I am grumpy today because my body hurts, my brain is too full and I read something somewhere here today that grumped me up. Oh yeah, it was about the usage of the English language. Aaarrggghghggh
I'm a rebel and sometimes I don't want to be "correct". What do I get out of it, huh?
And after a day and a half of very nice drugs, I am abstaining today, as I usually do and life is not as cool as it was Mon. and Tues. That's just truthful and nice when you're in a lot of pain. So because I've not taken more than an Advil, I'm hurtin' and it's making me grumpy. Or grumpified. Or grumpification. It's all those things. <winksmilewink>

Thanks spuff for the help with Maxine, my heroine.

I just asked Mr G if he would get me started on downloading pictures to have ready to post on my posts !!! Two times he ignored me while he is watching Stargate, he has seen this one at least 3 times. I am a bit grumpy now but just wait to see how grumpy I really can get if he ignores me again.
Editing_______________
He helped me. No grumps at the moment.

O.K. Now I lay me down to sleep. I posted a titillating response and it went into the cyberspace black hole. Now I am grumpy, yet oh so happy when I saw I was a member of this group! Thanks TBD for helping us to thrive through mishaps. Hoping, MB this group thrives and I can laugh, love and live in it.

Mockingbird complains: "I'm grumpy because I can't find the pictures of that old lady that is on Hallmark type cards who's all cranky and grumpy.
That's easy, just click on the profile of Granny Gladys. But, at least Gladys has got a sense of humour.
I can't believe Editor posted a "titillating" response though!
Edited to add: Oh, it just came through as a private message to me. I wonder if she was trying to give me a "message"?
Posted: Apr 16, 08 1:58pm
So what are you grumpified by today Britscot?
Posted: Apr 16, 08 1:59pm
Oh, I'm sorry Mockingbird!
I see what you mean, I'm supposed to be grumpy to post on this thread. I should remember that when I'm in a frivolous mood.
I'll remove as much of my posts as I can forthwith.
Posted: Apr 16, 08 2:11pm
No no Britscot
A little humor could help forthwith.---- LOL
Posted: Apr 16, 08 2:50pm
Please refer to Britscot as just Brit.
Don't ask me why. I'm in a Grump Alright!
Posted: Apr 16, 08 2:01pm
Yeah! Vent time!
I am tired. Tired of doing everything. Still not feeling like myself from the sinus infection. Thought I found a good ENT & I just heard a horror story about him. Now I need to find another one.
Then I go to get my propane tank filled because it's finally spring here & I had an extra one in the garage. It's the old model, not the new model with the safety valve. I thought I got rid of all the old ones. I waited for the guy for 10 minutes to be told he can't do it.
This is when I wish I had someone in my life to hug me. I need a hug. Now I'm grumpy & I have a client to see later.
Posted: Apr 16, 08 2:06pm
Oh Oh! Someone mixed stewed with grumpy.
Spuff and MB, the best I can sincerley do at this moment is {{{hug}}}. Did we really need a group for me to do that?
Posted: Apr 16, 08 2:18pm
Yep editor
Humor and {{{hugs}}}may help quiet violence in grumpy groups.
Posted: Apr 16, 08 2:41pm
A SUPPORTIVE COMMENT TO SPUFF:
Shall we get a posse going on this ENT's ass? I'll do it ya know!!! Finding a really good one is really difficult and when you go, don't wear anything too sexy unless he's good looking cuz he'll be close up to the girls. Ya know?
I guess hiring someone to fill PROPANE (highly flammable gas) tanks takes little brain power since "whoever" hired an IDIOT to come and waste your time. I'm with you - iggit!!
HUGS HUGS HUGS HUGS HUGS HUGS HUGS
You'll be phenomenal this evening with your client and make a ton of money!!!!

