The Bitch Thread

[Bandit58]

It's not the idiots that piss me off - they can't help themselves. It's the assholes. The one's who won't let me switch lanes, or turn, or whatever. It's not stupidity, it's flat out RUDENESS.

I hate driving in Sydney. I can get to a couple of shopping centres and the local club and that is it. I'm from the country and used to one lane going each way, not 2,3 or 4 both going and coming at me Plus my miserable sense of direction. Our local suburb/shopping centre is a maze of traffic lights and one way streets and nowhere to park I tend to lose my car in the parking building. I hate driving on freeways and motorways. Everyone goes so FAST

I hate cheep plastic parts on a so called "reliable" car that break off in my hand when I have done nothing more than manipulate them the way they were made to be used.

In this case a door handle.

Where I live we have ice storms and I'm not lucky enough to have a garage, and where I work isn't nice enough to supply a roof over the parking areas. So, when these storms happen, the cars get covered with ice and very difficult to get the doors open.

It's a simple thing, really. At least it used to be in the old days. Back then, cars were tanks and the door knobs were metal and they were well attached to the door. They were formed into a nicely shaped handle that could be gripped and pulled with some force to get the door to break free of the ice.

But today, there are fancy flip up handles, some not of metal, and there's no chance to get a grip, so you can break nails, fingers or whatever, in the very cold weather when trying to get your door open.

And on top of that, the older cars all had DOOR all the way around, where the ice would collect. These new doors all have WINDOW at the top and those windows can break in the cold weather, if put under too much wrenching stress. And the only thing there of the car behind that window is a flimsy rubber seal, that if you get your scraper too close to, can be gouged and damaged...so next spring, you might have a leak there.

Come on, people! I guess the cars look nicer, if you live in an area where it doesn't get cold, but there's a lot of the world that does get cold. Why don't they think of us when designing these new cars?

Well, my sense of direction sucks too. Frankly, I couldn't find my ass with both hands in the dark. I'm constantly turning the wrong way, or getting hopelessly turned around and having NO idea where I am. Luckily I can read a map, and K bought me a huge map of the area.

i had a job interview at my mum's school today...
it got moved up to 4:30, and i got blasted by wind and rain on the way to the car, so i was in a hurry, and when i tried to turn in to the street i got waved on by a police officer. Then i went to the next street and turned in and there were police everywhere. So i told one of them i had a job interview at 4:30 and he let me through the looooooooonnnnnnng way. i could see by this point that the front of both schools (they're side by side) were taped off and had a variety of emergency vehicles. Now i'm worried - i mean, my mum is there, right?
i managed to drive around and park in back and talked to a police officer who told me the school was empty and all the kids are at the arena a block away. As i walk by the school next door there were ominous groaning and thudding sounds, and there's shingles all over the soggy ground all the way to the arena.
There i find out that there's been a tornado and it tore the roof off the gym of the school next to my mum's. i get my picture snapped by an annoying photographer. Also, my mum's school wasn't the one at the arena. So i walk back, note that my mum's car has been pushed around the parking lot and has a window smashed in, and arrived in time to give my mum a big hug. Since she actually watched the tornado go by she was a bit shaken. Also she couldn't get to her car to drive it home, so i gave her a ride home. She was so shaken that she couldn't find one set of keys, and when i went out to get stuff from her car i found them on the seat in the broken glass. She had left them there when she taped up the window.
We also figured out that the blast of wind and rain i got on the way to the car at MY school was probably what was left of the funnel cell.

All in all, it was quite an experience, and all i'm left with is a sort of bewilderment that lingers. i don't know what to do with this. i think i'm distressed, but it's hard to tell.

Oh, and only two kids from the other school were hurt and they had minor injuries.

Send me pictures of the mark(s) I live 20 mins from hollywood.

For an extra dime I'll even put a lit cig in their lips for hypocrate ruination.

I hate drive through speaker boxes. Trying to order your food through them is like trying to speak to charlie browns teacher....

Mwaaaa waaaa waaa, waaaa wa.

Glad I rarely eat fast food anymore.

OK, I for one am confused. Was there or was there not a tornado?

There was a tornado. But we don't get tornadoes here. It's very odd. i feel so wierd. It's so improbable.

Oh, now I understand. Well, where I live, we get a lot of them.

Don't worry. Although the season here is several months, the tornados themselves don't usually last very long, and although they can do a lot of damage, they can be predicted, for the most part.

Well, predicted is not really the right word. They can predict when the weather is right for one to form, but knowing exactly if, when or where it will come down as a funnel cloud...that's still a bit iffy.

If your area doesn't normally have tornados, that is strange.

Has somebody in your area recently pissed off Mother Nature? You know, it's not nice to piss off Mother Nature.

Don't get me started on that. Fleas love me and with four cats, that can be a problem. And, I've gone the path you mention of looking for something that works, but there are quite a few that say they do, and very few that actually do.

I think a few years back, the drugs that were the main ingredient of these products was maybe no longer available, for some reason. Who knows why. Anyway, I think these companies are still selling their product, as if it never changed,

I know Advantage for cats use to work great, but the last time I got it (and that will be the last time) it didn't seem to work at all.

