I have a sister named Kendra so had nothing to do with the other Kendra why your name isn't unusual to me:)

Ahh! Thanks Kendra. Just think of it as her copying you!! As a complaints group I'm very annoyed at her bunny shaking ass! And Hugh Hefner... Eeeeeeew!!

I hate figuring out how things are pronounced (when I say hate, I really mean love). My mother-in-law is 100% Polish (actually came over on the Queen Mary as a child) and so I have fun trying to figure out how various things are pronounced in the Polish language. I also live in Wisconsin where places like Waukesha, Menomonee Falls, and Wauwatosa tend to trip people up. As the following video shows.
This was great! We have some stupendous ones in LA too: Cahuenga, Sepulveda, La Brea, San Vicente, etc...

Ok, so now you are on the spot. I think I know, but 'splain it to us!

[Jerry]

Ok, now I'm embarrassed. Is there a thread for that? I did not notice there was yet another page of complaints where Ijeoma 'splained her name.
By the way I did get it mostly right. ;)

I didn't - so as this is a complaints group, I'm miffed.

[Kendra]

Jerry, I am now crushed that hearing these oh so familiar names makes me homesick. I remember the first time my husband saw the words Cajon Pass and Rancho Cucamonga. Oh how it made me laugh. My mom talks about Azusa and Pasadena like she lived there yesterday. Good times :-)

[Goesta]

Kendra wrote: "Rancho Cucamonga"

Now, I know how I would pronounce that, and it would make for a pretty good Bond villain hideout in my alternate universe of secret boys with special toys ....

Hahaha, yeah it's not quite as exciting as that would be.

Our shelti boy dog was found in Ramcho Cucamonga---with a BB in his back! Can you imagine someone shooting BBs at a dog?

Horrible! That makes me so angry and sad. I just don't understand some people. Hope he was okay.

[Jerry]

He came to us years ago and the vet found the BB about 1" (25mm) away from his spine when they took x-rays for his arthritis. Even though he was a rescue, he has been the most loving, outgoing, sharing, long suffering, intelligent, well I could go on, but ou get the picture. We call him our "best boy".

I complain again today :-( strong pain in my stiff nect that I know first are over after a week, not only that I have pains in my hips, shoulder, arm and back.

Even my pain killers have not help in a long time, even if I take them no effect :-( the weather is bad too, snow and cold all the that I hate and annoyed me and make me tired :-(

I have sleep 2-3 hours and know that the sleep I get every day in this week, tired, annoyed and sleepy, but the pain would not let me sleep anymore :-( this is gonna be a long week :-( a week I wish was over fast.

Why do people hurt their pets?!? I have a ex that have burn a cat, that is crazy and he should go to jail for that(before I meet him) he even tortured my cat Olga because he thinks that the cat deserved that?!? Just because she was not doing what he orders her to, OCD are not an excuse to make that kind of evil things, he live in a fantasy world where he is king *face palm*

We are behind to make people pay for torture and kill theirs pets, and I hope that soon there will be a pet police as well here in Denmark.

My cats are with my parent now and is loved and cared for, they are really spoiled by my parents and most almost everything there :-) they are free and have a whole place of gardens to play on and eat birds :-)

Jerry you dog is lucky to have you and your husband as his owner/master, and you dog have been lucky to survive that bullet, that was damn close to have end his life.

Well, that sounds completely rubbish Helle, I hope things pick up for you soon.

I hate it when the little envelope lights up on GR and I get all excited thinking 'Ooh, someone has sent me a lovely interesting message' and I get all anticipatory while I'm putting in my password and waiting, and then I find that it's a group message from some group that I joined ages ago and never made any comments in.

And I also wish to complain that I look really, really shallow complaining about stupid lit up envelopes when other people have posted about much more serious and important complaints.

[Kendra]

Hey, we need our light moments with the serious ones. I get annoyed with the notifications window because it'll tell me I have like, 11 new notifications but once I click one, they lose the "new" notification. Sometimes it's the little stuff you know?

[Goesta]

Kendra wrote: "11 new notifications but once I click one, they lose the "new" notification. "

(losing consciousness now ....) I so second that. Let's bother the techies about it when I'm awake. Seriously.

[Anil]

I am annoyed that I have a sore throat--at least I hope it is nothing more serious--and my voice comes out similar to Bonnie Tyler's after the operation.

[Kendra]

I know I always complain about the weather but today, it is a must. It is the first day of Spring, the birds should be singing, the sky should be blue, and I should have an instinctual urge to procreate (at least according to "Bambi" which my 2-year-old is watching). However, since it is 13 degrees outside, with a nice little feels like -2 added on for s!*ts and giggles, I only feel like huddling under a blanket in the house fully clothed with added layers, the birds are too cold to sing, and yeah, the sky is blue but we can't go outside to play.

