To rant, or not to rant, that is the question. Every now and then it just bursts out of me. Most times I can manage to maintain my cool. I believe it's healthy to rant, and I'm not sure why I don't rant more, since it feels Sooooo GOOD!
I could rant about a family situation that needs to be resolved, or about STUPID drivers who shouldn't be allowed to drive when they forget to bring their brains along. I could complain about house maintenance that really needed to be done years ago and is STILL waiting, or I could rant about my own indecisiveness.
I could snarl at the dryer that's been shrinking all my clothes, or the unbelieveable expectations of the Adkins diet! Then, there's this spectacular plant that was just astounding in my gardens this year, and it turns out it's an ANNUAL! Twenty bucks I spent for three of them.....I NEVER spend that kind of money on annuals......Oh, sorry....got side tracked.
I'd like to continue ranting about the cost of prescription meds, and add property taxes to the list of absurd things our peers have forced on us.
I want to take to task parents who can't be bothered to spend time guiding their children, and children who can't be bothered to keep in touch with their aging parents.
I want to beat up people who kick cats, and who aim for living creatures on the road, and I want to do severe damage to adults who suck kids into gangs and then demand as initiation a drive by shooting.
I want to think of nasty and inventive ways to pursuade people not to lie!
AND, I'd like to remind you that just because I tend to write about good things....or NICE things.....that doesn't mean I am unable to think less of you if you are rude to me, or if you flip me off because you think I am too OLD to understand what you're thinking.
(shooting my too short from the dryer cuffs.....circling my chin......visably settling my feathers.)
I hope yall have a LOVELY night!

...I tend to rant less because I now see the futility of it all - I never got to change the world, I never got it "my way"...so now I whine....when you rant people just shout back but when you whine they end u p agreeing with you...it's true, honest...you don't agree with me...go on I bet you do...please, agree with me...I'll be your bestest friend...go on...say you agree and I'll stop...I will honest...soon...go on...agree with me :^)...

Billy - that was pathetic, I'll agree with you just so I don't have to read any more of that!

Dang Buffy I'm impressed. You ranted without any cusswords. I didn't think it could be done.
Then I have to ask why?

Egad...the man's gone off the deep end! (locking him in the whiner's closet and throwing away the key.)
Dawn...I was just warming up. I rarely get to the point of cussing, and when I do, "S**T and DamnitalltoHELL, and F**K work. My husband and his children don't cuss..or at least, not when I'm around. It embarrasses me that I do, so I've tried to cut back on their behalf. If I needed to rant frequently, I'd take a page from my father and find quality English phrases to burn a strip off the offender.
Do you have any of those to recommend??? (hopeful look)
