[Daisys and Diamonds]

@Daisys and Diamonds
thank you so much for your kind words. Wishing you peace and joy (as much as realistically possible) this holiday season, and always.



@kayla17 I don't know wtf is wrong with some people. I think they're looking to push their anger off on anyone but themselves for whatever happened to them that made them hostile and mean people. That just sucks. Don't let it ruin your day or week or holidays. Hurt people (try to) hurt people.

Thank you and your welcome
Christmas will be what we make of it.
It can still be a nice day without extravagance (ive managed to plan a nice breakfast, lunch and dinner without any extra spend)
Hopefully Gary will appreate it, because it took a lot of thought

Something is wrong tonight and i can't make smilies, or bold text etc Grrrrrrrrrrr !
But what you say about hurt people hurting others is so true

I used to work with an otherwise nice lady - but if there was money stress in their house she became a total bit*h
Over the years i learnt not to take it to heart
How she treated me wasn't right and sometimes she must have thought i was thick for ignoring her behavour (actually she would say things really loudly but under her breath so i could hear them) but i choose to be the bigger person and i kept our friendship in tact - because she was a perfectly nice person when not under money stress

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

So just got a text the groceries will be arriving between 9.30 and 10.30 pm
The evening delivery slot is 5.30 to 8.30 so something must have happened with the truck ?
Anyway so i was outside getting Borris in for her tea and i stod on a bee
It is so sore
I hobled inside but of course Gary cant see - the lighting in this house is 1950s terrible
He managed to get the sting with a torch and a huge magnifying glass and a knif
Omg it is still so sore
Im leaping around, yelling and crying and Borris is still outside
I was taking this picture of Borris and Tibby when it happened

My male co-worker just called me sexist.
He asked me when I was going to invite him over to my house again. I said not right now- I have no plans and Covid. Maybe next year if things get better.
He said it’s BC he is a male. Then he said I was being sexist. Mind you he’s been over my house 3-4 times for different occasions in the 2 years I have known him. We have also gone out for various work get togethers. His kids have even been to my house.
He has never invited me or my husband over to his house ever. We have never been invited out by him either.
I told him to keep it up and I would report him to HR for harassment.

What an A**hole. During any time no one needs this kind of harassment but during a pandemic? Freaking he** what is his problem? Not OK. At all. I would just ignore him and not speak with him til he grasps what an Ahole he is being. :/

 

[missy]

I’m fed up of the selfish morons who are prolonging the pandemic by their recklessness. We’re now in Tier 4 lockdown, and you know those moaning the most are the ones that have caused this because they just won’t follow the rules and stop spreading It.

Yup, selfish morons indeed. And I am not going to apologize to anyone who is offended by my agreeing with that use of those words because they apply. Stop spreading the virus and increasing the time it takes for us to be pandemic free. If one cannot social distance and wear masks then stay the F home. OK? How come those who play by the rules (using common sense) are the ones who ultimately seem to always pay the price? Rhetorical question.

My tolerance for people who refuse to behave considerately of others is at a zero. Life is challenging and there is no need to make it even harder. This isn't a game. It's real life with real life and death consequences.

My three days before Christmas rant:
Packages I ordered ages ago haven’t come yet...and I’m not sure they’ll be here in time. According to my SIL (a mail carrier), the USPS is having a major issue where I live. The warehouse is so backed up that thery have multiple trucks sitting outside full of packages because there’s nowhere to unload them.

I'm sorry @elle_71125 and it probably won't make you feel any better (though I hope it does) but you are not alone. I think USPS is overwhelmed all over the country and there are delays everywhere. Your loved ones will understand getting their gifts late. (((Hugs))).

Thank you. I know I'm not alone in the waiting game. Sometimes it just feels good to rant a little bit.

I ordered custom crochet outfits for Harrison for his newborn pictures, they left Illinois on the 8th and haven't moved. It is what it is. Hopefully he'll still fit them when they arrive. I have a feeling they're just sitting somewhere.

