Bitch & Moan 11/20
Hey look! It's Friday! I'm on time for my own meme!
Ok, not really that exciting. Probably could have used one less exclamation point. Maybe I should have skipped all of the exclamation points?
Anyway, time for some bitching and moaning. Gonna do a mind dump here so I can head into the weekend bitch-free. Bitch-free...sounds like diet bitching or something. And in all reality, I'm never bitch-free. There is always something to bitch about. It's just part of my natural charm.

- Holidays:
I'm just not feelin' it this year. I'm hosting Thanksgiving dinner at my house this year, but I didn't invite every member of both sides of our family. I'm keeping it small and probably not going anywhere that day. I just don't want to. Usually Thanksgiving is a big to-do with visiting both sides of our family. But this year is different.
And Christmas...don't even get me started. I feel like such a Scrooge already.
- Teens, Tweens and Twirds (Twilight + nerds = Twirds? I stole this word from my BFF):
I went to the midnight showing of New Moon last night (review to follow). I dragged my daughter out, against her will to see it. She is probably the only 13-year old on the planet who could give a shit less about anything Twilight.
Anyway, while the theater wasn't even full there were enough screechy/squealy girls there to make me thankful that my kid isn't one of those kids.
Like, OH EM GEE! Edward! (screech/squeal/scream.....repeat)
Like, OH EM GEE! Jacob! (screech/squeal/scream.....repeat)
Ok, that is probably exaggerated a bit. But you get the idea. I honestly don't think I was ever like that as a kid. Mom?
- Common Courtesy:
Do people not have it anymore?
This goes along with the movie experience last night. You're in a movie theater...common courtesy is to not put your feet on the chair in front of you if someone is sitting in that chair. Common courtesy is to not thump the back of the chair that is in front of you. Common courtesy is to SHUT THE FUCK UP while the movie is playing.
And normally my bitch-ass would have turned around and said something snarky to these people but it was a group of kids (guys and girls) and they were all HUGE. Bigger than me...like beat-down-the-old-lady-in-the-parking-lot-after-the-movie huge. I kept my mouth shut.
- Laundry:
It seriously never fucking ends around here.
- Sore throats:
I've had one for almost two weeks now. It feels like there is a lump in my throat and it hurts and is hard to swallow. It feels swollen? I went to urgent care on Sunday night because it hurt so bad, I really thought something was wrong. The strep test came back negative. In fact the doctor said that he didn't see anything that looked that bad in my throat...which made me feel like a total jackass. But it seriously hurts!
He gave me some concoction of Maalox, Benadryl and Lidocaine to gargle with. It numbs things up pretty good...for an hour or so. But it's not going away. It's not getting worse, but it's not getting any better either.
And I don't have any other symptoms. Weird.
- Anything that has a "special sauce" or a "secret sauce" on it:
Yeah, I know that sounds weird...vague even. But when restaurants don't want to tell you what their special or secret sauce is...well I'd just assume not have anything with that on it. As my mind goes a little too crazy thinking up possibilities. And we'll just leave it at that.
So what pissed you off this week?

That is EXACTLY why I didn't go to the midnight showing(otherwise I would have been there before you could have said where'd Kayla go).
I'm a BIG Twilighter, but even I won't go into a theater full of screaming and screeching girls >.<
I did not even fell like being on the comp. tonight but i had to check in and read your bitch and moan. Once again you absolutly crack me up!!! I made my husband come in here and read this, he thinks your funny too. Well here's mine for this week.
Well i changed my mind it was to long so i erased it. I basically took shit from my husband's friend wife that works at a spa i was looking into getting some lazer treatments and i guess she didn't relize the 2 times she told me she'd call me back and never did was enough to tell her to kiss my ass but i called and scheduled with someone eles for next week and i guess i'll have to lay it out on the table that her customer service belongs in a paper bag and he bigitry attitude is not flatering.
Yea, I don't get the Twilight thing either. Yet, I guess I shouldn't speak, I thought Vampire stuff was cool when I was in Grade School. I'd even sneek back up to watch old black and white vampire movies on school nights, if I knew they were coming on.
Everyone's rude in the stupid movies anymore, so we rarely (less than once a year) go to the theaters anymore.
It's a gripe when you pay doctor's to help you feel better and you don't.
Did they check where your parotid (salivary gland) drips into your throat, sometimes a piece of popcorn can get stuck in there and cause havoc. If that's the case the only way to get it out is usually with a long sterile Q-tip applicator thing. Usually a Doctor would have to do this if you got a big gag reflex.
You might try this, stinky, but not too foul tasting mixture my grandmother used to swear by for a gargle to help sore throats.
Eight ounces of warm water in which you add a couple of teaspoons to a tablespoon full of garlic salt and 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar (with no fiber in it). Mix all the ingredients together. Gargle with it several times a day if needed and it's okay to swallow a few swallows unless you're on a restricted sodium diet. Of course, don't use at all if allegic to any of the ingredients.
If you don't have any garlic salt you can substitute in the following way: Chop up and boil a garlic clove or two in the eight ounces of water, strain, and let cool til warm, then add in 1-2 teaspoons of salt, and of course the vinegar as above.
Why is this suppose to work? Well
garlic is a natural antibacterial, vinegar also kills some bacteria's and virus' because it's an astringent and if you swallow some of it, it's full of vitamin C, the salt helps sooth, as does the warm water. The whole mixture somehow helps to loosen up mucous if you swallow a few swallows too.
Yes, you're breath just smells like you had a garlic salad, but if you're not going to be around anyone but your own immediate family you might want to give it a try.
It helps with my sore throats which I get from post nasal drip related to my numerous allergies.
Sorry about your sore throat... if it's not better by the end of this week, screw the other doc, go to an ear, nose & throat specialist!!
It could be allergies, or post nasal drip, or even your ears or sinuses. But I'd get a second opinion.
I know exactly what you mean about common courtesy, I am ALWAYS bitchin' about that to The Hubs. It is really bad around here because of all the tourists who are in such a hurry to "have fun". They ar constantly trying to run in front of my wheelchair or me with the cane. I have gotten to the point now that I, OOPS, hit them or trip them with the cane. "I'm sorry, I didn't see you when you ran in/cut in/ front of me. You should be more careful, I'm really not that steady on my feet." (TeeHee)
I really had a pretty good week this time - can't bitch about my health insurance & my pain every week, so I skipped a post this week.
Have a GREAT Thanksgiving...and I KNOW you will get out of the funk - that is what WINE is for!!!
