Nope. And I don't begrudge those people their morningness. Just don't lecture me about how I need to change and tell me how horrible it is I'm so grumpy.
YOU are the one calling people out for posting happy threads. Maybe you need to heed your own advice. No one said anything to you...It's not always about you, you know...

No idea what your issue is with me all of a sudden. I simply said I'm not a morning person. Then I got bitched out. No one bitched out flan and LL for saying the same damn thing. I wonder why that is? And no, everything is not always about me. Please show me one damn post where I said it was. Furthermore, there are some people who come on here every day and bitch and moan about their lives and stuff and others say Oh you poor thing. Is there something wrong with me saying something? I've already been told my walk with god is not right by a supposed Christian so I'm really not in the mood to be told how to post too.

No, you called someone out for posting a "Screaming Title". Not sure what your point was there if not to bitch...

And so what if I WAS bitching? Some people come here every single damn day and bitch? So I guess it's only allowed for some and not for others?

Ohfour · Hooker

It was just uncalled for. You bitch because you don't like the way someone posts. But you don't like it when someone does it to you.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

You know what? I took bitching for WEEKS because I posted too much, too early, too this, too that. I got nasty pm's. I'm still getting them. You have been on the internet to know that typing in all caps is considered to be SCREAMING and is also considered to be RUDE. Lily calls out everyone else's posts. She bitches about ed constantly. I say one damn thing about the constant caps you crawl up my ass. I have every right to voice my opinion just like she has the right to voice hers. Why is it somehow okay for people to chew me out and you never once stood up for ME but now you're the message board police? Yeah, I get it.

DS is scary smart. While out and about yesterday, I put him in the driver's seat and gave him the keys to play with while I got my purse and diaper bag out of the cart. What's he do? Stands up and sticks a key (not the right one) in the ignition. He didn't try to start my truck, thankfully. I can't believe he's only coming up on 15 months and knows that a key goes in the ignition.

Kids are totally smart. Good for him though. And you.

C is working in a day care now and she said she can't believe how little some of the kids know.

One is 2 1/2 and can't walk, feed him self or anything. Been tested for everything and he is fine. Just has parents that do everything for him. said there are others who can't do things they should but this one kid is the worst.

That kid is going to be in a world of hurt if his parents don't let him start doing some things for himself.

Wow that is crazy. My great niece is 18 months & her daycare has already taught her basic sign language. I have no idea how long she has been walking & feeding herself but she is proficient at both. That is just crazy for that poor kid.

I keep finding golf balls in my yard. My neighbor practices and he never retrieves what ends up in my yard. It doesn't go into my fenced in area and we get along just fine so there's no reason he couldn't walk into my yard and get them. We used to toss them back in his yard but have given up. We just keep putting them in the planters. My planters in the front are decorated with sea shells and golf balls, lol.

It is such a beautiful afternoon, albeit in the 30's. Took the dog for a walk, I was actually sweating. Sad how low my temperature bar is set now.

So on the job search. I called my boss today to have a frank discussion with him. He wants me to switch to a different division in my company and go back to being a cost/financial analyst (I am BORED doing PM work). Anyway we will see if that pans out. In the mean time I continue to look and will be interviewing probably next week. I am feeling really good about the job market and my quals, will just take awhile to get what I want.

There are three houses on our street. Us on one side, two on the other. We have a huge front yard. I find all kinds of golf balls, tennis balls and baseballs in our yard/drive way from the boys across the street. We don't care, they play in our yard all the time. The best is running over a tennis ball with the tractor. Those things get some distance shooting out of the mower deck

Yes. You cannot post nasty and/or rude pm's without the person's permission.

I love Cream of Wheat. I also adore Chocolate Malt O Meal. And I love oatmeal too. I hated it when I was young but we had to eat the old fashioned, cooked on the stove kind without butter or sugar.

I like peach flavored instant oatmeal. Not the Quaker brand so much, I like the store brand. The packaging is much better.

These all contain powdered milk. In the Quaker Oatmeal brand, the powdered milk is always clumped, like it got wet then dried. To me that's disconcerting. (Yes, I learned a big word !)

We have soft balls and base balls in our yard.

One tournament every year we have balls hit the house. We try to stay away from the windows during that weekend.

But my goodness! They can put a hurtin on thone balls.

I love oatmeal. I don't mind the flavored kind but I cut it with regular when I can.

If you dump a patch of the flavored in with 2-4 servings of the regular and cook it all together and it's just enough to be good.

But plain old oatmeal with a teaspoon of butter and two teaspoons of sugar and I am a happy camper.

We supervise morning and night at our house. It's not optional. He is left to his own devices at his house. No supervision whatsoever so no one to tell him to brush. We call him at night and try to remind him but sometimes we forget. We don't do it in the am. Honestly, we shouldn't have to parent over the phone because she is too lazy to. So frustrating.
