I've asked STella and Ron about this and I promised to do a raving and ranting place. I thought we would just do it once a week, ie: Mondays.
But I've started tonight.
What we do is we post our least fave thing
and/or what is bugging us.
It's better than going to therapy, no?

You did ???

so let's rant !!!
I have an hour or two to get dressed up and to this party.
I could do a diatribe about tights, but I won't (that's too obvious in winter). I'd sooner rant and rave about russian spies and the war in whereever they are nowadays.
My high heels hurt. I don't think I can wear them. it might have to be flats. That bloke I'm seeing is rather short after all.
xL
-
I hate tights. I feel like I'm strangling myself when i put them on.
I think it's the nylon or the polyester I'm allergic to. They make me scream. I hate them.
I'll have to take them off now, that was a no-go. How about my leather pants? At least they breathe
-
Does my face look fat in this?
-
hi! :)
ohhhhh, your little smiley and hi's are so cute, it hurts to remove them. Why don't you forget about making a point and just say "yes" to the girl vows of kindness. :'(

I WANT A RANT...
what I'd like to do is do it every Monday. Just get it out. We just do a rant on Mondays.
Tonight I need advice about this stupid skirt with nasty boots. it's not working. My bum doesn't look fat, my head does.

-

Lol, I've never heard that one used before.
-
Lol, I've never heard that one used before.
deeds, i only just came up with it (whilst attempting to get tights off). It's the internet afterall and we're wired, no?
perhaps I ought to put a stocking on my head and go ?>

try on a different pair of boots.
I'm getting there.

I'd be happy to if the female posters were also required to agree prior to posting. :)
As far as I know, (and I don't know much) some women asked for their own board, or refused to post at all, because they were being abused on other boards. Originally, the intent was to have a woman-only board. Some men asked to be included, and agreed to follow the rules of what was originally intended to be a women-only board. Therefore, the point you're making is kind of irrelevant. So sorry. :)
-
Well it's MONDAY!!!!! 2:15am where I am and I'm venting because I got mandated to work overtime! I'm tired from the eight hours I already did, have to do 8 more, drive an hour to get home, lay down for hopefully at least 4 hours and come back to work. Screws up my training and my food for the day. And my friend is here. ok I'm done.

I missed Monday. I allowed some fool friend of mine to mess on my computer on Saturday. He crashed it. I've had this lovely iMac 7 years & updated it regularly and nothing has ever gone wrong with it.
So I've just spent 3 days getting it re-booted.
I was livid and I'll never again allow anyone else to play with my computer. Funny thing is, I've happily let 4 and 5 year old children play on it with no supervision.
One-night stand lovers even (remember how I arrived at Getbig?).
But this ex-friend of mine, he's going to school to learn IT and although he's a pc man, he also has his own Mac at home just for his musicmaking. He should have known better. He was downloading stuff onto a plug-in usb thing (yes folks, it's kinda common in England, he doesn't have internet at home) and bombed my beautiful machine.
I've lost most of my iTunes and all of my photos.
waaa
and he didn't even call me (after I gently and funnily ranted and raved at him on Sunday, before I realised how bad the problem was), on Monday or yesterday to see how i was doing.
This is after I'd been unplugged mostly for a few weeks whilst painting my livingroom after the fire. And after getting a brand new keyboard and mouse because the old ones got clogged up with soot. I was just all nice and newly set up and by coincidence, it got trashed again. Perhaps for the best, as I would have gone berserkers and stayed up till 4am on Getbig that night.
I'm fine now. I have a brand new HD and this keyboard is fantastic.
xL
can't imagine what I'll be pissed off about by next Monday...
Christmas probably, I have no family and few friends.
-
hi, ladies! :)
;D

Does it count if I felt this on Monday?????
I am really TIRED of being pregnant. This girl has got to come out!!! I cant walk 10 feet without labored breathing, my back hurts, my legs hurt, I have heartburn, I crave the sweetest and fattiest foods in the grocery store, and the pressure...lets not even get into that!!! It feels like I have just eaten a whole buffet...my belly is so tight! I don't even eat that much! I've only gained 25 lbs!!
AAAHHHHHHHH!!! These last 5 weeks are going to be HELL!!!
ok, i'm done...
-
What day is it, did I miss a day? Is it the full moon...
I actually don't have much to complain about at present. How about you?
This was supposed to be a place to get it all over and done with once a week.
xL
-
I missed Monday.
my iTunes
Can't believe it, but I have all of my iTunes, pretty much. My nextdoor neighbour (the computer whiz) has this little box thing for storage, so he downloaded my bombed HD before he made it all new.
And he managed to get my 7,000 songs on iTunes! Everything else is gone, but the documents were old rubbish anyways and my photos are all on CD or hotmail. I'm not ranting, I'm praising. I'm happy.
But I'd like to hear your venting instead, It'd make me more happy... for some sad reason other people's problems cheer me up. I'll re-phrase that, they make me feel lucky.
But I'm sure I'll be wretched again soon and will tell you all about it.

