*primal scream*

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUGH.

Now you.

What are you screaming about?

I am screaming about last several hours, which involved these things:

1) College loan foundation runs my check card as I pay off a hefty sum; calls me after third attempt to say "your card is being rejected, please call your bank." When I call the bank, they say, "hmm. They ran your card for the hefty sum twice, and that's why it got rejected the third time; you're significantly in the red." Need gas and have no money until the loan foundation faxes a request for reversal.

2) Mom injures herself (kind of blechy, behind the spoiler tag)

Spoiler:

A skin tag (the little growths that pop up as we age) tore off and she didn't realize it until the blood had soaked through two pillows.

3) The origin of Mom's recent post-breast-cancer infection revealed a few hours later. (REALLY blechy, behind another spoiler tag.)

Spoiler:

Her tumor was removed three years ago, from one side of her breast. This year, the other side of her breast became infected and extremely painful and we feared that the cancer was back. She's been in a lot of pain and the infection just hasn't gone away.

They removed a bandage today and stuck to it was a bit of surgical thread. "Hmm, that's weird." So they pulled... and pulled... it was FIVE INCHES of F U C K I N G SURGICAL THREAD, working its way out across the length of her breast from the side where she'd had the tumor removed. Her surgeon left it inside her when he closed up the tumor wound.

She said she could feel pulling along from one side of her breast to the other. AAAAAAUGH!

All of this, so great, since she's diabetic and has an effin' autoimmune disease... takes her months to heal a tiny scratch.

Malpractice suits are there for a reason, LS.

gah- no kidding

So sorry to hear that!

Financial institutions SUCK- my bank recently decided I wanted auto-pay on my car loan- problem is I never asked for it nor approved it. So I paid my payment- and they pulled another one. I went through hell with the auto finance people before my banker at my branch simply filed a complaint and got it and all the fees reversed. Later on I got a letter from auto finance saying they would not reverse the payment- what a shame, it's already fixed you dolts!

Hugs!

Sorry to hear about all of this, Heidi.

I just spent an hour at the post office explaining to them for the third time this month that no, I haven't moved. Seems they can't quite understand that so all the checks I was waiting for this week were returned to my clients.

Believe me, I sympathize.

Hope tomorrow is a better day and we will keep your mom in our thoughts.

I'm having a primal sream whist throwing myself a pity party.

My childs father said that when he bought the child a bike, he'd teach him to ride, and get his bike fixed so they could go riding together.
Here we are, a year later. No fixed bike, my mother and I are teaching the child to ride, and thier idea of a day together is playing video games all day, and not changing out of sleepwear or brushing their teeth till 2pm. (At least)

My mom thinks the child is getting heavy, and needs to lose wieght. And its up to ME to make the father own up to this fact. Hell NO.
But somehow, being the only one who leaves home at 7:15 to be at work by 8, gets off at 5, and gets home around 6:30 after picking up said child, I am the one who is supposed to find the time to excersize with the child.
The Dad doesnt see, Hey, I leave my house at 7:15, get home by 4pm, I could have some quality child time. No way... thats too obvious.

Dont even get me started on the fact that he told my mother he'd finish installing the rest of the electrical plugs in the house 16months ago, and has yet to come back! How do I know its 16 months? She keeps telling me.

Oh... AND.. she's daily telling me what is wrong with my choice in men. How they are all the same, have no ambitions in life except making dreams and schemes about money. (etc.)
The auditors are breathing down our necks, anotehr payroll is looming, I need to go to the dentist, eye dr, and ob/gyn, and have no time.
My hair is about to be two inches short, as if will help me feel like I made stressors go away.

I am desperatly in need of a calgon moment, but know damn well I have nothing to complain about compared to LSPE. Doesnt change the fact that I feel like I want someone to take care of ME.

Honey, I wish I could help and beat those student loan folks to the ground. Have a cupcake on me, diet be dammed.

[LSPoorEeyorick]

Ohhh, no, Ponine. I didn't start a pity-LSPE thread! I started a "let's all scream together" thread.

And so, I scream at his dad and your mom in solidarity.

AAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUGH.

[Ponine]

Its not as LSPE thread, I want to beat them because they were stupid, and it would feel good!!!!!
I'm throwing myself a pity party.

In truth, the dept admin aide just walked over to tell me they let someone bend the rules, could I please pay him,.. blah blah... I've had it. I'm infuriuated. And I took it out on her. I apologizied profusely, and the words just came rolling out.
How much the auditors infuriate me, how they need to lay off, that I am terrified of one of them, but they wont back off.............. sigh.
I need a coke. Or a cupcake. Or a pie to throw.

[LSPoorEeyorick]

Excellent, then. I will bring the tatoe chips to your pity party. And shortcake!

Wonderful!

[BarTopDancer]

Gah LSPE!!!!!!!!!

I would call the bank and ask them if there is any way to get any of that money released back to you since you have none and it was the loan companies error. They should have stopped it the first time the company ran that amount twice in a row in such a short period of time.
