Nosy neighbor came home a day early...BOO HISS!
Within a few minutes of Dh arriving home from work I could spot her standing between her back door and the rattan partition she put up on her porch to stop others from looking onto her area listening to our conversation...(she thinks she can eavesdrop unnoticed this way...Not! I stare right at her through the wicker screen until she scuttles away like the rodent she is but I digress)
I'm sure I will be having words with her soon. She hates the neighbor on our other side, I have no idea why but since the other neighbors tore their house down and rebuilt she's been really revved up. I suspect jealousy. She likes to stand at the fence calling my name and crooking her finger at me to "come here" like I'm some 16 year old busboy who forgot to bring her a water refill. If I do go over to be polite she asks me nosy questions about the other neighbors and then spends 10 min slagging them to my face and trying to get me to choose sides with her over them (not gonna happen sweetcheeks we prefer them to you 110%) The last time she did the whole finger crook thing at me I just gave her a nasty stare and said NO, whatever you want to tell me you can tell me from here, you should have seen the Catbutt face on the old crone!
A good friend told me to tell her the next time she pulls the old finger crook at me to say " C, I'm not a dog. I don't come when you call me!" I'm reserving that for my final finale if she plays the clueless wonder with me and continues to treat me like a second class citizen.
Anyway, she's now noticed that we are digging out the garden bed and giving the fill to the people she despises so they can save a buck and we don't have to pay to have the fill hauled away. I figure the next time we are in the yard she'll start in on why are we givng that to him and start making rude comments about the guy, his wife and kids. I will be telling her that I've had enough of the gossip, I'm NOT choosing sides, that the issues she has with them are her problem and I don't want to hear it, and finally that I am not going to justify my decisions to her!!!
Dh is also going to be calling her out when we catch her sneaking out onto her porch in the dark everytime she hears the hot tub come on. He's going to call out "Hi C, enjoying your night?" evertime she comes out because she knows she's out there to eavesdrop and if we call attention to her she scuttles back in the house.
We are just damn tired of having to watch everything we say because she's always listening and spreading whatever she hears all over the neighborhood. Get a LIFE lady! Or at least a job, since she stopped working this has been 50% worse!
Jen
to Cats, & HH & everyone else here as well..
And
to Eddy too.
I know how much you loved the job you was on.
Now your going to lose it? That does suck.
I wish you all loads of luck.
I came here to bitch about the shitty weather.
But after reading all that you guys are going through.
I think I will keep my fat mouth shut
to one and all.
& Cats I hope your new neighbors are quiet people for now.
Or,at least tolerable people till you can afford to move to a home of your own someday
Why can't I ever once, just for one day, not have like 4 red pimples or dots or something on my face. Just once. I'm so tired of it. Back to the doctor maybe, I don't know. Nothing works. Piss moan piss moan. I always have at least one that hurts too.

Ditto. It's like I'm always a teenager and I'm 39. I thought the acne would stop after high school and it never did. I have several red dots on my face every day. Dermatologists have never been able to help me. No product I've ever tried has ever worked. No skin care regimen has ever done anything for me.
Dogsbreakfast, if you and your hubby know a foreign language, just use that when you're out there. That way, she won't have a clue what you're saying and might go away.
I've been known to slip into total sign language with Moody_Rants if we are somewhere I don't want people to know what I'm saying. We also sometimes use French.
I hate neighbors like that. I like the kind that say "hi" once in awhile but otherwise leave you alone.
Maybe you could just tell her you don't know anything about these people. Just play clueless. Answer everything with "I don't know. I don't know. I don't know..." etc.
My PAM: I'm on Prednisone because of a bad asthma attack this past weekend, and I hate how it makes me feel.

I'm almost 29 and I still get zits and blackheads. My face almost always has an oily sheen to it and no matter what I do, I can't get rid of it. It's worst during days with high humidity. Ugh.
My rant for the day........
This incessant rain is really getting to me. It's been raining nonstop for almost a month now. It is May 20th and it is currently 51 degrees F. 51! WTF is up with that?????? It's making me irritable, depressed, and tired.
Quote:...the Catbutt face...
HEY!! Don't insult cats!
At least compared to your neighbour, what comes out of a cats' butt is
useful fertilizer!
{walks away muttering, damn dog people anyway - no respect for cats at all....}
(You know I love you...I'm just having a cheeky day!)
I've also been breaking out badly- even for me- lately and I'm 30.
I was told my teenager pizza face would go away- ALL LIES! Well, ok, I don't have large cysts anymore but I have large pores, skin that overreacts to everything (too dry for acne meds, too oily for moisturizers) it does the best when I just leave it alone but even that isn't working lately.
There was one product that used to work well but the stores around here stopped carrying it. I'd looked for it online off an on over the years with no luck but FINALLY found someone on Amazon carrying it! It's a Neutrogena product but doesn't dry me out, and can be wore throughout the day to absorb moisture.. hang on *Scampers off to find linkage*
Clear Pore
The night mask thing doesn't work, but this Clear Pore Gel used to, I hope it does again as I just received 2 bottles in the mail today

