NotchJohnson 214123 Report post Posted September 19, 2016 My son, his wife and the 5 month old baby going back home after spending 3 months with us. I so enjoyed holding that beautiful baby in my arms any time I could, she is a bundle of joy. I will only see them in December for Christmas. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest n*gu**6 Report post Posted September 20, 2016 When banks screw up... They take a cheque and cashed it, but did not apply to the loan I was paying on. It has been sitting in purgatory for the last 11 days and no one can tell me why. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest n*gu**6 Report post Posted September 23, 2016 The one night where I could not easily slip away, I was needed. Just a devastating blow emotionally to be unable to be there for someone in a time of need. :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest st*****ens**ors Report post Posted September 27, 2016 The lack of anything like a transition period between summer heat requiring air conditioning and freezing cold that requires a lit furnace. I remember hearing about this thing called Autumn years ago... guess it didn't catch on. ;) Additional Comments: And so, to use a board analogy, a client from a decade ago contacts me to say she is no longer happy with the massage I gave her ten years ago (5 year warranty notwithstanding) and would like either a full refund for that massage, OR a partial refund and an entirely NEW massage, which would mean I am paying her for the privilege of massaging her. Or else, she threatens to do all she can to ruin my reputation. She sucks, entitled clients suck, and why is it that the wealthiest clients are often the most irritating? Apologies. Here endeth the rant. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aficionado 993 Report post Posted September 29, 2016 Had to drive a family member to Toronto for a couple appointments, had a few hours to kill and really wanted to see a very special lady for the first time. In spite of planning and communicating for a week, it's not happening because she was unable to contact any of my limited number of references. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meg O'Ryan 266444 Report post Posted October 5, 2016 When someone texts/emails with questions that you answer pretty quickly. No communication for days then finally responds on a day you are clearly off (if they bother to read every freaking ad that says usually Tuesday to Saturday 10-9) Claims to be a high level executive, ya right! If you can't read an ad I would never hire you. Bosses out there, create a fake ad with some very pertinent information, have them read it twice and then quiz them on what they remember. Only the stuff like they want like candy every morning perhaps!? i usually turn off my Meg phone after hours but needed to charge it. Walked by and saw it blinking. it was 11.

Lexy Grace 103697 Report post Posted October 6, 2016 WOW! Where to begin....Receiving an out of the blue email questioning my age, stating I have been 32-34+++ for years LMAO....I am 34 and will be 35 November 11th (1981). I understand why and if a companion may change their age/date of birth (discretion or many other reasons). I don't feel the need to and I state my real age and date of birth, this has also been verified by the Mod here and I'm always willing to show ID to anyone (yes, I have been asked because they thought I was younger). Who is going to add years?? Take a few off but up your age?? Too cute!! It's just a waste of my time when you are actually telling the truth and someone feels the need to write mean spirited emails for whatever reason. Just something else to laugh and shake off!! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
