Thread: Rant and Rave, Cry and Complain

They have rodents you say? That's a pathetic excuse... They complained about our dogs every single time we had one, because they always thought that our dogs got into their gardens, but that's not true, they couldn't... So they must've even put poison into our own garden, since our dogs died too, not just the cats.

Also, you can't just put out poison in your garden for this exact reason, because other animals can get in there too... not just the rodents. Also.. rodents are mice and rats, you can catch those with mice-traps. No need to poison them.

They probably classified their garden as their space. So they don't like any "intruders" into their garden. You know some people are particular about that. I'm not trying to find excuses for their wrongdoings. You should just go have a chat with them.

Okay, so what? Cats do nothing wrong to them... they even run away if they get close to them.

Chat with them... of course, after killing all those animals. It's a little too late for that.

Sounds pretty cruel to me. My Dad hates it when the cats piss on his lawn so he got one of those motion sensor sprinklers to hit them in the face with water when they got too close.

That's like the last few options that I could think of that hadn't been already mentioned.

Or you can just kill them.

Sigh... just stop this killing talk... it's not funny.


But i can't expect people who don't live in a neighbourhood where gardens are close to eachother to understand these problems of mine... and especially when these people don't even have pets.

I think we should just get over this now, my opinion can't be changed about them anyway.

Raid your local Corpse Removal vehicle and litter their garden with dead animals.

Let's not speak of those devils any more.

And I'm trapped in high rise buildings in my country. A standalone house with garden can easily cost over a million here. That will be more than a million US dollars.

Where do you live, LittleZoe?
My neighbors used to garden (one died, the other doesn't anymore because of old age).
Only 2 points (questions?) and then I'll drop it.

My grandmother had rats and mice once. I had to walk around her yard and drop poison (pellets/food if I recall). I later found one of the rodents dying from the poison and I told her I would NEVER use that stuff again.
So, sometimes people DO poison rodents.
Can cat poop in a garden cause disease/sickness? I'm just curious about that one because of pregnant women being told not to clean litter boxes (or doing so very carefully). If so, that might be another reason someone would set poison in their garden.

But it's still evil and wrong- and all the more so to poison YOUR garden. I'll never understand people.

My rant is that I'm awake after 4 hours of sleep and that I don't have enough money for smokes this week. In fact, I'm going to buy either a $10. Farmville card or Runescape time which will give me even less smokes. I need to quit already!!!!!!
I'm also really sick of getting diarrhea after I eat absolutely anything. It's still a million times better than gallbladder pain, but it makes eating out impossible.
I'm also going to rant in advance of my boys ranting. I told them they would be eating very little if they insisted on getting that game. They're still going to whine. They seriously need to get a job. Then again, maybe they'll leave the nest sooner if I continue to make things less than comfortable

My diarrhoea's torturing me every other day too and it happens frequently. to you.

I've got a suggestion for your boys, just get a cracked version of that game online. That's what poor people do if they can't afford it.

Hungary... but i mentioned it a lot already... althrough you only seem to be active in this thread, so maybe you didn't see it before.

I never said anywhere that people don't poison rodents, but it doesn't make it anymore right to do so in the garden, where lots of other animals can get into too. If i remember right there is also a law against doing so and you could only put down poison in a chamber/basement, where other animals won't get in, just the rodents.

Why would you touch cat poop in the first place? They hide it under the earth anyway, so you wouldn't even notice.

But just drop this subject finally.

Ok... lets say you lived by a construction zone. One day your cat decides to wander over there. As he's wondering over there, a guy drops a board and it hits your cat. Who's fault is it? Sure the hell ain't the construction works. It's up to you to keep an eye on your pet.

If they did put poison in your garden, then you have a serious problem. If it does happen again, bring it to a vet, get it treated, or if it's too late, get samples to send out. And look around your garden for pellets or something. Don't go do anything stupid like "get back at them". You say it's the perfect plan, and people won't know it's you, but professional criminals say the say, or murderers and rapists. You're just going to end up fucking yourself over and get nothing accomplished except make them look like the innocent ones.

... after reading this I'm suddenly happy I keep my cat indoors.

But anyway, my rant for today is that I'M ALL OUT OF TEA AND CAN'T AFFORD MORE. I need to go and get a real job; a degree in philosophy was NOT a good idea.

10 day vacation is over... almost time to start driving to work.

