I think that is the quick way to go through multiple spouses. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

I also *still* feel this same way. I am better than I use to be, but I still hold back, thinking "eh, well, I don't want to get people worked up."

My internet connection on my laptop has been extremely iffy ever since Mr. Clod "upgraded" our wireless a few days ago. He insists it couldn't possibly be related. Harrumph.

How come Zappos can manage to ship things in a few hours, for free - but other places charge more than what you paid for any one item, and it takes them 4 days to even begin the shipping process????
I want my shit!!!

Always having to play the bad cop because no-one else will

Unable to help with frustration felt by daughter at getting "Spaghettis" on her braces -9 rubber bands that she must put on each night for a week which effectively wire her jaws shut. The plus side is in a week her braces come off for good.

be sure she uses her retainer! I wish I had. Made the last year of braces sort of pointless.

I have two phone lines, one just for the computer and my home phone. A storm took out my home line almost 2 weeks ago. One time they said oh we fixed it. It works when it rains Well it's not fixed. So another appointment.

The phone guy comes to my gate with the electric fence and hangs a note saying its in my house . I know its not in my house I plugged the phone in outside in the box and there is no dial tone.[ that's what they tell you to do to prove to them its not in your house] When there is no dial tone, that means the line to box is fubar.

It was raining that day and he did not want to get wet so he BSed his way out of fixing my phone. That was Tuesday. No other appointments available until Friday am. WTF?

Huh - the 6-day business trip to Philadelphia that was supposed to end this Thursday has been extended because instead of coming back here, he will fly to Saudi Arabia for at least a week. So much for the baseball game this weekend!
