Convenience: the 'other' C-word...

Convenience, we all love it don't we?
When we're shopping,
when we're cooking,
when we're doing anything that would have otherwise been a big fat PITA!
(pain in the ass)
Convenience does come in handy doesn't it?

Want to know
one thing
that convenience should
never
be associated with?

Friendship!

Don't be a friend of convenience,
don't call only when YOU want to talk but never listen,
or bitch that this same friend is calling you once a day just to say hi.

YOU SHOULD BE SO LUCKY THAT SOMEONE IS THINKING ABOUT YOU, RIGHT?

One would think...

...the reality is that I'm starting to rethink this 'friendship' of ours.
Sure we've known each other forever...
sure you know me better than anyone else does...
sure there are parts of me that you hold dear & vice versa
but truly
you are ONLY that 'wonderful sweet' friend
when IT SUITS YOU!

Always an agenda,
even though you don't realize it.

Not every day
&
unconditionally
as friendship SHOULD be.
Not with you...
not at all.

If you stand to gain something from it,
then sure you're 'that friend'...

...otherwise, you're just that guy
who lives on that street
in that yellow house with the red shutters.

I am seriously tired of being the 'unconditional' friend
to a friend whose
friendship comes with a boatload of
'CONDITIONS' attached.

It ends tonight.

No more calls.
No more going out of my way.
No more being sweet just because I love you.

No
more
one
way
street
friendship,
period.

I'm done.

The Obvious Nothing...

You know what really pisses me off?
When a friend who is no longer a 'friend',
lies to you,
to your FACE,
but does a shitty ass job at it
& KNOWS deep down
that YOU KNOW THEY'RE LYING
but DOES SO ANYWAYS
just to avoid
ADMITTING
that you were
RIGHT
years ago when you said
that maybe
they were about to make
the biggest mistake ever.

It's even worse
when even though
you KNOW
they're lying
& are miserable,
that a certain family member
of theirs
VALIDATES
those suspicions
as TRUTH!

Hey, you wanna live your life unhappily putting on a show for the rest of the world while secretly being miserable & missing your old life, your old friends, your old 'self'?

Be.
My.
Guest.

But
DO NOT
come into
MY HOUSE
&
PRETEND THAT
NOTHING
HAPPENED,
THAT
NOTHING
CHANGED,
THAT
NOTHINGS WRONG
WITH
YOU
TRYING
TO
HUG
ME!



It's sad, it pisses me off & it should never have ended up like this, ever.

But, it did, & you chose this life...

...as the saying goes;

you made your bed, now lie in it.

I'll be over here enjoying my life,
sadly,
without the 'you' I used to know...

...& love.

Crazy Bitches!!!!

Ok so I sign online today and I get an IM from one of my "friends" who proceeds to FREAK OUT on me for not talking to her for like a week. Are you fucking serious?! I'm sorry I have a wife, daughter, and work to deal with!!!! Not to mention all the other day to day bullshit that comes along with life and she's bitching about that?! This is what she IMs me with:

CrazyBitch: Are u avoiding me? Well whatever i am canceling the gym. Its not like u use it.

Ummm .. what the fuck? I've been too busy to talk to her so therefore I am avoiding her and because I haven't gone to the gym with her that means I'm not using the membership, huh glad I was clued in on that!!!! Then she starts calling me "shady" because she's the one paying for the gym membership and she's now out of work and "can't afford it". Let me break it down for you. She wanted to join the gym and didn't want to go alone. I told her that it wasn't in our budget and we just couldn't do it at the time. She offered to have her DADDY pay for it since he pays for ALL of her bills. Yes, ALL of them. He pays her rent, cell phone, car insurance, etc. She's currently on food stamps and cash assistance because she's not working. Why isn't she working? Simply because she's too fucking lazy to get a job. She's had about a dozen jobs in the time that I've known her (which really isn't that long). She's been FIRED from each job she's had.

