We spent 12+ hours painting the bathroom this weekend. On the ceiling: one coat of Kilz, then 2 coats of the white ceiling paint that goes on pink and then turns white. Welp, 36 hours after letting the paint dry, I took my first shower. The entire ceiling turned pink again, looked like it was holding the water, and it began dripping down the walls. H touched a spot and the paint came right off on his hand. I have NEVER seen this happen before. I have called numerous friends who are contractors/painters and none of them have seen it before either. I am so pissed! We spend a few hundred to have the contractor do the ceiling for us, and we may now have to pay him more money to re-sand the whole thing, and at this point I'll just pay his painter to redo the ceiling. Cuz, y'know, we have that extra money just hanging around.
That is bizzare. I've painted a bathroom ceiling before and never had a problem.

Who needs the EOB's? Even if you aren't with that doctor anymore if they don't have the EOB's on file they can get copies a lot faster.
Supposedly the rep for the FSA needs an itemized bill or EOBs for each visit. I've never gotten an itemized receipt for an annual appt, which is one that was denied.
The doctor should definitely have it on file. They're supposed to keep those for a certain period. They can also call and get it easier than you can because insurance companies suck. They're required to give you an itemized receipt and any other medical files you ask for.
Another bitch for today. Why am I so emotional right now? Like come on, I should not be this weepy all the time. Also I am having a really hard time finding a place that will let me bring my turtles. I just want to bring 2 of them! THEY ARE FUCKING TURTLES it's not like they're dogs! They don't make a mess, they don't make noise. FFS And one place wanted 25$ a month extra for fucking turtles! I'd do like a one time fee but I don't even spend 25$ a month on their food!
I just wouldn't even tell them. I had cats in multiple apartments and even my dog in a house without anyone knowing for a while.
ETA: If someone ever has to come in for repairs or something, just throw a blanket over their enclosure.
My bitching goes to my MIL. Why in the world would you think it's okay to give me baby items whenever I see you. An outfit here, shoes there. Also stop asking me when I'm going to give you a grandchild. You have three enjoy them!! Ahhh
ugh, so annoying. My FIL is like that. He bought a couple of pairs of baby shoes at a garage sale this summer and gave them to DH. He has 5 step grandchildren so he likes to cry about how he wants a "real" grandchild from his son. Which is actually incredibly rude to the others.
Oh that's awful. I feel bad for the other grand kids. My MIL also like to tell everyone that I'm going to have triplets because she had twins. She thinks it's so funny.... Because that is how this all works, you want it so that's what's will happen.

My bitch- I haven't had chipotle in months. Work brought me to civilization today, and I was thrilled to get chipotle. 45 minute line, no carnitas, no gaucamole: my dreams have died.

This is such an odd, odd thing to say.
The amount of people who have to me, unprompted and completely individually, that I'm going to have triplets is enough for me to actually be a little scared...
my bitch is attorneys today. They can all go home and go back to bed and start again tomorrow. It's been a shitty Monday already to say the least.
Do you work at a law firm? I used to, and some of the attorneys reallllyyyy made me feel ungodly rage. Like the bar exam turned them into demigods. (Two were super helpful though when I needed them -- in case any GBCB-ers are attorneys and think I'm overgeneralizing!)
I feel guilty today because we missed my niece's 13th birthday yesterday. My SIL did only tell us the morning of that she was having people over, and we had work-related plans already made that were important, but I still felt like a poop aunt. H feels bad, too. We need to figure out something we can get her or do with her.

My Bitch today is that I'm home sick with a terrible sinus infection and I've gotten three different phone calls from co-workers with things they think are emergencies. I asked every one of them if this could wait until tomorrow. They all said yes...Then WHY are you calling me. I rarely take a sick day, but when I do, respect me enough to leave me alone!

Kinda of. I work in the Public Defenders office. Only 1 of our attorneys is driving me batty. Its the rest of the courts that are pissing me off. The magistrate *thinks* he is a judge and really isnt and has a god-complex. Extremely annoying.
My bitch is at the school buses that have to stop at every. single. fucking. house. Seriously? And when you realize there's a car behind you, and you've already made them stop four times, you can't just, I don't know, wave them around before you turn on your fancy flashing lights?
I get stopping at houses for special needs children and MAYBE for elementary school children (I had to walk damn near a mile to my bus stop in elementary school... just sayin'), but the bus this morning was stopping for what were clearly high school kids. This is why our kids are so fat.
Yeah, they're just doing it to piss you off.
Mind you this is just one of the things horribly wrong with your post, but seems like most others covered that base for you.
CFNBC - PCOS, one tube. Tried getting a baby in me for a couple years. Diagnosed with Stage IV adenocarcinoma of the lung in August 2013 with metastases in the liver, bone and brain. Going through peri-menopause because of treatments. On a daily chemotherapy pill called Zykadia and it makes me pretty sick. I wanted to lose weight but not this way!! Fighting every fucking day. Got questions? Ask me.
SheilaTheTank @lildiamondeyes he is sending me a voucher for 2 free gallons of paint. He recommended another layer of Kilz, with 2 coats of plain white ceiling paint over top. However, we are reading online from other people with the same issue that when they tried this approach, it made it worse. Our options are now 1) wait 30 days for it to "cure" and HOPE that it doesn't continue happening (also, cannot use the bathroom for showers during that 30 days) or 2) pay for the contractor to come back, sand again, and have them re-paint it. I am almost ready to cry.
This is bullshit. I'm sorry you are dealing with this. I have painted a lot of rooms, including bathrooms, but never used glidden, kinda glad now I haven't
Sorry you're dealing with this mistabinx. We had a similar problem with Glidden paint in our hallway. Brand new can of paint, shook it up, applied it to the walls and it just started running down them and pooling on the drop cloth at the bottom. The paint guy at Home Depot said he'd never heard of it happening before and we must have messed it up somehow.
I'd push the vendor for something better than 2 cans of paint. Resolving this issue is going to cost you more than that.
And ditto whoever suggested talking about it on social media. Brands are very defensive about their social media reputation these days.

