The Trivial Complaints Thread ... #3

I HATE that I have days I'm too tired to do anything!!!
I have stuff I want & need to do ya daft freaking body!!!

I hear that. I have so many phone calls to make but I keep waking up after 5. Any earlier and I'm still so tired I can't keep my eyes open.

been really really down for the last couple of weeks. it's been a lot. i'll probably create a WYP post and explain more. it's nothing i haven't posted about before. just getting to the point where i'm realizing i need to take my mental health much more seriously and things aren't going to magically get better.

Allergies. It's been raining everyday, which is mostly good, but it makes things grow. We never get a break from pollen. Plus, the landscapers were here yesterday. They usually come on Mondays, but it's been raining, so yesterday they just did everything in the rain.

My eyes are very goopy and I have a sore throat from post nasal drip.

eww it is 90F out temp wise and humid so no flea market today.

Argh! I'm so itchy! I feel like I need to take a bath in cortisone cream!

My dad did it again!  He took all of the old VHS tapes I had sorted out and put them back up on the shelves.      Then he complains that we have too much stuff. How am I supposed to make more room if he undoes all of the work I do when I try to sort things and get rid of things?

Crowdstrike making work extra “jolly.”

How the world is dependent on tech.

So my rants for the day.

Dealing with internet hosting people. More explanation in the other thread so won't linger on it here. Think I just traumatised the second agent of the day.

Managed eventually to change batteries in my German Sweet Talker. Literally the moment I did that the Spanish one's battery died. So now I need 3 more batteries. Gah.

 I am going through my cupboard giving my ponies a long overdue spa. The ponies are a bit dusty but fine. Their ribbons and the elastic on things, different matter. Fabric and such - not done well. Baby boy bow ties are pretty wrecked. Baby Buggy and its lace is a hot mess, but fortunately I don't care too much about it (lol). Even more fortunately the Princess Baby Buggy is mostly ok (lace has lost elastic a bit and is a bit discoloured but still nothing extreme). It's currently in the middle of my floor because my charming father has reorganised the attic and the box has disappeared...

Ponies are ok though. So.

Walked to the local art show and back with Mum. Sandal broke on the way back. These are my walking sandals so I now have to find some more that don't rub. Because I had to pin it together and walk back funny, I now have blisters.

I think all my shrimp are dead I noticed two had passed away several days ago and couldn't remove the one because it decided to die in the Amazon fern. I did see a live adult and a baby about three days ago, but haven't seen anything since. I topped off the water and scooped out the old food today. I put new food in and made a lot of movement and stuff because they are curious and will come out and see what's going on, but none of them showed up. It's been a couple of hours and none have come to the food

This batch lasted four months, a month longer than the first. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I'm sorry BC.

I found out that Netflix is doing away with the Basic ad free plan.  That's the one I have, but I haven't gotten anything from Netflix about needing to upgrade.  I got an email from them last week, but it was just suggesting movies to watch, nothing about my account. 

The last time I logged in to Netflix was last month and there were no messages there either about needing to upgrade my subscription.   I hope there's not a problem when the auto payment is due.

We went out to eat tonight and the restaurant has several TVs mounted on the walls.  I was  glancing at one of the tvs and when I turned back there was an old man staring at me. He said I looked like a student he used to have, but didn't elaborate further.  I didn't recognize him, and he didn't give his name so I have no idea who he was.

I had to downgrade my Netflix because I can't afford the ad-free plan anymore. I didn't even know they had one with ads until I tried to cancel and it went to a page begging me not to go lol. It's 6.99 which is the same as Hulu and Amazon Prime (I get Prime at a discount due to my disability. Walmart+ too.)

Lots of complaints from me... I'm still very itchy, especially my back. I was going to get a back scrubber and some exfoliating scrub during Prime Day, but I didn't even have enough for that. I do have a Bear Claw back scratcher which helps. I'm itchy all over though. I'm not sure what it's from unless it's all related to allergies. Or maybe it's a side effect of one of my medications I stopped?

I couldn't sleep again last night. I'm finding it very difficult to lie down without getting a headache. I noticed I can't calm my breathing either.

[Taffeta]

I wonder what this means for Netflix in the UK, will be keeping an eye open for changes. Already annoyed about Prime demanding extra fees and yet now including ads.

My complaint for today is actually pony people on social media. Me reminding myself why I use it so sparingly.

The streaming platform that gives us ads (after we pay for the service!) that really bugs me is Amazon!  Especially now that it has become more third-party product ads instead of just "watch this cool show we spent a lot of money to produce!"

[Ponyfan]

I'm hoping Netflix gives some kind of official notice and not just an announcement made on a news broadcast.  It seems like Netflix should let you know when you need to upgrade to a higher plan.  I tried googling it, but all that came up was unhelpful info that sounds like it's different for everyone.


I read that Crunchyroll had to take away all the comments on their anime episodes because there were some really inappropriate comments made.  I have no idea what they were.  If I even looked at the comments, they were mostly about the content of the episodes.

I did some Googling and I think the itching might be due to stopping my thyroid med. My dog had terribly dry and itchy skin before he was put on thyroid meds. Last night I scratched the hell out of the top of my foot. I didn't think I was being so rough, but now it's all red and it stings.

None of my eBay auctions sold I was sure two would because they had so many watchers.

On top of being out of all my prescription meds, I just took the last of my headache medicine. I do have regular aspirin and ibuprofen but they don't work as fast as the generic Excedrin.