Then she's claiming poverty about having to support herself and my niece (which you know about all the damn drama from previous posts). She's not supporting herself or my niece her father is so why the hell is she bitching about me not paying for her gym membership?????? It's not like she's charged extra for me to be on it. They were doing a two for one deal so if she takes me off the membership and keeps hers she's still paying the same amount!!!! Numerous times over the last year she has complained about paying for the membership and I have told her to cancel the membership if it was a problem for her to pay for it. Each and every time her daddy came to her rescue and put $$ in her account to cover ALL her expenses.

She sends me this message and then signs off so I can't reply:

U can take the girl out of the trash but u cant take the trash out of the girl. Goodbye

So now I'm trash??? I'm the ONLY friend this girl had. She doesn't really have any family here besides her dad and her step mom (her dad secretly gives her $ w/o her step mom knowing cause she'd get pissed) yet they have a adopted son that they spoil to no end. I've been the one who has listened to her bitch and complain about my brother in law. I'm the one who has given her advice and fought with my wife's family because of my friendship with her. Yet, regardless of the backlash I suffered I maintained my friendship with her all for her to turn psycho on me?! I didn't even do anything to deserve it!!!!!!

My wife has been saying for MONTHS that she has a crush on me. The girl would buy me stuff, show up at places, call me, etc. I told my wife she was nuts, but now after not talking to her for a week and having her FREAK OUT on me I'm thinking maybe she was right.

Your thoughts????

It shouldn't be this hard!!!

When I got married three years ago, I decided I wanted my bridal shower to be a surprise. I was going to be totally hands off, which is hard for me to do, and just let it happen. I figured I had enough stress getting ready for the wedding, I didn't need any more. Well, that didn't work so well. My sister, who was my maid of honor, had just moved to Washington D.C. for school, so she was not close by to arrange anything. The rest of my bridesmaids were scattered around the state and country , no one seemed to want to take charge and friends who had offered to help dropped the ball. I got more phone calls asking me what was going on than I can count. In the end, my mom put something together, it was mostly a surprise, but by this time I knew something was up. Then my husband, being a dumb boy, didn't think to include a number of important females in his life, friends moms who he's known for years, wives/girlfriends of friends things like that..so there were some hurt feelings and I was perceived as a snob who didn't want to include his friends. ( I fixed that real quick and totally told them to blame Hubby, since it was a surprise to me..and they all did! He won't make that mistake again).
So when I found out I was pregnant, I decided to take a more hands on approach to my shower. I know Emily Post would have heart failure to know that I basically planned my own shower, and some friends thought it was tacky, but fuck em. After the stress of the bridal shower, I figured the more involved I was the less could go wrong and I need more stress now like I need a hole in my head!!! So my mom and I put our heads together and came up with a date and time. We decided to hold it at my in-laws church building since it was big and there was room for kids to run and...well..it was free. My mom was a bit stressed and didn't really want to deal with the invitations, understandable since she did the bridal shower ones. I figured it would be really tacky for me to send them out. Enter our friend we'll call Morgan. She offered to help out and was really excited to do it. Now I doubt that Morgan will ever have children of her own, so I figured this was her living it out through me. So I went to the fifth level of Hell knows as Babies R Us and picked up the free, fill in the blank invitations,they give you if you register there. I printed out all the address labels for the guests and even return labels for Morgan. All she had to do was fill in the one sided invitation, throw in some directions and stick them in the mail. I gave her this stuff in JANUARY. A couple weeks went by and no one had received anything. Then disaster struck Morgan and her girlfriend ended up in the hospital with a blood clot in her lungs and a week later Morgan had a heart attack. Not to be insensitive, but a one point I called her in the hospital and asked what the status was with the invites, we were less than two weeks away from the RSVP and no one had seen one and people were asking questions. Turns out they hadn't been sent yet!!!!!!! ARE YOU FUCKEN KIDDING ME!!!!! YOU"VE HAD THE SHIT FOR THREE WEEKS....I know there has been sickness and this wasn't a priority, but shouldn't they have been out BEFORE you all got sick. So I told Morgan's girlfriend that if there was too much stuff going on, I would come down and pick up the invites and get them sent out. She PROMISED it would be done that weekend. And it was.

All is well now right??? WRONG!!!!

