He wasn't exercising and if he was he was resting too long and talking too much to his buddies between sets. In the morning people r trying to get in and out. If he had been younger than 90 I might would have asked him to move in a polite way. I just sucked it up. Now I will have to go back to the gym to complete my work out. Yes I think venting helps. But I am still recovering from a broken heart too so I may as well try and feel better about that too. I think this venting may make me want to tell all of my business. That may not be so good. Well I will try to keep myself in check for the sake of everyone else. Happy Friday ALL.

I had a similar problem at my old gym. I liked to do the circuit and there was always one gross sweaty guy who would jump between machines and take longer than he was supposed to. He had no consideration when others were trying to complete the circuit and he would jump in front of people on machines and screw the whole system up. The worst part about it is that after I complained the staff did nothing about it despite the huge signs that said those machines were strictly for circuit training only and abusers would be asked to workout on the main floor.

Ugh, and he never wiped down the machines...

Mechanics. Not all, but for the most part. You go in for a simple oil change, especially if youre a girl, and they will always find something you HAVE to have done. Never fails. But it doesnt always work with me.
I know I havent paid much attention to my brakes but this one found grooves in my front rotors and pads are shot. Though I didnt doubt him, and am not as stupid as he may have wanted me to be, I took it in for a 2nd opinion to another place in town, who told me the same thing, but is far less expensive than the last guy wanted. So my ol' truck has an appt next week to get it done.
Not all girls are as oblivious as most want us to be!

Set your daily goals for small things and tell yourself you can't get on the computer until it is done. Even if it is setting a timer for 5 minutes to work on a pile of papers. That's why I don't usually get online until my morning chores are done. Good luck you can do it, you can do it.

Join my club I have the same problem..most of my issues are not knowing WHERE to start. I don't think I am lazy, I have some physical issues that make some days not able to do much but on those days I have where I feel ok, what is the answer. How do you decide where to even start?

Taking the car in has always been my number 1 peeve - want to just smack these baffoons. The second is having work done at the house. I usually try to have the biggest, meanest looking bruiser buddy over at that time and I always wear my old wedding ring - they love to take advantage of single women. It can be a pleasant situation or it can be an ugly one - they choose.

peeve ?

posters who take the time to post on a topic and state they couldn't care less about the topic. ( but yet they took the time to comment )

It doesn't rain often here and I'm happy that we got what we did. However ~ why do the new cars and truck NOT HAVE rain gutters on them? I remember all of the vehicles I've had always had rain gutters to stop the water on the roof from dripping down on you when you got in or out of the car/truck. Who wants to get all wet getting in/out of a car?

Weekend fill in doctors who know jack about the patient and proceed to give their opinion-think not.

That's a bad one Lacey. I am so frustrated right now with some property (out of town) that I'm not going to post my vent. Grrrr! That made me feel a little better. Now . . . on to the grocery store after while.
