qwksndmonster Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 I am a spoiled brat. Some heavy stuff today. I hope you can relax soon, Bio and Josie. Your complaints remind me of my mom, who also never stops. Works a tough job, volunteers, and supervises my gramma's care. Dennis, really sorry about your friend. I'm sure your co-workers will understand. Good on you for helping his parents through it. That's tough. d0rk, get your melon looked at! Feel better. shrader, good luck.

biodork Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I doubt I've got anything legit to complain about today with what you all are dealing with... good luck all of you up there who are still dealing with the snow, and be safe.

My first wedding anniversary is supposed to be in ten days. It's just about all I can think about lately. I hope you, your wife, and your M-I-L are hanging in there.

Iron Crotch Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 So my soon-to-be ex-wife takes everything in my night stand (two dressers, two night stands, one for each of us) and gets rid of it, replacing it with her stuff. Items I've had for 10 or 20 years are now gone. My clock radio - gone. My lamp - gone. Her argument was something along the lines of "I needed more space for my stuff" and "I didn't see you using these things." Am I wrong to be livid? :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, when my wife and I got married I appointed her CDO (Chief Decorating Officer) so she makes the decisions. It was just easier that way and after we both got used to it, results in a lot less arguing. That being said, she wouldn't trash my stuff without discussion, it'd just end up in the basement and it could be reintegrated if I had an issue with something.

I've been living with non-stop crazy, temper tantrums and extreme acts of selfishness for so long I've forgotten what "normal" is. But divorce sucks. Stuck between two bad outcomes. :angry: <end of rant> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife is really down in the dumps about Christmas this year thanks to what happened last year. I love this time of year but I have to hold back on it. We want to start building up our own holiday traditions but that's kind of tough given how our first season as a married couple is one we want to forget.

She might be able to try to look at it differently, which is what I'm doing. Last year at Christmas: No wedding, we know she's terminal and has days left, she's not at home anymore, she's not coherent in any way, I'm miserable and crying myself to sleep most nights. This year: I will miss her, but I will be nowhere near the abyss that I was in last year. But everyone deals with loss differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The accusations are really mounting now. I think it's something like 19 different women at this point. Cosby being convicted of this would pretty much shatter any public image I could hold of someone. I'm not sure there's anyone in our culture you can compare to Cosby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are going to be up in New England for 2 weeks, which is really going to make it stressful. My mother-in-law thinks that everyone needs to grieve over things the same exact way she does and she'll try to force it on us. A 30 year old losing their father is not going to have the same response as someone who loses their husband of 40 years. The circumstances are different and the people are different. When someone tells you that you do not cry enough about this, it only leads to conflict. It's that added layer that really causes the trouble (and probably the cause of the small patch of gray hair I found this week). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattPie Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Very funny. Jerk. Although I do have that tire pressure warning light situation. (Not a Benz, though.) The batteries do go dead in the sensors. If you're sure the pressure is right, you might mention it next time you put tires on so they can change the battery. Or just keep an eye on it the old fashioned way and tape over the light. My winter tires don't have sensors, so the light stays on for 4-5 months per year. I thought it would bother me more than it does, but I learned to ignore it pretty quickly. Complaint: wife and kid are in Buffalo (safely ensconced at her parents house in South Wales). My complaint is I don't know if I'll be able to get up there tomorrow night or Saturday morning like planned. I know the first 300 miles will be easy, it's just the last 20 that might suck. Like all the natives here, I'm a reasonably accomplished snow-driver but there's nothing I can do in 3 ft of the crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I believe that by the time we realize artificial intelligence exists, it will be too late. There was a major disturbance in the Matrix today. Every piece of electronics I own inexplicably crashed today, requiring a full hard boot.
