Thanx DB, yesterday I got drunk and cried, then got up at 3:00 am this morning, tore down Belly Button's pen with a sledgehammer and threw it in the firepit. Really more concerned about my son in that he can not remember not having Belly. :'(

Yeah, my wife and I are having an extensive remodel done on our home and we keep finding nice expensive suprises like cracked slab that needs to be replaced, and today I came home to some more expensive plumbing issues that need to be addressed.

Living in Philly for the past year, my first complaints were about all the murders and fires....but lately, it's been al these rich Main Line fuckers having to tell me all about "going to the shore." The shore being the nasty disgusting New Jersey beaches (i'm from southern California, remember).

"I didn't know the coupon expired last week, I was at the shore."
Fuck off!

I keep having this periodic reoccuring nightmare about napping on a plane and waking up in time for it to crash. Usually something happens to the pilots, so people are trying to bust the cockpit door open to try and pull up the plane, or crash land it or something... but of course the door is impossibly secured. The causes always very, but never terrorism. It's always random shit that could happen anyday.
Anyway... I'm really tired of starting my days out like this... I'd rather just stay up and watch Spaceballs.

My graduation date has been moved from May 2007 to December 2007.

At least it's only one extra semester, eh? It is only one more, right? Will the new lit classes be interesting or snoozers? Good luck.

Quotewhat does twitter-paited mean??
Main Entry: twitterpated
Part of Speech: adjective
Definition: confused by affection or infatuation
basically, kind of like this "when spring rolls around, i always get all twitterpated." kind of like where you just wanna get really lovey-dovey, but you don't have anybody. it's like crushing for a crushing. wanting someone to want you. needing someone to need me. loving someone to love me. hell i'd beg someone to beg me...
but alas, when you want to give love and be loved in return, and there is no such lady around for to be directing such amorosity towards, such a time is whence one becomes twitterpated.

hmmmm
Quotetry college, hun.

I think since I'm about five years younger than you, yes.
And fuck college! I only say that 'cos I'm very very stressed out about it, so I will use this context to VENT. First of all, I'd like to say that before I start this rant that I really don't think so highly of myself. This'll probably put a lot of emphasis on my attitude and my personality and how pretentious I seem. But really, I apologize for thsi in advance.
So this is my complaint: I'm stuck, basically, in highschool and I don't know what I want to do for college or afterwards. I've known this for awhile, and it's basically because I'm good at a lot of things. (This is the part where you start to see my big head. But it's not that big. Not preferably admittidly, anyway..what?) I like art, i like to draw paint whatever, i like photography, i like writing i ilke making music and I like doing math... and I'm actually sorta good at everything I just listed... And it sucks. Which is a selfihs thing to say. But it actually does. My brother is a senior this year and he has hiis heart set on being a journalist or a cultural anthropologist - or both combined (if he gets into the NYU "pick your own major" school thingy)... It's much easier for him because he's not as good at things, I'm certainly not complainging that I'm good at stuff and it all comes naturally. I'm really not. I just think it would be easier. But I like all the shit I do.
And I started to think in the 8th grade that I'd begin to focus on more individual things as I got more into hgihschool and that would narrow it down for me a little. I'd begin to see what I really liked and it would only get easier. But at this point, I still don't have any idea what I want and I guess maybe I shouldn't yet. If I were to go on to be a musician, I'd feel like I was just wasting the other talents I have. PLus, what're the chances that I'd grow up to be a musician? So drop it, right? NO! because I love it! I love maknig music! But if I were to study erm... anything in the writing field then I'd waste my musical talents! and it's liket hat for everything. Life is hard. And I'm getting stressed already. I'm fifteen years old and I'm already a nervous wreck. It's not good. I love the maths, too, they all make sense to me. And I love doing them, but I don't want to focus on fucking maths my whole life. I dont' want to teach because I woulnd't get to explore everything. I don't even have any idea what I'm even saying right now. It all seems to just be a big blur. I don't know what makes sense adn I don't know if I should be as confused as I am. But I am, nevertheless and I'm worried. Worried! I don't know what to do. It's stressful, already.
Also, right now all the shit I do seems pointless. Just like how I row. I hate rowing,. but i do it 'cos it "looks good" fu ck that! i'm no athlete! I don't want to be a fucking professional ROWER when I grow up! Why do colelges need to see that shit? i'm good in school and I like doing what I ilke. But that's not enoguh. This whole system is retarded. IT should change. But it wont.
I don't know what I want, and I don't know what to do. I just don't really understand anythign right now. And maybe it'll all come in time.
And I knew it was going to be like this. And it's only going to get worse. Just basically, when did all you know what this is? Am I just getting too caught up in myself for my own good? Thank you and sorry, again...

Ah, seems ike you've stumbled onto this point in ife a little earlier than a lot of people normally do. here's the thing, though. to pick one thing, you don't necessarily waste the other.
I want to be a high school English teacher when i get out of college. I guess that's a pretty specific thing and I ought to have an outlet into a job relatively right out of the gate. Doesn't sound so bad, eh? But what'll I be doing with my music? Don't I still have dreams of making an impact on people, or at least creating something no one's ever really said before? sure I do, which is why I'm immersed in it most of the time. It's just not part of my profession.
I guess that's a big realization you need to make, but you've got to decide what you would be happiest doing for money, and then learn how to apply yourself to all the other things outside of your job. Your job is not and ought to never be your life, though it is a very important aspect of it. If you can teach math, and you love music, bring music into it. Ridiculous math-rock, time signatures and whatnot. Make it fun and understandable. Or if you teach music, do the opposite, bring math into it to help out understanding of why certain things work certain ways.
Or don't teach. Combine everything you love. It seems like you've gto a good brain for comprehension, so start understanding how all of those things fit together. Music, math and art are all so closely knot that you can have a hey-dey delving deeper into philosphies and understandings that are far beneath the surface. The kinds of things that tie it all together in ways that we have a very hard time wrapping our heads around.
You've got something set out for you. You won't have it figured at age 15, certainly, but at least you know what you love. Hell, you won't have it figured out at 18 either (where I'm at) but you'll at least start to understand the direction. Thing about life is, it's all about constant growth. You'll never know everything, and you'll never entirely know where you're going, but if you're working to show people things, or to help them out with what you do best (that's technically what work out to be about), then you're getting towards the right track.
I don't know if you're Christian or not, but there's this passage in Phillipians 4 that goes like this:
do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
and it may sound absurd, but the only true peace I've ever gotten when I've been worried or frustrated as strongly as it sounds like you are has come from God. our minds, as big and wonderful as they can be, are still completely insufficient at most times, and espeically in matters like these. because we can't know the future, we have to have peace with the decisions we make, and we have to let the worry about the future go. because, simply enough, we won't figure it out. we only know life as we are living it, and we can only hope for the future.
i hope that helped to some extent.
face, i know it all seems really difficult at the moment, but it WILL all work itself out. don't beat yourself up because you haven't got your life figured out at 15.... geez, i certainly didn't, and i'd say most people don't.
i didn't know what i wanted to do with my life until fairly recently (i'm 28)... all through school i either wanted to be an artist as i've always loved drawing. i've also always loved music, so i thought for a long time that i would be a professional musician (i studied violin for 12 years, piano for 10)... i also had brief thoughts about botany, and academic studies (languages or enlish). so i really had no clear idea, i just did the subjects at school that i enjoyed (languages, english, art) and did some others that i wasn't so good at, but might come in handy (science, which i kind of liked, and maths which i'm really REALLY bad at). in grade 10 here we have to do a week's work experience out in the wider world, so we have to choose something. i chose art restoration, but the local museum didn't have any places, so i ended up in an architect's office for a week. which was cool, and interesting. not something i would have chosen, or even thought about as a career option.
high school is stressful for everyone. especially if you have no clear idea of where you want to go or what you want to be. i sort of fell into doing architecture at uni (an arts degree was my other choice, but i got a response back first from the architecture department). it was a 5 year course, which i got through, really enjoyed, made some great friends along the way. i've been working now for nearly 5 years, and its still only fairly recently that i've firmly decided that this really is what makes me happy, and is what i am.
i hope this wasn't all too boring, but i just wanted to say that some people know from basically the day they were born what they want to do. and that's fine. but for the rest of us, its difficult, and you just kind of have to see how it works out. just sit down & think about the things that you do (in school & in your life generally) that make you happy, and think about what you can use them for. make it work for you, don't try & change yourself to fit into something. when it all comes down to it, i think that what you do for a job should be something make you happy & satisfied in your life.
do you have a careers councellor at your school? someone that you can talk to & maybe get some advice from?
QuoteFirst of all, I'd like to say that before I start this rant that I really don't think so highly of myself. This'll probably put a lot of emphasis on my attitude and my personality and how pretentious I seem. But really, I apologize for thsi in advance.
feel free to rant all you like, ranting is healthy! and i don't know you, but from your posts here you sound like a pretty cool person, with an excellent taste in music (always important!!), you're smart, but you just need to give yourself some time. it'll work out
:)
QuoteMy granddad is dying from complications related to Agent Orange exposure.
Very sorry to hear that MegisnOtreal.
THank you Tom and Ali... I do understand that it'll basically "work itself out" but I just saw my brother go through Junior year whcih was INCREDBILY stresseful for him. And I don't handle stress very well at all... Seeing him go through chemistry as well as looking for colleges, early application, as well as rowing and community service I just decided that I didn't want to have any of that... enough that I even thought about doublnig classes this year so I wouldn't have a lot to think about aside from all that...
I went to a "college coach" which got me less stressed out for awhile. HE told me that I could just continue on doign what I was doing now, getting the grades I'm getting and relaxing a little I'd figure it out... But after I told him I had barely any time to breathe between all my extra cirriculars and stuff, he told me that's what they like. pfffft.
I assume I'll see him again soon.... he also said that if I got into this New England Conservatory Ensable thing I wouldnt' have to row (which I don't want to do) but,... the ensamble practices on Fridays from 7 -- 10 and hearing that I jsut gave up. but I still made it as an extra. this would've minimized my daily schedule a lot, but I fucked that up.
Which was a stupid idea. and now I just have to plan things accordingly. Althoguh that was social sucidie.
How did i get onto this tangent?
Basically, now it's just moving so fast.
Well I'll quit this now. I'll trust both of you since you've got years, knowledge and overall experience on me.
thanks again

I hate seeing him reduced to such a poor state. I am overwhelmed with sadness at the thought of losing him, and I'm filled with frustration and anger.
He wouldn't be dying if it weren't for the government's lying. He's too young to die. He's only 64. It isn't fair.

TICKETMASTER. I absolutley hate these people. Their fees have always been ridiculous but as I attend more concerts each year I grow more angry every time. Lets take for instance my last purchase of tickets which was MMJ at the Ryman. The ticket face value was $27.00, thats more than alright with me but then lets hit the Tickemaster fees. I bought two tickets that each has a "convenience charge" of $8.35. Add tax at $1.56 and "order processing" of $3.40. That brings my fees to $21.66, for two tickets? What is a "convenience charge" anyways? It's certainly not convenient for me to pay it, rather it is very convenient that Ticketmaster can get away with this and they know it. I cannot think of a bigger example of a "total monopoly" in our society than Ticketmaster.
I wish there was some way bands could have control over this. I think it would be alot better for the fans. Last year I bought one ticket to a concert and the conveneince fee was $16.50. I understand that the artists have nothing much to do with ticketing but when i get charged $16.50 as one fee it makes me feel like the artist does not care, even though I know they probably do.
Thats my rave for the day.

I couldn't have said it better myself brother.
college. and the fact that i've never learned how to be disciplined about doing work. so here we are at 2am and I'm just starting to write the two papers that are due tomorrow.
hello, three hours of sleep. if that.
I'm miserable. Things haven't been going my way. I'm failing the only two classes in school that I actually need to graduate. I don't have anyone to talk to. I forgot to buy a microwave dinner at the grocery, because I was too fixated on getting a Pumpkin Spice Latte, and now I'm paying the consequence. Cigars make me spit, which knocks down the cool factor. Someone wants to introduce me to a girl who would be "good for me" but I can't figure out why anyone who knows me would feel I would be good for their friend. I don't have time to read good books. I can't express myself on canvas. In art class, the teacher keeps trying to draw meaning out of my work, and she completely fails, and it embarasses me.

but you've got us! :)
(a) school is not going well
(b) work is not gonig well
(c) i'm a mess and a half.
I lost all my chemistry stuff. I'm a fucking mess. I said to myself at the end of last year that I wouldn't fall into the sophomore slump. Then I scoffed. But theres no scoffing now - I"ve missed like 4 days of school between field trips and not feeling well and i'm just a total total total mess. three totals to emphasize what sort of situation I'm in. And within those days I've missed, I've not done work for any of them.
I haven't done any homework in about a week because "I just don't feel like it". I've been drawing pictures instead, all of which I don't like and end up throwing away anyway. I spend my class time drawing, too, and thinking of everything else I could be doing.
SOphomore year is such a joke - it's a continuation of freshmen year without the title. At the same time, I don't want this year to end. Junior year is not gonna be much easier and with me being like THIS already, I can't even imagine. It's fucking HIGH SCHOOL...
I have so much shit that needs to get done - between my nwe volunteer job, my social justice club (pfft. don't get me started about this....), my jazz band, school work, music studies,. catching up and friends. I've never felt so overwhelmed. It just all needs to happen and it's not going well at all. i also feel completely broke. i don't know where all my money went. i have a feeling my brothers taking it little by little...
I can't stop thinking about the future and where I'll end up. I don't want to end up unhappy doing shit I don't want to. Life is so dumb - nobody likes it - we do all thsi stupid shit and then we die. I'm really bitter, yes, and I'lll probably regret saying most of this... but the economy,.the government, is so fucked up. What is MONEY? Why? Nobody udnerstands this concept, yet nobody does anything to fix it. I undrestand the whole idea, but over time why has thsi worekd so well? THeres debt. There's poverty. I certainly don't want a communist government, that's more fucked up, but this just doens't seem to be working for me.
The worst part is nobody knows how much I'm fucking up. I mean, friends know, but my mom was explaining to me what great things I did. I don't do shit! I'm a bright kid, I'll give me that, but I'm not trying! Why am I so miserable?! HA! Some woman just walked by me and said "you're so diligent!"... uh... I'm on a My Morning Jacket Forum. Sort of diligent.
I haven't practiced music in a very long time and have no desire to. I only like playing at school, but recently that hasn't even been fun. People lack passion. I lack skills. I can't do anything anymore and I'm already four minutes late for a lesson I Don't want to go to. It'll take me about ten minutes car ride to get there.
IT's funny - I know all this but do very little to change it.
PLUS MY OCD HAS KICKED IN FULL FORCE. I've been counting my steps, and a couple days ago,when I was eating cereal, I sorted them into colors and it took me about twenty five minutes to eat. Also, I was reading teh back of the box and I tried to read every word only once and if I messed up I'd say "Cancel, cancel" and start over. But it didn't seem weird at the time. It was perfectly normal. And on the way home on the T i counted how many seconds we were stopped for and howm any seconds it took me to get to home. One more - I banged my left foot on the desk, so I banged my right foot in the same spot. Symmytry. I don't get why when this happens I can't nmanage to get good grades or take efficient notes. Is it SUFFICIENT or EFFICIENT? Whatever.
Please notice the lack of typos in this bulletin, mostly do to the above paragraph.
And I had a math test today and I think I failed. I'm such a mess. When can I legally drop out of school???
Somebody, comfort me. I'm sorry, all. Disregard everyhting. Sometimes it feels good to be a realist. Sometimes it feels good to just complain about everything all at once.
Thanks -
Jenny
Ah, if you want to know, college is actually much better than high school...
So stick with it. It sounds like the OCD probably needs to be checked out (and I'm sure you've got something going with that alread) but that can't be helping your situation at all, and it's definitely not your fault, either. That said, we all get that frustration with where we're at. It's what drives passion. Passion to make change, or to understand who you are, or to better the world you're in. I know it sucks, but understand what growing up is, as well. It's realizing who you are, and learning how to be that person.
High school is ridiculously difficult because you're surrounded by hundreds of people all going through identity crises at the same time. Some people will be idiots and define themselves by who they associate with, some people will define themselves as clique leaders who people want to associate with. And there's all kinds of different little circuses that those fit into. But then there's also the "outcasts," labelled as such because they don't want to fit into a heirarchy. The people who understand things a lot deeper than a social chain. The people who understand people and understand that life has a point and it's not how many friends you can make, but what difference you can make in your friends' lives (I hope that's not a cliche I've never heard before). But to be in that situation can be one of the loneliest places to be. You'll find many people (especially at your age of "coolness") will want to ignore the truth of it all and get caught up in the politics of social heirarchies and be content to let someone else's unchecked ego define theirs. God bless you for not getting caught up in that, from how it sounds.
But stick with it, Jenny. Don't give up on school. I know it's frickin hard. I don't know how in the world the government thinks beginning school at 8 o'clock is a good idea. Our parents don't start work til 9 and even then, nothing happens before 10. Most peoples' brains don't work that early, and beginning your day as such is just extremely tiring. Especially if you're a night owl. College will help redeem that, as you can take late morning (like eleven o'clock) and afternoon classes basically the whole way through, if you schedule it right.
But get some sleep. Take care of yourself. And do your best to stick it out. And look forward to the alternative school thing you were talking about earlier. That sounds like it's much more of what you need out of your education.
And don't just complain about not practicing with music. Sit down and do it. And if others are lacking passion, let that inspire you. Let that give you a drive to make something beautiful with it, because if they won't someone needs to. And if you recognize that, then why shouldn't it be you? You may be out of practice or not very good in your own eyes, but it's all a process of learning, and the more time you devote to it now, the quicker it'll pay off for you.
I'll do my best to pray for you through this, and definitely keep us updated as to what's going on. You've got people of all different ages here you can talk to, and that really is a valuable thing for osmeone who sounds like they're thinking at a level far beyond what is normally expected of 16-year-olds.

Jenny, if it helps any, I think we have all felt that way at some point early in our life, when the whole world starts opening up in front of us. It can be overwhelming. I sometimes have those symtoms of OCD and I think it has to do with having too much shit in my head at the same time. Counting cheerios makes it go away if only for a few moments. I used to make lists of things on my mind, and somehow, having it written down helped me to let it go for awhile. I will be thinking about you.

that's just it.
i know we're humans. and i know theres so many counterargumetns to what i'm about to plunge into but if we all feel this way and we allget down and we all experiecne stupid shit like this, then why the fuck is lifel ike this? people make the world. we make life. without us, life wouldn't exist. but still it acts against us in so many different ways.
i just don't get it.
and i've been smoking way way way way way too much.
but i found my chem stuff.
but still haven't done any work.

we didn't make life. scientists still can't tell you how to do that. we live life and sustain and procreate, yes, but the origin of life is not ours to claim.
I didn't think Jenny meant that literally... I thought of it as her way of saying that life as we know it is a contained hustle and bustle that's been designed and refined and "perfected" in so many ways... and yet it still crashes down on us.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I know I'm OCD-ish, doing weird stuff like rearranging the silverware and making sure all of the mechanical pencils have an equal amount of lead, because I'm reaching for some form of order in my life to counteract the complete disarray that comes with everything else.

I will sit at my desk and move something just a little bit till it suits my satisfaction. Alec Baldwin has the same disorder (admitted on Conan). Like he said, nothing really wrong with it unless it interferes with your life. I also like to tease my wife and son in a restaurant by minutely moving salt and pepper etc., then they tease me by moving it a little. I have control over it, just do it when I feel the need. ;)
i'm getting sick, I can feel it. and now is NOT the time for me to be sick. :(
i fink i have mono.
Quotei fink i have mono.
Yuk. I hope not! I had mono once when I was in high school, and I missed almost a month of school.
I hope you get to feeling better.
full. belly.
it's canadian thanksgiving, and i ate more than my share. way more than my share. and i want to die.
attempting to sleep, only to dream. i wrote this poem about it when it came around last year, and finished it once i finally stopped dreaming so vividly and was able to get a good night's sleep. but the part about not being able to get rest is the first stanza. i made light of it with the second one, but i don't think it fully captured the frustration that it truly causes. here it is anyways. life inspires art.
so midnight's tolling long forgot
with bedded intent i seek
that of which I dream,
but in dreaming find not...
but o, to dream
these eyelids fall
and out from velvet tresses
find no trace of old distresses
but hope
as each golden saplet finds
its way past upturned window blinds,
and, rubbing day from darkened eyes,
I, betwixt two states (and most surprised)
find my sheets lie where i left them...

Caption from my recent blogpost...
Tonight I put on some extra layers, trying to maximize my body heat and whatnot... I was all pumped up, made my way out to the backyard with my iPod, and did a pretty extreme workout on a twisted ankle... Like, yeah, I'm tough as fuck, me agitating my sprained ankle... Yeah, the badass in the sweaters!
Anyway, by the end of all that retarded machoness, I was tired as fuck, sort of lightheaded, even. Being light and airy with a twisted ankle is bad enough - but the fucking son-of-bitch asshole patio light in the backyard cut out, as it's on a timer (and for all of my mad skills I'm too fucking stupid to figure out how to make it stay on), leaving me completely blind.
So... just keeping score here - I'm tired, lightheaded, I've got a fucked up ankle, and now I'm blind.
I'm a cripple at this point... and OF COURSE I end up managing to trip over the fucking yard sprinkler on my way inside. I dunno how it happened, but I guess the sudden gravitational shift of tripping and falling on an unseen and unsuspected object caused me to puke mid-flight in this beautifully disgusting arc of spaghetti. I landed fine, but I totally pulled off a fully airborne vomit. I thought you could only do that shit in space?
Now, it may not sound totally funny just yet... but here's the punchline... just as I was tripping, the iPod shuffled to the Beatles' 'GOOD MORNING! GOOD MORNING!'
So... go ahead and play that song, with its stupid happy tone and annoying chickens crowing, cats meowing, dogs barking, birds chirping, horses neighing, and try and visualize me tripping over the fucking sprinkler in the dark, and throwing up the only meal I've had all god damn day.
Excuse the vulgarities, please,
Brad
nice poem tom
hope you've recovered brad.... but what were you thinking with all the retarded machoness on a twisted ankle?? hmmm.... not such a good idea :-/
Well, the rest of the blog kinda explains that... long story short, I've been having a pretty rough time and so this has all been an effort to carry out some frustration and angst. It's helping alot.
The ankle will be fine, and I plan to stay away from the sprinkler.
:)
sounds like a good move.
hope the frustration and angst ends soon too
:)
i guess my only complaint at the moment is my scary lack of social life and apparently perpetual singledom
:(
Goddamn it, I fucking hate Wal-Mart!
I'm not going to subject you to a socio-political rant, but...
I was in that bitch last night, and some snot-nosed kid had spilled Jello (how random!) on the floor, and I slipped in it and busted my ass.
I mean, twisted my ankle and fell out in the middle of the aisle.
Someone is supposed to contact me in a few days about a "settlement" and all, but goddamn! My ankle is bruised and swollen, and...
I hate Wal-Mart even more now.
(excuse the vulgarities, please :-[ )

Too bad you live on the opposite end of the world. I would hook you two up.

Student loans, feeling like crap for 3 years...and perpetual singleness
Take the perpetual singleness as an obvious blessing, guys and gals... At least your not "sort of" in a relationship, where you know you aren't wanted or needed by your "partner", and where your desire to even see the person has done nothing but downward spiral for a course of 2 or 3 months because you're avoiding the conversation and hoping that somehow things may revert back to their better ways when she realizes that you might actually have been worth keeping...
Not that I'm going through that, or anything.
Yeah, perpetual singleness sucks.
yes but the opposite does not if it isn't mutual... ohhh highschool relationship problems! what fun!
headaches are the worst.
and i have pen all over my hand.
trivial,.

Oh yeah, that sucks. Worse than singledom I'd say. I hope anyone going through that gets out of it soon. I've been through that when you try to be as 'good' as you can in the hope they'll stay, only to find he's been cheating. Got rid of him though and now life is
much better ;D

it's so sweet though, because there's a few live recordings I have (namely Andrew Bird's Bonnaroo set) where they have a break in there where it kind of screws up the flow and feel. and now there's absolutely no transition. it's beautiful.

i do hate listening to The Wall on my ipod. Very annoying.
Thankfully, I've got the newest iPod, 5.5th Generation, and it has gapless playback and whatnot. Dark Side of the Moon cannot be listened to without it.
So this not-so-new-anymore school thing that I got into is really great. It's much better for me, definately, and it's pushing me very hard. Right now though, I'm incredibly stressed out... this semester I'm taking an english course called Individuals and Institutions... we have mixed classes adn theresonly 4 of my kind in there... and like 2 juniors and all the rest are seniors! Each time we fniish a paper we have a paper reading and just hearing all theirs is intimidating by itself... so when I read mine it doesn't seem nearly as good! Maybe just beacsue I'm only comfortable enough with it because I've worked with it so much...
So while it is pushing me, it's also increidbly discouraging. I know that in the long run it will pay off, however, right now it's just blahhhh. I have no words.
I guess I don't know if I'd even consider this a complaint, but it seems like it sort of fits the criteria.
ANYWAY, I just fishined the paper and tomorrow I shall be reading it. GAH! I can't wait till senior year -- all this will've paid off and I'll be the inimidating senior that I'm stressing about now. heh.

Have you noticed that you can't add album artwork all at one time though? On 7, I have to individually put every piece of artwork on every song.
I mean, I have plenty of time because I've got nothing else to do, but it still sucks. :P

Most of the artwork automatically shows up. For those that don't, try selecting every song on an album, then go to Get Info, and you can put the artwork on for each album instead of every individual song. I don't know if this is different on PCs.
Regarding the album art issue on iTunes 7... I have not had this problem, and I'm constantly adding artwork to bootlegged albums and what.
Try this...
CTRL+A (Select All)
Right click the selection
Click Get Info
A box will ask if you're sure - click yes.
In the info section, on the right, there is a box for album art... double click that, and browse for the art you want to add.
Click okay... and iTunes will take a moment to add the artwork to all of the songs.
This should work perfectly fine, unless your system is somehow different from mine.

I MISSED THE ALL IMPORTANT 1000TH POST MOMENT
bugger >:(
It's raining here.
Hard.
And I've got a presentation to do in about an hour. Damn you, Mother Nature!
Insomnia.
WTF?
i'm not sitting outside, enjoying the sunshine.... damn work
All-nighters, the second time in one week, are not as enjoyable as the first.
Especially when there still is a good deal of work I need to get done in an hour and a half.
QuoteInsomnia.
WTF?
Doesn't that suck? I had it real bad my freshman year. Like, I literally couldn't get to sleep until sunrise every morning. Then I'd sorta sleep for about an hour and have to get up and go to class.
Weed helped, and so did ambien. I still get bouts with it every now and then. But, yeah, it's annoying.

I got the day off with no weed.
I had to be at work at 5am today. I got off work, and got back home. Had some time to chill before my classes start. I decided to get the showtimes for "Marie Antoinette," as I had made plans to see it this evening. Well, what do I find out? Neither one of this town's movie theatres are showing it. Do you know how I excited I was about this movie? Do you know how much happiness seeing Jason Schwartzman in 18th Century French attire would have brought to my life?
God, I HATE living here. They never show any movies that I want to see.
Uggggh. Expletive! Curse Words! Expletives! Expletives! Whine!
You think THAT'S bad.

:-[ my OCD has gotten worse. I count minutes, now and I can't go three minutes without looking at the clock. I count how many times I swallow. How many words i use. I try to make it equal. I count in TWOS. when i go to bed, I wait for the clock to turn, count fifty nine seconds with my eyes closed, then open. REPEAT. I'm a nutjob. I knock my left hand? I have to knock my right hand. I like symmytry.
I've been trying to get over it. I'm not on any medications or anything. But I've been intentionally making things unequal and trying to deal wtih them. I've been trying to make things not worse. But goddamn, it's a pain in the fucking ass. >:(
UGH.
dear face,
I had a thought about your OCD problem. Maybe you could try to use your ocd for an art project since you like to draw, etc. Obsessiveness can come in really handy for making work (coming from someone who struggles on the other end of the spectrum in terms of focus). You could assign yourself a particularly obsessive project like cutting a particular word out of an old book (as many of that word that you can find) and then do a drawing with the many cut-out words as marks rather than pencil, pen, etc. Just thinking that maybe if that energy is directed in a certain way it could be really powerful. If you don't know the work of conceptual artist, Tom Friedman, who has made amazing work that's often super obsessive, check him out. I don't know how to post a link, but there's lots of stuff online about him.

i also had the even / symmetry ocd thing. i used to do stuff like if I snapped my finngers on my left hand, then i'd have to snap my right hand twice and my left hand again once. I also used to count cracks and lines on the sidewalk that I stepped over and on with my right and left feet and try to keep it even. I eventually have gotten a lot better with it and have worked through of the part of my OCD that was really driving me crazy. I'm still ocd about organization and collecting stuff but that productive so I go with it. fight it, girl. the mind is a powerful thing but your will is stronger!
I used to post three exact responses in a row, but I have gotten better.

aMD, do you feel like you've "gotta catch 'em all" when it comes to MMJ material?
QuoteaMD, do you feel like you've "gotta catch 'em all" when it comes to MMJ material?
yeah, definitely. I NEED all of their studio/released stuff. i'm not too bad about collecting all the concerts unless it has something "special" about it like a cover or a rarely played song. It's still killing me that i don't have the how can i know from okonokos, i may just have to break down and drop 17 dollars on that one track.
i'm the exact same way about bob dylan, btw. but that one's a little more difficult since he has 45 studio releases and many many famous bootlegs. I think my bob dylan file is about 32 gigs containing around 250 albums/bootlegs.

My teachers can't read my hand writing so they're making me change it, which is ridiculous. It wasn't even that it was illegable, it's just that I write in all CAPS and they can't read it. Stupids.
So my litlte hand writing is unbearable. It's like I'm seven or eight.
I have a handwriting problem as well. My third graders make fun of me. I told them at the beginning of the year that their goal is to have better handwriting than me by the end of the year. some of them are already there.
i write in all caps too, and it's the best way to go.

Spamming the entire forum with that shit is not cool, man.
i am stuck in a place that has NEVER HEARD of the jacket. i looked in the cd shop today (i'm back with the oldies in godforsaken tasmania, and there is only ONE in town) and there was NOTHING. lots of madonna, lots of john mellencamp, even men at work. severely P'D off.
so i have absolutely NO CHANCE of getting even close to a) any of my mmj cds b) or a shop that's even heard of mmj to buy the DVD for a whole WEEK
on the plus side of things, i bought a fandangulous new phone that can connect to the net, make coffee & give massages, and in the music downloads i found knot comes loose....golden.... bermuda highway.... gideon..... ah. there is a god!!

A drunk driver hit my car, my brother's car and a neighbor's van tonight while they were all parked on my street. My brother's car ended up on top of my car's trunk. The driver fled the scene and hit another car several blocks away. I think my brother's car is totaled the other driver's car is totaled and the drunk driver's car is totaled. I'm not sure about my car. I'm stressing out about insurance and I can't get back to sleep. I'm hoping my car isn't totaled too. I want to vent to someone, but it's 3:30 in the morning where I live so I can't call anyone. :'(
If they catch the dude and he has insurance, then your rates will not go up. And Elizanne you are from the land of lawsuits, so you always have that option.
By the way, I'm really sorry to hear about your terrible luck. At least you and your brother are physically ok. Best wishes regardless from north of the border.
Thanks for the well wishes Jaimoe. We are very lucky that we were not in our cars at the time. As far as I know the drunk driver and other driver involved were not seriously injured. They did catch the drunk driver. She fought with the police and they had to restrain her with a straight jacket. She went to jail tonight, and I'm sure she's going to be feeling some pain tomorrow when she realizes all the damage she caused, and the fact that she totaled her brand new car. Thats gotta hurt. I'm sure she has insurance, and I have full coverage, so things should work out fine.
So sorry to hear that Elizanne, i really hope everything works out OK...
Ouch. Hope the insurance thing works out fast Elizanne.
The real problem is DRUNK DRIVERS SUCK! How come they never die horribly when they take someone else out?

Trouble sleeping. For the LONGEST time, now, I've had the absolute hardest time trying to fall asleep. Last night, for example, I settled in at midnight, because I knew I'd have to go in for an interview and be sharp... I laid in bed all fucking night, from midnight till I gave up at 7 a.m., wanting to fall asleep, but not being able to. No matter which way I tossed or turned, I couldn't fall asleep.
The most fucking frustrating feeling in the world. I'm so god damn agitated. 7 hours tossing and turning in bed and not a fucking ounce of rest.

I've got some heavy anxiety about the job. It'd help if I had the slightest clue as to what they want from me.

The Steelers and they're turnovers. It's ridiculous. They'd be a decent team if they could protect the ball. It's not just Ben its the whole team. We didn't have a great draft either, but that might change in a couple years with experience.

Current Complaint:
Voting machines that fuck up
People who are not properly trained to operate said fuck-up voting machines
Working at a media outlet and waiting on the results of said fuck-up voting machines and having no idea when you get to go home b/c you can't "call" an election until all the votes have been counted (unless you work for Fox news)
But more than anything... the voting machines. This is really starting to scare me.
It's no accident, Meg.
It's rigged all over the nation to fuck up when someone votes 'democrat'. And it also counts republican votes twice.
It's been doing that for decades now.

Right now I hate that KFC doesn't give enough gravy to cover four biscuits and a container of mashed potatoes. Stingy jerks.
Cheers guys, it's a french song by a female artist so I don't know the lyrics.
I thought it was maybe Jane Birkin but I'm not so sure now.
Still, sometimes these things do have an upside, whilst trying to find out who sings the original song in question I discovered the amazing (& very beautiful!) Franciose Hardy who I am now very much in love with!
I guess clouds do sometimes have a silver linning :)

here's a complaint though: googling the lyrics won't work for me because one of the songs is an instrumental and the other I can't remember the first word.
Just how gorgeous is she?!!

Usually ticking just means the fan is just a PINCH off balance... nothing to fear, good buddy, your landlord will probably be able to fix it by tightening it up a tad.
It's freakin' November, though... I wouldn't think the fan was necessary. It's like 40 degrees outside in Tuscaloosa.
Thanks, Brad, for the tip. For some reason, I always fear that appliances will catch on fire. I think I was scarred as a child by the 'stop, drop and roll' movie they showed us at school where the kitten dies in a fire. I need the fan because I have an industrial heater and it makes the heat reach floor level.
My current complaint is that the heating element has gone out in my dryer so I have to hang my clothes on a clothes rack to dry AND I think my thermostat is messed up becasue I can't get my furnace to kick off. I've been turning it off by flipping the breaker :(

okay so i was thinkin' about numbers, right? just plain ol' numbers because i heard this conversaton in the hallway the other day and they were all like "pick a number 1 - 10" and the girl guessed "7" adn the person was like "RIGHT!!!" and i dont knwo why they were playign that game or anything but i do know that the number 7 is totally overrated.
i don't know what it is about seven! but let's be honest, ti's the cliche "random number" ultimately maknig it not random.
people always pick on seven, well lemme tell ya! i'm never usign that number again! because it tries so hard to be random and peopel fall nito it.
anywwwwwwwway so i was thinking - there are no random numbers... except one.
i was thinking about numbers. and i thought. okay so ... lets not work iwth 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 right now... those're jstu the roots. iw as thinkin' about the thirties adn all the others oens after htat... up to 99... from 21 - 99. but i worekd with teh thirties.
so i thought - okay... 37 is not random becasue of that goddamn seven. eithe ris 30 or 35 'cos they're landmark numbers... and 32 34 36 38 are not either 'cos tehy're EVEN. so I thought about 31 for awhile and came to the conclusion that it's a bit more random than the others, but if you took teh 30 away it'd onyl be 1 ultimately making it the least random since it's ONE...
so basically, 39... nobody ever thinks about numbers with the 9 in teh ones place ever...
in conclusion: FUCK THE NUMBER SEVEN. It's all about hte number 9.

Nine was always my favorite number in elementary school because you could use your hands for the answers to multiplication problems. You know what I'm talking about?
To figure out nine times three, you'd fold your third finger down and be like, "Oh! The answer is 27!" because the numbers before the folded finger were the groups of tens and the fingers after were the groups of ones.

2) Today my teacher assigned a rough draft due on One Day In the Life of Ivan Denisovich (ANYONE READ IT!?) due TOMORROW and I don't know what to focus on and I'm CHOOSING not to do it, which'll probably get me in trouble. I can word my way around most things, but the book is HOPELESS. i liked it a lot, but id ont like the direction we're taking it in class.

I would, but he's not actually AT the station. He's currently coming in from a satellite feed. But if I ever see him in person, he's going to get more than an earful, I assure you.

