Wednesday B*TCHFest: Come on down!

  

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!

WARNING! Adult content ahead! Posts may (and probably will) contain "adult" content and language. I know that MINE will. Rated TV-MA.



It's a gorgeous, New England fall day, and I hate to ruin it with rants, but I have to get some **** off my chest. Join me, won't you?

- do the media and politicians: we are NOT headed into a "second recession." IT'S THE SAME RECESSION! The mere fact that you dillholes SAY the first one ended two years ago does NOT make it so. Climb down out of your ivory towers and look around. Does it LOOK like the recession ever ended?

- why is it that, even though I lost a lot of weight, NOTHING fits? If the waist fits, the hips are too small and I can't get pants over my fat thighs. If the thighs are the right size, you could fit me and another person in the waist. ****! I hated shopping for clothes before and I hate it MORE now. Dammit!

- I'm freelancing night shift this week (5p to 1a.) By the time it gets to be 7 pm, my caffeine buzz has worn off, and if I start a new one, I won't be able to sleep when I get home at 1 am. Sheee-it. Can't science find  a way to fix that?

- I know that sometimes, people have to (or prefer to) pay for their groceries with a check. But for god's sake, while the cashier is ringing up your 800 items, can you start writing out the check, rather than waiting for her to get done? You can at least PULL OUT THE CHECKBOOK, fill in the date, name of the store and sign it while you (and we) are waiting.

OH! ONE MORE! It's only the 5th of October. Do we really, REALLY need to have all the stores putting out their CHRISTMAS crap already?? Damn you, Hallmark store. I blame you!

Oh, that's it for now. I'm gonna go try to enjoy the pleasant weather. Your turn. Have at it! ***** away, *****ers!!! 

Thanks for doing this betty or I was going to start my own this evening.

One complaint sums it up!

I'm tired of know it alls. I have them all around me. I am not a ******g idiot. I have a good job and do it well. I'm in school and at the top of the class. Just because I may not have the most street smarter it does not mean I'm an ******g idiot.

And to close could I please get more than 2 hours of sleep at a time? It's making me cranky.

 Okay, this is my first time at this, so bear with me...

- Why is it that when people look at those of us who are overweight, they think we're lazy, and then when we're at the gym, we're treated like we shouldn't be there?  It really ****** me off!!!!

- Speaking of the gym, there's this one guy at my gym (a real "goom-bah") who sweats like a pig on the elliptical AND the treadmill and refuses to wipe any of the machines down.  How GROSS!!!!! 

- And lastly, I've always been a religious person.  I'm proud of it.  I never preach to anyone or point out anything anyone is doing wrong.  It's their business.  With that said, I received an e-mail the other day from a man from my church who "heard" I live with my BF.  He proceeded to tell me how I'm "not being obedient to Christ" and how he's extremely disappointed in me.  Are you freakin' kidding me???  Who the h*ll are you to judge me and my life?  Do you even KNOW the facts???  NO!!!!  There's a reading in the Bible that says before you point out the speck in your neighbor's eye, you should take the plank out of your own.  I suggested he do just that.  I have never proclaimed to be anyone but who I am, and that is how I live.

Okay, I'm done.  Thanks, Bette.  I needed that...

I despise it when someone hides behind their Christianity to pass judgment on others. People like that give Christianity a bad name. Glad you had a suggestion for him.

Thanks Debbie.  It's great to know others understand. 

When I saw you post I thought.........what can I ***** about? Well I can't! I could about the band of course. But it really doesn't do any good. And as far as the rest of my life. All is well! :-) Things have been very uneventful lately. Spending lots of time with the puppy, seeing my daughter this w/e, have the Meet & Greet this weekend, then the OH conference. Fun, fun, fun!

Bette are u coming to the conference???
