The Vent

[Doug n Amanda 0]

Ok, so my turn to vent (although I'm reluctant as my issue seems petty compared to others, but here goes!)

I was MOH at my BFF's wedding last October; not keeping score, but spent aLOT of time & money (dress, gift, threw her a shower) and was at her beck & call.

Well, we're going away for our weddingmoon; she and hubby can't go (no vacation time), ok, no biggie, totally understand. We helped them move TWICE into their new house; when we ask them to help Doug move for his POE; they can't...painting their basement, ok, no biggie.

My dress came in today; we agreed she would go with me when it came for fitting....um no, can't, has to help hubby with a spreadsheet he needs for work..and has the nerve to say "set the appointment for Saturday & I SHOULD be able to go then"?!@#! NOW it's a biggie! Now I'm pissy.....spreadsheet....my wedding.....hmmmm? Set the appointment around her schedule? No.....so I'm going tonite alone and it's fine with me. The whole reason we are going away was to avoid drama...even my own family doesn't know we're going.....

Doug & I BOTH agreed next time they ask us to help them, it's a No. Sheez.....whatever happened to friendship?

Hate to say it but that's not the best BFF. We have a great friend who is always around to help, and we help back. We are very close with him and he's a great guy. However EVERY other person or time in my life has burned me because I am too nice and generous.

Friendships no longer exist. People use us when it is convenient for them and ditch us when it is convenient for them.

I have one word.... #######. Dump her azz like liz did with hers.... that's just being a mean one.

I totally agree. A BBF is supposed to be there no matter what. Other things can wait. Don't ever start letting people walk all over you(so to speak) cause they'll continue to do it. I learned the hard way with that one.

My dad is so stupid sometimes!

our kitchen sink is clogged and so last night I went and got which specifically says do NOT put more than a tablespoon per application and do a max of two applications in total.

So I did that last night (two applications) cuz it wouldn't budge

well, I go down this morning to see if I can play with it some more and find that my Drano can is EMPTY!!!

My dad put the WHOLE CAN DOWN THE SINK so now, not only is there whatever was clogging it in the first place, there's WHOLE CAN of drano adding to the clog

Ok I have this problem too Liz. My sink has been clogged for months in the bathroom. I have even taken an old toothbrush of my son's(cause its tiny) and triedshoving it down there to get whatever it is out. Well it dont work, so don't ever anyone try this. I didnt get it stuck there. I haven tried all kinda of drain cleaners and nothing works. Anyone know of anything else? I bought 1 of those toilet snake thingys, but its a bathroom sink thats clogged and the snake doesnt fit down there.

Mary

Try filling the sink and then using the plunger on the drain hole. Sometimes the back pressure is enough to loosen whatever is there

Fair weather friends are all around....even family can disappoint and annoy at times. Just remember that in crazy land there are no rules......

Speaking of BFF's.... I miss mine. Just talked to Sarah (Edmonton) and Brenda (Regina) and Carla (Mexico City) on the phone about my bro's baby and I kid you not, I miss those incoherent irreverent b!tches....

I hate packing!!

Is it bad that I haven't really started yet aside from a heap of clothes I have "sorted" on the floor?

I think I started two or three months in advance... sold all the stuff I didn't want to lug across the continent and anything that Bee already had here, got rid of my old clothes, etc. Everything else I left until the very last minute when I realised that I needed to take the time to pack and wrap all my fragiles and ensure it was safe for transporting!

Funny that my computer was the only thing that the UPS guy packed and that was the only thing that got wrecked in the move.

My friend posted a picture on his Flickr site today, showing the falling leaves in Vancouver... damn I am so wretchedly homesick right now.

At least Vancouver stays green all year round...and the flowers! Wow, mind-blowing.

Here in Wintery Montreal, everything is turning a brownish grey.

I "moved" back a few months ago from 13 years in BC...homesick is not the word.

Part of my heart stayed there.

Oh the ocean...the mountains...mmmm...

Hang in there...and then go for a long visit.

I have tones of photos from there as recent as August.

Would you like some more?

Yes, dear one, Dell sucks.

Do yourself a huge favour and join us newly reformed PC users:

BUY A SEXY MAC.

End of problems.

I promise.

I built my PC, but I'd give my left arm for a MacBook Pro. My in-laws have three between both of them and their little daughter.

[bradcanuck 1]

Sara has a Macbook, it's great. My friend has a Macbook pro, loves it.

I dunno I am so used to PCs I am afraid to go Mac. Don't think I ever will.

My Husband built this one, I like our PCs. I don't think I want a Mac. I think they are nice though, from what little I know of them.

I was never a big Dell fan, but got a Desktop for xmas last yr and so far soo good. My inlaws all swear by Dell.
