I hate snow. More than me hating snow is the fact that my university wants me to drive on unplowed roads just to get to school. If I crash and break a limb, I'm suing. And it's suppose to snow some more this weekend, which may ruin mom-in-law-to-be's superbowl party, which we were really looking forward to. I want summer!!! Me and you both girl!! Ihave been trapped inside for 5days now. ugh!

Mkay.. So this is going to sound very petty, and pretty small compared to your rants. I have this 'friend' (if you even want to call her that now.) and a few months ago I told her I kind of like this guy. Well what did she do, but text my cousin (who is friends with the guy I thought I kinda liked. He is actually how I met him) and tell him she wanted to know everything about this Dakota guy, and that she wanted a picture, and his number. So you know I am going to believe family over a so called friend. So Zack (my cousin) called me and filled me in about all of this. So finally i asked the so-called friend if it was true. She said "no your lying to me. I never told Zack any of this. And he wouldn't tell you I said it either. " So I was pissed for lack of better words. And then she proceeds to tell me that even if i did like him, that I would NEVER do any ting aboutit. SO by then. I was done. She tells Dakota a week before Christmas that she didn't like him like that anymore, and she was dating someone else. But she hoped that they could still be friends. AFTER he had went out and bout her a $40 dollar necklace. Well she still wanted me to come to her New Year's party after she called me a liar. I told her no that I was going to a bonfire. And that maybe we could do something the next week. Well I haven't talked to her since like 4 days after New Year, and she calls me yesterday and says "Nicole. I just don't know what I'm going to do." so I ask her whats wrong, and her Gramma's cancer is back. Well I'm not very good in situations like that, so all I knew to say is "I'm sorry, I'll be praying for her." I didn't here back from her, until a couple of hours ago. and she text me and says "oh BTW guess who I'm dating." I say who, and she send me a picture. Its a guy that I invited to prom 3 years ago. OMfrickinG. The she goes on the tell me crap I already know (I respect our service men and women. it her that i dont.) Like About how he leaves for basic next month. I respect him for that, because that is something that I personally could not do. And about how he goes to church with me. I just told her "Sara, I'm not stupid. I know all of this." UGH!!!

I dont think any rant is petty. if it's something that upsets you, it's not petty. people like that annoy me too!

So my computer has decided to hate the internet; won't let it run at all if I have more than one tab open, and refuses to work at all when I get on this site I have to get on here on my phone and in doing so can't vote on any polls or anything. I know it sounds utterly pathetic but with Nick gone to basic, me just starting to get over a stomach virus and swamped with homework, this board is my getaway so to speak and when I can't get on here on a regular basis I feel disconnected from everything. It really is a family here, and call me crazy but I get upset when I can't stay in touch with y'all.

I've had knee problems ever since I was younger (like 7th grade). It started as tendonitis, then they said it was osgood schlatters, which is something caused by growth spurts (I never had a growth spurt - I'm short!! lol). The pain flairs up when I walk more or when I'm standing for long periods, which isn't good since when I work, I stand for 8 hours. Starting yesterday, I've been getting shooting pains in my knee, where it gets so bad that it about brings tears to my eyes. I hate going to the doctors, especially for something that probably won't just be for a prescription or anything. My bf is nagging me to go to a specialist but ugh. On top of my left knee, the side of my left foot seems like it has cysts and swells up all of the time too. I hate my body lol

Sarah, from one knee problem girl to another- I feel your pain! My knee cap doesn't sit right in the socket (just grew that way) so it will randomly pop in and out of the socket. Usually it's really quick and I barely feel anything, but then there are days where I end up screaming and crying until I can fix it. Needless to say I don't handle pain well. I'm with you on avoiding the doctor, the last thing I want is surgery. Feel better girl! Bodies suck, plain and simple.

The snow has been falling constantly since 6 am this morning...class is not SO important that the university can't cancel ONE day so we all stay safe and don't get in accidents trying to get to class. -_-

Sarah..........let me tell you girl.......GO TO THE DOCTOR........I'll try to make this as short as possible and tell you a lil about me.... I got my one and only job 1 mo after I turned 16. Working at Long John Silvers. I started as cashier and worked my way up to Manager of the store. When I was younger, I didn't have much issue with knees, ankles, etc but as I got older I did. Didn't go to the doctor though. Just kept working. I went to the doctor at about age....35 and was told I had the knees of a 75 year old woman......... Mind you, I worked about 65 hours a week. Sometimes more. All on my feet. Managers don't even get a clock out break so we can sit because we are "salary" we work our rear ends off. Anyway, now I am almost 42. I haven't worked in a year ( as of yesterday ). I quit my job in Feb of 2009 because I could barely walk after being at work over an hour. I have arthritis in both ankles, feet and knees. I also have lots of problems with my left shoulder and I have fibromyalgia. I can't work at all anymore and I hurt all the time. I have a great family and lots of support or I'd be crazy!!! Could any of this been prevented by going to the doctor? Who knows.....maybe or maybe not but if you need to go.......GO, please. It might keep you from being in my position. God Bless and good luck. Tell your hubby I'm on his side!!!!

