<div>my boyfriend is making me insane. Everything I say everything i do I always come out feeling like an idiot. And i know im not as a matter of fact I know that Im right for the most part. So why is he doing his best to drive down every plan that I have? He tried ot get me to spend 300 bucks for 2 new cell phones when he already has one he just doesnt want to pay his bill. Totally sounds like hes trying to manipulate the situation and its driving me insane because I know hes not that type of person.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/paddedcell">!!!

<div>Ok so being a criminology/admin of justice major in college, I (stupidly) rented this movie.... basically to see how Hollywood decided to butcher her story..... <br/> <br/>Im still trying to figure out how the lives of these two cops and the girlfriend had anything to do with the murder other than one became obsesses with it and the other solving it (according to Hollywood). That "dead girl" was discussed and shown maybe 1/4 of the time and the rest of the movie was about these cops head trips... I mean jeez... even the person who discovered the body was all wrong!!!! <br/> <br/>Did anyone else see it? Am I on crack or what?

<div>THis is driving me NUTS!!! i was hired to work on call at an emergency homeless shelter! i gave all my paperwork to the director that was pretty energetic and he said that the following week i will get a call from the HR and sign my contract. A week later, i called him (the director) and he sounded kinda ticked off because i called! He said not to worry that the HR will call me either friday (we were thursday) or monday to set up an appointment to sign the darn paper and that himself would call me to set a work schedule. Ok i graps that concept! <br/>We are tuesday and still no call!!!! <br/>so now i feel like i should call directly the HR but i am afraid also of pissing them off and not get the stupid job because of that, on the other hand i need to know!!!! <br/>I hate those situation!!!! <br/>crap! <br/>:(peace <br/>Vero</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/paddedcell">!!!

<div>I went to a birthday party for my one-year-old second cousin on Saturday. I thought it was pretty tacky that the hosts (my cousin's inlaws) refused to turn their A/C on to cool the house more than 85 degrees (and it was 117 outside). <br/> <br/>But, my cousin topped even that! Today I got an e-card thanking me for my gift. The card said "Thank you for the toys, books or clothes that you gave me for my birthday. I am enjoying them all!" I think e-cards are a pretty tacky way to express sentiments anyway, but she didn't even personalize them! I am fully in support of online communication, but whatever happened to hand-written thank you cards. Am I the ONLY one who sends them???</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/paddedcell">!!! The Padded Cell !!!</a> - 18 replies </div>

<div>This would be funny (in a dark way) if I wasn't married to it. <br/> <br/>Spouse has a habit of starting projects and never finishing them so there many years of debris that I sporadically liquidate at a loss… included in this are 42 'project cars' in his yard. In addition to the background noise we have made some poor financial decisions -workable with care and a little luck -as my house is for sale to pay everything off. <br/> <br/>I'm really working hard to tighten all expenses- property tax and homeowner insurance due are going on my credit card….. so what does he do. <br/> <br/>A buddy is selling his truck- so he buys it. It's not a running truck because that would make sense to actually have a vehicle that can reliably get to work etc.. no - it's yet another 'project car'... <br/> <br/>(Sounds of irritation and defeat…) <br/> <br/>Thanks for the rave… <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/paddedcell">!!!

<div>My grandmother (mom's mom and my last surviving grandparent) passed away in December '05 after years of medical traumas. We'd thought we'd be saying "farewell" to her for twenty years! During the last decade my mom, the eldest of four, was constantly running across the state to deal with grandma's medical issues and alternately keeping her and dad afloat. (He'd had a stroke and wasn't too mobile, FYI). <br/> <br/>So after her dealing with all of that and finally having some breathing room to rebuild everything, I got a call from my dad that last Tuesday (8/22) she'd passed out at her computer while working on her travel agent biz and had been taken to the hospital. After a breakneck trip to Modesto, I arrived to find that she'd been declared dead on arrival at the hospital!!! <br/> <br/>Needless to say, dad was in a totally altered state and my sister flew out from Nashville the next day to support him and help out with all of the stuff that we needed to deal with. I had contacted both a funeral home and the hospital to deal with as much stuff as I could, keeping dad from dealing with all of the paperwork, and was assured that mom's primary care physician was going to sign the death certificate (which legally needs to happen within 15 hours of a person being declared dead, I'd been informed) and was shocked to find out two days ago that her doctor had changed her mind! I finally contacted the Modesto coroner's office and spoke to the assistant coroner who signed her certificate...six days late!!!! WTF! <br/> <br/>So all of the financial/business folks that require a death certificate now need to wait another 7-10 days to finalize their paperwork and close out mom's accounts due to this hospitals incompetence! Fortunately the final arrangements for her cremation and scattering ashes are weeks away but this really sucks. <br/> <br/>And to throw a bit of extra salt on our wounds, my sister just called me and said she'd had to take one of our parent's cats in to have it put to sleep this afternoon. <br/> <br/>It does pour when it rains! <br/> <br/>Yuck! <br/> <br/>SMSapphire</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/paddedcell">!!!

