Note: This thread was created for the sake of getting things off your chest, no matter how insignifigant they may seem 2 weeks later, or even 2 days later.


I just need to get a few things off my chest, because I've been in such a irritable mood lately. (all the squaring going on between the current transits and my natal chart maybe?)...

Rant number 1:
I live in a townhouse, or condo, or whatever you wanna call it, ok? So, I'm sitting with my daughter watching 'Chicago', the movie, last night, when my next door neighbor comes pounding on my door telling me that the noise is coming right through his bedroom wall, and he can't sleep. It was 10:40pm on a Saturday night (?!!)The bedrooms are upstairs, and we were watching in living room, on the first floor. It wasn't even very loud! The guy finds a reason to come and pound on my door at least once a week to complain about something. I think he's just power tripping or something, because I was so friendly and apologetic the first time he complained. (about my kid's computer music being too loud, but in the middle of the afternoon)
So it's gone from that to us not even being able to watch a movie in our own home without him having a problem with it.
Last weekend I came home to a note on my car saying "please turn your alarm clock off when you're not going to be home. We like to sleep past 7:30 on weekends if you don't mind...signed, your unfortunate neihbor" (my clock radio is set to just buzz, not a blairing radio or anything like that.)
couple of weeks ago, he pounded on my door and told me I should shut my blinds, because there was a couple of preteen boys walking by and trying to see in my window from across the parking lot (??!!).(they were my kid's friends, who had called on her, but she couldn't come out because she had homework) Anyway, apparently, this was disturbing HIM somehow.

Rant number 2.
We're barely into November, and we already have about 8 inches of snow on the ground. We had an unseasonably nice October, up until about Tuesday of last week, when the tempurature suddenly plummetted to below zero, with strong winds and snow....just in time for Halloween.

Rant number 3.
My rotten kid failed to call me until ten to eleven on Halloween night, after not having spoken to her all day, no note, no message on the machine nothing...So I had to ground her, which sucks just as much for me as it does for her. She's only 13...how much worse is this kind of stuff going to get?

I'm just feeling so generally pi$sy lately, I can't hardly stand myself!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHKKKK!!!

Anyone else need to b*tch about something?

Geez, lioneye, that all really, really sucks. I had a neighbor like that last place that I lived (a townhouse).
She complained that we were a bunch of "frat kids" to the police, apparently fabricating charges (b/c otherwise there was nothing that could've been remotely a good enough reason for them to come out...oh, oh, except for one Saturday afternoon/evening AT 5 PM when she called the cops b/c she said that my music was too loud...GAH! WHAT HAPPENED TO CIVIL SOCIETY! JUST ASK ME TO TURN IT DOWN IF IT'S DISTURBING YOU! AAAHHHH!).
Going back, the cop showed up to be greeted by my ex-Army Ranger roomies; they talked for awhile, and then the police officer said, "If she bothers you again, just tell me - here's my name."
Yeah, so, I wanted not-so-nice things to happen to her.

My gripe tonight:
Jason and I were on the phone for a minute tonight (tonight being Sunday, the only time he can call) when some of the other privates starting acting rowdy. They were all called off of the phones to be smoked.
*bangs head*



He was able to call back, though, so it was all good.
Oh! And I had the most beautiful walk today up to get coffee (I can have a little bit of caffiene now.)
It was simply gorgeous.


*ahem*
Sorry.
Return to griping.

I have a gripe!

In September our new au pair came (from Denmark). A real cutie, really sweet, son fell in love with her, happy happy world. After about 6 days she decides she is too homesick to stay. She wants to go home. Of course, she'll "stay till you guys find a replacement". So every second day she asks, can I go home tomorrow? Or, my Dad found a flight for me, for the day after tomorrow, do you mind?" All the while I'm trying desperately to find a replacement that can come RIGHT NOW. That cost me about 2-3 hours a night, after a 10 hour work day. So we get a replacement, a sweet girl from the US, she came oct. 11. We love her. She is fantastic, son is in love with her, hugs and kisses her all the time, she fits right in with us. After 4 days, she goes visit her boyfriend for two weeks, who is also in Germany, and she came back last night. She has decided to go home and finish her studies. I'm getting a complex here. She is willing to help me find a replacement. Great. I asked her if it's something we did, I mean she's only been here a few days. No, she wants to go stay a few weeks with her boyfriend, cause the vineyard he is at they can always use more help! And then she wants to start school again in January. EXCUSE ME, can we not think of these things BEFOREHAND???? I'm so frustrated I want to cry. And ****** off, cause it costs me a LOT of time and money to find a replacement.

*grumblegrumblegrumble*

Thanks for the chance to vent!

I'll ditto that, Aphrodite. My neck has been so tight for weeks I can barely stand it...

For the rest of you, I wish you quick resolutions to your problems. Nasty neighbors, I know how hard that can be...

Aphrodite,
Use this one, then I'll give you my personal email!

chellemabelle9@yahoo.com
Don't forget the 9!

