I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Am I the only person who has a hard time getting through on the phone to a doctor's office any more? They all just send you to the voicemail system, and if you're lucky, you get a call back.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I feel increasingly lucky with my medical practice -- you can get to a person in any department really easily. But I don't have any prescriptions, much less difficult prescriptions.

What exactly is the behavior that earned you being called an asshole? The hivemind shall judge.

I like this idea. We are impartial! (although at first I thought you said the Beyhive will judge, and that seemed like possibly going a little overboard.)

Gud, you are Not defective! Do not listen to the brain weasels!

ION, this is the 2nd time I have unsubscribed my father from Women's Health magazine. Argh.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Am I the only person who has a hard time getting through on the phone to a doctor's office any more? They all just send you to the voicemail system, and if you're lucky, you get a call back.

That's one of the many reasons I fired my psychiatrist. I'm fine with leaving a message, but I expect a call back within 24 hours, faster if I need something urgently. A doctor's office should not be held to less rigorous standards of customer care than I am.

Oh, the problem was that I haven't done anything to fix her old car yet. I was kinda holding off until we cleared some expenses and hoping to maybe fix it myself. She took her new car tonight at least. Maybe I can sneak a look at the mass airflow sensor tonight.Overall the car is running pretty well, but it is a little jerky when accelerating some of the time. Unfortunately it behaved perfectly when the mechanic took a look at it.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

She has TWO. CARS. Am I right? Two that are hers, not that she shares with you. So she can choose to drive the new one. She can choose from one of her TWO. CARS.

Someone is the asshole in this situation, Gud, and it's NOT YOU.

I implore you to get counseling, either with your wife or just you. You desperately need an objective party to sort out this relationship.

This. So much this. While couple's counseling would be ideal, you being able to see a counselor on your own so you can get some impartial feedback is just as important.

Gud, your wife is being unreasonable. That's not fair to you, and that's not fair to the kids.

I'm with Steph like a MILLION TIMES

She is using this as a weapon to beat you down.
