I don't normally get a chance to watch live t.v. so I record different shows that I like to watch everyday including Oprah. Well, today I just got the chance to watch the show where she had a pastor on there talking about a bracelet his church distributes to help people stop complaining. I think it's only been about 45 minutes since I watched the show and I wrote the website in my journal so I can get a bracelet thinking that I will stop complaining! Do you know I just spent the last 10 minutes complaining to a friend about something my husband did? When I got off the phone I felt like such an idiot! Oh well, guess I'll keep trying.

To get your bracelet, go to www.acomplaintfreeworld.org. It's free. It may take up to five weeks to receive it, but hey "who's complaining?"

yes, but now that you are complaining about complaining you've finally come full circle :)

Without complaints, how can society improve? I love to complain if it's for a just cause!

Thanks for this. I just watched the new about illegal immigrants and was complaining I need several of these bracelets. I ordered four. I am hoping that will help. Was that a complaint. Oh well I will keep trying to curb the complaint bug.

A good article, Petula. I'm not complaining. :)

I love everyone's comments... thanks!
Shelley, you made me laugh because you're right and also because the pastor on the show said if you point out someone complaining then you're also complaining! I thought that was so funny!
Barbara, interesting point!

I don't think the bracelets would work for me. Heck, I'd be complaining that they were too tight or I forgot to put it on, or it didn't go with my outfit. LOL Thanks for the article. It was cute. Let me know if they work.

I saw a preview for that show.Since then I have really tried to watch how much I complain. I think I have cut back some. Everytime I think I am going to say something I stop and ask is this complaining? It usually is so I have not been talking much lately!

LOL well we all complain and I have some huge ones right now with Gather Gremlins I have not been able to post all evening due to Merry go round gremlin and sign in Gremlin keeps telling a friend of mine she is not recongized she just signed up yesterday. Got her welcome and even getting invites but cannot login and she emailed Gather about it and so far nothing. She even faxed them and nothing.

Lynn, Jen: Double LOL.

Jennine: Oh my! The computer can really get me to complaining too!
The Coffee Mom M. Apr 11, 2007, 7:39am EDT
I have to ponder, if I can't complain then do I really have anything to say? LOL My family would be jumping for joy. I must learn to call them something else.... :)
