Well, my rant can't even compare with the above, but I can still vent.

The boss' delinquent daughter is here today! She's learning how to use the computer system and the gossip is flying. Of course, the boss isn't here. You don't think he wants to deal with 20 irate women, do you?

I just sit in my office and let everyone come to me and grumble. I get all sides. Pretty soon, my door will be shut, I'll put my headphones on and go to la la land.

Sorry to laugh so hard in the Grouch thread, but that rant Sas posted is the best! Picture Basil Fawlty spewing that at someone. The British sure have the most masterful use of the English language.

So I break down and do what I never thought I'd do, which is buy some damn bridal magazines. Because I have no clue what I'm doing, and I need some tips and I don't know what I want in a gown, and I wanted some ideas, and I don't want to procrastinate because I've seen wedding planning spoil alot of engagements, yaddayaddablingbling. And Colossus thinks its cute, because I'm embarrassed to have them, and he wants to look at them too. So I look through the freaking things, and who knew they don't design wedding gowns for 40-year-olds (at least they don't advertise them), and who knew the tips they give only involve budgets for around $100,000 and over, and who knew on top of planning the wedding, reception, rehearsal dinner and preparing for various and sundry showers I also need to plan a bridesmaids party complete with full-day makeovers at a spa, and who knew bridal magazines don't offer advice on anything except how to spend the most money for the least value, and who knew I'm not doing it right if I don't get married on a windswept cliff in the Scottish Highlands after paying for all transportation and housing for my 500 guests, and what a surprise it was to find out that the size of my future groom's schlongle is in question because he honored my request for a simple, emerald-cut diamond which suits my small hand instead of putting a temporary-blindness-inducing hockey rink on it, and hey get this, who would have guessed that the bridal magazines advertise alot of corsetted undergarments. So I feel bad because Colossus is having a much better time playing with my otherwise useless bridal magazines than I am, and Colossus feels bad because he wanted to put a doorknob on my hand and he thinks everyone will now look immediately look quizically from my hand to his package whenever they see my ring (at which point I will direct them to his shoes). Ain't love grand?

PS my ring is PERFECT!!

Well, I want to grouch that I never got a "bridesmaids party complete with full-day makeovers at a spa", for all the times I was a bridesmaid. That might have taken some of the sting out of the fugly dresses that I paid way to much money for and had to wear in public.

GAL, go get the Martha Stewart wedding magazines or her book on weddings.

I'm being a huge grouch today mainly because I'm a spoiled brat and I don't care. My best neighbor, is getting a new kitchen and I've wanted a redo since we bought this house. We had to buy a new stove this week and I didn't even want a new stove in my old cruddy kitchen.

I am being a big baby, watching all the construction next door and am fighting throwing a tantrum by starting to tear down some of the ole tiles.

OK, this thread works, I'm laughing at myself for being such a brat. LOL!

What GAL didn't realize (while I was admiring the underthings in those useless mags) is that I WAS projecting the two of US into a few of the honeymoon ideas I've already been tossing around in my head. And her in those dainty items isn't required, cause I love her nakied, most of all.! But they sure do play into my ideas of how to dress for dinner. (wink wink)

Alright grouchy people.!

GAL & I are going to have to endure a week in Cancun next month with no F----n moonlight. It'll be out of phase at the time we are there and we'll have to spend all those nights on the beach and on the balcony facing the ocean with no light, except the stinkin stars. Man that really turns my crank.!

Colossus, I feel for you. They sucker you in with those brochures and then this. I suppose next they'll be saying they can't promise sunshine every day you're there. I'd cancel the honeymoon if I were you and bring the whole moonlight thing up if they dig in their heels about a refund.

I am grouchy,p****d off at my six year old. I don't understand why the boy cannot behave himself at school. This is the third call from the damn asst. principal in three weeks. When he gets home,he's going straight to his room,I don't even want to look at him!
