The Vent - Part 2

[IR5FORMUMSIE 850]

The thing is, I lent her 300.00 last year to help her with her dress costs and she never even paid me back.

Like you don't borrow that kind of money from someone and then just stop talking to them. Oh wait ya you do... especially if you never planned on paying them back.

Still.. that's not the reason I was given, I was told that they didn't want to invite me if they knew I wouldn't show up. Yet I remember specifically telling my husband last year that my cousin would be getting married and that we'd be going. The date kept changing though because they lost their venue and all that shite.

That's terrible but not at all unusual. Now I know why I don't talk to anyone outside of my immediate family. Been through this sh*t way too many times. Most of my relatives are dead to me.

Yea well she looked like Shamu in her gown.

Okay now I'm just being catty and bitter... but it sure makes me feel better about the whole situation.

So I've called 1 civil surgeon about the I-693 and I'm already frustrated! I got "ummm, I think we do that... want an appointment or something?" Like, buddy, you tell me, what do you want me to do?! I was transferred to 3 different people, and had to explain the situation 3 times. Finally I got transferred to an appointment line and nobody answered the phone!

Have you tried Dr. Arnold so you don't have to go in person anywhere?

No, not yet, she's the backup plan. I read a couple stories here on VJ of people having problems at the AOS interview for having an out of state civil surgeon fill out the form, for whatever reason. That and she apparently never returned July's phone calls, which isn't too reassuring! I'm going to try a couple local people first... Until I get so frustrated I give up

! Oh man... She deserved that

You all know we have a new puppy. He walks so well on a leash. Gene's previous dog, Max never went to the bathroom in anyone else's yard but his own, so I asked Gene how we could train Gilbert to do that. He said, you just don't give them the opportunity. You walk the dog on the sidewalk, don't give him a long leash, keep him heeled to your side, and walk. A walk is exercise, not the opportunity to explore, sniff, eat and #######. So, in the three weeks we've had Gilbert, that's what I do, twice a day. He's yet to relieve himself in anyway during our walks. When we get home, I take him to our backyard, and let him go there. Praising him of course.

All I let my dog do is pee on trees that aren't on like... house property.

I'll let him go on the grass inbetween the sidewalk and the road if it's like an apartment's land or something.

Kids don't usually roll around in that

Not in my complex anyway.

Someone remind me to never EVER take 2 aleve on an empty stomach again.

I had a horrid headache for almost 10 hours, finally took the jump to try aleve because advil hates me and it took like 3 hours to work.

Except my stomach doesn't like it.

I hate throwing up, ugh.

So you expect all dog owners to train their dogs to only poop in their own lawns? I think that is just a bit unreasonable.

It's one thing for a dog to ####### on someones lawn, but something wholely different to not pick it up. I have no problem with people as long as they pick up after their dog.

Well most people think it is unreasonable, that's why no one does it.

I don't have a dog, but my sister had her 1st dog for 11 years and they managed it. She now has 2 more border collies and they manage it, please refer to my first post

I read your first post, it was quite clear. People whose dogs take a dump on your lawn upset you. Thats your prerogative. I try to get my dogs to only do their business on our lawn. But I understand that nature takes its course sometimes and other peoples dogs use it too. If they clean it up, thats the responsible thing to do. If they don't, I'll either say something or pick it up with gloves and throw it at them as they walk away. I wouldn't expect them to drag their dog for blocks with a ####### hanging out of its as$ because they should only use their own grass.

I really did LOL... now my coworkers are looking at me funny.

Having two dogs that go to the bathroom numerous times a day is hard...but if I'm just taking them out for a bathroom break, I always only let them go on our lawn...that is why our lawn has pee spots all over it. I pick up their poop as soon as they go, and throw it in a special mini-garbage can I bought with a lid just for poop.

One time I must have not picked it up on our neighbours lawn, and I came home to find someone had thrown it at our front door. I figure it was the ppl n ext door because they are a bunch of hooligans. They are renters and it's like a teenager, a guy in his 30s who looks strung out all the time, an older guy in his 50s and then a woman that comes by once and awhile. It's weird.

I think that is reasonable. When I'm taking our dogs out, I take them to our grass. But if we're out on a walk, sometimes it happens, the dog must go. There's nothing you can do at that point but find a place for it to go and pick up after it. People have used our lawn for their dogs and usually they pick it up, but sometimes they don't. It annoys me for like 30 seconds, but I'm not going to get all peeved about it..... It's dog poop, not a missile crisis.

[thetreble 19]

Oh yeah..when I walk them they go where they want..I can't stop that! But I always pick it up and some times have to walk with it for 40 minutes! haha

Maybe it bothers us less because we have dogs? I don't know.

I live in a community that (at least used to be) primarily farming based... everything smells like poop already, what's a little more poop to go around?

#######!!! I love Shamu!!! And now you've gone and ruined my childhood memories, you @%%^

I am losing the battle of being sick. Dammit!

Maybe it's because you're my friend but that made me really angry.

I was like: "Who the ** would throw dog poop at Amanda's house!? Stupid tards!"
