So, who is sick of ice and cold and snow? Meeeee!Who has a bad cold and sneezes all day at work? Meeee!
Who doesn't think Hobbes is the cutest thing ever? Graaaaace!
Who is feeling sorry for herself/himself? .......uh....all of us?
Ozark Mountain Cats requested Whiny Wednesday where we can all unload a bit on what is bothering us these days. While the weather is getting some of us down, there may be other, less obvious things in our lives that have our undies in a bunch. Why not share those miseries and let us all be done with them once and for all.
Leave a comment and unload, my friends. We are amongst friends who support, care, and send an internet pat on the back. And while we are not psychologists or doctors, let's keep the complaints light-hearted---I can't be any more miserable than I already am with this damn cold, okay?
I shall start us off:
Here's my bummer:
This whole being sick AND having hot flashes at the same time. I can't figure out if I have a fever or not. I'm like a broken thermometer--burning up one minute, freezing the next. Makes sleeping very interesting because I have the covers over my chest, but the rest of my body is out from under them. I'm a mess.
But on the plus side:
Irene says "Bless you" each and every time I sneeze at work. And being that I sneeze like a cabillion times a day lately, poor Irene has got to be on her toes. Girlfriend doesn't miss a one--I love that about her.
Okay, your turn.....

Grace looks pretty bitter in that pic.
My complaint - I don't have an Irene. Instead, I sit near someone that I like to call "Hotcuppacrazy". This is somoeone with a demeanor that indicates that they'd sooner keep you in a well and eventually skin you than EVER say "bless you". In fact, it actually complained that I sneeze too loud.
Poor Grace! Does Hobbes ruin her good times, just like Harley does to me? I think so. The best way to deal with that is to growl like a siren.
VERY sick of the snow and ice indeed! I have lucked out with not getting a cold (knock on wood). I like Whiny Wednesday ~ that is a good idea!!
So sorry about the flashes ~ sigh ~ it really does suck doesn't it???
Get well Lin!
xo Catherine
My whine - city drivers who have no concept of the Rules of the Road.
Good Part - Only have to deal with them 3 days a week.
Anita's Mom
Haha...Whiny Wednesday!!
I am POd right now cause my son didn't get a part in the musical. Last semester in HS, his fav musical, and the boytch of a teacher can't even let him sing Grease Lightning. I'm going to rip her a new one!!
Grace! Love that face!
I could whine about the wind here--very strong and the fence in the back yard is not.
Hope you feel better soooooooooon!
Crabby here 'cause I can't walk dogs today at the shelter--too cold and icy.
Good part is I can play inside with the puppys and spoil the cats without feeling guilty about not taking the dogs outside.

Lesseee.....we have a wind chill here of minus nipples and I now work sort of a 'bridge' shift...most days 2pm-10pm. Which is fine, except that when I start work five hours after most people at the courthouse there are no parking spaces. So I have to circle the block looking for a space and then walk in the frigid wind to the building. It'd be nice if there were a couple of reserved parking spaces for the mid shifters. We only work at 911. Its not like its important that we get in there and do our job or anything.
On the plus side I just gave myself a gorgeous purple manicure. I believe I will combat this recent rash of crap weather by working my way through all my brightest and most obnoxious colors. I have enough to get me to spring.
All I can say is I'M SICK OF GOING TO WORK!
Whiny Wednesday...I like it :D
Grace, what a face. You remind me of my cat when he sees the dog!
Gripe: The JOB. End of gripe. If I go into any details, my comment will be deleted because it'll be too long and TOO whiny ;)
Good part: I'm otta here the end of March! WOO HOO!!
It's always nice having someone to bless you when you sneeze. Heck, I'll take all the blessings I can get!
I hope you feel better soon, Lin!Stay warm!!
Hugs,
Jen
All I ever do is whine - or kvetch as we say back in my home town but as cold as it might be today THE SUN IS SHINING TO BEAT THE BAND YAY!
My five minutes worth of typing a comment just disappeared.
So in the meantime...
Bless You!!!!!
There should be a default bless you level where it's just assumed that she said it:)
To contribute to the whining, I'm SICK of having to alternate typing with one or the other hands because the other one is under my butt getting warm. I've got raynaud's syndrome- yay! (the treatment is limit your exposure to the cold- um, ok, so I don't keep my hands in the freezer, but, it still sucks!)
