Hey everyone!!

We all know that being single can be tough at times... so, for a minute or two, why don't we all vent some steam about something ELSE in life that's just as frustrating? But, to keep things upbeat, maybe we can also state something that we're thankful for as well.

My intention is for this thread to be humorous and light-hearted, but feel free to mention serious topics as well, if you should so wish.

I'm thinking of a something like this as a guideline--how would you fill in the statement, "It's a total bummer that __________ , but, I'm at least thankful that _________."

Let's see if I can come up with a few examples:

1. It's a total bummer that they don't make chocolate Twinkies, but, I'm at least thankful that they do make boxed chocolate Cupcakes. (Never mind that I'm trying to cut back on sugar... just one little cupcake won't hurt, will it???!!!)

2. It's a total bummer that I was born with two left feet, but, I'm at least thankful that they get me to where I'm going (even if I do fall a few times.) And, I don't even have to buy special socks! :)

3. It's a total bummer that by nature, I don't like exercise... but, I'm thankful that I was able to get the elliptical trainer I'd been saving for (now, if I can just motivate myself to use it more than twice a week...) I affectionately, and not-so-affectionately, call it my "hamster wheel", because I feel like a little hamster running on his wheel when I'm on it!

4. It's a total bummer that some people on this site (you know who you are) insist that Porsches are THE dream car to own :D (I'm teasing!), BUT, I'm THANKFUL that God has blessed me with MUCH less expensive, not NEARLY as dramaatic tastes in sports cars! (Hello Camaros,Trans Ams, and Firebirds--what can I say, I'm a child of the 80's.) :) Just kidding to all our car aficionados out there!

How about all of you out there? What's been steaming your vegetables lately? :) And... is there something else you're thankful for even though you may be a little flustered?

I am getting sick of this money go round where people associate energy transfer with money transfer. It is the work of the devil and his followers are using every dirty trick in the book. This is not what God intended. I now understand why Jesus overturned the moneylenders tables and kick out the merchants for the synagogue.

It's unfortunate that I tend to walk into closed doors, but at least it makes my apartmentmates and I laugh! I must say running into solid objects can be something to complain about. Oh, and gas prices are $3.49 here...that stinks because I really like to drive...especially when I am stressed out and want to escape. Now the high gas prices are going to start stressing me out! : /

What's been 'steaming my vegetables' lately is when people come rolling in to a SINGLES forum and post threads asking questions that don't have anything at all to do with being single. I haven't yet found where I can whine properly about being all alone. The singles forum needs to have every single post of every single thread be a whine or complaint about being single, or about Brad Pitt.

I don't whine. I just like watching others whine. And reading Nodmyhead's posts, of course.

OK I do have something to whine about. I wish people would be more realistic in their standards for a mate. Of course everyone is going to say "but I deserve someone who is this, or that..." We don't deserve anything! Our good works are like filthy rags to the Lord. The buddha supposedly once said "He who wants nothing has everything." We should be delighted if someone somewhat compatible turns up because this may be the best that God is going to offer you, and believe it or not, getting to know someone despite their shortcomings might reveal other aspects of that person which you will just love. Stop holding out for the perfect mate or you will never find him/her.

Well, it's a good thing I've already found my mate. Now, I just need to figure out how to tell her.

Wow, NP, it sure is great that you're not looking for perfection in any way, shape, or form... especially not physical! LOL!! :)

I don't know what you mean, she's got flaws, which her army of stylists would be more than happy to cover over with some spackle...and then the Photoshop guys would take care of what's left.

I actually know someone who might be able to tell her for you, if he ever runs into her again. Oh wait, he's retired now so his days of running into celebs are over. :(

I would like to vent about the fact that apparently, the only women who have a chance with the infamous Nuke Pooch have to look like Cameron Diaz or Jennifer Aniston... :)

However, I am most thankful that in my own taste and opinion, my dream man would NOT have to look like or resemble Brad Pitt in any way...

What can I say, I count my blessings. :D

You are right in that the freedom can be nice! :) But being alone all the time does take a bit of a toll.


NOD, have a seat in an at least semi-comfy chair and prepare to be amazed for the next 6 or 7 hours because I would like to tell you about myself... without asking ANY questions whatsoever about YOU!

:) I've heard you like that! :D

...not Jennifer Aniston...I'm done with her. She's really not my type. I can do better. The order of protection says I've gotta stay away, but I know she really wants me....but I'm done with her. I'm moving on.
