September turned into a very sad month. Two of my step-grandsons' grandmothers passed away within two weeks of each other.
I would return to the grief group but I will be there only two or three times. Some is better than none. The last time I was at the group 2 y.a. most everyone was mourning just one person. At that time, I had three then. Now I have 6 people on my current mourning list. It's said a person can mourn just one person at a time but can move among the mourning list.
Add to this, we meet friends for a 4 day visit. I told one that I was sitting out one event because we have house expenses and I didn't want to spent that much money. This friend said I'll pay for it. We get to the event and I try to confirm the agreement. It changed to I'll only pay for this portion. So I paid for my full participation. I said nothing. I didn't treat that person poorly. Any trust is gone.

I'm not sure my relatives can behave for 3 months. I'm not sure my sister can behave for two days in the car to get to Toronto, let alone the 5 days we will be alone with the toddler. My sister behaved very well on the trip and we would not have made it these past 5 days without each other. I am hoping this is the beginning of repairing our relationship.

Dear Safety Manager,
So your solution to keep employees from cutting themselves with a handheld knife that barely cuts through butter is to give them a power tool that will do the cutting for them? Somehow I see this not ending well. And we are going to waste $40,000 in the process.

Dear HR Director
I have asked you several times if you needed help compiling a report. You have said no. Now you need help right before it is due.
Frustrated
Payroll Manager
I should have listened to the voice that told me to put the report together last month.

Dear Vendor,
I know you are not a fan of the new ordering system that corporate has forced on us. I'm not either, but it is what we have to work with. You threatening me with cutting of our supply because you do not want to use the system gets neither of us anywhere. I will just be forced to find new vendors and you will lose a valuable customer - you likely already have because I do not deal with threats or ultimatums.
Signed,
Your Multimillion Spending Customer

but then again, I've never met your sister, and even I don't like how she treats you. I wish you lived near me. I'd be your sister, since I don't have one. Can I join in on the sister act. I don't have one either but I know I could be a good sister

Yes, three would be a great number.
I am not happy about inviting me to Thanksgiving at 3:30 PM on Thanksgiving Day. She did it because she that pisses me off and I will say no. So she played me and I said no. She can say that I declined her invitation but she never gives the rest of the details.

I’ll be the bitch sister in this trio.

I should have done that and let her worry--if she had noticed I didn't show up.

Speaking of showing up ... steff I gotta ask how your holiday has been so far, with your family. Your menu was exhausting and fabulous, but I wondered if Crazy Auntie Peabrain and her Batshit Bus made an appearance?

Your menu was exhausting and fabulous, but I wondered if Crazy Auntie Peabrain and her Batshit Bus made an appearance? Thanksgiving went great. There were only 6 of us, my baby brother (The Golden Child) had to work. It was kinda funny in that normally, my kiddo isn't at turkey day because he's working. This year we got him but lost my brother. lol Still made a shit ton of food just smaller amounts & sent it home with mom & my middle brother/sis in law. Hubby left early the next morning to go hunting. He'll be home sometime Monday afternoon. I'm enjoying a quiet long weekend at home putting away fall decorations & preparing for Christmas decorations to puke everywhere. I can hear my nutcracker army calling me from upstairs.
We thought BSC Aunt P would come thru sometime this past month heading to Florida & to see NotMyUncle, but as of 6 days ago, she was still in Arizona. Last 2 years she has "wintered" in Florida & there's some school bus gathering there one week every winter. We saw she started moving from Colorado down towards I-10 which would take her all the way to Florida & thru Houston if she wanted to try & see if anyone there who would see her. But then she stalled out in Arizona and that's where she's been. We have no clue if she's still taking to anyone in the family or not. BSC Aunt S in Virginia is no longer talking to anyone. lol

steff <<some school bus gathering there one week every winter>> I looked this up -- it's called the "Skoolie Swarm." It's actually open to anyone with a house on wheels - car campers, pop-ups, box campers, tiny houses and school buses. I see the 2022 Swarm is schedule to begin Feb 18 in Melrose (about halfway between Gainesville and St. Augustine; the one in 2021 was also in February and actually near me in West Palm Beach).
Glad she isn't coming this far. I can save my rotten tomato and water balloon ammo for better use.