DAMN IT TO HELL!!!!!!! All day I'm looking forward to watching last night's "House" episode. Now I find that the TiVo recorded the information channel instead of House!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I rode my bike in with a friend from the office. (Yeah, good for us. Whatever)
I am exhausted my legs hurt and my butt is numb. And it was cold this morning. I started to get chills at my desk while I waited for my turn at the shower. Schwinn-fever?
I really would like to do the bike thing more, if for no other reason than it is good for me, but I am tired and woefully out of shape. That and DH doesn't like the idea of me biking the 7 miles by myself, so wants me to bike with my friend. Especially since last summer there was a woman attacked on the trail near where my office is.
AND I have to make it home before 5:30 so DH and I can get his car at the shop. (The reason that today was the day I rode in.)
GRRRRR at DAMN Fuel prices rising so high forcing companies to close.
Now once again one of our very dear friends is out of work due to his job closing out on him.
This is the second time for poor Mike.
As he already lost one job. The same Job my DH lost back in March of 07.. ( DH & Mike were co-workers and good buddies) Poor Mike has only been with Jevic for less then a year.
Now he has to start all over once again with someone new!
That is IF he can find a new job!
When will this gas crisis END!!!!!!!!?????
I'm afraid it won't end. This is the new reality. They've figured out we will pay anything for gas, so they aren't going to lower the price.
It will only end when we switch to alternative energy sources -- not that those will necessarily be cheaper, but at least we won't be giving our money to countries that really, really hate us and want to see us destroyed.
Another day of rain...and tomorrow for my graduation the high is only supposed to be 60F plus a chance of rain...big surprise.
At least I have the weekend's nice weather to look forward to.

I have some break outs lately and it's been lasting for weeks. I can't put a face mosturizer that's too oily, I'll have pimples. If I use something for oily skin I will have parched face. With the weather getting warmer I have to find a mosturizer that's not too greasy, so I'll go back to a product that I've used before.
PG, I could not have said it better myself.
TW, I'm really, really sorry about your friend. I think the whole thing is just awful!
My PAM for the day: My EFFING tax preparer sent my paperwork (with my w-2s, 1098s, etc attached, ) TO MY OLD ADDRESS, at which I have not lived for ALMOST TWO YEARS! I am worried about identity theft, not having copies of my W-2s and such for the IRS, AND the damned delay in getting my refunds and "stimulus payment" *snicker* I'm really pissed off about this and will not use him again next year. They said they'd send me a new copy tomorrow, but what am I going to do with no W-2s and stuff.
People are idiots!

I really wish the boss would actually do some fucking work. She has all these ideas to implement, and leaves it to me. Me, who only works part-time. There is no one else in the office currently. One worker quit and is not being replaced. The other is off after brain tumor surgery. So now I have to: answer phones, handle walk-ins, do ALL the f'ing intakes, all the referral follow-ups, all the office cleaning, the windows and the life skills classes. How could she possibly find something else for me to do? Oh yes, the rental money is in from the state, so now I have to handle those too -- never mind she did 3 weeks of training on it with the other girl before her surgery and said she would handle it. Yeah right. She fucking handled it by refusing to do it. Bitch!
Seriously, sometimes I don't know why I even bother.
I was going to plan a small graduation party for myself, more of a get together w/friends than anything else. I am seriously not looking for anything. I just wanted to celebrate with my friends. I hate being the center of attention.
My original plan was to have a party in late June. But already I've noticed that my best friend and her BF (who incidently is the guy who is friends with my ex) seem to already be making excuses not to come.
My friend didn't come right out and say that she wouldn't come to my party, but she's already hinting around that between work and classes, she's going to have absolutely NO time next month to socialize. I was planning on having my party on a Saturday evening, but I digress. Then there's my friend's BF whom last time I knew, had plans to go to 2 Mets games with my ex-BF in June. He was complaining because it meant that he'd have to take off a third day from work to go to my party even though he knew about the party before he knew about the Mets' game.
The thing that's irritating me is that I know that people are busy and sometimes have to skip out on social events. But I just feel like I am snubbed a little bit by the people I thought were my friends. Whenever they have an event, I try to make it my business to go.
At this point, I'm just so disgusted and stressed out over everything that has happened these past few months that I just feel like having a small party with just my family there. But I just wonder if I won't feel like I missed out on having something bigger later on.

I don't know, but it sounds like your "friends" are being jerks. If it were me, I'd rather have family so it could be a happy, supportive occasion instead of an opportunity to feel shitty because flakey people don't come through. A real friend would be excited about celebrating your accomplishments.
I'm proud of you, if that means anything!
Oh, I forgot to whine. I'm sick of having pain. I can't even be sympathetic to myself anymore. I just get pissed off. I did a bunch of hand-washing of spring/summer clothes yesterday, tried on dozens of now-too-small clothes and packed them up to be given away, and sorted laundry. Then, I went out last night, watched a hockey game with friends, and played pool (HORRIBLY). I knew I would be sore today, but waking up to that reality still sucked. I should have just taken painkillers with breakfast, but no... I have to pretend to myself that I'll feel fine after a cup of coffee since I'm taking it easy today. Ugh.
So, I took a nap, ate a late lunch, and took the damn pills. Hopefully this day will improve.
I'm also all broody about my relationship - which has been trying at times, as you all know. I am starting to question why I'm even trying. I feel like it shouldn't be this hard. Then again, everything is harder when you have pain or don't feel well. I can't remember the last time I had a good day without pain medication.
My whine.. I have my first dentist appointment in about four years tomorrow. I hate the dentist. I have two chipped teeth and a pile of oral piercings, and I know he's going to harrumph about them. Blargh.
