Aww now, you can't start being all sensitive-like in TAN..!

The posts I dislike the most on FB are the passive-aggressive, or veiled husband/family shaming posts. Recent examples - this first one REALLY got under my skin.

{photo of husband and son both on separate iPads}
Who needs a mommy or wife when they have their screens?

Wishing husband didn't have to travel all the time. Playing single mom again this week.

Can't sleep AGAIN because of husband's insanely loud snoring. 

{after daughter quit gymnastics - MEGA drama}
Trying to keep it together, here. Roughest week I can remember.




Those are veiled shaming. I may occasionally joke (OK Always) about stuff, but the ones you just wrote don't seem like jokes.

Those are exactly the kind of posts that absolutely annoy me.  

I think the person is HOPING the SO will see the post and feel bad enough to do... what?  Immediately change their ways?  Suddenly recognize how badly the other person has it and vows to do better?  If you're angry about something TELL the person, don't just whine about it online - because that's always the best course of action and solves everything.  Ugh.

I have made comments like the second.  About being a bachelor again with the wife away.  But I didn't mean it bad.  I DID wish she could be around more..

But the others?  Seriously, if you don't like them on the phone/ipad all day, say something TO THEM.

I'm the same way about being on my own for a night if Tony's away or out of town or something, as in "Oh shucks, I guess this means I have to have wine for dinner!  Rats!"   

But if something is truly bothering you, to talk to THEM about it!

Originally posted by tcarlson78 Hello everyone, someone, anybody??? Dear diary: Today is the fourth day of a five day weekend for the short people who only stop staring at a screen long enough to eat and ask what else is there to do, can I have a snack, and where is mommy? They have mastered the timing perfectly so I can not even accomplish a simple 30 second task without a question. Somehow they have brought in the neighbor kids and worked them into the rotation of questions and now the floor is covered with drink boxes, and random wrappers of snack products. Suggestions of reading a book, playing a game, or going outside earn a blank stare of confusion. And now they have found me. P.S. I would post a Pick of them but I hear that bothers some people.

Post away.  Not sure why if people get bothered by it, it should change what you want do to.

For me, I get annoyed with 20 consecutive pictures of babies.  But that's on me.  I don't expect them to change.  If it makes them happy to do it, then do it.  Good for them.  Just because I don't want to see it, doesn't mean they shouldn't post it.

Just because someone get's bother by eating junk food/pizza, doesn't mean I'm going to stop eating it.

If people want to post passive aggressive comments like just discussed.  Good for them.  I just don't particularly like them - but they shouldn't change for me.

TAN is so much better than FB. No rules (ok, three rules) and people are not afraid of giving or getting a poke. x2 for support too.

Happy Monday everyone!

What's the difference between a snowman and a snow woman?

'Sno balls!

Looks like we're getting a foot from this coastal hugging storm. Joy...

We didn't get the snow, we just had a 66 degree temperature swing.  We are -2 with -18 wind chill this morning.  This is why I hate Iowa right now.

Please keep it there, don't send it east.

 

We're hitting a low of 1 degree tomorrow, so unfortunately it looks like you are sending it this way.  No snow, at least, so that's something.

 

Good morning, TAN.

Can we get some of that precipitation on the West coast? Thanks!

NO!  We don't want 'em either, so we might as well share!   

This morning was fun - trying to find my biggest pair of work pants that would allow me to layer as much as possible under them.

Apparently half marathon training started yesterday... oops! 
I texted Brian what's up for tonight? And he replies "running my 3 miles, etc." - I have a spreadsheet for our training plan (naturally) but totally forgot the start date was this week.

We're doing RnR Raleigh in April, wheeeee!

Kudos to you. I can't even think about a race when I am up 25 lbs and the temperatures are so damn cold.

Along with stupid issues in my left side. I can't seem to make this IT band and pirformus sp? go away.

Starting to think my work shoes (steel toe) are horrible for my feet. The more I walk around this place (darn near jog) the worse my hip knee and ankle are getting.

Started back to regular massage and chrio but I can only afford to go so many times. Shocking not part of our free health care.

After looking at pictures from my aero camps, I want to drop a few lbs before I need to wear a tri suit in front of lots of people again. 

I've got Red Wing steel toed boots - quite comfy. Worth looking into replacing your everyday shoes.
