My neighbor's dog has separation anxiety, and the neighbors are NEVER home. So we get to listen to his whimpering, barking, scratching, and overall obnoxious-ness for hours at a time. I feel so bad for the dog. But i also feel bad for us and our animals listening to that all day, evwry day. I want to report them, but I'm afraid they'll turn him into a shelter if I do.
Other people's life events keep raining on my parade. At first, we were planning to announce to family on Easter since everyone would already be together. Several weeks ago my uncle passed after a long illness and because he was being cremated and to cut down on family having to travel twice, they decided to do the funeral ON Easter.
Since we didn't want to be all 'hey, listen to our happy news' during a funeral, we were going to do it this weekend during a smaller family dinner. That turned into a big celebration for another family member who just got offered a job on St. Croix.
Can't I have one freaking day where there's not something else happening and it can be all about me?

I wonder if you've lost anyone close to you. I would have been heartbroken, at the funerals of my mom and grandparents, to hear that a cousin was pissed off because they couldn't do a baby announcement.
Your news will keep. Your family just lost a dear loved one. Compassion is more important than seeking attention.
Wow @FemShep I certainly didn't mean to offend anyone. You have no idea what losses I've experienced or if my uncle's death was difficult for me. My comment was more tongue in cheek than serious, and I added this to the 'bitch fest' because I'm certainly not going to bitch about it anywhere else. I absolutely know my news will keep and if I was all about seeking attention I would be moving forward with the Easter announcement that we had planned or I would have just made myself the center of attention last weekend.

it's not Monday but my electricity went out about an hour ago (typical tanzania) except its currently the hottest time of the day (4pm) and it's like 95 degrees. I'm melting. I took a freezing cold shower 10 minutes ago and I'm already melting all over again. And it's too hot to eat which is making me nauseous becauae I'm hungry.
Mostly I just needed to whine and DH isn't home...