My whine: Please fellow employees I have a huge project to finish, I do not need to know at this moment about your IMMEDIATE emergency concerning how your virus protection will run out this week.
Priorities people.
I got nothin'.
I would like to whine about all of the unappreciative dinks in my office who not once say thank you or even excuse me when they sneeze and I ask God to bless them. And when I sneeze and say excuse me, no one is ever asking anyone to bless me. Do they want me to die or something? I read somewhere that the blessing thing arose because when you sneeze your heart actually stops beating ever so briefly. I don't know if that is true or not - but I don't want to die from sneezing and not have been blessed in the process.
I am tired of not seeing the sun.
I had to answer meeee to the first 2 questions you asked (I Love Hobbes so that was definitely not me). I hope it warms up soon.
Bless you!
No whines today:)
Bless you!
Smokey and Deva's mum.
Grace's fur is so pretty! You're scaring me with this meno talk, you know...
Love that picture of Grace.
I hardly know where to begin with my whining. I'm sick of being cold and wearing 2 layers of clothes. I'm sick of going to work and spending all my time doing things I don't want to do, making money that pays for things I don't want to pay for. Yep that about covers it :)
Sickness needs grapefruit seed extract. Hot flashes need soy.
Now if you don't mind I need to go layer up in more wool...even I can't manage to muster up a hot flash in these fridig temps.
Oh gosh! I don't miss those years of always being the wrong temperature AT ALL!
DG--Oh, that is ugly. I'm sorry you don't have an Irene either. That must make for very long days at work.
Daisy--Hobbes ruins lots of things for Grace, including nabbing Mom's lap far too often and the basket by the fire. There are lots of siren noises here!
Catherine--I think you have more snow and ice than me, so you can whine about it. Do you think it will EVER melt??? I'm guessing around July.
Anita's Mom--I hear ya, pally. 2 words: Cicero Ave. There is some creative driving going on there on my way to and from work. Ugh.
Diana--Oh, I'd be MAD too! In fact, I'm mad for him!!! That is a rotten thing to do. Do they really have enough boys to spare yours??? I thought they were always looking for strong males in the musical. Their loss, I say. Now I'm definitely not going to see it! In fact, I demand WE ALL boycott that show!
Betty--Oh, that is NOT a good combination, Betty. I hope your fence wins the battle.
Phyl--Well, I'm thinking the dogs would complain about that as well. They should have a big yard for them to go out by themselves--if only for a minute or two.
Shieldmaiden--I feel your pain on the parking lot scenario. I would call 911 and tell them you need help finding a parking spot. Seriously, do they not think having a spot closer to the building might be a good idea considering what time you get out at night? It's a safety issue and I would bring that up. I am jealous of your nail color. My cuticles are a mess and can't wear polish these days.
peewee--Me too! Let's quit! Oh...wait...I need money. Bummer.
Jen--Did you get a new job? It's bad when you hate your job--ask Helene (she has an awful job). Poor Irene is getting my cold--now I'm blessing her back. It's kinda like going to church these days. :)
Grace--Hooray for sun! So, you don't have a gripe today, Grace? :)
Helene--I'm guessing it has to do with your job? You get a mulligan today, Helene. We know how bad it is. Hey, the sun was out though. Hooray!
Nancy--So you have to have gloves on all the time? Or just crank the heat? I wish I could share my hot flashes with you--that might help you keep warm. Poor Irene is getting sick now, so I am gonna have to return the blessings. I think we'll be able to skip church this Sunday for all the blessing going on.
Highway--I really hate when fellow employees bug me while I am trying to work. Sheesh. They can be so selfish sometimes. What would they do without you??
Vanilla--Whew. I thought you were gonna say that you were tired of being warm and relaxed in the sunshine or something.
Bumbles--Some people do not do the blessing thing. For example, while Irene blesses me on each and every sneeze, Jim does not say a thing--even though it is just the 3 of us in the back office. I get that, so now when Jim sneezes, I do not say it to him. But if Irene sneezes, I'm all over her with blesses. I think you need to quit blessing those pagans, pally.
