I'd like to remind people that we have a petty vents thread for, well, minor annoyances: http://www.discusscooking.com/forums/f26/petty-vents-81685-475.html
Thanks Cheryl..we do love it here. The SousChef didn't mention, our airport is only for small panes that are so interesting to watch, and they can't fly at night as there's no runway lights. He needs to be home by sundown. I love when he flies over and waves the wings to me. Here's some interesting history of our lovely little historic airport. The sundown picture shows the Channel Islands off the coast, and the river when it had water in it.

Seems to me the two threads are pretty much interchangeable as petty vents. Politics are off the table completely for major vents for example.
GG, I completely understand. I remember when my wife came out of surgery after her subarachnoid hemorrhage. Everything else pales by comparison.I just came back from seeing my MIL barely able to speak or move after a stroke. Complaining about someone asking why you live in a certain place seems in a different league to me.
That's how I understand it too.I think Venting means discussing a major life experience, and Petty Vents is about the minor things that honk us off.
That's how I understand it too.
I think a lot of people just see the title of the thread, "Venting" and put whatever here because they didn't know or remember there was a "Petty Vents" thread.
That's what I figured.Thank you, Souschef and Dawg.
Taxlady, I agree with you. And we have new members who I'm sure don't know we have different threads for different purposes. So I just wanted to mention it.

I have some dear friends who can't spell to save their lives. They post often on major websites, and I just facepalm.
I see so many misspells on FB. I'm not perfect, but I do proofread before posting.
