    I just read a fellow bco s novelette (?) I can't remember her bco name but if you go on amazon.com- Amy Wolf's books name is "don't let me die in a motel 6 or one woman's struggle through the Great Recession " for all she went through- holy crap she retained a great sense of humor...and holy sh*t -she went through hell! And ;) is here to bitch about it.

    Sully, Glad you found us.  This is the place to be. Don't feel guilty for having a good cry. Sometimes that is just what we need.  You are overwhelmed right now and it can be hard to sort things out.  I know I went through a period where I was so tired of hearing "You look good".  What?  Did I look like shit before?  I wanted to say STFU would ya?

    I'm pretty sure that "Strega" is Italian for bitch, or witch, or something like that.  Wink 

    Sully, "she" was named Kantalope, because she was having such an awful time with her newly surgeried breast...(I don't think there IS such a word...oh well...) And I was trying to tease her, and told her it must look like a Kantalope...(I know that's wrong too, but on purpose)  So I felt so bad for her, and always called her  that.  THEN she was actin like she thought she was some sort of Princess, so I added that.  Whatever you call her, probably fits.... Ha, ha! 

    She is pretending to be nice to you...Wink  but she is just "waiting"....  I have so much fun teasing the little shit!  She is like my "other" daughter... she mis-behaves, and we all try & get her out of it.... I TELL her I am going to make her stay in her room... wash her mouth out with soap... doesn't do any good. 

    And Sandcastle is right.... people ARE rude!  And we can politely tell them, to STFU..."please."  That sort of takes the sting out of it...

    Morning Scottiee and Blondi, Jo & Merlcat!  What IS that "Merlcat"  .... cute name!  I looked up that Author, and saw her on Amazon, but tried to get it on my Nook, and B&N doesn't have her!   Do you know her personally?

    I would like to have a better day than last night was.  Will only say I wish he had that whole pan of hot dried peppers that he tried to cook, and eventually threw out.... up his .... oh never mind.    It was the beer girls.... the beer that was doing the talking, right?  This morning will be much better. 

    What I COULD do is go out-doors, go over in the ditch, find those hot peppers, bring them in, put them in a plate, set them on the table, and put 4 cans of Coors beer around them, and say "Here's your breakfast honey!"

    Nuff' said....Wink  We're all just damn lucky I have the patience of a ...of a ...whatever, AND a sense of humor.

    Chevyboy....too funny, but you're winding her up again. I more or less told Sully our Granny is a pussycat....oh I just know, after those comments, I'm going to have to eat my

    words, or maybe you could send ME the hot peppers....that will shut me up....lol



    Good morning to everybody else.....It's so cold and windy here in Toronto....I'm on the 22nd floor facing north.....the wind had me up at 5 am this morning .... perhaps a nap this afternoon!!!!

    Chevy- I met her on here....she was advertising a free humorous read, I emailed her, she sent a link- if you pm with your email and promise to write a review I'd assume that she'd send you a free copy too...

    Merlcat- my initials plus 'cat' apparently, I'm the pied piper of cats....2 (one of which is my profile picture) found me in the fall of 2011 and have been wonderful companions during all of this catstir bulls*it although I don't think I've suffered anywhere near as much as some of the other ladies on these boards...they are very lovey and therapeutic to me :) lol

    Guess I'm destined to be the crazy cat lady when my kids( 11,13 and 15) leave home.....lol

    Just letting you know that I controlled my Inner Strega last night...

    DH had some email issues, and since I am the computer guru in the house (scary!!!) I spent TWO HOURS on the phone with two nice young men in the Philippines (AT&T Service Techician and Supervisor) who tried to solve our problem.

    I was totally polite, as were they.

    Not so a few months ago, when I turned my verbal blowtorch on several pathetically idiotic and incredibly rude AT&T technical service reps. I amazed even myself. One of them disconnected me intentionally, and boy, did the next guy hear about it!

    I didn't exactly say "STFU", but I did say in very similar terms that they needed to just shut up and LISTEN to me, and then perhaps they might actually understand the problem. 

    I guess they don't like to hear that. 

    But last night the guys were very nice, and even though we are left with the same issues today, they did try. And even though I had a massive headache when I got off the phone, I didn't take it out on DH, for which he was eternally grateful.

    So I guess I do have some filters left after all. Wink

    And Chevy u used to be a quiet one, lately u'r really coming into u'r own--I guess granny pumps u up. Good goin'.

    Granny, or whatever.... You say his "pipe broke"  ??? You mean his bong?  So what are you guys going to do now?  I mean I feel bad.

    I remember one time, when my youngest  was about 16.... I had TOLD her numerous times, I had to wash that little white cotton purse she carried, because  it was gross!  So one morning I ran upstairs, grabbed her purse, dumped everything out on the floor, and out fell some.... okay, wait... rolling papers, a bong, and a baggie of "seeds"... So me, being as "hip" as I was, just KNEW this was NOT for a class project. 

