I have a lot of whines today--
-It's freezing today. I hate it.
-My hormones are all screwed up and driving me nuts. I feel like crap.
-My computer is driving me nuts too. I couldn't come on again last night.
We've been having trouble with our virus protection and spyware. My husband got rid of the spyware. He thinks it was conflicting with our virus protection where that has a spyware too. I hope he's right. This is getting real frustrating.

No whines yet today, the house is clean and it's done so I can relax now. Dogs are sleeping peacefully on the rug and I have nothing to do and nowhere to go, so am free to do whatever or do nothing. I think I'll take care of the 'nothing' first...

If ever there was a case for sterilization...
This woman is obviously not playing with a full deck...but, what about the doctor(s) who treated her!?! I personally think it's criminal...and, if any of them profit financially from this, someone should sue! Care to join me in a class action suit on behalf of the tax-paying mothers and grandmothers of the USA?
LOS ANGELES - The woman who gave birth to octuplets this week conceived all 14 of her children through in vitro fertilization, is not married and has been obsessed with having children since she was a teenager, her mother said. Angela Suleman told The Associated Press she was not supportive when her daughter, Nadya Suleman, decided to have more embryos implanted last year. "It can't go on any longer," she said in a phone interview Friday. "She's got six children and no husband. I was brought up the traditional way. I firmly believe in marriage. But she didn't want to get married."
Nadya Suleman, 33, gave birth Monday in nearby Bellflower. She was expected to remain in the hospital for at least a few more days, and her newborns for at least a month.
A spokeswoman at Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center said the babies were doing well and seven were breathing unassisted. While her daughter recovers, Angela Suleman is taking care of the other six children, ages 2 through 7, at the family home in Whittier, about 15 miles east of downtown Los Angeles. She said she warned her daughter that when she gets home from the hospital, "I'm going to be gone."
Angela Suleman said her daughter always had trouble conceiving and underwent in vitro fertilization treatments because her fallopian tubes are "plugged up." There were frozen embryos left over after her previous pregnancies and her daughter didn't want them destroyed, so she decided to have more children. Her mother and doctors have said the woman was told she had the option to abort some of the embryos and, later, the fetuses. She refused. Her mother said she does not believe her daughter will have any more children. "She doesn't have any more (frozen embryos), so it's over now," she said. "It has to be." Her daughter wanted to have children since she was a teenager, "but luckily she couldn't," her mother said. "Instead of becoming a kindergarten teacher or something, she started having them, but not the normal way," the mother said.

I totally agree that the media often puts a spin on stories in order to sensationalize...but, there has been no indication that this young woman is "financially independent"...actually, it's been reported that her grandmother had to file bankruptcy a while ago and they're living on welfare.
In any event, unless some big tv network takes on this mother and her FOURTEEN KIDS (as has been the case of several of the other multiples born in the USA), it won't be the people of Australia who'll be supporting them...it will be the taxpayers of this country.
I consider myself far from stupid, and not gullible enough to believe everything I read or see on tv news...but, if just a fraction of this story proves to be true, I feel very sorry for the offspring of this "broodmare" and I think the fertility clinic involved with this travesty should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law!
Surely you'll agree that there's something a bit strange about a single mother of six, unable to live on her own, thinking it's a good thing to have several more children. That would take an awful lot of explaining to convince me there isn't something fishy going on here. Don't we have enough problems over here!?!
All I can say is

We have a howling cat patrolling the yard several times a night...and I mean howling. It's a very mournful cry, not like the usual noises the kitties make when they are making a ruckus....ugh. I feel bad for the poor thing and angry at whoever owns it or perhaps has abandoned it. It runs from us whenever we try to approach or call: "here kitty-kitty." I found a broken cat collar near my fence- where it crawls into my yard. I would hate to call animal control but we have to do that in order to get some sleep around here!

Good morning. Now for my daily whine.
I am tired of being on hold. I was on hold for 18 minutes today with the newspaper. There was a notice a few weeks ago that if you didn't call, which I did, come Feb. 1 there would be no TV guide with the Sunday paper.
When I called I told them that the ONLY reason I get the Toronto Sun is for the TV guide because their reporters are lame and if I don't get the guide I will be cancelling it.
Well first day they don't give me it so I called to cancel and was on hold. I hope they go bankrupt.

Pattee, your AA group sounds pretty amazing and I like how this all worked out.
My Sunday whine is that "I want my energy back!!" I KNOW this takes a long time to shake, and I know that if I do not rest it will take even longer...but I want to feel better NOW. I have places to go, furniture to buy, work to get done this week...and I need my energy to do it!
Happy February, Whiners...we're a little closer to spring each day.

I won $ .75 at Bingo yesterday! 
Then, I had to make up my mind whether to spend .50in the vending machine for chips, or go for the whole .75 for candy...decisions, decisions. You guessed it... 
Damn the consequences!

When breakfast was served to us this morning, I asked if the "quarantine" was lifted.
"Maybe tomorrow."
The natives are getting mighty restless...
I've been singing,
"If I had the wings of an angel, over these prison walls I would fly!"
I'm beginning to wonder...

IOS...you're sounding like my sister Last week, when Mom gave us such a scare, Sis said, "I know it has to happen eventually. But, I'm not ready to let her go." I told her she'd better get ready.
Mom has been talking a lot about our brother, too. He passed away in '73...not quite 31-years-old. I believe that's a sign her time is nearing...and, it's consolation to believe she'll be with all those she loved who went before her. Since she's 97, she'll have a lot of folks waiting for her.

Whine number one: if God insists that I do the washing up (through the medium of my wife) then why did he/she/it a) make the sink so low as to break my back and b) ensure that any water splashes hit unfailingly round my crotch? Why?
