It Ticks Me Off
 

That Abbie is in so much pain........

It ticks me off that people don't remember about black ice...I watched a woman do a 360 while at an intersection this morning....she almost slamed into me..........

It ticks me off the Julie has so much stress in her life right now....

It ticks me off that Scrabble had to go back to work the min. she got home..

It ticks me off that the stores are not going to order anymore corn blocks because deer season is over....:mad: (some of us just want to feed them, not kill them)

It ticks me off that the lady at Curves was complaining about how ill she felt...while working out on the machines

What Alffe said.

yep, what alffe said.

Hehehe. I'll fourth that motion! :mad: Grrrrrr

And I'll add a tick-off of my own. It ticks me off that Lowe's has decided to change the insurance provider for all their employees. And the new plan has absolutely no coverage for pain meds, narcotic or not. Which could make about a five-thousand dollar a year difference to me!!! :mad: another Grrrrrr

ditto for me for what everyone said...and add on to what idealist said...

although I don't work for Lowe's...I do play one that works for one on TV(just kidding)...is that all these big companies are doing it...

yet, the head and top brass are making soooo much money...that they are NOT willing to share it with their employees...it really is sickening...makes me wonder, what the heckit are unions for???

anyways, just my own little rant...

......Michael losing another book! Good Lord, how can you be homeschooled and lose a book????

Have you looked on the kitchen table? I lose everything on our kitchen table and that really ticks Mr.Alffe off...........;)

It ticks me off that yet another family will have to go thru the agony of losing a loved one to suicide....I got a phone call late last night from one of our Deacons...asking me if I would talk to the mother of a 39 yr. old man who succeeded in killing himself Sunday night....:(

oh alffe.....:Sob:

please take care of you alffe.

Thank you Curious..I'm alright. At Curves I'm known as The Mayonaise Lady and at our church, I'm thought of as "the Suicide lady". :confused:

I want to help, want to give back something if I can. And it doesn't really tick me off...I just feel so awful for this woman. :(

just having somebody who has been there..who will listen. it's a lot alffe.

It just ticks me off when my spouse drives my car and brings it back with no gas
Then when i told him it needed gas yesterday he said.He will get it later...
I said :Well when is later??
I need gas now!!I wont have enough to take our girl to school tomorrow.So he got really angry and stomped off to go get some!
Now had i went and got it myself and handed him the receipt.He would have yelled at me for spending money!!
He just ticks me off!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes you can't live with them, and you can't live without them! :confused: (((Kell)))

I am struggling with something this morning.

It's a big *WHY???*

On a scale of things it's probably insignificent to most, but someone stole my daughter's car yesterday from a shopping car park. A week after her 18th birthday she goes in to get her hair cut and came out to get in her car and it was not there. She's lost her grandmother, a kidney, and now her much loved little car all in the space of 11 months and she's grieving as if she's lost a person. Now we have no car. It's gone.

What ticks me off is this... she waited for an hour for a security guard to come to her while she stood in this car park where her car had been just a couple of hours earlier. He never came.

What also ticks me off is this... We contacted the police beat in the shopping centre and they said they were not being paid overtime and it was time to go home so we needed to contact a different station.

What ticks me off is this... That after actually making contact with a 4th police station, we were totally shocked that they didn't care. That they acted so nonchalantly and as if it was nothing. Like oh well, there goes another one.

What ticks me off is the circumstances of this world that lead my beautiful daughter to say some of the really sad things she said to me last night. Now this morning she's yet to wake up to an empty garage. Like I said, it's just a thing, right? No, it's more than a thing, believe me. It's a life changing experience and for so many reasons that I'll just not go into.

Well, now that's off my chest... off to have a better day hopefully.

:grouphug:

:eek:

oh man lara....

i'm not even sure what to say. your poor sweet girl. :( this is not one of those life lessons she should have had to learn.

will insurance cover any of it?

not that it compares at all, but my son and other team mates of his have lost so much soccer gear it is pathetic. the coaches and the school won't do a thing. not even the police.

