could be worse - you could live in a huge house in the South where A/C is a necessity in the summer and pay a $200-$300 electric bill for 5 months out of the year
Good point
I haven't used an air conditioner since 2006, I just sweat in the summer to save money ... though in BOTH 2007 AND 2008, I had roommates who did run AC units in their bedrooms, CONSTANTLY... even after I warned them that they would have to pick up the slack on the Electic bill then... they both still owe me upwards of $500 a piece because they promised they'd pay me... BUT never did... and NEVER will
Sigh... I can't wait till the day I can afford to live alone or with someone by choice again

Electric heat and electric water heater. $100 + in the winter. Summers $40 w/o AC. My electric company, who always hold press conferences encouraging customers to conserve energy, buy those stupid bulbs, etc. has raised our rates because, yes that's right, customers have not consumed enough electricity. So while they produce most of the power for us by burning oil and the price of oil dropped over 50% (meaning that the cost of producing electricity dropped by over 50%) these immoral criminal fuckwads raised the price of electricity.
GGGRRRRRR.....i hadda give up the corn for a bomb job that at my dads work, so i supplemented with some food that the dr usually gives you for such anxious experiences...needless to say i didn't give myself enough time for the ol system to get rid of that...so then i started eating again...well in nov. my dad told me that i had a chance to get the job again in jan so i gave up the corn again the first of december went thru christmas and New Year on my no corn diet and to this day STILL NO CALL!!!! GRR GRRRR GRRRRRRRRRR
Every customer I waited on tonight was either a complete psycho, utter moron, or treated me like I was something stuck to the bottom of their shoe. I'm hitting the liquor cabinet!
So yesterday I watched people that I loved and cared about carry their work life in a box out the door. The largest employer in Richmond has started to cut people loose. I wasn't on the chopping block ... yet. Only middle management mgmt. Thank god I cook.
Why a GRRR? Because all the people that lost their job was people that made my day go by faster because SOMEONE was worried about their bonus.
The worst for me was a husband and wife that worked seperate shifts and BOTH got fired. Severance is only good for a month.

Ehhh.... this isn't a grrrrr so much as.... well, I'm not quite sure what to call it, but sometimes I wish people could see the damage they keep doing to themselves when it's so obvious to everyone around them.

I second this. This maybe different than your situation but my best friend is dating an abusive person and heroin addict and she is killing herself over trying to make the relationship work. She is doing more harm to herself than good by putting up with him because she sees something in this guy that no one else sees. I try to talk to her about it but she has some romantic notion things will get better. I hope she comes to her senses before its too late.

I'm sorry to hear that. My situation is that my BFF, the guy who has been my closest friend since the 4th grade and stuck by me when no one else would, has become a pretty big cokehead over the last four or five years and is now starting to snort Ketamine as well (the horse tranquilizer). He keeps denying he has a problem even though it's so apparent he does. He's a very prominent DJ, and so he spins at the hottest clubs and then goes backstage, where there are always large quantities of druqz floating around. The real kicker is that he lives on the other side of the world, so there's really nothing I can do except talk online or over the phone.
I suppose since I'm so far away, I can't be entirely sure of how much he's taking or how badly it's affecting him. It's just that he has a very addictive personality and he has always tended to easily succumb to peer pressure. I just wish beautiful people wouldn't poison themselves with such ugly chemicals. It's not that I worry so much about him taking the druqkz... but I am petrified of the druqkz taking him.