I am tired of coming home and the first words I hear EVERY Fk'ing DAY is "what you feeding me?". He has been working from home since this all started so he sits in his big comfy chair and takes breaks to watch tv and what not I went back to work after 2 months. I am tired, I do it all, cooking, cleaning, shopping, he rarely leaves house now. He has taken to wearing bib-overalls now because they are comfy. He is 7 years older than me and I feel like I am taking care of my grandpa. I mentioned the other day about some piece of jewelry and he said well tell your daughter to quite riding the gravy train and get a full time job, she's not trying hard enough. She suffers depression, is working part-time and has been looking for a fulltime job but nobody hiring fulltime around her area during this COVID crap. Also her military health insurance runs out in March and that's another 250$ a month because she cannot go without her meds. I ordered from Facebook live with delivery to be before Christmas. I can't get anyone at company to give me an update, I've been texting 3 different people and nobody knows where my order is or what I ordered, they won't refund, only store credit, (why would I order from you again if you can't find my original order and send it out). Last but not least I am the first person people see when they come into my building yet it has taken 6 months for them to get me plastic shield for my desk to maintain distance. Everyone else had them months ago. Sorry I just needed to vent all these things before I lose my mind.

There’s a new variant of the virus running riot here in the U.K., France has closed its border with us and the lorries are lining up on the roads to the ports. There’s a real concern of food shortages. We’re going into lockdown on Boxing Day for at least 2 weeks (Scotland) and the schools will be closed again, just at the time when my son has important exams to sit. My other son will not be able to return to university. Both of their lives are being so badly affected, I’m just heartbroken for them. I was doing pretty well until this week but now I’m finding it very hard to be positive.

Yeah, everyone has closed their borders for UK citizens. I am sorry @Snowdrop13!

 

[House Cat]

Covid is about sharing AIR! It isn’t about hand sanitizer or wiping crap down! If you inhale the air of an infected person, you will get sick. You can’t sanitize the air of an infected person. When will people grasp this concept?

4 million travelers over four days. They’re all interviewed saying they have hand sanitizer and will wipe down their seats....yet they will be breathing the air that is shared with over 100 people in a small metal tube.

I just cant...

 

[Snowdrop13]

As I mentioned in another thread, I unfollowed a so-called influencer on IG yesterday because she openly posted pics of her family flying across the US for a skiing holiday, masks being worn under their noses etc etc. WHAT THE HELL is wrong with people?? She must be immune because she’s rich and in first class??

Clam down Missy. If you don't feel safe out in public then you should take the vaccine ASAP and stay home. Why take other people's freedom away? .

What I hate the most about this lockdown is that we are killing our grade school kids mentally by forcing them to stay home. Grade school kids should be socializing with there friends in school. IMO, grade school teachers should get vaccinated ASAP so they can get back to work.

Dear @Dancing Fire you *clam* down lol.

Let me teach you something about rights and freedom.


Your rights end when they harm others.

Your rights don’t occur in a vacuum.

They occur in the context of interactions with others.

Your rights are not limitless.

Start caring about others besides yourself and your family.

Be a better person. Try.

 

[Dancing Fire]

Dear @Dancing Fire you *clam* down lol.

Agree!, like harming others mentally by staying lockup at home?. AFAIK I haven't kill anyone yet. You and Greg should get vaccinated ASAP then you have nothing to worry about. You can't stop other peoples from killing themselves. I still love ya even though we disagree!

Um---most of us do not get to choose when we 'take' the vaccine in the US.
There is a pecking order and unless you are over 75 or have underlying issues (or work in health care), you will probably be waiting until mid-2021 to get vaccinated.

I'm pretty sure you meant to say you feel they should return to 100% in school teaching. Teachers have been working all along--mostly remotely.
There are approximately 3 million teachers in the US. There are approximately 18 million health care workers. Health care workers are a much more critical priority as some hospitals are at the breaking point and struggling with staffing.

 

[winnietucker]

My county in the middle of a pandemic decided NOW was the right time to re-appraise our houses and property. I will be paying 25% more in property taxes each year.