I gamed so much today (Portal, Portal 2 and quite a lot of Fallout 3) that when I close my eyes I can see the game environment projected vividly onto a screen behind my eyelids. I'm also feeling a little lightheaded.

^Who am I kidding? I have a f**king earth-shattering headache. Why the hell am I still here?

I hate traveling. As in the actual travel part. Why can't someone just invent teleportation already? (I've been on vacation and will be catching up on the rants - and other stuff here - shortly)

edit: Caught up. Not much that's still relevant to comment on. I'd like to add that my parent's internet speed is killing me (but only cause I'm spoiled). I'm moving, though, and that speed won't be moving with me.

Also, I spent almost 9 hours traveling today and I'll spend another 8 hours tomorrow... and then another 8 hours Thursday. I hate traveling >.<

re-edit: O_O Editing removes likes... That makes me sad.

LittleZoe, Carrot.

Do you have a stomach bug Carrot? Or just an impossibly sensitive one like mine?

PieMan Hope your head feels better soon!

Sefalik, did you at least have fun?

I hate traveling too Khh. Well, not so much the travel part unless I'm standing in a crowded line at an airport or something. I just hate making the preparations to actually get to that point.
Hubby informed me last night that we'll be doing something during his "shut down week". He always closes his office for a week or 2 during the summer so his employees can go on vacation.

So, my rant is that I don't want to go anywhere. But it would be nice to actually spend some time with him. We'd likely go to Early's Auction for the summer show. That wouldn't be too bad.
Also, I slept ALL day. I went back to sleep at around 2 this afternoon and I didn't wake up until 7:30 this evening I slept hard so I guess I needed the rest.

She once told me, "I experienced a complete ego loss."

"Ego loss," my first thought was," For you girl, that would be a good place to start."

Edit: EPIC WIN for posting this on exactly 11:11. The universe agrees with me Sai.

I had a slightly morbid dream this morning... There was some huge family gathering or something, and things were going great. As great as family reunions and such go, anyway. Borring. xD But anyway... about halfway through they suddenly started talking about how my dad had died. Something about his "wild side" getting the better of him? I think it was implied that there was a car accident. Now my dad is alive and well, and I can tell you he's got absolutely no wild side to him. He's tame as can be. In the dream my grief was overshadowed by annoyance because everyone assumed I knew what was going on, and didn't tell me anything. Now that's something that happens a lot. "I'm always the last to know," I tend to lament...

So yeah. Kinda morbid, so I'm not gonna post it on my dream journal here, like I've been trying to make a habit of. I specifically don't want to remember this one for too long, although I know I will. It's just weird, especially considering how cheerful the past couple days have been in general. But that belongs in the happy thread! Away!

Edit: Net hiccup caused a double-post, when I thought for sure it'd eaten my post. I reacted fast enough that I could delete that second post, but still. Bonus mini-rant?

I don't think editing remove likes. Try refreshing and the like should still be there.

If you're talking about travelling by car and public transport, I don't like it either. But airplane and cruises are kind of fun. ^^ Which makes me glad that my country is so small, you only need an hour and a half to get from one end of the country to the other end.

Stomach bug? What's that? I think I have an overly sensitive stomach too because it doesn't matter what I eat. I think it's getting better. I hope it gets better.

I'm hungry but there's nothing in the fridge that I want to eat.

I can relate, this is a house completely packed to the brim with food and I still I can't find a meal worth eating again.

Heh. Yeah, yeah. First world problems.

My friends and I found an old childhood large wooden dice today. We used to ask it a yes or no question and the outcome would determine the answer: 1-3 = no, 4-6 = yes. It seems to be correct 9/10 times and it is extremely freaky, almost as if it has a soul. rant: A dice is making me question my atheism.

That's weird... When I was about 12, a few friends and I were exploring a deserted WWII bunker on the beach when we found a large wooden die buried under the sand. It had a strange aura to it... For some reason we were all creeped out, but I decided to keep it. But then over the next few days, I started having very strange dreams... I kept imagining rolling the die and the outcome would determine which of my friends lived or died... I thought I just had an overractive imagination at first, but then the dreams became more vivid, and started involving my family too... Eventually it got so bad that I kept seeing numbers in real life, hovering over people's heads. I felt strange urges to hurt people with certain numbers above their heads...

Anyway it was getting weird so I threw it into the ocean and never saw it again.

Probably unrelated to your story though.