Brother Dear /s
If you are under the weather or sick let me know before you attempt to have me swing by. Thankfully you fessed up before I met up with you tomorrow and our drop off won't be until Monday instead. I have somewhere I need to be on Friday and there is no way I want to possibility get sick beforehand or pass it on afterword.

I've had to just accept that we thought of him as family, but he thought of us as my aunt's family. Don't like it, but I had to just let it go.

Sister:
Your son did not fall for you trying to play you against me. You did not succeed in bullying him to do what you wanted.
You do not need to suggest. that he and his family could stay with and add "just a thought" Before making that offer, you might have actually asked me.
They know they are welcome and we had discussed it. That has nothing to do with why they are not coming for Christmas.
At least your son now totally understands why there will be no more sister trips.
Signed,
The aunt who will be talking to your grandson on Christmas

This morning she sent her son a text. He only saw the preview before deciding not to read it. Preview said she needed to know if they are coming. Why is she still asking?
The two of us FaceTimed very briefly and he said she is trying to emotionally blackmail him. He is correct.
I told him I remember the 3 of them here after the big argument in May and his wife crying that her mother-in-law doesn't like her. He said this morning, his wife believes that now with all of her heart and they are so happy they have me and that the Toddler has me.

Dear Requesters,
When you come to my office to request an ETA at least come prepared with the item you requested, or at the very least the CORRECT equipment that said item is was requested for. Also, please do not send 3 other people requesting the same information in the next 30 minutes, including my manager. This gets nothing accomplished, other than wasting my time and proving you to be a liar. The form you are required to fill out includes the date and your signature, and was dated 11/04 - not the March date you are running around telling everyone that you made the request. All I had to do was scan the form to correct your misinformation.

Dear Maskless shopper at Target:
When you are coughing up hairballs, during a pandemic no less, keep your sorry a$$ home!
(And, learn to wear a mask, instead of sharing whatever you've got with others.)
Not happy, Busymom

They may not get a final farewell.

Argggggggggggggggggggggggggggh! I hate MS. Why do we need a damn Microsoft account to do everything with verifies based on cellphones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No wonder the damn thing complains through pop ups. My last phone got turned off by the provider just b4 my Mom's death in 2018. My main phone is now VOIP. It does not do texts, it doesn't even do VM or messages all that well, although it claims it does. (I have to login in elsewhere to check the damn thing. I can find phone numbers. I have yet to find a real message left by anyone. Ever.) I have a new to me Smartphone I can barely use. I don't want MS or anyone to use that number. I can see texts. I don't even know how to text on the damn thing nor call anyone who isn't it contacts. WTE! Stupid world that assumes we all have smart phones and know how to use them.  Underfunded peeps have to live cheap.

Dear brother, Holy cannoli! I saw the pix from your cruise. Your two youngest daughters are going to die before all of us. Forget fat. Forget big-boned. They are at morbidly obese. OK, they are adults and not in your control anymore. But, seriously, WTF happened? You and your wife hardly set good examples. You both smoke, neither of you gets any exercise beyond getting in and out of your cars. And a four-day cruise to nowhere except the buffet? I showed a picture to my kickboxing trainer. He was speechless. I am keeping the picture. It's a good reminder to get up and work out every day.

Hey A**Hat from this weekend. I don't know who you are or what your issue is but there is absolutely no reason to fire a gun (min 8 bullets) into the back of our condo community. Especially since there are children that live here. And you actually managed to hit at least 1 unit. I feel grateful that you were firing into the backs of the units because the bedrooms are in the front. Extremely Snappish Snap.
