All Purpose Rant Away Thread - 3.2.1 GO!

[torontogal12]

@Lyssia510 on that cash brag bridal shower, if you're a nervy type person, you may want to reply with "sorry, I'd love to, but money is tight right now!" See if they get the message .


I had a surprise shower myself...though I figured out the surprise because I had to go to SIL's house and my parents were driving me there and she lives about an hour away...my mom and SIL are not besties so I knew something was up when they told me to block off my Saturday. LOL. It was really lovely but if you guys ever organize a surprise one, try to make it more of a surprise haha

My backyard is a dirt/clay dog poop infested swamp. So freaking gross!
2 of my dogs ( the boys of course ) are not listening to me since they have discovered gophers in the pasture.
DH has been home for 4 weeks and is driving me crazy ( time for him to go back overseas )
Arrrrgggg!

If it makes you feel any better our front yard is the same way and we don't even own dogs

Shout out to Smartsource for using all my colored ink on HUGE advertisements followed after there coupons.

$2 for the coupon, $3 for the ink

(Someone tell me how to fix that??)

^ Candini, I was SO POed when that happened with a Head and Shoulders coupon. Don't know of a way to stop it, since they don't allow us to preview or use a B&W option.

Ugh yeah that's exactly what I printed. Like am I supposed to frame it

I remove the color cartridge from the printer whenever I print my coupons. That is the only way I can figure out to make it only b/w.
I wish I could choose fast copy so that it would not waste as much of the black ink - especially on the coupons that have all black thick bars at the top of the coupon.

Yes, as a lesson for your mistakes.

I bought the wrong paper punch at Michaels today and I stupidly opened it before realizing it's an 1/2 inch too big.

I bought a 3.5 inch and it wasn't until I took it out of the package and made a punch that I realized it's too big and I should have gotten the 3 inch.

Now I can't even find an online template for the 3.5 inch (I found one but it doesn't show the actual circles so you have no way of knowing if your label is lined up).

today my daughter won an award at school.. i didn't find out until i found it in her backpack! if the teacher would have told me i would have been there! the date on the award was from last week (though assembly was today) she had well over a week to tell me that my daughter was getting one this month, i'd been in the school 3x to pick her up since it was dated she could have informed me! yes i know it's an award every kid in the school gets at some point during the year BUT it's special for the kid at the time they receive it and i would have loved to get a picture of her holding it or a little vid of her standing infront of the school

last year her teacher put a note in her lunch bag, emailed me, and stopped me in the hallway when picking her up to let me know and i was there and this year i didn't get a chance to be there

[thriftygranny]

I would be upset too Midnightly, i always liked to be there for my kids for things like that. I would mention it nicely in passing and ask to be informed of anything else.

I tried WEN by Chaz Dean and OMG!! It RUINED my hair! I had fine hair before using it and this CRAP turned my hair into coarse, crunchy, brittle straw! I had to go to my hairdresser and she was shocked at it. She put a deep conditioning treatment on it and while it feels a bit better, it still isn't as good as it was. But hopefully, once I use a protein shampoo and conditioner a few times, my hair will recover.

[Crochetlady]

Thanks for telling us. I have fine hair and was considering trying it.

[Natalka]

^ Hope your hair recovers sooon, Wolfie! Lots of complaints about it if you google.

Never heard of it before and I don't have fine hair (I have nice thick wavy/curly hair) but thanks to you I will never try any of their products if I ever find it. I hope your hair gets better soon but it sounds like your rant might safe a few people from having a similar issue.

[wolfwoman]

Thanks guys. PLEASE NO ONE USE THIS CRAP!!! My hair should recover. At least I still have my hair and not gone bald like some other women.