<div>*&amp;(*%#$%^%*&amp;^%$%^&amp;* NEIGHBORS!!! I have two big dogs that bark every once in a while, along with all the other neighborhood dogs .... they bark randomly, but not for very long, and they usually are barking at *something* ... someone walking by the front yard, or other dogs barking, or the garbage being picked up. There is almost always someone home, so I think we would know if they are barking or not!!! <br/> <br/>When I first got the dogs, I actually took them over to my neighbor, and "introduced" them, and gave them all my contact numbers in case the dogs became a nuisance or were barking while I was gone. They called me once when I was in Disneyland and my dog-sitter hadn't fed them ... otherwise, nothing. Then, out of the blue, they called Animal Control on my dogs and threatened to sign a citation because they were barking .... that was two months ago ... <br/> <br/>... and so Animal Control showed up at my door again today, because the same neighbors complained about non-stop barking for "hours" around 2 p.m. ..... ummm, yeah, they barked a couple of times, and then stopped, and barked a couple of times and stopped ... hardly what I would call non-stop barking for hours! Even the Officer that showed up said she has never heard them bark, and she has even parked around the corner listening and hasn't heard them barking. <br/> <br/>So my rant would be, why the f**k won't they just come over and talk to me, stupid farking chickenshit jackasses **editing the rest of the blistering invectives that would burn everyone's ears off** ..... I mean seriously, they don't even have the right damn dogs! Stupid fuckers, I am sooooooooo pissed off .......

