Who's up for B*TCHFest????
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 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.
- Cruelty to and neglect of animals is making me apoplectic! I had to (couldn't, in good conscience, ignore the situation) run up to Waterbury yesterday to pull this little guy from their shelter. He is so skinny that he makes a supermodel look overweight, has horrendous infections and both ears, and what may or may not be a broken, neglected and poorly healed leg. What kind of people do that to animals???? (Well, I know the answer: ********)
Regardless, he's rescued now, frightened of his own shadow, but things for him can only get better from here.
- What's up with people who just can't figure out that it might be a better idea to walk on the SIDEWALK than in the middle of the street? Or, even worse, women with babies in strollers, thinking that the street is a good idea. WTF? Or even WORSE, people crossing the street at night in the middle of the block, while wearing all black. Can anyone say "invisible"?
- I love my gym, but does it have to be as loud as a damned rave? I get it. Music is nice, but dang! And hardly anyone listens to it, because everyone's got either an iPod or phone that features iTunes.
Okay, that should get you guys going. Have fun!

Idiots at work! I'm wearing my "screw you" earrings (http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/Accessories/Jewelry/Earrings//Nail+Chain+Dangle+Earrings-133733.jsp ) in honor of people who think students should have 1-1 psychological testing just to find out their academic level in a single subject. Uh, no! Assessment, if you don't think the kid needs a different educational placement, does not provide anywhere near the same data you get from qualitative evaluation of the child's progress on specific tasks compared with grade-mates! If there's a problem with the kid's progress, talk to me! Don't call the parents and say you're having a "full psychological evaluation" done before anything else happens!
(And Bette - love your little foster guy! I have 2 rescued cats, still afraid of their shadows, but loving to people they recognize! If I knew who harmed them, I would "full psychological eval" them with sharp instruments!)

Dear Spiders,
Get out of my lawn furniture. Seriously.
I do not want to look like a chimp flailing a stick everytime I open the damn door. I'm a human dammit...and a big one. Yet there you sit, like ninjas. And there I go flailing like Kermit the frog when you pop up to say 'hi'.
Dear....you know who you are,
I can see past your "concern". You're worried, as I've always been the heavy one. Your mad because I'm seeing someone for my hang up's and it's working. I'm finally pushing to become more then what I am. You don't try and in the end all your goals turn into something that was "lame" or "not worth it" . The older we get, the more closed your mind becomes. You hate everything, everyone and anything. We've been friends forever but I'm gonna have to walk away for my own sake. I keep waiting for you to change, but something tells me you won't. You've always been condescending to me, and I took it. However I'm working on not being a human doormat anymore. You may have notice me snap back at your clever in****s.
How I wish we could re-live the good old days, but I need to look ahead. Not back.
