mmm-k...guess that went in one ear and out the other.



It. Does. Not. Matter. why you are frustrated with your mom or whether it is justified. It's all about your outlook. If you focus on negative things that affects your whole being. It really does. You can CHOOSE to instead look for the positives. Knowing full well, that sometimes it will be mighty hard to find some. When you get in that habit, I fully believe that your life will improve. People can sense negativity and don't really want to be around it. Choose to be a person that others want to be around. That will come across better in an interview than someone who has a negative vibe. I know it sounds cheesy but I really do believe this. Now, that's not the only thing you have to do for your life to change for the better but it's a start and it's free and it's something you can totally control.

lol! Do you not read what anyone writes? Good grief!

And for the record - any special requests regarding laundry around here would be a, "yeah, right, whatever". If it's that big a deal, make sure you are around the whole time to see it through beginning to finish.....I probably wouldn't have remembered either.

Seriously txt if I was to post what I felt I would be banned here. MM's daughter is having surgery tomorrow, ALL of us are suffering under the economy, and you are whining about someone putting free cable in your room, and being so inconsiderate as to do your laundry for you. You are going to get absolutely no sympathy here for your self-centered pity-parties.

GROW THE **** UP AND QUIT COMPLAINING.

Nope. Didn't even make it into the ear canal, MM.

I DIDN'T WANT HER TO!!!!
I was happy with the cable I never watched before and was happy with doing my own laundry. I've been doing it all day. My loads never finish that fast she must have screwed with it because the sheets were literally in the washer and then in the dryer AND DRY like 30 minutes later. Not possible.

And I am sorry to hear about everything going on with everyone but its not my fault that my mom's off spending money on cable for my room that I don't even watch when she can't even pay her other bills as it is. Its not my fault I say don't touch my stuff and then my sheets pull a houdini and miraculously are done in under 30 minutes.

I have my cell phone for my internet, I can watch TV online.
I don't need all the crap she's putting in the house.

What you fail to get txt is that the problems you get on here and whine about and make so much drama over are petty and childish. We don't care. And we don't care about your explanations either.

We are all adults on here with much bigger issues weighing on our plates. And being subjected to your drivel is annoying.

You are smart, healthy, young, able-bodied, capable, and so far appear to be a huge big loser. Your life will not change until you make the changes. To make the changes you actually have to DO SOMETHING. Appreciate that you have free accommodation, and all that comes with something as generous as that, and make a very concerted effort to find a job. That means you get up early and go to businesses, make calls, whatever it takes.

The whining has to to stop. Now. Seriously.

MM, late to the show, but Sixth in sending best wishes for a speedy recovery to your DD, and you too. The Jack is under Dew's sink if you need it.

I feel positively virtuous at the moment. I peeled and sliced a dozen peaches for the freezer, then made dog treats with the leftover bananas. I downloaded directions to make my own laundry detergent on the shopping forum. Probably won't follow through, because detergent is so often on sale, but it would give me a few points over my friend who I am competing with to save the most money.

Txt, I think if you were to search your post history here, and actually read some of the "problems" you speak about, you would get where the rest of us are coming from. You are luckier than many, and we just don't see you as a victim of anything but yourself.

You might be right about that. I get ours at Sam's and it's pretty cheap. One thing I do to save money though it use vinegar instead of fabric softener. Works great.

Yes it is. I resisted the urge to reach for it during someone's pity party. (I'm turning down all future invitations, BTW.)

Good for you Mattie! I've actally been making big bars out of hotel soaps for years, lol. Lately I've been thankful I listened to all my parents' Depression stories.

(Never toss out the cotton that's in the top of a bottle of pills. Save it to remove fingernail polish. I've got a couple hundred "How To Be Poor" tips to share!)