It appears they ran a special about the perverts, whom I lovingly (HA!) call the "freeks and geeks", that troll the net. Well to be more exact, it was about the freeks that troll for young teens for their own self gratifing sick sexual pleasure. Anyway, for my daughters... I turned it on. Sounds like a good thing, right? <br/> <br/>So we watched it and my girls actually understood why I do what I do and they seem to be appreciative. In fact my oldest removed some people from her friends list and fixed a couple of pictures I didnt quite agree with (they showed her full name and High School on them). <br/> <br/>After the show, I looked further into this whole investigation program that set up these freaks; honestly, I would be more than happy to sit here every chance I get and pretend Im a 13 yr old to catch these people. It just seems to be more productive than spending the time mindlessly wandering the net... right? <br/> <br/>So I go the the website and browse around..... looking at all the different posts of these goofs.... various chats they had with these supposid children.... and then I had to go there..... <br/> <br/>I look at the "convicted" list...... and there he was....... <br/> <br/>A friggen brick came completely out of my computer screen and hit me square between the eyes... I swear to God!..... I honestly cant recall anything more shocking to me in my entire life. I mean, there are pictures and actual chat dialogue!!! OMFG!!!!! <br/> <br/>Here's the story.... <br/> <br/>I "met" this guy on Yahell.... he was one of the first handfulls of people I had ever chatted with. He was so kind and sweet and apparently he had his life together.... a very good life at that. Yeah yeah... I know... you cant always believe what they say on the internet. But through the years he was able to verify everything. I saw pictures of his family.... talked to people on line from his real life and even checked out his employer's web page where his picture was..... damn it if he wasnt a prominent defense attorney in Ohio!!! There were even newspaper articles of cases he had worked on. So why in the hell would I not trust him?? <br/> <br/>Ok ok so I'll go one step further...... <br/>I was at the lowest point in my life. I was actually mentally making plans for my daughters to live with my mother so they wouldnt have to live on the streets with me. And what does he do? Pays my rent. Twice! Then...THEN... he calls me and says.... "Hey.... Im going to go to Vegas for a convention. You really need to get away... will you come if I pay your way?" Er uh uh uh..... I told him no.... I didnt want to have to sleep with him because of all these favors he had done for me. I am far from a whore!!! But he assured me that he wasnt thinking of that, he just wanted to get me away from my reality for awhile. Ok so Im not passing up a free trip to Vegas!!! <br/> <br/>He was an absolute gentleman.... we stayed at the Venetian.... he slept on the couch and I slept on the bed... NEVER did he make any type of advance toward me. And it was one of the best escapes I have ever had... just wonderful. <br/> <br/>So since then we've talked off and on. And he did call me awhile back mumbling something about Dateline and him being followed by the police. I kinda put it off as another one of his cases that was getting to thick or just him being whiney, ya know. OH NOOOOOO it just couldnt be something as simple as that!!! HELL NO!!!! <br/> <br/>So this leads me to now.... <br/> <br/>I sit here and I dont know if I want to be his friend and give him the benifit of the doubt.... but theres the dialogue and the pictures.....sigh. Maybe I ought to just forget him all together......Or do I call him and just scream "WHAT THE FUCK!???!?!" <br/>I want to throw up because this guy is... was..... is..... a friend (?)..... er something. Hes sick..... sick sick sick sick.... <br/>Damn..... <br/>And my daughters chatted with him!!! Oh thank God I was always there and it was always under my nickname!!! <br/> <br/>The other day I called him..... left a message and told him to call me back (he hasnt been sentenced yet and is out on OR) And, of course, he called me back. <br/>I just couldnt do it.... I couldnt tell him that I saw it all...... Partially because I want him to confess to me and partially because I may join that program.... <br/>Anyway, he talked about it a bit, but skirted the actual issues. He said he's going to appeal it but it cant be done until his sentencing... suddenly his words just became "blah blah blah". Yeah he talked about his daughter and how she may have met the man of her dreams and continued with some small idle chat.... and then he had to go.... thankfully.... with a promise to call me back. I was just sick when I hung up..... he talked about his daughter..... and her love.... and this..... all in one conversation!!! Ack. <br/>He called back..... twice.....and I ignored both calls..... I dont know what to say or do..... Im just sick...... <br/> <br/>And that is when reality bites the real world.... <br/> <br/>www.perverted-justice.com/ <br/> <br/>Yes..... yes hes nickname makes absolute sense to me now...... </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/paddedcell">!!!

<div>So, I can officially say, I suck at relationships. I just had what I thought was a really delightful, wonderful, intensely growth-positive relationship end on Thursday night. Seven months (which for me, is actually quite a long time), suddenly turned into a one-hour conversation, and a removal of significant jewelry. <br/> <br/>I can't decide if I want to hit him, or if I want to beg him to reconsider. I'm not sure if I want to cry, or if I just want to go on a week-long vacation, and say "Screw all my responsibilities--y'all can go to hell". I'm feeling weepy and self-destructive and angry and hurt and confused and uncertain, all at once. And yet, a part of me is thrilled that I got to experience it at all. <br/> <br/>Sigh.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/paddedcell">!!!

<div>Okay, I must confess...I hate bad spelling. Hate. It. I found myself growing increasingly irritated by it on Tribe today, and then I read a grant proposal for a coworker to help her fine tune her writing. Oh. My. God. There's just no excuse for it. On Tribe it can be trickier because there's no spell check feature. But, she did this on Word!!! Sheeeeit! I am not talking about little typos here and there, or misusing a word.

