Calling all contributing authors! DirtyLaundryDiva will be away from her blog for about 2 weeks and your rants are greatly needed here! Why not speak your mind here for a day? You know you want to!

Seriously though, I am off dealing with life and will continue to be for about another 2 weeks. I would love to have new content here but I just wont have enough time to draft a worthwhile post.

Good news is CattyAndCrazy contributed “A dirty little secret” which will go public on 9/1/08. It is a good read and I am very grateful for the contribution. If any of my other contributing authors choose to share a rant or three there will be new content here, if not you’ll just have to hang tight till I can return.

Okay, enough excuses about posting, here is my post for today:

Remember CrazyRantingLady? Well she has struck again and man do I fucking hate her. She is pretty messed up and she blames all her issues on the fact that she was abused as a child. Lets pause and survey for a moment, how many of you were abused? I was and I know many others were to.

Having a fucked up childhood is no excuse for being a fuck up. Many people have managed to rise above their circumstances and become decent human beings, you can too! Quit using your past a a crutch. That is my first beef with her.

Another issue I have is her instance on us being and acting the way she sees fit. Specifically she wants our lives to revolve around her. She is manipulative, self centered and superficial. Basically we’re supposed to call and inform her of all major events as they are happening or she looses her mind.

Basically if I was giving birth (no I am not pregnant) she would expect to be called precisely when the head emerges from my vagina and even then she would still criticize our timing in conceiving the baby cause it wasn’t convenient for her. She is just ridiculously draining and is basically an utter pain in the ass.

She is also incredibly paranoid and has a knack for turning everything around so that she is the focus. She either has some major drama where she is being shafted or she is just gossiping and causing trouble.

What happen was we called her to share some pretty exciting news and she was pissed that we didn’t inform her sooner (we called her the very next day). Basically instead of enjoying our moment together we are supposed to call her up and make her the center of attention.  It’s our fucking life and our excitement bitch! So yeah, she refused to be happy for us and we knew that was exactly how she was going to react…

What a fucking bitch! And she wonders why we don’t keep in touch with her more… It’s cause she is a fucking nut case!

Some of you know that NewscasterHottie and I are in the middle of a whole new set of life circumstances right now, that is why my posting has been lax. If you subscribe in a reader you’ll be notified of new posts as they are published instead of having to swing by my domain everyday looking for updates.

Anyway, today’s rant is brought to you by the oblivious self absorbed parents of college students! I am working on campus right now. Today I opted to spend my lunch at the campus coffee bean because they offer free wifi and have yummy tuna melts. NewscasterHottie was going to try meeting me for lunch also.

I got to campus coffee bean, get my wifi on and I enjoy a delicious caramel latte when I am finished I head out to my car. It is older, has a manual transmission and no power steering. I start it up, shift to 1st gear and get in the long ass line to exit the parking lot.

We sit there (myself and like 10 other cars in front of me) waiting for this asshat (look! I stole that word!) to make a left hand turn across 2 lanes of jam packed traffic. We all waited for about 8 minutes for this one person to make that left hand turn, then I remembered their is another exit from the parking lot I could try.

So I get myself out of the line of fucktards and head to the next exit and wadda ya know another asshat is doing the same thing. This time asshat #2 is trying to make a left across 4 lanes of even busier traffic. I sat there waiting as my anger level began to grow more and more…

My leg is cramping from pressing the break and clutch down and I have no AC so I am sweatting my ass off. I waited through 5 lights  of traffic (there was a stop light nearby and yes I counted) before I could make my fucking right hand turn.  Then I had to do it going up hill while stopping and going without rolling backwards into the jerk-offriding my ass with no power stearing.

Damn bitches! Drop your college bratts off and get the fuck out of our town you clog the streets (and parking lots) with your stupidity.

Do you think that satire and slander are the same thing? My guess is your answer will depend on on the issue at hand so lets look at a specific example… Did you feel the New Yorker cover by Barry Blitt titled “The politics of fear” was satire or slander? It probably depends on whether or not you like Obama huh?

I personally like Obama and I thought the cover was simply satire, they were trying to cause a stir and make people think. Yet so many people were in an uproar about it because they don’t distinguish between satire and slander. Do you?

Slander is defined as “the utterance of false charges or misrepresentations which defame and damage another’s reputation”.
Satire is trenchant wit, irony, or sarcasm used to expose and discredit vice or folly”.

The reason I ask is because this very blog and many of the blogs I have grown to love reading are also satire not slander in my eyes but the law is very unclear about it all. Bloggers have been sued for writing stuff and arguments about free speech have been brought up so where do you stand on it all?

Hey wordpress!!!

Yooooho?

Can somebody just fix the damn post author bug already? I mean there is a new version of Wordpress released like every month so common already! How hard is it for you brainy types to fix the database table thingy?

