The Vent - Part Trois

What? Let me be sure I understand, whose laundry does the Uncle want done??

Regardless it's way out of line.

It was our laundry in the dryer.

He partially owns the house, so maybe he thinks he can boss us around like this. I don't know

I've always tried to stay away from sleep aids. The ones that i've looked into have a window to take them and you can't really take them to help you sleep a couple of hours. I have seen a doctor about sleep problems years ago, and he suggested prescription sleep pills, but I declined because I have an addictive personality

I think every person in this modern world has sleeping troubles from time to time, it's nearly impossible not to.

I'm in the same boat as you, I _really_ don't want to get hooked on something or make myself worse off by getting dependent on drugs for sleep - or even resistant to them.

I was doing some digging around, and found these guys: Valerian Root

It's a non-addictive herb that is a minor muscle relaxer. It's one of the "natural" ingredients that alot of sleeping pills include.

I was able to find a bottle of 50 at a wallmart for ~2 bucks. They work great for me. They don't make you sleepy, or cause you to over sleep... your muscles just untense a bit.

A few google searches can help you out learning more about it... Just a suggestion cause I know where you're coming from.

*edit*

Side note, the smell is PUNGENT - you can smell it through the geletan encasing. O_o

I wish my MIL would stop sending me spam. I guess she thinks of it as her way of communicating with me. Grrr

Wow. It sure is Monday in here today, isn't it? I am incredibly tired right now.

Can we all hope that Tuesday goes a lot better?

Huggles, did I read that right? You guys got a house?? If so... A HUGE congrats to you.

Yep

We close on the 25th. Its all ours unless something goes terribly wrong, so I'm trying not to get too excited about it. Lots of things can happen!

Wow, sorry about the car troubles here. Glad your car is found, Marilyn!

Here's a vent: Why do some of the yummiest food give you heartburn? I'm eating eggplant curry on basmati rice (after I just had two sushi rolls--geez, never ate so much food at one sitting...) and I just know I'm gonna suffer later.

Generally, I absolutely abhor censorship, especially on forums. But at the bottom of this page, under "Similar Topics", I see "Adam Walsh Was Beat (part 2)". Not only is this poor sentence structure, but it is unintentionally poor taste. I was going to go in that thread and rant "#######, can't you simply add 'THE' and 'Act' and make that a normal sentence that doesn't look creepy?" but I don't want to be accused of trolling the upper forums. :S

I saw you post in OT that it seemed wrong that they changed the name in the first thread and added 'act' to the title - just because a couple of people didn't like it?

And that is what prevents me from going into the thread and saying anything. I don't like censorship, nor do I like the thread. But that, is my opinion, and why I am voicing it and not submitting a ticket to the moderation team

Ahh, well that makes sense.

I don't personally see that as censorship, I don't even know how to open a ticket but hey, maybe krikity or kathryn will fix it.

Sad, really sad what some people are capable of doing.

It's Monday....& had to be up early to take my car in...

I hate potholes! Let's see how much $$$ in damages this will be... Let's hope maybe warranty might kick in?

Just as I was pulling up to the dealership the courtesy van departed... had to wait ONE hour for it to come back... It only had 2 people in it when it left!!

*sigh*

Grrrrrrr!

Ok good & bad news! The problem that "required attention soon" from last oil

change parts are being covered under warranty.

Bad news...have to order parts from Canada....

They just called to say that thr car isn't ready& won't be until

tomorrow!!! The alignment "rack" has been busy all day... They couldn't see a problem visually and couldn't duplicate the screechig sound after I hit thr pothole coming from right wheels...

Huummmm here's a thought.... How about the city start filling the potholes! Maybe shops won't be so damn busy!!! Yes read a newspaper article about how most reimbursement claims are denied even tho they are crater sized!

Oh god that's so sad... my aunt would probably have a heart attack if she saw this.

No wonder I'd donate to animal charities before I'd donate to ones... for humans. My husband calls me mean for it, but I love animals darn it.

I hope those people get more than the 3 years indicated at the end. 3 years isn't enough for that.

I'd hate to double post, but I need to vent more about the visiting relatives.

Things were all good till around... 30 minutes ago or so.

So we ripped up the carpet and we're putting in laminate hardwood flooring. We have 2 boxes left. My husband's uncle, mom, other uncle and aunt are going to go shopping at some nike outlet store in a bit. Apparently coming to America is a big deal so everyone over there in the family wants gifts. Okay whatever, we don't have to come....

But we need the flooring. We buy it at Sam's Club and his mom is the one with the membership. So they're going to pick it up on the way to the nike store and bring it back after...

I have a feeling they wont get home till like 9pm or so.. that leave us to finish the flooring, move EVERYTHING back and try to get it done without us taking till like midnight or so. Ugh, seriously. We're just going to be sitting around doing nothing while we could be getting the floor done while they're gone.

The uncle also decided to do wood flooring on the landing of the stairs... but totally left the carpet on the stairs themselves. The carpet is gross, it needs replacing, but the way he did stuff now it's pretty impossible to replace the carpet. Ugh, it's so ugly.... so so ugly.

And he's so #######. You know those things that you put on carpet for computer chairs to roll easier? He's taking off the poiny things on the bottom of them so they can use them on the laminate flooring. I have never seen such an ####### person in my life... I doubt the chairs would scratch the flooring.

End rant for now again

I wouldn't be surprised if I needed to rant later.
