Headache, stuffy nose, upset tummy. (Not to mention my employment-- or lack thereof-- issues.) I could use a back rub too. :(

3. Did you say back rub?
It could be worse...a backrub in the shower from Bill O'Reilly and his loofah mitts would be worse than no back rub at all.

9. That sounds good.
Yeah, I'm neutral really though for the most part, but I'm divorcing a hardcore Yankee fan, so I'm only snickering a little internally. :P

18. I think so.
My experiences with "religion" throughout my life is rather a mixed bag, but I do believe that there's something more a powerful and intelligent out there than me that has a better purpose (or some similar benevolent intentions) in mind for me. :) Hope so anyway.

21. pat, pat, pat (on the head), poor baby.
Have a nice hot cup of herbal tea and snuggle up in your favorite warm blanky. You'll feel better in the morning.

27. Kind of complex (but not really).
This sort of sums it up, but basically, we're splitting up, his income just covers the bills around here already (I know because I do them) and the job didn't pay enough to off set daycare costs and allow me to really support myself, so basically, until I get my nursing degree, I have no choice but to work an evening shift job which has not yet been found. Here's a whine-fest I wrote in another post: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=2468514#2468662

Just the practicalities of life right now (balancing my needs with that of the children's) with a minor cold on top of it.

26. I hope you're feeling better this afternoon!
Don't worry about the employment issues, you don't need the extra stress. It'll take time to find something good, so relax and take heart that you'll be a great fit when you finally do land something.

33. Thanks.
It could be worse. I do have a house of my own, a warm bed, food to eat, and love most of the people I live with (and the other one, we can at least tolerate each other), so it could be worse. I know something right will eventually work out, it's just frustrating in the meantime. Not easy, but I'm trying to do all this as easily and unselfishly as possible anyway. :)

29. You’re all assholes !!!!!!
When you occasionally have a really bad day, and you just need to take it out on someone, don't take it out on someone you know, take it out on someone you don't know.

It all started one day when I was sitting at my desk and remembered a phone call I had forgotten to make. I found the number and dialed it. A man answered, saying, "Hello." I politely said, "This is Chris. May I please speak with Robin Carter? " Suddenly, the phone was slammed down on me.

I couldn't believe that anyone could be so rude.

I tracked down Robin's correct number and called her. I had transposed the last two digits of her phone number. After hanging up with her, I decided to call the 'wrong' number again. When the same guy answered the phone, I yelled, "You're an asshole!" and hung up. I wrote his number down with the word 'asshole' next to it, and put it in my desk drawer.

Every couple of weeks, when I was paying bills or had a really bad day, I'd call him up and yell, "You're an asshole!" It always cheered me up. When Caller ID came to our area, I thought my therapeutic 'asshole' calling would have to stop. So, I called his number and said, "Hi, this is John Smith from the Telephone Company. I'm just calling to see if you're interested in the Caller ID program?" He yelled, "NO!" and slammed the phone down.

I quickly called him back and said, "That's because you're an asshole!"

One day I was at the store, getting ready to pull into a parking spot. Some guy in a black BMW cut me off and pulled into the spot I had patiently waited for. I hit the horn and yelled that I had been waiting for the spot. The idiot ignored me. I noticed a "For Sale" sign in his car window, so I wrote down his number.

A couple of days later, right after calling the first asshole, ( I had his number on speed dial ), I thought I had better call the BMW asshole, too.

I said, "Is this the man with the black BMW for sale?"

"Yes, it is."

"Can you tell me where I can see it?"

"Yes, I live at1802 West 34th Street. It's a yellow house, and the car's parked right out in front."

"What's your name?" I asked.

"My name is Don Hansen," he said.

"When's a good time to catch you, Don?"

"I'm home every evening after five."

"Listen,Don, can I tell you something?"

"Yes?"

Don, you're an asshole." Then I hung up, and added his number to my speed dial, too. Now, when I had a problem, I had two assholes to call. But after several months of calling them, it wasn't as enjoyable as it used to be. So, I came up with an idea. I called Asshole #1.
"Hello."

"You're an asshole!" (But I didn't hang up.)

"Are you still there?" he asked.

"Yeah," I said.

"Stop calling me," he screamed.

"Make me," I said.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"My name is Don Hansen."

"Yeah? Where do you live?"

"Asshole, I live at1802 West 34th Street, a yellow house, with my black Beamer parked in front."

He said, "I'm coming over right now, Don. And you had better start saying your prayers."

I said, "Yeah, like I'm really scared, asshole."

Then I called Asshole #2.

"Hello?" he said.

"Hello, asshole," I said.

He yelled, "If I ever find out who you are!"

"You'll what?" I said.

"I'll kick your ass," he exclaimed.

I answered, "Well, asshole, here's your chance. I'm coming over right now."

Then I hung up and immediately called the police, saying that I lived at 1802 West 34th Street, and that I was on my way over there to kill my gay lover.

Then I called Channel 3 News about the gang war going down on West 34th Street.

I quickly got into my car and headed over to 34th street. There I saw two assholes beating the crap out of each other in front of six squad cars, a police helicopter, and a news crew.

NOW, I feel better. Anger management really works!