No man thats the Lions effect. When they play a team the other team plays to their level. Lions lose by a touchdown to shitty teams and lose by a touchdown to good teams like the Pats. They have an aura of "stink" that almost always keeps them in games only to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Fire Millen!

story of my life. :(
Warning! Actung! Cuidado! Girly rant to follow!
I went on a date with a guy I incorrectly assumed to be awesome. We have a lit class together, and he always has the most insightful comments, so of course my loser ass has to swoon over him. Anyway, we go on this date and he turns out to be a complete and total waste of my time. He was rude to the waitress, and all he did was talk about himself. When I started to ask him about all the major literary works he supposedly knows so much about, his response was, "Eh. I don't really give a shit. I just use a bunch of quotes from Sparknotes so people think I'm smart." As if that weren't enough, he made some comment about how he didn't like seeing so many girls go to college, because that meant he'd have more "skirts" to deal with in the workforce. What a dick. And he said My Morning Jacket was "too pretentious" for him.
Worst.
Date.
Ever.
And the saddest thing is, he's the first guy in this godforsaken, sorry-excuse-for-a-city to ask me on a date in, like, three months. I guess my not being a "Laguna Beach" look-a-like somehow renders me invisible to men? What the hell is wrong with me? I'm not a total bitch, and I'm pretty damn hot. ??? I mean, damn.
Damn!
In addition, one of my friends is ignoring me for no reason, and it is pissing me off. Girls are so wierd. Seriously.
awww, that sucks meg! At least you figured it out on the first date and didn't waste a whole lot of time thinking he was Mr. Wonderful only to find out three months later he's only as smart as his Sparknotes. (I used to love that website though)

Theres good guys out there. We just get overlooked by you damn women. I do mean damn women in a good way. Anyway, hope you have better luck. You're not the only one out there.
unfortunately, guys (and girls) are like cars. fortunately for you, you were able to test drive this clunker and take it right back to the lot without buying...
here's some advice from an old turd-stop looking altogether. sounds like crappy advice, but if the car lot is short in supply where you are, someone will drive by soon enough that will fancy your interest that isn't part of the usual lot.
meaning, you're obviously young (and hot) so wait for mr. right to come along. don't settle for the '82 Nova with 100k miles and a shot transmission (which this guy sounds like). sooner or later, an '06 Mustang will happen by, if only by accident...I swear this works.
You know I kind of agree with you on that John but then I kind of don't. Sometimes, I think, people have to make things happen. You can' just sit home and expect a new car to pull up in front of the house. ;)
I used to think that if I stopped looking something would happen but in the past 10 years, I've been on 4 dates. I'm not hot stuff or anything, but I'm not exactly a dog either. So, um, yeah ... I don't really have any advice on dating. I'm a bit out of the loop.
oh, I'm not advocating waiting forever, but advising not to jump the first train that comes along...selectivity is my gospel I'm preachin'.
and i've seen pics of both you and you are selling yourself short, my friend. 8)
Quoteoh, I'm not advocating waiting forever, but advising not to jump the first train that comes along...selectivity is my gospel I'm preachin'.
I can agree with that. I'll add though that there are some decent people out there who don't really make good first impressions. So if a guy asks you out and you think he's nice but not your type, give him half a chance :)

I wasn't giving you advice John!!! :D

Maybe your friend isn't really a good friend. The good ones don't abandon you in a time of distress or need.
Hey cheer up. There's lots of good guys out there. I waited a long time - and I mean a very long time - to find the right girl and I did not date around. Maybe I have good foresight. It just kind of happened. My advice is maybe you should look for a shy guy (which is what I used to be). And hey, if I wasn't living in a different country, recently married and ten years younger, I'd ask you out.

Quoteit's annual review time--time to tell my employees how they did this year :-/
Last place I worked at had an interesting process. The employees had to rate themselves in various areas/skills ahead of the review with their boss. The actual performance review was then based on the employee's own perception of their work, and any differences between that and the boss' opinion.
Made for a lively discussion, and an occasional "full and frank exchange of views" (ie a big barney)...
Yes! They kinda do that here--I solicit the employees to rate themselves on their performance against the various goals in their performance plans. Lemme tell ya there are some less-than-creative writers in this bunch--one guy wrote: "I feel like I have met all my goals this year." Riveting stuff. ::)

As long as you got that paper man, that's all that matters. I had a cumulative 2.5 after school but my courses pertainiing to my field I had a 3.8 or so. That's all they looked at and I don't think it even matters in most jobs... just stick with it!

meh.
Is there any way you can end the tutoring if you don't really need it?
sure, but my mom insists that i need it. i don't test well, nor am i motivated, but i certainly understand a whole lot. we mostly do my homework and i ask him questions about things i understand so he thinks i'm interested in learning more. i love him so much and respect him even more... he's must be one of the most intelligent men on the planet... and i am glad that we work together, but i don't need it. at all. i'm not going this week 'cos one'f my brothers has college stuff he has to take care of...

i shouldn't complain as others have real troubles, but the rockabillyish band that uses the loft across from mine as a rehearsal space is currently practicing which means they will soon do their cover of the fabulous thunderbirds' "wrap it up, i'll take it." they usually do that song at least a few times during every practice session. uggh. the joys of living in a warehouse.

I lost my parents nearly ten years ago. I miss them especially badly at this time of year.
Real sorry to hear that Susan, thinking of you at this time...
My thoughts are with you, Susan. Christmas has not been the same for anyone in my family since my dad passed 2 years ago. I definitely felt relief last year when the holidays were over. This year I am trying to get into the spirit more, especially because he loved this season, and lots of little things about it make me think of him. I'm sure your parents are still with you, though, and always will be. Take care.
Thanks, guys :)
And Colleen, I've reached a point when I can think about them and laugh about things they did and not get upset every time. I'll tell you something about them if I may. My Mum used to take a feather boa to parties in case anybody asked her to sing 'Big Spender'. And they usually did!! My Dad used to roll his eyes at it but he loved it really.
You take care too, and have a happy CHristmas.
Ok so i rented 2001: a space oddysey from blockbuster which i've been wanting to do for awhile but it was out everytime i checked. I'm watching it and getting real into it and its starting to get real interesting. The one dude has the conversation with the computer and it mentions that something about the mission is a little fishy. I'm wondering what that thing is they dug up on the moon and the significance to the ape people that it had. So I'm at the part where he concludes his conversation and he goes to check on that thing that it said was going to stop working in 72 hours or something. The guy is floating in space and i feel a little anxiety cause that freaks me out the thought of just floating in vast empty space and then the dvd starts to skip and just stop. The dude is frozen in space. I take it out and see that its cracked. Scene selection won't let me access any chapters past this point. I'm going to demand a free rental. I would just buy the dvd but i can't find any copys by itself without getting the kubrick collection. I want to get that set eventually anyway i think i'm gonna buy it.

Quoteok, what I said a few days ago plus having pnuemonia.

That sucks. Hope you feel better. I had pneumonia in the fall and this stuff called Clear Lung really worked for me, as did taking the herb fenugreek and lots of garlic. You can get all of these items at health food stores. Unfortunately, though, the thing that finally blasted it away when nothing else could was steroids for a week (prednisone). If you go that route, though, be careful not to hang out with people that irritate you or you might want to pick a fight. It also could make the mean reds worse. Good luck.

Hey face we share a birthday! Well, same day, different years. ;)
NO NO NO! you must always have a backup!! damn it!! I feel your pain.
System Restore folks. Click on the Start button, select Programs then Accessories the System Tools and look for something like System restore or back up or something similar. Most computers create a back up date once a month or so, but you can actually create your own back up date if you want. It's self explanatory once get the page opened up, it just walks you through it.
Everything you've ever had on your PC and then deleted is still there until that space is reused.

a current complaint -
i plaaaaaaaaaannnned on having the house to myself tonight 'cos my moms going out of town with my step dad and i said i was going to "sleep at my friensd house". but instead, i chose just last night to come home only fourteen minutes late... i've never been late in my entire LIFE! but since i wasn't home till 12:44 opposed to 12:30 (mind you, i talked to her while i was walking home at 12:30, 2 blocks away... it jsut took me awhile...!). so i had to stay in tonight at my dads, a half hour from civilization.
hmph.
Not a big complaint, but I have a terrible craving for ice cream that we don't have in the US. I had it over the summer in Europe and I was hooked. It is so yummy!!!
(http://images.ciao.com/iit/images/products/normal/924/Magnum_Double_Caramel__323924.jpg) Why don't we have Magnum Double Caramel in the US? Why?

Oh yes. Magnum Double Caramel is so awesome! I love it! :P
i had one of those once and nearly went into a sugar-induced coma it was so good
I'm embarrassed to say that I had one of those ice creams daily for two weeks straight, I could really go for one now.
And oyu don´t have Magnum Double in the US? I always thought that those ice creams were first sold in the US and then if the success was big enough in Europe or kind like that.
It absolutely reeks of gas in midtown manhattan right now. HEll, I'm herin all over the city and into Jersey. Weird.
ooh, my friend just sent me a message about that. I hope everything is okay! Don't light a match.
Thanks bug! ;) I can't smell anything now, the city still doesn't know what happened. Real strange, maybe it's attributed to the giants and jets losing yesterday.

Quoteinsomnia. uggh. five days and counting. am starting to look like i have 2 black eyes.
have you tried taking melatonin? it helped me. that or benadryl, which is the main ingredient in all those "pm" pain relievers. if that doesn't work, i suggest xanax and maker's.
Quotehave you tried taking melatonin? it helped me. that or benadryl, which is the main ingredient in all those "pm" pain relievers. if that doesn't work, i suggest xanax and maker's.
thanks for the suggestions, Meg! Melatonin does work for me, as do the pm's, but they make me sleep too deeply. Problem is, I'm in the middle of some critical family health issues and when I sleep too deeply, I don't hear my phone (or the 3 alarm clocks I set). I wish there was some in between sleep state between none and like a rock. For those of you that want to sleep deeply, those are great suggestions. Another is this stuff called seraphos that increases seratonin production and you wake up feeling really sharp (but again sleep really deeply). Maybe I could borrow someone's baby to train myself to be a light sleeper.
no problem, colleen! :) hope things get better for you soon.
my current complaint: someone i hate and have deliberatley avoided for six goddamn months somehow got my cell phone number and has called me twice since noon. son of a bitch! i do not want to have to pay to get my number changed. >:(

Thanks. My gran is dying. Hopefully she'll be at peace soon. I'm actually grateful to have the chance to be as involved as I've been. Just bitching about some of the side effects.
About your complaint, I feel for you because I have been dealing with what sounds to be a similar situation. I hadn't seen this person in 8 months and ever since he and his partner split up he has been calling repeatedly. We were just friends except for one incident but I think he is not capable of being alone and has just decided that we need to be in contact again (regardless of what I think). I don't get why some people can't take a freakin hint. And just because I have a phone doesn't mean I want to always use it. Anyway, good luck with your situation. There's always a restraining order (sort-of kidding, not entirely).

i have a sleeping problem as well. i've come to the point where i can't sleep unless i'm not sober. which is terribly embarrassing. but i literally have to pass out. then i can sleep for up to fourteen hours... which ultimately gets me on a bad schedule.
otherwise, i suffer from my headaches and stay up to about... 6:30 then sleep from then to 8.
fanttttttttttttastic!
no sleep on the weekdays. :-/
thus i am quitting! a lot of things. for awhile anyway.
errm - once a weekend, that' what i've decided.
until i can sleep easy. and these head things stop.

I'm so sorry to hear that! I know that it has to be tough on you; I have been going through a similar situation with my granddad. I am sending positive vibes your way.
As far as my situation is concerned, I'll deal. Not that I want to, but I will. Sometimes I wish I weren't a pacifist/girl so that I could just kick this sumbitch's ass and he'd finally get the hint. :-[

Thanks, good vibes right back at you. You can always take a break from being a pacifist for a day. I occasionally do when the situation warrants it. Think of it as doing the person's next victim a favor.
Meg, the best things about a pacifism break:
- no one ever sees it coming!
- after it's all over, you can just slip back into the pleasant shadows.
- when the 'victim' tries to bitch about it to their friends (<-- if applicable), no one ever believes them! "She said that? Well, I never! Surely you are blowing things out of proportion."
Temporary lapse of pacifism= the gift that keeps on giving. Treat yourself today!

"Pacifism is not the answer here, dude." I'm sure things will work out for me. They always do. Thanks for the concern, ladies. It's good to know that I'm not the only girl who's had to deal with the obsessive types.

First of all ali, it's 4:20 pm. Secondly, why would you need air conditioning if it's 31 degrees and winter time. Next thing you are going to tell me is that your water goes counter-clockwise when you flush the toilet.

I'm just gonna come out and say it: I hate winter. I LOATHE this season more than words can express. Yeah, sure you get snow and cocoa and scarves and all that, but those things are not enough to fill the deep, painfully cold void winter leaves in my soul.
When I wake up in the morning, it's still dark outside. When I get home from work--it's still dark. I can't stand it. I can't stand all these dreary days. I need some SUN. I'm tired of being inside. I'm tired of stale air and having to leave my heat on 24/7.
I want it to be spring. I want to open my windows. I want to stand barefoot in the grass and feel the bliss that is sunshine warming my cheeks. I want to fall in love with the idea that the world can renew itself in soft shades of yellow, green and pink.
But... I don't get that now; do I? Just grey: dreary, dull and cold. I hate it. :'(
If you need me, I'm going to be trying to find some place that offers light box therapy.
Peace.
Out.
:( Would it be possible for you to bundle up and take a walk at lunch time?
Oh come on now, we've got it so made in Kentucky with winter...having lived in other parts of the country during winter time, this ain't shit here. Hell, if it actually SNOWS for longer than a minute or two, the TV makes the masses scramble to the grocery for "emergency" supplies.
Sure, it's dreary and rains a lot in the winter, but it hardly ever gets too cold (by that I mean goin' down to 10 and staying there for months on end) and in a few days it's back in the 50's.
Cheer up, it could be MUCH worse. Remember in 94, when everything shut down? that's normal winter for everyone north of us!
i know it's not that bad here. it's not the cold i hate the most, it's the fact that the sun sets at 5pm everyday. and while (i mean if) the sun is out, i'm stuck inside. maybe i have seasonal disaffective disorder or whatever it's called. :-[
You could always take up a new hobby, like belly dancing :o.
I know what you mean, I get kinda blue in the winter months too. If it snowed here, I'd go skiing a lot as that usually cheers me up.
Also, you might want to try upping your vitamin C intake. It really helps me a LOT.
that, or smoke more. hee hee
As cheesy and bad for you as they are, tanning huts can help in winter. The first year I lived in Washington State, it rained every day for 101 days in the winter. Once or twice a week, I would go to one of those places with the wonderful names like Jamaica-me-tan or Tan-Fastic just for 5 minutes to get a blast of light. I didn't go to get tan but I think it did prevent me from slitting my wrists for lack of light. Also, if you put full-spectrum light bulbs in some of your lamps, that helps a lot too. SAD is real. THEY say that everyone needs at least 15 minutes of sunlight a day or the equivalent for calcium and vitamin d absorption. One thing, though, is don't sit under one of these lamps at night or you'll never sleep because your pineal gland will be tricked into thinking it's morning.
thanks for the suggestions, colleen and jc.
give me a month, and i'll be a bronzed belly-dancer. and a happy one at that.
Current complaint = I drank all my coffee! :(
Ooo, I need more coffee... work sucks today, like most other days.
People that try and make you work faster when you work faster than any other of your department can piss off. I work circles around my contemporaries and they just want more.(http://www.mymorningjacket.com/yabb2files/Smilies/thumbdown.gif%3Cbr%20/%3E)

gawd, thursdays suck! i work twelve hours on thursdays. i get off work in... three more hours. damn.

My current complaint is that a TRAIN HAS DERAILED NEAR MY HOUSE! EEEEPPP! I want to go home and check on my critters but the roads are closed and the only way I can get there right now would probably take hours because of all the redirected traffic :(

we've been getting a lot off the ap wire about that train fire.
hope your pets are ok, bug!
Well, so far I think the pets are fine. My mom is at work which is about 5 minutes from my house and she has a key so if they say my area has to evacuate she's going to run in and grab the animals. Right now all the animals are inside and the wind is blowing in the opposite direction, so I'm just hoping that won't change.
hope you don't have to evacuate.
my trivial complaint: i loathe dave ramsey. we run his show for three hours everyday, and godamn(!) do i hate him.
Bug, I hope your pets are ok, you need some 4wd to go the ky backroads and get to those guys!
I hate Dave Ramsey too...
My complaint is more about myself...
see this "..." I use this too much... FUCK, I did it again. I can't stop... FUCKFUCK!

friends with substance abuse problems and not knowing how to help them... but knowing you have to help them... and worrying yourself sick over them... and knowing that if you try to help them, then they'll fucking hate you... and knowing that if you don't help them, then god only knows what will happen next... and feeling like you're going to lose them either way so you don't really know what to do except... no, you just really don't know what to do... so... goddamn it what do you do?
Sorry but I'm not touching that one. That being said good vibes being sent to you and your friend in hopes that all gets better.

If you remember I lost a cousin to said problem about a month ago. I am sorry to say that unless the person themselves wants to quit then there is really not much you can do. (at least that was our situation, I am not speaking for all). I do however respect the new reality that has been applied to substance abuse. There for many years people just blamed their problems, upbringing etc. Now we have Bonaduce and some others who just tell it like it is, "I just like to feel High". Some people just do not know when to quit or what to avoid. Good luck, and my thoughts are with you.......

nuts, that's just uncool. know it well, been there before! in my own boat and for another.
in my case, i just bottomed out and thankfully understood that I wasn't a criminal and didn't want to pimp myself for drugs.
in my friend's case, I just had a long talk with him. He was fucked up when we talked, but something I said got through. He's off drugs now, but me and 100 other people who cared about him were the ones to get him through it.
I don't envy you at all.
In my "current compliants" dept., I'm still bitching about my phony friend. She sucks!
i just spent my lunch break having a massive fight with my roommate.

rollingstone. they pissed me off again. got the new issue in the mail, panic at the disco on the cover. why? rollingstone really needs to focus on music, not what mtv thinks is music. although they did mention MMJ a couple time in the issue. rollingstone, is the reason why i bought my first mmj cd. but thats all they have going for them.

Local radio station had its old morning show (which actually was pretty funny) replaced by some national one that sucks. I now have nothing to listen to in the morning >:(
my fucking roommate. i just got guitar hero last night. i get home from work, i play for maybe 30 minutes. stop cause i wanted hints from red, he takes over the game. i was gone for maybe 25 minutes. he played the whole time i was at school and at work. you gotta understand this guy. he's the same guy who will be up till 8 in morning playing solcom in his room swearing up a storm. my other roommate has to wear ear plugs while he sleeps cause he is that loud. also he'll take a nap from 8am till 10am just so he can wake up cause his solcom buddies are getting up in boston. (we live in minnesota) he has his own ps2 and tv that he plays on. why does he have to play on mine? i stayed in my room the whole night. i get up to brush my teeth cause after this message i'm going to bed. then he stops playing and goes to his room to play solcom. that asshole. i know its just a game, but you sit in your room the whole night, a guy gets a little worked up'd. i was seriously thinking about taking that guitar away from him and hitting him in the face with the guitar and my fist. but like mike brady always said, "never go to bed mad." ....fuck mike brady.

It would certainly seem that way right now. My students are all getting older (i guess that happens to kids sometimes?) & want later classes, which means I won't be finishing work until 8 or 9.
Saturdays & Sundays are still safe.
I know I should count myself lucky for having a good job but I sure do love live music (who here doesn't?)
depression.....loneliness. Dealing with with it. Something drastic needs to happen.
i do the news and blah blah blah whatnot all morning, and the audacity of some people just never ceases to amaze me.
when i read the high school sports scores, i try to alternate who is "first" with each of the five newscasts. (once i'll read all the boys team's scores, then the girls, so on and so forth)...
well, this douchebag just called and was all, "why you readin them girls scores first? boys go first, honey (yeah, this asshat called me honey. then he sort of did this condescending laugh which pissed me off even more). you think you can remember that? say it with me, honey: boys go first."
what a dick. if i could, i would have cock-punched him and been like, "well, i would have punched your wife, but... boys go first."
I hate people like that. In SC we have people who persist in selling bumper stickers that say The South Shall Rise Again! On top of that, they refuse to take down the confederate flag in Columbia. There are too many rednecks down here...

Rollin Stone basically blows--they have been sending me copies since I bought tickets to a show last year (some promotion with Tickethun) and I basically look at the charts and see whos putting music out then throw it away.

I don't like most of Skynard's stuff. MMJ are not Skynard. There will be Skynards for years to come, but there will never be another Jacket. And can MMJ accurately be called "Southern" Rock? Kentucky is, for me, pretty far north.

did anyone hear what tim hardaway said about gay people in the nba? he didn't hold back, holy shit :o
"First of all, I wouldn't want him on my team. And second of all, if he was on my team, I would, you know, really distance myself from him because, uh, I don't think that is right. I don't think he should be in the locker room while we are in the locker room."
"You know, I hate gay people, so I let it be known. I don't like gay people and I don't like to be around gay people," he said while a guest on Sports Talk 790 The Ticket. "I'm homophobic. I don't like it. It shouldn't be in the world or in the United States."

I promised this girl I'd make her a mix tape for Friday and here I am just getting started. AHhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
I should really be sleeping, but she's pretty so I'll do it.
Good call man. Nothing guarantees romance like a mixtape.
It's shaping up to be a good one. I get far too much pleasure from making mix tapes.

Have you done anything to get him back? You have to put a stop to this.
the mayo-muffs
are my new favorite invention. Sorry.
i got done mopping a bbq spill, and nailed him right in the face with the mop. i took a half a bottle of heinz 57 mixed it with water and sprayed him with it. i filled a squirt bottle full of chicken blood and sprayed him down with it. i got him with butter also...etc. and that was the last half hour of work
but its about the hair.

I gotta side with Brian here. Not much can top the 'mayo-muffs' I don't think. You're going to have to get creative.
i think "antiquing" someone is worse. spray them down with water, then throw floor on them. when it dries, the shirt is "rock hard" and "shift".

i don't know if this is considered a complaint or not, because i don't really know how i feel about it yet.
but i haven't even thought about sleeping yet, and i imagine that if i tried, iw oudln't be able to. i don't know if i'm tired yet. but i'm eating a clementine in bed with my computer on my lap. and i just got off the phone after two and a half hours. and i just don't know how i feel about sleeping yet. there's a lot i still should think about.
maybe i should try.
but maybe i shouldn't.
everytime i think about it, i think about it more and weigh out hte pros and cons. there're plenty (i almost wrote prenty) of physical disadvantages of staying up. but maybe i'll mentally benefit. how? i dont' know. that's the thing. nobody ever knows. .
what?!
maybe i should take antoher dose of benadryl and shut the fuck up.

Goon of an English teacher gave me a 25 on a notes assignment. For no reason other than she felt like it. I actually HAD a good grade in that class until now. One note she gave me a 50 on because one of the notes didn't show a certain "opinion". The other she gave me no credit for because she couldn't read the source number (should've been obvious... I only used 1 source). >:(
Please join me in "verbally flogging" her.

My current complaint: Why can't you buy the entire Wonder Years series on DVD? Seriously, what the fuck? This could make people happy and rich.
QuoteMy current complaint: Why can't you buy the entire Wonder Years series on DVD? Seriously, what the fuck? This could make people happy and rich.
One of my favorites... Unfortunately, all we've got is the "Best Of" DVD... that's like having a "Greatest Hits" album for My Morning Jacket, or "Best Episodes" of Family Guy. It's ridiculous.
Actually, it's not just ridiculous... it's straight up offensive.

I bet the "best of" doesn't even have that episode where wayne vaccuums up that hamster kevin had for a science project.
Oh, the hamster episode, one of them was named Weezer. Remember? Yeah, it is trully unfortunate that they haven't released it on DVD. I've done some research on it and from what I gather, it has a lot to do with copyright issues. For the music and the like. A couple of years ago I bit the bullet and bought a bootleg copy off of ebay. Total waste of money in my opinion. For one, all of the episodes were taped off of the ABC Family channel, and for two, the damn things skip and tile and completely shut down my player. When I went back to complain to the seller he was no longer on ebay. Looks like someone else got to him first. Very good complaint, been one of mine for many years.

that sucks. have you seen them before? if you haven't that sucks even more!
:-[ no i haven't
they're on line for 85 bucks.
i'm weighing otu teh pros and cons...
heres what you do: you email the people who are selling them for an outragous price. in that email make sure you tell them that their a bunch of assholes for doing this. ask them why would a person in California need tickets to a concert in Boston? then say oh thats right you're in it for the money and not for the music. make sure tell them how sad that is.
i sent an email like that to a person for about a week straight. it didn't work, but maybe he realized what a jerk off he is.
i was lucky enough to see the them in nola in 05. they were booked for the parish @ HOB which is a small room above the House of Blues and that easily sold out so the night of the show like tons of people showed up trying to get more tickets and they realized the main HOB room was empty so they moved it in there and sold that out. That was like a 300-700 person increase. Not suprised at all that it sold out so quick.
i appreciate all that, but as i said before, i got a ticket! a friend of mine pickesd up an extra one by accident hahahaha :):)
hahahaha, its not 18+?
nooo siiirrrr!!!

Seriously, no face? This forum is starting to run out of steam.
We need some new album hype like Radiohead are having.
Seems a little silly to delete yourself on account of feeling disconnected from everyone. I think that's a bogus excuse to begin with, though - I've seen lots of folks engage with you around here, and while it may not be on first name basis or anything, you're far from overlooked.
Take care, see you soon.
QuoteThis forum is starting to run out of steam.

I was thinking the forum had alot going for it here lately. We're hot heels from Okonokos and New Years, we've fresh stuff to rant about with the Bonnaroo Conspiracy, thoughts and speculations on the upcoming studio album, solo projects to talk about, a mindblowing Archive project in the works, the "One Big Holliday" (goddamn, why is it spelled wrong?) get together, etc, etc.

not speaking for face, but i think this post is part of the problem. you think it's silly, but obviously she doesn't, and that's why she left. do you have some magical powers to gauge the seriousness of people's problems? i'm sure i'm not the only one who thinks most of your "complaints" or "problems" are bogus and petty, but no one has ever called you out on them. (well maybe now i have.) we all react to situations and events in different ways. maybe this big spoon problem face had was too overwhelming, and she needs time to re-energise.

nope, that's the one i meant to quote. i could have easily chosen dylan's post, but he and i have disagreed before, so it seems more fun this way.

You definately aren't speaking for face.
I've never shot down
anyone for their current complaint - you can try sticking up for face by attempting to take me down a notch to call my "complaints" bogus and petty, but my "Current Joys" are probably of the same caliber - bottom line is, I don't give a shit what you think about the quality of my posts, and I won't delete myself on account of one asshole sharking around and trying to pick a fight.
My comment that you quoted doesn't even MENTION her complaint to begin with. I only said it was silly for her to delete herself and make out as if it were on account of Dylan's comment - I felt like that was a bogus excuse, and that it was a bit unfair to Dylan.
Matter of fact, after you informed her of my response, she sent me a note saying that she didn't mean to single anyone out, but that she's been going through alot of junk and isn't able to contribute much to the Jacket talk, so she's left for the time being. I felt that was basically confirming what I said - that it wasn't about Dylan's comment.
Irregardless, I obviously made my comment
AFTER Face deleted herself... So the fact that you would come after
me as if I'm responsible in any way for her leaving is total bullshit to begin with.
QuoteThis forum is starting to run out of steam
(sigh)
While I've privately thought that for some time, that's just my opinion and not what others obviously think. We've come a long, LONG way since 2002. In FIVE FUCKING YEARS, a lot has been discussed. Rumors spread and/or quashed. Parties have met and exchanged the love. Just think, Face was 10 when we started out this journey. Har har.
There's just so much that can be discussed in a forum like this-but everyone is different insofar as their level of tolerance for the level of discussions going on. Maybe it's me, maybe it's everyone, maybe it's somewhere in between.
All messageboards go through this. It's not an MMJ thing or music thing, but a messageboard thing. I've seen it happen time and time again. I used to just lurk for the last, oh two years or so on here as I felt like I had run out of things to say. Sounds impossible...but true. But like all habits, since I've been doing this so long, it seems odd to stop, and I miss some of the conversations that we used to have. Put it this way-the board is like an old pair of shoes, comfortable-but they need polished every once and a while. Taking a break is a huge way of finding other things to talk about.
Not to mention that I've got a job and a daughter and frankly, it's been hard to find time to post about the Gorton's Fisherman or how my cat's breath smells like cat food. Maybe it's just a lack of inspiration at this juncture.
I loved reading face's posts just as everyone did, but maybe since she's 15 she needs space-or not. Dunno. If you read this, come on back.
I'm not sure where I'm going with this, but maybe I'm running out of steam too. At least for the day.

I hear you on this one. The capped sleeve was an OK invention until it kept getting smaller and smaller. It has given me a total complex about my arms that was nonexistent with regular tees. And a lot of them are so tight-fitting they cut off circulation.

i love cap sleeve shirts! i have kind of broad shoulders, so they make them look smaller. plus, in the summer, they're really nice to wear because i don't like wearing tank tops
okay, my only current complaint is that it was 71 & Sunny here yesterday - but it's supposed to snow on Saturday. Enough is enough! :P

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I really want to bail on my graduate program. I'm done with all of my credits and all that's left is a written thesis, oral exams and an exhibition, but the faculty won't let me do these things until next spring (2008). They say it's because I'm not ready, but I suspect it's because they need my labor. That means I can't apply for a tenure-track teaching position that starts next fall, but will instead have to carry on with this bullshit adjunct stuff for another year or find some other temporary thing. I am so frustrated because I really want to get out of this area and move on with my life. It would be a shame to jump ship now but I really need a break from academia. Sometimes I really think that art just doesn't work in an institution anyway. uggh. Thanks for this space to vent. I'm probably just in escapist mode because I just had a taste of the outside world for a few days.
$350 to fix my photocopier! Grrr

I went to school for commercial art & design and don't have a job in it. I haven't really looked though i don't know where to begin. I just like doing my own thing with it. I don't want to be stuck doing jobs for clients that want something done one way even though i think it might suck. I'd get bored with that.
anybody else play the lottery? i bought a powerball ticket. why is it that i always think i'm going to win? i dream of what i would do with 100 million dollars. and when i always lose, i'm pissed. even when going into it, i know my chances are 1 in 200,000,000,000,009
I've had a shitty, one-thing-after-the-other kind of day. But the weird thing is I'm not in that bad of a mood, although I certainly should be. Take that, life!
Well, at least you're in first place in the My Morning Bracket tournament. :)

i am so, so hungry. like, so hungry that i thought this thread was in "off-topic rumblings."
Not being allowed to go to music festivals. I never have a shot at Bonnaroo or Langerado because of the "crowds". Hey, I'm in high school, I'm older than they think!
Also, that kinda puts me out of this "One Big Holiday" camp talk. :(

Feel for you dear. I am a certified teacher in NE, IL, MO, IA, CO, MI and many others yet I work for Nestle Purina. Go figure. Of course it could be because most high school kids really do not care much about American History especially 20th century. That be why I schlep pet food/litter instead.

What's your definition of a "kid"? Is there a certain age limit? In case this becomes a tradition... 8-)

I think 18 is a reasonable age limit. (or should it be 21?) Let's say 21
(on paper) ;)

Thanks, Meg! The details of my story are long and boring so I'll skip telling them now. In summary I taught at the college level for 5 years before this program and now feel/and am treated like I was never a grown-up and it affects me because I feel like I should have finished this degree years ago. But, I should set my ego aside, stick it out and get the stupid credential. It helps to have people like you pulling for me.

Sorry to hear that. Have you ever tried the private school route? Also, did you go to Cornell? I saw the Big Red reference and was curious. I went there as an undergrad.
OMFG I want to go home.

no. no. no.

Went to school in Nebraska. Go Big Reg is for my beloved Huskers. Privates schools in Omaha, and here in the hickish Illinois suburbs of St Louis, pay crappy. Even schools for the over privleged paid kinda crappy. Plus I make at least double then what I would as a teacher outside of teaching. Lot less rewarding though :(

yep. working waaaaay too many of those myself. Pet food is very lucrative but very stressful and busy.

So I was sitting here and the phone rang...it was some lady saying they need someone to come over and give last rights to a baby. I was like 'Uh....what!?". She was like "Is this Sacred Heart?" Um, no. She had the wrong number. But it freaked me out a little. :-/
Now I know that some baby is dying as I type this. Fuck.
maybe it's not death.
maybe it's just recycling?

Oh how distressing. Really sad for you.
People who try to guilt you into hanging out with them. Really kills any good vibes you had going on with the person. So manipulative.

DUMB BOSSES! I am so glad friday is my last day.
my boss is an asshole!!!!
I got a new kid today and he is killing the culture of my classroom. He has a checkered past to say the least. I'd like to help him but at this point in the year I'd rather focus on teaching. AWWW!!!

Isn't that just a small mircrocosm of what's wrong with this world? One fucking ass hole ruins so much shit for the rest of us. The lowest common denominator. Just like so many of the laws in this country have been developed because a few jackasses can't handle responsibility. So we have to be told by our government what we can and cannot do. >:( Sorry, mini rant.

No I totally hear you. It pisses me off. I have 24 kids I am responsibile for and they are going to be so worse off now because of this kid. Not only because of his behavior but because of the time and energy I have to spend dealing with his bullshit. I mean, I feel bad for the kid, but I really feel bad for the other 24 kids in my class. This kid is B-A-D BAD.
But, like you're saying BH, this shit totally happens in real life, so the other kids are learning a valuable lesson: you have to suffer because other people suck, it's not fair, but too bad, deal with it (okay, that's a run-on sentence but it's been a long day folks!)

AMD- I feel for you. As much as I hate that I'm not teaching, I really do not miss that. I still have to deal with it in the corp. world, though.
ps: i feel like total shit right now. goddamn.

Good Lord what a terrible couple of posts. My complaint is whiners and "teachers" who say they have a student that "sucks".
oh, and elitists. Can't stand elitists.
you guys must be perfect.
seriously dude, you've gotta be kidding me! You're calling me an elitist? What gives me the moral high ground to call me that? This kid jumped on the principal's desk, pulled out his penis, and pissed on his last teacher. He runs out of the school as a habit and when picked up by the school counsellor kicked out her windows. He throw the stuff off my desk and yell at me that white people are stupid. In five days he has threatened 10-15 children and hit, kicked, or punched five. But I suppose I'm a horrible teacher teacher because I'm frustrated that this behavior is happening to the determent of 24 other children's education. Get off your high fucking horse and give me a break!

You can read whatever you want to into "teacher" (and I would look long and hard into why you took it to the "horrible" place, considering I never said that). I work with very difficult and dangerous and disruptive kids, and the LAST thing I do is put them down and say they "suck"; you do that and you're doomed (unless you plan on "teaching" angels your whole life). You may not think you are "teaching" all the other kids that this kid "sucks" (and you are re-enforcing it with the kid), but you are.
And that's probably not your job or what you learned in school (unless you went to a school where they teach you to treat the "good" kids better than the "bad" kids).
I happen to disagree with saying a young person "sucks", PERIOD.

And I know you work with troubled kids, you remind us at every fucking turn so that you can remind us that you are morally superior to those who don't, you fucking elitist.
And you can drop the Freud psycho-babble about the horrible shit. I am a great teacher and I know it. I don't have to list my credenials for you but I assure you, I am.

aMd, I am not trying to fuck with you and I am sorry (seriously) you had a bad day; I had teachers growing up who thought I sucked and it hurt (and I acted out to show them I didn't care, when I really did).
I just can't stand adults who put young people down.
Do I take this shit too far and try to push buttons? Yes, I do. But the bottom line is to think outside the box and look at the world from the kid's perspective and not the empowered adult. If you think this kid is bad, then he will be bad. Pull something (anything) positive from him or he controls you and your classroom.
this would be a different conversation in person. I'm really not a dick (well...) and I get very passionate about certain stuff.

Can I just go back in time and say something about butterflies and rainbows?
I am all for trying to help people overcome their difficulties and applaud those that do help like both of you guys, especially young people that still have much hope. All I'm saying is that my current complaint is that there will always be an asshole that screws shit up for the rest of us. For example. Everybody pays more for things becuase of others that cheat and steal and care about nothing but themselves. Can't I complain about this in the "current complaint" thread without being called an elitist? Jeeesh.
Next time someone fucks me over, I'll be sure and just smile and feel bad that their parents never loved them.

