Found a voicemail tonight from somebody I used to hang around with and watch drink on occasion (and I would drink at home, once I finally got away from her). This is one of the people I told about my quitting earlier this year, and one of the times I got annoyed by the person not remembering what I'd said with any seriousness ("so, you're not drinking at all?").
It took playing the voicemail 4 times to understand it, because of blaring music. She was at a pub we used to go to and said something about work friends leaving so early and encouraging me to come and see her. As if I would go near there. What an idiot.
But it doesn't pay to settle with thoughts of displeasure about it. At least I can look on the bright side, and be glad I am not there with her. I can continue to miss her calls on purpose too.

Ok, Pattee,
I know you *think* I've had a whin-a-paloza already....
But,
Hold onto your seat for today's adventure....
I had a meeting with the *new* counselor
About the funding for schooling
since the last one canceled me
after I specifically *told* her
I did *not* want to be canceled,
when she screwed up, and did not give me
papers for income eligibility.
Long story short, months went by.
Then, I was told I had to speak to another top gun.
I called and called. He never answered.
And never called back.
This has gone on since April??? Maybe longer?
I finally had it and had a screaming meme.
(I may have told you about this?)
So, I had a meeting today.
And the *new* guy was a patronizing ********!
He "wasn't sure" I was "capable" of going to school!
HUH????
I *teach* school, buddy!!!
I *graduated summa c u m laude!!!
And with awards! And initiations into societies....
HELLO!!! Are you out of your freaking MIND!!!
:
I told him my doc was "happy and in full agreement" with my plan.
This MORON want's a note from him *anyway*!!!
AND, a note saying I can WORK!!!
HELLO???
My doc *just* signed me out on total disability!!!
No, I will *NOT* ask my doc,
whom I've gone to for 20 years or more, to LIE!!!
Nor *would* he lie, even if I *did* ask him to!!!
WTF!!!
This jerkhead, who knows *nothing* about me,
made multiple assumptions about me.
And he basically let me know, without saying so, (the freaking coward!), that I will *not* be in school in September.
My private insurance only lasts one year....
I'm screwed...
I *needed* to be in school this year.
And I am so FREAKING PISSED OFF at him,
And the beatch who screwed me by canceling me earlier in April....
I am going to write their superior.
Neither of them are not used to someone like me....
I've learned how to play hard ball by the RULES!
And I don't give a sh!t when someone screws me over and over anymore!
I've beat better than *those* jerks!
And WON!
Some of you may remember the jackarse principal I dealt with, LOL!
13 grievances, and he had to go to school at the administration building,
to learn how to be a principal in the providence school department,
after dealing with me, LOL!
I'm a very nice person.
And I am a forgiving person.
Until you prove you are only out to screw me over.
Then, your arse is MINE!
And don't whine about it to me, either.
Cuz, I don't want to hear it.
When you've done *nothing* but screw me!
Remember the neighbor who was harassing me constantly,
And tried to have my son arrested on false charges?
Well, *she's* the one who's been gone all summer! Finally!
But, I digress....
Now, I got to the meeting upset to begin with, honestly,
because, I couldn't find the street. No street signs.
I was *right* there, but didn't know it without the sign.
So, I called the office.
And the woman in the offince kept on putting me to a line with a machine!!!
And then tried to tell *me* that *I* kept hanging up! HUH???
After the THIRD TIME, I said to her,
Please LISTEN TO ME
DO NOT PUT ME ON ANOTHER LINE!!!
And I was finally able to tell her what was going on.
So, she got in touch with the guy I was trying to meet,
who directed me to where I had to go.
Now, what no one knew, was,
Today was the anniversary of
My mom's my death.
Two years today...
So, yea,
I was upset....
Thanks for following all of this...
If you did...
Shalom!

"But it doesn't pay to settle with thoughts of displeasure about it. At least I can look on the bright side, and be glad I am not there with her. I can continue to miss her calls on purpose too. "
I thought some more about this. I guess another dimension to what is so bothersome in this is the fact that this is someone who thinks she cares for me. So obviously the child in me (not necessarily "childish" in the pejorative) wants this to be real caring and to be aligned with what I need - and what others should know we need. So as crappy as it is that people have to go through things like this (this feeling that people don't really respect you or listen to you; however you want to put it), the silver lining to it is being able to understand what you yourself need; and you can dislocate yourself from the negative emotions better over time; and you can distance yourself from the people/places/things that are going to pose a challenge. I am thankful for the silver linings. I was pretty good at finding them for other people even as a drinker. I feel "looked after" (don't I sound spiritual?) by being able to find them for myself in the aftermath of my drinking career.

Sounds to me like this person isn't really on your wavelength Toronto....if she ever was.
This may not be the case here, but invariably I found that many people who insisted they cared for me or missed me....what they really missed was having a drinking partner.
I wouldn't waste any more time thinking about it.