The problem. Well at least 1/3 that I know of HAVE THE WRONG FUCKEN DATE!! HOW DO YOU SEND OUT INVITATION, THAT HAS THE WRONG DATE!! I MEAN THE WHOLE THING IS WRONG, DAY, DATE MONTH EVERYTHING IS WRONG! THE FUCKEN INVITES AREN'T EVEN THE ONES I GAVE HER, NOWHERE DOES IT SAY THAT IT IS A BABY SHOWER (i thought it was obvious but apparently some people thought it was some weird religious ceremony that they had missed) IT NEGLECTS TO MENTION THAT I AM REGISTERED AT THE FIFTH LEVEL OF HELL AND THERE IS NO ADDRESS TO THE FUNCTION HALL. Oh, and did I mention that I don't even know if everyone got them, cause three family members didn't!!!!!!
Now, I can't very well yell at the girl cause she just had a heart attack. And I know that her heart was in the right place in wanting to make the invitations more special and all that shit. HOWEVER, if you are going to volunteer to do something this important for someone, be sure that you: A. have the time, B. have the intention, and C. ARE RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH TO GET IT FUCKEN DONE!!!! The sad thing is, part of me expected this. I love Morgan to pieces, but there is always some drama in her life that causes her to not always be 100% reliable. I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt because I KNOW she is excited about the baby and this is as close as she'll get. But now this shower as turned into stress central. I had to make a million phone calls to be sure everyone got the correct date and knows about the registry and all that other stuff. The shower is this weekend and my mom still doesn't even know how many people are coming, because Morgan has gone MIA again. So come this Saturday, there could be 10 people at my shower, there could be 50, who the hell knows.

I swear, next time I"m just gonna do it my self.

I need a drink!

You Know What Sucks...?

...BUYING A WHOLE PACKAGE OF BRAND NEW AA BATTERIES
(EXPENSIVE ONES I MIGHT ADD!)
WITH EVERY INTENTION OF USING THEM
IN YOUR FABULOUS FANTASM'ORGASMIC ELECTRICAL FRIEND
&
NOT BEING IN THE MOOD TO SO MUCH AS OPEN THE PACKAGE,
NEVER MIND ACTUALLY PUTTING THEM IN THEIR NEW HOME
& CRANKIN' THAT PUPPY UP TO FULL THROTTLE!

What the FUCK is wrong with me tonight?

You know, this isn't a big deal, it's life as I know it... single, get my own rocks off, big deal, it's normal for me.
SO WHY TONIGHT AM I NOT EVEN IN THE MOOD FOR ANYTHING?
You know, it's one thing when another person isn't in the mood to be with you in that way
BUT IT'S ANOTHER ALL TOGETHER
WHEN IT'S YOU
WHO DOESN'T WANT TO BE WITH YOU!

So that's the state of things right now & to top it all off,
I literally, TONIGHT, have come to the decision that, fuck it-
never mind it 'not being fair to someone else' for me to go on a date if my heart was otherwise occupied elsewhere,
NOW
I've realized that
IT'S NOT FAIR TO ME
to sit
&
wait
&
wait
&
wait
for said 'owner of my heart'
TO COME TO HIS FUCKING SENSES!

The hell with that, I'm done worrying about what's fair for others!
It's time for me to worry about what's fair for ME!
And tonight, ME wants to MOVE ON & find myself a nice, new DATE!

You know,
I'd suggest the handsome man I recently had a desire to kiss,
after all, the boy is, in a word...
CHARMING AS HELL!
(ok, so that's 3 words... so sue me!)

He's not off the table, probably won't be since I don't suspect his charm will ever become old hat for me. He's truly a wonderful friend but if I'm being completely honest, his humor & wit is like a breath of fresh air, not to mention he flirts like a true animal.

I DIG THAT!

I just gotta get myself out of this god damned RUT I'm in
&
MOVE THE FUCK ON!

Any ASSvice?
Please, spare me nothing, SPEAK CANDIDLY HERE, after all...

Just Because I Can...

Those Moments...