Pricilla--That is so depressing, isn't it? I know you are going to hate me, but it has been really sunny here lately and it reflects off all the snow and it is blinding. BLINDING. Like it hurts your eyes. I would love to siphon off some of this sun and send it to you. But you'd better go get some sunglasses before it gets there.
Anne--Do you have a bad cold too? Awwww, poor you! Bless you too.
Mary Ann--Oh, that is nice, Mary Ann. (You can have two next week if you need them) :)
Violet--It's weird having your body do strange things. At least there is a reason and I can blame something for the wackiness.
Ann--I'm with ya, sister. Life is getting more and more expensive each minute. I can't even be sick--I have to keep sneezing and working to pay the bills. It sucks.
Jodi--I heard the soy thing from my doctor. Do you know if it really works?? I've been drinking soy milk for some time now, but I don't notice any changes for the better. Keep warm, my friend.
Sharky--Please tell me this doesn't go on for YEARS!
We can't have our favorite blogger sick. Pamper yourself a little so you can come back and entertain us.
I think I was feeling a little whiny on my blog on Wednesday too.
I'm over it now. It was just whining.
Poor Lin, get well soon because your combo sounds pretty intense!! Whenever I sneeze, Purrmeister squawks...is that a kitty bless you? At first, I thought I scared him, but sure enough, he does it every time...very interesting! Thanks for your ad comments...yep, that's the one and you nailed it! Feel better pallie!
Thanks for the whiny wed. We can guarantee that the biped milked the sympathy all day. She's a stubborn beast and hasn't called the dentist so tomorrow may be another day of chickenless soup.
Na not about the job but since you asked...Monday gpa told us about a real dream he had. Tuesday he retold the same dream but insisted it really happened. I'll spare you the details but lets just say walking hunched over with a walker he can't run after burglars anymore. I told his son who then said he was amused and laughed it off. His wife my other boss informed me Monday she is going to Peru for a week Sunday and insists she told me earlier. In the beginning of tax season when I can't take a vacation. Husband boss just got back from a week away. I couldn't take 2 days off with pneumonia without a fight. But since husband boss rarely is in the office past 9am to get his dad in, lets just say I have a week's vacation next week.
Writer Lady--Welcome, pally! I think a good whine is appropriate every now and then. As long as it doesn't last too long, right? :)
WillOaks--Oh, that is cute that he does that! I just scare Hobbes. :) I'm looking forward to seeing the new add!
Ozark Mtn Cats--I think you hit on something here--everyone seems to enjoy Whiney Wednesday! Thanks for the idea. Now GO to the dentist!!!
Helene--Those people are idiots, Helene. What's gonna happen around there when g'pa croaks? That's gonna be interesting.
Thats part of why I went for my degree. Picture a 65 year old man who is still a child. That's the owner of my job. My job will cease to exist...which may not be a bad thing...
Writer Lady/Marilynne-I didn't know you had another blog!! You had me confused for a minute. :)
Helene--I think it's a good thing! That place is hell.
Irene sounds like a good sneeze wingman. My cleaning ladies called in sick today so I had to clean the entire house. I know that sounds snooty that I have cleaning ladies but they come once ever TWO weeks so it's not that bad. But damn, I wanted to veg and watch someone else clean my house this morning instead of me.
Do you say thank you every time she says God bless you? LOL.... I'm sorry you have such a terrible cold.
My whine? A day late... if one of my children whines one more time I'm going to go the freak off. That wasn't too light-hearted was it?
Mmmmmm....could be the CHANGE...its happenin to me and I am not liking those hot flashes!
Did anybody say it?!?! I scrolled through the comments and didn't see anyone saying. OK, OK, so I'll say it:
Somebody call the WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-mbulance!
:D hee
Casey--They BOTH got sick??? Hmmmmm. I think they are home vegging and snickering that you have to do your own damn cleaning.
Petula--I do! We make quite a team, Irene and I. Ugh, I hate when the kids whine. I mean, how hard is their life???
Hot Rocks--Oh, it's the "change" alright. I've had the bloodwork to prove it. At least I know I'm not going nuts.
Rebecca--Hahaha! I like that! It's a perfect way to end our big giant Whinefest!