I think both tracy and amd are both guilty of pushing buttons at times. But i'm leaning towards amd's side i suppose :-/ I wouldn't want to deal with that brat.
My complaint is arguments like this that get nowhere. Hate like this makes us sound like politicians. This forum was meant for the Jacket! And it shouldn't be a hotbed for pointless arguments. Let's not take this fight any further, folks.
look, tracy and i have had more (in terms of quantity and content) harsh words than anyone other two people here. he does like to push buttons, but looking back on everything, i think his main intent in the matter to make the other person to look at things in a different way. tracy does seem to come off in attack mode, but you have to realise arguments like these only arise when the emotions are at a high level. i've personally thought tracy to be the biggest dick ever, but i've also met him in person (albeit only for a few minutes), and i don't get the sense he's that way at all.

thats what i'm saying. people shouldn't complain about peoples current complaint.
call me a dick, call me an elitist, call me a hypocrite, call me an instigator; so be it. I can deal and I am in no way, shape or form perfect (nor have I ever claimed to be).
Rats and I have had heated disucssions but when we met, it was good and I was bummed I had to split out of the Nati so quickly.
But PM me and threaten to punch me in the teeth?
Got to step back folks, I'm not sure we're all on the same page here and I really don't want to provoke someone to those thoughts (even though I know it has very little (or anything) to do with me)).
fucking A it's a good thing we're not all alike. But you know what? We're all more alike than we are different.

« Date: Today at 8:56pm » I was not insulting the kid. you're the one who is reading into shit and "not responding totally to me" I was saying I feel sorry for the other 24 kids in the classroom and wish I could teach them. Do you not care about well-behaved kids. Or maybe you think education is not important?
I bet this would be a different coversation in person. If you had said your original comment to me in person I would have been libel to punch you in the teeth. So, if you're not picking up on it yet, yes it pisses me off because you have insulted me and disrespected me.

These guys make a grouchy old bitch like me look good! ;)
Finding a note from your girlfriend (pre-officially bf/gf) to one of her friends saying I had a "super small penis"...ouch. Not even true, at least according to the popular belief that 5.5 inches is average...plus her friend obviously didn't like me, going so far as to say "he's crazy." I know I shouldn't have read the letter, but I just found it, not like I was snooping for it...now I don't know what to do?! I really like her besides this, but damn that's a low blow! I'm starting to lose all faith in relationships :-/
5.5" Flaccid or Erect ?
Not everyone can have a BABY ARM.
LIKE ME :D just kidding
How long have you been together with her ?
QuoteFinding a note from your girlfriend (pre-officially bf/gf)
well, if she wrote that note
before you started dating, then you must have changed her mind ;)... look at it that way.
optimism! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Not just small but "super small". Wow, that's cruel. Maybe she was dating a porn star before you and that's all she knows.
Mine's only 3 inches long but it's 4 inches in diameter.
Been seeing her since early January, "officially" since early February...I try to be optimistic about the whole thing ("fuck the pessimists!" - EdVed) but damn is it hard...not sure I'll be able to, you know, ;D :-* ;) with her again :-/
Mine's 4". Some girls like it that wide. :P
Yeah I'm definitely a grower not a shower if you know what I mean...but like many guys I have measured before and it's definitely around the average range...I'm trying my damndest not to call her out on it

I bet if you accidentally stick it in her balloonknot, she will let you know how BIG it is.
She sounds like a shallow person, from what you wrote. I think you should move on.
I think she betrayed you by talking to her friends, thats gonna be tough to forget about. Every time your around her friends your gonna be thinking about that letter.

Haha...
Yeah that was a shallow thing to do...I mean, that's something you do AFTER you've decided to not date someone, not while you're still deciding...i don't think of her as a shallow person though, she just donated her eggs to help two total strangers, although she did receive a good chunk of money for compensation

I know this may be hard (no pun intended) to deal with, but in the big scheme of things, it's no big (no pun intended) deal.
If you are dating to get married, then it's
really no big deal (unless you suffer from micro penis). But if you're dating just for sex, then it will matter to her (and maybe to you and your self esteem). However, that's why God gave us tongues...
It's weird b/c guys judge women all the time (breasts, butt, weight, hair, etc...) but we get a little defensive when we feel our special member is being judged "unfairly".
There's like 50 million other women available, so, keep on truckin'!

Carlos Mencia.
QuoteCarlos Mencia.
agreed.
i cannot stand carlos mencia. i hate to sound pretentious, but i really do think that his "act" caters to a, uh, less intellectual audience. the thing that gets me about mencia's brand of comedy is that it doesn't make you think. he just exploits a stereotype and people fall over laughing; but what does that achieve?
comedy can make you think. think about mr. show or chapelle's show. yeah, they both had their base moments, but when it came to social issues, they knew how to deal with it in a way that lead the audience to think about those issues. bob and david or dave could take a stereotype and stretch it into something ridiculous. you'd laugh your ass off while watching, but afterwards, you'd start to wonder exactly why it was funny. in doing so, you begin to think about things differently.
to me, this is not present in mencia's comedy. he's merely perpetuating stereotypes instead of challenging them.
i mean, it's just my opinion... but carlos mencia's "act" sucks.
this has been a long ass week and I still have two 12+ hour days until it's over.
This isn't so much of a complaint as an observation of how wierd life is. But, I thought it would read as rather perverse if I put it in the current joys thread. I thought about starting another thread called 'the state that i am in' or maybe just 'current observations' or 'stories' but didn't.
Anyway, I have really felt like the angel of death lately. Yesterday, I was getting ready to go to see The Slip when my co-worker called me to say there was a badly injured cat underneath his porch. Next thing you know, I am crawling on my stomach through 2 feet of snow with a fishing net I purchased to catch the cat in order to bring it to be euthanized. Needless to say I skipped the show. I can't tell you how many animals have presented themselves to me in a similar or often more direct way over the years (pigeons, squirrels, cats, I even had to kill a dog I found in the middle of nowhere who had no hope of survival). I have also helped a few people die including my grandma recently.
The thing is, I don't really see death as being that different than life. We need help coming into and leaving this world. I realized also yesterday as I was crying for the cat who was suffering, that maybe being in this position with an animal allows me to mourn things that are happening which aren't in close proximity to me like people living in warzones, etc. I care about things far away but often feel like I can't access them emotionally and maybe this is a way to cry for them by crying for the cat. Anyway, I hope this story wasn't too dark for you. Just wanted to share it, as stuff like this sends me into a philosophical headspace and makes me question why we end up playing certain roles in life.

Very true, Tracy. Can't have one without the other.
Thanks, Taterbug. That's a nicer way of thinking about it.
Capt Tink Tank- have been meaning to get the DVDs of that show for awhile. I have never seen even one episode. I am actually not particularly morbid or negative or depressed or goth about these things (although I did have funerals for worms that drowned in rainstorms when I was little). It's just always been a thing that regularly happens to me and it's just been a little amped up at the moment. I don't consider it a burden, in some ways it's more of a privilege or perhaps just a curious pattern that sort of feels like a recurring dream. Oh and I never read stuff by face about this kind of thing, but I did/do appreciate a lot of what she posted.
What an Angel YOU are! :)

I stupidly got two parking tickets ($60 each) in Queens while visiting friends. I must have been completely spaced out when I parked right under a No Parking sign. Actually it was really because I had to pee so badly I would've dropped my car almost anywhere so I could deal. The second one was for an expired inspection sticker. Freaking New York State-everything costs more here.

I don't mean to get real political or anything, but this has been really making me angry all day.
my current complaint: Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson >:(
Im not a racist in the slightest, and im not complaining about african-americans in anyway. I am simply complaining about these two guys and those around him who are nothing more that poilitcal extortionists who feed the fire of racial divisons. The last two days have made me realized how screwed up the recent operations of these two "leaders" have been.
This all started with Imus' extremly racists comments that I believe are horrible, but I don't think he deserves to get fired for them. He's never really had a racist record up and till now, and from what Ive seen he, unlike Michael Richards, was simply taking banter too far and didn't realize really what he had said. A 2 week suspension I think is adequate, and as Charles Barkley put it, "a person shouldn't get fired for saying one stupid thing."
But of course, as soon as the words came from his mouth, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson jump on Imus in no time at all. I can understand pointing it out, and condeming it, but what these two men do is not better the situation, its fuel the fire and make it increasingly worse. They say its part of a massive media dislike of African Americans, and trot around like the leaders of all African Americans, demanding that Imus apoligize not to the team that was offended, but to THEM. Is that not flawed? Like they put it on South Park recently, "Jesse Jackson is not the president of black people."
But it all turned today I think. Earlier, it was announced that all charges against the three Duke Lacrosse players who had been accused of rape were to be cleared of all charges. As you might remember, when this story broke, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton led the charge against these boys like they were the reincarnation of Adolf Hitler. Sure, if it had been true then the verbal-attacks would have been warranted, but all along most who looked at the case could see it most likely was not. Not Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson though, nope, they carried on and rallied people around hate, not compassion or equality, but hate of three average, white, males who had been accused of rape. But today, those three boys have been exonerated, but their reputations are forever scared. Why? They were treated like demons by Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. Wheres there apology? Why won't Sharpton and Jackson apologize to three innocent guys whose repuations, academic and athletic lives they hurt so much? Why? Because they knew they screwed it up. If they were really the leaders they say they are, they would be on the first flight to Durham to apologize.
Listen, I know Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson did great things for African-Americans and the civil rights movement and in the 60s and 70s, helped make great strides for our country. Its sad though, becuase both have become not leaders who aim to unite people, instead they jump on any racial issue (ie Imus, Duke), and cause division. Its a shame that they are viewed as the leaders of african americans, when its pretty clear that 99% are not politically motivated racial extortionists who currently hinder race relations, not help them.
Thank you for listening too my rant, and i needed to get that off my chest. keep in mind that I am simply complaining about these two men and their current situation, nothing more.
Imus should be fired if for no other reason than the women of the world should be pissed that he (who is clearly digging for a ratings increase by saying these things) debased a group of them on the air, regardless of their skin color. It's a touchy feely world, replete with You Tube that instantly replays unfortunate comments over and over again that would have most likely been lost in the sauce in the near past.
Now, your comments on Sharpton/Jackson are obviously thoughtful, and to a degree I believe the two of them are clearly digging for "ratings" per se that keeps them in the public eye, but I wouldn't write them off totally as "nothing more that poilitcal extortionists who feed the fire of racial divisons". As de facto leaders, they ain't perfect, but they've done a lot to keep their issues in our society's crosshairs, and for that, they deserve some kudos. Who the hell else has done that? Barak Obama? Oprah?
does it ever, you know, get better?
i have been doing the full-time work ("real world") thing now for the past five months, and i am not happy. i love my job, but i loathe the routine. i hate feeling so tied down by something. all i do is work. 8am to 5pm. every. single. day. i basically live for the weekend, because it's the only time i can live life on my terms.
i don't know if i am just an immature asshole or if it is like this for everyone else, but i feel so stifled. my life is predictable, administered--each day identical to the last.
does it get any better? do you learn to love the routine, or is it something to which you must resign yourself?
i mean, i know the rest of my life is going to be my career, and i am happy with that... but i don't know if i can handle the same thing every day for the rest of forever.

i mean, i know the rest of my life is going to be my career, and i am happy with that... but i don't know if i can handle the same thing every day for the rest of forever.

i have been doing the full-time work ("real world") thing now for the past five months, and i am not happy. i love my job, but i loathe the routine. i hate feeling so tied down by something. all i do is work. 8am to 5pm. every. single. day. i basically live for the weekend, because it's the only time i can live life on my terms.

Being in high school, this kind of thing scares me every day. I refuse to be "boxed up" in some corporate job with no value, but most talkers I know call this the only option. I want a job that matters, not a money job, but I also want some freedom with what I do. Some people these days act like such jobs don't exist or are otherwise undesirable.
I'm a nine-to-fiver and have been for a very long time. There's not a lot you can do about it if, like me, you're too worried to not have that steady paycheck and are two away from the streets. I think I would have a heart attack if I had to rely on freelance work or the like, but that's just the way I'm made. I've worked in firms that made me feel horrible and worthless and while I made pretty damn good money and spent money like it was growing on trees, I was miserable, felt like a small person and finally grew some huevos and left. I've since found the same kind of job (legal secretary) with a firm that is sooo great and has a conscience and is civically (sp?) minded and responsible toward its employees, and while the pay is somewhat less I'm much, much happier. I think the secret is to not get complacent or afraid, and always keep your options open. You never know what might happen around the corner and change is usually, if not always, for the better!!
i'm a 7:30-3:30 (and sometimes many more hours) worker. being a teacher rules my face but it can be so hard. however, i try to keep it fun on the weekends and do something fun on sunday so it doesn't seem like that dark, depressing day before monday. one thing i've learned is to take care of myself during the hardest crunch times. i indulge in things like massages and pedicures. they make me feel better, i have the extra money to spend now, and it's something to look forward to in MY BORING LIFE.
thanks for the kind words, y'all.
i guess the "real" world doesn't get any better. i guess that, instead of bemoaning the fact that i'm not really freaking rich, i'm just gonna have to get out there and... uh... do stuff. and things. and whatnot.
i'm 97.6% sure i am going to be really successful. maybe this is just the beginning for me?
i do need a vacation, though. bad.

AMEN sister. I'm to the point that I get 5+ weeks vacation. And do you think I use it? Nope. Who the hell needs 5 weeks vacation? Money isn't everything but you can somewhat buy your own misery. I hate not taking time off but I'm the type that I HAVE to have something to do. I'm not the sit on the beach sipping frosty beverages type. Shit my last vaca was my kitchen remodel. I guess long story short (too late) is it is what you make it.
Current Complaint:
I hate Imus, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Anna Nicole, Howard K Stern and most of the really crappy current pop culture here in American. If I was an outside looking into the US I'd say to myself, what the fuck.

No. Sorry. Working is losing. Particularly if you're doing it for a company that doesn't add anything to the greater good of humankind.
A lot of the guys on here do worthwhile, valuable jobs that make a difference to people's lives, but they're the minority of today's general working population.
As the Godfathers put it: Birth, School, Work, Death.
I deal with it by doing the best I can when at work, spending time with the people I love, and travelling to new places. Oh, and listening to music, particularly the Jacket. 8-)

Now multiply your five months into say...20 years or so, and you'll feel like you've got a three story building around your neck. But you do it-so you and your fam (if you choose to have one) can have a good life. I too get around four or five weeks of vacation a year but find I use the time in little spurts-baby sick or something like that, never like a two week jaunt off to the coast like I did back in the day...
Funny thing about the weekends when you're unemployed. They don't mean quite so much. 'Cept you get to hang out with your workin' friends.
so... stay in college for the rest of my life and/or marry someone with a trust fund?
plan formed. ;)

all right, now.
meg, no, your life will not always be like this.
your life is going to change a LOT over the course of the next 60+ years.
you know (or approximately know) how old i am, and currently i have the first 9-5 job i've ever had. ever.
now, i don't have kids, so that makes things different. i have a cat, and she's pretty independent.
i thought i knew what i wanted to do when i was 14. when i was 28 i realized that it wasn't what i wanted to do. i actually probably realized that when i was a lot younger but couldn't admit it because it's hard to change your mind when you've thought a certain way a long time.
but i did. and then i thought i found the thing i wanted to do. but that was only because i was good at it. it involved a lot of spreadsheets.
and i hated it. so i left it. and then one day i realized that the thing i REALLY wanted to do was there the whole time but i hadn't seen it before. so i changed course again.
in my lifetime i've changed courses a lot. the first was the hardest. and now, because i know that no matter what happens, i'll be all right (ie i have a way of making things work out), i feel less pressure.
we have to do the things we want to do (again, disclaimer, having children or spouses, i assume, is a little different) or else what are we doing?
all i'm saying is that there's periods where things are hard, there's periods where things are weird, there's periods where things are awesome, there's periods where things are REALLY BORING. the one thing (i've found so far) is that change never stops.
and. no matter what anybody tells you, you don't have to do anything you don't want to do. (if you're single and without babies.) i have yet to find a good enough reason to make a person stay in an environment that they don't want to.
so basically, don't worry. do this until you can't stand it and then do something else. :)

Wouldn't you think in this digital day and age they could deny the payout based on my direction?! Anyhow now I wait until the money leaves my account and then file the "official" claim. Hoo boy this sucks

I am indeed. Man, I LOVE that album.
The Lamb Of God tour was announced a few months ago. I'm not a fan & thought nothing of it but when The Sword got added last week I was
royally pissed.
This is only the 2nd time that we've decided to go away for the weekend in our 3 years together, what are the chances of The Sword being in my city on that one night?!!
These things are sent to try us...at least I have my health ;)
Hopefully they'll get a good reaction & come back again soon...

or i could go to school, take notes, hand in homework that is way over due, puke, listen, and pretend to be interested for six hours.
moral dilemma number one.
i guess i'll just see what i feel like in the morning.
blech.
My advice is to go to the park! ;)
hope you get to feeling better, face. did you skip school today? i wish i could "skip" work.

Just not good at sitting still for too long and it's lonely when no one wants to hang out because of your germs.

Thanks for the advice. Decided to embrace Western medicine. I'm actually on steroids (prednisone) now. I'm not carrying on with this topic to be a narcissistic hypochondriac, but more for anyone else here who gets a cold and then can't shake the cough. I guess it's like a reactive airway/asthmatic thing that can develop, and a short course of catabolic roids can really calm it down. So far, so good.

Meg, you seem like a really good person, I wish I knew you anyways, so let's have none of that talk, ok? Current complaint: dogs. AGAIN. They eat anything you leave laying around, make a mess, chew up my (expensive) shoes, and then get sick and go to the bathroom in the house. Everywhere. In the living room, the stairway, the bathroom, on the bed...Then I go to let one outside today, in sandals, and he gets off his leash and runs away. I had to chase him for like a half hour, while it was pouring and there were tornado alarms going off. Luckily someone in a car comes along and helps me find him, because there was no way I was going to catch him, AND we probably never would've gotten him back because his name tag came off when he broke off the leash. So good thing I got him back or I would've been the one in the "doghouse" (terrible pun intended) for letting him get off the leash, since he's my gf's dog. Ok, I'm done...I still love the little turds. Off to a bachelor party to drink some of these

My little complaint is...I have been having great hair days everyday for the last couple of weeks. Now normally that would be a joy not a complaint, but I had planned on cutting my extremely long hair (and donating it to locks of love) because I was tired of dealing with it. Long hair can really be annoying sometimes, especially heading into hot summer weather. Now I can't commit to a cut because it has been so pretty and easy to deal with lately and I'm feeling guilty because my hair would be going to a good cause, and instead it's still attached to my indecisive head.
Never getting to set out lunch money again.

I was chewed out for 45 minutes today for actually doing my fucking job and god forbid I make people follow the rules (fuck you large shitty store chain based out of a a southern state that was home for a recent Democratic prez, fuck you you self centered ass fucks, we are not in business just for you and only you). I am now seriously contemplating cancelling my 2 week vaction because things are so bad, because I pissed off people for making them follow the rules and questioning why they are always giving me the wrong info, that I may not be let back. Things are going to be so bad when I am gone that it seriously is not even worth me leaving now. I have been looking for the last 2 hours at various companies to apply at. I found 1 that had a job that would be perfect but it will involve me relocating to Memphis if I get it. I'd be cool with that, but the fam isn't. I seriously am so pissed and stressed that I actually had to stop on the way home and get a blood pressure reading...and it wasn't good. Don't fucking ask me to make things happen and improve shit and help the comapny save money, then fucking tell me not to for certain accounts and to basically let them do what the hell they want.
Now excuse me while I seriously go have a fucking melt down.

Sorry to be mopey but it would have been my mother's birthday today, and my Dad's on Wednesday. We always had a big joint celebration.
They died ten years ago. I wonder if I'll ever get over it. I wonder if anyone ever does.

Sorry to hear you're feeling low Susan. Try your best to remember the good times and focus on the positive. If that doesn't work then get the photos out & have a good cry, we all need that from time to time.
Wishing you all the best at this difficult time.

Sorry to hear that, Doc.
I'm not sure you ever "get over" losing a loved one, nor that it would be normal to do so. Some people seem to try and continue as if the person never existed, which seems very strange if they played a big part in your life.
I believe it's fine to miss them, and that by thinking of them (and even talking to them) you do honour to their memory and a little piece of them stays alive within you. I find myself thinking of my grandmother at the oddest times, although now it tends to bring a smile rather than sadness...
Thanks lads :)
It helps to share and to have comeone listen.
I do think of them with a smile most of the time, but it took years to be able to do that. They were such good people - and good parents. I hope to be half as good a parent as they were. And they laughed a lot. I think that's what I remember most.
But you're right, Mark, sometimes a good old cry is in order.
You too, Andrew, it does honour them to remember.
Going to ring my sisters soon. That always starts off sad but we always end up laughing :D

UPDATE
Today wasn't as bad as it could have been today, but it wasn't very good either. Veeeeeeeery uncomfortable. Lots of looks, comments, etc. sigh...I really hate it there. When I get back from vaca, I'm sending out resumes. I already found several companies here in St Louis and several abroad. The local would be more ideal however the abroad would make me happier.
Tracy- Thanks a bunch. I still have questions for you about Nashville. I will deal with it when I get back though. I'm shutting myself off from the world starting tomorrow night. My wife and I just need a break from everything.
I am so annoyed with my neighbors right now. Friday morning My house got egged and I was late for work because I had to clean it up. Then today about the same time I got the flaming bag-o-shit on my front porch. I called the police and it happened to another neighbor as well so I guess it's not just me they're picking on but I'm sick of it. I can't be late for work every morning. The last day of school is tomorrow, I don't know what to expect now. :'( I hope they don't aggrivate me all summer long, I really can't afford to move.

Wow, that's so terrible Bug! The police can't do anything?
I have no idea who it is doing it. I live in a trailer park and there are a ton of kids it could be any of them. I really hate to be the type of adult who doesn't like kids but right now all I can think is how much I'd like to be able to beat the damn daylights out of them. I'm going to sneak out my back door in the morning with the camera about 7am, they seem to stop in about 10 minutes after. I guess they are walking on the way to the bus stop. I don't know how to determine who's doing it other than actually seeing them.
Oh my God bug that's awful. Do you have a residents' committee or anything? I don't like the thought of you out taking pictures of them on your own.
Some people are disgusting >:(

Well I'm glad you're taking your vacation mj - you need it.
Workplace stress is a major cause of illness and you're on the road to dealing with yours and that's great. Good luck with the jobhunting and have a great holiday.
Just FYI, no vandals this morning. I got up early and got dressed, then hid in my car with a camera to take pictures of them but they never showed. They did however set off firecrackers in a garbage can last night which resulted in a firetruck coming down the street to put that mess out. I hope that since this was the last day of school they are done, I really don't want to have this crap to deal with all summer.

You need three things.
1) Sprinkler (The twirly kind)
2) Motion Detector
3) Electric valve for the hose.
haha! sounds like some kind of "Home Alone" contraption
I did hear from my Aunt this morning that there was a kid in another trailer park down the road who had a HAND GRENADE and he pulled the pin on it. So they evacuated that neighborhood. I did hear sirens but I didn't know where they were going. I think I just need to look at buying some land and moving my trailer or maybe just move to a retirement community.
I can't think of a single place near my parents where I can afford to live that doesn't have problems with kids, Bullitt County is over run by stupid teenagers right now. It's like all the jerks who moved out there because they wanted to raise thier kids in the country have let the little bastards go ferral and now they're terrorizing the whole damn county.

The Norton AntiVirus on this PC at work is a defective piece of shit that refuses to LiveUpdate no matter what I do. I am not a techy, I am a graphics guy, but I barely know how to restart this fucking thing... I am not going to waste anymore time or patience trying to figure out how to repair someone else's defective product on someone else's defective computer.
I can't cash any checks from work, so I've got three weeks of paychecks magneted to the fridge and it's worth is the equivalent of Confederate Dollars. No wonder I'm so fucking pissed about wasting time with a defective product on a crappy computer... I feel like I'm doing it for free.
Low sales with my art. I'm either too insecure, or too humble to promote my work (it depends on the circumstances). I've had some people offer to sell my work, but I feel like all they see is a chance to make some pocket change and that bothers me. I'd rather represent myself and make nothing, than to have rep's that are moving art, but only to take financial chunks out of my ass. I realize I'm being unrealistic in my approach, thinking that I can get by like this, but the transition to commercializing my work has been very difficult.
I haven't seen MMJ in forever, and haven't even the slightest clue when I might be able to. I know there's a lot of people in the same boat as me, on this one!
I haven't seen my girlfriend in 5 weeks, and she was supposed to be coming home to me tonight, but plans got canned for the fourth consecutive weekend.
Okay, that's enough bitching from me.

Don't worry Brad, just keep on doing what you are doing! :)
By the way people, I bought the Mural. It's beautiful! Nice work Brad.
Glad you like it!
And just think, if anything tragic were to happen to me, the print would probably triple in value. I'm a klutz, people, tragedy is bound strike me down any day, now - so buy your prints before it's too late!

My 2 cats are shedding heaps of fur. I wake up every morning with a mouthful of it. It is everywhere! Is it mean to shave them?
QuoteIt is everywhere! Is it mean to shave them?
I don't think so. I have Robocat shaved twice a year because her fur gets matted so much. She looks really stupid for a few weeks, then she looks (and feels I'm sure) great.
Hot Buttered Lightning!
Yeah I'm thinkin about shaving my boy Maceo, he sheds like a mofo. My friend Brian shaves his kitty. I don't think it's mean, and they'd keep cooler in these summer months. 8-)
QuoteHot Buttered Lightning!
You know it! Might not be so bad if she didn't like to sleep on my face.
Thanks for the reassurance guys. I take my role of kitty mommy very seriously.
Someone broke into my car last night, and I only just found out when I went to go out this evening. Passenger window smashed, glass everywhere. They only took my sunglasses, but probably caused $500 worth of damage doing it. Nice job, wankers. >:(

Yup, it's a real downer.
I'm now waiting to see whether or not the police want to come and have a look. I can't move it, or clean it up, or get the glass replaced until they tell me what they want to do. And the car is just sitting on the street. Unusually for the UK, though, it isn't raining, so at least I don't have water damage to worry about.

Sorry bout that, Face...geometry's a weird one. Due to our strange inverted high school, we have geometry before algebra 2. Somehow I managed to do extremely well (I have one of the strangest brains in the universe, as you know well by now ::)), but I can see how anyone can have a hard time with that. Not to mention that if my school and parents didn't care, I'd be in the same situation. ;)

My complaint: Nothing's really happening this summer. I really should enjoy it, since it's going to be my last summer without a job, but...it's killing me that I'm really not making any kind of a difference. And I'm not doing anything exciting either. I realize that I should be enjoying my time to relax, but for some reason I'm not.

I fear algebra 2. My brain will certainly get lost along the way of the long problems, and I will certainly lose my mind in the middle of every test. I've had a taste of algebra 2, and I feel like I'm holding an armful of grenades that will explode if I drop them, which I do. Not to mention I take forever to do the problems.
I'm still trying to wrap my mind around how much next year will suck. :(
Society sucks. No tolerence for creative minds, you must go through the machine!You must think like everyone else! YOU MUST BE PRODUCTIVE!!!!

Update to the update. I have been on vacation since June 5th and I have received over 25 calls from my "backup" from work. 22 of them while I was in Florida. I am seriously afraid to know what would happed if I just up and quit..... Look for a nice really long rant next week when I actually go back. Should be brutal as I am not checking my voice mail and work email until then. They bitch and complain that I never take time off and work when I do, now they are complaining that I am off for 2 weeks.
i sucked so much at math i never even made it to algebra. fuck math!@#$
I also suck at math. In fact, I could have had my degree 3 semesters ago if I could only pass that fucking math and chemistry (chemistry = math, basically).

Good night! What is wrong with them calling you on your vacation?! That's awful. I bitch and moan a lot about not making enough money, but I'm thankful that I don't have a job of such importance that my vacations are interupted. I guess turning off the phone for two weeks wouldn't have been an option :-/

I bitch and moan a lot about not making enough money, but I'm thankful that I don't have a job of such importance that my vacations are interupted. I guess turning off the phone for two weeks wouldn't have been an option :-/
Sadly no. I am so ready for a change which unfortunatly means new company and I am literly stuck where I am at as no one, NO ONE, wants my job and I have been told that am stuck. Also, we are changing over systems and we will be locked in for at least another 2 years. I cannot do this shit for another 2 years (that would be 5 years total arrrrrrrgh). Thanksfully the resume is now up to date and I am sending it out.
so i can't go to the Black Keys concert, its official. in order to go, have to join Camel Cigarettes mailing list, and give them a bunch of my info. i just don't wanna support Camel, and get set junk mail about cigarettes...i don't even smoke. i thought the BK's would be better than that. >:( although, i'm sure the show is sold out.
you can't even smoke in Minneapolis anyways!!
ir eally do apologize for all the complaints recently. they'er all stress induced, ultimately meaning they'll cease on monday.
but onea my best friends just broke up with his long distance girlfriend after like a year and she startedt alking to me. i don't know her, at all, and i've never once met her, but i do know her from him. but she started talking to me and like complaining to me and grilling me all about him and stuff. and now i think he's upset with me for talkign to her, but i'm not even TALKING to her! i'm listenign, sure, but it's not like we're plotting against him! and i think she's sort of usign this to her benefit - a sort of "if i can't have him then neither can she" sort of thing. i've inadvertantly gotten myself into one of the shittiest situations, all by being nice. i don't know what to doooooooo and i don't think he's talking to me for now and it's so so so awful. and i just feel like all my relationships are deteriorating and i can't do anything about it. ugh.
and he's away at college with all his new friends and i think he might be using it to get away and i'ts not faiiiiiiiiiiir college is so stupid if it means leaving your old life behind. asdjgaklseb

If he's a real true friend, you'll never lose him. You're going to lose a lot of "Friends" along the way. Sometimes relationships run their course, even if you don't want them to. I've just recently come to accept that, actually.
Although I don't mind spending time alone I'm getting very tired of being alone all the time. It would be nice to have some company sometime. I was supposed to meet someone today who completely blew me off. I called an hour before we were supposed to meet to make sure I was going to the right place, left a voice mail and have never heard back. :-[ It's mostly annoying because I was pestered for my phone number and once he got that he pestered me for a date and then he stands me up?

this is the hardest thing to accept.
i already lost a friend that i loved. i really loved him and now he's gone forever. i don't want this to happen again. it isn't fair. all my relationships are deteriorating and i don't know what to do.

I hardly talk to any of the people i houng out with when i was 15. You'll meet new people and get over it.
The good thing about it is I have a handful of great friends, and I know who they are. I have the best friends you could ask for. When I was younger, I thought everyone I socialized with in school was a good friend, and that will never be the case. You'll figure out soon enough who your real friends are.
well i knowwwwwww. and i'm realizing that, and there are certain people who i socialize with and consider "friends" who i know are nothing but "fillers". and that sounds terrible, to some degree, but it's the truth. but there are certain friends who i look at and know that a relationship will go beyond high school, and i feel quite confident about it. and he fell into that category, actually. but what do i know. life is just so silly sometimes. :-/

oh bug, i'm sorry. boys can be so dang stupid sometimes. well, at least you know from the get go that he's kind of lame, instead of finding out months later after you fell in love with him! ;)
my complaint is that a whole bunch of things went wrong today.
but i'm really trying to let it all go and still be good within it.
i'm sure the bottle of wine i'm about to drink will help. ;)
Wine makes EVERYTHING better! I had a bottle of blackberry the night I made that post ;)
I had about 10 things go wrong at work today 25 minutes before I was supposed to leave. I finally got things wrapped and out of there about 45 minutes later. Then I went to Ear Xtacy hoping to get a White Stripes 7inch and a poster but they were out of 7 inches and wouldn't let me have a poster because I didn't buy a White Stripes CD or Album :( I already had the CD because I did a preorder thingy to get a free 7 inch picture disc. I still bought some CD's but I was kind of pissed off. I probably spend $100 a month there, they couldn't give me 1 poster?
the dumbass woman at the plasma center missed my vein, then she had other people come over to try to fix the problem which only included shoving the needle farther in to my arm. then they decided to try the left arm (which i never use because of the shitty veins in that arm) and it hurt like a motherfucker when they put the needle in. i still got the money even though i couldn't donate, but i would have rather donated because it never hurts as much as my arms do now. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

What money? Do you get paid for giving blood?
You get paid for giving plasma, it's a bit different than giving blood. Those places are always near colleges, have you noticed that?
I'm sick of shitty screws that strip instead of just screwing in. >:(

Here (the UK) you don't get paid for donating anything but semen (well not you or me, bug, obviously).
You can get paid to take part in medical research trials, and I believe they target students.
I knew some people who got paid to have their stomachs pumped. I wouldn't have my stomach pumped for a gold pig :P
QuoteI'm sick of shitty screws ...
;D Yeah, those shitty screws are awful.
QuoteYou get paid for giving plasma, it's a bit different than giving blood. Those places are always near colleges, have you noticed that?
yeah, the one i go to is in a college town, and they are always sooooooo busy. the machine they use separates the plasma and the blood is returned back in to your vein. it's pretty not bad when they know what the fuck they're doing. i guess pretty much everyone has experienced what happened to me today, and they say it does happen but not very often at all. trials and tribulations i guess....

That's interesting. Here you just give the whole blood and they separate it later for different recipients. Hope your arm's better soon ratsprayer.
So, my boss knows I'm leaving this morning... so what does he do? Loads me down with a bunch of heavy labor kind of shit. So, here I am throwing huge stacks of paper around, trying to frame and package a framed piece of art, all of this, knowing full well he's erased the settings that I put on our air conditioning so that it won't cut on until it's 78 degrees... The downstairs air doesn't even work, so I'm getting drafted air from upstairs (yeah, right)... it's 83 degrees, now.
I'm just pissed off. I don't want to work myself to the point where I'm sweating my balls off 10 minutes before vacation...
#@$&*! :( I can't find my fantabulous pirate-wench costume that I was gonna wear to the airport tomorrow morning to pick up my boyfriend! I had it all planned out to wear it and carry a sign that says: AAAAaaarrrrrr-on! (Get it? his name is Aaron and I'm a pirate.....) Oh, it would have been great. Grrr, I hate that I moved into this tiny little apartment and all my stuff is crammed into so many corners and storage units that it's virtually impossible to find anything. I should give up being such a pack rat.
At least I know where my camping gear is. Not that I'm using RIGHT NOW! Grrr again.
Oh, and while I'm busy complaining about stupid things, I'll throw in the little fact that I think my new Sirius antenna is throwing monkey wrenches into my internet connection and causing "cannot find server" errors. I'm furious. Oh, Jim Beam my friend, you'll make things right again won't you? >:(
Sooooooooooo hot here. I cannot sleep in the heat either. :(
ugh, I hate hangovers. Now I remember why I gave up drinking beer. I'm a hurtin man today. I also remember why I quite smokin also. working out tomorrow is reaaaaaaly gonna suck.
I went out last night and a random guy in a crowd stopped me to talk to me. In the course of our brief conversation he slammed me three times. He told me that I was boring, too nice and too sweet because I was in the teaching profession. I was weird because I played Ultimate Frisbee in college, and that I was lame because I have a guitar that I don't really know how to play yet. Pissed me off!!!

Wow, how long did you talk to him? Did he just come out with all that in 5 minutes? I hope you didn't waste too much time on him.

lack of airconditioning.
heat index of 100. 100% humidity. temps in mid nineties. i like it hot, believe me, but all three together are making me melt! why don't I have air conditioning???
Asking myself the same thing. My boss won't have the air fixed, downstairs, so I'm in 80+ trying to frame a bunch of prints. Lame.
Speakings of framing prints... after waiting 2 months for the green light to order glass for two prints, I've managed to break both pieces in one fell swoop. I'm not hurt, but I'm very pissed off.
Our office equipment and department website SUCKS AZZZZZ!
Last week both our color printer and our black and white printer were screwing up. Today our copier is giving me grief. All I needed to do was make 3 copies of a 94 page document, I can't staple them because it only has the capacity to staple 30 pages. This is a document that I copy every week and it's usually about 70 pages so it's always an ordeal to get it done but usually I can just split it up into 3 sections and then clamp the sections together when it's done. Today, because it was so big I decided just to make the copies and then clamp them together with a binder clip. It didn't coallate :'( It printed out 3 copies of page 1, 3 copies of page 2 and so on. so I had to sort it all out manually ... 94 pages. I hate that we have this expensive piece of equipment and it doesn't meet our needs.
Now I get to work on posting updated computer room diagrams to our department website. Can I just open the document make an update and save it? Nope. I have to save the updates, go to a second page and delete all the documents that need to be updated one at a time. Then go to a third page and re-post all the documents that were updated, again, one at a time. It's INSANE. I work in an office with 30 managers and supervisors, 90% of which have multiple degrees including Web site design and this is the best we can do. It would be easier to print all the shit out and maintain a binder.

the good news is, in five weeks, this wont matter and i'll be a lot better any where they put me.

i'm going to bed because i have to be up early. and i know that's not exactly a complaint since most of you are working people, but i'm on VACATION (which ultimately implies NOT going to mini college for over a month)

Ouch. :( Why do people do this? You'd think parents would take better care of their kids...reading this post makes me feel thankful for having parents that actually care about me. Best of wishes, Face.
My complaint: I've grown a lot in the past year, and I suddenly realize how cold and materialistic this world has come to be. I'm really starting to feel detached from people who actually care about other people and the world at large. Why can't people set down their money, property, etc. for people who need it? Why do rich Americans feel a need to grab every penny they can get? Plenty of people I know are nice enough, but really don't realize how bad their habits actually are.
I honestly haven't met another person my age (with the obvious exception of Face) who really seems to care... :-/
they care too much is the probem.
Somewhat. They care about themselves and their families, but don't look outside the little box that they live in. They don't see things other than the way they want to see them, which is why they gasp at headlines of horrible things happening to people. Sure it's terrible, but don't they recognize that these sort of things happen all the time? And they want to succeed so badly that they step all over other people who are just trying to make a living. Why? Because that's what mass culture tells them to do.
I'm not trying to be insulting. I just feel that people don't understand, or, more importantly, aren't trying to.
sometimes you can love people and also want to tell them to grow the FUCK UP.
woooooo that felt good. :)
i just wanted to be clear that i wasn't referring to anything in this thread. just to make sure. and be perfectly sure about it. :)
lazy people.
seriously. i know i have bad posture, not so good looks, blah blah blah, but i'm a damn hard worker. i hate staying at work 30 minutes later because other people don't put forth any effort.