It's funny how
if I look back on the moments of my life
that are worth remembering,
you're almost always a part of them.
How did that happen?
How did our lives become these series of interwoven moments
that we now lovingly refer to as
'our history'.
It is our history and nobody can ever take that away.
I like that.
I like knowing that I know you in a way that most people don't...
...and you know me just as well.
It's comfortable,
it's comforting,
it's another one of those 'moments'
that makes me proud to call us friends.
I know life isn't always easy
& things are gonna get tossed our way that we don't expect
& might have a hard time getting through,
but I also know that with each other at our sides
& our friendships to fall back on,
we're gonna do alright.

'Moments' will happen in our lives
that make us realize that we're not only better for knowing each other,
but truly blessed as well.
Life goes by all too fast,
and tonight,
I just wanted to take a moment to let you know
that you mean the world to me
& I'm happy you're in my life...

...& even though you don't always believe me,
I truly do love you in a way that I have no words to express it that give it justice.
Maybe someday, you'll see yourself through my eyes...
...& when that happens,
you'll understand how I feel.
Until then, know that you'll always have a friend in me,
no matter what,
because you are one of my 'moments'
that I never want to end.

The Insanely Asinine Antics of ASSHOLES & THE WOMEN WHO LOVE THEM!

Why is it that guys just DON'T EVER FUCKING GET IT?
Why?
I read, on *on a daily basis mind you* True Wife Confessions
(or as I like to call it TWC... see link at bottom of blog to check it out)
&
it's proof positive that guys are,
for the most part,
INSENSITIVELY IMMATURE ASSHOLES!

So many women, dream of their 'one',
think they've 'found "him"',
get married
&
POOF!

WHO THE FUCK IS THIS SCHLEP NEXT TO ME WHO INSTANTLY FORGETS ALL THOSE LITTLE THINGS HE WAS SO EAGER TO DO PRIOR TO OUR GETTING HITCHED?
Why, when the milk isn't free, do they WORK SO LOVINGLY for it?
The SECOND they realize that they're about to not only marry the
*excuse the expression*
cow, but inherit the entire barn,
that they think it gives them cart blanch to just do the most
ASININE THINGS ON THE PLANET?

AND furthermore, WHY, when they're still in that 'oh so dreamy ooh la la' dating phase,
do they ALSO have their moments of SHEER STUPIDITY?

You have a girl who loves you, she's told you OVER AND OVER that she loves you, she's made it perfectly clear that she's in love, not just 'loves you' but is IN LOVE with YOU...

...what do you do?

Well, apparently I've fallen in love with a school boy because if memory serves, when I was in grade school & a boy would be mean or ignore me or do something stupid,
it meant he liked me.

SO, if this person who I have stupidly professed my love to,
goes OVER A WEEK without so much as a single phone call,
am I just then to assume that he's still not a 'grown up' even at 28?
Apparently so.

It's completely INSANE to me that someone who returns *on occasion* this affection for me, would let this much time go by without so much as a fucking phone call.

(& never mind an email or a text, sadly- he can do neither!)

The worst part about all this is this;

I am fairly certain that in all this time that's gone by, he's not thought of me more than once, twice IF that.
Where I have thought of him every day, sometimes multiple times a day.

Why, do you ask?

MAYBE BECAUSE IT'S NOT BOYS WHO ARE THE STUPID ONES,
PERHAPS IT'S US WOMEN WHO NEED A GOOD BOOT TO THE HEAD?!?!!

I dunno, all I know is that I do NOT chase guys,
never have & don't intend to start NOW, period.

You know, if it weren't for other things going so right in my life I might really have just cause for losing my marbles tonight, but honestly... aside from stupid boys, life is surprisingly GOOD.
So, he doesn't wanna call?
FUCK HIM THEN!

I can lead a boy to love but I cannot make him fall.

I'm gonna go get some tea, anyone else care to join me?

****WORK****

I am having the hardest time finding a job. I have been looking since Sept and of course the husband is on my frigen ass. I am a certified dental assistant why am i having such a hard time. I receive two different newspapers which I check them daily, I have about 15 different websites that I also check once sometimes twice daily. I just went on a working interview today and got the "We have a few more interviews to conduct" And The ever so nice "We will get back to you" speech. UUGGHH i am sick of the bullshit just tell me i'm sorry your not what we are looking for don't keep me hanging, or waste my time.

ignorance given wings

This one's probably going to piss people off, but we're here to vent and have an open forum on life. I'm opening the fucking forum wide the fuck open.