Looking forward to hearing your adventure!

juniperb The Rescue Remedy helped me sleep two nights! The babies are doing reasonably well...no fur has yet flown, at least not while I've been around. Thank you for asking! It's a little stressful, and my two are not happy...and we have one other little problem that I won't post here, but it truly has gone better than I expected. Thanks for all your well wishes.


And you're right...I too have had many blessings...

Wow, Nackie...that definately sounds like an aggrevating situation, and a very legitimate gripe, I'd say.
...WHY can't they figure out what they want beforehand, and if they make a committment stick to it?
Young people can be like that. You can't really put much stock into what they say from one day to the next. Actually, older people can be like that too. Depends on the individual, I guess. You've just had some crappy luck by the sounds of it.

UGH! I feel your pain having to deal with that neighbor! WHAT A PAIN!!!

I still have an apt in NYC and our downstairs neighbors are a couple wankers. My father and I lived there for such a long time and they'd bug him occasionally.. but when he moved to Amsterdam for a while I was living there alone and things got really bad. I guess the guy downstairs figured he could harrass me because I am female or something.

I came home once at 3 or 4am after clubbing. I took off my shoes at the door and went to bed. I am NOT a heavy footed person. Once in bed my PHONE RANG! It was the downstairs neighbor complaining at me for walking too loud.

He also complained when I would sweep and one time he called me because I got up in the middle of the night and WALKED TO THE BATHROOM AND BACK TO BED!

FREAK!

Then once I had 3 friends over (my boufriend and another couple). We were just sitting there playing some videos games... not even loud... must have been 4 in the afternoon. The guy came upstairs to complain and actually tried to ENTER my apartment to see how many people I had over.

JERK!

arrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!

So yes I feel your pain!! It's VERY VERY frustrating!

------------------
we shall meet tomorrow night... and i'll kiss you just as tenderly as cygnus kissed the deserts

Today was kinda messed-up b/c
(ahem, only ya'll ladies'll probably sympathize w/ what's about to come, and I apologize if anyone's offended)

  • OK. So, before I was pregnant I was a slightly oversized 34-D Cup. As of this morning, I was down to constantly wearing one bra that by all rights is a D 1/2...which still gave me the wonderful quadra-boob effect, and it kinda floated above where it should by rights be.
    I broke down today and bought a couple of 36-DDs thinking, "Hey, these'll last me the whole pregnancy.
    *sighs*
    They're almost too small, too.
    WHERE DOES A PERSON FIND DDD BRAS? WHERE?
    WHEEEEEERE?

poor proxie...

Do you have any "Value City" type stores in your area? They sell the overstocks of department stores, and often have a very varied selection, priced inexpensively. I have seen E-cups. Would it help to increase to a 38 or 40DD? The cups would automatically be bigger.

There are likely shops for pregnant women, but they are also probably expensive.

Good luck girl!

Poor Prox...getting tired of the t*tty fairy visiting you every night, are you? lol...
I feel your pain. Trillian is right, though. Try bras that are bigger around the ribcage, They may actually feel more roomy for the "girls". Even if there's a little pop-over going on, at least you'll be more comfortable around the rib cage. There's a line of bras call "Just My Size" here in Canada, available at the discount dept. stores. I'm sure you've got them there too. Might as well invest in at least one that fits you right during this ample time. And when you're back to normal size, you'll have a couple of lovely bonnets. lol.

No, really, all kidding aside, Prox...I do understand how aggrevating that can be. Hard on the back too.


WofA, Yeah, I think you're right, he's being an a-hole because your dad's not around. Your N.Y. neighbor sounds like he's power tripping, just like I suspect my neighbor is doing, because I'm a single lady, no man around to stick up for me. Unbelievable Jack-A$$eS!! I think I might embarrass him next time, (and I'm quite sure there'll be a next time), by asking him if he's just looking for excuses to talk to me, and then I'll say, "because I have to tell you, I DO have a boyfreind already". Think that'll make him think twice before pounding on my door after that?

I have an update:

actually, I wrote this last night, but continuing in the same fashion as the day began, is how my night ended. Every time I hit enter, I got a 404 error grrrr....

At work at 3 pm yesterday my au pair calls. She's like, hey, how ya doing, we're good here, are you having a good day at work, oh btw, I packed my bags and I'll be leaving in the morning, I hope that is ok with you. I'm like, what??? she's like, yeah, she's decided she wants to live with her boyfriend, and they need help at the vineyard, so she's gonna go help.

:SHOCKFAINTANDFALLDOWN:

We have no family around us and no one available to take care of my gr. 2 son. So au pair is leaving me totally stuck. And she doesn't care. I tried talking to her for 4!!! hours last night, but basically she just kept saying, yeah, its shitty, but I'm leaving tomorrow. This after 4 days at her new "job". She's homesick and wants her boyfriend. I begged her to stay til Thursday, I'm home in the afternoon, then she can go to her BF until Monday morning...that's not so bad! She has three days off a week she's perfectly welcome to go to him. Guess not. LIFE SUCKS.

