Well, it is early here in Nebraska and I woke up with snow on the deck. Today, I want to vent about a nameless lady who spent all day Saturday playing on her computer doing her genealogy and posting on boards INSTEAD OF CLEANING HER HOUSE!

Do you have anything you'd like to get off your chest?

Two inches of rain today and tonight turning to ice, again. Tired of ice!{#emotions_dlg.angry}

Fate whispers to her, "You cannot withstand the storm." She whispers back, "I am the storm."

Why do we give complaining a better name. Such as Vent. Venting is complaining.

This is a beautiful day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice in it!!!

No complaints here.

I find private journaling is a way better and satisfying way to vent and get things off your chest.

I'll vent that 2 threads for this are 2 threads too much.

Someone mentioned yesterday that it would be nice to have a daily vent thread and JJ supplied one. Someone else could supply a daily joy thread if they like. There can be fun in both.

Hey, I'm okay with you complaining about a "venting" thread. At least you got it off your chest!

When people vent are they called venters or whiners?