The War in Iraq.

Got an opinion on it? Got an idea on what we should do? Have a strong feeling about it? Etc. etc.?

Well, do you know someone over there? Were/are you in the military? Are you a trained military tactician? Did you know someone in the September 11th attacks? (No, not the Twin Tower tragedy, the Sept. 11th Attacks, the Pentagon and United 93 happened too, and if you forget about that then you're an idiot and an ignorant piece of shit)

If you answered no to the bottom questions, then SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm SO sick and fucking tired of people talking about something that they know nothing about. It seems every John and Jane Doe has a fucking opinion on it, and they just LOVE talking about it at the most inappropriate places and times. They also LOVE trying to convey how passionate they are about it.

If you were really passionate about it, you'd spend all day sending Congress letters that you had INTELLIGENTLY put together after thoroughly researching the facts and situation.

Did you do that?
Did you RESEARCH your fucking facts? And no, CNN, FOX, and whatever else station spouts their nonesense doesn't count. Being able to recite what some fuckbag on the television said does not make you (insert your dumbass political party here), it makes you a good little conformist.

And I LOVE how people pin it all on President Bush. ::sarcasm:: Oh yes, he's such an evil, evil man. Boo hoo, the world is coming to an end because of the dumb Texan.::/sarcasm:: Blaming someone else is just there to make YOU feel better. If you don't like something, do something about it. I have my own opinions about the man, and I'm sure you do to. The difference is, I don't give a FUCK what you think about another human being. You want to judge someone by their actions? Okay, let me give it a whirl.

Since you seem to be so content to blab about your political stance, I imagine that you're not that comfortable with it. You just want to hear it out loud. Or maybe that's not it. Maybe you just want to connect with someone. Maybe you just want to gossip. Maybe you just want to start shit to feel better about yourself by making someone else look bad. You know what that makes you? A bully. A trash talking, weak minded, conviction-less bully.

So do the world a favor, and the next time you have the impulse to say something about something that you know next-to-nothing about (and yes, you do know next-to-nothing, like it or not), please God, cut your genitalia out. You're clearly FAR too ignorant to breed.

Disclaimer 2: If you're going to leave me a comment about how fighting is barbaric and stupid, go crack a history book and educate yourself on how fighting got us where we are. Not talking about Civil War, Revolutionary, or either of the World Wars, I'm talking about how humans fought eachother for dominance and animals for survival. Then, after your tree-hugging, hemp-weaving ass figures out we're genetically encoded for fighting, kill yourself.

Disclaimer 3: Yes, we should be evolving past the point where we feel the need to fight, but we haven't yet. Get over it. Now go kill yourself.

Disclaimer 4: Yes, evolution, it exists. I don't care if you believe in God or not, but there is SCIENTIFIC FUCKING EVIDENCE THAT IT EXISTS, so if you think it doesn't exist, it's as dumb as saying trees don't exist. They do, it does. Get over it.

Never Trust A Skinny...

...COOK!

So I was watching a little FOOD NETWORK today
& who should grace my screen with her skinny ass but the lil Italian bitch herself:



Giada De Laurentiis!


Is she beautiful?
Sure!
Does she love to cook?
I guess so...
DOES SHE EVER TRULY EAT WHAT SHE COOKS?
DOUBTFUL!

My guess is that she puts on a good show & she's clearly easy on the eyes
BUT
anyone THAT SKINNY
who claims to be a fantastic cook
& doesn't put her pancetta where her mouth is,
IS JUST A BIG TALKER IN MY BOOK!

Sure she has a 'taste' of this & a 'bite' of that
but my money says that once the segment is done taping
& the show goes to commercial,
she bolts straight for the bathroom to purge the shit right back up!

I just don't get it, unless she's swallowed a tape worm the size of Italy,
there is no way in HELL that she eats what she makes.

I'm here to tell you that ITALIANS CAN COOK & THEY CAN EAT JUST AS WELL!