I am also annoyed that instead of being able to stay inside under the blanket, I do have to go to the store. BOOO!!

I want to complain about lettuce. It is such a useless vegetable. You cant really do much with it other than to use it as a space filler for salad. You cant stir fry it, boil it or bake it. You cant use it for quiche either and it has no real taste like rocket or spinach. I dont know why I eat it and just wanted to complain about all the money I have wasted over the years chowing down on lettuce. Bleugh!!

[Jerry]

If you mean iceberg I totally agree, although I like the crunch in a sandwich. We typically use baby lettuce, endive, arugula (your rocket) and baby endive. When we can find it, mâché is lovely with just olive oil and lemon juice, sea salt and pepper.
Have we taken you into a new realm of cuisine talk?

This is ironic and to cry and laugh about this, I should have been at the MB meeting today but because of my stiff neck and unbearable pain, I can not come to this meeting :-(

I was told that I should be the year MB'er because I usually positive and happy and can laugh despite my illness. Of course this happen when I rarely down with mood and are very negative *grrr*

I hate to be this negative mood and have a negative view on everything, I want to be my normal positive and happy mood. 

This should have been a surprise for me to this meeting, and now I can not go and our Office assistant in MB would make a speech for me, now I will miss all that and why do I have to be this negative and down with my mood, I hate it and tired of this and the weather too :-(

I havent come across mâché. I will have to give it a go :)

[[deleted user]]

Mâché is very good and like to have that in salat and in a sandwich etc :-)

Sorry to hear that you have a have chronic depression that has sucked years out of your life that you should have enjoyed and celebrated :-( sending virtual hugs and smooches. Not need to apologize that you are frivolous on these pages.

My illness is is a rare rheumatic disease called ankylosing Becterew(Morbus Becterew) that cause pain 24/7 and restriction of movement. This disease has already broken hips, back and one shoulder and arm. Normally I'm happy despite this disease and find life in reading books, making good food, watch a good movie, talk with my friends and laughed a lot. 

My saying is that life is too short to be bitter and angry, but that you should enjoy life, be happy and laugh.

This may well be difficult when you also have a stiff neck and need help to bathe :-( I am tired and seem to be in a really negative a bad periode :-(

That I want to try, what your husband do with the lettuce, new ideas to making food.

I agree with you in that, with the salat :-)

[Ije the Devourer of Books]

I hate the way illness and disability can rob a person of vitality and the ability to enjoy life.

Helle and Goesta I hope that both of you are able to find your way through these health challenges. My mother has severe depression with psychosis and she has had it for more than a year. It is really difficult to see her struggling and my sister and I feel so helpless.

I hope that somehow through Goodreads and staying in touch we can all be there for both of you. Hugs to both of you. :)

I agree with Helle. Please share the recipe. :)

[[deleted user]]

Thank you Ijeoma and Goesta for your sweet and kind words, that means a lot to me xx <3 hugs back

To be on GR are some of my Quality of life and love to talk about books too and not to forget read books, sometimes I think it's good to complain about the things in life that are difficult and take your energy to enjoy life.

Sorry to hear about that your mother have severe depression with psychosis, it's also hard to be the part that want to take that pain away but is helpless to do anything, than to try to be strong and try to make the person happy in some ways and the love to your mother.

Please Goesta will you share the recipe :-)

Oooohhhh....be careful. That's spam dressed up as a goodreads friend request. If they're from Eastern Europe or Southeast Asia, they're probably a solicitation to be "pen pals". Be careful, don't respond and just delete.

[[deleted user]]

Cmbwey seem like the same women, that I have got a email from a long time ago, she did not follow the same rules and think she can skip cut corners and sweet talk to one, and then think we want to be friends, that is annoying, because I answer the question being asked to me when I ask about friendship to other GR members.

[JustJen "Miss Conduct"]

I was annoyed that I got it too and thought the same thing, Cmbwey. :D I flagged it as spam.

[JustJen "Miss Conduct"]

I really don't get what they hope to gain from that email.

[Macky]

I'm sorry to hear about everyone's comments about depression. I also battle it every day and unfortunately at the moment there are times when I'm too weary to push it away. Its an awful thing and a much maligned and msunderstod condition so my sympathies go out to anyone who has it or who has family or friends afflicted by it! Hugs to all even though they are grumpy ones! ;)

[Aves]

Who do these people think they are?!

Just last night, on my very last flight of the week, a coach/economy fare passenger upgraded himself to First Class just because there were empty seats! My flight attendants told him to return to his assigned cabin TWICE! He got very argumentative and very nasty, and at first refused to leave, claiming he didn't understand why he couldn't occupy an empty seat in First Class! The gall of him! At length, he returned to his seat but he made life very, very difficult for my flight attendants for the rest of the flight.