I heard from my mother about half an hour ago, turns out not to be as serious as everyone first thought. Seems to be the same thing that hospitalized her last time, so that's a relief, but still not good ya know?!
Pleased to learn that it wasn't too serious, that's good news.

Hard to do that when in the last 2 days I've been in 7 hours worth of meetings. In addtion to that, my replacement's 2 "previous" bosses are telling her she needs to work her old role for half a day and keep part of her old job after taking the new job. I....am.....so.....fucked. If she has to do this, it will take me WEEKS to get her trained instead of a week. DAMMIT not how I wanted to start. And my new boss is piased (thankfully not at me as she knows my concerns).
Why do I always buy the 'hot' salsa? Every time I can feel the heartburn when I put in my shopping cart, but I always buy it. BECAUSE it's sooo good that's why.

I've been worried about you db. How are things where you are?
Just sent you a PM Doc :)
friends are stupid sometimes. it seems silly to put so much into an old friendship in hopes of rekindling whatever there used to be when the other party seems completely distracted. i mean, this obviously isn't a real friendship if he doesn't care, right? then why the fuck do i try so hard to keep it? and how was it so right when he was home? how could i even think that our relationship would last? and how can college change so much of what you used to be? and how does he not know he's KILLING me with his idleness? how can someone be that insensitive to someone who was (supposedly) so important? i don't get it, and i don't think i ever will to be honest.

people who are assholes. ya. i hate assholes.
today's examples: first - dude didn't like his coffee - french roast. i gave him another. then another brew - sumatran. he was still not happy. then he yelled at me that our coffee tastes like crap (which it does not). i don't like to get yelled at cause his life sucks and i happen to work at a coffee shop. it is not my fault that he is an asshole and probably has a shitty life. just cause i work in coffee does not make me an idiot and i don't deserve to get yelled at. second - another dude comes in doesn't order anything, sits for 2 hours (while singing opera...what?), and brings in his own food and drinks. i asked him if we could get anything for him and he said no, he sings in the opera and needs to practice. i told him he could stay as long as he liked, but he would have to purchase something. he walked out. both of these idiots come in all the time and are never happy. maybe they should go to starbucks instead of where i work.
upside - I made $16 in tips. most customers are really nice.

summer, the heat. It was 95 in Nashville today. Just hot. Cannot believe I spent 5 summers in the south (3 in Mississippi/2 in Nashville) without AC in car. People talk about seasonal affect disorder in the winter b/c of lack of sunlight. I get cranky and depressed b/c of stifling heat. I really love fall and everything associated with it.

QuoteQuoteJust got word from my mother (who's out of town for the weekend) that my grandmother was just rushed to the hospital via ambulance. She had a two week stay in the hospital about two or three months ago, and hasn't quite been back to normal since.

coffee shop irritation of the day:
a little girl barfed right outside the door at 6AM and i had to clean it up. YUCK!!!
Thanks you all...She was supposed to be out today but had a bad night so she won't be out now until at least Monday. :-/ She was doing really good the past couple days, but last night was not good at all I guess.
sorry to hear shes still in the hospital but sometimes I think they send people home to soon anyway, so maybe it's a good thing that she was there when she had the bad night. I hope she gets well soon and comes home :)

Positive thoughts from England, Red.
This has actually been a complaint for a while now....but for some reason i feel like posting about it now. It's a long one, so stay with me.
It all started about 6 months ago when i first started to really talk to this girl I'd known for a while. We had a class together, and we became pretty good friends, and both of us had really similar personalities and senses of humor. We talked almost everyday for good periods of time both in class and over aim, and as time went on, we'll let's just say seeing her became the highlight of my day. I wanted to hang out with her more outside of our everyday routines and classes, but she tended to hang out more with a really good buddy of mine. I was fairly sure they were pretty close to "best friends" and that's about it. So as the school year winds up, me and the girl are getting along great, and I was starting to sense she may wan't to hang out with me a little bit more as well. Next thing I know, my buddy and her are dating.
So about two months have gone by since that happened, and I've been moving on and accepted that those two were most likely very happy. It changes however, a couple of nights ago when i'm at a friend's house with the said buddy from before. Let's just say he was much more in the mood to share his feelings later in the night *cough*, and he tells me and the few other friends that he doesn't like that hanging out with her takes away time from being with "the guys", and that the fact she doesn't like him hanging out with the guys all the time pisses him off. I'm sitting there, the only one who wasn't really ummm "messed up" at the time, just thinking, I would so much rather be hanging out and laughing with her than a bunch of guys every night. I guess time will tell how things end up. A buddy who I told this whole tale to said we we're a bit like jim and pam from the office...but who knows, things have a way of ending up right in the end right?
time to cue up "by my car".....

I can't post to "post random image here". I keep freezing up every time I visit. :(
I have to work tomorrow and it's supposed to be beatiful, but no, I'll be stuck inside on a Saturday.
>:(
I decided to have my yardsale tomorrow and I put up signs for it. Now I really don't want to do it but I kind of have to. I hope I make bunch of money.
It was so hot here today that I couldn't even lay outside for half an hour without being covered in sweat. The same thing happened while laying in my room trying to read. I took a 2 hour nap this evening and woke up feeling like I'd be in a sauna all day. I just know I won't be able to get much sleep since it's so hot in the house.
And back to work tomorrow, ugh!
i take it no AC? i lived that way for the first three years of school...i'll never go back. right now at my apartment, a very comfortable 68 degree!
Quotei take it no AC? i lived that way for the first three years of school...i'll never go back. right now at my apartment, a very comfortable 68 degree!
No AC is right! I've never had it once in my life, thankfully a few of my friends do. This giant fan to my left will have to suffice.
Once again it is f'n sweltering here. It reached +40 Celsius, which is unreal here. I know it might not be that warm where some of you are, but when you consider that in the winter here -45 Celsius is not uncommon, that's quite the difference.
I felt bad for the pretty cashier at the grocery store this evening; I could totally smell the foulness of myself haha.

And to go along with that, GPS systems for cars. It's not hard to mapquest something before you go to it. Don't know whay, I just find both really pointless and kinda lazy. Just my opinion.

At our slow-pitch game tonight I slid into third (safe until I went past the bag - too much speed!) and cut up my right knee/leg pretty good. It didn't quit bleeding for a good 20 minutes.
AND...to top it all off I now have a blister on my left heel which has proceeded to split apart and bleed.
As of about 5 minutes ago I now walk like a hunch back with pigeon-toe. >:(

Won our first game and then were rained out on the second. And by rain I mean we got 2 innings in and then pitch black clouds unleashed hail and insane rain. It was amazing.
We were trailing by 3, and will resume tomorrow, but I won't be able to make it because of work. It was a pretty good year, glad I joined up.

you're telling me that you can't fit in a couple of innings into your busy work schedule. when i say "busy work schedule", i mean: on the internet, listening to music, and looking at chicks at the bank ;)
trivial, perhaps. but all the same; i don't wnat to go to berklee tomorrow. i'm exhausted. but tomorrow is thursday. i'm thinking about skipping some of my classes, but the biggest problem is that the class that i can't physically quit ('cos i'll legitimately fail) is at 915 tomorrow morning... which means i have to get up ANYWAYS to go to that stupid stupid theory lecture. gaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh. i cannot wait for saturday.

ugh i just had an interaction on the train with the biggest random bitch in the entire universe. i left my cell phone at home and needed to call my mom to let her know taht i was gonna be okay for dinner blah blah blah because she's leaving the country and whatever. so i was on the train and i was searching and searching and i just couldn't find the phone! so i asked this woman, probably 27 or so years old, who looked like a (relatively) nice person if i she had a phone i could borrow. and she looked at me like an idiot! so i thought she didnt' understand, because it seemed like a completely reasonable request to me... so i repeated my self and made a phone handgesture and whatever and she responded
"uh -- yeah, i know what you're talking about... *scoff*..." and i said
"okay, so can i borrow it you think for a second?"
"uh - y'know there are pay phones at every stop...*scoff again!*"
and then turned away!~
and i just looked at her, completely befuddled. i don't get it. what a bitch! i would've let her use MY phone! so i stared at her and she ignored my threatening scowl for the remainder of her train trip. UGH. it just makes me lose respect for humanity. and it put me in a terrible mood. i don't know why, but it just set me off. the worst thing was that everyoen around me saw this interaction adn didn't even OFFER to let me borrow theirs! i mean, i donno. i'm not trying to hold myself in such a pedastol by any means. it just seems crazy that no one would help someone else out.
the best part, though, was when she was getting off they only opened the front door so she was waiting at the back one and she almost missed getting off. and while she was running to the front door i was muttering "Miss it miss it miss it". i actually got quite a few dirty looks for doing that, but she deserved it.
if i ever see her again i'm punching her in the teeth.
:-/
I really love doing 2 jobs at once. I just hav such a hard on for it. I love working 12+ hours every day and not seeing my kids and my wife.....actually I'm so touched by working the extra hours that I do not really miss mi familia..
Please note the HEAVY tones of sarcasm. I have been trying to transition to my new role for 2+ weeks now. My replacement just is not getting it. She is not technically smart on spreadsheets and any of the software we hae to use. She works at such a slow pace that I can take a brick of lead and by the time she's done doing stuff, it will have molecularly altered itself into gold (the time span for mother nature to do this is a reaaaaaaalllly long time). I do not know how much more I can take this. It's making regret taking this promotion if I have to put up with this fucking shit.
I can't take the summer heat. Toronto is blistering hot right now and it's humid as hell to boot. My apartment temp is 100, which is cooler than it is outside.

i'm so depressed.
what the fuck am i supposed to do?
first off, face, i would have totally given you my phone, so don't lose hope in random human kindness (that lady sounds like she had a pole stuck somewhere ;))
But I am so bummed. My best friend (and former roomate) just lost her dog on Monday morning. Orion was an amazing dog (and my dog's "wife"...no joke). She lived to 10 years, which is amazing for a great dane. but...well, I come from a group of people with no kids...and our dogs are our kids. I was out of town when it happened and unavailable for a hug. I got to see my best friend tonight and my dog Junior was so confused when his "wife" (trust me on this...these 2 dogs knew each other for 8 years of their life and while she was fixed, he isn't and he claimed her as his love)...back to the post, well my dog is starting to understand as of tonight that he will never have Orion back. So I am spillin' one for my dog friend Orion. The sweetest dog in the world.

It's just part of life. You should be happy for your brother, college is a major step in life. You can still talk to him on the phone or whatever and visit him anyway. Cheer up! :)
103 degree heat at 3:00 in the afternoon :-/ and the humidity :-/ make oklahoma summers just awful.
hey everybody, will you keep my big sister in your thoughts? she went to the hospital today b/c she felt bad, and she found out she has several huge gall stones and kidney stones. she has to have two surgeries in the next week, and i am worried about her b/c she has complications with anesthesia. and she is a mom of four. i just hope she is going to be ok!

My complaint: I'm indoors all the time right now, and the air conditioning is making me sick. I don't care that it's hot outside, I'd rather be there than in the artificial indoor space-filler they call air.
thanks for the kind thoughts, folks. the big is better, and i will be visiting her friday.
:)
hope she has a speedy recovery meg!!
clothes shopping is a joy, but now i'm so poooooor. AU$20 (US$16) to last til next thursday :(
so now i'm very swanky in my new threads (looking slightly goth-corporate today..hehe) but so broke....
Quitting smoking today!!! (also posted in the current joys thread - can't decide)
I quit back in March & stayed smoke free for 4 months - then ran into a bunch o' illness (in medical terminology) & picked it up again (with the help of the free carton's of American Spirits at the Forecastle Fest.
Smoked on my break this morning & just decided - fuck it! I quit!
Goin cold turkey - with the help of some cough drops (thanks aMD) & some flavored toothpicks (thanks to my gf)
maybe a quitting smoking thread?
you can do it, you just want to. but if your medical shit starts going down again, i might think about picking it up again.
cough drops work and they're a lot cheaper than nicotine gum or the patch. i also used sunflower seeds when i quit.

stick it out. I was up to a pack and a half when I quit a while back. One of the hardest things I ever did was quit smoking, however, it's also has been the most rewarding. It will be hard, but it's "very simple"; just don't light up.
good luck!
the small barking, yipping, little dog that just moved upstairs from me. it wouldn't be so bad, but they also have a giant dog. so they run and play with bones on hard wood floors. yep. it is really loud. i probably wouldn't mind so much if I wasn't trying to sleep. boo hoo. :-/
my roommate has a girl over which is 8-)
but he told me to turn my music down, actually he came over and turned it down himself. which didn't fly (i turned it back up, i had KOL playing). he screams, shouts, and yells when he plays video games. i wake at least (no joke) twice a night because of it, and i don't say shit. i play once and a while, and i play music. i don't have it loud, maybe a little loud, but nothing like screaming at the top of my lungs.

funny enough that our one rule is, if there is going to be humping....play music. i guess my music ruined the moment. but i'm pretty sure that the humping was done before i got home. because they were all sleepy ;D
QuoteLiving in Philly for the past year, my first complaints were about all the murders and fires....but lately, it's been al these rich Main Line fuckers having to tell me all about "going to the shore."

"Oh, I need that book today. I'm going to the shore tomorrow!"
"I didn't know the coupon expired last week, I was at the shore."
Fuck off!
is it true they have plastic palm trees there...if so I think I'm gonna puke

Tooth-ache!!!! >:(
I'm just about ready to tear the whole bottom right row of my teeth out.
I'm restless. I'm glad that I work hard and stow up what little money I make, but I haven't got anything to come home to. It isn't easy having my fiance live a million miles away due to circumstances I can't control or even remotely change, especially when the future I want with her is one of the few things I'm really certain about. I'm just tired of working for peanuts, inhaling hazardous fumes all day for the sake of Sports Art, then coming home and being tired and grumpy. It's not an everyday thing, but its frequent enough that it's bothering me at 3 a.m.
At least I'm not in Iraq.
yeah, brad, why do you have to live 2 million miles away? ;)
i have a pretty serious complaint right now:
a dog ate my glasses.
seriously. the lenses are so scratched i can barely see out of them. not only do i have to come up with money i don't have for more car repairs, but now i have to come up with five hundred goddamn dollars because my vision insurance doesn't start until NEXT YEAR.
what. the. fuck. i am beginning to think i was a major asshole in a past life.
Satellite TV...The other night I missed most of the Cubs game because of a storm, tonight I was watching Letterman waiting for the Steve Earle performance, and it cuts out right before he goes on, and of course, cuts back in right as Dave is doing his congrats...ugh, it's just really pissing me off right now, between missing shows and not having DVR...

good lord... speaking as a fellow glasses-wearer, i feel your pain. why are they so vital but so EXPENSIVE?? you're totally screwed if something happens to them (i had a little freak-out on the plane to bangkok last year as i put my specs on my lap to have a sleep, then they were gone when i woke up. being quite blind, i had a little panic cos a. i couldn't find them cos i couldn't SEE the stupid things and b. i'd only just left the country on a 4 week solo holiday to see the world, only to have the potentially ultimate irony foisted on me of being able to see shit-all without my glasses.... life is cruel sometimes. disaster avoided though, when i found them on the floor. thank god i didn't step on them with my hiking boots is all i can say)
so yes, i feel your pain meg, but there's no way you were a major asshole in a past life... not possible! you are lovely. and brad is lovely. and hang in there, it'll all sort itself out

my best friend moved out yesterday... and is moving to sweden on saturday. we haven't done the big goodbye yet, but its going to be hard. and teary. we've been best friends for 17 years, she is like my sister, and i'm going to miss her so much

My complain is rather trivial, the new Maroon 5 single, which gets lots of airplay lately. Good God, it's awful. That song rubs me the wrong way, kinda like My Humps used to do :P

I had an absolutely terrible weekend. It seems everywhere I turned things around me were crumbling; work, family, relationships, etc. and like a fool I stayed home alone all weekend and left myself to my own devices. Not a good idea, I tend to overthink and make things worse. I sure hope this week goes better, can't get much worse as far as I can see.

start the week off with a positive jam! :D
just set your intent, then bob and weave.
class starts today...damn it!! i really would like to take a year off, but i pretty much did that the first two years.
not only has my brother left, but now every single one of my friends is leaving within the next three or four days.
and my parents are making me go on vacation with them for memorial day weekend. but htis is the last weekend all of us will be together. and it's such an inoppurtune time to take a "vacation". i dont' know how to talk to them rationally. i'm very reactionary and i'm afraid things are not going to end up in my favor. i hate this. i wish my friends could just stay.
Sorry to hear that, face. I know it sucks big time when friends and family go away -- try to think about the good times. Use the time with your parents well, as you get older, you appreciate them in ways that you never thought you would. It may just keep your mind of things as well. Bring some Jacket with you too.
stupid customers.
flash flooding. rain. rain. rain. rain.
being tired.
lack of cash.
hmm. i thought i needed to complain, but that doesn't really sound that bad, now does it? i actually feel better. time for a beer. ;)
Over-18 shows. Do they assume everyone under 18 listens to Radio Disney or some Clear Channel station?

Nothing like a Father/Son bond! (you all know I can attest to that) We are both lucky in that it is such an important part of our life. Keep in touch through "spirit" if that makes any sense in knowing that your relationship far surpasses any physical limitations that may be imposed. (that is what is keeping me going right now) :)
Some jerk-off vandal lit the burning man way before his time. 85% destroyed but they are currently repairing it for Saturday night's big burn.
Trying to cut back on my coffee consumption. I realized there was a problem as I have gone through a 3 lb bag of beans in 2 weeks, and I'm the only one drinking it. :o
I have not had a cup in 3 days. No headaches as I am drinking some tea instead. Nice strong English Breakfast and Earl Grey. Getting just enough caffeine to prevent the buzzsaw in my head however I FEEL FUCKING ALTERED. I seriously feel like I'm drunk, stumbling around. I just feel plain weird. :-/

Good luck with that. I haven't had coffee in over three years and I don't miss it a bit. I've got enough stuff to get addicted to, I don't need to screw around with coffee! That's my theory anyway.
Question: why isn't coffee considered a gateway drug to meth?
My current complaint: I can't get caught up with my sleep. Therefore, I can't get myself motivated this morning, so I'm posting on the forum rather than doing any of the 25 things I need to do for school right now. Thank goodness for Labor Day Weekend!
i may have to have my tonsils taken out.
has anyone had this done? advice?
Quotei may have to have my tonsils taken out.

does that really keep you from getting sick, or at least make it less often? i know it helps my aunt get strep less, but other than that, i've heard it usually doesn't make a difference. they don't have any other options?

mine have stayed enlarged from being sick before. i mean, i'm healthy. it's just that my tonsils are so big i have problems eating/breathing.
Quotei may have to have my tonsils taken out.

I've heard the later in life you have it done the worse it is. I got mine removed when I was four, which is good because I barely remember it and it wasn't as awful as it will be for you(sorry). however, there is a possibility that they will grow back. :(
my sister had hers removed when she was 16 and she was laid out for a week.
i know it will prob suck big time. i'm crossing my fingers that there is something else they can do to shrink them.

QuoteQuestion: why isn't coffee considered a gateway drug to meth?
Very astute point. I felt like a raging meth head about 9 AM when the coffee fully kicked in. oiy. I think I like the effects of tea better, more subtle. Now if only the altered feeling would go away. At least until I can get some of this in me this weekend.

any mac users here? my imac was stuck on the Front Row menu screen. The controller worked only when i put a dvd on, so i know the battery wasn't dead in the remote. i could only navigate through the dvd menu and it would not leave Front Row. I tried everything and finally had the idea to unplug the mac witch brings me here now.
3 hours sleep - bad
very large strong coffee - makes slightly better
until i crash out spectacularly about 3pm this afternoon....
you know what pisses me off? well i'll tell yah... going grocery shopping, and having to buy the so called "necessities" (towel paper, paper towels, deorderant, shampoo, etc) you pay over 90 dollars, and you come home thinking where's the food? Orange Juice...7 dollars. i swear, all i have is bread, ham, some yogurt, and two cans of generic spaghetti o's.

My job sucks!!! It is been one year since I hired on here. We haven't had steady work to do in about 5 months. Then they tell me I dont work fast enough. If I work fast, I run out of work for the week in a couple hours. If I work slow, I run out of work in a couple days. Either way I run out of work, then the bullshit busy work really starts. I can't take it anymore. It makes me feel like I made a big mistake to quit my job (that I hated) in Indy to move to the 'ville to work a job I hate more.
This job is driving me crazy. I'm in a 7' x 7' cube - can't talk to anyone (it is frowned upon) - can't listen to music - not supposed to have my cell inside the building. I know how the factory farm chickens feel. Just stay inside your box until your are requested. They want me, seriously, to sit in dead silence (boss says it is less distracting) for 8 hours per day. I come in early or stay late, any more than 5 minutes, I get in trouble.
Anyone round here need a graphic designer? Maybe anyone in the 'ville know someone who does? I can also do 3D modeling and animation. I'm ready and willing to go.

Hey no problem on the name - Doors reference - Lizard King (interesting though that it allows me to remain in the realm of anonimity (sp?)
I don't wanna leave the ville, just this job. And believe me, I've been looking - trying to keep up with sending at least 6 resumes per day. Hopefully something pans out soon. Not only that, but I told my boss I've been learning some new programs, not really lying, but I when I'm through, my personal site & resume will be awesome.

Its really hard to remain or be positive when the day consists of what not to do. I feel like every day I sit here is one more day between me and any good design job. Its a stagnant depressing scene. I'm sure it could be a lot worse as well. It just sucks right now.

Thanks man, I really appreciate it. I guess sometimes everyone just needs a little pick me up
I've always been a NOW kinda guy. Patience is a virtue, yes, but can it ever be a bitch.
I just need to keep my head on straight & keep my goals in mind. Sometimes just sitting there and watching the clock tick on another (i hate to say it, but) wasted day, it starts to feel like the perverbial "chinese water torture". Very small and slight, but it builds to an overwhelming feeling.
"Dont let it bring you down, its only castles burning..."

i also think i need a new job. i have been taking a break from "professional" (ya, know...what i went to college for) shit and have been working at a coffee shop. sounds great. kinda is. no money, but easy and get to hang out with some cool people and drink coffee all day. except (here it comes), i work with a few people who take themselves and everything so seriously. they talk about each other behind each others backs. they share all about their personal lives and a few of them don't like me at all. i think it is because i don't want to hear it and i don't talk trash. if i have an issue with someone or about something, i talk to the person who is part of it. not everyone else. i refuse to get involved in shit like that. it is just non productive behavior. on top of all that bull, since i am not challenged at work, i am getting kinda bored. i live in a college town and all these people are going back to school. i miss school. college was so great. i loved taking classes. unfortunately, i don't really want to go to grad school. no idea what i'd go into. don't know what i want to do with the rest of my life. i think i am being a bit hard on myself, but ya know, i thought i'd have it figured out by now. i guess not. i am going to be moving away as soon as my husband finishes grad school (most likely in january). don't know where we will go. probably east coast or west coast...where ever he gets a job. at this point, i've been waiting for him to graduate for like 8 years. let's fricking go. i don't want to get a new job and then just quit. so i'll hang. i'll serve espressos. i'll smile and nod.
i also have a love/hate relationship with the indian buffet. my stomach hurts.
also, my kickball game will most likely be canceled due to rain. today is kinda pissing me off.
thanks for listening folks. i needed that. i think the forum and myspace keep me from needing therapy. thanks for a place to get these rans/thoughts out. [smiley=dankk2.gif]
i hope things get better for you soon, beth. i am also wishing that i were back at college. i miss being able to do whatever i wanted whenever i felt like it.

The White Stripes cancelling their appearance at ACL and their after show at Stubbs. I sincerely hope the medical issue is not life or musically threatening to the band (and whoever is afflicted). But man, the craziness that me and my friends went through to secure 11 of us at that show....sucks!
I never expected to see Amy Winehouse, so when she cancelled, not too heart broken. But the White Stripes at Stubb's was to be a highlight of the weekend.
Thank god MMJ is still going to play (should I knock on wood?)......
I know this is a minor complaint compared to many listed above...but man, what a let down >:(

Columbia Gas broke the water line. Its fixed now, I got my shower with slightly brown water.
still no sound card. my computer room is so silent. i don't know how to make the sound come out. something about the sound card being on the mother board and something is fucked up. i don't know. it sounds hard to fix. my husband is way to busy to fix it. i am going to make him an awesome dinner and then beg him to make the sound work. i can't deal with no tunes on the computer. i guess i'm going to have to listen to my mp3 player while making dinner. that sucks.

I had a good move earlier this year but a few years ago had a bad move.
Current complaint: the people I work with. >:(
head hurts.
had a rough saturday.
after i got done with work, i headed down to meet friends near the stadium after the wisconsin game.
first, some drunk girl (pedestrian) ran into me while i was riding my bike. i fell off and slammed my head into the ground. thank goodness for helmets.
then, some fucknut tried to steal a bike in broad daylight near the stadium. i told him i'd call the cops if he took the bike. he takes bike. i call cops. random bike thief decided to punch my bro in the face a few times. then me. luckily, although my bro could have literally beaten him into a pulp, he choose to wait for police. after being arrested, dumbass continues to threaten us and resist arrest. too bad for him that he will now be charged with battery, attempted theft, and resisting arrest rather than attempted theft and disorderly conduct. what a fucking idiot. what is wrong with people. i don't want to go anywhere near that damn stadium during the football games. people just act like assholes.
my head still hurts. sorry about all the swearing.

Wow, that is rough! Sorry your head hurts! But you know, what goes around, comes around, and maybe somebody in the slammer made him his girlfriend for the weekend. ;D
I'm sick of hearing comments like "i love this band" and "this could well be my fav album of the year" from people who steal all of their music from the internet.
QuoteI'm sick of hearing comments like "i love this band" and "this could well be my fav album of the year" from people who steal all of their music from the internet.
YES. At least help out the little man that's trying to make a living doing this kinda thing. I only download free music when the band gives permission. Give the guys some credit for their work!
My complaint: We have 50 pages worth of complaints. :(
tomorrow i'm getting a physical. so i'll be getting my balls checked by some random dude. thats not gay is it? (not that there's anything wrong with that) but the real issue is, after its all said and done, i'm just another patient to him.
Maybe you will be lucky enough to get the prostate exam. ;)

My complaint: We have 50 pages worth of complaints. :(
True. I've thought about this but a lot of this consists of messages of support so I guess that's not so bad. Plus we have 61 pages of current joys :)

Good man! Few can actually see that side of it and try to power through a day at work. I hate hearing people sneeze and wipe their nose on their hands and then grab the coffee pot and such.
Bravo to you and hope you feel better, maybe you're sick due to dropping the coffee habit...

Fuck!
I cover High school football games for the paper here on weekends...after the game as I'm phoning in the score, someone stole my briefcase with all my shit in it.
My jacket, my digital voice recorder, all my important papers.
Fuck.
Gone forever.
I don't get paid enough for this shit.
that sucks man. hopefully it turns up.
I'll beat the holy FUCK out of them for ya'! I need a good workout anyhow.......
It's cool.
As long as I get the Creedence tapes back.
Stand to tie a heat record today dating back to 1891! 34 days so far this year over 90.
home sick, I hate missing mondays! sinus pressure and the sweats are no fun
Pardon my French, but my f*cking tooth is absolutely killing me. I've been taking the prescription I was given for 2 weeks, and am on the cancellation list to get my root canal asap, but today was the absolute worst day of pain I've ever experienced. Just terrible. It's nearly 11 and I've already been asleep for 5 hours, normally I wouldn't even hit the bed for an hour or two yet, but it's all I can manage to do. I've taken so many painkillers today, even busted out the Tylenol 3's and I'm still ready to tear this thing out of my mouth myself.
:-[
Ouch!!! No point in saying get well soon, hope you get the operation ASAP.
i have to have some bullshit test done at the hospital this morning. it is supposed to take a long time. also, it haven't been able to eat or drink anything since last night (prep for test). i am really fucking thirsty right now, too. damn. >:(

Getting out of bed to hear my lady up and at 'em at 5 am sicker than a dog. Her legs have these little bites on 'em & she keeps getting more. I've got a couple, but luckily thats it.
Talked to my folks (they live over 100 miles away) same shit at their house - my dads doc said mites (or scabies - yuck!) Talk to my neighrbor - his family (300miles away) - same shit
We're some freakin OCD clean freaks at home - as is my momma, I can't figure it out. This sucks!!! Everything ahs been cleaned top to bottom 3 times this week - burnt bug repellant inside last night (it really sets the mood with dinner :) )

Sorry to hear that Meg. Didn't your sister have something similar?
QuoteSorry to hear that Meg. Didn't your sister have something similar?
yep. like, almost a month ago. the nurse who set me up with the surgeon was like "how are you at work and moving around?" apparently i am tough. anyway. i am pretty nervous. i hate surgeries. but the doctor gave me some medicine and told me to stay "as comfortable as possible." which i am right now.
I'm supposed to be going to a Spicy contest at this Thai restaurant at 4:30. They didn't give out many more details other than us overhearing the chef say "how am I going to torture them this year". YIPES! I'm in it to win it!! But, I don't think my boss is going to let me leave early. :'(

are you creating the spicy dishes or are you tasting them? being a food critic is like my dream job.
Oh, eating them. I like to cook too, but I'm not too experienced with cooking Thai. However, I am VERY experienced with eating it!!!

Makes up for everything! ;D
I've got 2 complaints:
1. Why do some people insist on needing logic and reason for every single thing they do in their lives? It really miffs me when people can't take "It feels right" for an answer.
2. I really try not to feel bad ever. I don't get why people feel bad in the first place. If a load of bull is going on, why make yourself feel miserable? You have control over it. But everyone insists on trying to make me feel bad about every little thing that goes wrong. I try to just laugh at it, but then someone comes along and tries to make me feel bad so much that it just gets me pissed at the person and I don't feel good anymore. Seriously, what's up with that?

You know what? You think you're on top of life and a day like today comes along and cuts you down to the smallest size possible.
Without a doubt, the absolute worst I've had in years. First, I learn of my mother's uncle's passing. The man died as lonely bachelor, didn't even have a closet of possessions, his most cherished being his bulletin board of family pictures. Basically my fear in life realized by one man's death. I was so distraught, that I didn't even react. To me, it felt like my fears killed my great uncle by some strange account.
Then this afternoon my boss belittles me while I'm in my office with a customer. I confront him and say thanks, that made me feel wonderful and how professional it was of him. He shrugs his shoulders and says "well". I walked out minutes later absolutely shaking with rage. I'm now touching up my resume and scouring the local job market. I'm going back tomorrow, but I'm laying my cards on the table and saying that in my position in life right now, I just don't need that. If that means quiting, or being fired, I don't care. Something I have to do.
Shortly after I arrive home, the long-distance 'relationship' I've been nurturing for the past 4 months basically dissolves on account of me (and to a lesser extent, her) making things too complicated. Something I both expected and feared to hear every day since June 4th.
I just don't know what to think. Mere days ago I was riding higher than ever, thinking I had the master plan under my finger. But alas, I should have known better. That being said, I feel a weird calm at my core. Like the realization that today is the starting of a new (and hopefully brighter) chapter in my life. :)
Sorry guys, had to unload...:-/ :-[
Whoa...feelin ya K--I've been through that long distance thing myself and now have the philosphy that "No good can come of it"--trying to tend something as intense as a personal, intimate relationship over the phone or pc or letters is waaaaaaay to hard. Here's hoping tomorrow is 180 degrees from today...
Shit K, that really is too bad.
Sorry to hear about your mum's uncle, that's a real shame.
The job situation? that sucks! is there no one higher up you can go to?
As for your relationship I really feel for you. I've tried a couple of long distance relationships but they rarely work.
Let me throw a couple of cliches at you that are actually pretty true 1) you're still young 2) there are plenty more fish in the sea & C) time is a healer ;)
Try not to let things get on top of you, here's hoping things pick up real soon (& don't forget - you got tickets to see BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN!!!)
Sorry K. Here's to tomorrow, which is really all that matters.
Up late again. This really has to stop. :(

Oh, so I gave my two week notice today only to be told to pack up my desk. Best possible outcome. I'm not usually proud of myself, but I absolutely danced around my boss with my wordplay and the dumbstruck look on his face was priceless. His only reaction, was to overreact, of course. I shook my co-workers hands, hugged my wonderful 'partner' Veronica, and walked out a champion. With two new pens of course. ;D

Probably a good thing that you got out of there early - I just took out a hit on the wanker.
The police will be asking questions, things could get messy.

Ya know, I feel you on many levels there. Right now I would love to turn around & walk & never look back. Dont beat yourself up over it. Work sucks - thats why they pay you for it - its the system that forces me into working that really chaps my ass.
Like it says in Whiskey in the Jar "the devil's in the women & they never can be easy" Men & women are inherently different creatures. They cannot ever really understand each other - at best they learn to live with each other, and some of those better than others.
As far as the long distance thing - man you can second guess that shit til your blue in the face & get into a total mind fuck over it, but I heard some great words of advice - "the grass may not be greener on the other side, but it could be another shade of green thats just as nice" maybe you'll find any consolation in that - I know its been in my mind since I heard it. Relationships suck too - necessary evil if you ask me. I did the long distance & moved to be with her - now I can tell you this: if you never spent time in close proximity to her (lived in the same town or same living space) - there's a shit load about each other that you don't know - trust me.
I find myself kind of looking in envy at you great uncle - no strings, no complications. I've been looking to streamline & take a couple steps back on my life. Possessions are way overrated - its what you do with them that counts.
I'm in a spot right now where nothing seems to fit. I've got my life going, but I can see the friggin hamster wheel encasing me. I running & running and getting nowhere. It sucks. Granted, not everything is as bad as it seems & most all of it is how you look at it.
I need a vacation.

No need to worry Meg but good luck anyway :)
Quotei had a biliary scan this morning, and it turns out my gallbladder is not working anymore. it has to be taken out asap. :(
When I was a little kid (a looooong time ago) my mom had her gallbladder taken out. It was a huge deal then (I believe Nixon was President!). I think she was in the hospital for 2 or 3 days. I remember afterward, she had the little balls themselves in this tiny little ziplock and she would show them to me and it was really gross - those balls were living in her jewerly box for ages! ewww. But what was worse than that was when she would lift her shirt and try to freak me out by making me touch her scar - which was (and is) about 4 inches long and super creepy. She would chase me around the house and say "touch it, touch it!". Of course, I was horrified. Don't get me wrong, she did it with love. It's kind of a nice memory now. Truly.
My point, I guess, is that medicine has come a looooong long way since then, Meg. You've got nothing to worry about. Just start plotting how you're going to freak out your little Happy Ewoks! (Although I'm sure you won't have much of a scar at all!). Best wishes are floating your way... :)
So I'm out for my morning walk (aka wheezing & seeing spots after 1 block run) - and it dawns on me. When was the last time I smiled? Not at something funny, not in reaction to someone or something, but just felt like the world needed to see my smile. Right then I felt it & I gotta say it felt damn good. It surprised the shit out of me to tell you the truth.
This year, & the last really, has been quite an eye opening experience. I'm 26, got a job that pays good (its boring as shit & micromanaged, but thats another story), a comfortable place to live, a good girl by my side, but I feel like I've been stuck in this funk for quite some time. Like a wheel thats out of balance - sure it rolls, but somethings not quite right.
Its like I have no energy. Point blank - I dont have that push to keep me going through my day. Maybe its my lifestyle, maybe diet, maybe mind, maybe all of the above. Then again - my entire world & everything that kept me grounded is gone or has changed. My bestest bud (my cat of 17years - old boy) passed on this summer. I never went away to school, stayed in town graduated, got a job - then finally moved out of the parents digs in '05 - moved out of state to be with my girl in 06. A lot has changed in my life. I guess the inner recesses of my mind just haven't quite adjusted to all of it yet.
The good news is I'm working on a plan to get out of that funk. The uncertainty of change has always been a big stickler for me (well that, & the preverbial fulfilling my parents expectations of me, for what thats worth). Its been my goal this year to force myself to try new things & to look at the world through different eyes. I've always been a perfectionist & that is something that has held me back because without the grounding of what I'm perfecting, I'm cultivating a nice OCD experience.
Anyway - I felt I needed to really ramble about my day & world. I started typing with a heavy hand. I've gotta say right now I can feel the corners of my mouth creeping up into a smile & I like that. I appreciate that thin veil of anonomity that the net provides. Thanks for letting me get some shit off my chest.

