I have a sty. Grrrrr, fskingdagnabit I HATE getting a sty. And this is the first one in years, why did it have to come now, just when I was ready to try out a bunch of new summer makeup. And it hurrrrrts. *whine, whine* :angry:

Edit: Too angry to spell correctly, ha ha.

Lost a friend to suicide last week, my grandmother on Saturday, and then log in to FB yesterday to see that my "friend" has posted pics of herself alone on vacation in Mexico when we had made plans to go together. I texted her: "Looks like you had a great time in Mexico. I was a little hurt because we had talked about going together. I understand that you probably needed some time to yourself, but I wish you had told me instead of me finding out on FB."

Response:

"I am not taking responsibility for the fact that you feel hurt. My ex-husband manipulated and forced upon me all of the blame for his misery and unhappiness. Don't you try to do the same. I'm sorry that you're hurt, but you need to own that. I am not responsible for your emotions."

Um, WTF?

Firstly, I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your friend and grandmother.

As for your venomous, vacationing friend I would suggest she see a doctor because the Mexican sun surely must have fried her brain.

I totally understand about your bf, I had the sesame sort of thing happen not too long ago. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> but, its OK. Just vent it all out, I don't judge, unless they deserve it.

@@LuckyMoon, girl, I def agree with you on that one!!!

Ouch!! That would be one "friend" who wouldn't be a friend anymore. Remember to surround yourself with people who LIFT you UP not DRAG you DOWN! {hugs!!}

Thanks, guys. Yeah, I've decided that I'm done with her. As a wise man once said, I got 99 problems but a ***** ain't one.

@ so sorry for your losses...but also glad that you are walking away from that "friend" that is something you def don't need

So everything comes in 3s...first I got involved in a weird hit & run (I was a pedestrian) but I was very lucky and am not badly injured - just have a sore back and am pretty sure that I will get better...  Then my stupid washing machine decides to break & leak everywhere...annoying but manageable....but then the last thing happens and I feel like I can't breathe and my hearts breaking.  My youngest has a syndrome that disrupts blood flow to his leg - we discovered it last year after a complete nightmare that made impossible for him to stand not to mention do all the things young boys love to do (my son is very athletic and loves nothing more than to be in motion) - we did everything we could do to help him.  He's been through 2 hip surgeries and was doing extremely well.  But we've talked to 2 people that are now adults that we know of that had this condition and they have warned us that it is possible to relapse.  Its happening now...and my heart is breaking to see him in intense pain again.  We are off to the specialist again today and hope that they will have answers for us and a way to help him manage the pain.  

There is nothing more heartbreaking than seeing a child you love in pain and not being able to help.  He is on major pain medication and its barely making a dent in his pain and he can't sleep as it hurts so much that it wakes him.  He's old for this syndrome so I know that prognosis isn't good but they say that when he reaches his full size re-occurence will be less likely - but thats 7 years away....I can't take 7 years of watching him in pain.  This site has been a great place to try & distract me - its nice to focus on pretty things but right now...all I want is for him to be well.

@@dancersmum Big Hugs to you and your little one :hugs3: Wishing he feels better soon!

I'm so sorry to hear about this. It brings tears to my eyes knowing he's in so much pain. You are such a strong woman! He's lucky to have you. I hope he feels better and can get some rest.

 

[Esthylove]

I feel bad to complain about this after the stuff I have read today on here. My stuff is so minor compared to what other people have been going through. :unsure2:

 

[jednashley]

dancersmum  So sorry about your son, that is terrible.  I have a really hard time when my children are in pain.  As a mom, we want to take away all their pain and troubles and we can't.  I am so sorry and hope that things work out for him ((hugs))

Esthylove  I agree, it is hard to complain sometimes when you hear about others troubles.  Puts things in perceptive a little bit.

 

[Saffyra]

Well, snap.  @ I'm so sorry for your losses ((hugs)) and that friend is not a friend.  She also has some MAJOR baggage to work through.  Do NOT let her make you feel bad for her crappy attitude toward life.  She sounds like she's trying to bring everyone around down to her own level of misery.  Don't let her drag you with her!

@@dancersmum  I know this is so hard for you but I am so glad that your son has a mother like you who loves him and can take care of him through this difficult time.  You are a blessing to him just as much as he is a blessing to you.  One day this will all be behind you and you both will be stronger for it.  My prayers go out to you and your family.

I just came in here to complain about MUT linking my words to Google Ads!  Pretty small in the whole scheme of things!

Um, WTF?

that is pretty fucking shitty.   Look - I get the crappy ex husband thing and I could have been married to her ex-husband.  I didn't use his behavior to excuse MY bad behavior.

and she did that with you.

wow, compared to everything I just read on here I feel stupid for even saying this but... my microwave broke. and it really sucks because the light won't shut off anymore, it won't heat anything up, when I shut it, it starts rotating the plate so I have to leave it open AND to top it all off, Whirlpool won't get back to me. way to go being a big reputable company.............. end of rant.

Aww!!  My dryer broke yesterday.  Now I have to buy a new one because the parts to fix the old one cost as much as a brand new one!  How does that even work!?

Oh yeah, I know what you mean. The same thing happened last year with our washer. It seems like, as technology advances, the parts needed to fix an appliance plus the labor cost SO much, you might as well get a brand new appliance. It's a bummer! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

The bottom piece of the handle on mine broke off the other day, because my husband has to slam it shut like a caveman! lol
