What pissed you off today?

[AbiNormyl]

Kids. I quit watching my nieces full time when their dad quit working; if he isn't working then it is good for him to watch his own children.

I now have them again full time. OMG it is awful. Everything I had taught them has gone to crap and we are having to start all over again. I had them saying please and thank you but not demanding. I had them picking up after themselves. I had them being nice to each other for the most part. Now I am having to reteach all of it....again.

I woke up this morning with the lens of my glasses stuck to my left boob and the frame all bent out of shape and twisted in the bedclothes. Probably serves me right for trying to edit a report for a client late at night in bed, but damn!!

I hate going to the optometrist so much. There's only two in my town and I don't like either of them. It's the bloody questions they ask, you know, the "Is the shape on the right clearer of more blurry? Is it darker or lighter? Is it sharp or fuzzy?" For some reason those questions make me really nervous and I can't make up my mind what to answer - It's like I am scared of saying the 'wrong' thing.

I am such an egg sometimes.

sick of being on the fucking fringes, like some stranger

Eh, it is a MAJOR road. It is literally the main drag in this burg, and thousands of cars go by. And nothing actually happens on this specific stretch because it is so high profile, and the cops do keep it clear. It's just annoying though, and a bit worrisome when she gets approached by guys looking for sex.

My fix was to tell her to just take her car, and wait in it until the bus shows up. There's a parking right there at the corner, and she will be able to get to the bus just fine. And sitting in her car she shouldn't get hassled.

Wow, yeah, how is it that the bus stops at the same place where hookers hang out? Are other parents and caregivers waiting there also? If she can wait with the group, that might help.

PRO TIP: Sometimes it a is a clear, non lensed glass piece and as such is neither better nor worse. FUCK. The question will be repeated ad infinitum.

'I cant tell the difference' is a legitimate answer Took me until AFTER my first eye exam was over to realise this.

My brother threatening to commit suicide for the second time in a month. His psychaitrist for not admitting him to the hospital and just leaving him alone. Having to listen to my mom's heart break over an over over this. Watching his three daughters lost, listening to one say my daddy left he went to a new home. Listen to my father flounder because he doesn't know how to fix it. Sitting up at 2 in the morning when i need to sleep because i am so stressed. Sobbing alone because i have to be the "strong" one. My sister in law because she just goes along for the ride instead of doing what is best for the girls.

[minx1]

My h-a-h saying in a really pityful voice ''don't you ever get lonely''

pissed me off because......a. he says it on purpose and b. because yes I fucking do and I constantly try my very best not to. I don't need reminding and I don;t need to think about it.

Because its days like today when I feel more alone than normal


oh and that text.

 

[fishbud]

forgetting im off today plant not working left alarm on so much for sleeping in

 

[UnderYourSpell]

Not so much a pissed off as a sad really following a conversation with hubby that with him being so much older than me, one day I will lose him forever and having no really close family I will be alone. Had a bit of a weep although he doesn't know I did

Sir and I have talked about this as well. He is chronically ill (renal failure) and it is highly likely that He will die before I do. I have no family in Australia and most of our friends live at least a hour's drive away.

However He has said to me that if He has any say in it we will be together for a bloody long time, that He is not going anywhere anytime soon and that I am stuck with Him. We are making the most of the time we will have - we've had almost 6 years together now and hopefully many more.

If it makes you feel just a tad bit better. My granny was diagnosed with renal failure in 2000; she was told she had 5 years to live that most and that was with following the rules and the diet. Yes today in 2009 she is still here, she is in stage 4 but she has no intention of giving up now.

Thank you

Sir has been on some form of dialysis since 2001, and doing haemodialysis since the beginning of 2006. We now do it at home (8 hours 3x week) and have been doing that since 2007, with a break of a few months in the hospital due to a failed fistula. Since August 08 I have been putting the needles in, because His fistula now is on the back of His left forearm, and difficult for Him to see with His shoulders being painful.

Sending good wishes to your granny, she sounds like a very strong woman

You make me realise I should count my blessings but it's still hard isn't it? I made my choice 11 years ago to be with this lovely man nearly old enough to be my father ..... he is 72 now. He's always been my rock the one that's kept me safe even from the ghosts of my childhood what will I ever do without him?

 

[miaction69]

Realising for certain after discussing with a close friend....that I have been fooled by somebody
i thought a great deal of...

Of course it is hard....but don't let it take away from what you have. Make the most of NOW, love him while you have him, and be thankful that you had him for as long as you did when he does go.

*Hugs*

You're so right if things had gone just a tiniest bit different I would never have found him makes you believe that certain things are meant to be

the choices i make today are much like the choices you made eleven years ago. and in time, i will be in the same situation, but i wont regret it then any more then you regret it now. we chose a hard route, but its not untravelled wilderness. others have been there before us and will be after us, and all of them will have loved more deeply then they would have had the chance in a "normal" relationship. if you ever want to talk feel free to PM me.

Going through this sort of thing is absolutely maddening. I've been dealing with it for 20 years with my mother.

Darlin, coming from his side of the equation, that realisation is hard for us too.

The only thing that I can say is to work as hard as you can to make the joy of Now worth the quiet sadness of Then. I'm that way with all relationships, from my partners to my cats. Nothing is forever, so savour the good while you can.

If anything, it makes it taste that much more sweet. Or to paraphrase a zen parable:

"One day while walking through the wilderness, a man stumbled across a vicious tiger. He ran, but soon came to the edge of a high cliff. Desperate to save himself, he climbed down a vine and dangled over the fatal precipice. As he hung there, two mice appeared from a hole in the cliff and began gnawing at the vine. Suddenly, he noticed one the vine a plump wild strawberry. He plucked it and popped it into his mouth. It was incredibly delicious!"

 

[hisgypsy]

This is also more sad than pissed off...

My cat has cancer, and is very near the end, and I have to have him put down and don't want to. He's still getting around and drinking, only eating just a little, so I won't do it yet. But I know we're down to days, won't go into details about his infection, and coming up on a weekend when the vet is closed. And I don't want him to suffer because I'm too afraid to do anything...it makes me angry, why does something like this have to happen???