And then, at about 8 pm, after I spent an hour trying to coordinate everything, the doorbell rings. The neighbour came up to tell me there's water all in our basement and he doesn't think it belongs there. I go down to look...about a 1/4 of an inch water. Everywhere. All the furniture in the basement is RUINED, I guess the water pipe must have been leaking for a while, everything is black and GROSS and growing, but yesterday the pipe just went crazy, spewing water. So we spent 3 hours down there trying to get all the stuff moved out of our basement and sopping up the mess. The plumber comes today.

*sigh*

Ever just have a bad day? Our au pair just left a few minutes ago. She didn't even say goodbye, not even to my son. I tried really hard last night to stay on even ground and not get angry and mad and shouting. I might as well have gotten it out of my system!

Nackie - Wow. That is...that is...wow. You must have the worst opinion of young people now.

trillian - I'll have to consider that; I think I'll wait a couple of weeks, though, see if these...I dunno...fit better or something.

Aph - Thanks for the link!

lioneye - Yes, yes I am.
I mean, at 5'9'' I'm still only 130 lbs; my stomach and boobs are somehow gaining weight while taking it from...where? I dunno.

*giggles*

Here's muh belly:
(Note: I took this pic to send to Jase; if anyone here will be offended by a lil' preggers belly, don't look. I used a little border thingy to cut out the part of my belly that kinda fades down to *cough*, so it should traumatize no one.)



SEE, though? I'm not even showing that much...the child must be growing in my chest.

Awww proxie, I hear ya!

During my pregnancies I went from a 36 B up to a 40 D; so yes, as trillian and lioneye said, going to a larger size for the ribcage should help you to feel more comfortable. BTW...be prepared for even more "growth" once the baby comes and your milk comes in. Are you planning to nurse? If so, be sure to get a few nursing bras; they're a godsend, lol. Take care.

P.S. After seeing the pic: there's an old wive's tale that says if you gain "all over" you're having a girl; if you gain mostly in "front" you're having a boy. Of course, this didn't apply for me, as my 2 pregnancies reflected each of these ways of gaining, and I had 2 girls anyway, lol.

Yep, we're planning to (try to) nurse through 6 months.
Maybe I should just get a big black and white spotted shirt and call it a day

Re: carrying: Yep, I've heard that one, too, as well as the one that if you're carrying high it's a boy, low, it's girl.
My Mom, though, carried me high, my sister low, and my brother high (but I am a tomboy, so maybe there's something to it ).

proxieme~ I love your little belly! I am going to comment now, about boobs/breastfeeding etc.... as I hope what I have to say has value, even if it is simply for the b*tch thread factor. I developed really early. I wore a sized 36 C/D in grade five at least ( I think before that, actually) and was known as having big boobs- which, aside, does something to a young woman's reputation, but that is another topic entirely.... When I had my son, I fluctuated throughout the whole pregnancy and when my milk came in, whoa nelly! I can't estimate the size of them.
I breastfed him for a long time.... I'd read about it, and thought it was best, and that we'd let him lead, and take direction as to what worked for him....well, he was a t!t man! ( So was my daughter, actually!!!!)
Now, my daughter is three. My chest is a 34/36 B at the most. I went down between pregnancies too. They simply disappeared. I went from identifying myself with a large breasted woman, to being a small breasted woman. Strange. My body has changed in many ways. I am grateful to have experienced that warm, nurturing special time with my children ( and it gives you a chance to relax.....you need it!) My body is stronger in many ways, did/does things I couldn't even fathom before, I am very aware of my body now, as opposed to before. The act of carrying a child opens you in so many ways. Not only emotionally. Point being, don't get too comfortable with your body's identity, as it can and does change. In a lot of ways, I am better. I am leaner looking, more proportionate, have an easier time maintaining my weight, etc... but my boobies are now ALOT smaller than they used to be. A blessing and a curse. I hope the changes in your appearance are positive and reflect the changes happenning elsewhere too. Sports bras are something I LIVED IN!!!! Food for thought. Good luck, you marvelous lady, you!

Niki - No, nooo water here

PixelP - My fraternal G'mommy had the same thing happen. Before she had her children, she was about 5'8'' and rail thin...with bras that had to be specially ordered (I think that they were EE or something).
Three boys later, she was a C, max - they went down with each pregnancy (and I don't even think that she nursed).
And I hear you on the early development bit - I was a C cup in the 5th...I heard rumors about myself that made my hair curl.

Another early bloomer here...started in grade 4, refused to wear a bra because none of my friends had to...until I couldn't hide them under baggy sweaters anymore, and couldn't do anything active, really. But I didn't hit "c" cup until grade 7.'

Yeah, all those things were said about me too. It's ridiculous...being called a sl*t when you're still a virgin, and you don't even know what the word means.

Makes you feel dirty and ashamed of your body is what it does. Makes you kinda feel like a freak show too. (initially, anyway)

I always envied smaller chested girls, because they could wear tiny little shirts, with spaghetti straps and tight t-shirts, and v-necks, etc, and nobody would think anything of it, but when I tried to wear those kinds of things, OH MY GOD...totally different story..."she dresses so sleazy" "she's such a show off" "she's after my boyfriend" etc... But when you wear looser fitting shirts, you feel like you look fat, even if you have a 26" waist line.

Having ample boobies isn't all it's cracked up to be.