Happened to us too. House value went up $181k and from what I can gather, because it’s pretty in line with the value I can’t do much to contest it. The tax records show less bedrooms and bathrooms than we really have too so I’m afraid to argue it and come back with an even higher value...

Sucks.

Learning remotely is BS for grade schoolers. They should be socializing with there friends in school. However, I'd understand about the elderly teacher's fear on contracting the virus. That's reason why I say grade school teachers should get in front line for vaccination.

I agree it is hard on grade schoolers. It is hard on ALL of us who are choosing to make choices to help control the spread. So why do grade schoolers take precedence over, say, middle or high schoolers? Or health care workers?

So my rant is this---people who value their 'freedom' over the good of society. People who feel that they should be able to walk around maskless and put all of us at risk. Above following basic public safety standards.
This is the reason the US is in the shape we are in---18 million cases and overwhelmed hospitals. Because Americans are notoriously selfish, and frankly fairly ignorant on average.
Bleh and Bah Humbug to everyone who is not being considerate of society as a whole.

DH is an essential worker, he works for a utility, his job has been the source of a lot of tension over the years. Part of it is because he has in the past ALWAYS put the job first, which I get to a point. He is our only source of income so I know a lot of pressure is on him to support three other people.

There was a huge snowstorm in October years ago that literally crippled our state, we were without power for nearly a week and we have electric heat. At the time I had a four year old and an elderly dog we had just rescued that was recuperating from surgery. I had no gas in the car, you couldn’t even find gas near our house so I asked DH to please come home (since he was part of the restoration effort) and bring me gas to put in the car. You would have thought I was asking for a kidney, he did come home with gas but begrudgingly and then went back to work.

I’ve had to ride out long periods with no electricity after storms by myself for 14 years and the only part that makes it easier is the kids are a little older. I can never go to a hotel because we have pets and I won’t leave them home.

Tonight he comes home and I can tell there is a problem. There is a storm coming in on Christmas and they are telling everyone it is mandatory to work. At this point he is more of a support person and might not have to go in but if he does he will miss Christmas morning and the kids opening their presents.

I realize this is a very small issue this year as some people have lost family, jobs, houses etc. I am just sad, I’m sad for the kids. It’s been a really crappy year and it would just be nice to have us all together for Christmas.

It'll be a cold day in hell before I let my grandkids get vaccinated. At their age contracting the virus are slim and none.

Get yourself vaccinated and stay safe at home. You can't control what others do with their lives.

You know when my dad was only knee high to a grasshopper there were terrible polio epidemics before the vaccines
But he and his 7 sibblings all have cheerful memories of staying home, even though the pictures were shut, the pool was shut, school was shut and they had to do their school work in the glass house
Thankfully no one in his family got polio
kids are adaptable ....or they used to be

 

[seaurchin]

I'm thinking I'm not too isolated after all but not isolated enough, since I can still be reached by morons by phone, email and text. They dare to open their snouts and infect my serenity with their dangerous stupidity. It might be better to completely unplug and just be GLAD to be here alone with my honey.

The one present my child asked for is sitting in UPS limbo, which, if lost, will be the third really important package UPS lost this year.

My sister and her family arrived in NY today. She begged me to come visit her, even just one day. Her exact words-
“Come for one night! It would be a shame for us to be a car ride away and not see each other

Even come for the day just for dad’s birthday”

I told her it was too risky. I told her even if she tested negative today, she could test positive tomorrow.
It would be a shame if we gave it to my parents or we got it from someone while we were there.

Of course she said she’s not worried anyway because she, her husband and kids all have the antibodies. Well great for them. Sucks for the the rest of the family who don’t. And just BC you have the antibodies doesn’t mean you can’t still get Covid.

I don’t know why she is so insistent and not being considerate. She didn't give my parents a choice. They actually told her not to come.
I don’t know what she told them but she’s there.

We got rid of the land line because the only calls we got we're scammers wanting to fix our pc/ internet etc
If you are rude to them - which they deserve because they specialize in robbing old people- they ring back at 2am
