies my step-MIL as an *** in my book. My real MIL may be obnoxious, but she would sooner die that pull something like this.

PDX's story is pissing me off because I can totally picture my MIL doing the same thing. We had to get a hotel room last Christmas because my BIL & SIL were also visiting and there wasn't room for all of us. Fine, no biggie. She felt bad and said she would pay for half...then changed her mind after Christmas.
Coupled with the fact that she FREAKED OUT when we decided to stay at the Red Roof (because they were the only <$150/night option that took dogs), she wanted us to stay some place nicer. Uh, all we did was sleep and shower there. We didn't need anything more than the Red Roof. Glad we didn't shell out for that $150/night place, considering she never paid us back.
Anyway. Ranting. Sorry, PG. What a turd.
I bet her FUPA's name is Shane, like the gunslinger/drifter of literature.--HappyTummy
Well, that's all that matters. But Bug's on some sort of emotional rollercoaster lately (moms -- pre-teens are FUN) and it might trigger The Angst so I'd best not.
My parents have backed out of helping me out so many times, I've lost count. But never after they actually handed me the check.

Ugh, yes, it sucks royally when it's your parent who is the false promiser, doesn' it? Hopefully Dan will learn to completely disregard anything his stepmom does in the future the way I have to when my dad starts talking about how he wants to give me money. He's never gone so far as to hand me a check, but he'll promise me something up until the point the bill arrives so I know never to take him seriously. He just wants to get the pat on the back for offering without having to pony up.
If he went so far as to write a check and then ask to take it back, I'm pretty sure that would be my breaking point and I would just stop talking to him.

I think the case could be made that we did it in good faith, since we didn't notice it before depositing.
Yay law school.