What? You have no idea what I am talking about? Here is a recap:

I have multiple authors on this blog but I (the blog administrator) also post entries on the blog. Imaging that a blog owner wanting to post on their own blog! Ever since I added other contributors I have lost the ability to write posts under my old admin/ user name. It just doesn’t show up under the post author pull down menu on the write post page. How does adding other contributors just make me invisible?

I read lots of gibberish crap about creating a user with admin privileges with the same user name/ credentials as the original admin/author. This does allow me to now post under my DirtyLaundryDiva user name but it doesn’t fix the default author selection at all! I also read a “fix” that talked about changing the roles of the users, then chaging them back. I went through all the hair pulling and did exactly what was explained. What a surprise it still does not fix the default author for me.

So if I forget to specify which author is posting my default author picked for me automatically based upon the the alphabetical order of all my authors when I am signed in as admin.

This is just plain annoying!

I don’t want to have to select myself as the author every time I post an entry on my own blog besides I never remember to! As a result my blog shows that cattyandcrazy is the author of my posts and she even gets moderation emails about the comments on those posts. Now she thinks I am posting under her user name or something and I have to go back and fix the error over and over again…

Seriously, WTF?

Oh look, a new update is out…

What do you want to bet it wont fix the issue I am having?

NewscasterHottie and I are ready to have a child, yeah I know we aren’t married. See we don’t care about the psycho religious idea that you have to be married first. We have been together for almost a decade and we don’t need no friggin marriage certificate to prove our commitment (that’s a rant for another post though).

So we decided to begin trying to have a child. We were working on baby making for about a year with no success… It’s kind of annoying that a 15 year old twit can have sex once and find herself with an unwanted pregnancy but a responsible, committed couple that waited until they were ready now will have the hardest time of their lives trying to procreate. The unprepared idiots have babies they can’t support but the non-idiotic responsible people can’t. WTF? I digress…

After a year of ovulation monitoring, timing sex and standing on my head I began to grow frustrated and made an appointment with the lady doctor. Towards the end of our year of trying I was so stressed that I even stopped having my period. I suspected my weight and high stress levels were contributing to my lack of menstruation and possibly my fertility. I went to the doctor to confirm this.

Now I know you are going to roll your eyes and judge me, I don’t give a fuck. If you think you can manage to open your mind to the possibility that not everyone fits your “being skinny is heaven” stereotype continue reading…

The truth is is I have always had problems being underweight and it sucks. Go ahead, think your rude comments, here I’ll help you. How could being too skinny be an issue? Just eat some chips and quit whining. Oh, and no I do not have an eating disorder, I am so sick of people immediately thinking this. I eat and digest tons of stuff (healthy and unhealthy) my weight stays the same. I have a very fast metabolism and I live an active life. My entire family has the same issue and we have come to accept it.

Right now my body fat percentage is at about 12% and I weigh about 108, I have tried everything I can to gain weight with little success. If I eat globs and globs of peanut butter on everything (we are talking like a cup or two a day) I can gain a few pounds but they never stick, plus eating that way is just nauseating.

So I enter the gynecologists office to get some answers. I take all my clothes off and put on that nasty exam gown and am waiting for my doctor. The nurse comes in and asks me if I am okay with having a trainee accompany my doctor for the exam. I am not a shy girl so I agree… They need to train somehow right?

In walks the doctor and trainee. We discuss my concerns regarding weight, stress and fertility. We go over my medical history and the trainee begins my exam.

The trainee takes my blood pressure and remarks at how small my arms are. Yep, I am skinny way to be observant genius! Didn’t we just go over my weight as one of my concerns?

Next she begins my breast exam and comments on how little fat I have on me, she goes on and on about how lucky I am because she is a fattie and so on… Um, hello! I am here as a result of my being skinny, remember? I am having fertility issues and my skinny state that you are envying is the cause! Way to not be sensitive to your patient, you suck!

Then she prepares to begin my vaginal exam. “Oh, wow! You are really tiny!” she exclaims while looking at my vagina. I guess she expected my vagina to be the same size as hers regardless of our weight differences.

“Yep, I am a small girl” I respond as I am biting my tongue. She then asks my doctor if she should use the child sized speculum since my vagina is so tiny. My doctor advises her this is not necessary and just tells her to use the smallest adult one.

It becomes increasing clear that the trainee is unprofessional, nervous and wearing on my last nerve. She was also just another example of how insensitive and ignorant people can be and she went to medical school. To me medical school and ignorance shouldn’t mix…

You would have thought this trainee had never encountered a skinny girl in all her life, she was treating me like I was a mutant of the species or something! Lets recap, my arms are small, I don’t have much fat on me and my vagina is small, thanks for pointing all that out doc now what about my fertility concerns?

If there are any medical professionals reading this please note: making the patient feel like a freak is not a helpful tactic. We already feel like we have issues that is why we made an appointment so get to the bottom of them and keep your stupid remarks to yourself!