<div>First, Web invited me to join. So I'm here, we go back about 22 years my freshman and her sophomore year in HS. <br/>Thanks Web, I needed a rant today. <br/> <br/>So, I hate my family. I love my husband and son, but I can do without the rest. <br/>I go to visit my Mom, she invited me. My step Dad has a temper tantrum. He has one every time I visit. He doesn't do this with my brother, but lets not forget he is male!!!! <br/>My stepbrother in law is an ass but he still likes him, I like my stepsisters, and he never flips when they come around. <br/>I don't know what I have done. I think I am too me. I am confident and outgoing and &amp;lt;gasp>, I speak my mind. <br/>Every one sits there during his tantrum and doesn't say anything. Including myself. I didn't want to make it worse for my Mom. I didn't say anything this time because the tantrum was directed at my Mom and he would have yelled more at her. I really don't know what I do to piss him off. I have noticed the others sort of sink down and let him be king when he's around. They only respond to what he talks about and are not really themselves. I won't do this. <br/> <br/>Mt niece is here for a week, she is seven and my son is eight. They get along really well. I enjoy them together a lot. My step sister wrote me a note telling me if she doesn't behave to bring her back early, she goes on to say that she has a mind of her own and can't control it and is just too bossy. She also goes on to say she is stubborn and inflexible. My niece read this before I got there and now instead of being her normal bouncy self she is acting weird trying not to bug me. I keep telling her that I have NEVER had a problem with her and I love her exactly the way she is. She is terrified I will make her go back early, she is acting different. I am hoping to bring her back out of her shell and encourage her to be herself. Everyone keeps on her. I have found she only acts snotty or other things when she is not being heard or when she is being marginalized due to her adult’s selfish ways. She is also the oldest of three and is often left out or not paid as much attention. <br/> <br/>Stupid selfish grups!!!! I refuse to grow up. I will always play video games, watch cartoons, go to kids movies, enjoy Disneyland, dress up for Halloween, and play slug bug, tag, and so many other silly games. <br/> <br/>And when I forget, please remind me. <br/> <br/>Thanks for listening, I mean reading.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/paddedcell">!!!

<div>1. Women are from Earth. Men are from Earth. Fucking deal with it! <br/> <br/>2. I am getting tired of all the justification and rationalisation of everybody's personalities based on their astrological sign! I mean, come on people, Puh-leeease! As human beings/becomings we ALL contain vast myriads of aspects. Yeah...there's some legitimate perspective to be gained in astrology...that's just my opinion but others may not agree. We are ALL capable of being good people. AND assholes. AND insecure. AND hardheaded. AND emotional. AND arrogant. AND all the other things that humans can be. Get over it. Acknowledge the potentials you contain. By saying, Im this way because Im a Cappy, or Im that way because Im a Gemini or a Scorpio or a Leo or Whatthefuckever, we're minimising our own beauty. Fucking stop it. It's annoying. Let astrology be a tool that you use, but use your own brain and heart and guts too. Fucking let it go! <br/> <br/>Why are so many of us happily pidgeon-holing ourselves and each other in the name of some sort of half-assed imaginary superiority? Personally, I don't fit it a neat little box and I'll thank you to stop trying to jam me into one. <br/> <br/>GAH!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/paddedcell">!!!

<div>Take heart. I hear you saying, "God, not another rant about how cold summer is in SF." No, my gripe is with San Franciscans -- or other Northern Californians, for that matter -- who whinge whenever the fucking temp is above 70. <br/> <br/>Honestly. I don't have home internet (except when I can surf on the neighbor's wifi, which isn't always available) so I have to go to this neighborhood cafe of the library to get online. Well, while I was sitting there, this crazy-assed lady who couldn't or wouldn't take the time to figure out her laptop was not only taking it out on the staff because she couldn't get online (it wasn't their fault -- I had no problems) was bitching about OHMIGAWD how hot it was. I'm thinking, bitch, get a grip. Go spend a summer somewhere *other than* the west coast, then talk to me about hot. Yes, even Minnesota has hotter summers than San Francisco. <br/> <br/>I didn't say anything though, because she's nice to me. Of course, that may only be because I'm white -- which makes a nice segue into my rant about the Pac Heights/Marina area, but I'll save that for another time and thread.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/paddedcell">!!!

Unless an apology is tendered immediately (over the phone) you can expect zero cooperation from me. You guys need my help and Dawn continues to insult me -- NOT very smart. Sincerely, Dr. Robert F. McDermott" <br/> <br/>I wanted to reply, "Okay, Princess, start holding your breath." <br/> <br/>But instead, I declined response, laughed... and was honored to have triggered such a strong, emotional response. Luckily, I work with people who can laugh with me because they piss people off too :) :) :) <br/> <br/>It's enlightening to know how mature and wise our health care 'professionals' are NOT!

