Are you pissed off? I'm pissed off. Vent Thread.

sorry things are so shitty for everyone here.

Man, fuck tornadoes.

Warning expires in 10 minutes, totally fucked up my drinking rhythm, now I'm going to bed.

Seriously.  FUCK tornadoes.

Augh, Threat, that sucks   Good luck with the balancing act.

One of my friends recently lost his father to cancer; at least in his case I was able to help out by taking on some of his school responsibilities (I took over administering the pre-competition portions of our Academic Decathlon team's work, as well as staying after with them where the substitute teacher could not).  I hope you have as solid of a support network as you have provided for your family.

Has anyone else had issues with Lasership, the new shipping company used by amazon?

The meth heads next door can't bother to keep their pitbull under control and it tried to attack my 2 year old yesterday. The police didn't feel this was an issue and we had to wait almost 3 hours for animal control to show up. By the time they got here the owners and the dog had disappeared. The animal control guys response? "Oh, I've been to this house before about the same dog, just be sure to give us a call if you see it running loose again."

Fuck you, if that dog charges at my kid again I'm snapping it's fucking neck before I move on to the scumbags that own it.

Those dogs are fucking scary, it's ridiculous that animal control takes so long to show up


Ugh so sick

[tim]

Still pissed off that violence and ethnic cleansing gets you concessions and a better bargaining position.

I agree that the response time is ridiculous when there have been previous complaints. However, please, please, please remember it's not the dog, but the asshats who didn't socialise and/or train the poor thing. I don't even like dogs especially, but have a place in my heart for 3 very special pooches who happened to be pits. Best damned dogs ever.

Oh I totally agree, unfortunately it's almost always the wrong type of people that own them(at least around here).

Personally, as someone who works with animals everyday, I don't ever give them a chance to bite and muzzle them every time.

Dog will be dead if it comes into my yard again. I have a special place in my heart for my two kids.

I didn't mean that to sound like you don't have every right to shoot the dog if it comes after your kid or even just into the yard. I also think you should be able to shoot the police/animal control people for their lackadaisical approach to the situation. Or at least beat them senseless. I would do the same thing if ANY dog came into my yard after my babies. I just object to the stereotyping of all pit bulls as mean. It makes me sad to see people fear them specifically when ANY dog can be a nasty, vicious creature in the wrong hands.

oh yeah, my vent...

I fucking HATE that I never see my husband anymore. He's always off having meetings for his new stock-get-rich scheme crap. Even weekends he's gone all day. I realise he's doing this "for us", but I really resent the fact that he spent ALL of our savings on this shit (and didn't bother to ask me about it) and is now trying to tell me we're going to LIVE in the Kingdom indefinitely. I like the place and all, but I need living things around me, not this gawdawful endless dirt and hades-like heat. Sorry, but if we aren't going to live in MA, I'm going home.