Spuff,
Consider yourself hugged!!! Free of charge!!!
Now, as to the ENT, shall we call in Guido? Do you want one of his pinkies to point a different direction from the rest of his fingers?
As to the propane - I am no help there. I am looking for someone to fill the 30,000 gallon one for work. If you find someone, let me know.
(PS - the kill radius if this tank ever blew up is 1/2 mile.)
One warm fuzzy hug for Spuff.
Posted: Apr 18, 08 8:52am
Spuff I support you.
I know it's annoying about the propane tank, last summer we had to replace the ones for the trailer, and the BBQ there. Here it is illegal to sell, or fill, the old type. Maybe it's the same there. It is frustrating, and I hope you can get rid of that feeling soon.
But the ENT is much more than frustrating, it's truly maddening. I am praying that you find a good one. I would never want what happened to me, to happen to you. You are not going to have this infection for years. You are going to find a good doctor. Try to think positive thoughts. I'll be praying for you to get well soon.
Posted: Apr 18, 08 9:04am
thanks Gayle. The propane tank was just the thing that put me over the edge. It really had nothing to do with the tank.
The ENT is aggravating. I may have found a good one about 45 min from me. I want a doctor who knows what he is doing, especially if I need surgery which I think I do need.
ps...thanks for reminding me about the propane. I need to get it filled today for the weekend!
Posted: Apr 16, 08 2:31pm
I want to play, but I'm not grumpy.
You guys will have to keep this thread going until Monday when I plan to be grumpy again.
Posted: Apr 16, 08 2:47pm
A SUPPORTIVE COMMENT TO PRUNELLA:
Oh Pru, how can you not be grumpy about something? If you truly aren't, then switch lives with me!! This is not going to be one of those threads or groups that disappear. I will do my very best to keep it up and going and I hope you all will contribute and create other discussions in the same tone.
Make something up Pru. I can't wait till Monday!
Have you found any new hats, scarves or do-rags that will make new and most attractive head gear? Has it been annoying dear??? ;-)
Posted: Apr 16, 08 2:35pm
Spuff?
Have you an aversion to beards?
If not, there's a cyber hug on its way.
If you don't want it - just "return to sender".
Posted: Apr 16, 08 2:53pm
How could I resist this group!!!
I am feeling better now after a 1.5 hour workout at the gym. Yesterday was the last day for doing taxes. I work seasonally for a National tax company. I am pissed off that people come in at the last minute with no money to have their taxes done. "I thought I could take it out of my return!" F***kin idiot! How can you have a return if you are single made $2000, paid in zero taxes and cashed in a $4000 IRA and you are only 35? Then there were the calls I had to answer when everyone else was tied up: "Is today really the last day to file taxes?" My answer: "No, you can take your time. But, you will need to file an extension and get it postmarked by 11:59PM tonight and file by October.
"How much does that cost?" My reply "$50 for us to do it. But, you can go to the IRS office and get the form yourself."
Their answer: "I don't have $50. Could you give me the form and show me how to fill it out?" "No, sorry, we are very busy" And on and on...
Then there are all the brain dead people who can't seem to find it inside themselves to "question" our US government. They sport their "Bush/Cheney stickers" with pride.
Hey folks, that election was over almost 4 years ago.
Posted: Apr 16, 08 3:02pm
O.K., I hate to interrupt this fuzzy and meanigful moment. And I have read you all. But I have a carry out meal of fish and chips in a microwavable container, and it contained a piece of aluminum foil within. How shall I be at peace when affronted with this atrocity as I nly wanted to hit the microwave for reheat?
Posted: Apr 16, 08 3:05pm
Maybe you could......take out the foil?
Posted: Apr 16, 08 3:08pm
A SUPPORTIVE COMMENT TO DOTCOM:
What idiots those fish and chip carry out places are! What? They don't think that eventually you'll get home and be able to reheat the damn thing but NOOOOOO they've put aluminum foil in there, probably hidden too! What an atrocity! What do they expect you to eat now? Do they even care? No!
But we care. Call for a pizza love.
Posted: Apr 16, 08 3:08pm
I blame humans Editor.
We leave detritus on the sea shore and it gets wiped out to sea on the next tide and the fish think it's a juicy morsel and it ends up in your take-out.
Unless, of course, the foil was in the French Fries. You can't trust the bloody froggies. (That's the slang name for the French here).
Posted: Apr 16, 08 3:16pm
A SUPPORTIVE COMMENT TO WHITEMANITOU:
