Just spent half an hour writing up my first real post, hit submit, and then error shows up.

Oish! Now you have another reason to be grumpy...
You can win the fight, but I'll have to live with the loser.

Any excuse you use for yourself, you must be willing to use for your wife.

Not Always can I understand others, but I can always respect their wishes.

You're human, it's okay.

I find it very compelling that @youknowwho put this thread under the "Just Having Fun" tab.....

Well....the only other possible category to put it under would be "The Torah and Chizuk Approach", but I didn't think the "shtellah" folks would appreciate that at all....

OMG! I just wrote a whole post, and it didn't go through. You guys must have set it up that I can't post here. You are afraid of what I'll have to say, who knows what damaging encouragement I'll share C"V
Will retry soon....because there's NEVER a reason to despair!!!!

Consider this your first warning. You have violated the rules of this thread. One more strike and be ready to suffer the consequences.

Now, let me address your poor excuse of a post: There is EVERY reason to despair.

I actually like this question and want to address it on a more serious note.

I think I was afraid that the impression would be that we are encouraging reinforcing negative, grouchy dialogues instead of promoting healthy thinking. So the message is, yes, it's sometimes beneficial and perhaps fun to gripe, but ultimately (and sadly) the cheesy, horrible things called care, empathy, chizuk, positivity and motivation are what actually work best to help oneself move ahead in life. 

Allright, having said that, now you can all shoot me...

I'm a traitor, I know. An evil impostor, running amok deep within the dingy, grey corridors of The Grouchery.

Wow! EERIE!!! So glad to see your post, smileys and all! I was actually contemplating raffling off a nice box of lingerie to the guy that gets you to post a grouchy piece over here.

Actually, you succeeded. My post (which went lost-argh:)) went something like this:
OOOOOOOOOOOO
MMMMMMMMMMM
GGGGGGGGGGGG
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OOOOOOOOO
MMMMMMMMM
GGGGGGGGGG
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What the (beep) is going on here???!!!!
I wasn't on GYE for a while, due to some grouchfying stuff, and here I come back to find THIS???!!!!
Truth to be told, after reading YKW's first post I thought I can't post here, because anything remotely similar to Eerie would be totally against any of the rules. But then I read through it and laughed so hard at mankind's attempt to make life sound sad. So I'm here to tell you:It's been swell. and NOW: GET THE (BEEP) OFF THIS THREAD AND SMILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On a serious note, it's actually a  great thread, in the right place. Yes, we human beings need to kvetch (thing is, nobody cares to hear me kvetch, except that that was a kvetch..). And kvetch we may. And as long as we remember that at the end of the kvetch about Friday, Wed or anyday or thing or person or pronoun, we gotta look for the guy that will somehow, someway, make us smile.
I nominate Redfaced to be that guy.

Grumping is sometimes very healthy. It allows us to relieve tension and then recover and see things straight. This is as long as we aren't throwing rocks at anyone. Please don't stone me for this one. I am trying to keep the thread alive and healthy.