I can't 'trust' a recipe from someone her size
who barely picks at her dishes like a bird on crack, ya know?


You wanna know someone I love to watch whos cooking I trust?

Who else but the:



BAREFOOT CONTESSA!



See that neck?
See that lovely roll that says;
"yes I can cook & damn it I can eat too cuz this shits GOOD!"

That's a woman whose cooking I'd take to the bank!

Nuff said.

Oh there's a sweet lil' head I'd like to hatchet. Her name is Ego-Whore. Being cool is her crack,baby.

She's destroyed the heart of one of my dearest 'n best friends (Spaceboy), is continuing to destroy the heart of another (Shiny Torn) and because she was my best friend, I can safely say she destroyed mine (for awhile but I am steel, i tell you, STEEL ; )

Spaceboy is staying with us for awhile and he drinks and he drinks and he drinks.

He has since I've known him, tho' I'd say it got worse,ah, right about the time she left him for Shiny, offered to still service him sexually in exchange for the apple mac and his double bed and called the house we all shared the next night to see if she could bring Shiny home. Ja.

So for Spacey- Jagermeister for breaky until the last hospitality career facilitated beer at 3am. HEALTHY.

Not to mention (I'm barefoot, I can mention!) that I have this weird knack of seeing what I call 'The Mark' on (or above people). Ok we'll be getting a little strange here but bear with me..... When I meet someone not only do I sense and feel and read what they are thinking/feeling I can usually see a fucking split second mindblowing montage of their past and some future (dependant on their future choices, which are, pardon me, often fuckin braindead parodies of what they could and FUCKING SHOULD be doing) ah, I digress.....

People who have 'The Mark' are flattish in the area of future. I can't see them old. Just can't. And I feel a grief akin to having just found out they are terminally ill. It sounds like delusions of grandeur I know or at least some wierd schizophrenic action but I haven't met many with 'The Mark', (Glory b 2 GAWD ) but those I have, have died. (Apparently even as a young baby I was terribly averse to sick people, even before they knew they were sick)
Haysoos, this here's honesty.

Ah my point is Spaceboy has The Mark and he is one of my dearest friends and the process is accelerating and SHE made it worse. Dirty Parasitical Egomanical Ska/unk Whore Bitch.

(And once I loved her: I think that's the craw-stickin' bit, I loved her, WTFUCK is wrong with me???!!!!)

Spacey is 24 and has already been told by the doctor he has the body of a 70 yr old man. Yeah. He parties.

I have just been outside having a conversation with him & he has admitted to me that he knows exactly what's happening and exactly what will transpire and he CAN't stop it. Just can't.

I have moved safely through the stages of grief and am firmly and necessarily stuck at anger. I'm a firm believer in the power of thought and with each (involuntary??) imagining of Ego-Whore's lil' head crashing firmly into a brick wall with a satisfying thud, I can only hope she is at least getting a headache.

I don't wanna feel like this.... I'm nice. But after supporting her for a year or more, assuming (ass- u- me: yeah) she'd give ah..... working a go. Or at least maybe dishes. At the very least..... activity.

After still having a $6000 student loan to pay back from time I lived with her lazy selfish ass. (Judge Judy would slaughter me for that one)
After seeing the swift downfall of my beautiful Spaceboy.
After having Shiny wrenched away from me and fucked up even more.
After watching Parasitical Ego-Whore's brother (My boyfriend) fail and get kicked out of school (despite the fact he's a FUCKING GENIUS) coz he was the only one left at our house to care for the weeping aching para-fucking-lytic pieces of Spaceboy........

I'm, ah, how u say..... a wee.... bit..... angwy.

You know what tho' fellow feeters??? The thing....... the thing that really gets me tonight
(On Shiny's birthday)
is that when Spaceboy ran into her tonight (in all her pretentious glory) (Small towns, who'd live in 'em!)
..........................

(Books+Me=DeepEverlastingEntirely Co-Dependant LOVE)

(I am not petty nor trivial nor MEAN ; )
(Nor Shallow) (as a general rule)

BUT HE TOLD HER ABOUT MY NEW FAVOURITE AUTHOR.

