The dog grabbed a cup of coffee off the table and spilled it all over the carpet yesterday. Our oldest was home for almost 3 hours before I got there and didn't even pick up the cup. I don't blame her for not shampooing the carpet, but to not even pick up the cup? Seriously?

So I'm out camping all weekend long. Had 120 girls and 30 parents to look after. I get back to a house where nothing had been done, but my hubby swears he did the "grocery shopping" I call B.S. he spent $130 at the store, but I am not seeing any groceries. We are out of everything: Trash Bags, Laundry Soap, Dish Soap, Veggies (there is not a single veggie canned, frozen or fresh in this house) Cat Food, Kitty Litter, Paper Towels, Toliet Paper, Window Cleaner, Meats....nothing! What in the world did he spend $130 at the store for?

I don't know how I'm suppose to take a "-1" as a rep as anything but insulting. Which never seem like something you'd do. But who knows. I just wish if you were going to insult me you'd do it on the board were its out in the open. Just so you know, you were one of the Christians that I use to look up to on this site.

I don't understand this rep thing

I don't understand this rep thing

It's a way of giving someone a quick comment without posting publicly or firing off a PM or Visitor Message. You can see the rep comments in your UserCP below your subscribed threads. Rep comments also give them "rep points" which display on your profile. The more points you get, the "cooler" you are...so to speak.

I probably over-use the rep feature myself to give comments.

I didn't know anyone COULD give negative rep. That's pretty cheap...

 

[Mrs. Luther073082]

I did not know that either.... I don't see how you can do it?

How to do it? People just say insulting things (like the "-1" to MoonKitty) through the rep comment. It doesn't actually take away points....but, those points don't really have any value anyway. It seems even more offensive than any comments made in a thread or on a visitors page........because it's completely done in secret....away from view of others.

That's no good.

Right. CF doesn't allow up or down rating a post like you can on YouTube for example. But you can make a negative rep comment if you choose.

I've gotten in trouble in the past for giving negative rep comments...usually responding to an obvious troll post. I know better.

Yeah, but good to stroke the ol' ego, though!

Everyone loves validation......right?

Parking fees at hospitals. It feels like you are being punished for visiting. Bad enough to have someone you love be in the hospital for weeks on end.

I would have to vent about work. I am blessed to have a job, but some days I wish I were in my garden, tending to my roses.

 

[illudium_phosdex]

I'm going to vent about myself. I'm so sick of the way I am constantly putting things off and not making time for important things. And yeah, I know, I could just get up and do it. And I do try. The spirit is willing but the flesh is definitely weak so to speak.

That is exactly why my garage is still a disaster. I just can't motivate myself to clean it.

 

[mkgal1]

.......*ouch* that's something I can relate to (the garage being a disaster out of lack of motivation). It's full of decisions I don't want to make (keep or get rid of). I'm afraid of making decisions I will regret.....so, I just don't make them.

Because I was thinking about this topic, while my son had to stand in the garage and sand his rocket for Cub Scouts, I cleaned up the garage a bit. It's amazing how many things the kids will just toss out of the car and leave on the floor in the garage - trash, clothes, shoes, projects and kitchen items. I threw out so much crap last night. The garage is vastly improved from about 20 minutes of work.

It's cloudy and snowing here. I don't like cloudy days and I HATE the snow. I have things to do and this all just makes me want to crawl into bed and sleep until spring. *sigh*
