Complaint Department discussion
POST COMPLAINTS HERE
How aggravating! Just found this on google. A good use for the semi colon......

It's not hard. There are even examples posted on the top of the homepage: criticize, find fault, kick up a fuss, object, protest, air your grievances, grumble, carp, fuss, lament, bemoan, bewail, moan, whine, carry on, groan, kvetch, remonstrate, beef, bellyache, moan and groan, grouse, gripe, grump, bleat, whinge, squawk, squeal, and raise a stink...
See the new name of what used to be Post Complaints Here.
I'm upset that I thought that was formed as a complaint and it's not. Whoops sorry Preston. I'm also upset that you have to tell me you're not picking on me, no worries I know you're not. *grin*
I'm complaining and pouting because I said " how aggravating " which is very complainy but Preston didn't notice :( .... I'm sad now.
Macky wrote: "I'm complaining and pouting because I said " how aggravating " which is very complainy but Preston didn't notice :( .... I'm sad now."I am deluegerred that you are sad.You are right. Aggravating is a very good complaint word. I went back and added you name. Feel better?
Hugs, Preston
I'm aggrieved to say I'm happy Macky once more!
Crummy buttons, but my feet hurt. Sigh. :o|
I'm griping that this woman really has something to complain about... right after she kills her boyfriend. From CNN "Cruelest prank ever?"http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/vid...
Averin wrote: "One of the chief things I learned on LHNB? Semicolons never belong in dialogue."I have to moan that no one ever talks with semi-colons or colons. But they certainly speak with ellipses (pause, trail off, uncertainty) and em-dashes, either when interrupted or making in-sentence asides. In US style the em-dash has no spaces either side; (hah;) in British style that would be space en-dash space. Either are used extensively in comic-strip dialogue.
One sub-editor I worked with on magazines (who screamed at anyone who wrote: 1983 saw the advent of… "Years CAN'T see!"), he argued that the semi-colon, used aptly, is the most emotional punctuation mark.
Has anyone heard the fate of the so-called boyfriend who frightened his gf so badly? Gutted (as we say in England), perhaps?
I'm teed off that Roger Kean had this video hidden in Authors Self Promotion with his book promo for What's A Boy Supposed to Do when everyone should see this if they like football (soccer) and men getting all sweaty and kissing.http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&...
How dare you go poking about in my Authorial Promotions, Boyd!And I'm very ticked off with the Beeb Beeb Ceeb, who once famously banned Frankie Goes to Hollywood's Relax because of its "indecent lyrics". I thought they'd grown up by playing Tom Odell's Another Love with its line "I'll be so f****ing rude" only to pay attention a minute ago and the BBC plays the line as "I'll be so damned rude".
And I'm fed up with GR today. Every time I hit "post" it switches screen to my Home page!

I'm complaining that this youtube video "youtube complaints" could be complainier.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTPNA...

I'm so teed off that my laptop has to have the hard drive replaced!
Frustrated with doctors that make you go to an appointment (2 1/2 hours drive one way for me) to tell me I'm doing fine, no changes and come see us again in 2 months. Why? I haven't changed in the last 2 or 3 appointments. What is going to change significantly enough in 2 month that I need an appointment in advance?

I haven't changed in th..."I suggest that it isn't so much needing an "appointment in advance" as that your doctor is clearly of the opinion that you have some condition that needs to be monitored closely.
I for one go for a particular checkup every 6 months. Some time back "things" briefly changed and for a while it was every three months, and then back to the old schedule. But I know precisely what is being monitored and why the particular frequency.
I strongly suggest that you ask your doctor the question you just posed to us. If he responds in medical jargon that you don't understand, stand your ground, tell him so, and ask him to put it in plain English. If he can't or won't, perhaps you need a doctor with whom you can communicate.
If his answer doesn't satisfy you, i.e., as to what needs to be monitored every two months, then if at all possible arrange to get a second opinion.
Just my USD .02.
Eric
Oh, I know Eric. It's just frustrating at times. I have another doctor that monitors me every 6 months, then my GP and this doctor, Pain doc (is every 2 to 3 months). I think it is routine more than anything but next appointment I am going to see if I can go a little longer since I'm not on heavy drugs and my condition has stabilized. Can't blame the doctor considering they prescribe narcotics and etc. and just want to make sure and stay on top of my pain. It just gets annoying at times.
I am complaining that the one thing I want to complain about right now is supposedly literate individuals who cannot follow the rules, as stated here http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1... and most especially here http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1..., let alone the concept of common courtesy. And now, I'll complain that I can't say anything more because that road leads to trouble. Even though I badly wish to point certain writers to read this book Man, Oh Man! Writing Quality M/M Fiction and in particular, pp 25 & 48 and especially pp 95 & 121. Because if I read one more story with a secret baby or nonsensical cray-cray woman in it, I'll become one of those vicious GR trolls.
I know he's not particularly loved in this group, but I am enjoying reading someone who's written exactly what I've thought many times.
Spellcheck wanted viscous, I suppose that works too.
Loudly gripe that pain meds and alcohol do not mix!!!

Why? *innocent face*
Shhhh! I did (giggle)
Averin wrote: "I know he's not particularly loved in this group, but I am enjoying reading someone who's written exactly what I've thought many times...."I'm gobsmacked that there is some guy who is loved in the Complaint Department. If one isn't particularly loved that means other guys must be loved. I thought all gay males were simply tolerated. Now I'm so confused.
<-big-grin->
I'm very very bitter that in the M/M Romance Group's WIP thread, everyone who posts something there gets loads of new posts (which keeps them on the first page), but I never seem to :::sob::: After all, it needn't even be a nice post… ;-)http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...
I'm so annoyed I am all alone in having to keep posing something, anything at every day at:http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...
to keep Roger's new over 145,000 word novel,
Gregory's Story visible in the WIP thread in the M/M Romance group to keep his promotion visible so we can drum up some pre-releasse excitement for the book.
It's annoying that I had to go leave a question in Roger's thread in the M/M R group. I am looking forward to his answer though it's not that exciting a question. :o]

Totally fed up with this review of
Thunderbolt: Torn Enemy of Rome

And what's with this: "...his loves, his great romance with X and his long term friendship with benefits with Juba." Did you X out Trebon's name after you (view spoiler) Juba and Malco had a friends with benefits relationship? That's news to me and I bet it was news to you also.
If anyone wants to read a real review of Thunderbolt:Torn Enemy of Rome they should check this out this accurate review:

Okay group all together now in unison. Hello Ventus, welcome to the Complaint Department

mumblemumblemumbleWelcomeVentusmumblemumblemumble.Moms are embarrassing on purpose y'know. They put up with so much nonsense from their kids, they have to get their licks in when they can!
I am absolutely shocked and appalled (and extremely irritated, can you tell?) that I have to make my posts in the form of a complaint. Where do I complain about this?
