(+) Yeah! (+)

And she is ALWAYS wrong about the weather

Did she tell you to take off your pants and jacket?

You should wear your pea coat and carrot pants

I'm sure she has tried to but I don't know who Blink lifted that from

I'm 37 and same here. I have 2 of the same f'n jacket because apparently I like that jacket, yet the one jacket I got for myself I'm criticized for wearing.

Own my own house, car, up until last Christmas had a great job, and I'm in the process of dating someone. If growing up means anything other than that, then I don't want to grow up.

I am not that lucky. My cancer came back so I had to abandon my work term 1 month early. The company I was working for was amazing, they paid me how much I would have gotten for the full work term, but that caused issues with EI. Long story short, EI are assholes who can't use their fucking heads to see that someone who is going through Chemo cannot work or be around people, so they disqualified me from getting EI benefits... twice because of lack of hours, which I would have gotten if I was allowed to work, which I wasn't. I'm in the process of appealing it through a higher power, like a grand jury but I doubt anything will come from that.... I digress.

I had to put my house up for sale because I'm living with my parents atm while I'm recovering and looking for work. And because there is currently an IT hiring freeze, I am having a hard time finding regular work in my field. And I choose to not work retail because I have a fucking port in my chest which means I can't do super heavy lifting which I know they will ask me to do because retail stores where I live are assholes and try to get away with as much shit as possible.

Sorry for cursing, I just get so angry when thinking about the local retail market as I've worked so many stores here and they all treated me like shit. Meanwhile my IT company treated me like treasure.

You're gonna look back at those moments and miss em

Or not depending on your relationship with your mother

She is just kind of a control freak, there is not much I can do.
