Well this just happened. We have some construction guys working downstairs and it seems like they are having a bad day. I guess they do not realize that my office is right above them and one of them JUST said, "well I wonder what the bitch is going to say about this". I know they were referring to me.
I confess that I am thinking about not telling my husband because he will either kill them or fire them. I do not want a half finished job or a husband in the big house. So instead I think I will just go upstairs.

Another FFFC: Admin some of these moderators that havent been online here or active for months should be removed. I find it so weird. And I know life happens but it annoys me for some reason I could not even tell you who is a mod. (This is not a comment on availability, it's a confession of how unobservant I am.) It’s on the members list. Posters like Riscaboob. Ketchup. It’s been easily a 1/2 a year since either posted. Why have Global Mod and Mod powers whatever they are if you’re never here. We police ourselves very wel. Life happens. Shit happens. Just think it odd you’re a mod and never here. 🤷🏾♀️

Here, this will probably start us on more pages of horse shit: I’m staunchly and vocally anti-gun, as you all know. I hate guns. I don’t believe in them. I applied for my firearm license and am looking for a shooting range that won’t require NRA membership (bc absolutely not). This country scares me and it’s time to become a responsible gun owner.* *I will take all safety courses, obviously keep it in an appropriate safe, unloaded. Let us limit the horse shit. Look for a hunter safety course. They are good with basics of owning, cleaning, safety, the laws etc. and will take you shooting as well. If they are supported by the nra its one of the things the nra actually does well. That and their support of the us Olympic shooting team. That stuff used to be long tine ago their backbone strengths. I would support them going back to just that, and not politics at all. I just can’t give them money. But I will take the class advice, thank you!

I’d have yelled back -the bitch heard you. And kicked them out. You’re not disrespecting me in my own home.

If my home was broken into and TVs were all that was stolen I would be so thankful. Laptops I see why that’s more of a pain, but still. Honestly if anything was stolen but they left my family alone I’d be thankful.

Me and my cat are driving up the interstate (I guess) with our dunks getting ready to fight her and her cat. After that we are going to drive on the other interstate and make miawallace taste test a dunkin donut and a Krispy Kreme donut and tell me to my face they taste the same. We are very aggressive today.

Are you home alone? I would tell them to leave now. I have kicked out workers from my house before for raising their voice at me.

When I was 17 my dad pissed me off or something one Friday night so I decided to go stay at my mom's but didn't call first. My stepdad got rid of his gun the next day because he nearly pulled it on me and scared himself. I’m sorry that happened but I’m glad everything turned out all right. We have had a number of incidents in my family where people who followed all the rules of safe gun ownership fucked up (mental health break, gun misfire, and child overhearing the safe combo) that I just don’t get how it would be worth it. I get it. He and I have a close relationship (we did then as well) and he just went to intruder brain since he didn't know I was coming and it was truly a "you don' know what you'll do when you hear a teenager late at night" And he's a vet with all the training and had it locked etc. I didn't even know he owned a gun.

I don’t have a bat under my bed. Is this a fffc? Me, neither. And our front and back doors are usually unlocked. But why? Do you have kids? That's just creating opportunity. I have questions.

We have 9 guns.
You’d have to go through a series of three safes with three different combos to even get the keys to our (unloaded) guns safe. And the ammo is locked separately in another safe.
But we have guns for hunting, not for protection. Though it’d work in a pinch I guess. If the criminals were patient.

I have had a plumber get upset with me because his boss did not give him the correct background on the project before he got here. He then had to leave a few times to get items/tools he didn't have. At some point he was going to replace something for me but refused to show me what it would look like before hand. Told me that his office wouldn't send a picture and if he left to get it I HAD to buy it.
He also told me that the lifespan of a toilet was 7 years. Conveniently the same age as my toilet.
I told him to GTFO at that point.
I get so upset whenever this company is praised on my local FB.

We also have a dog which is our front line deterrent. My work prosecuted a prolific serial rapist a number of years back. During his interviews, he told investigators the biggest deterrent for him when choosing a victim/house was the presence of a dog, no matter the size. Even small yappy dogs bring too much attention. A formally local to me serial killer had said the same thing.

I'm not CurlieWhirlie but i believe she lives in a safe little bubble area. I, OTOH, live not too far away distance wise, but vastly different safety wise. I too leave my backdoor open and unlocked during summer months. Gotta get that bay breeze somehow.

I rather talk about dressers and the lack of asserting yourself ALL day than some of the other hot topics

STP I get that. I know we will be getting one soon as DH hunts and my mind always goes to, if we were forced to feed ourselves would we own anything to make that even possible? I'd like to have one as an option for eating if shit gets real rough. Also snare wire and vegetable seeds. lol that's where my anxiety goes anyway deep woods survival was were mine and MH minds went. He stocked the garage with a survival equipment for just in case, i should add seeds to that

I confess I don't think I'd be rattled about someone calling me a bitch. I guess I can't speak to the fact that someone might feel unsafe in their own home alone with two strange men... but the specific incident of someone calling me a bitch as described wouldn't make me feel unsafe. They didnt' say it TO her, she overhead. Yeah, I don't feel unsafe, I am pissed.

Confession - I used to PM Narnia about the over abundance of mods she had. How some had not posted in forever and a day etc. She would ignore me and not listen and not remove anyone or cut back.
Then...it was a mod that pissed her off and moved all the threads remember and she was shooketh.
I PM her and was like, "don't be shook now, I told you."

I admit if they were doing good work, I wouldn't say anything about the bitch thing.
I would however say something on the end.
I might ask for a discount for calling me a bitch in my home?

Yeah, I don't feel unsafe, I am pissed. I have a long-standing specific relationship with the word bitch. I embrace it and do not mind the term. I know not everyone feels the same way. Depending on how it's used, I would just take some pity on the unevolved fool that doesn't know how to deal with women who are in charge. But it doesn't change that I'm in charge, so they can keep on calling me whatever, I'm still in charge. I know this is cheesy AF but in high school my friends and I would always sort of shrug and be like " Babe In Total Control of Herself" I wouldn't give these men any kind of power to shake you like this. Fuck em. I’m very unevolved. You seeing me on the street calling me a bitch I’ll say fuck you and drive on by. You Iny house doing work I commissioned wouldn’t fly at all. For me. If they didn’t own the company I would be escalating that shit. I’m growing and working on me but in the interim hell fucking no.

I wasn't saying that any individual woman and her reaction to being called a bitch meant anything about your evolution. I'm just talking about these idiots who are calling her a bitch. Anyway you can and should feel however you want. I do wish we had more information because it seems super unprofessional to just say that shit, so I wish I knew what lead up to it. I was being very TIC in regards to the unevolved comment in regards to myself.
