:( we're going through something similar, my inlaws said they would sell us their house and now all of a sudden, they're not going to. They don't even live here, they're truckers and have zero reason to have such a big house, we'd even promised to keep a room for them here. House hunting... I hates it.
I'm kind of worried about this. We are supposed to buy my mom's house next summer because she will be moving away. But.. If she backs out, we will end up staying at our rental. Which, that is okay, we have it for as long as we want it, but still.

I was told, very seriously, that it's okay to use harsh tools in animal training because people who are into BDSM use them on each other all the time.

I just.

What.

Whatever your view is on training tools, you cannot be serious. That cannot be a serious argument. I was not aware that animal training was a human fetish but okay.

I got a call at one am last night and according to the voicemail it's the police looking for some guy. So I'm getting my coffee this morning and the number calls back again, once again the police looking for this man. I very politely say they have the wrong number, only to be told I must be mistaken because this is the number he gave them. Sorry I have no clue who he is, not my fault he gave you my number.

Being woken up before my alarm goes off by a cat with zoomies is not how I want to start my day.

I woke up to a whirring noise of Whiskey sailing all over my room like a bat out of hell. He then jumped onto my dresser at full running speed and slid across my dresser knocking almost everything off. I could kill him right now.

I am so sick of my birds behavior. Behavior modifications have not helped. Well, I take that back. Some days they do work. He goes in spurts. One day he will be my happy go lucky little buddy and the next day its all I can do not to crawl into the fetal position and cry. I'm so unhappy, and anxious all the time with him. Is he going to be good? Bad? If he wasn't 13, and I wouldn't be looked at like the worst owner in the world, I would find him a new, more suitable home. I'm so afraid that someone is going to finally complain about his screaming and I will be evicted. As it is, the behavior modifications I've been doing allowed me to open up my windows for the first time in like a year. He was good for like an hour and then I had to close them again.

I would just like some peace and quiet.

This happened to me several times but they showed up at my house. First time guy thought I was lying. Second time I gave him a lecture.

I hate my roommate. He used my toothbrush, used my towel, and chewed up a plastic cup of mine. Then I found out he was moving Tug's crate while I was gone. Then I come home two nights ago, and don't see Frag on the porch when I pull in the drive, and the roommate comes walking out of the house to his truck. I ask him where Frag is and he says "Oh, I just let him inside" (loose with Sir which is a big no no)... I had about **** my pants when I didn't see Frag there, and I verbally assaulted him in the street for everyone to hear. So sick of his denial and lies, he won't admit to doing anything wrong. He was supposed to be moving out this week, but last night his appendix burst, so we have to take care of his annoying crappy dog and put up with him until he heals and can move. Damnit. All. >.<

ACK!!! he sounds awful, I would have kicked him out like ASAP and I would have reamed and screamed and punched. GAH, I hate terrible roommates. I hope he gets out of your hair soon.

Meds meds meds!! When I had my Mirena put in the nurse told me "you can take as much Ibuprofen as you need today." Call your doc and make sure but you probably should be heavily medicated if you can do it! Those cramps are no joke, I'm sorry. =<
Ibuprophen isn't helping at the moment. :( When I had my mirena put in after Winnie was born (had complications with headaches because of it and had to have it removed) I don't remember the pain being this bad. Called OB this morning and left a message, hoping she gets back to me soon. It was all I could do to finish my client this morning then I cancelled the rest for the day. If I could have a hysterectomy, I would. In a flash. I'd like to donate it to someone who WANTS it, because I DON'T.

Why do people believe children HAVE to be only drinking sugary fruit juice, aspartame-laced diet drinks, tea, milk, etc, etc?

Water is a perfectly fine option. Seriously. But god forbid you give your child a glass of water. OH NOES. WHY AREN'T THEY DRINKING MILK OR FRUIT JUICE OR ____.
