Yet more grumpiness

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

I just visited the EricJamesStone corner of the world. Shortly thereafter I found that poets on this site are fondly unrecognized and shortsited by others around in here. This makes me unhappy and mostly move around in an uncomfortable manner.

And so, my post happily resides in this thread. Odd, no?

But honestly, is there something wrong with poetry? Does everyone here have no mind to read or enjoy it? Now, I've been told EUOL isn't the biggest fan (or at all) of poetry in general, but must we all be attached to his psyche because of his great novel that has an equally great publishers name attached to it? I think a "might" is possible.

Oh, you make me mad. Madder than a hatter!

I'm grumpy have aspirations to be a poet, but usually can't come up with a good second line.

*Desperately tries to think of something that rhymes with "Nantucket...."

Man bucket.

I sure hope you weren't trying to use real words. Also, get those sick thoughts out of your head.

I think the poetry thing is that most poets can't even support their own thread, let alone a whole forum.

Publish a book of poetry (that's not print on demand or made on a copier) and talk to us again.

My oldest son has the chicken pox. Now I get to see if the other two will get it. Yes, he had the varicella vaccine; all three of them did. Fat lot of good it did.

My sister got shingles when I got chicken pox in kindergarten (she was in 3rd grade). Then she got it again just a couple years ago, in her 30s. It was really strange. I think that chicken pox has changed over the years, or something.

I'm grumpy because I donated plasma this morning and the nurse didn't put the bandage on tight enough when I was done. Thus, as I was about to leave, I noticed blood gushing down my arm and seeping through my shirt. I pulled up my shirt and coat sleeve and saw my blood bubbling through the bandage. It was a bloody mess this morning. I hate having to sell my blood/plasma.

My monitor is on the fritz.  And my roommate moved out so I have no kitchen table.  And my column is very late and unwritten.  

Whaaa!

So I go to this salon around the corner and have my eyebrows done. The lady does my eyebrows and, when I mention that I recently moved to Quincy, she asks how I like the area. I responded with an "It's nice. I like it fine." To this, she says despairingly, "Yeah, but it's getting kind of 'Asiany" though."

Oooh, that really made me hard-pressed not to raise (my newly waxed) eyebrows in scornful disbelief at this woman. Oh, brother! I said something like, "Well, the more diversity the better, eh?" BUT, in retrospect, I think I could've one-upped that easily by mentioning that my last boyfriend was Asian. haha! Now -that- would've been fun! *sigh* It takes me too long to come up with good comebacks at times...

Shrain's post made me grumpy. I loved it when I lived in Korea and I left Des Moines, Iowa because the only Korean restaurant in the area closed and there were not enough other asian/ethnic restaurants, markets, or communities for me and my family to be satisfied. Some American just don't appreciate multi-cultural experiences and associations and seem to drive it away.

I am grumpy. Live with it!!
I suppose I wouldn't be if the Elven Kookabura Ninja Frog Monkeys joined me in my battle for the universe!!
Is anyone willing to join me?

[The Bot]

By the way the barmy boy above is my brother. He stole my idea about Elven Kookabura Monkey Frog Ninja thingys. Or is it thingies...?

I'm grumpy because my business' bank statement came yesterday stating I had roughly $6000.00 less than I thought I did.

What!?!?!?

Quickly investigating, it seems that direct deposit from one of the insurance companies is screwed up.  So, someone else has had a huge sum of money appear in their account and never reported it.   Hopefully this will get resovled very, very quickly.

$6000 is a non-trivial amount of money.

Maybe the bank thought 1+2=4 with unusually large values of 2.

Don't blame everything on the bank. I wouldn't trust the insurance companies. I truely hope you can get it resolved quickly. My experience is that anything involving a bank and insurance company will never be resolved quickly.