Near record heat with a low of 70 degrees today! Come on fall, get it on!
I needed to catch a train, but apparently they weren't riding this weekend due to maintenance works.
So I took the bus back home in a fairly pissed-off mood, I sit down, someone gets smacked in the face right in front my eyes. Had to wait 'till the cops arrived, before the bus took off again.
I officially hate public transport and oh yeah, most people are uncivilised fucking assholes.
Think this was my first post in the current complaints thread. Thanks for listening.

Just checked this myself and on page two, I'm complaining about that version of "One" with Mary J. Blige. Well, that was a long time ago at least.
I hate when I have something that needs to be done around the house and it seems like the whole place has to be turned upside down in order to get it finished. I got some new bedroom furniture and it looks like a bunch of monkeys had a party here.
October 8th with a low of 72 and a high of 90! :(

If only Bush had signed the Kyoto Protocol...
Just got the official "we dont want you" email from the place I was interviewing. I love it when you call & send emails & call some more & send hand made postcards (kickass I might add) & call some more & no one will talk to you.
If you hired someone else - fucking tell me - it is way less annoying & much more respectable to just tell me when I called the first time. The random email 10 minutes after I call is bullshit.
Oh well - fuck 'em. I'll take my talents elsewhere
my wife's in the hospital. It's kinda of scary because they don't know what's wrong with her and her symptoms are getting worse. She's asleep right now and no one's been in to check on her in over an hour. I hate this. sorry, i just needed to talk about it or something. i hate hospitals. usually nothing can scare or worry me but seeing my wife in the hospital is too much.
edit: a nurse came in and said that we'll be lucky to see a doctor before lunch, she's been here since last night. it may be time to turn my fear into anger.
Very sorry to hear that aMD.
My wife was in a similar situation earlier this year (she has a condition that brings her out in a rash, usually it's nothing too serious but once or twice it's been life threatening)
Not knowing is the worst. I remember being so fucking angry with the doctors.
Hope she gets better real soon.
Keep us informed, stay strong & keep it together best you can (& when you can't we're all here for you!)
All the best AMD, I hope things work out as good as they can.
Thanks guys, that means a lot.
hope everything is ok, dylan.
thanks meg, i'm still playing the waiting game at this point...

Oh, so I gave my two week notice today only to be told to pack up my desk. Best possible outcome. I'm not usually proud of myself, but I absolutely danced around my boss with my wordplay and the dumbstruck look on his face was priceless. His only reaction, was to overreact, of course. I shook my co-workers hands, hugged my wonderful 'partner' Veronica, and walked out a champion. With two new pens of course. ;D

Thanks - it gets to be a little annoying - agencies want agency experience - how am I going to get agency experience if they only hire people with agency experience? The job hunt sucks - everyone is super cool with you, but they are secretly picking you apart bit by bit.
Oh well, I keep thinking about getting back into the sign business & getting my hands dirty again & sure enough - I've got a little meeting with a sign company coming up - keeping my fingers crossed.

thanks everybody for your support. she's getting a bunch of tests done and they seem to have a good idea of what it is. Hopefully it'll just be one more day in the hospital and then we'll at least know what's wrong. thanks again everybody, you all rock!

She looks a lot better today and should be out of the hospital tomorrow. We're still waiting on a few results but it looks like whatever it is will at least be manageable and definitely not terminal. Thanks for all your support. I just showed my wife your posts and she was really moved by your kindness. She said, "there really are some great people on that forum". I'd have to agree. :)

Hopefully you can both relax and have an enjoyable weekend.
OH MY GOD I AM SO MAD RIGHT NOW >:(
i am beyond using punctuation i am so pissed
it turns out over half of the people i work with are going to some conference next week (they did not tell me until TODAY) and not only do i have to cancel all MY plans for that weekend, i am supposed to work for everyone else for a week.
I don't read this thread that often so I'm just reading about your wife, Dylan. Looks like she's on the upswing of whatever it is that's making her sick. That's great news. Keep us informed.
My current complaint is those goddamned spiral "stakes" that come with inflatable yard decorations. Those are a pain in the ass. After 15 minutes of fucking with them, I said "to hell with it" and went to Home Depot to buy some galvanized steel stakes that I could pound in the fucking ground. I finished assembling the thing in about 3 minutes after I bought those.
I also thought ahead and bought 2 extra sets for the inflatable Christmas decorations that we'll be putting up in a couple of months.
:( Hope Candace is feeling better soon!
My girlfriend's "second mom" (good friends with her real mom) had a seizure the other night in her sleep. They found out that she has several brain tumors. On the positive side, they originated as brain tumors and did not spread from somewhere else. They are going to do a biopsy to see if they are malignant. Please send thoughts and prayers her way. Her name is Pat. Thanks guys!
Oh, BTW I really f#$#@!^ hate cancer! We should all just stop fighting each other and spend all of our time and money helping one another. I heard from someone here at work that someone has found a cancer causing gene and figured out how to "turn it off"...anyone else heard of this? I'll see if I can find a link. Of course even if this is true, I'm sure it'll be 20 years before it's approved. Wow am I a downer today!

i'm a pizza delivery driver. ok. so i got a delivery to a bad part of town. so right away, i was a little scared. I was leaving the place, and some nugget-heads start blocking the exit outta the trailer park. i go around them and go through the entrance. thanking god i got outta there.
i returned to work, only to find out that one of assholes called in and wanted me to call him back and apologize. so i did. then he called back from another ladys house, making me apologize to her. so i did. then he called the cops.
we no longer deliver there anymore.
QuoteSo I'm out for my morning walk (aka wheezing & seeing spots after 1 block run) - and it dawns on me. When was the last time I smiled? Not at something funny, not in reaction to someone or something, but just felt like the world needed to see my smile. Right then I felt it & I gotta say it felt damn good. It surprised the shit out of me to tell you the truth.
This year, & the last really, has been quite an eye opening experience. I'm 26, got a job that pays good (its boring as shit & micromanaged, but thats another story), a comfortable place to live, a good girl by my side, but I feel like I've been stuck in this funk for quite some time. Like a wheel thats out of balance - sure it rolls, but somethings not quite right.
Its like I have no energy. Point blank - I dont have that push to keep me going through my day. Maybe its my lifestyle, maybe diet, maybe mind, maybe all of the above. Then again - my entire world & everything that kept me grounded is gone or has changed. My bestest bud (my cat of 17years - old boy) passed on this summer. I never went away to school, stayed in town graduated, got a job - then finally moved out of the parents digs in '05 - moved out of state to be with my girl in 06. A lot has changed in my life. I guess the inner recesses of my mind just haven't quite adjusted to all of it yet.
The good news is I'm working on a plan to get out of that funk. The uncertainty of change has always been a big stickler for me (well that, & the preverbial fulfilling my parents expectations of me, for what thats worth). Its been my goal this year to force myself to try new things & to look at the world through different eyes. I've always been a perfectionist & that is something that has held me back because without the grounding of what I'm perfecting, I'm cultivating a nice OCD experience.
Anyway - I felt I needed to really ramble about my day & world. I started typing with a heavy hand. I've gotta say right now I can feel the corners of my mouth creeping up into a smile & I like that. I appreciate that thin veil of anonomity that the net provides. Thanks for letting me get some shit off my chest.
Its like a piece of metal, if its gets fucked up, it takes some work to get it 75% of the way back, but that last 25% takes some serious work to get back in shape.
I have live an exact opposite life from yours, yet I feel exactly alike. It ain't easy being unspectacular. My kids always kill the neagtive though. "Will you please eat your dinner?" "No, I will'nt."
so for some reason, unbeknowest to me, your post reminded me of a project i did in a program in college (quick background: I went to Evergreen State College and was in a class suite based on Human Behavior and Biology). The first month of the class, we did an experiment to test the "Observer Effect"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observer_effect
The premise is that by the nature of observing "something", that "something" inherently changes. To test the principle, we each choose one thing in our lives to observe. We were encouraged to focus on a part of our life that we wanted to directly change. I chose to observe my cigarette smoking and simply recorded every smoke I had in a day (I carried a tiny notebook with me and put dashes down for each smoke). Needless to say, by just observing how often I smoked, I significantly decreased my smoking by ten-fold.
One of my teachers chose to observe how often he said something positive. And by recording how often he did this, he found that his life was more pleasant and that he was a nicer and happier person by sincerely noticing positive things in life.
So I guess my point in this story is that you should try your attempt at experimenting with the Observer Effect, cuz' it works. Keep track of those smiles and I can guarantee that they will naturally happen more often.............
]The observer effect works great. I was just about to comment on how powerful it is to just simply change your focus a bit.
I went back home this weekend. It was like a flashback from 4 years ago. Being around some of my old friends and aquantences & in that environment as just what I needed - that and another interview for a new job. It brought to light a couple things that I was overlooking (overlooking the obvious it seems).
I've been stuck in a rut job wise, which has inevitably bled into my home life over the course of things. I've let myself get a little passive in pursuing my goals & some of those goals mean I must confront situations that aren't always comfortable to me or they aren't instant answers. I have so many interests and goals and wants that it becomes overwhelming. One of my biggest problems is that I want it all now. Another, especially work related, is a lingering fear of failure, or I'll take so much time to think something through, I will have great trouble implementing the idea.
In a random conversation with my girlfriend the other day, she said something about "being an end product guy rather than a process guy" For some reason, it hit me. Thats it - I've never taken the time to really focus on and absorb and enjoy the process (art, life, etc, etc). Change your focus change your world. I know what I want - now figure out how to get there - and enjoy the trip.
I can't quite get my mind thinking about typing so much today, I'll just summarize by saying I appreciate everyone's input. I appreciate being able to post my random ramblings. Cause damn, I sure can ramble sometimes.
You seemed to enjoy the process of life at Jacketfest! :)
QuoteYou seemed to enjoy the process of life at Jacketfest! :)
Yeah! Had a blast - been talking to aMD a bit about next year
Its a matter of getting myself out of a funk & sometimes its easier than others. Sometimes it takes a little more to find out why you're in the funk to begin with. But I'm getting there, day by day - its all good :)
Sometimes my body just itches with restlessness. It's 12:18am & tonight is one of those nights...
QuoteSometimes my body just itches with restlessness. It's 12:18am & tonight is one of those nights...
Sounds like restless leg syndrome--"Talk to your doctor about Requip" ;) Dude I feel you, I had a spell about 12 years ago when, smoe nights, I would lay in bed and my legs felt like they wanted to run away. I had to literally get up and go for a walk to wear them out so I could sleep (albeit much later to bed than I had wished..)
i am having serious issues with focusing lately. it is not my becoming apathetic/ dissatisfied with my job, but rather my being far too easily distracted by trivial shit.
and i don't know what the deal is. if i see a stack of papers somewhere around the office, i feel compelled to straighten them. then i set them down and see that they aren't straight enough, so i have to do it like five more times.
i cannot go anywhere or do anything until i know that all the dollar bills in my wallet are facing in the same direction, right-side-up, and in ascending in value from front to rear.
if i see things that are out of order, it seriously bothers me: like, to the point of having a panic attack. example: i have this pen holder/cup thing on my desk. if all the pens are not facing the same direction and leaning at the same angle, i feel as if nothing can be accomplished until this is righted.
like, if jesus came down from heaven right now and was all, "yo bitches this is the rapture; get your shit together," i would probably ask jesus if he could hold up for about 2 minutes while i straighented up my desk.
and this bothers me. i don't want to be that person, but i am. what gives? i used to not give a damn about anything related to organization, but now i can't sleep at night unless my covers have been folded at a certain angle and i know all the pictures on the wall are level.
maybe i should drink more?

Next time you catch yourself doing something like that, make it a priority
not to straighten it up. I used to have a problem with wanting to do everything with both hands, so I just constantly reminded myself not to do it. Now I don't even notice that I don't do it anymore. It's something you grow out of.
I have been sick for 3 and a half weeks. Sore throat, sleepy, lack of focus, headachey. The first week and a half was far worse... I just kept reinfecting myself with a sore throat... So I finally went to the doctor, whom I hate. Got tested a week ago for mono and strep but was negative for both. They thought I had a staph infection in my throat, I don't even know what that means. But I just got off my ten day antibiotics, which made me feel nauseas because my body didn't' know how to react, and I'm fucking sick AGAIN. I just woke up from a three hour nap and it's 9:52 and I have school tomorrow and I'm still tired but not tired enough to sleep for the night. I can't breaaaaaaaathheeee out fo my nossssse and i can't swalllllowwwww comfortably aghhhhh
I'm sorry I come back and this is my response but goddamn i just wanna feel healthy again... :(
good to see you back face! hope you get to feeling better!
Yeah good to have you back Face, hope you're feeling better soon.
It's 2:45am & I can't sleep :(

I was wondering the same thing. I'd hate to lose her. She's got a lot of musical interests though. she'll probablybe back around whenever there' a new album and/or tour, if i had to guess.
looks like shit is about to hit the fan weather wise in the next hour, so i came back to work. if you live in the same area (southeastern us) as i do, please be safe.
WHat kind of weather ended up that way. I live in Gulf Breeze, FL and work in Pensacola where the tornadoes were yesterday. I've been through my fair share of hurricanes but never a tornado. In the last 36 hours we've had over 24 inches of rain. How is that even possible??
Spent some big bucks getting our house re-shingled and boards replaced. They finished Monday. Last night we got storms and a major branch fell on the roof that tore down our electrical line from the street. Got a pretty good dented gutter, but no roof damage (wheeew!). My neighbor, however, got a tree limb through the windshield of his truck. :(
Glad to hear nothing too major. Ya'll take er easy up there there's a lot of rain coming.
And there is no global warming..........................?
Been at the hospital for over 24 hours. Baby girl is in for pneumonia. Thought she would be able to come home tonight, but she's still running a fever and her white blood cells count is still up. Home for a bit as my wife is with her. Might not be around for a few days while we get her better.

Thanks all. My princess is home now, and is well rested. Whatever stuff they gave her in the hospital is making her punch drunk. I have a feeling its going to be a very long night.
So pleased she's well enough to come home :)
It must be a HUGE relief to have her home. Take care....... :)

Been on an antibiotic for 45 days - symptoms got better for weeks 1-3
weeks 4-6: symptoms progressively worse
I run out of meds on Friday - yippee - Restrictive diets here i come!!!! :-/
(no beer, bread, pizza, most anything bread or wheat related - WTF!?)
so my TV finally went out. i knew this day would come. it's my shitty one in my bedroom. i think i'll go to a pawn shop and get a cheap one for like 40 bones.

ipod
xbox 360
tv
phone
damn you electronics. DAMN YOU!!!!!!!!!!
mj, how is the little one? is she doing better?
...still living with my parents and still have no job.
Post-college blows.
Quotemj, how is the little one? is she doing better?
Thanks for asking. She back to her spoiled rotten little self thankfully (we made her that way mind you). She's fighting us about taking the medicine but the last xray show everything all good in her lung that had it. Thankfully she's eating better and sleeping in her own bed through the night. I was getting tired of 5 year old feet in the face of 4 AM.
this is good news! :)

i kind of hate my body. i am so over having to go to the hospital. i am sick of dealing with this bullshit. i do not want to deal with it the rest of my life, but i have to, and that pisses me off. a lot. a whole lot. i think about how it is going to affect my future, and how i can't do anything about it. it's unfair. i mean, after a while you start to think what did i ever do to deserve this? i am not a bad person. i don't do malicious things. but i guess that's just how life is though. whatever.

Sorry but this seems like a very emotional knee-jerk reaction. It says that they doing it for scientific research. I think the scientists will properly weigh the reasons for kill the whales against the possible negative effects on the species.
Plus, a whale is not a human being so your analogy is a false one. It's like that PETA video where they splice scenes of Nazi concentration camps with scenes of slain chicken. It is an absurd argument.
I think it's widely accepted, even here in Japan that the 'scientific research' tag is an excuse. The Japanese people believe that whaling is a cultural right & it has nothing to do with 'scientific research' they simply want to eat whale meat.
Little one is sick again. She was kinda sick over the weekend and she's home from school today and I'm doing a 1/2 day to stay with her. ugh. I'll be glad when she's feeling better again so we can get some sleep.

Are you calling me a "knee jerk?" The Japanese have a long and varied history of "scientific research" on a wide variety of exotic animals. And I saw that Star Trek movie with the crying whales buddy. Don't tell me that whales ain't humans!
I hope you feel better Meg :) I have been going through some things for like 4 years now...just not feeling right, headaches all the time, all kinds of weird things, so I know how you feel I think. Some days are better than others and I find it helps to just keep in the right frame of mind and not worry too much
thanks, seamus. i won't go into it at length, but i keep getting these bigass benign tumors all the time. it's like, nothing works to prevent it. as a result, i will probably never be able to have kids of my own. i have had seven surgeries for it in the past seven years. i am just tired of it. blaaaaaah.
mj, i hope the little one gets better! best wishes being sent her way.
Does anything smell worse then pizza induced kid vomit? Fuck I will be glad when these kids feel better. Little Bit is doing fine, now the boy is sick. ugh
Son's visit from MIZZOU went WAY too quickly! :'(
Crows going through my rubbish bags & spreading the contents (left over curry!) all over the driveway :P
I was reading only yesterday that crows, along with magpies and parrots, are some of the most intelligent birds on the planet. There was a murder of them watching me from the telephone wires above as I cleaned up & I swear they were laughing at me.
i don't have the internet anymore. so i have to check the forum at school. means i can't spend as much time here anymore. explains why i haven't said happy birthday to anyone. sorry to everyone. hopefully i'll be getting it back though....
also happy birthday true! again really late, but i hope it was great!
1)computer that sucks. maybe it'll work for more than a day??
1a. no money to buy new computer.
1b. no computer knowledge to fix problem.
2) I HATE THE NFL NETWORK!!!!! It is a crime against the memory of Vince Lombardi to not be able to watch the Green Bay Packers on regular old free TV. The cable companies here don't offer NFL network. Luckily there are some sports bars with satellite TV so I guess it isn't that bad.
3)my complaints are always trivial. sorry.

i don't know how it worked but in the past there was a steelers game that was scheduled for NFL Network but it was shown on a local channel anyway.
two weeks until xmas vacation and the kids are already crazy as hell. that's no good...
i did a remote this weekend for the salvation army's angel tree. i even adopted an angel myself.
i was looking at the angel tree and thinking... each one of these angels represents a child. a real child. and god, i cannot stand the thought of any child's having to do without. i know what that is like, and i wish i could keep these babies from ever having to experience that. i wish i had millions of dollars to give them all new clothes and toys and trust funds for college.
i don't get it. i mean, how can kids go to bed hungry each night while people are earning 40 million dollars a year to play basketball or make movies? sure, you get what you work for (and i am in no way calling any wealthy person selfish) and all, but.... i just wish that economic dispairity did not exist.
i breaks my heart. i do what i can to make a difference here, but... i wish i could do more.
Another job that I didn't get!!!!! :P
They interviewed me for about 2 1/2 hrs - and I couldn't even get a simple call back to tell me no go - I had to call the company's hr director to find out - but then again, I wasn't 100% sold on the company either.
Well, another one down & 2007 is a new year. Here's to keeping my fingers crossed!!!
QuoteAnother job that I didn't get!!!!! :P
at least they didn't give you the "wink and the gun". i just saw that on fresh prince last week.
good luck though.
blaaaaaaah worst day everrrrrrrr for no reason in particularrrrrrrrrrrr aggggghhhhhh :(

I could tell you stories that probably don't want to here. Here's the kid we're trying to help this year: Client of mine has custody of grandchild because mom was killed while riding a bike on a busy road in November and dad is incarcerated for many years for criminal child neglect (he was passed out with a crack pipe in his hand while he was babysitting the kid in park). It's more than just economic disparity - it's shocking neglect. If you want to meet our next generation of lost souls, I could take you to work with me in my little county and introduce you to 100's of them every week.

bad computer on off switch. stupid thing. hasn't worked in weeks.
bad work day.
bad weather (ice storm tonight - not awesome).
bad mood.
bah humbug.
Car repairs - UUUGGGGHHHH!!!!!!
Change my own oil - find a minor coolant leak - water pump lows out the next day - change that & try to change the belt while I'm at it - no fucking way....
Who ever heard of taking the motor mounts off & jacking the engine up just to change a simple belt? A 15 minute simple job on my last car is now a couple hour labor intensive painful operation ( that I haven't finished yet)
I can honestly say that I've never been so exhausted (physically, mentally, etc.) in my life. This week I'm working 60 hours between my two jobs.
I've been working outside at my 'regular' job, 9 hours a day in -25 temperature and it's just killing me. It's grueling work, but thankfully we finished today. Then I come home and have a shower, eat and head to my part-time job, which is the best job ever, but it's still time away. Factor in spending time with a lovely gal I'm 'courting', and catching up with two friends who just moved home, and I'm a mess. I'm running off two hours sleep now, and am 9 hours down, 5 to go for this workday.
It'll soon be over...
Snowed a bit overnight and most of that is gone; at least at my house. Now it's f'n snowing/sleeting/misting here again. DAMMIT. Weather please hold out until late tonight after my Xmas party is over or close to being over. We've worked like indentured servants on getting the house ready and assloads of food made. urg....

I was thinking about you. I don't think we are even going to attempt to go to my aunt's house anymore. It's not bad now but it looks like there is another 4 or 5 inches coming and colder temperatures. Stay safe. Hope it holds off for you.
If you need me to come over tommorow to just eat the leftover food, let me know. ;)

HA! Leftovers are everywhere. Yeah, the weather totally blew which means we were lucky if half the people showed up. Oh well. I think we will be moving our party to the summer.
My house sits at the beginning of Main Street in my town. There is are 2 stop signs in front of my house and it is not uncommon to see 15 people run either stop sign in a given hour. OK, so at 2 in the fucking morning I'm talking to the local Police as some drunken asshole ran the stop sign directly in front of my house, ran over the 4 foot high bush that is at the front of my yard (placed there for this very purpose by the previous owners), slammed into one of my trees, ricocheted off the tree destroying half the landscaping on that part of the yard including over a dozen concrete border pieces, peeled out through 2 sections of my yard and finally left my property after taking out a street sign that is in my backyard. The PoPo tracked this idiot down by following the carnage she left behind in other yards and the trail of car parts. They cannot charge her with drunken driving since there are no witnesses. They can only charge her with leaving the scene of an accident. I have several hundred $$'s worth of damage to my yard and Xmas lights. Judging by the amount of car parts in my yard and how far they are into the yard they were thrown, she didn't even slow down at the stop sign and had to be going at a high rate of speed.
On top of this, I have a ragging head cold and my girl is sick again.

That sucks man!!! That happened to my parents a couple years ago - when I still lived at home - I had gotten home from being out with some friends at around 2am - I hadn't been in bed for 20 minutes when this weird rumbling/crashing sound came from outisde the window. This young guy (20-21) comes up & knocks at my parents door at 2:30 in the morning asking to use a phone - He had flipped his car through a tree 2 houses down & rolled his car through our neighbors yard into ours & his car came to a rest leaning upside down on a tree in my parents yard. He called to get a ride, but he didn't want the cops to come (obviously) We're like "hey man, your car is upside down on our tree" Cops came - he went in with them (he was ok - no injuries)

Not unless you live in the sleepy town of Waterloo, IL. There are 5 bars all within a less then 1 mile radius of my house. They love to drink in this town.

I think yours trumps me my good man.
OK, the Officer stopped by again. He had pictures of Drunkie McDrunk Drunk's car. Her right front tire was completly jack-knived and folded over. I am not sure how she even drove away. The sheer mechanics of it are mind boggling. She also drove through 3 other yards and when she hit the country roads, she took out several mail boxes. jeez fucking louise. People, for any that are partying this weekend, call a cab or designate a driver. I love y'all but I don't want nonya in my front yard or front living room if you miss hitting my trees.
Does rccola not know he's had two pms in waiting for several days? Or does he just feel like not telling me? :-/
Along with the Christmas time hustle and bustle, came a very messed room. Yesterday I decided to work on cleaning the clothe covered floor, only to discover my pair of headphones snapped into tiny little pieces. I guess sometime over the past few days I stepped on them, they're now gone to the 'parts pile' since the headpiece was beyond repair.
>:(

It could have been worse - this was on our local news a couple of weeks ago:
This was the incredible scene after a car cartwheeled more than 100ft through the air before embedding itself in a first-floor flat.
John Gordon's Volvo took off after hitting a tree on a roundabout and flew until it crashed into the flats 15ft off the ground and facing backwards.
The car smashed into a lounge where 19-year-old Laura Stevens had been a few seconds earlier.

Driver died, but passengers (and apartment occupant) all OK...
I agree - if you're going to drink, either walk or get a cab.

My boss revoked my internet privileges first thing this morning when I got to work - Happy New Year!!!!
F'n piece 'o shit Compaq laptop. Motherboard is fried. Just up and quit on me. It will cost just as much to replace the damn thing as it would to just go buy a new laptop. At least the HD is fine so I can pop that out and use it in the new one which I will have to get so I'm not stuck using that god forsaken Vista.
Good thing I backed up my 90 GB's of music to an external HD before it died
This blows my money that I was saving up for my new amp. FUCKFUCKFUCK.

i hear you. my computer has some sort of power supply issue. it won't turn on consistently. so that really sucks. someday, i will have a computer that is mine that has a cover on it and doesn't have any exposed wires....ahh, daydreaming.
Wow, that relationship ended quickly. Guess that's what happens when the girl your dating isn't exactly over her last boyfriend (and still best-friend because he's got nobody else). I wasn't going to stand on board and watch the ship sink, I've got too much pride for that.
This actually probably should go in the 'Current Joys' thread.
i just got a newer car like 5 months ago...well that came to a end. i got into a accident. i was driving in a two lane-one way street. i was in the left lane, and the person in the right lane decided to take a left turn out of fucking nowhere. the person was from outta town, and didn't know that the street was a one way. i'm not sure, but it was around lunch time, and there was a KFC nearby. i'm pretty sure its totaled, but i was able to drive it to the body shop after, so hopefully that's a good sign?. i'm just hoping for the best right now....
also my good friend is leaving for seattle tomorrow. hopefully by labor day we'll be reunited...

Yikes man! I hope you're ok.
thanks everyone. i got the call from the insurance company today, it isn't totaled. $2,800 in damages though. in minnesota, there's a no fault law. but i'm still going to ask about having her pay my deductible. its worth a shot or add another $500 towards bills. [smiley=thumbdown.gif]

my current complaint is how peyton manning sucks in the playoffs. i mean, if he cant play better than that, the pats deserve to win even though them winning the super bowl this year is equivalent to barry bonds being able to keep the home run record.

And how would the Pats winning the SB be anything like Bonds' HR record?

And my other complaint is people who make comments like this:

Just answer the question about how the Pats winning the SB is like Bonds' HR record.
i have never felt quite so shitty before. so hopeless, so anxious, so down.
a lot of bullshit has been going on recently, things are falling apart and keeping me up at night. things are dumb. dumb dumb dumb right now.
i didn't sleep a wink last night. and when people say that, they usually don't mean it literally but as an exaggeration. i mean it quite literally. i got into bed at 2 AM, incredibly tired. i stayed there until 1 PM, but didn't ever get a chance to sleep. i watched the sun rise. i heard people waking up at 6. at 10. at 12. i have never felt so drained. i've been up for 40 hours. but i can't sleep 'cos i have too much work. every time i stand up i feel like i'm going to faint. plus i'm so nauseas. sometimes i just want to disappear for awhile and wait for everything to turn okay again. please. everyone pray for the snow day that's supposed to come. aghhhhhhhhh. :'(

again, just my opinion (see second complaint). and if you cant figure it out on your own then thats your problem man. my OPINION is that my team could go 16-0 if i knew what the opposing defense is running. plus it helps to have the refs on your side too. but that is just my OPINION.
as far as manning goes. yes they won the super bowl last year. good for them. but how many times to they get into the playoffs and choke? as a fan, its frustrating to watch. they also played the bears in the super bowl. i would have to say that grossman made sure the colts won last year, not that peyton didnt play well, he did. i would love to see them win 2 in a row. no need for the bickering man. just speaking my opinion.

You're saying the Pats went 16-0 b/c of "spygate", which was first game of the season against the Jets? wow. You do realize that no way in a million years would they continue to do that for the next 16 games, right?
OK. I disagree with your opinion.

This sounds just like the complaint of a Colts fan. They had their super bowl, their glory, and are just pissed as hell that the Patriots are outdoing them by setting records faster than Peyton Manning makes a new commercial. Spygate is just an easy way to put blinders on and not acknowledge the Patriots' amazing season. First of all, to think the Patriots were the only NFL team to employ that strategy is like thinking Barry Bonds is the only MLB player to ever use steroids. I mean, come on. I would say wayyy more teams did the same thing, its just that the Jets (Mangini) tipped off the NFL due to Magini's personal history with Belicheck. Plus, if Spygate did really give them such an advantage, how have they won 17 straight games?

i agree totally with you on that. i am sure that is a common tactic among a lot of nfl teams. the pats just got caught. just bitching because i am pissed that the colts lost. i will admit it. its what rival fans do. apparently though, we just cant say it outloud on the mmj forum. and its more than obvious that steroids use is a problem with a lot of baseball players. i was just raised to think that when you cheat, you should not be rewarded for it.

It is actually much harder than I thought it would be this time to see Jake go because he was home for 5 weeks not just a couple of days like at Thanksgiving. :'(
The best (only) friend from school just left yesterday for a semester at sea for four months. she's gonna have a but the next sixteen weeks are going to be... confusing. she's not allowed a cell phone, obviously no internet connection, no writing letters... plus all my other friends're going back to school after five weeks home. Man, oh man, this time of year seriously blows.
On top of that, my brother's going back too, after dropping out mid-first semester... adds to the emptiness that I'm already feeling. I guess on the upside, he's going back and that's great news for him...
Yikes.
Selfish complaints, sooooorrrrry
i don't have a cell phone, its a vibrator now. i left my cell phone in my pants that got washed. the screen is blank and it just kept buzzing, had to take the battery out for it to stop. i really don't want to spend money on a new phone! >:(

Well, then all is not lost. You could ultimatly get some serious use out of that cell phone (keep it your pillowcase).....see you in Current Joys. :) Plus, isn't about time you upgraded to the RAZZOR?

no longer vibrating, there goes that idea. i think its dead, i hear a sizzling noise when i hold it to my ear.
i can't believe that it still somewhat worked. i had a phone go down once. i used it after riding my bike. sweat got into the phone, and it starting to sizzle. then i slapped it around.
true- here's something you could do. my brother called up sprint, and told he was leaving. they gave him $150 off a new phone, and 15% off his bill every month. just for complaining and threating to leave. worth a shot..
i got a new phone today. my last phone only lasted for a few months so i had already renewed my plan. i bought the cheapest one they had for 40 bucks, no camera on it. my phone did show some signs of life after leaving it by an air vent. the buttons lit up but no picture on the screen. wouldn't let me call anyone.

Molarity of solutions. It shouln't be that hard (it's just high school chem), but when I'm as unmotivated as I am in that class and haven't been paying that much attention the last few days, I really have little clue what's going on.
How are you supposed to make a table out of one equation anyway? >:(
Ugh. I have meetings from 8AM to 5PM today. All "overview" meetings on what we will learn in later meetings. So these are meetings about later meetings. Corporate brilliance!
just fucking shoot me now.....

Thankfully one of them was cut short early buy several hours! Now I have time to goof around since someone else is doing my work today.
started the process of car shopping/buying today - Why are car salesmen such douchebags? pardon me if I happen to offend any car salesmen on here - but seriously why?
I 'm looking at a new element - the msrp is $19700 - go to the dealer - they added $1900 worht of bs on it as part of a "protection package" The seats are waterproof, the interior is vinyl/plastic - why do I need fabric protector & weatherproofing?

Thanks TEO, I had no idea. So does this card give you benefits?
My Dad truly believes you're only as young as you feel. He retired a few years ago & owns a lovely villa with a huge piece of land in Spain that he tends to every day. He & my Mum are coming out to Japan for their 3rd time in a couple of months, not something many people do as they approach 70 I shouldn't think.
5 more years? That's tough! I'm hoping to retire early on my wife's pension ;)
Any big plans for when you do retire?

*move further south for better winter weather
*attend as many music festivals as I can
*grow a ponytail
*grow
I mean "grow" spiritually of course! :)
I've got the flu & feel like absolute f**king shit :'(
Teo- You are my idol man! That is a great plan.
Shit I still have 30 years to go and I'm 35. I just don't see myself doing this shit for another 30 years. Where the hell is my lottery ticket. I'm not greedy, just a few million so I can stay home and enjoy being with my kids and wife.
Some months ago my mini-stereo died and I plopped down another $300 for a new one - which wasn't easy to do since there are hardly any on the market because all they sell are Home Theatre Systems that cost a bajillion dollars; or you can buy receivers, turntables, etc., separately and it costs a bunch more than I could afford at one go. So, now I have a stupid mini-system to which my new turntable, iPod and Sirius system are hooked up (and Sirius by the way doesn't work that well when it's raining and it rains A LOT here). What a bunch of crap. My main problem is that these stupid mini-systems don't have an EQ that you can manipulate, only preset crap. Who sets these levels anyway? They don't sound good no matter what I play. Holy cow, I don't need Xtreme bass (nor do I need the backlight to change from orange to red in order for me to understand that the Xtreme bass is turned on). What I need is to be able to hear everything at once, including the vocals...and not muddy, crapped out vocals! Sorry neighbor John, I don't mean to make the pictures on your wall shimmy. I just don't want to wear my studio headphones all the fucking time. Done.
i've had rehearsal every day for the past three months, anyhwere from as long as 3 hours to 6... now it's finally time for performing... two more shows left, but so little energy... then saturday, which is supposed to be my day off, i have the Berklee Jazz Festival at 9 AM...
aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i can't wait for sunday when everything is overrrrrrrrrr.
i guess i don't know if this is a joy or a complaint. right now it seems like a complaint. i can't do this anymoreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
i am so drained. took the day off, and now i'm missing three tests and a paper... this next week is going to be rough with make ups...
Where to begin...
I want to jump up onto my desk and kick my computer in it's non-complying face.
I've had enough of winter.
The past 3 nights I've basically turned into an insomniac for no particular reason.
Going to work has become an extreme chore (I skipped Monday, just cause).
This weekend can't come soon enough.
Quote(I skipped Monday, just cause).
HA! I did the same thing. Every couple of months I just have to stay at home and watch bad movies on tv. It helps with the mental state. Yesterday I watched "Once" which was fantastic and I can't believe I didn't see it sooner. I also watched "The Tao Of Steve", which I've seen before, but I have to confess that I do like it - I kind of think that main guy is hottt. I also watched waaaay too much CSI, which isn't a problem on its own, but the commercials that run incessantly on TBS or whatever channel it was on are mindnumbing. All in all though, a good Monday on the couch.

After coming back from a week-long vacation on Monday, I got buried all week at work and missed the Drive By Truckers show on Wednesday night. That one hurt. Oh well, it's a three day weekend now; I'm going to go get a beer and catch up on some Forum stuff, waste away the day. Aaaaahhhhhhh......

Fucking 2 hours to get to work. Normally takes 20-30 minutes. There are some people that just do not know how to drive. People, when it's slushy, freezing rainy out, sleeting, snowing DO NOT GUN IT. The idiot in front of me for 90% of that 2 hour window, sitting in his jacked up 4 Wheel Drive truck, floored it everytime he steeped on his gas and fishtailed. Everytime. Also, just because you have a 1/4 mile or more stretch of open highway doesn't give you free reign to do 90 MPH on a slick highway. Witnessed several fender menders this morning because those said idiots had to slam on their brakes when they caught up with traffic and realized they could easily stop..........