I'm going to have to return this (shopping

the thread that cap86 started really bothered me. it is titled "the word nig ga". so far it's 2 pages. I am bothered because I believe that many people hide behind this board. if they were in a "mixed crowd, face to face, I'm positive that they would not repeat the ignorant things they said on the board. I am african american and I am sick and tired of the racist BS that is tolerated on this board. I can deal with the negative comments made about female bodybuilders, after all it is, or at least I thought it was a board that was rooted in bodybuilding/strength training/competitions etc... I didn't expect to go on the board and feel like I walked into a klan meeting.
-
yep. I agree.
Is Cap86 always sore's new name, if so what's happened to the BKS? I haven't enough time to read it all.......

hit the report to mod button? that works in extreme situations.

stay on the girly board, you're safe here.
& ignore him.

with mad love
Linda
always feel welcome here and I did report the thread, thx, but I can't just "stay on the girly board because it's safe" not my style, plus my ancestors fought too hard for me to stay in one spot because it's safe.
-
I'm sorry, ...I know it's not monday, ...but sometimes a girl's just got to vent!
I'm ticked because my customized Christmas cards aren't here yet.
The company agreed to re-do them, ...but that's not gonna help me cause they won't arrive in time.
I don't even have time to run out and buy Christmas cards either, 'cause for some of them it won't get there in time.
I'm mad >:(
ok, now that I got that off my chest, I feel way better now. :)

I have plenty of black friends and none of them use that word yet I have to listen to ignorant morons use it every other word. If I wasn't at work having to listen to it, I would have said something, but if I did I would have been fired. What is ignorant about disagreeing with the use of a word? The only time people call things racist is when they are directed at black people. I totally ripped apart a segment if my OWN ethnicity (Italians) for being docuhebags and homos wearing all that Spikey hair and being "guidos". You didn't come to their defense if you saw it.

Is you the mod? I give up...

I gotta unload! The guys on a couple of these boards are really flicking me alot of shit. Doubting my credentials, telling me to prove my lifts, arguing with me over training protocols etc...WTF???? Why are they so pissed off? They ask questions, I answer, then they get nit-picky and downright rude. I've even had one guy threaten me...Good Grief...My trophies are not going to disappear from the gym and my records disappear from the record books because they don't believe it or feel threatened. Some people...

Fuck whatever people say. Know you are who you are and if people don't like it tell them "Have a Nice Day". I mean honestly, would Bon Jovi steer you wrong?

Buff...with some of these people on this site...you have to realize just who you are talking to. While some are true fans, historians, and believers in the sport...others are just haters. Plain and simple.
All that matters is that you believe in yourself....and keep doing whatcha doin!! Don't worry about validation from any of these people.

Can you guys do me a favor? Your MAAAaaa has started a campaign to try to make me look like an idiot, Alex23 just shut him down hardcore, but look at the thread about Can You Top Buff Goddess???? You guys want to let him know (after rteading Alex23's post) that he's the idiot and just got owned. He now needs to go into the back yard and chase his tail...

BuffGoddess, the best thing to do when people seem to be on a rampage against you is to ignore them. Quit trying to defend yourself unless you just enjoy arguing. A lot of people are mainly here to inflame.
Proshic is right:

Nothing new here, Buff. In your defence, a lot of people on here don't know the first thing about bbdg or fitness in general. I doubt some even workout. They stumble upon this website designed for bbdr's & fitness athletes and sign in. They are just average gym rats who go to the gym, go throught the motions and go home and eat McDonald's. They don't compete or attend shows. Nothing. Just ignore those posts and move on. If they really bother you, pm a mod. But sadly, we will always have haters in this business who will look at us like were freaks of nature. Just be happy with who you are and the accomplishments that you have made. My two pennies.

You're underestimating us, Playbuddy...
most people have a fair idea about weights and measures, irregardless of whether they spend time pumping. Anyways, it's a forum for fit people, that's all...
BuffGoddess has perhaps reincarnated as someone else, this thread is a year old, I just thought I'd reinstate it to prove I'm mad..

Monday 8:10 am: Horrid neighbours nextdoor go bleep bleep bleep with their remote and start up their moped approximately 10 foot away from my bedroom window. I asked once nicely a few months ago whether they wouldn't perhaps consider revving up once they got to the front road, but instead they threatened me (bloke and girlfriend, hey why aren't I surprised?) and continue to be the most anti-social neighbours one could wish for.
11am: Went for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

This forum was originally designed for bbdr's and fitness athletes both amature and pro and recreational bbdr's and fitness athletes who take their trining very serious. Problem is that others have taken it upon themselves to flood the forum and they don't even know the first thing about bbdg and fitness. That's why we have ridiculous boards on here that have absolutely nothing to do with bbdg or fitness. Don't confuse hardcore athletes with "fit average people".

Why do they make some philips head screws so cheaply so that you strip them with hardly any pressure? >:(

they don't perse, perhaps you buy em cheap ;D
are you uing the correct size screwdriver? Although a lot of sizes will work, the best fitting size will prevent damage to the screws and increase longevity.

