OK, this is my first vent. I guess the first thing I need to decide is: what constitutes a vent and what constitutes a spew? Or is this even important? This is the way I look at it: a vent is a mild to moderate complaint and a spew is when something makes me so mad, if I don't let it out voluntarily, it will come out anyway against my will and usually in a totally inappropriate place and perhaps with a bit of salty language!
Back to the vent. I just hate it when the other kids are smarter than me! I'm talking about technology. Just as soon as I think I've learned a few things and think I'm catching up, BAM, some other gadget comes along that makes me feel all old again and behind the times. Just writing this vent makes me feel old. - I can remember manual typewriters for corn sakes! I'm almost ashamed to say, I know what DOS was. My first computer screen was a little old tiny TV screen! I had to walk to school in 5 feet of snow and it was uphill both ways and I pushed my handcart tied to my mule.... OK, that last one was a lie (but my kids believe it).
So, this is my blog for all of you who like to complain about anything and everything, but are polite enough not to want to annoy your spouse or children or your dog, etc. This is the right place! (for venting and spewing!) I may even have contests when I figure out how to manage my blog. I want you....to post on my blog. Send me your tired (complaints) your poor (spelling). Stand up for your right to complain. Make it loud, make it proud. Let's keep it fairly civil, but you can say just about anything you want about career politicians, because they deserve our wrath.

Welcome
Welcome to my blog!
I hope this will become a forum for people to voice their concerns and to tell about things that are bothering them. I'd like to keep this from being too negative, though, so let's all vow to write on here 2 positives for every negative, if that's possible. I gripe a lot, which is why my husband suggested I start this blog. His comment was, "You may not realize it, but you complain a lot, so you should do a blog for everyone to complain on." He was actually very gentle and kind when he said it! He's a good man! He helps me take a look at myself from time to time, which is good, but sometimes very unpleasant!! He inspires me to strive to be a better person. My purpose here (even though it's called vent and spew) is to have fun, share our experiences and thoughts, maybe even to help each other in our journey through life!! So in order to have fun and make people laugh, we can good naturedly complain about stuff, praise that which is good about the world and the people in it and be respectful of others.