And I tell u what, if I see that bitch reading ANY of his books then I will draw the FUCKING Mark myself.

Why am I so jealous?

Lately I have been noticing these new cars - BMW, Lexus and MB. And also who is driving these new cars. These are young kids that just got out of high school or starting a new job. Me, I am driving a used and getting pretty old "mom" car. How come they have these nice fancy car and I am driving my old car? You know why, because this generation expects it. Please can you get one of them in a hand-me-down car? No I heard one of them telling their parent, they would not be caught driving their car. Go ahead, when you are driving around, check out all the nice fancy luxury car. See how many of them are these kids I am talking about.

Yes, I am jealous but guess what? With the insurance rate and how often they are stolen, I am glad to be driving a "mom" car.

An Open Letter To My Ex:

I really wish you would just resign yourself to the fact that you don't know what you're doing when it comes to women. When we were together, it was nice but it's over now & we're JUST FRIENDS! I've made this perfectly clear & for a while, you had a hard time with that, or you claimed to be 'ok' with it but the reality was you were calling me more often than my most frequent friend callers, more than a few times DAILY!
Ok, no biggie, I can deal with that, after all, it's part of what being a 'friend' is all about right?
Then you met miss "my kids deserve the world & you're going to provide it for them" girl & you suddenly disappeared.
Again, no biggie, we're just friends, so if you spending more time with a new love than chatting with me is what you wanted, as your friend, I sat by & watched & waited... for the inevitable.

Knock, Knock: Who's there?

INEVITABLE CALLING!

It's amazing to me that after all these months of 'on again, off again' bullshit with the greedy wench, you STILL haven't seen what she's all about?

Why is it that when I told you MONTHS ago that you were nothing more than a ride & a wallet to her that you DIDN'T LISTEN, yet NOW that's what you're saying to me? LOL

I just find it funny.

I'll still be your friend,
even though you're a sporadic one at best,
and I'll even still listen to your endless stories of how you played her,
when honestly if you ask me,
she played you just as much in return.

Just do me one favor could ya?

IF you ever get back with le'douche,
DO NOT TELL ME ABOUT IT!

I honestly have heard enough about her, her bastard children & her insane ex husband to last a lifetime.

Thank you.

Signed:

'Just Your Friend'.

How Unbelievably Kewl...

...is THIS shit!

You know, for a communist country who supposedly 'bans' all blogs,
they do enjoy their daily dose of some
BAREFOOT BLOGGING, DON'T THEY?!

Insured Insanity Part 2

So here it is Saturday - and I still do not have my pills!!! The damn automated system says that it is "in progress". What the hell does that mean? I have to say, though, that the "real" person I talked to the other day gave me a tip we can all use. If you want to talk to a real person - and the automated system is making you either speak your answers or key them in - do nothing. Say nothing, type in nothing....it will dump you into a real person's lap. I used to just start hitting "0" zero repeatedly and that used to work. Not with this sight - apparently it was wise to that trick.

All I want are my stupid pills.....now.

Screw the fucking IRS and my Husband

OK, So hubby and I had the Taxes done today and what happened you ask. We have to pay a total of $1200 to the IRS. I know that we cashed out some stocks and 401k but i had put the money aside for the taxes and slowly my husband found that certain things were more important to buy rather than not touch that money, i wanted to put in new Doors with the money that we had but nooooooo. We can wait he says and now we don't even have a return for use to pay for the home owner's insurance and the the 2 car insureance's that are due in about a month or so and not to mention the excise tax's that are due soon too. uuuugggggghhhhhh
I wish he would just listen to when i speak and try to tell him that his ideas are not always best. Now we both hve to suffer over this.

To My Wife

Darlin Wife,

Why is it that whenever something has to be done I am the one who has to do it??? Last night I had my WW Meeting and I wasn't going to be home until after 7. I knew that I'd be home late and YOU knew that every Thursday I have my meeting so I asked you to take something out of the freezer and pop it in the micro so it would be thawed when I got home. I was starving and wanted to be able to make dinner so do you think in the HOUR AND A HALF that you were home you could of done this?! Nope!!!!! Instead you pull the "i didn't know what to take out" bullshit. So now it's 7:30 and I have to defrost porkchops, shake & bake them so we don't eat until 8:15!!! THEN you have the NERVE to get pissy with me because our daughter was up late!!!! Are you fucking kidding me?