I just opened a letter I got in the mail today.
Shouldn't have.
It's from the same organization that these people are from that I wrote about above...
Long story short...
They *claim* I owe them money.
There's no date for which this supposed money is due.
And I *always* pay when I check in -- *ALWAYS*
And, they've made this mistake before.
They told me then, in the hallway.
When I put up a stink, they "found" their mistake. *duh*
This time, they sent me a letter....
And told me to "call with any questions."
NOT!!!
I want a RECORD!
I emailed them,
And told them WHY I emailed them.
Tell me something....
We've all heard of adding insult to injury.
But, is it possible to add
Injury to injury?
Because,
I honestly feel ASSAULTED by these people today!
Well, in the end,
I told them to email me a response,
because I wanted it on the record.
And that they needed to
1. Give me a date so I could check my bank record myself -- that they owed me that much at the very least!
2. They needed to double check their own records since they have made this same mistake before, and upset me about it before.
I'm tired...
And I'm tired of crying all day.
I'm going to bed.
Shalom!

Good morning Whiners 
I have about 6 loads of laundry to do and I'd rather just lolligag *whine*
The good news is Bubba fed the critters and kept the house looking good.
I finally caught up on the whines I missed....good job gang, there are some fine whines up there.
I guess I need to change my avatar too.

I think Teach deserves the Whine of the Week award. Maybe the award should be a boot in the @ss to those harassing her!
Woke up this morning to find that ck's bf had spent the night here! HOpe his parents don't give him holy hell for it. I trust them both but his parents are quite strict, considering he's 21 and a college student...
Going to be another hot hot day. Isolated thunderstorms are called for and I hope we get one, we need rain desperately.
No whines from me yet, except for dk calling me for a ride to work and then b!tching cause I got there a bit late... I'm not answering her calls for a few days. Let her call someone else for her demands.
Welcome back Ann! We sure missed you around here.
Hbee, can you call the collection place and inform them that you ARE making payments on the debt!! Good grief!

I have to laugh at the Irony of this one....It's not really a whine but more of a "gotcha".
It's no secret that Mr. Fandy left me for his greater love, The Racetrack and the Ponies. There is a Cable TV horseracing sports station called "TVG", that he loves to watch..sometimes I still watch to see certain tracks (and punish myself)...I noticed today that they now have an interactive show with the public and answer email/Facebook questions on the air...What's the name of the show????
Guess????
Give up????
"FANDICAPPING:rotfxko
HA! HA! he was the one who named our precious kitty....He can run but he can't hide...I hope it irks him.

Oh that's priceless!!!
No whines yet from me, but I'm stopping here anyway just 'cause I missed you all so much.
Oh, maybe a wee whine here...I found my favourite body wash today, it's getting hard to find and it was the last bottle on the shelf...and I dropped it coming in the door. My front porch sure smells good *sigh*
See ya later, alligator whiners

I was presuming I might just maybe have another whine today but nooooo....the tech guy who came to the house today was wonderful and fixed all the problems we had. Maybe it had something to do with my dearest mr cmc contacting about 15 people at their corporate offices???
Just for today I can wait for a whine to emerge so in the meanwhile;here's another whine-ku (sort of)
phone reps were useless
my mr outfoxed them...he's

Ann, rats about the broken body-wash....My daughter once dropped my precious honey wash and smashed the huge plastic container on the shower floor....all $30.00 right down the drain...literally.
when you are done with your wash, will you please start mine? and take Sammy for a spin around the block? I'm at work today.

I just realized that I can go shopping later and purchase ANYTHING I WANT for dinner!
I may get some real butter....and some king crab? or a lobster tail? fresh corn?
this treating myself nicely may actually work....I'm not really worried about gaining weight, I watch my fats usually so my cholesterol should be fine, my HTN is almost gone...hmmm.....perspicacious ain't I?

Welcome back Ann!
cmc - great new word that I didn't know.
Fandicapping - I love it, Fands.
Teach - you are so overdue for some good fortune. May it come soon & last awhile.
Everything is peaceful here - it's finally cool and I'm serene. I'm sure this is probably the calm before the whiney storm - that'll have to be my whine for now.

I had to look that word up myself because I was wrong in guessing it had something to do with needing an antiperspirant. :rotfxko

Hbee, can you call the collection place and inform them that you ARE making payments on the debt!! Good grief!
It's just such a hassle and is so frustrating.
That big whine aside, I met a big fella today..another last day, free admission, cheap date, summer weekend marvel wonder who's on tour here...maybe I oughta ride into the collection agency on this guy!
His name is Zeus...largest horse in the US, 20 hands high and 2,950 lbs:
