The Rant Rave thread

Rant: The "detailed" instructions about what to do to avoid surgery are really just a script for the physical therapist. Do I wrap, hire a dog walker, use crutches, put the boot back on??? I cannot read your mind doctor!

i am convinced that doctors are deliberately vague about these things so that when you try something and it doesn't work, they can say, "well, that wasn't what i meant," thereby clearing themselves of all culpability. this is also the reason for the illegible chicken scratch.

Here's one for you:

Out me if you want
Your fiance is still cute
Sticking to story :-)

No! I promise I won't out you! I wouldn't want you to feel embarrassed!

All you have to do is promise you'll accept packages for your neighbors if they're not home!

Only if this means I get to see your boyfriend more often

Rave: I finally went to the DMV and renewed my license (that was not a rave, but the fact that I finally did it gets a rave) and then I went to Target and rode around in one of those scooter carts, but this one was SUPER fast and I knocked a few things over. Plus, I backed up a lot to make those BEEP BEEP BEEP sounds :-)

Off and on, but not too heavy so far so maybe not a miserable ride. If you're heading home, at least you won't have to sit around in wet clothes.

RAVE: riding in the rain was great!

RANT: fat-assed bitch parked in front of the check cashing place at Flatbush and Bergen who doored me (yes we made contact) then yelled, "You're not in a bike lane!" as if that mattered and then when I pointed out that she was illegally parked (No Standing 4 - 7pm) and in a bus stop to boot, all so she can go cash her pay check (as she is too distrustful of banks most likely) and I called her a "lowlife bitch," her fat-assed loudmouth defender of all things female no matter how butt-ugly they are boyfriend popped from the car and started threatening me to which I just I said "Fuck off Asshole", gave him the finger and road off.

rant: houseguest all week driving me crazy. also had a cold.

rant: my throat/windpipe has felt swollen all day....and i'm headed to my beach vacation on sunday

Note to self....stay well in front or behind of Meredith on any Brooklynian bike rides. You have a special magnetism for bike altercations! ;-)

it was raining and I couldn't stop as quickly as I would have liked, I said to her, "You got to look out" and she could have said "Sorry" but instead...

Rave: (Can't believe no-one else has said it yet) 100 pages of Rants and Raves! A whole century! Hope it's been more raves than rants.

Translation:

It is infected but I have been drinking copious amounts of vodka and wine and it's pushing it out and even if it's not who gives a shit?
Wheeeeeeeeeeee!

Rave: Voodoo knows me too well!!!!!! (Although I have been meticulous about cleaning the wounds and doing what I know best for myself.)

Rant: Didn't have time to pick up the Rx before going to Coney Island with the teens.
Rant: it was raining a lot but the Cyclones were still going to play, meaning while we couldn't sit in the rain, we wouldn't recoup the hundreds of dollars spent on tickets.
Rave: we ended up taking everyone to Two Boots in Park Slope!!!!!!

I think we need pics of this puss-hole.

It actually looks pretty good right now. And by that I in NO WAY mean pretty or good.

photos or it doesn't exist

(but I am glad to hear it's healing and that means Beave won't have to break up with you because you are a peg leg)

RAVE: Off to the beach for three days. No computer, no TV, no cars, and no bicycles! Have a good weekend you all.

RANT: I FUCKING HATE EVERYONE AND WANT TO KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

You've been hanging out with the Beave too much.

Rave: nice morning at off-leash

Rant: a wasp stung me and my arm is still swollen and sore.

Scarlett, I'm with you on that one.

That's why she's so awesome!

Rant: One bourbon last night - ONE - and I'm slightly hungover. Sigh. I'm getting old. Next month's bachelor party is going to be painful.

I WANT BOURBON NOW. I will go in your place, Anthony. I can drink you under the table any day.

Who the fuck is getting me drunk tonight?

Meredith is away. You're on your own. Unless you seduce me with promises of beer and young, muscle bound boys.

Scarlett, I'll (probably stupidly) take you up on that challenge one day. However, my drinking is going to be done in privacy of my own home this evening.

RAVE: The discounts on booze from the liquor store next to CostCo.

rave: Jackson is outside yelling at a butterfly who is hanging out under the table umbrella.

Fucking derelict butterflies. Tell 'em Jackson!

He already caught and ate one, but this one is too high up for him. I think he's telling it that he's gonna eat him