    When she woke up, I had that bounty laying out on the table.  I did not yell or scream, or act otherwise stupid.  I calmly said "come watch while I flush your seeds down the toilet."  (It took 5...mind you...5 flushingsto get that stuff DOWN!!)   She was almost in tears, she later told me! Wink I didn't break her pipe...she said is was Lorraine's.... yeah, right.  I showed her Dad her "stuff."   Rolling papers were burned, and not around the seeds! 

    So you mean THAT pipe little kantalope?  Wink  Is it possible it is the same pipe?  Ah geez....too fun! 

    THEN there was the time I went upstairs to their room... (their little den of inequity)  and I saw this huge plastic pot... with a PLANT in it!  AND a grow light over it!!!!  Now I figure it is NOT a daisy she is growing... So DH makes the trek upstairs, drags that huge pot down, with the 3 inch plant in it, and takes it outside, and throws it all in the ditch!!   I mean, if you're going to grow pot, your Mom's house is NOT the place to do it.  Wink

    How fun to remember that stuff... Ha,ha!  And that little Daughter is now 51, and I love her to pieces.  She is our angel....  I think I rescued her from a life of sex, drugs and rock and roll!  At least the drugs part...Wink  to a certain extent....  at least partially.

    My DH is so much better with our Grand-son here, Ha!  But today he leaves to go back home to Orlando... I think DH gets just plain bored.... I know, I know.... hard to believe with me around.  Wink

    Okay gals....  better go... the dawn is breaking....Oh I just looked!  Still dark out!  More coffee please.

    I'm having a pity party here because of this lingering virus I have.....my get up and go got up and went....that's what I get for returning to work too soon and not getting the bloody flu shot!!!! I'm a teacher, I should know better, right, WRONG....lol



    Love your stories and again, this morning, you did not disappoint. You are my entertainment in the morning, my morning smile, with coffee, of course. Thank you.



    I know this whole thread is about telling people to STFU , but I hope YOU never do that.

    Who will give me my morning smile 😃



    I hope everyone has a good day and, yes, Granny, who ever you are, prayers and positive thoughts still coming your way.

    Scotiee, Grannie, or who-ever is still in bed...  Alone?  who knows..... Thanks honey...  you make me feel good...  Smile    I think her Son, who broke his pipe, is having surgery Thursday.....

    Guess it's just you and me babe... Ha, ha!  Are you feeling any better?  I've heard SOMEwhere that it lasts about 18 days.... are you getting close?  You know, you can always tell those Docs, that you are NOT any better, and make them give you something else, or more!  Tell them I said so.

    I don't know what's going on in your neck ofnthe woods, but here in Toronto, so many people are suffering from the flu, colds and whatever other crap is going around. It's a matter of waiting it out....doesn't help that I work in a school where there are viruses and bacteria lurking around every corner!!! So I'm hiding from them, at home...lol



    I was trying to remember what the surgery date was, thanks....the little bugger must be

    going crazy at the moment....I fear for anybody who gets up her nose at the moment ....lol

    I know!  You know, my DH, AND Gs both have some sort of intestinal bug... or something!  Yes, so much bacteria being blown around I think!  

    Maybe I'm wrong, about the surgery, was it the 25th?  I think it was Friday?  We had better get this right... don't want to be thinking of her on the wrong day, ha!

    Lol I was starting to think that my STFU about football killed the thread ...Eck...that'd suck but I still stand by my statements...I hate hearing about it again and again and again ad nauseum. I have NO freaking interest about the minutiae of the game and if we're that interested I'd watch it my damned self- Facebook is supposed to be frivolous and stupid not crazy people ranting about football giving play by plays! For heavens sake, if you want to do that, go the hell back to school and become a commentator! Otherwise STFU!!

     Oh no Scottiee and Merlcat, don't leave!  I meant if "she" IS a foot-ball fan, or not, she will holler about something.  I don't care much for foot-ball... or even baseball....but I LOVE Nascar, Ha, ha!     So you can Not like anything you want!  I don't like FB!  Only because I had my debit-card "read" while it was in my hand-bag, THEN my identity stolen, and went through hell, trying to fix things!  So FB is just too scary for me....

    And I don't like turnips either...Wink

    Lol turnips ..how about pah-snips?! If you've seen Ted, you'll understand the reference...granny dukes has nothing on the cussing in that movie! Lmfao! That movie cracked me up! Completely inappropriate!



    Holy $hit! How I the heck did your identity stolen through FB!? That's insane! I'm really paranoid about FB. I rarely , if ever, post things...mainly just read other people's stuff, not have my birthday or the town where I live etc etc...



    Loathe football but I do enjoy baseball not that I talk about it, other than my 11 year old and his team, and on rare occasion, we will go to Camden yards for a game but I'd pretty much rather have a hot poker shoved up my arse than watch it on tv( again, unless it was my son who plays). I'm pretty much that way with all sports.....