Wilco postponed their concert in Charleston until August 4th. I was extremely excited for this friday, and now, I get to look forward to a six month wait. This should belong in the confessional thread, but the only real concert i've ever been to was a Springsteen show when I was ten. This was going to be my first real concert. And now I have to wait. Six. More. Months. And in 6 months, they won't be playing rarities like now, they'll be playing the same SBS stuff they always do.....oh well..

Just found out Buddy Miles died yesterday. :'(
Ok, so about a year and a half ago a drunk driver hit my car while it was parked on the street. My car came within $40 of being totaled. I was relieved then when I found out it was going to be fixed, but now my car has major engine problems! I'm going to have to spend a few thousand to get it fixed. Now I'm wishing it had been totaled. Damn cars!
On a positive note, I have a mustang for a rental. It's a lot of fun to drive!
sigh....this has been a long week. We've had a conference in town for out Logistics and Warehouse folks. While its nice that they're all in town and I got to finally meet some of them that I've worked with for years, I am so behind in my work because I'm not in my office working. I hate these damn things sometimes.

It's not out of the question that the accident could have caused a problem with the engine. I wonder if you have any recourse. I had a similar thing happen to me in college. My car came within just a few hundered dollars of being totalled and they decided to fix it, well a month later the engine burned up because the oil leaked out of a seal in the engine. I was too stupid and lazy back then to do anything about it, but I wonder if you can fight that with your insurance company?
You know what really grinds my Gears....Yogurt cups. More specifically the damn plastic or foil barrier they put on them. Everytime I go to open one, some of the delicious dairy treat splatters on me. Inevitable it gets my sleeve or the lower part of my shirt. Now many yogurts are whitish in color. It looks like I was just splashes with a fresh sheen of man gravy either from rubbing bellies with a 6+ ft tall person or there was a handy j goin on.
That's what really grinds my gears...

Making sure stuff we build over and above the normal things are charged correctly and billed out correctly. Also reporting on our shipping and production goals. It can be a bit dry somedays.

I just spent thirty minutes cleaning bitch beer out of my fridge. I picked up my box of PBR and the bottom fell out ("wha whaaa!?!?") 'cause it was so soggy.
Then I spent ten minutes cleaning the orange lake that had accumulated underneath the "crisper" and "humidifier" drawers.
All I ask is that if you must put a open, near-full, 16 ounce beverage in my fridge, at least put it on the bottom shelf so it doesn't cascade over my leftover pizza and leave me smelling like peaches.
Thanks.

Ever feel like your teacher is intentionally trying to sink your grade?
In my Biology II internet course, I'm absolutely kicking everyone's asses... Before last Wednesday, I had scored higher than the class average on every single assignment except one - the very first assignment - the "Introduce Yourself in the forum" assignment.
That's right, she handed me a fucking 6 out of 10 in the classroom introductory post - having nothing to do with Biology. Apparently, either I didn't talk about myself enough - or I didn't do a good enough job pretending to give a shit about my fellow classmates (who I will only meet face-to-face three times in the entire semester).
Last Wednesday, the teacher gave me yet another 6 out of 10 in a forum assignment. This time, the assignment was to pick a species of sponge and talk briefly about it. I did a good job describing the sponge, I provided links of reference, and I provided a link to the photo. Hell, I even replied to two of my fellow classmate's posts (it's required that we pretend to give a shit, actually - 2 replies is the minimum requirement).
I couldn't help myself, not when I've busted my ass for my 85.7% average (the class average is a low 70), so I e-mailed her and asked her what was wrong with my report. The answer?
"Your hyperlinks to the sponge picture (-2) and to your references (-1) did not work, and you did not address the person you were relying to by name (-1)."
...so... my reference links work, they are real-life, active website - they just weren't shortcut hyperlinks. That's 30% of my grade. And, even though it is a threaded-breadcrumb style forum, where your replies to people lie directly underneath their name, I didn't state their names. 10% of my grade.
30% of my grade in Biology is actually Computer Applications...
10% of my grade in Biology is actually half-hearted pleasantries...
If only 60% of Biology II is actually related to Biology, I'm totally screwed, because that's what I've been wasting my life studying, this semester.
QuoteEver feel like your teacher is intentionally trying to sink your grade?
In my Biology II internet course, I'm absolutely kicking everyone's asses... Before last Wednesday, I had scored higher than the class average on every single assignment except one - the very first assignment - the "Introduce Yourself in the forum" assignment.
That's right, she handed me a fucking 6 out of 10 in the classroom introductory post - having nothing to do with Biology. Apparently, either I didn't talk about myself enough - or I didn't do a good enough job pretending to give a shit about my fellow classmates (who I will only meet face-to-face three times in the entire semester).
Last Wednesday, the teacher gave me yet another 6 out of 10 in a forum assignment. This time, the assignment was to pick a species of sponge and talk briefly about it. I did a good job describing the sponge, I provided links of reference, and I provided a link to the photo. Hell, I even replied to two of my fellow classmate's posts (it's required that we pretend to give a shit, actually - 2 replies is the minimum requirement).

QuoteThe worst hayfever I've ever had :'(
That happens in Japan? I thought that was an unfortunate American thing. Learn something new everyday.
My vacation just fucking sucks. We are currently staying in Williamsburg, VA. We came with my wife's parents since it is their timeshare. Nobody wants to fucking do a damn thing. We go to the sites and are hardly there then come back to the hotel. Since it's timeshare there is a kitchen so they want to eat in every meal. Seriously, what the fuck is this shit!??!?!?! Who the fuck goes on a vacation just to sit in the fucking hotel and cook for yourself. Fuck this trip sucks major fucking donkey balls. Thank goodness I have access to plenty of booze. No more traveling with her mom and dad (they are the ones driving not doing a damn thing).
My dog has been 'expelling' somewhat prolifically, yet intermittenly, from, er, both ends for the last 24hours (but only when I'm gone). Tonight on the walk he had the tiniest bit of blood in his, uhm, juice that came from his ass. Christ, I give him one stinking beef bone... or, maybe his system hates those new denta bone chewy things? I don't Know??? Other than the leaks, he SEEMS okay. I'm staying home tonight to monitor him instead of going to a $$$ dinner for a yokel local politician soiree because I'm too effin worried about him!! Really, I'm a good Mom!!! I hope it's just a bug...
By the by, last night when I took him for a walk he raced out of the house and into the first shrub where he actually sounded the horns in a blaze of glory! I thought it was hysterical and kept making farting noises at him throughout the evening. He clearly wasn't amused and kept barking at me each time I did so. He's so great!
PS - MJ, I'm sorry your vacation sucks. Everybody knows vacations are all about throwing a backpack on with a bottle of water and a Clif Bar and seeing what kind of trouble you can find. (Usually, if the GOds are smiling, there's a pub involved) Hopefully, it'll take a turn. Here's hopin'!!
i had to go to the hospital last night. lame. i am supposed to not do anything but lay in bed all day, and it is driving me crazy.
my complaint is that i can never really rest. is anyone else like that? right now i am fighting the urge to clean this house, even though i know doing so would only make things worse. i can't sit still. i always have to be doing something. i can't stand having to take a day off work.
so...
hi, my name is meg and i am a workaholic.

You and me are speaking the same language there girly girl. I'm not a lounge around and do nothing kind. I would have been perfectly fine with a shit load of Euros, my trusty backpack, laptop bag, and a round trip plane ticket and I could have made a happy memory or 2. But alas.....
I pulled my right hamstring last week playing softball. I've always healed fairly fast so I played again last night and pulled my other one. Two pulled hamstrings. Ridiculous. Getting older is a motherfucker. :'(

I love german/germany. I lived there for a month last summer, im decent at speaking it, i've hosted a few german kids at my house. I wish to involve german somehow with a career.
So i applied for a scholarship to live in Germany for a year. Filled out a very tedious application. Wrote about 7 essays, ect. Got past the 1st round of elimination as it were, had an interview in january with 3 "judges". I wait until march. To discover i didnt get accepted. I got way too far ahead of myself. Mentally, i was preparing to go to germany. Mentally, i was IN germany. In no way was i prepared to accept defeat like this. Sure its a bummer i didnt get accepted, but i really intensified the disapointment. I will be too old to apply next year. Fuck me.
- I had a hernia when i was younger. Have no worrys, it wont be too bad.
Why am I not suprised The white House destroyed computer Hard drives >:(

so sick so so sick
my glands are so swollen...
i can't swallow
i'm so frustrated.
but got tested for strep and that's negative.
i hope this isn't mono. please don't let this be mono. please please please.
yuck
So...Friday night I'm heading to Regina (2 hours from here) with a friend and am spending half the day pissing around, then heading to see Black Mountain at my favourite venue in the world. We're spending the night at an old friend's house and tying on a mean drunk. Then home early the next morning so my friend can make it to work on time.
I was SUPPOSED to be driving to Saskatoon (3 hours from here) alone Saturday to see Black Mountain again. My good friend who I was to stay with didn't get our tickets yet and the show is now sold out. I'm pretty pissed, but not at her, cause she's the nicest girl in the world.
It's probably for the best though, I'll save myself some $$$ and at least I'm seeing BM (at my favourite venue, no less). But I was really looking forward to hitting Saskatoon. Such a wonderful city.

People who bitch about the tabs site. I put in all this work, make what I consider to be a good tabs site, and people gotta come on there and dog my tabs. I know they're not all 100% accurate, I never claimed they were.
And I get it, people want bass tabs too. But I'm not a bass player, if you are and you like the jacket figure some of the songs out yourself and send them to me. I'll put them on the interweb for you and you can hear people bitch about how much they suck.
Sorry for the rant, I had to get that off my chest.

make sure you get lots of rest! seriously. i had mono the last month of my senior year of high school. i missed all the fun stuff... field day, parties, etc. i went to prom, but ended up getting worse b/c i didn't rest.
i know it sucks to stay at home and not have fun, but you've got to. mono is kind of like your body's way or forcing you to slow down and rest.
so take it easy. buy a tv show on dvd. sit on the couch and nap a lot. rest! and you'll be better soon.
wish you a speedy recovery!

Hope you survived. That movie is the epitome of treacly. I was once held hostage with that movie by a friend of mine who still pines away for anything reeking of high school sentimentality. And while both the lead actress and actor are definitely eye candy, I left feeling like slitting my wrists for being such a cynic as my friend was going on and on about how it was the best movie ever and I'm trying not to gag. That day, I felt like I didn't belong in the "girl" category. Hope your wife feels better, though.

Bad timing too. We started state mandated testing today and so being absent is really frowned upon, plus my kids hate it when I'm absent. But I went for the first half hour to pep them up and let them know that I believe in them. The principal's giving the test right now. I hope they do well.

CATs. I think it's called something different in every state. It's the "big test" that determines how much money our school receives and how much professional freedom us teachers are allowed. I have problems with this form of assessment but it's obviously important for me and the school (wish I could put the kids on that list but sometimes they get lost in the shuffle when the government gets involved).
i don't think i'm going to make it in tomorrow either. i'm pretty sure I have bronchitis AND the stomach flu. :(

At least you don't have to deal with the 4th grade writing test. My teacher friend (who teaches 4th grade..duh) says it's the worst test ever. Worse than the CATs.
...actually, do you have to deal with those?

we don't have writing tests. we have portfolios. 4th grade teachers definitely have it worst when it comes to anyone k-12. we have portfolios on 3rd but i only have to turn in four of them and they don't count on our accountability index. 4th graders in our state have to test in reading, science, math, and all students turn in portfolios.
Portfolio. What an awful word.

They used the CATS in Nebraska (or at least used to when I lived and very briefly taught there). Almost the same tests in IL called the ISATS.
Hope you feel better.

We see it on the 5 o'clock news and my daughter just turns to my wife and looks at her like, "What's going on?"
UUUGGGHHHHH! Sorry to hear that brother.
Quotegood vibes your way dark. ~
mine, a little more trivial. i just spilled the last bowl of frosted mini wheats all over me/the couch/the rug/my computer.
i mean. it's whatever, it'll dry.
but there's no more milk.
Hope you didn't short anything out... :-/
My turn signal is broken. The lights come on and everything, but they stay on. I have to manually turn them on and off and on and off and on and off. I crack myself up every time I turn so I guess there's some good coming out of it. Everybody needs a little laughter in their life. Sho' nuff.
The really cute but apparently dumb girl at the desk in the audio/video labs at school booked my studio time for yesterday morning instead of this morning like I had asked. She even told me Wednesday morning when I set the appointment. Luckily tomorrow morning was still open so I can still start/finish my project before Friday.
Also, Portfolio.
A piece of one of my back teeth fell out last night in class. That's probably bad but it'll have to wait a couple weeks until I finish up this semester.

when did this forum become scary and hostile and tense and aggressive!? :'(
also - i have the SATs on Saturday morning. Any good vibes would be appreciated for mono girl (who hates this entire system and also hasn't woken up before 10 AM in 6 weeks because of fatigue and lack of focus and will have to get up at 7 for the very first time to take a ridiculous 4-hour standardized test that says nothing about intelligence or, lets be real, anything at all except for test-taking-ability which is bullshit anyway)

Good vibes for def!!! Don't worry too much about it though. I'm a lousy test-taker and I did horribly on my SAT's, but I still think my head is right on my shoulders. Plus, you're young enough, right, that this isn't your last time to take them? I thought people these days took the SAT's a few times before the final one that counts. In any event, you are clearly a bright and talented girl and regardless of how you score you are already head and shoulders above most peeps. :)

this is my second time, actually :) and if all else fails then i planned accordingly and woudl be able to (though would prefer not to) take them again next fall.
BONUS! i just found out that if i do poorly (or poor-er) then i get to get a doctors note that says that i had mono during my May SAT test blah blah blah. maybe mono isn't so bad...
didn't do so badly on the first time, but my parents're crazy about this sort of thing which is sort of a bummer. anyway thank you for the kind words, im' sure it'll be fine. it just sucks.

I've missed more than half of the last two weeks of work due to sickness. Last week it was a throat infection, this week it's the flu. I really don't mind staying in bed all day and watching Jeopardy, it's just the lack of $$$ that's really the killer. :-/

My chihuahua pissed on my flip flops and I had to whip his ass >:(
i won a bonnaroo merchandise package here at our radio station (101.9 RXP NYC) and i finally got the chance to go pick up my goods today (i was quite excited) and it was a bag full of sh** a double disc bravery cd, NIN, and the kooks...!! what kind of bonnaroo package is that? they did throw in a bumper sticker (nice that i no longer drive a car) ...ah well. beggars can't be choosers---as well as radio listeners
the bright side, awaiting my listening party package-i'm sure i won't be dissappointed in that.
Seriously, what in the sad fucking hell is going on here? I think I'm checking out for a while. People are fighting about the stupidiest of shit. People are showing up out of nowhere and ACTING LIKING IMMATURE FUCKING ASSHOLES. Seriously folks, come on. You're bumming a lot of people out and pissing a lot of others off.
I really hope the boys in the band haven't been reading some of the shit that's been going back and forth and some of the complete asine stuff that is being said by others. This used to be a really nice place. Sure there were little spats here and there, but lately.....
I'm sure I'll be back eventually but this just fucking blows right now.

have faith......the forum will surely chill out once the album is officially released and the tour is announced. IMHO we all should practice self control, and ignore the ridiculous, responce-begging comments on the site.
I agree with Face and mj. And Corey and other people who've said similar things.
This has become a much less pleasant place to visit lately. At first I thought it was just me being too old fashioned/prissy/English but I don't think it is.
I've often seen new members come in all aggressive and offensive, then settle down to be really cool people, cyber friends, even, when they see that this isn't just any old forum. (Being an arsehole seems mandatory on some boards.) That's been really great.
It's not for me to tell people what to post but there's no harm in saying how I see things. I hope you're right, wizzard :)
Love is simple, but why do people have to act like it's so damn complicated? :-/
love is far from simple.
Sorry to hear that Face. :edited:
Real love really does seem simple to me. It's just our human tendencies to add all this extra baggage to it.
Right now, I'm on the outside looking in at a relationship. I'd look elsewhere, but this girl really does seem one-of-a-kind to me. I can't really get in the way of it, nor do I want to, because they're both my friends. It's been going on for six months now here also, and I'm really not sure what to think anymore.
thanks dark/potoo (edited)
but love wouldn't exist without humans, as we defined it. ultimately, 'real love', as you're defining it, doesn't exist because we are humans. and we do add this baggage, always. i'm learning that nothings perfect.
good luck with that situation.
Thanks. :)
I agree, nothing's perfect with humans, especially in relationships. But I've also found that in the best relationships, even though the baggage is still there, its just the simple connection that shines through. The extra shit only begins to matter when the true, pure part is weak. Relationships are complicated, but love is just a connection.
"Every relationship is fundamentally a power struggle, and the individual in power is whoever likes the other person less." -Chuck Klosterman (Sex, Drugs & Cocoa Puffs)
learn it! live it!
that's depressing and terrible and true.
i know (sigh) ;D
It is. :-/
It turns out that the forementioned relationship actually just ended. So sure, there's gonna be a lotta crap going on over the next week or two, but it's better then waiting six months for a relationship to end. :)

Yes, a case of too little too late...one upside (for my folks anyway) is that Reading are now in the same league as Norwich where both of sisters live.
I still blame this man...

Thanks so much. I have been in this position many times now...and only clocking into my 3rd decade, well, death needs to give me and my loved ones a break for a chance. so yeah, she passed today. Surrounded by her kids, grandkids, and her companion (my uncle). Tough.
I bought him the most amazing book tonight. I have been so unfortunate to loose quite a few friends during my twenties. 'The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying' by Sogyal Rinpoche saved me each and every time. I am hoping that it can provide him solace in this diffucult time.
Thanks Bluntmaster....staying strong to support those I love
It really sucks when someone you trust lies to you.
it also really sucks when you think that someone you trust and love is lying to you...
ohhh but there's nothing you can doooo
oh i am so sure my boyfriend of 5 months has been cheating on me and i cant say anything because i don't know how.
fuck this.
seriously. fuck this. >:(
Sorry Jenny. I wish I had words of wisdom for you. I've been in your position before and it fucking sucks. I drank myself silly trying to forget and get over it. It didn't work and don't go down that road. Just do what's best for you
Offers cyber shoulder if needed.
ohhhhhhh this sucks... thanks mj.
i just took a bunch of (what i just found out was) expired ambien. lets hope i wake up tomorrow morning.
good night all. wish me luck. tomorrow marks month five. i guess i had this coming dating someone 6 years older than me.
but, FUCK.
That really sucks, Face. We're with you on this. I've found that just thinking calmly about it really helps to accept it. Shutting this shit out just doesn't help. Just don't OD on anything, k? :)
It stormed badly here earlier. We got golf ball-sized hail. Tornado warnings galore. I think a few of our neighbor's trees are down. This is probably common for you Kentucky folk but it doesn't happen often here. It was surreal. :o
He's a manipulative asshole that has tied me up into his games for this long. and i've known it from the start. but i didnt' think he could possibly be fucking with me. still, i can't stop loving him. oh, this is going to hurt so bad when it's over...
i've thought calmly about it. it's fine, it just sucks. i'll live. this is what life is. thanks dark.
now i'm really out. this shit is kicking in, whatever it is.
Good night, Face. It'll work out somehow. These things always do.

Girl, you are too cool for this shit. It may hurt in the long run, but no one deserves to be with a manipulative asshole (especially an amazingly talented, funny, and smart girl like you). You will live, and one day you will thank yourself for moving on from this loser.....(just my humble opinion). One more thing, watch out for those older guys.... I have serious opinions on that shit.

having to sell my tickets to RCMH.
I think I've got a combined 25 mosquito bites on my feet. I'm never wearing sandals again.
Driving all day and then having to work all night. All I want to do is go see Iron Man and Indiana Jones. :-/
i feel so stressed out and so tired and anxious and so annoyed by every tiny thing. i can't even listen to music right now. what is going on???
ohhhh dearrr :(
ps. i'm sorry for all the complaints recently.
i'm just very confused.
Hey Jenny. Your ok which is the ggood thing. Worried abot the other night. Things will be ok. Look on the brightside. Summer vacation is almost here. Good things always happen in the summer.
Yeah, I was kinda afraid you'd OD on old painkillers. ;)
Really, this is gonna be over before you know it. You'll get out of the relationship and move on. Summer is just about here. Evil Urges is coming. Mostly, you'll be in lots of other places and you'll hopefully be able to leave it all behind.
It helps looking at things from an objective point of view.
My complaint: My friends are having problems, but I'm kinda being kept in the dark about it. Really, its hard watching your friends go thru shit and not being able to help or even relate sometimes. :-/
ohhh but the relationship will not end because i'm naive and confused and silly and still so in loveeeeee even though sometimes i don't undrestannnd. the truth is, he's fine. he's great, really. i just get caught up in little things, and am very protective (and apparently) very jealous. he's sweet and kind and nice and funny and listens to good music and handsome and everything. it's me! (or maybe htis is him making me blame myself...). i just get delusional and paranoid and nervous and anxious and blah blah blah. i just need to grow up. and trust he's not doing anything wrong because i have no reason not to (not true. i have one reason not to, but cannot mention said reason because i did something bad and sneaky that every girlfriend in the universe does.)
i'm feeling a little better, anyway, i just wrote him a big long letter.
anyway, sorry about your friends, dark. summer is so close. SO CLOSE! breaaaaathhheee :)
Good idea writing a letter, Face. Probably the best way to get it off your chest. :)
My complaint actually was more of a past thing. I still feel shut out sometimes (a certain girl I know is usually hyper, but it always seems like there's something on her mind) but things are going really well in my life right now, on the verge of getting into a comforable relationship, and summer is HERE for me! Exams ended today! :D
I basically spent all day doing nothing. Tommorrow will be more fun hopefully...
Nope. Today's been really, really shitty. Raining, traffic is horrible, couldn't find my friends at the beach an hour away or even stay to look for them...wow. :(
Okay, gee-dee-it!! If I open up the fridge ONE MORE TIME and that damn stick of butter falls out again I'm going to... um... do something... or maybe yell. That butter is in for some real trouble.
Oh, and while I'm talking about my fridge, seriously, there is something in there that is capital Stanky and I CANNOT FIND IT!! I have thrown out everything I can think of and then some but still, THE HORROR! It's really bad. Even the box of Arm y Hammer is not working. WTF??????? :'( :'(
Holy Hangover Batman!
I can't stop shitting, no matter how hard I try. it's a constant outflow of crap burning through my sphincter :'( oh fuck I just got some on my mouth. :P mmm nasty.
The continuing rise in the number of knife attacks/fatalities in the UK :'(
I feel like absolutly rolled up used TP right now. I haven't slept much in the last few days, I've eaten like shit, and I drank way too fucking much. On top of that, I'm catching something, I drove from 10 fucking hours today so my back and ass hurt, and I'm high as a kite on about 3 different cold medicines. Ahhhh family. I'm sure I left some carnage on the highways and byways of NE, IA and MO today. :'(
^^ ME TOO!
i literally did not sleep one minute last night.

I have BBC World on a lot during the day & for a couple of days in a row it just seemed like one knife attack after another.
On a brighter note, Good to hear from you Susan!. I hope things are good in your neck of the woods & that you & your good man are both doing well :)

Yeah, what the heck is going in Jolly 'ole England? I typically read BBC as their US news is less biased then many of the US news outlets and I skip through the England and World news there. Seems likes its turning more into America. :-/ Or is this just typical media making it seem worse then it really is? We get that here sometimes.
I guess it could be worse, it could be gun violence.

I'll just sit here at work for the next few hours, sipping my milky tea, staring off into space. :(

Severe warnings but no funnel in my town, thankfully. Not sure about surrounding area yet. We probably got 2" at my house in less then an hours time. I had some branches down in the yard I noticed when I left for work. Hopefully that's all anyone else got.

In the words of the great Flavor Flav DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE. Actual statistics show knife crime to be on the decrease overall but apparently on the increase amongst young teenagers. It's media driven hype designed to stir up fear. The right wing media is driving this. Call me cynical but it's part of the plan to make sure the 'tough on crime' right wing erect aresholes the Conservative Party get elected. Which they will as Labours a dead duck. Labours lost control, Britains in chaos blah blah blah.
It's all about perception though isn't it rather than cold statistics? I mean they go on and on about these crimes in London for example but there are far more knife relate injuries and deaths in Glasgow for example. You don't hear about them though cos, funnily enough, it's Glasgow and they are a bit more used to it than those soft bastards daarn Saarth ;)
However there is a negative influence that comes from America I feel. But that's another topic entirely.

Appreciate the words. Sounds alot like some of the crap we get here. Is crime better/worse? Statistics can be misleading, especially when it comes to crime, at least according to the Statistics Professor I had when I was a Criminal Justice Major at one point. All depends on if people actually report crimes or what they report so there is not a real way of determining if it is better or worse. As you point it out, it's all perception.
Hell I live in St Louis and it typical gets called a crime ridden, violent city. I don't perceive it as that. I feel completly safe here.
I could see where a negative influence is, at least what's reported so it may not be the case since I do not live there I do not know. And yes, it's probably best not discussed here.
complaint: 1:25 est 3.5 hrs to go til I get out of this fucking chair!
disclaimer: i apologize in advance for having teenage angst. what can i do?
my boyfriends sick, his phone's off, haven't heard from him in hours...
i always assume the worst. i've been horribly pissy recently to him, and now i'm scaaaareed.
someone, tell me he's fine. tell me i'm being neurotic.
thanks.
also, started taking some kidney medication so they would start absorbing sodium or something so i could stop being orthastatic, and it makes my heart palpitations fucked up and now i've had heartburn all day and i'm probably dying and i just passed out for 2 hours and i have a horrible headache and i'm SO SICK OF BEING SICK it's been since february this is so fucked up.
also, EC come back please.
I wish I could tell chicks they're "thirsty for the cock" without them getting pissed.
F'n InBev and their $46 Billion Byout offer of AB. Dammit. Seriously, more and more foreign companies keep buying up US companies. Why the hell does this keep happening. It's been a scary trend in Food, Package Goods, and Grocery Store companies. This one is going to be brutal. I stand strong for all the AB folks here in St Louis as I've lived through a take over like this and if FUCKING SUCKS.

I stand strong for all the AB folks here in St Louis as I've lived through a take over like this and if FUCKING SUCKS.

I saw this earlier and couldn't help but wonder why a Belgian Beer Co.
(generally good beer) would want to buy a large American beer company (generally not so good beer)? Well, other than $$$$ of course.
And while I'm passing awards, I'd like to give a big Hobo FU to Costco for causing me to buy, for the third time, a bucket of mealy-bad-tasting plums. Plus, they don't even work.

The Lollapalooza schedule just came out and if I end up going, I have some major choices to make. This is also based on knowing who my friend I'm probably going with will want to see. However, I do know that if I go, there won't be much time where there isn't anyone playing that I want to see.

Explosions in the Sky vs. Brand New

Nope, you're good. I thought it was mine at first, but I looked and I have Itunes going, I'm downloading a flac, and reading 3 sites at the same time. I might be sucking up all the bandwith in Casa Koehler.

I saw them in April, it was a great show! We were in the 3rd row and I loved it. Personally I would go with EITS but my friend used to be a huge Brand New fan and I don't know if he'd want to skip them to see EITS again.

I've just been busy with work, and I hadn't been logging on to the forum lately b/c of all the drama.
But it's all good now. In fact, we're playing some K Log on the FM station RIGHT NOW.

I wise choice, keeping away for a while & avoiding the silliness.
Pleased to hear you're OK. Keep on fighting the good fight & playing Kenny Loggins!!!
I have to wait two and a half months to see MMJ at Philly. The wait really is killing me.
My 6yo daughter is freting about what cloths and shoes to wear to a party to look good. Oh god she's trying to accessorize. It's starting already! ahhhhhh Shoot me know. I do not not know what I'm going to do over the next 12 years.
OK so while clearing some bushes and a few small trees ealier, I fell backwards and slammed down on top of a couple of stumps from some small trees. Probably not a good thing that my back feels like someone just hit me with a baseball bat in the back, it's bruising up, and I'm pissin blood? I think I'm gonna go lay down for a while. ouch my fucking back hurts.
Ouch. Rest up, man.

I do? You have me confused with blunty? I think I'm confused.
Shit Mike that's not good! Getting the wind knocked out of you after a nasty fall is one thing but peeing blood? Might want to get that checked, no? Hope you're OK...
Yeah, there's a big knot know on my back and I hurts to just move. I also found a giant bruise on my leg. Apparently that hit too. I stupidly got back up and kept working since I had 2 loads of branchs and stuff and didn't just want them sitting there. I really need to pay someone to do this shit for me. Thanksfully I have a laptop and can relax on the coach.
I'm hoping to avoid the Doctor, she's mean to me. Probably cuz the on times I see her is when I hurt myself.
Yeah MJ. Are you still pissing blood or was it a one time thing? Sounds like the stump got you in the kidneys?
Still. Kidney area is bruised. The knot is near my spine.
I'm as stubborn as the next guy about going to the doc but pissin blood is worth getting checked out. On a side note, do you have any kind of supplemental insurance, like Aflac? That gives me more incentive to go to the doc; free money.
If it doesn't start clearing up by tomorrow, I'm going. Thankfully I have really good insurance.
holy smokes! feel better, bud.
Geez, hope everything turns out alright.
this is really trivial, but one of the motors in a fan of a starguide receiver unit is emitting this really soft but high-pitched (and constant) noise which makes me want to explode.
i can't figure out which one it is since we have like 15 different receiver units, and i am going insane.

I've got a complaint...California is burning! Now, I don't have it that bad, I mean, my home hasn't burned and I haven't had to evacuate...no fires within a hundred miles, but damn is the air crappy. This is going to be a long summer of fires too, most likely. We got ALL of our rain before January, so right now it's as dry as the late summer. Our fire fighters are going to be worn ragged by October :-[
Damn bbill, hopefully you continue to keep that distance between you and the fires.
I'm in a training class for the next 2 weeks, all day everyday. I'm basically being sequestered at work, no voice mail, email, or internet during training. This shit fucking sucks. I have to come in 2 hours early just to get some shit done since I'm a team of 1 and my boss is in the same class so we both are in the same boat.

I got to drunk on the 4th July festivities, my wife had to pull over and let me yarf 3 times on the way home. The last time I yarfed I didn't roll my window down all the way and some of it rolled down the inside of the door. So the next mornin I was picking chunks of hot dog out of my door handle. I need to chew my food better. And my poor buddy in the backseat had to smell my yarf breath all the way home because I was hanging my head out the window like a dog.

from the opening bands myspace bulletin:
yeah. sorry, folks. their singer got punched in the throat(wtf?), and now he cant sing. it is rescheduled for august 5th, so if you have tickets, save them... they are still good.
the show is rescheduled to just a few days before a festival i'm going to, so it will be hard to get off for that now. and i was also hoping to get a copy of the new album at the show a few days before the release date, figuring they would have it since its at the start of a tour.
That sucks, true. I hate when crap gets rescheduling at inconvenient times.
I am expanding a section of my driveway. I had the lumber for the border done (by myself I might add). I had the gravel delievered today, all 6 tons of it. Low and behold, my FIL and BIL who were going to help me both decided to take their wives to Branson last night. So I ended up shoveling 6 fucking tons of gravel by myself. I fucking tired, sore, cranky and pissed off at them. At least it's done.
Man, let tonight get here so I can eat ribs and drink something tall and frothy.

1st day back to work after a 2 week vacation to Myrtle beach & Greenville S.C.. I wanted to drive into a tree on my way into work today. God, why can't I win the lottery or something. And only 1 day of vacation left for the rest of the year. Next year 4 weeks of vacation for me ( Maybe I should put that in the current joys thread. ).
"One of those days" at work tonight. :(
Work is driving me nuts as well. I have a degree in Chemistry but basically I take orders and check order status over half the day because we don't have enough people to do things like that. Ugh...basically I have tons of busywork that keep me constantly doing 10 things at once from 9:00-4:30. After that the phones are pretty slow, but by that time I'm so burned out I just want to surf the net for the last hour. Which I often do haha so I can't complain too much. And I bought Abbey Road on vinyl and I haven't listened to the new Black Angels yet, but my dad stays up so damned late I can't even get stoned...by the time he goes to bed I might as well just go to bed too...ugh, why do I live with my parents again? Oh that's right because I owe $62,000 for going to school to get a degree I barely use only to make less than teacher money. Sweet. Maybe someday I'll figure out what to do with my life to make some more money. Oh, and I haven't driven my '69 Firebird in 3 years and I took the motor to a guy to be rebuilt on June 2 and he still doesn't even have the parts for it because they're made in India or China or some shit now because Americans don't make jack shit anymore because the corporate big shits are too fuckin greedy...Ahhh, that felt good! I love this place I would insert the hugging smiley if I knew how....looks like dad finally went to bed! [smiley=beer.gif]

Maybe your old man's staying up late because he's hoping you'll pass it his way ;D
Dude, you should move to the Bay Area...with a Chemistry degree, I'm sure you could get a job at one of the pharmaceutical companies down there. Chiron and Bayer have facilities in the Emeryville/Berkeley area, and Amgen has a HUGE campus in South San Francisco (as well as a big ass facility just north in Fairfield). I know that picking up and moving across the country is pretty complicated, and you may have ties to home that you need to be there for, but if you're game, I'm sure you could find work out here.
Nice networking!

It was weird, he had just a tad bit of fever but no other symptoms except he was just constantly pissed off. He would just stand in the middle of the room and look at you and cry. :'( I'm just happy we figured it out and there is a light at the end of the tunnel!

65k lines is a bummer when you've got a lot to analyse. Set to manual calculation, do your changes and then press F9 and pour a long, cold drink...
Yeah I discovered the manual calculation setting oooh say after I got 95% of the data in. I about pissed myself when I found it. I still have a bunch of raw data to dump in for the V lookups but now that the damn thing doesn't try to re-calculate, it should go much smoother...I hope. Whilst not 1 Gb, it's large enough that its too gib for many of the flash drives I use to transfer stuff around.
GIH- I'm actually not 100% what my 6 bosses need it for (yes, that is correct 6 bosses. I feel like fucking Peter Gibbons from Office Space). Something to do with making a shipping and production model.
I guess 1 good thing, is a lot of my desk is being handled by someone else.
Holy hangover Batman! I love waking up feeling like someone is crushing my skull under a giant rock!
crazylove got a call at 1:45 a.m. that her mother had fallen at the nursing home and had hit her head when she fell. She went to the emergency room and has still not returned. I am a bit worried.......
She just made it back. Good news, they did not have to throw any stitches and the CAT scan came back ok. I am glad she is home safe.

I'm really sick of working nights.
i didnt get the job i really wanted. :-/
Sorry to hear that man. What kind of job was it?
CAD specialist/mechy engineer type of job. It looked cool. Really close to home, minimal travel and such. O well, I got some other leads.
Good luck!
I'm just gonna warn ya now, I'm in a right mood. If I piss someone off in the coming days, I apologize in advance.
Shits hittin the fan at work, I have so much fucking work to do and not enough time. On top of that, out of an official 8 hour day (I haven't worked 8 hours a day in years), I have had at least 5 hours of meetings/conference calls everyday for the last few weeks. I keep getting shit dumped on me to do, all high priority of course. On top of that, I apparently have to fucking go to visit a large customer next week so I have to go to Arkansas (yeah them). I don't want to go. I have to make some kind of presentation. On top of all that shit, I'm depressed, moody, drinking a bit more then normal which isn't helping, my knees for fucking killing me, and I just feel like an old old man. And on top of all of that shit, I'm a staunch Dem and all the shit that's going on with the election is just making me made. I'm trying to avoid talking to people about it cuz I'll end up getting in an argument. All the people around me...well they are not Dems. I had to walk away from my desk the other day as one of the ladies said she was afraid of Obama because of his name. WTF?!?!?! Same woman also said she refuse to ride the Metro here (our subway/train system) because "those" people ride. I got into an argument with her on that one as she clearly was in the wrong. The ignorance and hypocracy is adundent and it is sad and just makes it all the worse.
And I'm reminiscing about about years gone by....I gotta stop, my heads gonna blow.
Sounds like you need some Jacket Brother and Sisterhood.......I am craving it right now. Hang in there Michael, sometimes a really rough period is followed by a peak. The presentation you give in Arkansas will give you a chance to show off your skills!

I stopped before I got to Trig. Algebra II was mooooore then enough. Course we sat in class and played craps most of the time. Studying probability..yeah yeah thats what we were doing, studying probability.
I'm actually taking pre-cal right now. But we're doing a Trig review (which me and a lot of friends were able to skip), and we're also working with it in Physics.