So, my fiancee is a an attorney, and because of this he is really good friends with a lot of the local police officers. Well, the other night, about 10ish, a couple of them were getting off of work and they decided to stop by our house. We live in a VERY quiet neighborhood, with very few residents (it's mostly vacation homes and the owners are only here a few weekends a month, if that) well, our only neighbor happened to be here.
So, the officers pull up, in their cruiser and full uniform, and knock on our door. We let them in, they had some snacks, we talked for about an hour and then they left. No biggie.
The next day, I'm out walking my dog, and the stupid Ann Coulter from next door comes RUNNING over and starts asking me if I am ok, do I need to talk to someone, and she knows the names of some groups that can "help women like me." I look at her dumbfounded, and say "OHHH, you mean the cops that came over last night... they are our friends."
She just shakes her head and says she is gonna get me that information and that my fiancee will never know she spoke to me!
Jesus jumping Christ! Why can't people mind their own dammed business?!?! I can't even look at that woman now when she is up here. And just yesterday she was visiting with a friend, and when I walked by them outside she shook her head again and started whispering something to her friend, who then shook her head. GRRRRR!
I'm so quacking pissed, I can't wait to move! Just a few more months, just a few more months!
^^^Ok - I see your grrr with it - but I had to laugh about it also. I would have played it up to the hilt and come up with some outrageous story for the women the spread around - on that was so unbelievable it would make people laugh
^^^ hehe, I see the humor in it too, I should have said "What are you worried about me for? I whopped his ass, he got what he deserved and if he ever back talks me again it's gonna be worse!"
Daniroo, I laughed a bit too. Reminds me of this story....
One of my co-workers came home late one night a little tipsy and saw a spiderweb in his doorway but didn't think anything of it. When he got inside, there was a rather large spider on his shirt, so he got off his shirt, and then went to town beating it with a shoe. The whole time, he was yelling things like "yeah, take it you little b*tch" and so forth. When the spider was good and dead, he passed out on the couch only to be awaken 30 minutes later by the police. His neighbors called the cops because they thought he was beating a girl (and he doesn't have a girlfriend, by the way). The cops came in and searched his apartment thoroughly for a beaten girl before they left with their apologies.
GRRRRR!!!! I just flamed out big time on the 10KLF thread, but one more time can't hurt. WSP needs to be put in a time capsule and stored away for at least 10 years. I might have made it through one night of these guys, but two F'ing nights, you have to be kidding. The phrase Biggest Announcement ever needs to be removed from use. People have no idea what the phrase means. I hate being let down! Please God make Roo's line up kick ass. I need a stiff butt kicking drink!!! Why so upset? Summer music festivals are my only break from this world. Now one of them is not going to happen. Of course it had to be the one in my backyard.
Alright I'm gonna vent: F you scapers, I'm a fan who was on the website to get tickets at 10am when they went on sale and they were already sold out, but on craigslist you could get them for double the cost F*CK YOU, you are the same person that did this to oil, and housing by intersecting yourself in the free market, get a job you fuc*ing prick. Oh I've seen you scapers you are a bunch of f"*king loosers that have no care for the arts, why the f*ck should I give you that money, I don't care about the price cause I would give the band (you know the artist) the money anyways, you are worse then a leach you f(cking scum bag...FUC( YOU...
Ok, I feel a little better...at least Bush is out of office
I'm the opposite of moderate, immaculately polished With the spirit of a hustler and the swagger of a college kid Allergic to the counterfeit, impartial to the politics Articulate but still would grab a ni**a by the colla quick

i say we just sneek into the sclapers business..you know, ninja style and steal all the tickets and money that they have made.....take it to the show....sneak up ontop of the roof...you know, ninja style and throw them all into the air, that way, everyone gets a ticket and some party favors money
Not so much Grrrr, more like just sad. It figures the year I commit us to going to Sasquatch, Roo comes out with an over the top line up. I'm hoping either that most of the bands crossover to the Sasquatch line up or the line up at Sasquatch totally sucks. In that case I will cancel the airline tickets and go to Roo. Nothing is predictable.
Biglou, Sasquatch is really such a GREAT festival...much smaller in terms of audience, a gorgeous setting that will leave you breathless when you get to the top of the hill, cooler temps and generally amazing lineups. Last year was my first and it was probably my favorite lineup. I'm sure you're feeling frustrated right now, but I assure you that Sasquatch will be so worth your time.

Thanks. Now I'm a little worried that Sasquatch could fall to the same fate as Langerado. I hope not, but I'm afraid anything is possible in our present economy.
grrr to the mother fucker who stole my purse from me. I was standing right there and they stole it - not even worrying about getting caught - stupid fucking assholes - they got nothing - my debit card was in my hand and my phone was in my pocket. I don;t carry cash and I have no credit cards. I calready called the bank about my checkbook - all they got was a bare wallet , a purse sized umbrella, my freaking calendar (which is my life) and a Liz Claiborn purse that I liked very much - stupid mother fuckers
;D