I don't know about the size of screwdriver, I was using a drill w/a philips head tip...maybe that was the problem :-[ The screws came in the pleated shade packages. I ended up using the screws from the shades I took down. Now those were quality-made!

thanks so much STella.
You've raised one of the most disturbing questions known to womankind. I thought it was because they got rid of the 'straight headed' screws and screwdrivers and came up with all these other named ones which were brilliant at first but then don't fit if you can't find the right driver. They come in far too many sizes.
Then there's the problem with the size of plug to put in the hole you've made in the wall depending on the size of the drill bit and then finding the screw and screwdriver with the matching ends in the right size.
And you end up finding out you can't find it, having lent the one you need to the neighbour who never returns anything. I still have all my drill bits though...
Next Monday let's sort out how to work our chain saws?

Tools are very expensive. I lent out a cordless drill to a neighbour once and I never saw it again. I never said anything, but I learned my lesson fast and I am one to hold a grudge to the grave.

The way I see it, it cost me a cordless drill to get a knob of a neighbour out of my life.

I went away for the weekend and didn't return till last night, so I missed my Monday rant.
What happened was I arrived in Cambridge on Friday afternoon and my bestest oldest pal came to pick me up. She has a 14 year old daughter who goes to a private extremely expensive school. We all got in the car to drive 20 minutes home to the village I grew up in and which they still live in.
I'd travelled 3 or more hours and was carrying an overnight bag and wearing a woolly jumper and a big coat, thermal longjohns and cowboy boots and two pairs of socks, so after about 5 minutes I asked whether I could ask a silly question.
I said, oh wow I'm so hot, have you got the heating on? Is it okay if we turn it down?
Instead, the mother and daughter team in the front seats did a massive argument and the teenager put the heat on double full blast after that. Goodness only knows how the mother continued to drive whilst battling the teenager. At one point she pulled the car over and told the spoilt brat to get out of the car if she couldn't be considerate. But she kept cranking the heat up every time her mum made a right or a left turn. I sat in the back seat for another 15 minutes scared shitless and didn't say another word.
Did I say the wrong thing?
xL
-
See what happens when you don't put fear into your children, they act a fool! That is downright ridiculous.

Several years ago some new neighbors moved into the hood. They had relocated from South Africa. In the spring loaned them a fan, a dehumidifier and a rototiller. My husband asked for the rototiller back at the end of fall (garden cleanup). Never saw the fan or dehumidifier again :-\ We wondered if it was a cultural thing ??? not to return things :-\ (yah, this is the same guy who does yard work in his speedo :-X)
-
most of my neighbours (the new ones) are horrid, so I no longer lend anyone anything, in fact I don't answer the door, but some (just a few, the important ones, the ones I've known for 14 years) are fantastic, so I talk to them on the telephone.
I live in a Victorian terraced house converted into 3 flats and the other night (when I had to get up for 7:30 the next morning) someone was shouting from the street to the people upstairs nextdoor at 1:30am. I felt like going outside to show them how to use the doorbell but restrained myself.
Went for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy again today. I'm supposed to write down how I feel. In January. It's cold and extremely ugly outdoors. This is daft, surely? Am I supposed to feel different yet?
The builders didn't show up again today, but at least they 'phoned. Contractor said "we'll have to cancel our appointment because we'll need rearrange things to get someone in to do your plumbing". This is after I've had to book another week off work? I could've done it myself by now. Standing on my head.
Maybe I should be grateful that they figured out they might need a plumber if they were going to do my kitchen... I'm so pissed off with their utter incompetence.
my theory was that we do a rant once a week, let off steam and then for the rest of the week, we're sweetness and light?

Met some mates to go watch a just released American movie: Charlie Wilson's War
But I haven't a clue what it was about. Couldn't understand half of what they were saying. (& I'm the one who has lived in America. I doubt the people I was with could comprehend the dialogue at all). They should've subtitled it for a British audience...
Wish I'd stayed home and watched bbc tv, I missed a show I wanted to watch. Either that or my time would have been better spent playing scrabble or painting my toenails or perhaps scrubbing the kitchen floor.
xL
My 9-5 workday was awful too. The builders didn't show up again.
Has anyone else had a day worth ranting about?
-
Wow.
Two hours after that, like 11pm, after I've just settled down and gotten ready for bed and work tomorrow, the fire brigade showed up (and I so love the fire brigade).
>>2 big engines with flashy lights, hoses, pumps and helmets, the whole shebang. I opened the door and quickly showed them where the hydrant is near here and then asked if they'd like a cup of tea. There were about 20 of them. All were 6' tall, none had had time to shave since this morning, they all had huge shoulders, tight t-shirts... Made my day.
Turned out it was just the crack heads a few doors up the road setting fire to their mattress. £1,000's of pounds of tax payers money wasted.
Firemen asked me to witness so I gave them my 'phone number. Guess they know where I live...
-
Wow.

I dont like Mondays.
Tuesdays though, are often okay and I sometimes kinda like Wednesdays.
Hate Thursdays. Friday is usually great. & Saturday is often fun
...and I so adore Sundays. Just the name: Sun Day. Love it

perhaps that's how come I dislike Mondays
