B*TCHFest, because I promised you all
For you NEW KIDS, HERE ARE THE RULES: THE RULES: "B*TCHFest" is provided as a public service to those of us who have gripes and grievances but who (whom?), for whatever reason, lack a regular forum in which to air them. You are welcome to voice any problems - large or small, important, mundane or ridiculous - that currently have your panties wadded, your shorts frosted and your gears ground. Don't hold them in and risk future medical issues, wrinkles and/or those pesky gray hairs.
ANY and ALL issues that are plaguing you are open for you to voice; there are no "sacred cows." They say that "feelings aren't facts", so if you're feeling it, it's legit to you. NO ONE is allowed to flame a poster for something he or she writes, however commiseration is not only welcomed but encouraged. Please, no personal attacks against other OH members (at least, not by name) and PLEASE, NO SURGERY WARS!
I'll start you off with a few gripes of mine, and you all can join in at any time! No limits - come back as many times as you like!
WARNING! Adult content ahead! Posts may (and probably will) contain "adult" content and language. I know that MINE will. Rated TV-MA.
Okay, here we go! I'll start off with a couple of classics.
PULL YOUR PANTS UP! I am so sick of seeing ass crack!
Get off the phone or get out of my way!!
Does your car stereo really (REALLY?) need to be so loud that the car's frame rattles?
And if you HAVE TO play your music so loud, can you play something that DOESN'T suck?
on to new issues . . .
I'm pissed that I now have to refer to someone ELSE on OH as "Voldemort."
People who live across the street have a food truck and stand that sells jerk chicken. I love chicken, and I love the smell of it cooking. But they cook outside their house which, I'm pretty sure violates health codes, and they do it at all hours. It's hard to sleep when you're still smelling chicken at 2 in the morning. The LEAST they could do is share some once in a while.
The guy who I witness peeing in the bushes at 3 in the afternoon the other day. EW! Really??
Why are so few high-protein foods SAVORY? Sweet shakes and bars get tired after a while. How about some soup? Protein-enhanced salsa, maybe?
Dear darling dogs: it's summer. We have the windows open. Yes, there are people outside. No, they are not there to do us harm. Can you please try to refrain from barking at all of them?
Argh! Where the hell did I put the rest of my summer clothes? I can find a binful of bottoms, but no tops!!
Aw, that's enough for now. I've worked myself into a lather. YOUR TURN!

Why is it every time I have sex I get a yeast infection. I switched from Latex to Polyurethane condoms. Still no relief. Lamb skin are useless. They only protect from pregnancy, not STDs. And pregnancy is not an issue for me. Hell, I can't even have a normal biological need without it biting me in the ass..or in this case....my girly parts.
Why do my kids insist on torturing each other in front of me?
Why are there broken corn chips on the floor of my pantry?
Why do boys have to scream like a girl?
When does school start again?

I got accepted into my employer's RN to BSN program. I got accepted into the University of Texas at Arlington's RN to BSN program. I had planned to start in the fall, but there is a HUGE tuition increase after the summer session, so it looks like I start 7/4/2011. Yep, next week. I am not ready for that.
When does school start???

I am still loving life with my sleeve! Been maintaining at or below goal for over 4 years!

We can't afford our house- it is eating well over half our income... But because it is so pricey we can't afford to save the deposit for a much cheaper place I found. I hate that being poor only leads to being more poor, and I hate that military housing, which is supposed to be a benefit, is what is crushing us financially...

I'm pissed that after nearly 5 years I am STILL living in NC. Gosh I can't stand this place! In the meantime, we have a gorgeous new house just sitting in Texas for the past year. Hubby refuses to move the family until we sell our NC house. "Rent it out and let's haul ass to Texas till it sells" I tell him. "The TX house is in an exclusive gated community, it will be fine" he says. "Besides I don't want to be a landlord" he adds. BUT he wants to throw money away every month on this housing fiasco.
I swear the depression of being in NC is what helped to pile on my weight in the first place. I'm going to blame NC for my dreaded stall as well!
I wish that my thin, single, college educated, childless, healthy 32 year old sister would get the HELL outta my house. It's been 17 months already!!!!!
I've lowered the price as low as the agent will lower it.
I can't BELIEVE that 5 months has gone by and it isn't even being looked at.
So next winter I guess I am moving back to it. This time with FOUR dogs and a heavy heart.
I HATE THIS ******G ECONOMY.

He can barely take care of himself, actually he can't.. my husband (who has more patience than I can muster of a good day) watches out for him.. and mows his yard for $.. so what does he do, he gets a DOG (because he can, SHE never liked dogs). This poor thing is chained all day, crapping in the front yard, not being walked or played with and it's a CUTE SWEET dog.. Now that it's warm the dog crap stink is coming in our front window!! So, DH tells him, please- get a pooper scooper- I cannot mow over dog **** Oh, yeah, I guess I should do that... DUH you ******g moron. It still stinks. but since he smokes 2pks a day and lives in an altered state he's ******g oblivious. I want to steal that dog and give it to a friend that does rescue work just so it has a better life! He's supposed to be moving, I will celebrate the day he's gone.. I don't know how, but I will! GRRRRRrrrrrr.