<div>I am so fucking tired of dealing with my exhusband. We have to deal with each other because of the kids. Generally, we still get along pretty well. But lately...everything turns into in argument. We are not agreeing on disciplinary actions. We are not agreeing on how to take care of the dog.

<div>Yesterday i went to see XMEN at 11am. It seems that i might have been the only woman in the room. When i looked (and it was full) i saw only men. I guess that was supposed to be a guy's movie but i love action movies!~I was sitting on one of the seat s where you have more leg room. At that time, there was PLENTY of open seats every where still. He sat one seat away from me...he started laughing out loud for no reason, stretched his hand accross the seat next to him, and ran his hand on the seat while staring at me like he was caressing the darn thing. I got up and went to seat to a further seat. The guy didn't stop staring at me until the lights went off and i just ignored him...What a freaking Jerk!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/paddedcell">!!!

<div>I'm struggling with myself. My exhusband is leaving today to go to a luxury resort/spa in Arizona with his new rich girlfriend. I live in an apt., I work in social work and healing, I work hard on my spirituality, and the ego part of me wants payoff for that. My ex has the house that we got together, paid cash for a new car and motorcycle and now is leaving for a luxury resort. I've already cried about this..this morning. I know I chose these struggles to grow spiritually, and hopefully someday/somewhere, I'll receive the fruits of my labors. But right now, in all my humanness..I am envious as fucking hell!!! I just am. And then I get on myself about this and feel disgusted that I would even complain, for I know I have so much more than others. But it's tough you guys, to watch him get all this...and I'm struggling to pay my bills. I don't understand, why some who don't dedicate themselves to healing themselves and the planet still get so much, while others who constantly give of themselves get so little. I'm already attacking myself, so please to tell me to be "above" this. I know I'm in my ego...</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/paddedcell">!!!

<div>ok so here it goes.. something like this <br/>why is it.. some "men' sorry guys.. but I am after all a Goddess.. and as a Woman.. this experience has come from men.. * yes prob some unprocessed men at some level* none the less. WHY the Fu........ do some people.. who profess to be enlightened. to be open to be deep to be knowing their stuff.. to be present to you to be honest.. to be sharing from their core.. to encourage you to bare it all .. to share .. press against your edges.. * by the way this is not a bad thing.. pressing those edges LOL *... <br/>but whats up with those that "think they know you better than you do">? whats up with those that think they are gonna play ' spiritual shrink with you' when you never frigging asked them nor had the conversation to agree upon a mutual exchange of .. healing between you ? <br/>that soo pisses me off.. and more so when I have watched Myself.. suddenly play small .. as IF.. what I KNOW is NOT ENOUGH.. well Fuck that .. Excuse me here.. <br/>I am soo appreciative of the mirror of the gift of another who thru their actions I get to see deeper within me.. <br/>at the same time.. ya know what. Fuck all that shit ! dont come into my Home.. literally and figuratively .. and sit there high and mighty .. pushingyour shit on me.. your ' whats that where are you .. go deeper shit' when YOU .. wont show you .. or share you on the same deep level.. Own up to your own shit.. and then sit with me. open .. naked and vulnerable.. revealing all the shit that you have. for we have it all.. how dare you .. sneak out .. and run over another.. as IF you knew it all. feeling so deeply? you say? HA .. IF that was true.. would You or anyone.. be so harsh.. and punishing.....I say Look in the mirror.. and laugh with yourself.. be willing to embrace your shit as well. and ASK .. for the permission to be in that healing space with another.. when diving deep into the well of gunk we may all have.. for a safe place is best created when one is just as naked and vulnerable.. open hearts legs and arms.. open.. to it all.. <br/>damn.. that still pisses me off.. I feel like I got run over by a truck..

