What the hell, UPS guy? Clearly my address is 1340, not 1320, so now I have this other guy's Amazon delivery and I assume he has my LL Bean socks I ordered. Get your shit together, man.

Probably not that this is gonna make a hill of beans, but if anyone here has an elderly loved one in their life that wants to spend time with you, DO IT. Don't make excuses, don't skip out on making some calls, just do everything you can to be a part of their twilight years. They'll appreciate it in ways you won't understand until they are gone.
I am sorry for this incredibly downer post, but I lost my last grandparent this past week. My grandfather, a wonderful man who lived 87 full and happy years, said goodbye to this world and is hopefully looking over us now. I haven't been dealing with this so well. I have some regrets, but we were able to do quite a lot with him the past few years. I just wish it had been more. Spend time with those who want you around. I say that because my grandfather reached out to everyone in his life toward the end and had much to share. Important things like family and friends, talking, and asking about someone else's life and wanting to listen. He had respect for people and would tell you why you mattered in this world. He lifted us up as a family. He believed in community and faith and hard work and sacrifice. He loved sharing a meal and a cup of coffee, things that seem lost in this modern day of "busy."
I wanted to pass his message on to my inforoo family. He was such a brave man. I'm devastated by this loss, but one day at a time.

Oh Kate, I am so very sorry. This sounds so much like me last year, this very same time last year, when my grandfather passed away. This past week has been a sad one, remembering back to last year, remembering back over the past 30+ years. I was blessed to have such wonderful role models of grandparents in my life, and it sounds like you experienced the same. Hang in there & know we are here for you.

Typical wannaberoo'ing. Is in mourning but actually posts uplifting words of advice for others.
I am so sorry you are in pain - you're right, one day at a time. What a wonderful set of memories you have of him going forward, it sounds like he will be missed incredibly. I will be calling my grandma tonight and see if she can hang out with us this weekend.

Thank you so much! That's like the best thing I could possibly hear today, especially the last part
Fuck cancer. My dad just called to let me know my aunt passed away an hour ago. A strong, wonderful woman gone way too soon. A loving lady who will never know her grandchildren. I am so sad.

So sorry to hear this. Cancer is a total f*cking devil.

We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

Very sorry to hear this, and very sorry this has been such a trying year already for you.
came in to post about my stupid floors (they were just finished yesterday, after the downstairs flooded a MONTH ago, and there was a leak from where they re-connected the toilet, so now they have to be ripped up, the house dehumidified, and replaced, all while we are in the middle of a snowstorm and will be stuck in the house for a few days).
as frustrating as that situation is though, reading of some of your losses helps put it back in perspective. it's just a temporary inconvenience, and it's just floors. wannaberoo'ing, I am sorry for your loss, it sounds like you had a special bond with your grandfather and I know that's tough. but I'm glad you were able to spend that time with him and can carry memories of him in your heart. custeph, so sorry about your aunt. I agree, fuck cancer. I hope your family is able to find some peace in dealing with your loss.

wannaberoo'ing & custeph, I'm so sorry to see two of the absolute sweetest people dealing with such enormous loss. Please know we are here for you, and wishing you comfort and strength. I'm sure your relatives played a role in making you both such wonderful people, and for that we owe them a moment of gratitude, a kind thought, or a prayer.

o'neil, you can grrrrrr all you like about your floors, home remodeling/construction is what we do for a living, I can completely understand. A toilet leak is such a common problem/mistake. I hope the contractors do right by you in some capacity and you get your new beautiful floors here soon!
I hate that I've been in here way too often lately. I know things will be better. In a way they already have, because I have you guys.
They will indeed We've got one hell of a party happening in less than three months. I printed out a calender and pinned it up at my desk with Shaky Knees in BIG LETTERS just to keep a reminder when school gets overwhelming.

I only know y'all on here, but custeph and wannaberoo'ing I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of your aunt and grandfather. My condolences to you and your families. What wannaberoo'ing said is so true, take it to heart. I have so many regrets about a very dark, selfish time in my life. A time that saw the passing of my 3 remaining grandparents during the same summer. Around that time, I wish I would have been the granddaughter that they knew and loved, to visit with them, talk and laugh over coffee and a piece of Grandma's rhubarb pie. Ugh...... But, I've forgiven myself and I know if I could talk with them, I know they have forgiven me too. It's so important to tell our families and friends how much they mean to us. Never let the opportunity pass to show your gratitude and love.

i too am deeply sorry for all your grief and sorrow. loss is a terrible experience, the grieving cycle takes time. loss also opens your eyes and heart in ways that nothing else can. it makes my problem feel so minute, however, i'm still going to vent... fuck the very rare occasions when my husband and i have anger and frustration between us, he can be really narrow and rigid about seeing my perspective. it feels uncomfortable i get angry (which is super unusual) when i feel certain that the reason for our discourse is valid on my end. i am so flexible, i don't need a solution or for things to change. i just need to be heard. fucking stupid shit. what a waste of time to be like this.

I am sorry, ericha. I so know what you are talking about, and how it can make you feel. Hang in there & know that you can vent to us anytime.
Fuck, fuck and double fuck. I just spent hours today (during a day home due to a fucking ICE STORM in Wilmington NC), informing the people that I supervise that we are going to have to re-apply for our jobs which will be open to the public. I am a state employee and they have decided to move us from the Department of Health and Human services to a branch of the university system effective July 1st. No idea what happens with pay, benefits, seniority, longevity! They are sure that there will be fewer positions than we have now. I am so frustrated I could scream. I don't know what happens with Bonnaroo since if I get the job it will be a few weeks before the new job starts.
I am so sick and tired of this shit, I've been working in this field for 25 years and nobody else seems to give a fuck.
For over 6 months, my car had mechanical issues. It was to the point where the check engine light was a constant, the tags were expired, and mechanics had no idea what was wrong with it. On January 25th, I finally trading the car in for a 2012 Town & Country van. This past Tuesday night, the check engine light came on. It stayed on throughout the day yesterday. I took it in to CarMax (where I purchased it) for service this morning. At 1 I called for a status report and they tell me it has a couple codes they need clarification on, so they sent it to the Chrysler dealership. I told them I needed a vehicle, so they said to come by and get a loaner. A coworker gave me a ride on my lunch break and I got my loaner car. Almost an hour ago, they called and said the loaner car they gave me is scheduled to be transferred to another facility today. To make it "easier" on me, they said they'd send someone with my new loaner to pick up this one. No one has shown up yet. I'm supposed to leave work in 30 minutes. I'm seriously going to lose my shit over here.
