XPOST: End of year B*TCHFest
WARNING! Adult content ahead! Posts may (and probably will) contain "adult" content and language. I know that MINE will. Rated TV-MA/L.
For you NEW KIDS, HERE ARE 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 ABSOLUTELY 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!
- The unemployment office. It's bad enough that after three goddamned years I STILL can't get a ******g job and have to practically BEG for the paltry $170 a week you give me. But when I have to call your office for whatever your stupid-reason-du-jour is, I can never get through to a person. I can't even get the option to hold. You sucked from the beginning and you still suck now.
- The fact that I keep ******g up this post by hitting some wrong key and have had to type this ****** three times (so far.)
- The fact that I showed up for work last night and found out that I wasn't working last night. I wrote down the dates wrong. 45 minute drive there in the rain, then an hour home in harder rain and rush hour traffic, swearing at myself the whole way.
- People who use the train (or anything else, for that matter) and complain that it's dirty and messy. If you and your compatriots would actually THROW AWAY your trash instead of dumping it on the seats and the floor, it WOULD be clean.
- Gym douches. Get off the cellphone, wipe your disgusting sweat off the machines, throw your refuse in the trash (see above) and put things back where they belong and not on the floor. There's a reason for weight racks: that's where the weights LIVE! Put 'em back.
- I'm tired of hearing people threatening to leave OH. If you're really that unhappy, just go, already. We will somehow manage to muddle through without you.
- All right, I'm going to finally say it. I AM FED THE **** UP WITH PEOPLE ON OH WHO MAKE FUN OF SOMEONE ELSE'S PHYSICAL APPEARANCE! Really? Haven't we, as overweight/obese people, had enough laughing, jokes and taunts and cruel comments made about us without having to listen to that **** HERE, too? No, some people have to comment on other people's saggy skin, still-chubby parts, age, clothes, whatever. It's pathetic. It's DOUBLY pathetic when some ***** who doesn't have the guts to even put a single pic of themselves does it. It's okay to make fun of someone else but you won't show YOUR FACE? You cowardly piece of ****
- Howard Stern as a judge on "America's Got Talent." Really?
OH! And one more: PEOPLE WHO CAN'T BE BOTHERED HOLDING UP THEIR END OF A SECRET SANTA DEAL!!!!!!!
You are on a role Bette, the even Jesus hates you thing from a believer is funny, although I doubt Jesus hates people for just being hateful otherwise I doubt there would be any of us humans left standing here on earth because everyone can be hateful and catty at times. I know I like to think I am above all the name calling and b/s I see here but I still see people at the mall or whatever and say to my boyfriend omg what were they thinking, doesn't that make me just as bad as the name callers here *****fuse to do it face to face. I guess I am not sure where the line gets drawn, I honestly try to be a nice compassionate person, I alwayd defend the underdog and honestly I like to see bad things happen to nasty people, or Karma as they say. But I know I have done some awful things in my life and Karma is probably chasing me down with a big stick also and I will deserve it when I get whacked. The thing about being a douche is if you recognize yourself for it and change your ways then atleast you are making progress, thats what I like to think I am trying to do, I can't change anyone but me. So to that end I am trying to be a better person and I refuse to give into the b/s that goes on here and everywhere.
Have a great day Bette and I really hope you get a job, I would hire you if I could because I know you are a caring, hard working person.

This isn't really a rant. I am hurt. My three oldest kids couldn't even be bothered to call me for Christmas. Forget about a card or gift. But they could spend Christmas eve with their grandparents *****fuse to die. For God's sake, 87 and 95. Die already. Did I mention I hate my ex in laws? They have always tried to buy my kids, and now my grand kids love and I guess it works. I can't afford expensive gifts but it would be nice to get a thank you for the things I did manage to buy. Between them and my ex my gifts look pathetic and I practically killed myself to be able to buy them. So I guess my kids forgot they have a maternal side of the family since they couldn't be bothered to call their sisters, too.
I hate the ******g holidays. I have no money yet I spend the money I should use on bills so I can buy something for my grand kids who don't even say thank you (see above). I didn't get one lousy gift this year. Even my boyfriend didn't bring me a card, which he has always done for years. I made him some rice krispie treats because I know he loves them and he didn't have a thing for me. I finally asked him and he said "Oh, I didn't know what you wanted so I was going to give you money". Money is nice but a card would have at least showed he cared. And he didn't even have any money on him so obviously it was an afterthought. I really feel like no one cares about me. Even my middle girl only called me to see if I got her something. I hate the ******g holidays and my birthday, which is 4 days after Christmas, doesn't look any better. You know how much it sucks having a birthday right after Christmas? I never got a present that wasn't wrapped in Christmas paper that was a rejected Christmas gift. Sometimes they even forgot to take off the original card. Forget birthday parties. All I ever heard was "Sorry I didn't get you anything. I am too broke from Christmas." I have been so depressed this year that I have hardly left the house and no one seems to miss me.
I am also pissed because my 11 year old Chihuahua, that I just went into debt for $600 for surgery to save her life has turned into a real ***** Since the surgery she has become aggressive and mean for no reason. I had to find a new home for the dog we had just taken in because she was turning on her. I thought that would solve the problem but now she is turning on her son, who I will not get rid of. The poor little guy is scared of her now. She is fine most of the time but then all of the sudden, for no reason at all she will start growling and barking at the other dogs. I don't know if she has dementia or what. The vet put her on some meds that haven't helped so now we are going to try antidepressants since I think it is some kind of anxiety she is going through. And my other dog needs surgery, too, and I have to wait on it because I am broke.

LadyTazz,
I wish you prompt relief from your ordeals. Maybe I can offer a sugestion for your dog anxiety.
I think it is possibly temporary due to the traumatic experience of her disease, pain, unwanted handling by strangers, etc... there is a veterinarian drops version of the Bach Flowers Rescue Remedy. It comes in a yellow box and it works!!! I use them in my hyper anxious Tom-cat, who is afraid of his own shadow, in his most hyper days (today is one of them), and takes away the edge of it. I give my cat a much bigger dose, because is a huge cat, and because the "right" dose does nothing for him, but in higher amunts it works. Maybe you would like to try it... and for you, maybe you should try the chewable Rescue Remedie. I purchase both from Vitacost, but I have also seen them at Naturist stores... I wish you well. Take care.
Peace and good.

Anxiety.
I have medicated my anxiety with food my entire life. Now I have lost all this weight but need to go on anxiety medication which will probably make me...gain weight.
All of which is making me feel incredibly anxious.
Anxiety sucks.
