Revenge of Grumpy Bear

[Peter Ahlstrom]

When my youngest sister was 4 or so, she came up to my mom with an empty bottle of rubbing alcohol and said, "I ate alo!" Needless to say, she was rushed to the hospital to have her stomach pumped. She suffered no ill effects (she's 25 now), so we're not sure if she actually drank the bottle...one theory is she dumped it out, then put water in it and drank that, but who knows? Anyway, do not leave your bottles of rubbing alcohol within reach of children.  Even small amounts can cause blindness or death.

I shreded a tire on my way home from work on Friday.  When I went to change it my spare tire was flat as well.  When I finally got my car to the shop on Saturday they said my rear brakes were 90% worn so I had to get those repaired as well.

I bought this journal at deseretbook.com and was really excited to get it, since I'm all out on my current one, so I wait... and wait... and two weeks after they say they sent it it gets here and it's TINY! I mean come on it cost me $15 and it's not even full size, which the reviews were really deceptive about. I'm seriously annoyed cause now I'm stuck with this stupid journal that won't even work for how I go through mine.


but that's nothing as bad as the car, we just had that happen, in 2 months we bought 4 new tires, new brakes and whatever the thing is that's below the brakes.... I told him to go get those checked out

Not to interrupt the grump-fest, but at 40 pages, isn't it time for a new thread?

[Spriggan]

We use a database now, no real reason to make a new thread since size no longer matters.

But if people want a new one we can do that.

[The Lost One]

No, the more grumpiness there is makes me feel better when I am grumpy.

The longer the thread the better.

I like the idea of keeping it contained.... I think it might be safer that way, we don't want it tainting the water.

I seem to have lost my cell phone. I haven't seen it since Monday night while we were having dinner at a restaurant. The restaurant doesn't have it. The good news is I don't think anyone used it in the 24 hours from when it went missing and when I suspended service on it, which may mean it's just misplaced and not "stolen" or that someone found it and plans on returning it, but I have no idea.

I hate my roommate. 
She is trying to ruin our lives.  Not in the "make us miserable while we're here" way, but in the "I've called the police and they can get you in trouble" way.  She must love having this much control over all of us cause we're all freaking out - and she doesn't care.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

what did you do that will get you in trouble with the police?

[Tekiel]

Kelly's insane and called them cause she says we took her clohes.  I don't know what she did with them, but it's a really stressful time right now.  She won't let any of us pay for them, she wants to see someone charged.

And no, none of us took her clothes.  None of us want anything to do with her now.

[Shrain]

Yeesh. I had a crazy roomie once. Well a few, but one was particularly nuts. She was even stalking this guy who dated her once and was NOT interested in dating her ever again--nor did his girlfriend appreciate the stalkerish stuff. Anyhow, her roomies from the previous year refused to live w/ her, and I soon found out why... Wish I'd known!

But, anyhow, don't be too worried because, honestly, I think the cops have more important stuff to worry about than clothing theft. If not, I should move where you live. Is this girl on the lease? Have you spoken to the landlord about the problem? Or is this not a rental situation?

I'm so glad the only roomie I have is my husband. I don't miss those days.... at all.

The belt that runs my power steering on my minivan shredded today.  Now I get to try to drive it to a dealership to get it fixed on Monday with no power steering. Oh, and the alternator isn't working correctly, either--I think the same belt affects it. Wheeee!

[42]

With a mis-working alternator--your battery will probably be dead come Monday. Particularly with this lovely weather. Yes, I've lost too many belts on my cars.

I grumpy because the stupid honor code office messed up on my ecclesiastical endorsement that was sent them so I have to get another one. And I don't even know if I'm going to grad school yet since I have a good chance of getting a stable job with the state. So I just wish I could see the future right now.
