No, seriously, don't.

JimmieT · July 29th, 2012, 05:05 PM

I try very hard not to. It makes me depressed.

elicross · July 29th, 2012, 05:16 PM

I'm the opposite; grumbling makes me feel better. But I mostly grumble to myself, or at the people inside my TV machine. It still makes me feel better.

arghhhh...

Bazz-fazzin' flagbaggers.

mindlobster · July 29th, 2012, 08:46 PM

You have to VENT once in a while, it's healthy. If you whine and moan all the time, not so good!

Toto'sDad · July 29th, 2012, 10:06 PM

I like to cuss the cat. (I don't have a cat)

stnmtthw · July 29th, 2012, 11:29 PM

I can vent all I want to my dog, she loves me anyway.

w3stie · July 29th, 2012, 11:54 PM

I'd like an argument please.

brookdalebill · July 29th, 2012, 11:56 PM

I grumble, but the cat don't care.

Dinggg!... I'm sorry.. your 5 mins is up....;)

w3stie · July 30th, 2012, 05:12 AM

That was never five minutes....

HoodieMcFoodie · July 30th, 2012, 05:23 AM

Yes it was.

w3stie · July 30th, 2012, 06:07 AM

I'm sorry is this the five minute argument or the full half hour?

Wattie · July 30th, 2012, 08:22 AM

You guys should write a script.

For me it's like the "keep calm and carry on" thing, or "don't put your coat yet on or you won't feel the benefit". Something from the last generation.

I used to live next door to a guy in his mid-80s. Pig's valves in his heart, lumps the size of golf balls on his head, wife was blind and housebound (she died shortly after I met him). When I went round for a cup of tea it was not how many sugars but "how many aspirin?". After I moved my father kept me up to date on his health. Eventually before he died he had both legs amputated. He had lived through riding his house up and down as it jumped with every bomb dropped.

Whenever I asked him how things were going, with the biggest smile on his face he would always reply: "musn't grumble".

Mrs Wattie's father - late stage Parkinson's, cancer on Irish skin that has seen too much sun, coming to the end. What does he say? Same thing in a west Cork type of way. "Sure there are worse feckers out there than me"

My own father in a wheelchair after a massive stroke 13 years ago, virtually imprisoned in his own body and unable to talk. Now he can grumble with the look in one eye. But he saves it for humour.

Somehow I have to get past the need to grumble when there is virtually nothing to grumble about.

cband7 · July 30th, 2012, 10:42 AM

I grumble, therefore I are.
