If I ever get old I hope I turn out like this, it sounds like she's having some awesome revenge on the world.

LMFAO--you just want the drugs


my aunt called this morning...grandmother slept like a rock(shocking what properly working meds can do for a soul)

on a sadder note..she comes back here tomorrow..God help me.

I'm thinking of running away from home 

[JimmyBlonde]

She sounds like the Granny out of those Stephanie Plum stories...

[IDOLGIRL]

what's bizarre is that, in her normal state of mind, she's the sweetest, most caring woman-cries before reading the hallmark card, because you cared enough to buy a card at all--- big time religious, all about loving Jesus and such.    (lmao..didn't know we had a granny smilie!!)

Now, in her CURRENT state of mind, she is like a freakin' boogeymonster. She usually is a very *praying* woman..she was going nuts, so my one aunt asked her if she wanted to pray..grandmother about bit her head clean off with "NO!! I do NOT want to pray!" and threw a glass of water in her face...just a completely different personality altogether. It's not like she's my normal grandmother, just a little confused these days. She's like a woman possessed. If I were catholic, I swear, I'd be considering an exorcism.

Her latest thing is, she thinks there are two of my mom (two Mary's) and two of my aunts (two Joan's). And of course, she blames ME for confusing her, because I call BOTH Mary's "Mom"...

I'm the RN so I get stuck with the brunt of her care. Which is fine, to a point (24/7 gets exhausting for even me). But to have her in my face, saying I make her life miserable, she doesn't love me, and she's sick of me..well, it sucks because if it WEREN'T for me, her ass would be in a nursing home, because nobody else can handle her. Oh, and she tells my mother, when I walk by, that she (my grandmother) is NOT going to let me steal Bobby (my FATHER) away from my mom...she thinks I'm sleeping with him...ewww!!! But yet she recognizes me and knows who I am ..but still thinks I"m trying to steal my dad from my mom...the fun just never ends...

Did I mention wanting to run away from home? 

[deBauch]

Sleeping with your dad ?!  You really are from North Carolina 

Surely you have Sky Sports if you are watching MLB on ESPN?

I pay mlb through their website where I watch the games, I wouldnt give Rupert Murdoch the clegnuts from my under crackers.

[Fipronila]

I'm so fucking annoyed -  I need to rant before I offend everyone I know on Facebook


No one (except arguments I've read here) has anything intelligent to say about healthcare reform other than "Jesus save us" and "oh no we are all going to shit"

Seriousy alarmists - WHY? Because we may need to be helping others in society? Maybe it would be fucking beneficial to most of you but you'd never know because you are too fucking blinded by bullshit jesus crap and afraid the government is going to take over our lives - FUCK PEOPLE We live in a civilized society FOR A REASON- because we take care of each other and need laws to keep the fucking idiots of the country from doing whatever the fuck they want.

FUCK go the fuck to Russia and China and see how you like it there. Get the fuck out then! FUCK ASS SHIT I'M SO ANNOYED NO ONE WILL GIVE ME A FUCKING INTELLIGENT ANSWER

AND THEN I saw a fucking commercial today from the repugs saying "federal dollars will fund abortions" when it says right in the fucking proposal that those on the plans that cover abortions would have to pay more every month whether they have one or not! Because THEY CHOOSE TO. GAH GAH Ignorance is not bliss ignorance is fucking retarded.

I have this morning received ANOTHER box of low energy light bulbs through the post. I have now a box of 6 from Npower ( electricity) British gas , Npower( again) and this morning a lovely surprise from Eon

On the basis that they last ten times longer than regular bulbs, and on my rough usage of about 2 replacement bulbs per year ( of the old  kind)  I shall not need to buy more lightbulbs until 2310 at the earliest

I know a gift should never be refused as it is done by the kindest of motives ( one assumes) , but I am beginning to think that millions are being squandered on cheap publicity without any actual effort on sustainable energy

Or am I just being naïve?

LOL....Last year I bought a 4 pack of "Lifetime" bulbs from the Lighthouse (a non-profit blind advocacy organization), guess what....2 just blew out.  I know those guys are blind, but I was hoping the people making the bulbs had sight. 

Sometimes when you think it is a worthwhile endeavor....it isn't!

Another hatful of threads with nothing but a fucking youtube video.

Can't we just have a categorised sub-forum for this shit?

So you've become one of those wankers that refers to themselves in the third person.  Curl your pinky when you hold your wedgewood, poncey little dog like a shitzu on your lap making plans for a nights dogging with the Melbourne yachting set...mincer

 I’ve been trying to do a few things this week...actually read my emails and also to watch telly.
I’m slightly worried about the amount of emails promising me a 72 hour erection and free supplies of Viagra, but apparently it is normal for middle aged ladies to get a little nervous at the promise of a twelve inch dick.
It didn’t make me feel any better when the next mail referred to personal injury specialists. It leaves me with somewhat of a dilemma: do I delete the emails or keep them both just in case I injure myself with my newly found priapic appendage in a drunken moment when I decide to conduct an experiment to see if they work?


I shouldn’t be trusted with an email account unless the net nanny is on full alert, but the very few friends I have make tourettes sufferers look child friendly and so I would end up with yet another offer of 50% off shoes at Amazon and nothing more.


