Reasons to frown

Ok, so we have a smiling thread. This thread is for all of the little dumb things that make you frown, or angry, or sad, etc., etc.
I'll start. I had chili for lunch today. I brought some crackers for the chili and a banana for breakfast. THE CRACKERS ABSORBED THE BANANA FLAVOR THROUGH THE BAG, SO I HAD BANANA FLAVORED CHILI FOR LUNCH! >:(
Dammit! I hate it when the icecream man comes down my street. He's freakin' creepy!
Edit: and another reason to frown, or at least be irked, is that new reason to smile thread. It needs to go away because I keep accidentally clidking it and then realizing I'm in the wrong thread. Grrrr!

I've been doing that, too. :/

Tea hee hee :>
two weeks ago today, my Nana went into hospital to have an x ray done on her leg as she was having more and more pain and difficulty with mobility.
Tuesday: x ray showed she had a secondary cancer tumour on her leg
Wednesday: while trying to move her from her bed to go for another scan, she snapped her femur
Thursday: she went under general anaesthesia and had a titanium rod inserted in her leg for support
Friday: she was recovering well from the operation but experiencing paranoia and hallucinations, especially over night
Saturday: recovery was still going really well, till we were called back into the hospital around 10pm as her condition was rapidly deteriorating. We found out around 2am that she had suffered a major heart attack, as well as having infection in her lungs, and one partially collapsed lung. I stayed by her side, holding her hand, from Saturday night through till Monday night, when after 65+ hours without sleep, I went home for a few hours, and finally got changed out of the clothes I had been wearing since 6am Saturday...
Tuesday morning she slipped away.
Since then I have been helping my parents organise a funeral for the Nana we thought we still had at least months, if not longer, left to enjoy.
I miss her so so much, and though the last two weeks have been the toughest I've ever had, I don't feel like it's going to get much easier...
((( oww )))
I'm so sorry, oww. From the way you wrote about her in past posts I could read how much you loved her. Having lost my grandma last December, I can say for me, it doesn't get easier, really, but after a while you can think of the good times and smile instead of cry. Your grandma sounded like an absolutely wonderful woman.
I'm so sorry, oww.
RTF: An extremely passive-agressive PM from a person who never posts on the forums, criticising me for being critical of others and snide and etc. etc. Never heard of her, and yet it's OK for her Interknife me for my percieved "anger" and "ill manners." Said person has a whole 18 posts, none of which on the forums.
She accuses me of "attacking anyone who makes a mistake".
Really? And you would know this how?
lol @ "interknife"

Yeah, I made that one up. It describes it. I am tempted to post the message here, just to see what y'all think...but would that be feeding an angry noob?
That's awesome, yabbit!
My Profile Guess: late teens / early 20s female (no older than 22)
Does the person's profile allow you to tell if I'm right?
Sorry Oww. I lost my mom to pancreatic cancer several years ago. It is never easy but in time the pain does fade. There are days I still miss her. She was really into trying new food and I still almost send her links to recipes here even though she was an omni. Now though, usually I end up smiling instead of crying. I wish I could come and just sit with you for a bit. Let you tell me the good stories as you feel like it. She must have been something else.
Yabbit, Although I have only been here a few months, I have concidered anything "negative" you said as humor. You would fit in well with my family. then I saw your discussion of MASH. Well, that explains it. Your critic has no clue on how your humor works. Heads up! She does not deserve your attention.
((((Dear oww)))) I am thinking of you and your family during this difficult time. Your Nana appeared to be such a wonderfully fun and beautiful woman. I hope your grief and sadness soon turns to fond memories of the woman you loved so dearly.
That's awesome, yabbit!

I erased the original message from my VW inbox, and the "search member" function doesn't work if all you have is a username (which I do still have), so I can't check back now. But I did look before, and yes, female, but from the pic I would guess older than 22.
Here's what she said:
Subject: I wish you peace and happiness
I sincerely hope you find what it is you are searching for in your life.
You seem to have an attitude with anyone who makes a mistake. Humans make mistakes. A person can learn from those mistakes if they are pointed out with love and graciousness
rather than ill-placed humor and anger. Administrators can correct mistakes if they are pointed out in a NON-threatening way. I have now witnessed TWO postings of yours where you either attack the poster
or simply point out the obvious issue at hand and make a snide remark rather than try and positively CORRECT the issue.
No, dear, you don't wish me "peace and happiness." You wish me shame and embarassment. That's why you PMd a total stranger to Interknife them. For one recipe reviewt you happen to disagree with.
And the irony of messaging a stranger with a PA note about their supposed horrible attitude, with that subject line, is totally lost on you. Because, you know, being snide to the snide always makes you superior to them, doesn't it?
Particularly if you make your point in CAPS LOCK. ::)
the irony... it hurts.
i don't get it - you take issue with anyone who has made a mistake? granted i don't keep up with all the posts on here, but when has this happened?
huh.