:hug: :hug: pass one of these on to your sweety. and a happy late birthday from texas.

aaawww Lara
I'm so sorry{{{{Bighugs}}}}
We had a car stolen a few years ago...It makes you feel so violated...

:hug: Oh, Lara - what a a horrible, painful year. I am so sorry. I hope it gets easier and much, much better.
Love and prayer to you and your daughter --

Love and hugs to Lara and daughter.

Sometimes, I hate the police. It's things like this that give them such of a bad name...

I think the Universe must have heard what I was saying this morning. I was crying and upset when I posted messages this morning.

You wouldn't read about it, they found the car.

We had to get a lift. It was found in some yuk suburb of a city about 100 kilometres away. A police officer found it there in the middle of the night. He was doing patrol. The area is one that is somewhat renowned for breakins and thefts etc.. They phoned here just after I got offline this morning. It was towed to a holding yard, then we had to wait for it to be fingerprinted. We were expecting the worst, but the damage isn't so bad I suppose. At least we have the car back. They bent everything around the steering column and snapped some huge part that connects the ignition switch to the steering column. I know the name of it but just can't think of it at the moment. They stole about 100 cds that she had in a special folder in the glove box, no cases, just the cds. They've broken the locks. They did a few other things including something to the immobilizer.

Anyway, basically it's back. No insurance. Insurance ran out and with all the surgeries and medical procedures the past 8 months, we couldn't afford the full insurance, so had no fire and theft at all. That will be rectified as soon as the car is fixed I guess. Paying out the $1500 to get it fully insured again would have been much cheaper than what we're facing now... but it's back. It's not damaged on the outside, apart from the locks... which is totally remarkable. The inside is a mess. They also wrecked the sunroof, forgot about that, but heck, it's back. They even put petrol in the thing. Probably did a drive through runner though I suspect. If they put petrol/gas in the car, it means they'd be caught under surveillance camera somewhere, even if they did a runner.

ugh, what a nightmare. I know it's just a *thing* but it sent us spiralling into reactive depression I swear... both of us. Not kidding. Sometimes things just pile up and up and wham, can't take anymore, and when I heard my daughter talking the way she was last night, it scared me. It scared me because although my life was very difficult from early childhood, I lived in a different age, a different time, where we actually were able to leave the doors open and the windows open and we were safe. Now, it's different and she feels as if she's a little ant in a giant universe and when my daughter gets like that she is scared. She's feeling much better now, and so am I, but I've lived all my life without knowing anyone who's had a car totally stolen like that.

You won't believe this, but it's true. On the way back home just now in quite heavy traffic, stopped at the lights, and this guy in the car next to us, total stranger, was gesturing us to wind down the window. He said "Don't wanna buy a plasma tv and a *brandname* stereo do ya?" Person driving us home was on the ball and said "wow, sounds great, where'd you get it" and the guy replied "your neighbour". Talk about a scary freaking world. arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggh

We're covered in fingerprinting powder and the car is all dirty and feels violated, but it's back and it can be fixed and we can go out again when it is to get places and carry the wheelchair in the boot and all the rest.

Oh what a day. Thankyou all for caring. I'm sorry if I sound a little spaced out, but it's been an horrid day.

*sigh

p.s. the thing about the security officer and the police officers... you know what gets to me. What an awful job that would be. It's still no excuse for the way the officers acted and I'm sure they're not all like that. They apparently lost 2 cars from that same carpark yesterday and they were both found 100 k away in the same suburb. hmmnnn They sounded so used to dealing with all this type of thing as if it was barely important, and like I said, in the scheme of things, it's nowhere near as important as some other things. I find it just so very sad that people go out of their way to harm others and steal from others and all of that. Some kid stealing a car from another kid. What's with that?