<div>Hubby's getting into a nursing program this fall, and has to quit his job. I am a receptionist, kinda medium wage, (actually it's a pretty good wage for a receptionist) but I love my job and the office I work at. Been there two years, and l love the people I work with. <br/> <br/>Hubby has our insurance through his job, and now that he's going to quit, I will have to get insurance through mine. This will effectively cut my wage in half. He's telling me I might have to get a different job because of this. He's looking at $, I'm looking at my emotions. <br/> <br/>I'm afraid. I really REALLY don't want to quit. He's going into nursing school because he isn't making enough money as a law clerk. He's also been at that same job for 16 years. He will be in school for two years, so this is the longest I'll be at the low wage. I guess this isn't a rant, this is a real problem and I'm asking for ideas. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/paddedcell">!!! The Padded Cell !!!</a> - 7 replies </div>

<div>As my little Finnish grandmother used to say, "Sonnnnnovabitch!" <br/> <br/>I was typing last night, putting a story I'd written on disk. I'd already had half of it done, and was kind of hurrying because I'd promised to send it to someone. I finally got it done, while battling a sinus headache and a teenage son who was asking what it was about (erotica). I get ready to copy it to disk, when the program asks if I want to go back to the previously saved story, which was part 1. I said yes, and it goes back, then I realized part 2 went POOF! Couldn't find the damn thing anywhere. <br/> <br/>SO, I have to re-do the whole freaking second half again. Fuck.

I understand that some parents can't afford vehicles large enough to seat there children properly,but with childhood obesity on the rise, walking is a good way of getting around.

<div>I want to know one single thing. One very simple thing. Why (WHY?!) does it take a month a damned half for a huge, international supply company to create a stamp? <br/> <br/>They told us it would be done in less than a week. We all thought, "Hot damn, if they can pull that off, we'll be set forever!" A party ensued. Well, not really, but we had a festive atmosphere around here for a while. <br/> <br/>Until that week came, and then went, with no stamp. Then another week. And a third. <br/> <br/>I just talked to the company today, and you know, the stamp is finally done, but now the shipping company is holding it for ten inexplicable days! What the hell is wrong with these people? It's just a stamp! I could have had this done (if, yes, I'll admit it, if I'd thought of doing it this way) by the shop down the street, which is about 25% more expensive, for a real time frame of a week, rather than these extended promises. <br/> <br/>Grr! Now my boss thinks I'm a flake, which sucks, because it's a new job. <br/> <br/>Stupid international office supply companies. What, do they have too much structured organization or something?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/paddedcell">!!! The Padded Cell !!!</a> - 6 replies </div>

<div>These are men that think and tell everyone that they are 100% heterosexual when they are bisexual and how they get their dick sucked by another guy, not for pay but because they are horny, emotionally attracted to men, like to get sexual with men, or whatever and then they say that they're straight when it's like, ummm you had sex with a guy and not a woman. <br/> <br/>The whole "I was drunk" excuse doesn't fly either. I've been pretty drunk in my life but not so drunk that i had no idea what the gender of the person I was kissing/having sex with was. I've even gotten blown by men drunk and 100% sober but never once did I imagine that it was a woman doing it to me or I never claimed to be 100% heterosexual either since I did that. <br/> <br/>A friend showed me a craigslist ad the other day where this guy who said he was straight went to a cruising spot at a porn store and ended up blowing 3 men in a day while watching pre op MTF porn, and then after all of that he claimed to be 100% heterosexual. <br/> <br/>sorry, it just kinda bugs me when I see guys I know have sex with other men and then claim to be 100% straight because they are married or are more sexually/emotionally attracted to women. Or this one guy I know he is deffinatley closeted and he'll say snide comments to me about liking men in front of other people we know and then as soon as we're alone he'll suggest that we masturbate together. I could really chew him up the next time he says crass comments to me when we're around others but the only way I'd do that would be if he got me REALLY angry and it got to the point where I said fuck it, our friendship isn't worth it anymore. <br/> <br/>It also bugs me how they seem to gravitate towards me and I'm not even that open/out about being bisexual as I just see it as a small aspect of who I am, not a defining factor. Sometimes it seems like I have a tattoo on my forehead that says 'FREE THERAPY'. I have no qualms about talking to friends about their problems; but I'm sick and tired of giving out advice and not having people follow it. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/paddedcell">!!!

