Sorry for misreading your post (something I do with regularity). :(

I stayed home and watched the memorial shows last night and would not have wanted to have an outside commitment. I wouldn't leave a sick child either.

Soooo, did the principal call?

Wcv, I am betting that if the principal is really going to call every parent that doesn't attend, he'll be making calls through next Thursday. Schools seem to be doing some ridiculous things nowadays that they just expect everyone to go along with. People in my town are writing in to the paper to complain that their children received a note at home stating they would not be permitted to use the restrooms under any circumstances except between classes and at lunch. I've been out of the school system since I graduated in '93, but correct me if I'm wrong... don't we females have certain *cough* pressing needs that we must attend to once a month? I thought this was crazy.

I'd like to complain about dropping my remote, so now I actually have to stand up to change channels on the TV next to my desk!

After reading the complaints about schools, I need to complain about my chiropractor bills, back packs, and school supplies. Whatever happened to carrying 1 binder with some paper, 1 spiral notebook, a couple pencils and a pen???? Now the kids even get GRADES for bringing supplies! The lists they send home these days are ridiculus!! You have to buy everything from crayons to kleenex! Does this sound like a sore point with me? LOL My blood pressure rises everytime I think about it. Thank heavens that out of three kids I've only got one left in school with 2 years to go! Yippee!!! Now if only her $95.00 calculator that her geometry teacher suggested she have lasts that long I may be a happy camper.
Ok rant over and I feel better.

secret, how awful!!! ;>)
that reminds me of another 'complaint'!
remember last year when will was talking with the survivors that they brought to the house? and one of them talked about having cuts on their legs and feet and being in the salt water in the ocean...and will said something like, "talk about painful: i had a blister on my little toe once, and i had to move from the pool to the hot tub." LOL

and even more painful? i have to move from my desk chair to the treadmill now!! eeeek!

HEHE, I love this thread, I get to rant over non-stuff and nobody cares!:)

awwwww we care Secret...but we don't care that you rant so let it rip :)

Now for the reason I came here. (And why I will NOT let this thread die again LOLOL). I have just spent a good 20 min browsing the boards and I didn't have one thing to add to any thread. I found I really, truly didn't care about any of the topics aka stuff going on in the house. HOW SAD!

That has yet to happen in any BB, regardless of how bored or annoyed I got at the HG. I don't think my feeds have been up for more than 20 min at a time, half of that muted.

I WANT TO FEED MY BB ADDICTION! The boredom from these HG's and this game is doing me in. I am SOOO not happy about this :(

I want to complain about posters who don't approve of a thread, and then post their feelings in that thread. That just bumps it back up so that more people will read it. If they really don't like the subject of the thread, then why post?

Sorry. It just seems that some posters forget that people are entitled to express their opinions.

Please don't flame me....I have a delicate ego!

.... why are they locked in the house so much??? It is boring enough without having them locked in - no pool, hamock talk... no where to be out of ear shot and it is dreary not seeing them outside.

By the looks of it, from the shots on the LF's, they are setting stuff up for the competition outside so they won't be out today either!!! That will be allmost 3 days of being mostly inside!

Kross...only one saving grace. They're no more interesting outside than they are inside hehe :)

Well I am happy to report that so far I have not been contacted by the principal. However, I have a feeling that I will be contacting the school in the near future. I was informed via the "uniform code" form that was sent home that the ONLY approved winter weather wear is the approved and logo-ed hooded sweatshirt available at uniform shops for only 45.00. Wearing a coat is not allowed. Sorry. But my child WILL wear a coat if I deem it to be coat weather. Humph. They are awfully persnickety for a public school.

What's up with the foth music playing during feeds? I can't hear a blasted thing they are saying. GRRRRRRR! This is our last chance to hear any scheming!

Wcv, stick to your guns sweetie! Why would they want the students to have less than adequate protection from the cold weather, to and from school especially? Do they explain the 'reasoning' behind such a rigid dress code? Any other parents have similar situations? Just curious since I don't have this to deal with thankfully!

(And if ya feel in a mood, just tell that principal to put his objections in your 'Permanent Record' :)!)

Now they are playing the FOH music in the house for the HGs and we have to endure that...HAHAHA they just said it's been playing an hour and it's driving them NUTZ!!!! What do you think your doing to us when you sing and make us listen it!!!!! They should play it to you for like 10 hours a day until the end of the show to make up for what you have done to us :)

This is HYSTERICAL how much they're complaining about the music!! It's doing to them what it does to us-- makes them cranky, irritable, and they don't talk a whole lot except about how they hate it.

I want to complain about the fact that my dog has been sleeping under my computer table and has dropped fleas all over. Now my feet are all flea bitten. They must have juge teeth, they even bite through my sox. Should I spray to get rid of the fleas (and risk poisoning myself) or quit working this board?

WCV - I am right there with you. My daughter's public elementary school started with uniforms a couple of years ago. My decision is that when they lower my school taxes (which here in TX are huge) or give me money for a whole new wardrobe for her I will send her in uniforms. She is in 3rd grade and loves being one of the few that don't wear uniforms. I am not going to buy one set of clothes for school and another for play and church. Huh uh, ain't gonna happen.

I am complaining about how hot it still is in Sept. and the d*** mosquitos. I'm afraid to go outside without covering myself with bug repellent. Not only do we now have West Nile but there have been a couple of cases of malaria. I hope a good hard freeze comes this winter to kill the little suckers. I'm ready for one cold night now to stop them from multiplying.

I'd like to complain about posters who are "posting an opinion" but, in my opinion, seem to just want to bash the houseguests. Is it really necessary to start a bazillion threads bashing the same person?

I'd also like to complain that the live show will already be started before I get home tonight to read the spoilers from the easties, and that means I'll be reading furiously trying to catch up so I *can* be totally spoiled before the "not live" show comes on out here!

I would like to politely inquire about who turned up the File Lock sensitivity tonight?
Yes, I know it's because the board is so busy and only going to get worse before the night is over!
For anyone experiencing this unusual blessing ahem, choked a little, sorry here's how I deal with it:

When the file-lock screen comes on, I wait the 5 seconds and hit the 'Reload' button. When prompted to 'Repost form data' I click on OK.

Using this method, I haven't experienced any loss of text or double postings so far.

FWIW

Draheid, you know its not polite (or good luck) to say the F.L. words. Go wash your mouth out. (I have changed my mouth wash of choice to Mike's Cranberry Hard Lemonaide.)