I'm just thankful that it wasn't taken to some backyard garage somewhere and disassembled in and hour and sold off for parts. That's what usually happens. The fact we got this type of car back is nothing short of amazing.

OK, I'll stop now. Had to let it all out.

OMG. I just looked at another forum I write on (not NT) and I have received a pm from someone saying "You just caught my eye that you have 666 posts. Please pray that you won't be affected by demonic forces. I will pray for you.

Is it the moon or something??? Why would someone say that, I don't even believe in demonic forces :confused: Is that how some people are being nice to me or something. I just don't understand this at all. :(

(((Lara))) First - I'm SO very happy that your daughter's car is back and can be fixed .... that's just wonderful. :D Let's hope your "upswing" continues at full pace. :grouphug: Around here too ...... a stolen car is rarely seen again.

The way I see it ... The 666 thing -- to be completely ignored -- is from the Revelations book of the New Testament in the Bible. In some interpretations, it's a number that will mark the "devil" when he comes. So, some people watch for that number all the time ...... if you count 666 cracks in a sidewalk - oooooooooooo - watch out !! If your dog is 666 days old - now what??
Some day that number will have real meaning -- today it doesn't. And today I hope you have 667 postings and the person who sent you the PM can relax :p

Lara,
i'm so glad your daughter got her car back. When we first got our van it was taken from a parking lot while my daughter and i were shopping. It was found the next day un harmed, but was full of used condoms and such... YUK! Needless to say we did some serious cleaning before we used it again.
I hope you guys can get your car up and running soon.
I know some people take the number 666 very seriously, like Jingle said, it has to do with the book of revelation in the Bible. Its the mark of the beast.
Take care and please just ignore that remark about demonic forces. sigh.....

:hug:

Yea Lara. I'm so happy that your daughter got her car back.

I know what you mean about the police having an awful job to do. It bothers me when they fall into that uncaring mode. Our house and many others on the street got paintballed last week. Minor in the scheme of things, but when you look at the fact that it was a parent driving them around and our neighbor got the license number, you'd think they'd do something, but alas, they couldn't care less. We solve the crime, they won't go after them.

Thanks everyone. Very much appreciated. Sometimes I feel so alone with all this stuff called life. :rolleyes: I'm just ignoring the 6 stuff. I think the person had been watching the number of posts waiting for it to get to that. I added a couple of posts so it doesn't worry them any longer, not for me. I'm thinking it might be a situation where some scrupulosity/obsession is involved. At first it kinda freaked me out, but I think in their own mind and own way they were trying to be kind.

julie, I totally understand what you're saying. That's a shocking thing to do to people's property. Paintballing would be worse than graffiti. ugh, hope you were able to get it all off.

oh goofy, what a gross thing to happen. Daughter and I are a bit oc about germs and things and the inside of the car felt really really really dirty. Actually it was dirty with fingerprint dust... gosh, they used a lot, it is everywhere, but not just that sort of dirt, it felt really gross too. It'll take a lot of cleaning once it's all fixed to make it feel like it did before. Need to get all the bad energy out of it... we could feel that bad energy just sitting in it to see what was damaged.

thanks for caring everyone.

:grouphug:

We still can't believe it wasn't pulled apart or burnt out or something. sheesh

Wow, don't get on the computer for a day and look what I miss!

((Lara)) I'm so sorry you had to go through this. I'm tellin ya, I'd be ripping a few new...well, I'd be kickin some butt in regards to the lack of attention from the police.

And oh PUHLEEZE with the 666th post thing! Good lord. Don't give that another thought!

Hi Lara,
So sorry about what happened to your daughter's car. I don't know what I would do if that happened to me! I am just glad you got it back in one piece. And about the 666 thing. I thought it was interesting last month when my odometer hit 66,666. I used to have a friend in high school whose phone number started with 666 and she told me so many people told her they wouldn't call her because of it. I think its just severe religious superstitions. A bit silly, if you ask me.