Not only are most people stupid, but there seems to be something about April and taxes that makes them most especially stupid and without the ability to monitor their stupid remarks before they spew them from their mouths. You seem to be very courteous to these morons WM - I don't think I have the patience and would tell them all about how moronic they honestly are.
Kudos to you. You have lots to GRUMP about. In fact, I think those idiots grumpified you today!! Bastards!!
Posted: Apr 18, 08 9:09am
editor
so what happened did you take the foil out?
leave it and have a fire?
I'll be supportive no matter what you did.
Posted: Apr 18, 08 9:14am
Whitemanitou
I agree 100%, a lot of people are very stupid, especially about taxes. Our tax day is on Apr. 30th, and I'm sure our accountants will be just as justifably pissed as you.
In the bank, we have a similar complaint, about February and the cut-off date to deposit to RRSP's (IRAs to you) for the previous years taxes. More idiots there too, think the bank can stretch the governments laws.
Posted: Apr 16, 08 2:55pm
thanks for the cyber hug my tbd friends. I won't start to tell you how long it took me to find something to wear.
Thanks for clarifying that I am a decorator mocking. that made me chuckle.
off to see the clients.
so far the grumpy grumps are great help!
Posted: Apr 16, 08 3:06pm
I see you chose the pirate outfit. They should like that.
Posted: Apr 16, 08 3:10pm
Male clients I would think would really go for the Pirate look - very, very sexy.
Although I would find it to be full of fun myself! Who wouldn't want a Pirate decorating your house?
Posted: Apr 16, 08 3:21pm
I am comforted that with your support, and less than 12 steps I was able to remove the foil wrapped around the scrod. I feel so relieved to find you {{{Thanks}}}and I hope when I return in the morning I find none grumpy, or sneezy, but happy.
Posted: Apr 16, 08 3:22pm
Well Pru,
You must admit it's slightly better to get a pirate than a cowboy to do the job.
Thank goodness I changed my profile pic.
Posted: Apr 16, 08 3:14pm
Boy am I ticked off! There's just tons of really, really, badly annoying stuff going on all around me.
It just couldn't get any more annoyinger.
Posted: Apr 16, 08 3:19pm
A SUPPORTIVE THOUGHT TO PRU:
Yea, like the ticking on that ratty sofa in the basement and that infernal ticking of all those friggin' clocks that tick whenever they seem to feel like it! Yea, that's really annoyyiingngngg.
Posted: Apr 16, 08 3:22pm
Now, here I am, being supportive to my friend Pru and I want to send her picture to make her laugh, but NOOOOOOOO. tbd is having difficulties like they do every frickin' chickin' dickin' night! I get some of my very best ideas at night and find cool pics (that i forget about the next day) that I want to share.
This is pure, unadulturated grumpification. Frick.
Posted: Apr 16, 08 3:30pm
Oh come on mockingbird (such a Looooooong name)why can't you post if for the rest of us grumplificationalists to enjoy?
Mmm, new religion! <bright idea> grumplificationalists
Right on honey.
Posted: Apr 16, 08 3:38pm
"New Religion"???
Yeah, Brit, that'd be a real fun group!
"If you start it, they will come."
This part I didn't understand:
"Oh come on mockingbird (such a Looooooong name)why can't you post if for the rest of us grumplificationalists to enjoy?"
Are you speaking one of those other English languages? Please respond at your earliest convenience.
Posted: Apr 16, 08 3:50pm
There's nothing to explain Mockingbird.
I just think the idea of a (grumplificationalists) as suggested by your goodself, we could make ourselves a fortune convincing others to sing hallelujah and join the grumplificationalists!
It would be run along the same lines as the Christian churches. You know the theme they all chant: If you are not a grumplificationalist you will be consigned to eternal life in Heaven/Hell.
Posted: Apr 16, 08 6:15pm
Annoyinger. Is that a word?? Take it easy. Just asking.
Editing again
Now I know you guys are making words up.
DON'T TRY TO FOOL ME. !!!!
Posted: Apr 16, 08 3:39pm
Hi. I am new here, and I am so happy to see this group. I do not like to be judged for being grumpy, or for being honest about having a bad day.
I feel very misunderstood. That makes me very grumpy. Thank you for this group.
Posted: Apr 16, 08 4:01pm
Henry, let me assure you there is no bigger grumpy person than me.
I grump at every comment that has ever been made, but thankfully I turn off the PC every now and again. You are in good company here.
As far as having a bad day - I don't consider I've had a bad day until "x" (name deleted) has go at me about something or other.
Welcome to the madhouse, but I have a feeling in my water that you are someone else on this site who has become too well known for his pranks and humour and you are playing the innocent with my beloved Pru.
Posted: Apr 16, 08 4:15pm
Henry your very existence makes me grumpy.
I suspect that something is amiss here.
Are you really fifty? Hmmmm?
