What's bugging you? Pour your heart out here! Sometimes we just need to vent!

Yeah my car stalled once and could start. Other motorists were po'd I was nervous luckily o was able to get it started. My mom was with me, and luckily I was able to vent to my sister. That helped

And 90% of the time there is never a problem with the car until you have somewhere to go! Like work or an appointment or something.

Yeah I had an interview which I missed. Just a few minutes ago I had 2 real butt holes

Can you reschedule the interview? Most employers are understanding about this sort of thing and would schedule it for another day. Cashier's work is subject to the grumpy customer. I used to wait tables and I will tell you, hungry people are not always easy to please! LOL!

He complained I was taking to long cause I was talking I wasn't taking that long. Real @$$ hole

Well, you know. When a cashier talks to another customer, the person tends to feel that the talking is holding up the line even if it isn't. He must have been late to something. Just remember his face. When you see him coming try to talk less or something. Maybe it will help him.

Yeah.

No it okay I have a job

There are THUNDERSTORMS headed toward my area as I type this out. They should be arriving between 3:00 and 4:00

Trouble is, it just so happens that I have to be at a therapist appointment at 3:00!!

Which means I will be driving in the midst of said storms!

I have a SEVERE thunderstorm phobia, as I was caught in a BAD ONE a few years back!

I am known to hang out with ear plugs in my windowless bathroom until thunderstorms pass. Today, I may wind up driving right through one!

SMH

Remain calm and just go to your appointment today

I am a little afraid of storms too. I do not have the phobia that you have, but driving in them is nerve wrecking!

Maybe you can try to calm yourself before you drive through? Sometimes taking a few deep breaths and affirming aloud that it is going to be okay helps. I am sorry you have to deal with driving in that storm. I know dreading it is probably wrecking your nerves. (HUGS!)

I'm fixin' to leave momentarily, but below is the link to the radar now

I may just make it to the appointment and back to run back up here to my apartment and crawl under the couch before the thunder starts! LOL

My tiny state of RI is to the right on the radar

That's a huge line of storms eh? You will get there and back before that thing hits and it won't be so bad because at least you won't be driving in it! I used to stress out about storms so bad I couldn't stand to be in my own skin. I would be glued to the weather channel counting the minutes until the thing was due to pass! Somehow over time my anxiety about storms and bad weather somehow dissolved. Now I am the one stepping out in the porch to see what's going on out there! LOL!

A female acquaintance of mine in NORTHWEST TEXAS told me about her hubby who used to stand outside for hours waiting to see a tornado form! lol

Now I have never wanted to do that! I have a limit! I did get caught up in a crazy hail storm once though! We lived in South Carolina. I went to Quizno's to grab some subs for dinner. The sky was BLACK. I had never seen anything like it in all my life. I was so scared standing in that restaurant. Then their power went out. Then the hail s began pouring from the sky. I was afraid we were going to get some massive tornado. Finally the weather cleared and I started back toward home, and the hail started up again! EEEK! I was skeert!

Hail storms are the worst part of a storm cause they can damage your windshield if you are driving and glass shards could get in your eyes

Right! I turned the windshield wipers on hoping to knock them out of the way. In Colorado they once had hail the size of a cantaloupe. Killed some folks!

And roofs also

Cuz we wanna see it before it's takes out the farm house

My husband works nights too so he sleeps in the daytime. So it's trying to keep them entertained /quiet, it's 300 degrees now so playing outside is limited to a wading pool and hose, driving anywhere is a hassle because the 2 babies hate car seats, I don't get sleep at night and hardly ever a moment of peace in the day. But I keep telling myself this too shall pass and they will all be in college and I'll be missing these moments (as I'm enjoying my empty house probably in a bubble bath eating bon-bons) lol

I wish we were neighbors! I would gladly help you out in some way! My husband works a 12 hr rotating shift and when the kids were small it was hard trying not to wake him up. Especially in a two bedroom apartment! But yeah, one day you will have some relief. As they get older they get a little better about being able to do for themselves a bit which is really nice.

The shit in political stream got to stop

I don't debate over there for that reason! I do not have it in me to engage in that way. I try to stick to humor. And I am thankful that no one ever tries to argue in my joke memes! I know some people are crazy rude and do all the name calling and insults and trolling. And some of that really can tax the sanity!

I think it’s just a matter of perspective.

It’s hard to reconcile differing opinions, and also to withstand some prodding, trolling, or name calling! If you distance yourself from the emotions of getting caught up in a disagreement, the political stream (and politicsTOO) is actually not so bad!

In opposite world lol :/

Who knows that storm could fizzle out and do nothing

Mom and little brother are pissing me off

What are they doing?

Little brother for telling about something at swim. He's 14. He shouldn't be a tattle tale. And mom for reporting it

!4 year olds will do that. Unfortunately. I assume you got in trouble for whatever he told? Or maybe it will affect you in someway? Siblings are frustrating people. Even at my age I still find mine irritate me.

No I didn't get in trouble. But yeah it affects me. He wrote everything that this kid was telling me and snitched

UGH... well now you know that he will do that. One day someone will do the same thing to him. It always comes back! Meanwhile, don't have talks of an important nature when he is nearby. Sorry that he did that to you!

Kid was kind of harassing me but I ignored it and my mom made a super big deal out of it

Yeah... Mothers do that don't they. It's irritating. I despise people getting up i my business. I have never been accepting of that. But as a mother, I too may anger my kids by doing just that.

And what he was doing wasn't bothering me

So someone just assumed, or just decided to be a butt head. My brothers and sisters used to seriously wear my nerves out. Nothing was sacred. Maybe you can tell him how much that bothered you and get him to see his error. Ask him how he would like it. Maybe he would reconsider doing that again if he thinks about that.

No cuz then he would tell my mom about that too

Well you said you're 16 right? The good news is you only have a couple of years until you can move out. LOL. He won't be able to bug you then.

My mom kind of has a totalitarian grip on me. She already told me what college in going into and I'm like no

Yeah. I am the goofy one around here. Sometimes he's got a good joke in him. But usually it's all me laughing at my own jokes. LOL

Guess he's worn out

He seemed to. He's not the most reactive person. It's like talking to a robot sometimes.

Ooof but thatS ok

Well, he has been married to me for 12 years. And the 13 years prior to that I was a lot more goofy. So he is over it.

Cheers to that

Well, I hope you feel better after talking about it today. I am going to bed. I just realized it's 11pm.

Thanks peace

Yes he did. LOL.

Did he like it

I did end up homeless later on. But I always managed to find a way. I still would have preferred living on the street over living at home though. LOL

By the way did your husband get the joke

Thankfully a friend's mom took me in. I tried to go live with my dad but he wouldn't have me. I was worried I would be on the street.

Yeah you where lucky

Yeah you will actually. They can't make you do anything then. Unless you keep living in their house, they then can reasonably say, "My house, my rules." I got kicked out of the house when I was still in highschool, myself. So they weren't dictating me anymore.

WHere did you go

See... I feel like there are some parents who really do feel they can control everything their kids do. I have never seen any good come from that. At the end of the day you will do what you want when you are of legal age.

Fortunately I'll be 18 when I'm a senior so I hope I'll have the law on my side