I did buy a pair of shoes at Amazon...red converse, like Doctor Who’s. In theory, 38 year old women with two kids and a responsible lifestyle think about uggs...not long black overcoats, black jeans and black shirts with bright bloody red pairs of baseball boots! The truth is that I just feel so damn cool in those boots!


Finally I had my OK for not growing up and embarrassing my kids no end...I don’t have bunions! I didn’t even know what they were, but Google news informs me that wearing high heels causes bunions....that’s girly footwear that is...BUT basketball players from the 1950’s known for wearing boots like mine...no bunions – cancer, dementure, heart attacks etc...But NO BUNIONS! I have one less thing to worry about!

I get to die an agonising death but sensibly shod.

So, on my mission to look at what is popular TV, I hit the iplayer. Actually I went to the telly for a couple of weeks as my mum knows how to work the thing past cbbc. I never knew that you could get anything other than Tracey Beaker on the big screeny thing in the lounge! You get Tracey Beaker... and Michael Portillo...on a train.

Mr P is quite awkwardly charming, but you can’t watch him after a meal. I fell asleep at 6.34 every bloody night and missed out on cheese makers, Eccles cakes manufacturers and people who not only took a politician deep underground, but brought him back again. I’m voting for a new series with Harriet Harman down a disused mine, and a more dramatic outcome.

I can’t do Eastenders. It is just me yelling ‘Who’s that?’ every five minutes and other people telling me to shut up. At one point I called out this mantra and the program itself suddenly came out with the words ‘Shut It’. I now think that my telly is haunted and refuse to stay around for anything except Tracey Beaker.

I watched the Richard Dimbleby lecture by Terry Pratchett. It was deeply moving and sad to hear that Sir Terry felt he needed a ‘stunt Pratchett’ to read it as he no longer trusted himself due to his altzeimers.  It was slightly more worrying to think that I exhibited the majority of the symptoms and instead of getting a respected performer like Tony Robinson, the only person willing to stand in as a ‘stunt uncon’ was a slightly disorientated (thats polite for staggeringly drunk) lady with no teeth, a tendency towards incontinence and a very ‘friendly’ attitude towards her fellow drinkers.

All in all, I can’t say this experiment has been entirely successful.

It's a bit long....sorry

[The Scoundrel]

On a much shorter note I've fuckin seen everything now! The new Barbie Potty Training Puppy. You stoke its back and it either shits or pisses on the specially supplied (and no doubt expensive) newspaper. What, in fucks name, is that all about? Someone tell me quick cos it's giving me the heaves just thinking about it and thanking Allah that i was blessed only with sons.

I hate snow, but what I hate even more are morons who do not know how to drive in the snow. 

I have a 4x4 and drive cautiously in the worst weather conditions, but there are those out there that think...Golly, I have a 4 wheel drive and I can do 70 in this fucking storm...WRONG.  What will happen is that I'll probably see you wrapped around the next tree!

Take it easy cowboy, we will all get there in one piece and in time!

And what is up with these assholes that live in the NorthEast and drive those little sports cars?  They think because they have all-wheel drive they can tackle this weather, but it seems they can't get up that little hill?  Get a clue, if you want to drive a sports car, live in a more temperate climate!

[IDOLGIRL]

we aren't plagued with snow down here in Florida, but I swear, every old goat and foreign driver in this God-forsaken state should be required to take a 60 hour course on how to drive in the rain. One drop hits the windshield, and they freakin' panic...slam on brakes, start driving 10 mph, and turn the wipers on the highest possible setting.
then you have the *other* set of drivers....it's just rained, and the roads are slick, so they decide to drive like they're in the NASCAR finals, racing to the next stoplight, only to find that: 
rain(+)oil/engine grease/etc in the road(+)high speed(+)slamming on brakes(-)common sense(=)

The WORST drivers in South Florida have to be the vacationing Canadians. OMG, dont get me started!

Tell me about it!!! whenever I see a Quebec license plate, I cringe. They are truly the worst drivers out there (and living where we do...you know we have lots of shit drivers to choose from!!)

That's funny because i was going to edit my post to say "especially those from Quebec" but didnt. They ALWAYS drive like theyre lost while riding in a lawnmower tractor and have no idea where theyre headed. Or maybe they're just use to driving like that in snow, I dont know.

Still, it's real history I guess...

The useless crap my daughter is learning in school.



The wifey and I help our daughter with her homework every night (she's in 6th grade). I help with the math, and the wifey helps with Social Studies, and Spelling. I'm simply amazed at the useless crap my kid is having to do in math. Yes, I understand the need to be able to add/subtract/multiply/multiply/divide fractions if one is planning on being a carpenter. But here's a typical problem that we work through every fucking night:

1/8 + 2/3 [ (1 5/6 -3/4) + (2 1/4 x 5/12)]

What in the flying fuck is this crap, and how in the hell is it going to help her prepare for the real world? Honestly, when will she ever use this shit?

The wifey has started working a few night shifts, so therefore, the Social Studies homework has fallen upon my shoulders too. Last night we were learning about Egyptian history. Now, I understand that the reign of the Pharaohs did play an important part in the worlds history, but does she really need to know about individual rulers, and what fucking dates they were in reign? In the 6th fucking grade? Cant they just touch on the general history, and why it was important?

Fuck, it's no wonder the Americans are behind in our education system. We spend too much time learning inconsequential bullshit facts, and math processes that will never help our children later on in life.

Rant complete, thank you for your time.