I had a great softball game last night including 2 doubles and a massive triple. All for naught though as we lost by 1 run in the end and my gimpy knee is killing me. The last 4 games I have been playing great but apparently I need to have my knee looked at again as it's doing the same shit as before I had surgery. Dammit anyway.

That's the shits Mike, hope you don't end up on the disabled list.
That being said, you do realize if you would have hit three home runs instead of a pair of doubles and a triple, you could have just walked the bases. ;)

HA! Trust me, that is on my mind everytime. I hit one last week, to bad it was an inside the park. This week it was about 2 feet from the top of the fence. I also have the misfortune of turning 36 soon (like right after new years) and most of the rest of the team is early to mid 20's. Damn younguns, they will be the death of me.
Yeah, but you are out there dude! I wonder how many of those youngins' will be out there when they are 36?
What the fuck?!?! It's 41 degrees outside. Goddammit.

I have been saying that all day. My day started when I caught ( and he wanted to be caught) a guy pleasuring himself on his drive into work. >:( Yeah, that's what I said, that's how my day started. Then a family friend passed away. And then Jim fell :( This a very Bad day.
My job is changing, majorly. I found out at 5 minutes before I was ready to leave. I was also informed that the next 2-3 weeks I will be out of town traveling. It's more of an operational job instead of an analyst's role. I don't know how I feel about it other then the travel part, which I'm not happy about. It's a brand new role so I get to be a trailblazer I guess. Oh I was told that it's effective immediately and they were going to send me out of town on 1 days notice. Thanksfully they came to reason and I have to travel next week instead.
Kinda of was told I didn't have to take it but it's really going to fuck tings up if I don't. Nothing like no pressure or anything.
Mike you can't giv'em the finger....SO GIV'EM MINE

It's black and furry but not that big. It's in the loungeroom so I've decided to not go in there for a while. We really only see bugs and stuff in summer. Last February a blue tongue lizard that was about a metre long walked into the house when my sister opened the front door. It's hilarious talking about it now but back then I was freaked out!
Just so long as it's not one of these bad-boys!!! Stay safe :)

Australian Spiders - The Funnel-Web Spider
The Sydney Funnel-web Spider (Atrax robustus) is one of 36 species of funnel-web spiders in Australia. Funnel-web spiders prefer moist cool habitats and are found in the south eastern regions of Australia. They live in silk lined burrows and crevices. Their hideouts can easily be identified by the characteristic trip lines radiating from the entrance of the burrow.
Sydney Funnel-web Spider
The Sydney Funnel-web Spider is mostly found within a radius of 160km from Sydney. (There have been occasional sightings a bit further away.)
It is large (up to 4.5cm for just the body), black, aggressive, and has powerful fangs.
The males often wander into houses, especially in summer and autumn, on their search for females...
It's the time when most Sydney Funnel-web Spider bites happen.
How dangerous is the Sydney Funnel-web Spider?
The male of the species is the most dangerous of the Australian spiders. (This is unusual. Normally the female spiders are more dangerous).
Australian spiders will often bite without injecting venom. But if you get bitten by a large black spider in the Sydney area you should take the bite seriously.
The symptoms of the venom include pain, mouth numbness, vomiting, abdominal pain, sweating and salivation. Whether you have symptoms or not, apply a pressure immobilisation bandage as explained on the page about Australian snakes, and seek medical help.
But there is no need to panic. Nobody has died from a Sydney Funnel-web Spider bite since an antivenom was introduced in 1980.
Before the introduction of the antivenom the rate of human deaths following a Funnel-web spider bite was less than one every three years, and these fatalities took typically 2 to 3 days. There is plenty of time to administer the antivenom.
(90% of the people bitten never develop symptoms that would warrant the use of antivenom anyway...)
It is interesting to know that the venom of the Sydney Funnel-web Spider is particularly effective in humans. It doesn't affect other mammals, for example cats or dogs, anywhere near as much...
On a positive note: all of the Australian Outback is a lot more than 160km from Sydney...
- The basement suite I was set to rent fell through (not literally) and I'm back on the hunt.
- One of my good friends is heading abroad with his UK visa any day now. I'm very excited for him, but he's one of the few rational people I've got left to shoot the breeze with.

That's crazy that you all know about Montgomery Inn. My family eats there almost everytime we get together and the Boat House is the best of course. The original in Montgomery was closer so we've been there more and we actually went to the one on the Kentucky side of the River and it was good too. It's based in an old brewery and they still brew their own house brew there. My rich uncle in California has the sauce shipped out to him by the case. Good stuff indeed. I almost always get an order of ribs and the duck with saratoga chips.
ok, I'm going to go get dinner!

The original in Montgomery was closer so we've been there more and we actually went to the one on the Kentucky side of the River and it was good too. It's based in an old brewery and they still brew their own house brew there. My rich uncle in California has the sauce shipped out to him by the case. Good stuff indeed. I almost always get an order of ribs and the duck with saratoga chips.
ok, I'm going to go get dinner!
HA! Everytime I had to travel to Cinci, we ate there. One of my last customers in one of old roles was based near Mason and every year they would send me one of the big packs of Ribs and stuff, Graeters, and Skylines. God I miss that customer. :(
Yep, that's Cincinnati for yeah. Take Montgomery Inn Ribs, Skyline Chili, Graeter's Ice Cream, throw in the Reds, Bengals, and heaps and heaps of political and racial tension and you got Cincinnati!
Your care packages sound a lot like my Uncle's. :)
The Super Cini pack. Goodness I wants some ribs right now.

Oh, that's the shit! I'm going to cincy next month, I'm going to have to make my own super cincy pack!
I remember eating there 25 years ago with crazylove it was so good! :)
She won't shut up! She just keeps going and going with stories and examples for everything. Tomorrow afternoon cannot get here soon enough....and I'm fucking running low on vodka.

I went to Junior High and High School at Sycamore in Cincy (our Junior High was just down the road from the Montgomery Inn). I have been to the OG Montgomery Inn numerous, numerous times. I have not eaten meat in over 15 years though. But I remember it being the bomb. And I ate at the one on the river too. It was fancier if I remember right.....
Ahhh....Ohio ::)

i really hate my body and it seriously pisses me off that i have to deal with such ridiculous b.s. all the time.
you know, i don't want to go into detail about what's wrong with me, but i just don't understand the universe sometimes. how is it fair that people can have kids and mistreat and abuse them and then someone like me, who would be a good parent someday, can't have kids?
i mean, really-- what the hell?
don't get me wrong; i'm thankful for all the good things in my life. i'm glad this isn't worse than what it is... but i still don't want to deal with it anymore.
and being in pain sucks ass, too. i just HATE it so much and wish that this wasn't a part of my life. sometimes i think maybe it's my fault and that i'm just a terrible person, so this is what i deserve... but then again, i've been dealing with this for 8 years--and i am only 24.
does that mean i am a bad person? a weak person? i don't know anymore.
why the fuck does caffeine put me to sleep?
I woke up today with an explosively horrendous migraine. I'm going to say the 2nd worst I've ever had. I tried to just sleep through it but that just wasn't happening. I took some Excedrin and drank a couple glasses of water which unfortunately didn't stay down very long, but it seemed to do the trick because its finally gone away enough that I can get back out of bed.
I fucked up my ankle today playing disc golf. While making a jump, a certain tree branch was not where I thought it to be; landed one foot, the other was not so lucky. It's sort of purple, a size and a half larger than my other foot, and hurts like shit. I can "walk"(get from my bed to the fridge), but I'll give it a while before any medical consultation is sought. 8-)

Hang in there, man. I started getting bad migraines this year and I didn't realize how debilitating they can be. They suck. The meds my doc gave me seem to work though (most of the time).

Ow. Stay tough man. Remember you have to sacrifice your body for this sport! ;)
For some reason or another, I've got a pretty terrible back and today it's been absolutely killing me. To numb the pain I'm watching Meat Puppets videos on YouTube and eating far too many crackers.

I only get them once in a great while, but when I do, they come in full force. Yesterday it seemed to linger for the rest of the day but was tolerable. My worst one was a couple years ago. I woke up and it felt like there was a thousand needles exploding outward from the center of my brain every second. I have no idea how long I was awake or how I managed to make it from my bed to the kitchen and back to bed, but when I woke up again, the headache was gone and the whole thing seemed like a hellish nightmare.

QuoteQuoteI truly fucking hate my job right now. :'(

I do and I can answer your questions. I was in consumer affairs for over 2 years specializing in behavior and medical issues. You can try, but probably wouldn't win. Food does not cause UTI's, infections, or any other kideny/urinary issues. There are foods that can help actually. If your cat has blood in it's urine it could be from many things. Struvite Crystals can be a cause and are not created from food (regardless of old wives tales about "ash" in food. Many cats are just prone to this problem by having a narrow urinary tract. Calcium Occilate Crystals is another one. Again food does not cause it. Kidney infections can cause blood and those type of infections are not food related. Also, could be kidney failure, especially if an older cat.
Have you taken the cat to a vet to get the issue looked at? If it turns out to be struvite, usually they will recomand a commercial (or vet diet) that is designed to acidify the urine. Get the cat to drink plenty of water will help as well. Try very cold water or ice water. Most of the UTI foods that you can buy over the counter are designed to acidify urine. If its Calcium crystals or other kidney issues, you'll have to treat and typically stay on a prescription diet designed for an animal with that issue to hopefully prevent issue from returning.
Don't get me started on GI/ Upset or other bowel issues. At least I'm no longer answering those calls and emails. You can only take so many calls about dog shit. ;D

It looks like I was mistaken, it's Meow Mix, we switched from Purina because my other cat was throwing up like every day. We did take the cat to the vet and he told us it was the food causing crystals and put him on that special food, which is damned expensive! Anyway, I'm not the suing type, I was half-joking about that part.
BTW, the fever was up to 103.4 this morning so my wife made me go to the ER. Turns out it's just strep but at least I know now.

Meow Mix used to be ours before Nestle bought us. Some foods just do not agree with some cats. I cannot feed my cat anything with the main protein source as fish or she vomits everywhere. Does great on poultry.
Again food per se will not cause crystlas. Some cats are just very prone to UTI's just as some humans are prone to them. A food that acidifys the urine will help those cats, hence the UTI formulas you see in the market place. Plenty of water helps dilute the PH also. Prescription diets are painfully expensive. I know ours is, but it is helpful and is really expensive to make because they are FDA regulated, use different ingredient sources, and are made in small batches. Hope the kitty is better.
Thanks for the info, Mike. He seems to be better. Haven't found any blood. I forgot the vet also gave him amoxicilin so the cat and i are on the same meds right now. I'm still bed-ridden and stir crazy!

Good deal. Well I hope you both fell better. Let me know if you need any other friendly pet advice. I probably would start a very slow switch over to a UTI formula (any major brand is fine mine would be preferable but any are good) to help reduce the chances of it ever happening again.

We just switched over all of a sudden. Should I mix some of the old food in? Thanks a lot for the advice and I swear I was joking about suing your company!

I know you were. Hell I joke about suing the place for making me sick. :P
Yes, sudden changes in diets for both dogs and cats when they are accustomed to a regular diet of the same food can be a shock. GI upset is typically what you'll see. We always recommended about a 10 day transition by starting with a small amount of the new mixed with the old and gradul increase the new and decrease the old. Always try to do a slow change when at all possible. Also, regardless of what commercials say, cats and dogs do not really crave variety (those damn marketing people). Frequent changes in the food tends to create picky eaters, especially in cats.

Could be worse I know, it could have been the flamming bag of dogshit on the door step. Any, my back is killing me, waiting for the 4 Ibruprofin to kick in.

$27.50 and over an hour of driving for a 70 minute Decemberists concert.
Wow, I spent more time driving to and from the show than the band played. Maybe thats why I'm so bummed after seeing a really good set.
Played a show last night with a turnout of four people. Two of them had left by the time I was on. Wound up basically playing for the bands that were there. Plus those two other people. Tuesday night gigs at small venues just don't work out, apparently.
Also, what's it take to get snuggled in this world? Just good and snuggled? Seriously people, c'mon.

Aw man, sorry to hear that. My band once did a show in Detroit on a Saturday night at an anarchist housing collective (if that makes any sense). The house was full of people when we got there and we ended up playing for two of the guys in one of the other bands. We often played for only a few people despite our best efforts to get people out to our shows. No wonder half our band stopped showing up most of the time.
fuck.

Haha, thank you bearass. That's ridiculously adorable.
WHY must idiots pervade my world? :-?
Nothing to do on a Saturday night. More the no one to see aspect of the nothing to do, but still.
I think I'm going to just start beating my head against the desk.
One of the guitar players in my band seems to think that our singer kicked him out, however, the singer has no recollection of this ever happening. Basically he didn't show up for practice several times, didn't learn the new songs, and is now claiming to have been given the boot.
Normally, yeah, it would make sense that he was kicked out. However, we're in a different situation. In the remainder of this band's existence, there are 3 shows plus our annual New Years Eve alcohol enhanced performance (where Eyes Unclouded becomes Eyes Intoxicated!). Come January 1st, the band will cease being the inactive clusterfuck that its always been and myself and the singer will live 500 miles away.
And because I don't think I've ever posted it here:

I don't really care if anyone reads this, I just feel a little better having gotten it off my chest.
It's 7:20 PM, and I'm already several pints in. It was a rough day. Not a good sign.
i feel like this Auto Bailout is a HUGE MISTAKE:
http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNews/idUSTRE4AD08120081118?sp=true
they should let these companies declare bankruptcy--i was for the original bailouts and buying up the bad debt but this is bad in the long run

I couldn't agree with you more. Let's just keep giving money to companies who have bad leadership.
Not so much bad leadership as much as the union sucking them dry. If they could file for bankruptcy, they'd be allowed to renegotiate union dues and hourly wage. Granted, I'm sure no one wants to see their pay come down from $75/hr, but seriously, that's around $150k a year for working in an auto-shop. I'm not going to make judgments on what is and isn't fair, because I'm in no boat to vote for lowering anyone's wages, but the union as a whole needs to pay attention to the resources of the company its people work for and also take into account the needs of its workers. That money could be spread a little more effectively through the company to keep it from sinking. If the bail-out goes through for these guys, it'll basically just give them more time to work with before filing chapter 11.
My dad works for Chrysler and sent a series of email about the 5000 upper level employees they're having to off because of the situation. He's not taking a severance package because he is ONE YEAR SHORT of getting any benefit from the packages they've offered, and so we're not entirely sure he'll have his job come January 1. We're relatively sure that he'll be okay, but it's still a little sweaty when there's not a 100% in front of that "sure".
Seriously though, it'd be nice to see these guys have the opportunity to file for bankruptcy, get their union shit straightened out and have another go at it.
It'd be nice if they had a chance to go FedEx with it, but I think the entire UAW would try to flip upside down over that one.

No. No chunks, just old.
Uncle sam took a chuck out of my ass big time!
First the state government, who promised to pay off my wife's graduate loans if she worked three years in a special needs classroom, reneged on their part of the promise despite the fact that she now has five years in. That leaves us with thousands of dollars of debt that shouldn't be ours. Can we break our promise to repay? No. So how can the state of Kentucky get away with that!?!
Then we get a letter from the IRS saying our income taxes were improperly filed (by H&R Bock, btw) due to these very same loans. So now we have to go through an "examination process" with the IRS and we'll likely owe well over a thousand dollars, which on a teacher's salary isn't just a drop in the bucket.
>:( >:( >:(
Damn, dude. That thoroughly blows. Sounds like it's time to "go off the grid".
Very sorry to hear that aMD. Man, that really f**king sucks!
Also on the bummer list, though not because the government's an asshole: I'll be spending Christmas alone.
What do you even do with Christmas day all to yourself in a town where all your friends have gone home for the holidays? Spike your own eggnog? Wrap empty boxes for under the Christmas Tree to make it look like you've got something good? Eat Santa's milk and cookies by yourself?
I'm trying to figure something out just so it doesn't have to be the most depressing holiday in the world to spend alone. Damn Borders is suckin' my travel abilities away, though.

You can't spend Christmas alone Tom! Where are your folks? How far away from them are you?
I've spent a few Christmases by myself but I was holiday so it was fun. Christmas by yourself (not by choice) has got to suck!
Whatever you do, make sure you get to a bar or restaurant & have yourself a Christmas dinner or something...
My dad lives about 5 hours away and my mom is 13 hours away. I'm sort of grounded in at work, though, but I'm going to promise them my hardest work before Christmas Day in exchange for a week off after the 26th so that I can go and celebrate a little late. Hopefully they'll work with me.
I'm sure everyone wants the holiday off, but they've got me working a half-hour shy of full-time status (full-time status meaning you get to take vacation. part-time you have to find someone to cover your shifts) so hopefully they'll work with me. I figure if I promise them my best (and they know me as a damn good seller), they'll help me out. It'd be awesome if i can get them to give me the week of Christmas off, but I think they'll probably need me too bad during then to be able to, and I'm okay with that if we can negotiate some time. It's just the fact that everyone is going to want time off or to be able to go home right during then. I think I offer them my work through the big day, they will hopefully be grateful enough for my sacrifice to return the favor. I'll need to start showing up on time on Saturday mornings though...
Tell you what Tom...take the fact that I know you here out of the equation for a minute - I bet 100% that you could sell me a book!
There's a real warmth to you friend & it shines through in every one of your posts & photos! & that beard?!! Shit, you could probably sell me a Jackie Collins novel on the strength of your face furniture alone!
Hope things work out for the holidays :)

Haha, why thank you.
I've also learned that, while sorority girls are already suckers for the "buy a book for the little dude spending Christmas in the hospital" book drive, I have some added virility on such book drives. In just two days (that's, ah, 10.5 hours behind a register), I've already sold 74 of those suckers. I ought to come close to 400 myself by the time we're done with this promotion, and the goal for the entire store is 1000. They might have to promote me based on book drive accomplishments alone...
Haha, shall I just go ahead and add the single hour of sleep I'm about to get before class and an 8 hour work day "tomorrow" to the top of the current complaints? Nothin' trumps my Christmas, but this'll make for an amusingly long Friday. Bring on the beer in about 12 hours. Good Lord.

I'm no stranger to long days and I've discovered that sitting down with a good beer at the end of it feels so incredibly good. Good luck!
I didn't think it was possible to hate my job anymore thn I normally do, but fuck me sideways, today sucked beyond believe. I'm glad I didn't have a heart or blood pressure moniter on as it probably would have broke. My BP had to be well over 200. Fingers were tingly, my eyes were burning, and I might have been slightly dizzy. That can't be good for me, right? I don't even feel like drinking. That's bad.

Just got the set times for our show tomorrow and we're playing 3 hours earlier than we were asked to play and for half as long.
I work with this woman (my age - about 26) who frequently makes comments about what I'm eating/drinking when she walks by my cube. If I have two cups of tea sitting there it's: 'Wow!! Thirsty?!?!' If I'm eating something at 10:15 it's: 'Hey there...little early for lunch?!!' Also, she likes to wrinkle her nose and say, 'What's that??' as she points to my plate.
One of these days she's going to lean her head into my cube and see this coming at her:

My bum knee is buggin me really bad. It actually has been since this spring but it's now to the point that doing any cardio work is excruciating, I've actualy stumbled walking down stairs recently (that might be the booze or old age :-/), and I cannot sit/stand on my knees. Going to the Doctor Saturday morning. I really hope it's not another surgery. This would be the 2nd in the last 3 years.

I've been wracking my brain for the past 24 hours trying to remember the lyrical idea I had imagined putting over a theme I've been working with. Thing is, I'm almost certain I had it come to me in a moment of clarity, but it could have very well been inside a dream. And now I don't know if it's actually there to find in my memory or if it's a challenge posed inside a dream. Either way, the idea needs to be made reality, just frustrating to have absolutely no idea where it came from, and if it's hiding somewhere back through my pages and pages of lyrics and journals or whether it's yet to be written. Freaking Twilight Zone.

OK, so I had a small project to do today that ended up being a big mess. The fucking assholes that owned this house before us had a bay window installed in the living room. It's always been cold in that room and I found out why. The idots didn't put one bit of insulation in the frame of the bay portion. We were going to go in and backfill with some 2"+ thick foam insulation when we discovered that the carcas was built is such a way that it was about 3 times bigger then it needed to be. I spent the rest of the afternoon fucking re-building a bay window. Now I'm cold, tired and my knee hurts worse.
Oh and I saw my doctor this morning. I have to get an MRI on the knee. He did some range of motion things and I heard him say, "Oh, your leg shouldn't do that." Dammit.
I should be reading Faulkner for class tomorrow night and I just don't feel like it.

During the week I do not get that luxury of the morning nap, so I am worn out by Saturdays. That's when I fit in a 3 hour nap if I can! :)

The 5 -6 hours at a time really is not that bad because it is usually very deep sleep. Exercise to insure that. We also run a 20 inch box fan on high at night to block any infringing train, traffic noise etc. Have a pattern of satisfying options of activities to do if you get up in the middle of the night so you do not feel like you are wasting your time. I would probably know every street and alley in downtown Athens if I were you... ;)

Hahahaha, I absolutely the love how shitty Nashville traffic is for absolutely no good reason at all. Atlanta traffic runs smoother than Nashville for some reason. It's like no one understands how to commute there or something. Still though, that's one of those quirky things you miss after you're gone, only because it's so damn ridiculous. Like 65 moving at 15mph southbound at the Demonbreun exit at 3pm on a Saturday. No sense whatsoever.

Tough thing about last night was that I was so tired that I had to stop reading, because the words weren't making sense. That and my legs were exhausted from working two long days in a row with about four hours sleep in between. Add on top of that that I accidentally took a 2.5 hour nap starting at 8:30 last night and you've got a miserable night of finally falling asleep at 6am, then waking up a 5pm this afternoon. So much for making sure that I went to my entire last week of classes.

The only time I really had problems with traffic in Nashville was Monday around 5pm, but I expected that. When we were driving down, it took like 4 hours to get through Kentucky. It was fun game of seeing how long it would to get to third gear.
There have been so many goddamn teen suicides over the past few months in the Charleston area (and I get a feeling it's not limited to that). Most of them seemed fairly normal, and a lot of my friends were close to them. I'm really at a loss for words right now.
For no apparent reason I've been sleeping in far too much for the past week or so (when I can). For example, today I didn't rise until shortly after 3. :-/

i would have to complain that even though they got the win today....it looks like the saints will miss the playoffs again. :'( im use to it though

Hey, Saints fan here too! We're still alive, so don't give up hope, plus we play Carolina at home the last game of the season if it comes down to that.
I bit my tongue so hard eating pizza earlier... so hard you can't even imagine.. (don't want to show a picture..everyone would be grossed out)... It hurts so bad... I am talking like I just got my tongue pierced. :'(

Same here. Perhaps everyone's a little busier with the holidays and whatnot.

Probably. I should definitely schedule this differently next time. I know now that I've got to time it so that it's not still going so close to the end of the semester.
When I moved out of my duplex in the summer of 2007, my friend, who doubled as roommate, gave me a small orange tree that he had grown from a seed from an orange that my Grandparents had sent us from Florida the winter prior. I was incredibly touched by this gift and I've been sad to see it not grow much the entire time I've had it. Recently it was looking like it was on the verge of death. However, yesterday when I looked at it, there was new growth all over the top of it! More growth than I've ever seen on it before, ever!
I think it heard that it's moving south and it got excited.
IT IS SO FREAKING COLD OUTSIDE!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck. Another day like today, I'm switching from Guinness and Vodka to crack or herione. I have never wanted to quit my job or go hurt someone as much as I did today. Probably a good thing my boss wasn't there. I would have yelled and probably try to fire her. :-/

You need to find a new job.
Another weird one. Not really sure where to put this, but I think we had a dreams thing in here the other day, so I'll post mine.
Last night I went to sleep for a little while and had this dream that I had asked my friend Caroline to crack my back (I have this weird crick next to my right shoulder blade that just needs someone to stand on it). But anyways, she does and that's awesome, but then she rubs my back and it's not a sexual thing at all, but that kind of touch that's absolutely electric because of all the love encapsulated in it. That kind of thrilling, first time you get close to someone feeling. Don't know how to describe it any better than that it sends electric goosebumps and flutters through you because of the way you'd hoped someone would know how to get close to you, and then there it is. And I guess we fell asleep right there or something. I briefly remember a next day, but then was woken up far too early by an intense need to pee.
Commence empty, hopeless romantic feelings for the rest of the day. I wish that would mean something. Six days til she makes her way to Athens. I have no idea if I should even wonder about expecting anything, but that dream screws with my head so badly.
You are correct Tom, there is no better feeling then that. Just go with the flow. If anything was destined to happen, it will so just be cool, relax, and enjoy.
So little sleep and so much to finish before 5pm tonight......
45 minutes of sleep spent on dreams I woke up angry from. Good friends and old girlfriends and trying to keep these things secret make for an angry Tom. I think my body was trying to wake me up.

For my wife actually. Air Canada have changed the fight schedule so she gets into Las Vegas @ 8pm something instead of 4pm something + she has to go via SF. I just bought her a direct flight with Philippine Air, hence more money.

I saw this really great looking guy tonight. Subtle, easy smile amid this fantastic beard. He walked out the door and I should have followed him after he smiled at me. I didn't and he was gone.
I hesitate too much. That's my complaint.

Sometimes all we need is a little confirmation that we're not barking up the wrong tree. No need to be straight up aggressive, but as a dude who's been smiling to a fair number of smiley ladies lately, I'm pretty sure all it'd take is a lip-bite or a wink or something quick and totally "I did not!" if questioned about it. At least that's what I'd suggest. We still like to pursue, even in the 21st century, we just take a little bit of a green light sometimes.

For the second, and hopefully last time this week, I briefly thought I had broken one of my thumbs at work.

Damn dude, already today? That's early.
QuoteMy bum knee is buggin me really bad. It actually has been since this spring but it's now to the point that doing any cardio work is excruciating, I've actualy stumbled walking down stairs recently (that might be the booze or old age :-/), and I cannot sit/stand on my knees. Going to the Doctor Saturday morning. I really hope it's not another surgery. This would be the 2nd in the last 3 years.
OK, so the results are back and they are not good. I have another appointment next week and more xrays/MRI's to find out what the hell is wrong. Something degenerative as the nurse said when they called to set the appointment. They wouldn't give me a lot of details but my Dr. office is always busy and it almost impossible to get an appointment without several weeks notice. I'm worried since they are getting me in so quick.

Actually, nevermind, it's not early in the week. Apparently it's Thursday and I had no idea. The whole week has felt like a giant blur.
I work the graveyard shift at Fed Ex. 31 months of working roughly 2:30-8am.
As for my thumbs, one no longer feels like there's hot nails being driven into the joint and no longer hurts. The other is stiff, swollen, and a little bruised. Good thing I have to go start recording bass tracks tonight... ::)

I love my '01 Corolla to death, but she has her faults. I bought the car, it came with an alarm system but no keyless entry. So I thought it would never be an issue. Well, my alarm went off today in the parking lot at school, and there was nothing I could do to fix it. I've searched all over the web for a cure but can't find this goddamn "valet/override" switch that keeps getting mentioned. I was trying to go home tomorrow after my last exam, and unless it resolves itself, I'll here at least a few more days. Damn you Toyota!
it is 11:22 pm and i am still at work.
harumph.
silver lining: am going home to house guests and wine and i have a late start tomorrow. so there's that. ;)

Weather forecast for the St Louis are isn't looking good. Sunday it's supposed to get up to about 65 then within minutes drop below freezing. They're expecting winds clocking in at 65 knots. Freezing rain and snow for Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Lovely, just f'n lovely. This happened a few years ago and crippled the area. Good thing I trimmed some trees back and the powerlines to my house are underground. :-/

HA, I didn't even think of that. Brilliant!
Previous experience tells me that being up for 20+ hours before starting to drink causes the night to end abruptly, and poorly. Unfortunately, I'm not tired. I guess I can lay in my bed, pretend to sleep and hope that I can fake myself out.

Almost knocked myself out while I we were out drunk sledding. Turns out I can't roll over the top of a fence and expect to land on my feet. Everyone around me said they felt me hit the ground. One of those moments where everything instantly turns into a flash of lights accompanied by an intense burst of pain everywhere.
I also got kicked off a snowboard while riding down the hill and despite the scrapes and bruises on my arm from that, I thought it was hilarious.
I'm not looking forward to waking up in the morning with a body that hurts.
Quotedrunk sledding.
Bad combination--I ran shoulder-first into a tree stump doing that a long time ago.
Its not New Years Eve yet...

i don't know, man, not the way i plan on living my life.
obviously this is a priviledged perspective, but i'll never let myself be miserable with life. the way i see it is that i'm stuck right now - i'm not physically even my own person right now. i'm stuck here living at home with my crazy fucking family and i just gotta "DO" in order to get anywhere. and that's fucked up. that shouldn't be teh way me, a seventeen year old high school student, thinks. why should i focus my life on succeeding when i don't even want to succeed in what i'm workin so hard in?
i don't know - lifes only hard because we make it that way. we shouldn't have to be driven by anything we don't want. and yeah, you gotta pay the bills, but i think i'd be happy enough paying the bills just barely and living at least as comfortably as possible...
i'm not gonna let myself have a shitty job and if i'm ever in that kind of state, i'm just gonna quit and find something else. life sucks enough, why add more?
and yes i understand this is from a perspective of "i've never worked on my own and i'm funded by my family and they feed me dinner and i don't even understand the concepts of "bills" yet". and you (the general "you") should understand that to, and try to understand the root of what i'm saying, even if you don't agree.
whatever, i guess i'm kinda bumming. and just kind of want to be happy. and do what i want.
i thinkk i'm at the point in my life that i have to make some serious decisions - where am i going to college? more importantly, why am i going to college? how am i supposed to go to college when i feel so miserable every day that i dont want to do anything but lay in my bed and pet my kittens and eat ice cream and watch king of the hill and six feet under? how am i supposed to go to a new place where i don't know anyone, break up with my boyfriend, be in a new city that i dont even understand the transportation system, and be okay?
it wont happen. i wont be happy. i'm going to take a year off, but my family wont let me, and i wont have the money to move out of the house, but that's all i need to do.
please. why can't someone else do this shit for me? why can't i just be a bear and be in hibernation? why do i have four essays and one brief to write? why does it have to be monday tomorrow and why have i not done any holiday shopping? AND WHY DOES MY TUMMY HURT?!!!

Well I had more xrays and probing and poking for my knee. The good news is the tear I had is still repaired a couple years ago is fine. However the cartilage is significantly worn down. No surgery needed, but it's just gonna bother me. Take pills and ice was all the told me that can be done. F'n welcome to middle age I guess.

i feel yer pain w/the knees--i've been taking that glucosamine-chrondroitin on and off for years (although you can just take the glucosamine) to build up cartilage (or soften the pain at least) you can buy this stuff at CVS or target or walmart, etc---it's the only way i've been able to keep running distance. it really helps, though :-)

From what I've seen on TV, most doctors are goofy and have inner monologues that I'm sure they would be willing to share with you.

My mother lived with MS for 30 years or so before passing this year as a result of complications of the disease at a very young age. MS is a strange disease that has profoundly different effects for different people and can be very difficult to diagnose. Numbness in different parts of the body is a symptom that my mother had often.
That being said, don't mentally give yourself MS. Numbness can be a sign a of a million less serious things. I'm often numb around midnight and have no idea how I get that way. Don't be a "I don't do doctors" person. Many doctors suck, but many don't. Shop around, find one you like, try a D.O. versus and M.D. Almost anything can be handled these days.
right - i guess it's just that my parents are both doctors and they get all stressed and diagnose me with anything cos they're anxious and crazy.
anyway, i think i'll be find. it comes and goes. i think i may have just pinched a nerv.e

Thanks Meg. Aleve and vodka. always a good combo.
If this snow doesn't give it a rest soon I'm worried my flight to NY will be cancelled. :-/ :-/ :-/ If I don't get to the NYE show there's gonna be some SERIOUS complaining in the future. I'm just warning y'all.
Also, I've been holed up so long that I'm perilously low on bourbon and haven't had any wine in almost a week. Good lord! A week I say!!! :o :o

It started snowing again this morning, went out ot my car at lunch and cleaned about 4 inches off. Got an additional 2 inches on it already. A normal commute is about 1/2 hour, tonite it could take up to an hour and a half. I hope I can blast my little camry thru the burm at the end of my driveway that the snowplows created. Thank god for my John Deere Snowblower. It's old, it sounds like a harley and blows like Monica Lewinsky. I can shoot a rooster about 50' into the air. Anyway, thats enough bitchin about winter. It's gonna be 48 degrees saturday with a chance of a thunderstorm. It's gonna make for a slushy fuckin mess. Thank goodness I have 2 nites of musical bliss to enjoy this weekend at the Chicago Theater.
Amen, my brother!
I just landed a D in a course I need a C in to graduate. Here's to two semesters of English 3000. I guess that's what I get for breaking someone's heart the day before classes started, eh? Here's to the most ridiculous semester I've been a part of. Hear, hear! Seriously, I probably shouldn't assume that I can work 25 hours a week at Borders and get A's in 15 hours worth of classes next semester, right?
I went to the Pens game last night and they played terrible. They were shut out for the first time this season. >:(

(oh don't think I didn't start to notice when he started not hanging out about a six weeks ago and spending more and more time with her while telling me has was just swamped. What. In. The. Fuck. GET ME OUT OF ATHENS!!!!!!!!!!)
THats a tricky situation, but remember that you broke up with her.
True true, but isn't there some sort of guy's rule where you don't do this sort of thing without first asking, rather than letting the other guy sit around suspect things for nearly two months first?

Yes, your "friend" violated the guy code. Sorry bud, yeah I think you need to get out of Athens if for anything to give you a clearer head and view on things. Sometimes a fresh start is the best medicine.
Oh, and how did your Xmas Date/Hookup from craigslist go?
tom, best to just let it go. he probably realized there was no good time to tell you they were dating.
best to not get involved in the "new couple" dynamic, anyway.
Sheesh, I posted that literally right after he told me. Sorry for the impulsive angriness of that business.
I'm just going to stay away from that. I don't understand how he thinks being "really good" friends will work out during that, and I don't think I'm going to put either of us through it to try. Talked to my mom last night to try and cool off and she made a pretty good point in that, if he isn't going to have listened to everything I said when things fell apart in August, then that's on him and he can figure it out in his own time. I think she used the term "if he's dumb enough to date her..." somewhere in there. Moms kick ass.
Anywho, the date thing didn't turn out. Turns out nothing's open in Athens on Christmas? Hrmmph. Wasn't too bad anyway. Slept in til five. Pretty good day except for the news at the end, whatever. Not pissed today, just a little wtf'd at it.
Bought Oracular Spectacular today though, so everything is pretty good!
;)
I couldn't play this little 8th note run on my bass today. I'd been playing for several hours and the song is around 200 BPM. I guess thats what I get for trying to sweep pick without a pick.

Sorry Tom, I wasn't trying to come off a brash. It is best to let it go though. He either isn't really your friend or didn't really know hoe to tell you. I'd talk to him about it.
An old acquaintance from high school died this morning. We weren't close but he was a cool guy.
I'm not at the Chicago show. Couldn't make the rescheduled dates. So incredibly bummed - and am trying really, really, really hard not to feel sorry for myself right now.
My cat just made me feel like the most gigantic bastard for trying to cut his claws. Guy freakin' needs it, too.

Tom is clearly in need of a hug this week.
watching the Cal v UM game and the booze is running out :D ;D
QuoteTom is clearly in need of a hug this week.
Probably belongs in the Joys thread, but I'm visiting family tomorrow through Thursday, so I'll get some hugs finally! Woo!
I'm going to be rather hungover in the morning, or whenever it is when I wake up tomorrow. Too early, either way.
it is literally 85 degrees in the office. i don't understand why people here feel the need to turn the heat up to goddamn 85 degrees. if you're cold at 72 degrees, then bring a jacket or coat to wear and please, for the love of god, leave the office thermostat alone. jeeeesus.
but, then again... only three more weeks of this shit then i am out. i guess that sort of negates this complaint, but still. i hate being in a hot room.

