We contacted the guy who put the trail signs up and told him, TAKE THEM DOWN.

He did but whined about it before agreeing to do so. Then, when the dumb ass came to take the signs down he had the gall to yell at my dogs for barking at him. Here’s your sign asshole–you’re trespassing!

To try to make sure that no one gets confused and comes across our land we are going to put up snow fence across the area where they had the trail. the trail is probably 2-3 blocks away from our land now but knowing that people are idiots and creatures of habit with no respect, I want to try to block them from coming across my land should they decide to come this way anyway.

This whole thing is just so ridiculous to me. I do not understand why someone would think it was ok to just plop a snow mobile trail on someone else’s land anyway without even asking. Maybe they have always had it there but it should be pretty obvious that the property has changed hands seeing that no one has lived here for 9 years and now there are dogs and cars here DUH. Turns out that we know the guy who put up the trail signs and my husband was polite to him and told him we don’t want the trail on our land but he’s not going to get off that lucky. I don’t care if it’s 6 months from now when I see the guy, I’m going to chew him a new asshole!

As the saying goes, you know what assuming does………

I just got home–I’ve been gone maybe 4 hours if that long–to find that there is a snow mobile trail ON MY LAND.

HELL NO, absolutely not fucking happening! It’s right next to my dogs. That’s all I need! Drunken snow mobilers!

NO FUCKING WAY! I don’t know who put the trail signs up but I know who will be taking them down first thing tomorrow and I will be calling local law enforcement. HELL NO!

I don’t think so and I’ll explain why.

When I was a kid I had 2 friends that would have to get something either the same or like what I had. As a spoiled a child, I generally got the newest things first and my friends would then have to have them too. It always bothered me when this happened, I never understood why they had to copy me. Why it wasn’t good enough that I had whatever it was I don’t know but it was an annoyance.

Now let’s fast forward to adulthood where, as the word ADULThood implies, adults aren’t suppose to have the childish need to copy others. Once again, my mother-in-law missed this memo.

She is awful about copying to the point that she named her daughter the same name–first and middle–as her cousin’s daughter. This is not flattery, it is just another demonstration of how sad and immature my mother-in-law is. Even now, at age 64 she continues to copy what others have. Believe me, I am not exaggerating this at all.

One of the things she does is at Christmas……..she will drag you around her house showing you all of the new things she has gotten and it goes something like this. See my doll, I got TT one of these for Christmas. See my wall hanging, I got one of those for HTT for Christmas. See my shirt, I got one of these for my sister for Christmas and on and on and one. Anything she gets for me, she also gets one for herself. She is not content to give you whatever it is, she has to have one too. Also, anything that one of use may like, she then has to collect too in order to copy us. For example, I like hummingbirds so all of a sudden she has a bunch of hummingbird stuff. HTT likes southwestern things and Indian dolls so the mother-in-law now has a load of that type of thing. TT likes cows so can you guess that she has to have a bunch of cow stuff too. And don’t think it’s just small things she does this with–it’s not, there’s more yet. I have always had a house dog and so has her daughter so she had to get a house dog too. I have house cats, she had to get a house cat too. Her daughter has a 4 wheeler, she got one too. Her son got a new pickup, she got one too. It’s rampant!

I have Direct TV and so does she. When we moved, I got the DVR. I have given my husband explicit instructions not to tell his mother we have DVR because I know that she will have to have it too and I don’t want to have to be on the phone with her hours a day telling her how to work it. I would dearly love to have a gazebo outside but even if I could afford one, I wouldn’t get it because I KNOW that within a week, she’d have one too. It’s gotten that bad. I don’t tell her anything I might buy and rarely let her come to my house because I know she’ll copy anything I have.

It’s what she does. It’s just to sad.

There are times when I see something at someone’s house that I would like, I’m sure we all do and we may get one because it’s a nice thing but to go to such excesses is just so childish and so immature. I mean really–to go so far as to name your child the same name as someone else’s………OH MY GOD. Sometimes I think that I should start going to a psychiatrist so she’d copy me and go too–god knows she needs it!

Well, I made it (barely) through thanksgiving with my husband’s family.

His mother was of course annoying as hell. She has a new habit and after about the 15th time of her doing this, I tried to curtail it but of course she’s clueless.

Her youngest grandson (the one she basically raises and supports) was there and she kept picking him up and saying over and over and over to him I love you, I love you, I love you. It was incessant and annoying not to mention immature and stupid. He’s one, he doesn’t know what the fuck she’s saying.

Anyway, after about the 5th time she did this, I look at my husband and said your mother loves you and it just happened to be that I said this at the same time she told the baby he was beautiful. So I said to my husband AND she thinks you’re beautiful. She really didn’t get it though my SIL (sister-in-law) did and tried hard not to giggle aloud.

Later on, she was holding the baby and started it over again saying to him I love you, you’re my baby so I said I said to my SIL, your mother loves you (she is the baby of the family). My mother-in-law says to me, you asshole, I was talking to the baby. I said I know–she’s your baby, he is HER baby. CLUELESS!!!!!

Beyond that, I jut ignore the selfish bitch as she kept saying to all of us see my new nativity set, see my new cabinet, see my new this, see my new that. UGH

Some asshole friend of mine (and the webmaster) failed to tell me YESTERDAY that YESTERDAY was the 1 year anniversary of my bitch page.

HAPPY BELATED ANNIVERSARY TO ME!

