You're not overreacting in my opinion.

Taking people for granted and not delivering on promises is disrespectful. If someone for any reason can't deliver on their promises - they could always call, e-mail or text you wishing you happy holidays. Being negligent and lacks is one thing, there's no reason to be rude.

This exact behaviour annoys me to death too - a little courtesy on occasion (and on 'occasions', hehe) can make a whole lot of difference.


On a side note; I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother. I hope she had a fulfilling life and a pleasant final few years.

That girl that was too lazy to send the Christmas card just sent me a text saying merry Christmas, so I guess that's something.

You're absolutely right. I want people to be courteous to me, as I am to them.

Thanks, buddy. Her final year or so wasn't so good but she lived a big life before it. :)

^ I'm really sorry to hear this Mikey. I understand how you feel though and in no way do I think you're overreacting. Like others have said it is completely natural to feel what you do. I've had stuff like this happen in the past too, as I'm sure a lot of other people have, and I have felt the exact same. I always try and reply back to people's compliments/nice statements (a simple "thanks" usually does justice), because I really appreciate those things and I like the same done in return when I manage to compliment someone. That being said though, that doesn't apply to everyone. Marie said it well, some people really do just accept it and then brush it off because it's no big deal to them.

As for the whole card and gift things, post is very unreliable this time of year. Here too, which is exactly why I haven't sent out your letter/card yet either. Even if I sent it last week, I highly doubt it would've even gotten to you before the holidays. (Not to mention I've been a bit busy with other things too.) So hang in there buddy, I'm sure after the holidays you'll probably get something. At least from me anyway. ;)

I hope this all hasn't completely soiled your holiday or anything. You deserve to have a great Christmas! :thumbup:

Yeah, I think Marie was correct - different people handle it in different ways. I'm sorry that happens to you, as well.

Haha, thanks. I'll be okay for Christmas.

Just saw a funny post on my coworker's facebook page in which she has tagged all of her coworkers...except me! Harumph.:confused:

I'm sorry. Maybe there's some explanation, but it still feels cruddy to be overlooked, even for something like this.

Erm... I had a nice Christmas Eve meal with my grandfather and aunt and siblings. It was delicious, really truly yummy (Thai scallops with baby bok choy with chili glaze and coconut rice!). However... he didn't get us anything for Chanukah or Christmas.

I don't really care about getting a gift. I wasn't even thinking about it until someone else brought it up to us. But they had a point; my grandfather has plenty of money and our grandparents always used to buy as at least one gift. My grandmother passed away last year, and she was the one mainly behind that I think, so that might be why we didn't get anything this year, but it just seems awfully stingy of him. Again, not because we're materialistic and need gifts, but the principle.

He did get us little nutcracker ornaments with our names on them, but as my mother pointed out, we're all adults now and it seemed a little childish, even insulting.

At least he sent a card.

Whatever :idontknow:

I just started creating a website. I'm re-learning/learning CSS and will probably learn some Javascript as well. The one thing that is proving the hardest is figuring out what I want it to look like! And different pages will need different layouts so I can't just decided one design.

But I plan on spending 2-3 months on this so hopefully I will have enough time to figure it out.

And for some strange reason Paint.Net instantly crashes when I run it.

I can't believe this year's almost over. Hope the next year brings something good. This year was just depression and anxiety, loneliness, rejection, insecurity but I still didn't give up on anything. Everytime I went down, I went back right up and tried to fight it. Not sure if I made any progress but that's a start right?

So my brother has this app on his iPhone that plays all these different cat meows and yowls and stuff and he keeps playing them over and my mom's cat keeps meowing back and looking for the "cat." I'm laughing so hard I can't breathe. :lol:

*Hugs*

could it be hormones for you? I know mine just creep up on me, until recent I started tracking them so I won't be shocked when I am crying for no reason or wanting to strangle the nearest person...

Oh, gawd. They're here....

If I could get away with it, I'd burn down this house and leave them to die.
I wish this day would end already or for them to drop dead.

You have fought back against a lot of adversity. If nothing else, 2013 has laid some pretty good groundwork for future years. :)

I've never heard before that Christmas is an American holiday or that Jesus is an American god, but that idea seems to be everywhere this year. It's kind of annoying.

I'm signing up for Plenty of Fish right now. I'm getting no luck out of eHarmony, so might as well try another one.

Elizabeth Warren is the smartest woman. I really admire her so much. I hope she runs for president. She blows the socks off anyone IMO. Just listening to this from 2010.

Signed up for Plenty of Fish and just messaged three different girls. There's loads more but I'll keep it at three for now. I hope I have some more luck here than with eHarmony.

I know a few people who used that one and had some good luck. So good luck, Mikey!