<div>in all the years I have been on Tribe net... Today... is the first time I had to make the decission to delete someone.... <br/> <br/>perhaps it was their culture.... the differences too vast, and I DON'T understand that kind of pushiness, and demanding behavior.... <br/> <br/>he didnt even introduce himself, he just messaged me saying "HONEY show me more of your tattoos" and be my friend.... <br/> <br/>I messaged back Deny, with a message that said... First of all I am in control here and you will not demand to see my tattoos and call me "honey" I dont know you and you are rude and pushy... <br/> <br/>he ma\essaged back saying he was sorry and could we be friends.... <br/> <br/>Geesh! so I said Yes..... Momentary laspe of reason, I am sure.... <br/> <br/>so... then he writes and says, Now we are friends Write a Testimonial fo rme... <br/> <br/>I wrote him back and said Testimonials are for "friends" that we know and have something to say about them..... <br/> <br/>and I told him I could not undertsnad his demanding ways and deleted him from my friends list.... <br/> <br/>My Rant..... WHY are some people Soooooo very needy and demanding and pushy to the point of rudeness..... even when you have asked them to back off some and give you breathing space..... <br/> <br/>and IF I had wanted to put a pic of myself nude showing my tattoo I would have.... certainly I am NOT going to share THAT with some guy I dont know, havent met nor care to... <br/> <br/>Ahhhh!!

<div>I had to take a break from the "psychics and empaths" tribe...some woman was wondering about meditation and vibration...I told her what I know and was accused of being a "babbler"...by some man who wants to convince her that Quabbalah is the only path to truth... <br/> <br/>oh..this stuff gets to me. I do not like people who try to push religion on others...especially while insulting other people. Seems to be the biggest sign of something "off" but this woman went straight for it.

<div>My friend Jeremiah turned me on to this tribe...this is great! Great place to let loose. I vented on my blog yesterday, about the bullshit I have to put up with on my job. I was so angry yesterday I was near tears, and I was so frustrated that it even had to occur at all. It was just so stupid. I'll add my vent here so as not to repeat myself. Thanks for the opportunity to vent... <br/> <br/>I went to pick up my DD client today, the door was locked, I knocked, then went to <br/>to go sit in my car and wait a bit. Perhaps they were on a walk or something. I waited about 10 minutes, then decided to leave. I'm not going to wait forever. Sometimes they leave without telling me they'll be gone all day. I tried to call the lead staff, but then realized he was on vacation. I then left to work with another client. I decided I better call my first clients house and leave a message, letting them know that I came by. The phone rang and a staff person answered. I said "Oh!..You're there!" He said yeah he was. I told him I came by, knocked ect. He then proceeded to argue with me, saying that I did NOT knock. That he unlocked the door and watched me sitting in my car!!! Why he didn't open the door and let me know they were there is beyond me. He just sat and watched me apparently. He also said the blinds were open....what this has to do with anything, I don't know. Apparent'y he feels that I should have peered into the window to see that he was there. He just kept arguing with me..and I even asked why he was yelling me and he then yelled and said he wasn't yelling. There was no need for him to btich me out. The fact is..he saw me waiting in my car...I wouldn't wait in my car if I knew my client was inside the house! This staff person does not like me, and I swear, I do not know why. I've not done a thing to him. I dread going to this client's house because of the staff there. I called his boss, my boss, saying I've had it, for this is by no means the first incident I've had at that house. This shit is so petty, but it starts to add up when it happens frequently. I just keep thinking.."why was he so rude to me?" There truly was no need for it. None at all. I just don't understand it.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/paddedcell">!!!

<div>This "in-advance" rant is about parking in the City .. <br/> <br/>As most of you know, my preference is taking Bart, and then traveling via yellow cab when in the City ... <br/> <br/>Well, Sweetie and I are coming up to SF this afternoon to visit my friend Mike Newman, and then off to an early dinner, and then off to the Citadel for an SOJ orientation .. (sweetie is a newbie) ... Since it's both of us, we will be driving .... And with her, we always have to be no more than half a block from a parking space.... <br/> <br/>Carla has this method of "visualizing a parking space" .. well this afternoon and evening will be the acid test to confirm the theory of manifestation ... Hey, when I really let go and get into that mode, it has worked for me ... somehow I'm not that convinced it will work for parking spaces in San Francisco .. <br/> <br/>AAAARRRrrrrggghh!!.. <br/> <br/>Elaine ... </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/paddedcell">!!!

