No good, pathetic, miserable waste of space! Her life is a disgusting failure and she raised her kids to be every bit as bad. It takes MUCH badness to get this out of me, but here we are. She tormented my grandfather, manipulated my grandmother, brought a (now convicted) pedophile into the family, and so much more. Frustrated and feeling helpless. If it weren't for wanting to fulfill a promise to my grandfather, I would walk away from the entire miserable mess and not look back.

Are newbies welcome in this thread? I'm just missing my husband so bad, and want to whine about it. We only had 3 1/2 years together, it wasn't nearly long enough.
Welcome! I always enjoy reading when you share about your husband. What a very special person he was! Feel free to whine, cry, scream, share stories, or anything you need.

I feel you pain as I only had about 4 years with my late partner when he died of an accident.

Grrr. The company DH is on contract to is not off to a good start with me. I hope he loves the project and it is worth the irritation (or that it is irritating enough he asks to change projects as soon as seemly!). They wanted him to go in person for a few days or a week as a get credentials and meet people thing. Clear across the country. Like one coast all the way to the other. Fine. Be there in three weeks? Eek. Okay, road trip! Push it back a few days. Push it back a week. Nevermind! No need to come in person. (Thank goodness we had planned a fun road trip rather than buying airline tickets and paying to change repeatedly for nothing!) Whatever. Turned out all they needed in person was to look at his birth certificate in person so he was able to do a video chat instead. Crazy. Whatever.
Daily meeting at 7am our time. Okay, main company is east coast. Reasonable time for most of the contractors too. Great. We get up this morning at 5:30 to tend all of the animals and have breakfast together. I get a text message while he is feeding the cats that he has a 6am meeting that the just got notified of. It was 6:01 at the time. Gah! So I took care of the dogs, finished with the cats, brought him coffee & a banana up in his office, and am sitting here wondering what sort of misery this project will be. The chickens are still sleeping. Way too early for the ducks. Breakfast for us after his meeting.
I really hope this is just project kickoff chaos and not how things will continue to run! Morning meetings are fine, but notification ought to come in more than 5 minutes in advance!

The saga with my dear friend's "best friend" continues...
Now she is criticising the funeral arrangement, in that she was not given the opportunity to participate and read a piece, being her "best friend" etc...
She contacted the family to say she should be organising her funeral being her "best friend" when she was alive.
After she was told no, it was a family matter, she sent them a list of suitable invitees to the funeral. Apparently I was included by name on the list!!!
Her husband rang the family saying she should be seated with the family being her "best friend".
Her recent FB posts are excruciating to read.
I appreciate she is grieving, however, she is not the only one who has lost a very dear friend.
I can appreciate why my mate's family has blanked her for her intrusions at a time when they needed time and space to grieve themselves.
I gave this friend a memento of our mutual friend yesterday at the wake, mainly to say thank you to her for her efforts in contacting me in person to inform me about our friend's untimely death.
I have now unfriend her on FB - she was not a friend of mine before my dear friend's tragic death.

She sounds exhausting. I wouldn’t just unfriend her, I would block her on FB for that added layer of “keep your crap on your side of the fence.” I cannot imagine being so disrespectful as to make someone’s funeral all about me because I wasn’t included the way I thought people should include me!

Yup, can't stand her.
As far as I am concerned I have now thanked her for her kind thoughts, time and efforts in trying to speak to me in person etc...

I'm cleaning up my son's toy pit. He'll do it himself if I ask but knowing him, he'll cuddle every toy and it'll take 100000000 years.
It's so dusty!!!!!!!!!!! I don't want to do it but we are turning his playroom into his study, ready for high school next year. Omg where did the time go!!!!!!!

Thank you, and yes he was. You know he was an amazing human being when even his rabbi cried when my husband told him of the cancer diagnosis. I don't know how I got so lucky as to have him, but I treasured every minute we had.

BLOODY HELL. I've lost track of the repair issues we've had this year.
Dishwasher broke 2 wks. ago. Installers came this morning with new one and couldn't install it because it needs a plug. The old one is hardwired. During this enlightenment, they discovered that the shut off valve for the dishwasher is leaking as well as 2 very old looking copper pipes under the sink. So I need an electrician and a plumber. New dishwasher is stored in the garage.
To foreshadow today's disaster, the sound bar stopped working on the TV yesterday. Everything was fine when I turned TV off Monday night and nothing worked when I turned it on last night. Tried all the fix-it suggestions by manufacturer then called Best Buy for Geek Squad help and got the usual chatbot runaround.
I'm sooooooo close to ugly crying.

Isn’t it so frustrating? Why does everything seem to go wrong in multiples? Hope you get it sorted out soon and have some worry free months ahead!

Thanks. My beloved handyman is coming over this afternoon to assess. Getting a plumber and electrician to do any work that he can't do will be difficult. People here are waiting months to get service from most of the trades and this has been going on since before covid.

Wow! That is incredible wait time. Hope your handyman can help you out. We are fortunate to have both a master electrician and a plumber as friends. No idea how long a company would take but months is just crazy!

Hopefully they don’t find mold, given that it has been leaking.

Thank you! I’ve worked in vet med for 4 years and this is the 2nd pup we’ve ever brought home. My husband even said we’re opening our home to abandoned pups and senior small dogs until they find a home. This is my longest foster though. Do I boohoo now? Or later when she leaves? I feel sick packing her things up.

I was getting too burnt out with vet med and my husband taught me the trick to take it one day at a time or else I will lose my mind, *suicid**l thoughts* We have her now, we’re happy, we’re playing. We will deal with her leaving us when the time comes. Vet med is rough, ya’ll. Be kind to your vet staff.

Loving this as you are AWESOME for fostering. It isn't easy to let go, but you are saving lives and helping get families for each you let go of. Thank you!

Thank you so much! I know she’ll have her own family and that makes me happier than anything but so hard to let her go. It opens our home up for more abandoned puppies and seniors.
