The Venting Thread

[Southpaw]

I wanted to order a 25# bag of rat food at work since it was cheap...and would last a long time. Well the person who orders the food ordered it yesterday, which was my day off... and this morning she laughs and says "I thought you had written 25# but the lady on the phone said you must mean 2.5#... so that'll be here next week."

What the!! No I don't want the tiny bag lol. They have both sizes according to the ad so I don't know why this woman on the phone assumed anything! Maybe I have 100 rats to feed. Getting a small bag is more expensive than what I normally get them.

Dad keeps mentioning his friend that died yesterday and it's making me sad

So this morning I *think* I ran over a cat

Then I come home and one of my fish (that was looking off) is looking reeally off, and the other half in an attempt to be nice had quarantined him, but he was in a tank with a pump and was just being washed in circles

I sit down with a drink to watch a film, no sodding sound!!!! And I can't get the sodding sound on the sodding tv to work!!!! So I stand up to get a remote KICK my FULL glass of vodka and lemonade over

Walk to get a towel to find Fred has not asked to go out for a wee and dribbled everywhere!!! Argh!!! Get mop, let Fred out for a wee, clean up spill, refill glass, turn system off and on again.... STILL NO SOUND!!!!!

Fml.

I just took down two trees in the backyard by myself (although I haven't finished bundling them up to be taken away for compost) and I am feeling pretty badass and OMG ALL THE ACTIVITY POINTS but holy moley I am already sore, I dread what I'm going to feel like tomorrow.

Also I have two gigantic blisters (one shaped like a cat's head!) and just about cut the side of the tip of my thumb off.

Vet bills are evil.

I just had a nap since school got out early.

This was one of my duties too.
I use healthypet.com, dvm360.com, vetstreet.com then throw in some fluffy quotes and showcase a few senior patients.

Good idea!

So I had to go out tonight to buy ink for the printer. Color AND black. Because we can't just be out of one, we have to be completely inkless. And I decided heck, might as well buy a pack of paper too because knowing my luck, we'll be out of that the next time I need it. A grand total of $50. The one time I need to use the printer!!! For something I should have just got done at work!!!

How annoying.

Ouch ... I ran in my new sandals & they rubbed two blisters on each side of my feet! >_<, I know I'm a wimp for whining about blisters but .... OUCH .... BLISTERS!!

UGH dating site etiquette. Guy sends me a message. It's a good message, not overly hitting on me or anything, asking a few questions. I feel like I want to answer.

Except he's not at ALL my type.

I don't know if I should answer now because I don't want to seem like I'm leading him on or anything, but he was nice and asked questions so why shouldn't I answer? Because I don't want to seem like I'm leading him on... but I don't want to be MEAN and not respond... but... but... but.

Hey, I had some good relationships with guys who werent my "type" per say. Hell my current OH isn't my type, I have a good guy friend who IS "technically" more my "type" personality wise but emotionally we aren't compatible romantically.

Only you can decide...but it may be worth it

My husband is pretty much polar opposite of my type...on the surface at least

Yeah, except the whole "you want kids and I vehemently do not" thing kinda, you know, makes or breaks a relationship.
As does the "I'm a strong Christian and you're a blazing atheist" thing.

I love how people always assume "my type" has something to do with appearances. Like wanting to be attracted to somebody is a bad thing anyway.

Got stung by a wasp on BOTH top and bottom LIP of all places. They are so swollen...I really don't get why celebrities pay have them like this. I look Ridiculous ...plus OOWW!

Yeah, the kid thing, that would be a deal breaker for most.

Dh is an atheist, I am pagan so we are different there....that is one each couple works out for themselves.

(and just to be clear, I wasnt talking about appearances...)

I think sometimes it's nice to break away from your 'mold'. But if your fundamentals are different, you're not going to go far.

I'm amazed by the amount of couples I see who never talked about having kids or what kind of wedding ceremony to have or... anything. Differences can be great, but they have to work for you. If you're Catholic, sure, date a Muslim but don't be surprised when you get into arguments about your lifestyles.

(I watched a show where a woman helped wealthy women who were pregnant to 'baby proof' their life. One couple was completely divided. The husband was Jewish, the mom was Catholic. And not until she was 8 MONTHS PREGNANT did the conversation of what to bring their child up as came up. There was this big fuss because the mom wanted her baptised and the father said he wouldn't go....)

ANYWAY not having kids and not being your religion (or of similar belief) is usually a deal breaker. I'm with Beanie on this one. I would politely turn him down. Maybe answer his questions but make it clear you're not interested. Or you could not respond at all. It is a dating site, after all....

Argh. May I complain? I heard someone listening to Christmas music already.

Just try it. Go on a date here and there. You shouldn't be planning your future (er...or...non-future?) based on an internet file. I've been on several internet dates..we hit it off texting and based on profiles, and then get together and it is horrible. Or I'm not sure about 'him' and go anyway, and he's actually kind of cool.

My profile listed that I do not want kids, and that I'm atheist. His is the opposite, wants kids and is catholic. Well..we don't really discuss religion but are open to each other's beliefs, and turns out not having kids is not a deal breaker for him. You never know.