We radioed ahead for our aircraft to be met by Passenger Services and airport police. As my luck would have it, they weren't there yet when we gated and I ended up having to pull the passenger aside myself and within view and earshot of other disembarking passengers, I had to draw myself up to my full height of 5 feet 6 inches, puff out my chest, square my be-striped shoulders and mouth off to him in full-blown Little-Man-Napoleonic-Complex-Yapping-Terrier-mode about how unacceptable his behaviour was, that if he hadn't paid the premium price for a First Class seat, he didn't deserve to sit there, and that if he pulled such a stunt again he would never board another flight on my airline!

Security and Passenger Services finally showed up but only after I'd finished my finger wagging, captain-in-command tirade. Sheesh!!!! Why do these people have to make me get up in their faces, and b**ch-slap them into comprehension?

Interestingly, this passenger-from-Hell, who had made life really uncomfortable for my FAs, remained cowed and silent the entire time I was dressing him down.

Freakin' Jerk.

Sorry, Lucas.

[Macky]

Are these coming through on normal emails like gmail etc? Ignore and delete Cmbwey although I'm sure you have already.

So sorry to hear that you have this also :-( lots of hugs and smooches xx

This is not misunderstood in Denmark and they try to make preventive things at work, so there are not so many that get a depression and go on sick pay. It has helped some, but could still be improved. 

[JustJen "Miss Conduct"]

They are in GR emails.

Holy cheeseballs, Aves! People are unreal and have such an unbelievable sense of entitlement these days. I'm peeved for you that you had to unleash the beast on his undeserving behind. Such a little tiger you are. :)

JustJen wrote: "I really don't get what they hope to gain from that email."

I agree with you in that and the person did not have any books, so why did she then want to be on GR this about reading books and talk about books, but also about our lives as friends too.

Oooh I'd have paid a lot of money to see that Aves! Good on you Captain Ferocious... Don't mess with the 5' 6" b**ch slapping pilot with attitude!!!!
I hope he was was a quivering mess when you'd finished with him and he didn't get his complimentary bag of peanuts.... Serves him right!
Seriously though it must be awful... My nephew is a flight attendant so I know its not all sweetness and light with passengers, hope he got some proper form of punishment? Assh**e!

Aves is right as always and so darn cute too.

I'm complaining because Goodreads doesn't tell you that in order not to get this kind of SPAM you need to go to you profile page click on the box to the right of your profile picture the select "edit profile." Next click on the tab that says settings and in the privacy section where it says Who Can View My Profile, if "everyone (including search engines)" is selected, change it to Goodreads members or for extra privacy Goodreads friends. The next step is IMPORTANT. Scroll to the bottom and click on the box "SAVE ACCOUNT SETTINGS."

And I bet the dressing down you gave him was fabulous!!! Good for you. I wish it was on you tube so that we could see you in action!! Let's hope he learnt his lesson.

Well done Captain Aves, but if this misbehaving passenger turned out to be a straight-acting, handsome, muscular, gay guy how would you have handled the situation and teach him a lesson he would never forget?

Hear, hear! I think enquiring minds should be satisfied, Captain 5'6" Bitchslappin' Aves!

[Tj]

I'm so frustrated. Yesterday I had hopes of being a good day since I was going out of town with hubby but, nope, my dang illness reared it's ugly head and has given me a horrible headache the last three day! The meds are making me feel sick just to keep functioning. Oh, well at least the rest of me is cooperating for once:)

Aves you have a funny way to tell things LOL but it's not funny the situations you are in with that passenger.

You shut up too, Lucas.
*Now tapping foot with arms crossed, silently fuming because you know as well as I, that I would have been dumbfounded and tongue-tied, with all my flight attendants looking on, now rolling their eyes and shaking their heads, wondering what they ever did to deserve a Captain who would want nothing more than to rub up against such a passenger and go torso-to-torso.*

Helle wrote: "but it's not funny the situations you are in with that passenger"

Thank you, Helle. I'm glad you see the humour that I do when situations like this come up. They're not funny while it's happening but I try very hard to find a way to laugh about it afterwards. Being here with you and sharing our stories certainly helps.

Many Blessings to you.

"full-blown Little-Man-Napoleonic-Complex-Yapping-Terrier-mode"
Oh Aves, that is too cute!
This is probably the same guy who thinks he's entitled to 2 parking spaces or to park in HCP if he has a hangnail, or who should sail past everyone in Len waiting to be seated at a restaurant. Amazingly rude.

What's the use of having your very own cockpit if you can't torso-to-torso cockpitting style?