My tick-offs : I am ticked off about school. I am stressed out with a constant knot in my stomach because I have no idea where I will be, what school I am going to next fall. I don't know what I want to be "when I grow up" and why all this is so complicated.
I am ticked off that it is so difficult to get a fulltime job with a college degree. I am ticked off that school is so expensive and I have to live paycheck to paycheck. I am ticked off that I have to fill out 2 more applications, write new personal statements, and get 2 more letters of recommendations after I did all that last semester, simply for a new "Scholarship APplication." Couldn't they have combined the applications and used the same letters and statements? Why must it be so complicated? I am ticked off that my father doesn't want me to go to one of the 2 schools and is being close-minded. It ticks me off that I am so close to finishing school but sooo far away from doing what I really want to do. It ticks me off that I feel very lost and confused and there is no advisor who can help me figure it all out. It ticks me off that my brother could do without any problem.

It ticks me off that I have "lost" so many online friends from SOS and SG and that I may never find again.

*Insurance companies..... or at least the one we have REALLY ticks me off.
*Drama.... i get so sick of it....
*when you go the bathroom at night and the person before you has used up all the tp and hasn't replaced the empty cardboard with another roll:rolleyes:
*It ticks me off when i'm in the middle of baking something and find out somebody has eaten or used up an ingredient i need for my recipe.
*It ticks me off that several people i know have lost or are dealing with very sick pets because of the poision they found in the food.
*people who are in charge and have let their "power" go to their head.
*people who stick their noses into others peoples business and then cause problems while doing so....
*liars and gossips......they usually go hand in hand......


i guess i'm feeling a bit overwhelmed today........:(

Amen to that goofy.

It ticks me off that a social worker is still at his job in Ottumwa, Iowa. The dip took his computer in for some repair, I believe at Best Buy, and the workers discovered all kinds of porn on it of children AND animals and pictures of HIM with animals. And yet he is STILL on the job while they investigate. What IS the rationale behind that.

It ticks me off that I went to our best feed store here, which sells cat and dog food, that they STILL had a few questionable items on their shelves!

It ticks me off that a man in Oskaloosa, mad at his girlfriend (who was not home at the time), AND babysitting her 2 daughters under the age of 14, twice beat their black lab with a frying pan to the point its surgeries have come to $6000 thus far. But people from across the US have donated $14,000 so far. Broke his teeth out, broke his femur and numerous other horribleness. And the charges they have against him are primarily for child endangerment. Which of course I understand.

It ticks me off that so many soldiers are having mental problems some to the point of suicide from the 'war' we're fighting.

It ticks me off that a wheel-chair bound woman in california who was prescribed marijuana by her doctor for pain and lack of appetite was arrested for possession of said marijuana.

It ticks me off that I'm ticked off and going down hill with the tick offs so I better stop while I'm behind. :o

amen to what Doody said

and i'm still ticked off today.....
It ticks me off that a hospital here locally put a breathing tube down a babys throat and missed and it went into its stomach and he couldn't breath for 25 minutes, now he's 95% brain dead...:mad:
He is 2 months old and his parents are deciding if they should take him off life support.... This baby was in the ER!!!!!! how could they not have known he was not breathing in the ER!!!!! GRRRRRRR his pediatrician is the one who came in and noticed it wasn't in the right place..... anyway this couple goes to our church.... so sad.....

No wonder you're ticked off ! I'm sick to hear this. (((Goofy)))

I wonder just how often hospitals make mistakes! It would probably shock us all if we knew....Our grandson Matthew went in for a simply adnoidectomy and they overdosed him..he was 8.

I'm so sorry Goofy.

(((Goofy))) That's just godawful, unimaginable. How can humans make such hideous errors.

I'm STILL extremely ticked off at the mean man who beat Kane the black lab with a frying pan in Oskaloosa, Iowa. AND they are letting the 2 little girls return to his home who witnessed the beatings and told their father that their mother's boyfriend threatens them as well. What IS wrong with that human services people!