Oh god, this is my FIL, minus the giving us baby stuff. His wife (H's step-mom) has two kids, each of whom have at least two kids. They spoil those kids rotten, but he still is always on us about giving him some grandchildren of "his own".
Kinda makes me dread what'll happen when I finally do get pregnant.
2nd bitch of the day: our clients website. JFC everything that could have gone wrong with the website has. The web designer is making the issues worse. Why cant you just follow instructions?
Some web designers just don't know what the fuck they're doing. I have to fix shit all the time because idiots.
Is there any way y'all can sand it and use a different brand to re-paint so you don't have to pay the contractor? Or even scrape it off, sand, a repaint? I think we used Olympic or Valspar (from Lowes) for our bathroom ceiling and didn't have any problems.
It is possible to sand it on our own, but it's not easy and my H has a bad back (he broke 2 vertebrae a few years ago, he's in pain on a regular basis to begin with) so I think the most efficient way would be to pay the contractor, as they have better equipment and can do it faster and probably better than we could. I will DEFINITELY be using a different brand of paint! Glidden can KMA.
FWIW - I've had really good experiences with the Martha Stewart line of paints that Home Depot carries.
I am so late to this party! H and I had to drive home from my parent's this morning, 3 hour drive, H slept the whole time, except to wake up and tell me I was driving wrong. I went out to the grocery store and arrived home to find he had done nothing I asked (clear the ice/snow out of the drive way so tomorrow's 12-16 inches don't make any bigger mess) h's being a debby downer and I'm tired of it.

Me too. It is going to be interesting for sure once we do have kids.
DH and his dad have a strange relationship... DH loves his dad like crazy and he's a decent guy, but his dad take major advantage of the love and respect that DH has for him. It makes me sad. FIL is going to be all sorts of possessive over his grandkids if and when we do have them and it is going to make for an interesting family dynamic. He already gets all butt hurt when he finds out we have had dinner with DH's mom or my mom and he "hasn't seen us in a while." I sense some not so fun conversations about all of that in the future.
Without getting into the gory details, my bitch today is that dealing with an aging alcoholic parent sucks the biggest, hairiest set of monkey balls and I would not wish it on my worst enemy.
I just wanted to share. This weekend I was at a small girls night and we were all laughing and drinking wine and baby-making came up. None of my friends know we are trying, so I just stayed quiet... But there was this one girl there (whom I'd never met before) and she just kept going on and on about how SUPER FERTILE she is and it's a joke between her and her husband that because she got KU the first try and then once while on her IUD that the OB recommends she get the shot and use condoms ALL THE TIME or she'll get pregnant again.
She just kept laughing about it and bringing it back up. I just sat there quietly thinking "the BABs would have a heyday with this."
DH and I have been stranded at home since Thursday. First both of our cars broke down (my alternator died a day after his, wtf?) and now we're getting hit with a snow storm. We had to cancel all of his appointments. No appointments = no money coming in. So now we have no money coming in, two cars to fix and a bunch of people to reschedule.

I'm so sorry. Believe me when I say I understand. Alcoholism is terrible and dealing it with your parents is the worst. *hugs*

Bitching at my dear, sweet husband who I don't want to strangle at all today.
We live a rural area that doesn't have trash service. Meaning we get to load it up and haul it to the dump ourselves.
This is the only recurring chore that I ask of him. He all but refuses to do it. It's really come to ahead this afternoon since I just loaded my truck with a full bag of cans, a full bag of plastics, too many bags/boxes of cardboard to count and several bags of garbage.
What I really don't understand is that he's clearly been taking the regular garbage but leaving all the recyclables. There's months worth.

I can't imagine living somewhere where there isn't garbage pickup.

It's a pain in the ass. For sure. I'm glad I moved, and don't have to deal with it anymore.
