Sometimes, I just rant to rant. It lets me get some steam out, because nobody wants to hear people complain in person. Just because I say a conservative was an asshole to me, it doesn’t mean I hate all conservatives. Same goes for smokers, freaks, and hoes.

This blog is my outlet and own personal form of therapy. It works for me, and when I’m ranting about one person or another I never use names…because I’m not a bitch. (and also, because I don’t have the kind of mug that can take a hit and make it look cool. That’s my money maker, I can’t be pissing people off and showing up at work looking like Rhianna, you know what I’m saying?) 

 If you’re lucky enough to know about my writing,  just appreciate that. If you piss me off, then you should fully expect to be anonymously trashed on the internet. That is the advantage of blogging. If you don’t like it, write a blog about how much of a dick this girl you know is….and then let it go.

Dear Nataley,

My semi-serious boyfriend and I have been together for about 3 years. I love him a lot and could see us having a future together if it weren’t for the fact that his mother is the ultimate mega-beast bitch. She’s so nasty that I have seriously considered ending the relationship for good with my boyfriend because of the way she treats me. I don’t want to, but I don’t know how much more I can take from her. Any thoughts?

Dear Lost,

Believe it or not, hating your in-laws is common. I know my husband wasn’t very fond of my mother at first, it was so bad that I had to confront her about her behavior and ignore her phone calls for three months before she got the hint. When she realized that I was serious she eased up on the hubby and we were home free from then on in the in-law department. I don’t know how your boyfriend feels about it, does he know you’re at your wits end with mommy dearest? If not, you need to put your feelings out on front street. If she’s still an asshole after boyfriend talks to her and all else fails, spray-paint some profanities in her yard, it’ll be at least a month or two before she can mow it out and you’ll get a chuckle out of it every time you see the dirty beast.

Happy painting!

I’ve tossed the idea of an advice section in the old bartender blog around for a while now. I’m frequently called upon for advice or my opinion in several topics ranging anywhere from drink preferences to sensitive personal matters on a daily basis at work and I thought if people could ask anonymously, how much more intriguing it could be!

I’ve put some feelers out to my friends and some other people on the idea of an advice section and have only gotten positive responses so far, so here is my official public announcement… I’ve put an advice category in my blog. I’m not anywhere near qualified in the therapy department, but I love hearing other people’s questions and problems and I love LOVE telling people what to do. (my sister is nodding furiously in agreement at that statement.)

If you have a topic for discussion or any random question in general, you may leave it in a comment here, or you can email it privately to me with ask Nataley as the topic so it doesn’t get discarded and I will do my best to answer. I can’t wait to hear all the crazy stuff you guys can come up with!!