Yesterday (Sunday) I wrote a check that I knew I didn’t have enough money in the bank to cover–no big deal, I had my paycheck in my wallet to deposit. I took my paycheck to the night deposit right after I wrote the check. I obsessively watch my bank balance online and I am especially paranoid on the rare occasion I make a night deposit that it will not get counted. This morning I checked my banking online at about 10 and the deposit I made wasn’t showing yet. Normally deposits show as soon as they are made. I have checked as early as 10 minutes after making a deposit at the drive up window and seen the deposit on the on line banking.

Not seeing my deposit at 10 made me a bit worried but I know this bank–they have a bad habit of “forgetting” to check the night drop so I figured I’d wait a while and check again. I checked at noon, still no deposit. I checked again at 2:15, and STILL no deposit so I called. The teller said she’d check on it and put me on hold. It was a couple minutes before she came back only to tell me they had the deposit and then she tried to bull shit me and tell me that it just doesn’t show up on the online banking right away. RIGHT (NOT). She should know that I know how it works and she should also remember that I know about their bad habit of not doing their night deposits. We had this same problem with them where I use to work and it would be thousands of dollars in cash and they would “forget” to get it out of the night drop.

I shouldn’t have to call them at 2:15 to get them to check their night drop, should I?! APPARENTLY YES.

People are annoying or at least I think they are anyway.

I play in a cases league online and many of the people in the league have an annoying habit that just drives me nuts and the best way I can describe it is oneupmanship. At the end of a game (at the table you’re playing at) you say your kudos…….gg, wtg, etc. Problem is, a lot of these same people then think they have to go out to the lobby and say gg again. It’s annoying as hell! It’s like they have to get the last word in or show the others what good sports they are or something. Bugs me. I never say it in the lobby, they’re lucky I say anything let alone trying to be a oneupper.

If you’re reading this and you’re one of these oneupper people–QUIT IT!

Have I mentioned that in addition to the many other things I’m not, I’m also NOT a fan of change?

Friday we rearranged the house and moved the living room to a different room, etc. Not only do I now have a total fucking disaster but I also absolutely HATE the way it’s set up. It’s just awful. It’s dysfunctional and my computer and monitor are now backwards (on my left instead of right) from where they were and I CAN’T STAND IT!

The problem is that in addition to changing rooms around we also added a new couch which is great except there is just no room for it and it only makes my hatred of the situation and the set up all the worse. I am at a loss as to what to do and I am getting no cooperation from the husband on changing it again to make it better or putting it back.

All I know is that it’s making me even more cranky than the normal pre-holiday more cranky and I can’t stand it!

The holidays are fast approaching and I can certainly tell it by my mood and attitude. I hate the holidays! It isn’t even just hate really. It’s the most superlative form of dread. Thanksgiving will be the same as it always is. With my family it will be just as dysfunctional as always with my brother and me going to the nursing home to see our mom for 45 minutes and eat lunch with her. My brother’s wife will be there, shooting me evil looks and being the bitch that she is, as usual. At my in-laws it will also be the same with my mother-in-law drinking beer after beer and shooting her mouth off about herself and her latest money spending exploits. You know, the usual……bitch brag and mememe……..

And should we even go there with Christmas. Again, pure dysfunction. My family will all be squished into my brother’s tiny house with children who have no manners whatsoever. My brother and his wife will argue AS ALWAYS with one of them storming off and pouting AS ALWAYS with the rest of us looking puzzled and feeling like shit.

At the in-laws it will be the same as Thanksgiving……..my mother-in-law drinking and talking about herself. And to make it even better, there will the be gifts at the in-laws where the mother-in-law will buy over $400 worth of things for her son-in-law while giving her son (my husband) $30 worth of crap AS ALWAYS. And if we’re really lucky, we’ll get the drunken brother-in-law too……the guy who (according to his wife TT) doesn’t have a drinking problem, he has panic attacks. YEAH RIGHT……..he can’t go anywhere without a cooler of beer he’s such a drunk and she is nothing but an enabler to buys him the beer and then has the colossal gall to lie and say he doesn’t have a drinking problem. Sounds like real fun doesn’t it?! We of course will also have to have HTT acting like she runs the place as usual too, god forbid we’d get away with out.

It’s no wonder that I get even more pissy at this time of the year. I just can’t stand it any more and I can’t get away from it unless I happen to be really, really sick in-the-hospital sick and then the fuckers would probably come to the hospital just to make me miserable.

Holidays suck and I am not a bit surprised about the high suicide rate at this time of year.

I have a garage door opener that makes me look like an idiot to my neighbors! This thing has not worked right since I have moved to this house. It’s a wonderful thing to have, a rare luxury for me as I have always had to park outside BUT the fact that the fucking thing doesn’t work worth a shit just takes all the fun away.

There isn’t enough room to pull off the street in front of my garage to use the automatic opener so I have to press the button on the remote when I’m out on the street. The problem is that either the remote control or the control unit itself is very picky about how or IF it wants to work. I have learned that I have to be at a certain distance away from the garage to have any chance of the remote opening the door. Part of the problem with that is that the door changes it’s mind every day on what the distance is and in what direction so I end up doing the car ballet. Very often, I am in the street moving forward and then backing up all the time pressing the remote button waiting for the door to decide it should open. I’m sure it’s quite a site to see really…….me in the car, pirouetting and plieing in the street with my car trying to get the door to open so I can get off the street. Needless to say, it’s very annoying and frustrating. Many times, even if the damn door does open, it then decides to go into a seizure and there it sits, lights flickering but the door at a full stop.

I keep threatening to buy a new garage door opener but my dear husbands keeps assuring me that he just needs to keep adjusting the door control inside to get it working right. In the meantime, I look like an idiot in front of the neighbors by doing the car ballet!
