I just finally was able to belch for the first time since i was ill on Sunday....i thought i broke something.

i am feeding the pets cold cuts...ham, turkey...they love to be spoiled.

yes, the whines are not the same with out our Hbeeeee!!! I am hoping that she is off to Brazil with a handsome, wealthy surgeon who adores Sir Raven....perhaps he has a big yacht and a staff, personal chef and gave her a car?

it is really cold here! like 11 degrees tonight.....spring can't come soon enough! but there are now 11 full hours of daylight, this makes a huge difference for my moods.

Had all kinds of plans to do all kinds of stuff today. Feel a real
joy of accomplishment, ya da, ya da, ya da....and nothing. I
did nothing today on my day off. I did eat 2 1/2 McDonald's
hamburgers (which I hate) so at least I know my arm to my
mouth motion is working for something besides drinking!

Tomorrow is another day, and I've got my list of To Do's
buried somewhere in all the crap in my hovel called home.

I need some motivation to get things done I tell ya.

Bam when I have gas it looks something like this
Love that pic you posted Ann....

I say yes to the tortoise!

Welcome Kevin! I'm new here too.

Welcome Mtnmagic and Kevin. As Queen Ann says, Whiners are winners. Glad to welcome two new whiners.


I am whine-free this early morning. Jack woke me up before 6 am to go potty and I had to be up at 6 anyway so am glad for my canine alarm clock. Nothing to whine about other than it's still winter, cold and snowy out.


A personal note: Hi AC! Yes, it's me. You can follow me around the site if you like. I have nothing to hide from you or I wouldn't have told you who I am.

For the newcomers....

W.A. Disclaimer
The WAH! 12 Step Program:


1. Admit you whine.

Just say, "I am a whiner."


2. Admit your whining is a problem.

It's not enough to know you whine--you have to realize it interferes with your life. Tell yourself, your spouse, and a friend that you have a problem with whining, that all you have ever done is whine. But don't whine to God! He already knows, all too well. God just sat back while you whined away the years. It's not His fault, after all, so don't go whining to Him with your problem.


3. Seek help to cure your whining.

Whining is but one of your many shortcomings, since you are a miserable excuse for a human being. Another shortcoming is you can't do anything for yourself, otherwise you would not whine. Go whine to somebody to help you--that's all you know how to do, remember?


4. Laugh at your whine.

Made a decision to turn your constant whining over to your sense of humor and learn to "lovingly and wholeheartedly" laugh at yourself each time you whine. Be prepared to be given the nickname "Loony Tunes," however.


5. Step out of your shoes.

Put your whine in perspective. There's a woman in Africa living in a mud hut with a grass roof and NO indoor plumbing. She lives off of $27 a year. She is totally blind and collects sticks for firewood, hoping the next stick isn't a snake. Now, what was your whine again?


6. Eat something nasty.

Eat some vegetable you hate without whining about the taste. And don't hold your nose or cover it with cheese!


7. Listen to other whiners.

Get a part job in a complaint department and listen to other peoples' whines 8 hours a day. But don't complain about your job! If you do, go back to step 3. Go a whole week listening to your wife/husband complain and just say "yes dear." If you can't, go back to step 2. Have kids and listen to them whine--that's how you sound to others. Pay back time! What goes around, comes around!


8. Make a victim list.

Make of list of all persons you thought you had harmed and hope to hell that they'd forgotten all the minuscule crap you'd blown out of proportion. Ask them if you ever whined, and then be prepared to take the return whine.


9. Beat the crap out of your parents.

After all, they raised a whiner. Yes, you started early, but it is not your fault!


10. Beware of falling off the wagon.

Resign yourself to the fact you are going to whine each time you try to stick to your guns when you know you are right. Once a whiner, always a whiner, they say. So either just admit your are wrong or go back to step 1. Cripes, you mean you really want to go back to step 1 after getting to step 10?


11. Whine to your dog.

They love you no matter how much you whine. It's called unconditional love. Unless of course they sense your foul mood. Disguise your whine by mixing the words "good dog" in every sentence. They only know so many words--those two they know. Otherwise, your dog would hate you like all the people you know.


12. Help others.

Help some other whiney-assed ******* with his whine problem. You get to whine about their whining. It's great.

so have at it!

whine, snivle, rant, bitch, and rave away!!!

"W.A. Disclaimer"... just be prepared for the feedback!

Ann gave me the stink eye!


I'm being a bad cat mom. I'm taking care of Isis, but she keeps crying for me to play with her. Off to play with my baby before work.

I hate, absolutely HATE HATE HATE the mile-long voice mail you have to wade thru when calling, say, the phone company's repair service number... and of all the 'options' you are given, none of them is what you need and there's no option to SPEAK TO A HUMAN BEING!!

Tried calling 411 this morning to find a phone number out of state. Dialed 1-411, as I've always done in the past, and got a "sorry, your call cannot be completed as dialed" message. Tried dialing 0 for the operator, got the same message. Called 611, the (old?) repair number. Same message. Called the repair number listed in the phone book and had to go thru so much voice-mail-options ******** I was ready to SCREAM!! And I looked in the phone book and there's no "411" or any other information number listed!!!

This modern voice-mail-technology is SO IRRITATING!!! All I want to do is speak to a real live person!!! My issue is not addressed in all their time consuming "options"!!!

Hi whiners.
I'm just checking in but am still too tired and too stressed to whine or even catch up here. And that previous sentence just proves that you can take the girl out of Whiners Anon..but you can't take the whine out of the girl.

Live and Let Whine.

fyi...hubby is starting to feel better but I'm still dealing with alot of difficult stuff right now

But I had to call their repair number as my phone's not working right. I dialed 1-411 from another person's phone and got directory assistance, but can't get it from mine so had to call them and wade thru their bs voice mail crap just to get the message thru that my phone isn't working right...