I tired over the counter stuff, and even searched the Internet for possible home remedies. Nothing seemed to work, or work enough because the fleas can become such a problem so quickly.

I tried Dawn liquid in a squirt bottle. You are suppose to spray that on your carpets, then vacuum. The fleas aren't suppose to like it and end up dying. Then, in about 15 minutes, you vacuum them all up. Ha!

Well, that works a little, but beause I have a shag carpet, I'd have to wet my carpets too much. It would damage the vacuum, and or the carpet.

I heard lavender works well, but I could never find any pure lavendar to try it. I also got some stuff from Ortho, but it didn't really seem to work, either. Well, sometimes it seemed to work, but you never really knew, until it was too late, if it didn't work.

As far as my cats are concerned, I found the OTC version of Frontline plus worked. But, I also heard there was a law suit filed by vets against selling that OTC, so that might not be available any more. Shit, don't those vets get enough that they have to have the complete marked for fleas, too?

I used to always fumigate my house when an infestaction happened. This was maybe 15 years ago, but I would by those little foggers and my cats and I would take a ride. When we came back, everything was dead...flleas, roaches, spiders, you name it.

But, now, I don't even think of getting those any more. I've tried them all, but not a one seems to work at all. Yep, I think some main ingredient of these products was taken off the market, or some law suit was filed that forced OTC products to stop using it, because the main companies that did it for a living were pissed that they weren't getting any customers.

Of course, that would never be published, because they could force silence in the settlment. Good luck with those little blood sucking bugs. I'm waiting for the first freeze to hit my neck of the woods. It slows down the flea and the allergy season where I live.

[FurryFury]

Crap!

My cats haven't had fleas since we got them but after our vacations they do. I'm thinking the damn things came in with the Cat Sitter.

I just bought Advantage and it won't work? *grr*

I hope it does that stuff is expensive!

Not saying it won't, but let me know if it does. Did you get it from the vet or OTC? There are two kinds, just like with Frontline Plus. One kind you can only get at the vet and is suppose to be more powerful. I wouldn't think they would sell something that doesn't work. It's the OTC version that deson't work for me.

I wanted to get the vet version, but they wanted to see all four of my cats, before they would sell it to me. Come on, now, Doc? Don't you get enough moeny from the Advantage that you dno't need another bunch of cash for seeing my cats? And, who's to say they won't get fleas in your kennel? Of course, I can't prove that.

As for my cats, they are all indoor cats. I know I, as well as others bring the fleas in on our pant legs or socks, etc. It's the only way my cats get infested. They don't go out of the house during flea season. It's just too damn expensive.

Unless you spray your yard, a flea can live in your yard without it's first blood meal for up to a year? He's just sitting there, semi dormant, waiting for someone's leg to come along, because they are attracted to motion. And, thank God we have winter here, beause there are parts of the world that always have fleas because it never gets cold enough to kill them off.

 

[FurryFury]

Yes, I got it from the vet, for three months worth, three cats.

They are all indoor too.

It never gets that cold here.

I'll let you know if it works or not, and my vet will hear from me too!

When all the worlds against me, and I'm feeling crushed and beat - I hold this cherished knowledge - fleas think I'm sweet.

Ok - the fleas. For you - take vitaim B12 - every day or it won't work. For them, 'advantage' from the doctors does work. I know cause the vet put it on our kittens and the enxt day all the fleas were gone.

For the carpet, spray eucalyptus oil on your carpet and couch and things like that. It won't kill them, but they dont' like the smell and will vacate your house. At one point we had four cats and 15 kittens (two litters). Nothing I could afford was working on the fleas - then I did that. Haven't had a problem since.

 

[graceanne]

and to think that I didn't even notice.

Well, you know friends don't let friends type drunk.

 

[Kierae]

regarding fleas: Borax (in the laundry section of the market) sprinkled on your carpet...let it sit for like 30 minutes...then vacuum up. Do this like once a week and you will eventually kill the flea cycle. Doesn't harm your carpet and easy to do thru the flea season. Also if you have barked gardens (lots of people use it for mulch in their flower beds) - it is notorious for attracting fleas which of course your animals go thru or lie in. We got rid of the bark and did the borax treatment and usually only see a couple fleas thru the entire season.

For three weeks, i have been looking forward to my own private BDSM "training camp" with my Protector, D. I was supposed to leave today for three days of toys and play and experiencing every wild wish i ever had.

I also have been playing beat the clock with one of my show cats who was due to have kittens this week...and guess what?

She's holding onto these kits like they are velcro'd inside. Nothing to do but wait out mother nature, as i'm not one to meddle unless it's life threatening.

So my long awaited playtime has fallen by the wayside.. and i am mad, frustrated, resentful, disappointed and heartbroken.

He has been the perfect Gentleman and insisted that Momcat had a higher priority and we would try again.

Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn.

Good that he is a gentleman ... still sucks though i bet.
i think i would have stuck the cat with my mom, or someone ... or carried her (the cat) along in a pet carrier.
