That time of year where they are coming inside. Or have been inside for a couple of weeks.

Good hunting.

What is pissing you off this time?
 

Seeing people in the 'Thankful' thread, people who have so much, whether it was given to them, they worked for it, stole it, or fell ass-backwards into it, complaining so much about their lives, and not even noticing (seems like) how well they actually have it.

Wal-mart

the bird that shit on my head today.

Posting (a couple months ago) some pics of my oldest son achieving a significant goal only to see them completely ignored. Not pissed so much as, I don't know - wondering why no one was interested, when there's always plenty of interest in other offspring.

Huh. I honestly don't remember those. I wonder if I saw them and just didn't comment, or if I never saw them for some reason. Where are they?

You got a fairly large response about your daughter coming to her senses.

Missed those pics (and most everything else lately

I thought I replied to that.

the next grievance...

bacefook: I could have gone on without knowing my younger cousin is a Birther.

Me too, and I'm not even related.

Yes, people did respond to the update on my daughter coming to her senses.

I apologize for grumbling about the pics of my eldest son. They were the record of his second century ride within two months - but I know that no one here deliberately ignores the accomplishments of others (or their relatives). I was in a particularly low frame of mind a few nights ago as I approached a scheduled clinical follow-up with some anxiety over symptoms. I couldn't sleep and took out some of my angst on threads like this ... and I apologize. It wasn't appropriate. My son did what he did, he was pleased, I had a great time that day following all the riders, and the event was sufficient in itself.

Asking forgiveness, and I'm happy to admit that tonight, nothing is pissing me off.

Nothing to apologize for. We've all posted stuff before that was ignored, and it's not a good feeling. We want people to value our contributions.

So do you have lab results back from the other day? How are you doing? If you're in a better mood, hopefully that means everything is good.

We can help with that. :lol2:

My basic lab tests were all good - bone marrow, liver, and kidneys all functioning normally, hooray! And no suspicious elevation of calcium, double hooray! I'm waiting to hear about my C15-3 cancer marker, and if they saw anything on 3D ultrasound that merits a closer look they'll call me this week. But I'm feeling good and expect it to be no news is good news.

I've reached the point where I rarely worry. The day before an appointment or test, though, in spite of knowing I'm doing fine, it's still tough.

unfortunately, people don't post replies to pics of older children. I don't think anybody ever commented on my oldest son (age 30) unless he was shown with Addie. in fact, the last pics of Addie and Elizabeth went unnoticed for a week. sigh the older your kids get, the less noticeable they are

I'm glad you're doing well, Ortho.

And Sarge, I think you're probably right.