On Friday's I go to Yoga/Pilates at the gym. I've been doing it every Friday for the last month. So last night you decide to throw a little fit about how if I go then that means our daughter will be at my parents house "having fun" and she won't be in bed on time. I realize she's grounded and that she's supposed to be in bed by 7 as part of said punishment. If I went to Yoga I would get out at 6:30 and I'd be home around 7, but dinner wouldn't be ready so she'd have to stay up and eat. Why? because you're too fucking lazy to get off your ass and MAKE dinner!!!!! So instead you'll sit on the couch and watch tv or play on the computer until *I* get home and make dinner!

So now I have to skip my yoga class and come straight home after work so that our daughter can be home, fed and in bed by 7 because she's grounded. Hey, what do you care, you're not the one missing out on anything now are you???????

GET OFF YOUR ASS AND MAKE YOUR OWN GOD DAMN DINNER!!!!!!!!

While you're at it clean the house too.

MR. Groundhog...

...DID NOT SEE HIS SHADOW!

Damn it... that means an early spring.
GRRRRRRRRRR

WHERE IS MY SNOW?
WHERE ARE MY SNOWMEN?
WHERE IS MY SLEDDING?
WHERE ARE MY SNOW ANGELS?
WHERE ARE MY SNOWBALL FIGHTS?

Is it wrong to be a little pissed off at Mother Nature?

Or perhaps I should just make some GROUNDHOG STEW!
Dinner anyone...?

Insure me that I won't go insane....

What is with Insurance Companies??? For the last year I have been taking Ovcon 35 - the pill. I have been taking it to regulate my periods - which had become WAY too heavy and were seriously getting in the way of living my life. Miracle pills, they are! I went from having to wear 2 Super Plus Tampons and a Super Maxi Pad (all at the same time) and changing numerous times per day - I would literally go thru 2 boxes of Pearl tampons (at nearly $5 a crack) to no tampons whatsoever, and maybe 3 pads per day (if that) But I digress.....so all along my insurance company has taken care of the majority of the cost - with me having to make a co-pay of about $40 per month. Long about Oct. for whatever reason - I was switched (by whom I don't know) to Balziva - which is the generic version of Ovcon 35. Not a big deal - and only $15 per co-pay! So along comes January. I am due for my yearly - and will be getting a new prescription. I procrastinate and cannot get in until Feb 1. Meanwhile, I need a refill on The Pills. I email Walgreens and they will take care of it. Then I get an email back saying that the insurance company is looking for what they call a "Prior Authorization". I have no clue what this is - so I am thinking that Walgreens is taking care of it. They are not. Apparently my Dr.'s office needs to fax something to the insurance company before they will "Authorize" it. Now did anyone inform my Dr.'s office of this? No. So a week goes by - I now need the pills - yet I cannot get them (unless I want to pay the full amount - which is $90 - FOR GENERIC!!!) Finally I call the Insurance Co. and they update me on what they need. I call the Dr.'s office - give them the fax # so they can fax "the form". Which they do - last Friday. Then again this past Monday. Still - nothing. I call the insurance co. yesterday - and after 20 minutes in their "automated system" I finally get to speak to a real live person! She says there has been nothing received - even though it has been faxed twice now. She sets up a "case number" so that it will be easier. At this point my appt. is the next day, so I'm figuring we will start from scratch. I have the appt. today - get the new prescription (and a free sample to hold me over). Take the prescription to Walgreens - who says they still are waiting for this "prior authorization". WTF??? I have never been in such a screwed up system as this. I can't even imagine what it is like for people with catastrophic illnesses who have to battle for their very lives. I mean, I know this is small potatoes, but it is so frustrating! They have been paying all along - and NOW they need to authorize it??? I know, I know "Thank God you have insurance.....many don't". I am thankful - and will be even more so when this gets taken care of. That's my rant - for today anyway
