I'm not so thankful for:
1.) People who answer their phone and then shuffle around and rustle around and then go, "Can you call me back in 5 minutes?" It's like, um WHY did you ANSWER the phone in the first place??
2.) Restaurant coupons that make you think you're getting a deal (for instance: Buy a large pizza and get a kids' meal free) and then come to find out, the large pizza is $23 and the kids' meal was $3.40. That's NOT a deal! I can get 4 pizzas at Dominoe's for $20 and feed my family AND the neighborhood kids!
3.) Women's groups who only support women whose ideals and "platforms" match their own. Can't we just support one another, or at least not cut each other down??
4.) People who have no boundaries. Of course, they don't understand it when YOU establish boundaries. You become the meanie for "laying down the law."
5.) A sense of entitlement. Failure to plan on YOUR part does not constitute an emergency on mine. Here's some advice: if you don't have the money for it, don't buy it. If it breaks, you might have to fix it yourself. If you want something, you might have to work for it. It might take you longer, but you might have to actually do it yourself.
6.) Negative, ranting, ungrateful lists the day before Thanksgiving. I sure hope this blog author redeems herself with something positive tomorrow.

note to self: 'venting' before Thanksgiving leaves you room to make your thankful list ON Thanksgiving. rant on, Leon...
char, i love the idea of a pre-thankful, not so thankful list!! this is hilarious!
See? Maybe you started something here for all of us to "get off our chest" before the Thankful Day....
Ahhh, something refreshing for a change. I was starting to feel as though I'd been bashed over the head by the "thankful hammer" lately as everyone, it seems, has been espousing their "I'm so grateful" platitudes since the start of November. Not that I, myself, am not thankful for all the things in my life but sometimes, it's nice to take a walk on the anti-thankful side so that when we do give thanks, it actually has some substance to it. Does that make sense? I'm not saying we shouldn't be grateful every day but I think it is the things we aren't so grateful for that make us appreciate the good things we are thankful for. (sorry for my verboseness) Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, Char!!!
Thank you Char for being so damned ungrateful!!!
HAHA!
