Rant of the Day (part 2) {keep it non-political)

[Magus]

My day simply did not exist. I'm headed to the store at 6:00 tonight.

My brother has suddenly decided that he thinks I gaslight him. He's the one who tells me that things I experienced didn't happen, that things I said were not what I said, and lies about things he's done or hasn't done. Claims he cleaned stuff when he didn't or claims that he didn't leave the wet wipes container open. Last night I can't even remember what we were talking about but he called me a liar and claimed that I'm always gaslighting him. He pulls what psychologists call DARVO. I just laughed at him. I don't know if he really believes what he's saying or if he's lying to not admit things. He always has had a penchant for lying profusely. It was much worse when he was younger. That is only a mild gripe though.

Princess was extremely agitated last night. No idea what was wrong. She climbed on me shivering so I put covers over her but she moved off to the side and then kept moving around every couple of minutes. Every time I put covers on her to warm her up she'd move. So I stopped and tried to get some sleep. I sleep on my right side. She was resting up against my back shivering for a couple minutes, then got up and stomped on my head/face to get over to a dog bed next to me, couple minutes later she climbed parallel to me and was resting against my front for a couple of minutes, then she climbed over my legs and around to the same spot at my back again. Each time she only stayed for a couple of minutes before moving again. Back stomping on my head-- and repeated over 10 times at least. I finally got up and she ran to Mom's bedroom door. I let her in and Mom wasn't in there. She jumped on the bed and then wanted back out and made a b-line for the living room. I let her in to the living room where Mom was using her computer. Princess wanted on her lap. So she held her for a couple of minutes before Princess wanted back down. We have multiple dog beds and she kept moving from one to another and then followed me out of the room. She did the same routine of moving around on my bed several more times and finally settled down for about an hour. Then she woke up and stomped on me again so I got up and she ran to Mom's door. I opened it and Mom was sleeping. She had to go stand on her hind legs and look at her and didn't want to leave the room at first. She kept standing there looking at me with one paw curled up before she finally followed me out. I went back to bed and she did her routine a few more times before finally settling down again.

I still have no idea what the problem was. She seems fine now.

I know about DARVO, that's not you, Zannej. Sometimes gaslighters/liars tell the other person that's what they are.
It's not you, it's him.

You have spirits about.

I meant my brother pulls DARVO. LOL. He isn't familiar with the term. And he totally missed it when I said "Darvo" when he was telling me that I'm "always gaslighting" him. He apparently went and announced to Mom that I've been gaslighting him. LOL. She said he ranted at her for awhile and she rolled her eyes until he finished ranting and walked out. Then she said "idiot". So at least she knows he's full-of-it. He really has skewed memories of things and seems to think people were always against him even though he was spoiled rotten and almost always got his way. At least he's a halfway decent cook. He thinks he's an amazing cook though. LOL. He accused me of gaslighting him when I said that Mom was a better cook when she actually cooked. He's got a very thin skin. He's never been able to handle even constructive criticism without getting butthurt. As much as I gripe, he's not a terrible person though. Most of the time he can be very sweet but he has main character syndrome.

 

[Magus]

I have fun with gaslighters.
OH yes, I remember that! I remember it because you stubbed your toe and said **** in front of Mom!
It was right before that!

him:
Umm. Ok.

By the way, do you have that twenty bucks you owe me or do you want to work it off again?

Him:
Uh, I don't owe you...

Yes, you do. You said you needed a hit for about ten days, and it's been a month! I'm patient, but I need my money, too. If you're going to try to swindle me, I won't be loaning you any more money!
I understand you're broke, so get the lawnmower, take out the trash, and we're square!

At this point, he'll pay up to keep his sucker on the line, do some work or run away for a couple of months hoping you'll forget it.

Pry the top of his head off and make an apartment and live there rent free!

I have a rant. It's about people who take their GD dogs in the grocery store while they shop. Leave your stupid mutt out in the car like the rest of us do! I complain to the manager everytime I see someone with a dog in the store. It seems like most managers don't want confrontation, or they don't want to offend the people with the dogs. Cowards.

So I just cancelled my Netflix. Why? I told them when they asked why. I am tired of only being able to watch non US tv shows on there because they are almost all woke. Why does every President in every tv show it comes up have to be a black woman? Why does every tv show have to have at least one LGBDXYZ in it? They are STILL just a small minority. I am sick and tired of all damned minorities being overrepresented in tv show AND politics. You don't see this in Asian shows, or Mexican ones or Turkish ones. Just US ones ( and some European ones too but there isn't much I watch from there anyway)
I told them the only American tv show I liked in the last 10 years was Cobra Kai. YEs, they had minorities in them too, but not overrepresented and it wasn't the focus of the show.
The last straw was watching "love is blind" for about 20 minutes and some white woman made it a point to make sure the guy she was talking to did NOT like President Trump, because she would never go out with anyone that voted for him.....
Done , cancelled! I will watch my German farm show with not a single minority or LGBD in it, or my Turkish soap opera with none of that either !

So I just cancelled my Netflix.

I dumped them years ago when they kept cancelling all the shows I liked after 2 seasons. Even worse now that they went all WOKE.

 

[Magus]

I just watch whatever I want online or DL it.

Better yet, leave the dog home!! If Bear needs to go shopping, we go to TSC. There is a grocery store in town with a sign on the door, " service dogs only, no pets allowed, no exceptions"!!

My mom used to bring Fippy in to the store and it was embarrassing to me. Back before she became disabled I would wait in the vehicle with Fippy or I'd put him on his leash and walk him around outside while she was in the store. It's not uncommon for people to bring their dogs into stores here. I've seen a few service dogs (with the service dog harnesses and labels) but sometimes its obvious they aren't service dogs. I like dogs so I always say hello to the doggies. It doesn't bother me. I'm more bothered by people's kids that run amok ramming into people, pulling things off shelves, or screaming like maniacs. The dogs I've seen have always been well-behaved. That said, people should not be bringing them in if they aren't service dogs-- unless it's a store that allows pets like TSC or Petsmart.

I sometimes get text messages or e-mails telling me something about my Netflix account. Straight to SPAM. I've never had a Netflix account. Downloading seems to be the way to go now. I like a few UK programs like Death In Paradise, Beyond Paradise, Midsomer Murders, Father Brown, & Sister Boniface Mysteries.

Stupid mice chewed my waterproof apron up. Also, the diabetes supply place hasn't sent my mother's cannulas yet and I put in the order a few weeks ago. I'm going to have to call them up and ask them what the holdup is because she only has a couple of them left and I need to change one out tomorrow.
