Oh god, no! I would never want to be that harsh towards him; I wouldn't ever want to hurt him like that! It's not as if he means to annoy me; he's just trying to look out for me...it's not his fault that I'm 31 and chafing at that. And it's not like I really want it to stop, either...I'd be just as devastated.if you give me his address, I'll mail it
...I just sometimes have to vent about it, so I can get rid of that irritation in order so I can see the good in why he does what he does.
ETA: And, sometimes, I get the odd twingey feeling like there's a part of him that still needs me to need him. I couldn't even say what causes that feeling, and I could be completely and utterly off-base. But if that's the case, I'll do what I can now and again to let him have that feeling. It's such a little thing in the grand scheme of things...it's just not worth the chance that I'd be taking that away from him. ...it just means y'all will have to deal with my venting a bit more than if I shut it down, I guess. Sorry.

it actually sounded mostly rational and fair but I get your point...not everything is worth sharing with the folks...and that is sweet of youOh god, no!

no embarrassment in it..only in letting it continue...IMO...after a certain age it just isn't cool to keep being stuck over what we did or didn't get from our folks...but we all backslide

Its probably more of a worst case scenario than the typical my parents dont pay enough attention to me sob story, but i have definitely continued working through it.

Oh, that sucks!
Heh. In my senior year at college I never had heat in my room for some reason. Never could figure that out. I had a radiator (one of those wonderful cast iron--I'm assuming--things), but it was never on. I froze. Luckily, I had DH's townhouse on campus to stay in, but whatever. The one day in February it kicked on. No reason for it whatsoever, just...off one minute, then on the next. OMG, it was wonderful. I cranked that thing so it was putting out so much heat...my room was like a sauna. I opened a window to let it cool off some, but mostly I enjoyed having a wonderfully warm room. ... And then one morning a maintenence guy showed up at my door. Turns out the thermostat for the rest of the building was in my room (it was a very old building, the original building on campus, so >100 years old...and quirky), and in jacking up the heat in my room I had frozen the rest of the building. Including the President's office, the Provost's office, and the Academic Dean's office. D'oh. Heh...good times.

i had a dream i got banned from df, for making fun of etp's nose among other reasons, and there was a fee to get unbanned and my dad was arguing with the admin about it, but it was all in person which is weird

LOL. Heh. If I haven't been banned, you sure don't have anything to worry about.

FYI, if you are in an apartment or something (where someone else takes care of the maintenence), not having heat usually qualifies as an emergency situation that they have to take care of immediately, IIRC. You should probably call and find out, or at least report it.
