Say Anything.
'Say Anything' is a John Cusak/Cameron Crowe 1989 teen flick. ' A noble underachiever and a beautiful valedictorian fall in love the summer before she goes off to college.' This is actually not what this thread is about, but the message is the same.
Actually no it isn't, I just like imdb.com and the title sounded interesting. /snort
This is not necessarily a vent thread - far from it. This is about saying anything - weather, the bird outside your work window, the fundamental differences between Mormons and catholics, how Law and Order Criminal Intent doesn't get the props it deserves, that I always forget whether it's 'it's' or 'its', that my daughter has a beautiful smile and the first guy that breaks her heart - I'm breaking his knees...it's about anything.
So, say anything.
My sister got it into her head a week or so ago that, since she won't be able to get a new kitchen in her own house, that she'd repaint ours.
So instead of washing and sanding the walls (keep in mind, I have two and a half indoor smokers) she just painted right over it.
And she also decided that the tiny little lamp over our stove wasn't good enough, so tore it off the wall, and bought us a new one... HOwever due to the fact that my house is Older Than Fuck(TM) and the people who worked on it/built it were Lazy Ass Mother Fuckers(TM) my kitchen was built Fucking A Wrong (CR).
So after drilling and cutting through over an inch of drywall and actual Hard Fucking Wood (yessirree bob) we have no way of re-wiring the existing lamp to where my sister wants and talked my mom into wanting it, outside of carving a channel through the drywall.
We are on our 8th day of takeout.
And since everything got rearranged in the kitchen, the cats went nuts for a day, until my sister got into her little Pea Fucking Brain that it would be a good idea to get one of those huge rubbermaid totes, cut a hole in the side, and leave it covered, so:
1 - the cats won't get litter everywhere
2 - it doesn't smell as bad.
However, this goes back to my first statement of this post - the cats HATE IT with a passion, no, more than a passion, a fucking Fuck You of a Shitty Stank Ass of a Shitty Pile of Stinky Shit Fuck Passion, and aren't covering their crap.
Put it back the way it fucking was, because the only person who is enjoying this whole process is the one who doesn't fucking live here.
Why not just tell her no?
A cat's ultimate Fuck You: not covering their stanky ass shit.
..... while eating your dinner.
What the hell are you (your sister) drilling with? A drill is made to go through wood and half an inch isn't much, I could drill through 5/8 drywall with my finger and some spit
It's not so much the thickness as the angles needed, and it won't happen.
this is just kindergarten, Ive got 12 more years of this. awesome. WTS: Class clown with bad temper and destructive tendancies!
In first grade, I was seated away from the class with another girl in an "accelerated study" where we finished the various workbooks months ahead of the rest of the class.
Sadly, it wasn't until I was in 4th grade that I was tested for the Gifted&Talented program, which had only just been created.
But these days, schools should be prepared for this. Talk to the teacher to see if there's anything she can suggest.
I'm going to go all GI JOE here, but having an experienced teacher is half the battle, yo.
I'm not trying to be difficult, but that sounds like letting their feelings dictate your actions.
Rebels marching in lockstep! Doing something because of somebody else is conforming to their orders no matter how you look at it, even if you are doing the exact opposite of what they want you to do. Fuck them; it's your name too. Maybe they should be made to change theirs for not being worthy of it.
It makes me want to put him in private school so then I can know Im paying for those teachers to have patience and pay attention and have smaller class rooms. My kid hates school, he hated preschool too. Who hates preschool?! its naps and snacks cripes. Can I have naps and snacks at work? (well I do get snacks but id like naps)
PS. Jet, you dont have to change who you are for them and thats what changing your name is. Its cheaper to get a hair cut if you want to change something =) Plus doesnt it complicate things when you do seek to stay in canada? Theyll want to know you changed alias's and ect.