Thanks both Melissa & Jen. I called an orthopedist in the area on Friday to make an appointment and haven't heard back if they've accepted me as a patient. Guess I'll call again tomorrow. I know that I need to get these things taken care of so they don't get worse. My mom already seems to think I may need surgery, however, I just won't think of that yet.
I don't know if this is a rant so much, but last night when I was trying to fall asleep, I realized that this week last year was when my mom was hospitalized because, in the long run, she needed a liver transplant (which she got on St. Patrick's Day). Today, when I was talking to her, she had a dr's appointment yesterday and heard back today and she's having mild to moderate rejection (on a scale of 1 to 9 it's a 4 or 5). So she's going tomorrow to get a super dose of anti-rejection steroids and such. I don't know how common things like this are or how easily "fixed", but it's just so frustrating.
And then there's this damn snow that we keep getting, but God forbid if my Penn State campus would cancel classes ever. I've been here 5 years and we've only had class cancelled once on Valentine's Day 2007. All other PSU campuses get classes delayed cancelled all the time, but no, not mine. And let's just say, they do a horrible job of cleaning the sidewalks (like I'm assuming most colleges do).

I'm so annoyed with PSU. We have a weather emergency declared downtown, where no cars can park on the streets until the snow stops and the streets are plowed to the curb. Parts of the interstate are closed due to the snow. Yet, they won't cancel classes for the safety of both their students and staff. Only a small fraction of the student population lives on campus. Part of their reasoning is that this isn't a commuter campus like the rest of the branch campuses. It may not be a commuter campus per se, but a lot of students don't live within walking distance and those that due, may have worse walks because the borough hasn't cleaned up. They cancelled Continuing Education classes tonight, which are for adult learns (who obviously commute), yet I have a grad class from 4 -7pm with adult learners who commute and our classes aren't cancelled. It doesn't make any logical sense. The roads are definitely going to be worse by the time I get out but PSU doesn't seem to care. It doesn't help that I'm sick and feel like crap and don't want to go out in blizzard conditions. The snow might not be coming down too fast, but it's super windy and blustery. It's interesting to me that elementary and high schools cancel for cold weather because they don't want the kids standing outside in the weather waiting for the bus for like 5 minutes, yet college can't, when we have to walk through the cold blustery weather for over 15 minutes to get to class on such a big campus. Ugh. -end rant-

Here is my rant for today: I started a job last thursday @ Staffinders(an agency that finds people to work temp jobs) I got a job as the administrative asst. in the company. I originally went into to interview for a Medical records job but they liked me so much they wanted me to work for them. So My interview was mon(02/02) They asked strengths and weakness' in an office setting and I SPEICFICALLY said I am not too familiar with Excel. So they called me 02/03 and said congrats we want you to work with us come in Thurs to start training. awesome right? Okay so thurs my first day (they sent my trainer to another job) worked fri with her, monday she was off again and yesterday he comes to me @ 5 and says I just dont think youre strong enough in Excel its nothing against you but we need someone with more experience. So in the 4 days I had to cancel unemployment, talk to my caseworker and call child support all for nothing. And I had specifically said I was not strong in Excel BUT I am a fast learner. Spent $75 on business clothes all for nothing

grrr...this is kinda a small thing to rant about but im annoyed so i shall rant! okay so I live in PA- and we just got hit with round 2 of the blizzard yesterday, so i've had off from school pretty much all week, but I've been trapped in the house and super bored. My cousin, aunt, and uncle come over tonight to pick up my grandfather (he stays a couple of nights at our house and their house) and my aunt invites me to spend the night at their house. of course i would like to so i could get out of the house which i have been in for the last 2 1/2 days, but why can't I? because my younger brother, who is THIRTEEN, and has been out with friends all day, is coming back here with the same friends and sleeping over so I can't do anything tomorrow because my mom has to work and I have to babysit 3 thirteen year olds! grrrrrrrrrr i swear he is the golden child.... it seems as though my parents bend over backwards for him all the time. Sometimes i feel so underappreciated by him and my parents. i know it sounds a little selfish but i rarely go out with my friends and the one night i get a chance to leave my house (mind you, not to go to the mall or movies or out to dinner but sleep over my cousin's house and spend tomorrow with my cousin and grandfather) and I can't go because it conflicts with his plans. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr wow. that felt good to get off my chest. thanks for listening to my rant.

I am so sick of having a headache ALL THE TIME. The smallest things trigger it...tv, loud people, etc. I get one at least once a day. of course I'm too stubborn to go to the dr. because I feel like it's such a small complaint-doesn't seem like it would be anything serious. I had the same probably about a year ago and I'm pretty sure it was from stress...it seems like that could be the case this time too but my source of stress often comes from the 4 roommates I live with so I can't really do anything about the environment.

Sorry you are going through a rough patch Katy. Hopefully it will turn around soon.