<div>Ok, I have a rant.... and xanax isn't gonna do it for me.... <br/> <br/>I have a son, going to be 30 in 11 days..... and If/when I tell him NO for whatever reason, he has a temper fit like a 3 year old would.... <br/> <br/>then says mean, rude, hateful, hurtful things..... He is VERY disrespectful and inconsiderate ... <br/> <br/>I have allowed his behavior to cause me to feel guilty and angry... and I have taken enough from him <br/> <br/>todays incident, only one of several hundreds over the years is that I told him I may not make it to the grandkids school tomorrow to "volunteer" to help out with the jogathon because I have a sore throat and not feeling well.... <br/> <br/>well, that made him all pissy because now he has to find someone to fill my place <br/> <br/>when he called I happened to be at the bookstore buying my favorite Ice Chai drink to soothe my sore throat, after my visit to my doctors office, he thought that since I was well enough to go to the bookstore I should be well enough to volunteer for the jogathon. <br/> <br/>and proceeded to tell me that he hoped I found a nice comfortable chair to relax in... in a very nasty condescending tone... <br/> <br/>there was more to it... but overall it was a grown MAN having a fit because his mama wouldnt come help out at the school... and decided to ream me for it..... <br/> <br/>I am REALLY Pissed that my children (my son in particular) can be so inconsiderate, I didn't raise them that way.... and I am tired of putting up with it just to keep the peace so I can see my grandchildren... <br/> <br/>there are times I really dislike him.... that's a very sad place for a parent to be.... <br/> <br/>a sick &amp; tired <br/>Bare <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/paddedcell">!!!

<div>Goddammit! <br/> <br/>*stamps her foot a few times* <br/> <br/>What is it with some people? A few months back I read on one of my boards a post by a guy who was getting over the death of his father. I wrote him just because I was in the same position and know it's good to be able to communicate with someone going through the same thing. <br/>Well....he demanded a photo, which I thought was odd but he sent his so I sent one back with the next e-mail. I got a reply that accused me of being a golddigger, after his money (which he doesn't have) and just plain reamed me. Being me, I wrote back telling him that was so unture, didn't want anything from him, was just reaching out to another human being...yadda, yadda, thinking that this guy must have been hurt pretty badly and maybe he needed to know there are decent people in the world. <br/> <br/>So...he apologizes and we start communicating. I actually have to now convince him I'm not interested in a relationship with him...just wanted to be friends...and it goes along, he's supposed to be doing spiritual growth so I offer what I know, suggest a workbook, get him to calm down a bit and look at things from a less negative perspective. <br/> <br/>Well...he writes a couple of days ago updating me on what's going on in his life...my god it's a mess. I offer sympathy and encouragement. And I update him on my life....the man I just met and about my girl. OMFG! He went off on me! He called me all the names under the sun, accused me of gold digging (because I mentioned the guy was flying up for the weekend), of being a complete fake because the guy is a Dom (er ..always said I was a switch), and has jumped all over the place with one wrong conclusion after another. Man, how do people get so frickin messed up? <br/> <br/>He approaches every woman as if she's going to be his saviour and when she pushes him away because of his clinginess and messed up ideas he accuses her of being a gold digger. He says all women think about is money but that is his focus. He measures himself by his financial worth and uses that to blame his lack of female companionship.....sheesh! I am under no illusion that the only reason he has no female companion is because he's a really messed up individual. <br/> <br/>ARGHH!!!!!! <br/> <br/>Ok....I feel better.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/paddedcell">!!!

<div>We all hold them. We all are precious about them, to one degree or another. <br/> <br/>Some of us can be opinionated, even. I think most of us enjoy a good argument or debate... but some people want to fight so badly that they post the same opinion, over and over, until other people unsub or take the bait. That happened to me recently (that is, I was the bait-taker) and wound up falling out with not one, but two friends because of it. <br/> <br/>I like to debate. I don't like feeling provoked, and I like it even less when the provoker acts like s/he did nothing wrong. <br/> <br/>Or am I being too sensitive?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/paddedcell">!!!