Highway was pretty empty this AM. Flew in doing 80 with Oko playing load. :o
The highway into Boston was super empty too this morning. Which was good because I woke up about 15 min late, and yet I made it to work early. Traffic Hell will return on Monday I'm sure.
The intense pain from the shingles I have! OMG this is worse than childbirth.
my right ear is being weird and it's got me quite scared. when i awoke yesterday i first noticed it and it hasn't gone away yet. it's not an after-concert ring or an earache, and it's not painful, but it's like it's ringing without the ring though. or something. cotton ball in the ear and no listening to music has me bummed out.
:( :-/

May be tinnitus. Got it from a RHCP concert several years ago and have protected my ears ever since. Is it like a clicking or popping?

judging by what webmd tells me, it sounds plausible. it seems to have gone down a little today, here's hoping it's gone for good (or just a buildup of earwax!) asap.
thanks! and i'll let you know how things go.

there's been ridiculous pressure in my ear all evening. i have to kinda jiggle my finger in it every thirty or seconds or so to release it. i'm afraid it's ménière's because i had quite a lot of caffeine at work today and my first glass of wine in a long time tonight and as it stands right now, this is the most discomfort i've experienced in the five or so days my ear's been bothering me.
i'll sleep when i'm dead, indeed. that's totally been my mantra for the past few days.

you gettin the vertigo business, though? now that I read the description, I knew someone with that business and it sucked mightily, but the vertigo is essential to being diagnosed, I think. Was there anything you did the day before this came on that might have some sort of role in it?
I am wide awake. Thanks, nap!

not exactly vertigo, but i did have a little bout of dizziness a few hours ago. i currently have a small ball of cotton in my ear right now and the fluctuating pressure is seemingly under control. i'm extremely curious as to what tomorrow will bring.
i was at a concert a few days before this sprung up and another evening i walked home when it was damn cold. the concert wasn't loud and that walk home was a few days before this came out of nowhere, so yeah. here's hoping this prescription kicks in (i just started it today) and cures what's ailing me.

Getting FUCKED over by Expedia & Air Canada.
I bought a return flight from Las Vegas - Vancouver - Tokyo - Nagoya.
Air Canada, without notice, changed the start of the return flight from Las Veags to LA...I'm not in LA!!! I didn't buy a ticket from LA, I bought a ticket from Las Vegas, can they even do that?!!
When i complained they then changed the flight to Las Vegas - San Francisco - Vancouver - Tokyo - Nagoya! 4 stops!!!
I can get a refund if I want one but it will take 3 months to process & because of the current finical situation I end up losing out on 100s of dollars.
Why is getting the the US so difficult every year? FUCK!!! >:( >:( >:(
Damn, I'm sorry dude. I think in this environment airlines can pretty much do anything. I'd say fly to Mexico and sneak in? Seems to be easy as it apparently happens all the time. I'll buy extra drinks in Memphis to ease the burden.

forgot to update everyone on my left ear situation: it's resigned itself to a slight ache as opposed to being scary and filling with pressure. the ache is seemingly getting smaller and smaller, here's hoping it's gone for good in the next few days. i seriously think the extreme cold did a number on it.
thanks for the concern folks! :)

QuoteI don't understand why fat people can't keep their ass crack covered...is it that hard. This is my current complaint. :P
Some of us aren't even that fat and have trouble. It has to do with the ass to crack to pants ratio, which is difficult, as it finds itself defined as a three part ratio. We'll call the pants the control in this equation, because they're unaffected by the ass/crack ratio. The ass' job is to fill said pants, while the proportion of the crack will play iin after said pants are filled. Not enough rear means low-falling pants, and, regardless of the ass crack length, there will inevitably be a bit of a coin slot. More crack merely furthers the slot, and vice versa. Small rears are sometimes lucky, but can even incur the "Coin Slot Syndrome" upon themselves if the wrong shape or, again, lengthy crack present themselves in the situation. However, a relatedly tragic event occurs when the proper proportion of ass is presented to the proper proportion of pants with an unproportionately long ass crack. In this event, there's absolutely no helping the bearer of the rear. There will be coin slot. Such is the harshest of ass realities.

I live in Western KY and know several that still don't have power (since last Tuesday night). I got electricity back on Saturday afternoon, so I can't complain. There are tons of utility poles snapped off at the ground out in the rural areas, so those people could be without power for a while...

No. The two storms we got hit with were the two worst storms (as far as power outages) in the history of the state. We got more snow this year than in the past 4 or 5 years combined. I'm sure it's nothing compared to what Walt and Kaley have to deal with, but I'm definitely ready for Spring!

The open MRI's are not too bad.

face - you can usually have a valium beforehand. do ask.
this is trivial and silly, but...
i really want a westie of my own. before moving to AL, i took care of my sister's westie while she was at college. i miss that dog so much, and i want a westie of my own. like, i really, really, REALLY want one. but i would feel guilty buying a purebred puppy when there are so many others that need a good home. also, i work long hours, and i would feel guilty leaving any dog alone that much.
i'm just not at a place in my life where i would be the kind of owner a dog deserves. i'm always busy; my house is small... but man, i really want a westie.

i guess i'm just missing sammy (my sis' dog) these days. isn't it strange how close you can get to a pet?
I hear ya, meg. I walked through our local humane society the other day and it was like torture...I wanted to take all the puppies home with me! But I know I'm not settled enough to be a good dog owner right now.
When you're ready, though - maybe try Westie rescue?

As I believe PennyLane said in some other thread...LOVE STINKS!!!! I feel like I lost the love of my life. I mean she's not necessarily gone for good, but she's at least gone for now and she might be gone for good, so that's bad enough. And why do I take break-ups so hard? I'm a dude. I'm not supposed to care. I'm just supposed to go find some other girl and not give a shit, right? I know this isn't true but it's the common perception anyway. I've been in the same pattern for years. I have no problem getting a girlfriend, but I can't keep a girl's interest for more than a year. It sucks. I guess I could look on the bright side and say that none of them were meant to be, but F*** that, I'm gonna be a sad bastard for awhile. Or at least drink a lot ;D :'(
trying to quit smoking seems impossible for me. how did i become addicted? this is fucked up.
both my legs are numb and they hurt so terribly and it feels like they are being hit by lightning.
I returned from camping at the beach to find out that yesterday Victoria errupted in the worst bushfires in it's history. So far 50 people have died (many in their cars, trying to escape the flames).
My parents live in the bush, thankfully they're out of harms way (thus far) however my brother's girlfriends grandparents lost their home... it's horrifying.
The pictures are hard to believe... and the fires are still burning all over the state. Bloody scary.

I used to work in the Emergency Services, and this is no doubt the worst disaster they would have ever had to deal with (at least since Ash Wednesday). Here's hoping everyone gets out safely.

my current complaint is the need to possess a degree. i almost went ahead and withdrew from this semester this morning. been thinking about it a LOT lately, so that I can just go ahead and work all i need to without worrying at all about school. i'm pretty tired of cranking out academic bullshit about topics I'm not interested enough in to write papers about. God, if I could just finish out my year with courses in The New York School or Modernist poetry, or Futurism or anything 20th century I'd be stoked as shit. The Graphic Novels course I'm in is cool, but I'm currently procrastinating on writing a paper about Hothead Paizan: Homicidal Lesbian Terrorist. And as intriguing as it sounds, my creativity bone has pretty much atrophied in the last few months. Senioritis indeed. I feel like I'm redefining the concept right now.

actually wound up dropping a couple courses this afternoon to lighten my workload, this being one of them. I'll graduate a semester later, but I won't be taking four English courses at a time to get finished. Upper level English will really take it out of a guy, and I figure I can better focus on a smaller number of courses at a time, so why not just take an extra four months to graduate well, rather than graduating quickly. Plus, dropping this course gives me the ability to not only take a creative writing course this may, but I get to take that course with my favorite professor, so I'm pretty jazzed about that. Wait a minute, this is turning into a current joy...

There are a lot of people I know that have also just found out that they have cancer. Keeping all of them (including your friend) in my prayers right now.
Also, I'm feeling a bit woozy, and mi madre has taken that to mean that I'm sick and must stay home. Frankly, though, makeup work is a bitch.

Today the proper response to this thread is yes.
Not able to make the trip to Da'Ville this evening to see the Windbreaker show. But have requested a setlist so might be able to post later.
Tom,
This is so well written. Truly. Unfortunately, it's not the genre required for this paper. It's not that it's bad—writing is so clearly easy for you—it's just that it doesn't contain the elements necessary for a critical/philosophical argument. And, let's be fair—there's not an attempt to even make a specific argumentative claim here. I don't want to criticize you for doing something weakly when I don't have anything to work off. A lot of what is here is impressionistic, response—it's like turning in a beautiful editorial when you were contracted for a piece of investigative journal. Great work, just not the work that this assignment requires.
Plus, it's a full page short.
Next time: make a specific, arguable claim, back it up with continued analysis and strong argumentation. Let your beautiful prose work for you—it doesn't have to be sidelined. The best philosophers, intellectuals—the make claims, they make strong arguments—but the language is equally inspired. Don't think of it as an either/or, it can—nay, should—be both.

FINAL GRADE: 60
---------
Shit.
Plus, I can't figure out whether to feel really complimented or somewhat peeved? If I wrote a good paper, give a little leeway? No?
Your Prof def seems like a stickler which sucks. I dont know if this was your first major paper or not with this prof, but I usually judge the prof based on class and being strict on assignments and such. Obviously I dont know the details of your paper or the assignment, but I do understand his angle if your paper was off point and didnt address the main argument. That said, if he/she thought it was good, I would think you would at least get a C.
I enjoy writing a lot more than studying/test taking, but 1 of the biggest things that sucks is something like this. Your hear what the Prof is initially looking for or something, the idea is primed in your head and fantastic, but for whatever reason it doesnt fit the criteria of the paper, etc. Ive been there man, except I typically suck it up and write what I think the prof is going for instead of what I want to write exactly. Its a tough ship to keep steady, but at least you threw the chum in the water [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
What was the assignment?
I'm just amazed that you didn't write enough. Never making a specific point seems about right though.
Sorry, Tom. Couldn't help myself. In seriousness, I wouldn't feel complimented or peeved, I'd take this constructive criticism for what it's worth and try to learn from it.

True. I don't know if you have that problem too, but I once got something similar from one of my profs, and I wouldn't have bothered me at all if it hadn't been such an important grade. But if that's not the case, don't bother too much, what he wrote was quite positive, apart from that "no specific point" :)
I got some stupid stuff going on at university too, if I want to continue with my 2nd study philosophy, I have to pay about 500€ per semester, which isn't that much, but it's still annyoing.
Then, I wanted to buy loads of books today and I kinda failed because the stores didn't have most of the ones I wanted. So I went to buy CD's, failed again, same reason.
Edit: I don't have any idead what "final grade:60" means, but I guess it's not that good
QuoteI'm just amazed that you didn't write enough. Never making a specific point seems about right though.
;D ;D ;D Good one aMD!
But seriously, I would take it as both a big fat compliment and a big fat fire under my ass! Cuz he's right, you're clearly talented. :-*
QuoteWhat was the assignment?
Shoosh, I pulled it up and it's:
Write a 5-7 page college paper that either uses the arguments that Sidney makes in defense of poetry to defend one of the assigned poems by Shelley, or that uses the arguments that Shelley makes in defense of poetry to defend one of the assigned poems by Sidney, or that uses both Sidney's and Shelley's arguments to defend one of the assigned poems by either poet. In any case, you should feel free to add your own, carefully-reasoned arguments in defense or in critique of poetry in general or of your poet in particular. You should also feel free to argue that your poem does not conform to Sidney's or Shelley's definitions of poetry, whether because the poem lacks some essential quality or because the definitions themselves are limited. If you pick this later argument, however, make sure that you include counter-arguments or oppositions and that you offer a new definition of poetry to replace the one you critique (or else mount an argument that we don't need a definition at all). You could also consider using Sidney in the main body of your argument and concluding with Shelley.
So I took Shelley's "England in 1819" and used Sidney's "Defense of Poesy" to tear into it and examine whether or not Sidney would have conceived is as good or effective poetry. I suppose the trouble comes in the fact that I didn't pull in any quotes from Sidney, but I did use him extensively. Which makes it frustrating.
The class is supposedly the introduction to the study of English, and this is the second time I'm attempting it. I made a D in it last semester. I think there's a mix of apathy and a firmly rooted knowledge that, now in my fourth semester of upper level work with this school, I have never encountered assignments in my 4000-level courses that have been this specific. They want us to get a feel for upper level work by deciding exactly what our topics will be? That actually turns out to be
more difficult than having to craft your own thesis for a course you don't care about. Thing is, I've had this TA last semester, and
she (sorry about the androgynous name, guys) has told me that she sees me as a strong writer before. She may expecting more out of me than I'm willing to put in because of that, but if being into my fourth semester of 4000 level work and I still can't write a paper that my TA sees as passing, where are all the first semester juniors at?
I think the aim of this course is to weed out the people who don't want to be in the major. I don't really care for the major any more, but I would like to fuckin graduate without taking a full five years to do so.
End rant. Sorry.
aMD, she hasn't even come
close to experiencing my verbosity. Maybe I'll give her a 12 pager next time around.
Bumbeli: The final grade is a 60 out of 100, or a D by US standards. One point lower and that would be an F.

there's your answer.
I got weeded out of the course just from reading your post. The notion of "arguin' 'bout poetry" turns my latte cold...
but to each, his own.
(BTW, I think that was your longest post during actual daylight hours; my people are still running some tests and crunching the numbers, but confidence is high that you just set your all time character max with an authentic daytime post. This is huge.)
Wow. Arguing about poetry has got to be pretty damn nebulous. What were your arguments?
QuoteWow. Arguing about poetry has got to be pretty damn nebulous.
Egggggsactly.
I'll take another look at it when I'm not in class (or maybe later this hour...we'll see...) and see if I can figure what went wrong. I thought it was a prett decent paper, though? Especially if it's for the first assignment, you'd imagine there'd be a little more leeway? Hmmm...
And Tracy, should we mark it on the calendar? I'm pretty impressed with myself...
Posted it on my 'blog' in case anyone was interested enough to read it (not expecting you to, but it's up here if you're curious): http://pirateradiosermon.blogspot.com/
Mmm, yeah...you know how I said I enjoy writing papers more than studying earlier? Well Id rather take 3 exams in 3 days then right a paper on which poet's dick is longer.
No wonder you find you 4000-level courses hard though, bc at Penn State all I needed was 400-level courses. Youre school must be hardcore :D

Not a bad way to be!
I wish I could write. I failed the easiest class in high school history due to my lack of wanting to write and my lack of coming to school. Current Events was the class and every other week or so we'd have to write a paper on a topic given to us by the teacher. The teacher was great, but he subjects were to me, "unwriteable." So once he told us we had one week to write a 3 page paper about the history of the county we lived in. I ended up smoking a bunch of pot the Sunday night before it was due and decided I'd much rather listen to the White Album with headphones in the complete darkness of my room than write about his subject. So around '...Bungalow Bill' I decided to start writing about the White album. I ended up writing 6 pages while listening to the album three times and smoking about 3 joints. I was so excited to go to school in a few hours and let my friends read what I thought was the greatest thing to ever come out of my head. The few people that actually read it all the way through loved it. My teacher however, even though he was cool did not. I never did a read over or anything before I turned it in. I just wrote what I thought as I thought. I didn't realized that I had included information about me smoking weed in the paper. So, for a week or so while the teacher graded the papers I'd get weird looks in class and stuff. The day when he finally gave the papers back I was excited to get my paper back so I could re-read what I had written. Instead of getting my paper back I got a piece of his paper back explaining why I got a 0 on the paper. I asked for my paper back at the end of class but he said that he threw it away.
I like to think that he kept it so that he could read it again while he enjoys some green. ::)

Can I go ahead and tell you that this sounds beyond familiar?
One of my recent papers got a 75 for going "off-topic" (going into division and classification when it needed to be a definition essay). In her notes on the side, she told me it should be in the literary magazine. :-? Ditto for my description essay: she insisted that i was wandering into narration. Those were admittedly my fault (I was having too much fun with them), but I know where you're coming from.
Lets see.....I have to buy a brand new ladder due to mine breaking. Unfortunaly it broke, while I was standing on the next to top step cutting branches. Nothing like landing with a solid thud on top of a dwarf rose bush, with broken bits of ladder rung poking you in places you really do not want to be poked, the ladder spliting in half and sort of wrapping itself around you, and having cedar needles rain down into your face just before the branch you were cutting lands on your chest. I'll have to post pics of the mangled mess. Its a wonder I didn't get hurt other then a nice bruise on one of my calves and my back being slightly tight.

Ouch, sounds painful. Why not just ask a neighbor to borrow 1 instead of buying a new one? Then again, they probably dont want you breaking their ladder ;D
Damn dude. Glad that bush was there, though, otherwise we'd have a hurt as fuck MJK on our hands.
Thankfully it's not as bad as the fall I had last spring. Not the kinda bush I want to land into but thats a different story all together.

Stupid f'n ladder. I fell because it broke off on one side. a 200 lb dude and a wooden ladder that is coming apart isn't a good combo. The human body can do some damage to things. The shattered part is from where my ass hit it.

Go do something that demands a lot of attention, and whatever you do, do not drink. It makes me such a whinie little boy, the only thing I'd do would be complain and/or do stupid things (Then again, mb alcohol cheers you up)

I just had the shittiest day of school I've had in a LONG time. Usually my work-related stress is caused mostly by adults, but today the kids were OFF. Let's just say I had four people tell me they're praying for me and two offer me a zanax. I hope it kicks in soon. >:(
QuoteWatch this, it'll cheer you up atleast a little bit:

(you might bury it all deep down inside)
Then, I'd go to sleep. I don't know why you feel so bad, but when I feel like shit, the best thing I can do is not to think about it, imagine how it could have different, if I had done something wrong, this would just tear me down. Go do something that demands a lot of attention, and whatever you do, do not drink. It makes me such a whinie little boy, the only thing I'd do would be complain and/or do stupid things (Then again, mb alcohol cheers you up)
I tend to read/talk to my dog and listen to music or do some sports.
And one Pearl Jam quote:
No matter how cold the winter, there's a spring time ahead.
I love that video, is there anyway I can save it?
"Thumbing My Way" is such a great fuckin' song too. I just love the mellow Pearl Jam songs.
I'm wide awake and it's morning, 6am to be exact. I went to bed less than 4 hours ago. The icing on the cake is the lack of food in the apartment.
thanks for the kind words, friends! i'm feeling better today.

Today is the last day of summer.... :'(
I was going to sell my car in the upcoming week. My sister (who has been in and out of jail...real bad egg) got drunk 2 nights ago, stole my car, wrecked it all up and got a DUI. I WANT TO CHOKE HER.

Rehab on Monday. Probably jail for 1 year since this is her 4th DUI.. Hopefully it teaches her something..
If I learned something in my past 20 years on earth, it's that people never learn. Nevertheless, I hope everything works out for you and your sister and that she gets away from all that "jail stuff"
Ohhhhhhh, sorry Ghostess. I hope things work out for everyone involved.
a. My dogs woke me up at 6:32 am;
b. The forecast is calling for 9-12" of snow;
c. I have a stomach ache from drinking too much coffee.

There was an earthquake in Melbourne tonight, 4.6 on the richter scale, which I'm assuming is pretty moderate.
Of course it had to happen when I was on the train back to the country for the weekend. I'm kinda bummed I missed it.
Heatwave, deadly bushfires, wind storms and now an earthquake so far this year... I think we've had enough now, nature.

It's not a current complaint. More a current sadness but I didn't feel like starting a new thread.
My dad died on Tuesday.
He was the coolest person I know. I always said, "Dad's cooler than Keef Richards."
He really loved music and yes, he liked MMJ too. Golden was hands down his favourite MMJ song. The first time he heard it he told me he'd by the whole album just to hear that song and it usually took dad a while to like something.
I was playing guitar on Sunday and I started playing Runnaway by Del Shannon and my sister and my dad started singing. Then I played Ruckus, Same In Any Language and he laughed cause I was trying to impersonate Jim James.
I listened to Ruckus today but I don't think I could handle Golden just yet.
So if you're reading and you feel like it, play him a song. I'm sure he'd appreciate it.
Serena.
sorry weenie :'(
Very sorry for your loss, beenie. Sounds like he was a wonderful person.
Sorry for your loss, Serena.
I'm sorry for your loss wb.
so sorry weenie. hang int here---you'll be able to hear Golden again someday and think of all the good times w/your dad.

Sorry for your loss Serena. I tend to avoid the current complaints thread, so I just read this. Hang in there. I think it's wonderful that you were so close to your dad and he meant so much to you. Try to focus on the great moments you had together. Those will never go away. He lives on in you.

So I'm on season 2 of The Wire and I just noticed i've been skipping past entire scenes. When I watch an episode of a show on DVD I usually skip over the opening credits, I just realized that with The Wire it doesn't take you to the start of the next scene. Should I just watch season 1 over again? Should I only watch the beginning of every show again?
QuoteSo I'm on season 2 of The Wire and I just noticed i've been skipping past entire scenes.

Fuck, should I just watch season 1 over again? Fuck!
First off, the theme song is sweet and changes each season so why worry about losing a minute?!
2nd, I dont know. I really cant remember how much stuff wouldve gona on in the first "scene", which probably in a few episodes did matter and may have been like 10 minutes.
Unless you seem to be confused about something, Id just say keep rolling on. I think like I mentioned before, just watch all of those "previously on" parts before the episode, and you should be fine. I'd assume anything you might have missed will be addressed in that segment.
...also, last week listening to DVE in the morning they were talking about St. Patty's Day and the saturday celebration. Either Jim or Randy brought up the Market Square area and how its crazy and theyd never bring their family there under any circumstance - and compared it to Hamsterdam - which I just realized you havent gotten to that yet in Season 3, but I guarantee it will crack you up ;D

I know I like the song, I like that Wait's version is on this season. I just got in a habit of doing that. It's a little more than a minute that I've been missing.

Oh, I know. Im saying the theme song is only like a minute, but depending on the episode, that 1st scene might be anywhere from 2-10 minutes.
I'd still just keep going episode to episode watching the "previously on" parts. You figured out you missed a couple things, you'll be cool from here on out.
and FYI, I dont know if you really like or dislike season 2 compared to season 1, but if there is 1 season out of all 5 that stands out as most different, its season 2.
at first I didnt like 2 nearly as much as 1, but in retrospect, its a really good season.
Oh geez! I found out today that my favorite NM restaurant shut down :'( this is a bummer.

Remember that awesome cat that I posted pictures of and still love so much? I don't know what's got into the guy, but he's taken to peeing in the corner of our living room. We've been cleaning it up and trying to figure out how to proceed, but then he pulls the kicker on me. I was about to give him up a couple weeks ago to somebody who was going to be home more, maybe with some well-behaved kids so that he could be a lot more socialized and loved on -- don't get me wrong, I'm home a lot and love on him a ton when I'm here, but I don't think it's the hours he likes and he's still never stopped roaming the house meowing at night.
Anywho, so I thought we were making headway and that he was about done with this corner. So I get home tonight, say "Hey cat" and rub his head, hop on my computer and look over to see him pulling the crouch on my bed. Right in the center. Luckily he didn't nuke my comforter (which he's pretty much already cashed with cat hair, but that's a sacrifice I'm okay with making for this guy), but he did leave a giant puddle in my sheets up near my pillows (which he also missed, thank God).
So I run him out of the room, get pretty irritated with him because, seriously, why would you do that, cat? and throw all the bedding materials in the wash. I come back upstairs after we get over this, take a nap for a bit (during which there are animal snuggles, I'm not going to hate on the guy too prolongedly for a one-time offense), get up and back on the computer, look over to watch him hop up on the bed, return to almost exactly the same spot, look me in the eyes and start to pull the crouch again. I dive across the room, sufficiently freak him out before he's gotten more than a drop out and throw him outside. He's not an outdoor cat, but he's a meaty dude and has all the necessary equipment to handle himself and stay warm (it's not very cold out, either.).
After a bit I bring him back in, figure he's learned his lesson, and talk to him sternly making a good deal of eye contact. He knows something's up, here. He disappears for a bit and I go upstairs, come back down and find him perched atop out cabinets. I talk to him a bit, coax him back down, rub on him, establish what looks like a little normalcy, and go to the laundry. He turns the corner, so I check just to see what he's up to, and he's now busy spraying a new corner, not the one he used to go for.
The stupid son of a bitch. I've never been mad like this, not mad at him for peeing in the corner, but pissed because I love this cat, but I have absolutely no idea what to do to keep him from doing this in my house, which pretty much necessitates me giving him up, which frustrates me so bad, because we've had such a cool attachment. He's acting absolutely ridiculously over the past couple days and it's as if he's almost at odds with me over something. Thing about it is, I can't afford to let him ruin my carpet in several places as well as putting my bed and comforter at risk, and, since a couple weeks ago with the corner didn't cement things down, tonight pretty much did. He's out on the front step now, and I'm packing him up and taking him down to PetSmart where they have the Saturday morning kitty adoptions tomorrow. I'd imagine I can probably find someone responsible there who maybe has a more active home where he'd integrate better and be socialized with other cats more (I'm the first home he's lived in without another cat, and he's over three years old, so this could be one of the primary problems here).
Aggggh, this sucksucksucksucks, but I absolutely can't afford to have to replace all my downstairs carpet when I move out because of this little guy.
Such a horrible feeling. There will someday be a cat for me, but this guy just cut his days with me short. Stupid cat (and I mean that in the most affectionate heart-broken way possible).

Hey Tom, have you tried looking up some stuff on the internet for this kind of behaviour? I've never owned a cat so I'd have no clue (although my dog has started acting the same way but he's usually an outside dog anyway). Maybe something changed in his routine.
Perhaps you could talk to a vet about it.
Hey Tom, sorry you're having trouble. Our female cat used to do something similar but it was only when there were other cats around. It was pretty frustrating and the smell is just horrible the way it lingers. Has he had the snip? Might be causing the problem if it's a male cat... Hope you manage to sort him out if the adoption doesn't go ahead.
Tom - if you haven't already spoken to a vet, I'd be happy to speak to my brothers gf (whom is a vet herself). She has trained her cat to literally jump through hoops, so she could have some useful advice for your problem.

The cat might have a urinary tract infection. Get some Nature's Miracle from PetSmart to take care of the spots where he's gone to the bathroom...it uses enzymes to eat the bacteria and really works.

yeah hampshire, bard, and surprise from eugene lang (i didn't even apply...?) and waitlisted at reed. still waiting from NYU then it'll be all of them.
also i heard that brown had 25,000 applicants with 1,200 spots. i don't feel too bad, it was my biggest reach.

thats good then, and how does that Eugene Lang happen?!? :D
Is that like a school like the one in the movie Accepted? ;D
i didn't see that movie.
however it's a really good small liberal arts school in greenwich village!
my school sent my transcripts and reccomendations, but i didn't complete or submit the app, as i was in the hospital. but i got my acceptance letter in the mail??? random.
happy!

Screw those pretentious Ivys, face. Yale didn't even accept the girl who's sure to be the valedictorian in the class above mine (and she's the smartest person I know). Sounds like you have a ton of great options anyway.
Hi Face!
You're going to enjoy college. :)
not a complaint but just a bum trip--i was supposed to fly home (to Ohio) this weekend to see my family, including my 5 year old niece. flight cancelled and won't be able to get back until June.
(ps--i had 4 different easter dresses for my niece) eh....oh well.
or..maybe this happened so i could scalp a Gomez ticket tonight for the Brooklyn show and finish my paper. ..hmm....

Having a lot of issues lately, if my cryptic posts and depressing musically selections haven't been clue enough.
Not going to go into detail but I'm struggling with it, really struggling. On top of that, things are so fucked up at work. In the past week I've dropped at least 5 lbs from the work and RL stress.
I may not be around for a while (or much) until I can deal with my issues and clear my fucking head.
I'm thinking good thoughts for you MJK...

SLUMDOG' SHOCK
By DAVID K. L I
April 20, 2009 --
The father of an adorable "Slumdog Millionaire" star allegedly offered to sell the young girl for nearly $300,000, claiming his impoverished family "got nothing" from the Oscar-winning flick, according to a published report.
Word of the alleged child-selling scheme prompted an ugly confrontation outside the home of 9-year-old actress Rubina Ali yesterday as the girl's natural mom slugged it out with the stepmother, according to The Times of London.
Rubina's biological mom, Kursheed, confronted Rubina's dad, Rafiq Qureshi, and his second wife after a report in The News of the World claimed the little girl was on the block for 200,000 pounds, which is roughly $296,000.
Kursheed demanded Rubina be removed from the house, leading to a fist-throwing brawl between Qureshi's former and current wives.
Rubina was allegedly being hawked in talks between Qureshi and men posing as reps for a Middle Eastern sheik. The men were, in fact, reporters for The News of the World.
The asking price was four times what the fake Arab dignitary originally had offered. "We've got nothing out of this film!" Qureshi declared.
The hard-bargaining dad's brother, Mohiuddin, allegedly chimed in, saying: "This is not an ordinary child. This is an Oscar child."
In the international blockbuster movie, Rubina plays a young Latika, the romantic interest of title character and game-show contestant Jamal.
The alleged plan to sell Rubina was reportedly prompted by a legitimate inquiry from a Middle Eastern family that wanted to adopt her.
But once the girl's family realized there was interest, they launched a callous auction, looking for the highest bidder, according to The News of the World.
It wasn't immediately clear what criminal charges, if any, family members might face.
Qureshi denied he was trying to sell Rubina but had no further comment, the Times said.
Wow, that's fucked up.
that's sad. i thought danny boyle and co are taking care of those kids, sending them to school and giving their folks $, etc
It really didn't take long for something to happen.
I was thinking that when they dressed em up and brought those kids to the Oscars there was more culture shock to come. What next?
In the Burgh, were lucky if 1 good band comes per month.
Well just like my luck, 2 bands Id like to see are both coming tomorrow. So it's a decision between:
Kings of Leon vs. Felice Brothers
Its a tough decision, although the $50+ after charges ticket prices for KoL, plus parking, plus beverages is making it a lot easier compared to the $13 Felice Brothers tix, free parking, and cheaper drinks.
Should be a good night nonetheless

Go to the Kings man. We saw them in SAC open for Dylan that made us check the tour and head to KC and the VooDoo Room at Harrahs. Get it together man ;)

And was this this year or what?? I like the new KoL album (thanks Penny ;)) but after getting their earlier albums, I like those a lot more and would rather hear the majority of songs from them - which I know aint happening.
And like I said, the KoL show will probably cost me $80 or more when its all said and done. Felice Brothers will cost me $30 tops.
Have you heard the Felice Brothers?! I know a few people here swear by their live shows, and this is a venue where Im sure itll be a good time.
The Felice Brothers, hands down, no contest.
QuoteThe Felice Brothers, hands down, no contest.
You were definitely 1 of those people I was talking about when I said members who swear by the Felice Bros shows ;D ;)
Its a hard decision, but the venue and cost are definitely favoring the Felice Bros

I haven't seen them since Simone (one of the brothers...the drummer) stopped touring with them. He mentioned he'll be doing one off shows here and there, so maybe you'll luck out as he brings an incredible amount of energy to their sets.
I loved Kings of Leon's first album, but my interest waned big-time after that.

Tickets to KOL in Aus last month were a bit over $90! I never had any intention of going, but that price really shocked me. My ticket to Neil Young was $110ish, but for obvious reasons (and totally worth it).

They still put on a pretty great show without Simone. I'd go see them over KoL any day. Not even a question, and I like KoL a decent amount.

MMJ is always worth the 50+ for a ticket. They play for 3 1/2 hours! And they usually don't waste your time with an opening band anymore.

why is ESPN in like safe mode?!
it takes me like 2 minutes just to scroll thru a page and find what Im looking for >:(
Cats shut out at PGE :( :-[ :'(
I walk out to my car for lunch and am thinking why are a couple of the managers and this lady hovering around my car, only to find out as she was trying to park, she hit my car and dented, chipped, and scratched up the rim above my front passenger wheel.
Turns out she was actually going to drive away apparently, but someone else turned her in. I got her information, but I dont know if Im really going to go through the process of insurance and all that stuff (if I would have to pay anything, I defintiely wouldnt, but I dont think I would). Its not all that bad really, but its a nice car (audi A6 quattro), but its also 10yrs old with 123,000 miles and I think the tranny might not be lasting more than a year or 2.
Anyway, I mean, who hits a god damn parked car?! dont most people stop - go in reverse and straighten out - then go back into drive to pull into a parking space straight?? I mean, I guess that would take a whole 5 seconds instead of trying to squeeze into a spot and damage someone else's car.
God damn women drivers.
She even had the audacity to say "you know, I was thinking these parking spots were smaller than normal ones too", and in my head Im just thinking "hey lady, you drive a freaking Toyota Seqouia, its like a god damn battleship. and you think the spaces are smaller? maybe youre car is just too large for you to handle"

This is the universe telling you if you keep saying shit like "God damn women drivers" then you will continue to suffer at the hands of "God damn women drivers".
So, go ahead, post another YouTube clip of "God damn women drivers" and then count the days until you suffer again.
Figure it out.
If you dont think women drivers are worse than men, I dont know what to say. The stupid stuff that drivers do is 90% women, and no I dont have facts, Ive just seen enough stuff in person, on TV, or on youtube.
I guess she must have done something bad so karma had her car run into another one as well.
Im glad you talk to the stars

it's the universe, not the stars. And the universe speaks, you just have to be very, very quiet.
You could start with your idea that "the stupid stuff that drivers do is 90% women."
This is not true. At all. On any level. There is a reason you do not have facts to back this up because it is untrue (like most of what you say here is without fact). However, this might be the experience for you, so, I'd start there. Start with reality and then listen why you have a need to distort reality, willing your perceptions (however wrong and misguided they are) to come true.
Now shhhhhhhh........ listen.
hear that?

Really, do you have facts to backup that it is untrue? ::)
You can positively say it's untrue without any backup?
I can positively say that after my car is damaged, the only person who would post something like what Tracy did is Tracy, because he's an asshole.

Look up any report and you will find that 70% of all fatal car accidents are caused by men. In fact, what age/sex pays the highest insurance premiums? Well, it's males 16-25. Do you think this is because they are better drivers or worse?
now, call me a name or something and totally dismiss reality. :'(

I could believe that fact, but if you read my post, I said "stupid stuff" drivers do - like what happened to me, fender benders, going through red lights, backing into poles or whatever, etc.
Of course there are good women drivers, women just seem to have a higher propensity for these stupid accidents that occur usually because of a lack of attention or carelessness.

Like killing people with your car is an act of supreme intellect.
good grief man, I just don't get it. Maybe it
is me. :-/
How does this have to do with intellect? When did I ever mention intellect? "stupid" accidents has nothing to do with intellect, it has to do with what I said - a lack of attention or carelessness.
Here's what you didnt mention with your stat:
http://www.car-accidents.com/pages/car-crash-men-woman.html
"Men are more than twice as likely to die in a car crash than women, consider the yearly statistics shown below. In fact, studies have shoiwn as many as 73 percent of all people killed in car accidents are male. Since record keeping began: male fatalities significantly outweigh female fatalities. However men and women do not drive the same number of miles under the same conditions- men do about 60-65% more driving than women. Studies show that [size=20]woman take shorter trips and female drivers have a greater number of minor crashes than do men[/size]. However men are still 70% more likely to be in a serious crash."
So yeah, I guess I actually do have facts and was right based on what I said

I think the problem is that you think you are the one talking to the universe. This is a common flaw.

Willie Nelson & Bob Dylan are in Vegas but I already have a ticket for O. Not too worried about Bob Dylan, I've read some bad things about his recent shows over the years (good things too, of course!) I think I'd rather not see him live so his god-like-genius image isn't damaged in my mind but Willie Nelson?! In Vegas?!! When I'm there?!!! :'(

The ending to Slumdog Millionaire. It's really starting to bother me for so many reasons. The more I think about it, the less happy it really is. Of course, Jamal's satisfied at the end, but what difference does that really make? The first half of the film devotes a ton of time to showing how hard life is for the poor in India but, at the end, we're supposed to forget those problems and smile. What a huge disservice to the real people in India actually going through what those kids did in the film. Jamal's rich, so that's great. Everybody else is still poor and dying in the streets but who cares, right? Two endings would have been far more effective:
1. Jamal loses all the money, but him and Latika still run away together because it's not about the money . . . right?
2. Jamal wins the money, goes down to the slum and shares his wealth.
The more I think about the second half of that movie, the less I like it. The first half's still great though.
Maybe you could delete or edit your post Capt Heady, so it's not at the top of the page or the spoiler is not visible? Thanks :)
A small complaint in the grand scheme of things but I'm sick of getting movies so much later than the rest of the world here in Japan.
I've got some time off & was thinking about going to see something - Wolverine maybe, if there's nothing else on, only to find this:

Man, 1 of my best friends from high school forwarded me this article that came out today about a $1.2 million drug bust at Penn State since he knew I went there. It reads like what you'd expect, until you get near the end and 1 of the guys charged was a pretty good friend of mine at school. I think I've only talked to him once or twice since I graduated, but we lived in the same dorm freshman year, was a friend I'd go out with every other weekend or so throughout my 4 years at PSU, and we played in a weekly poker game at my place the last 3 years I was there.
Crazy. I cant believe it. Im still in awe.

Sorry. brother. The IRS sucks.
As a matter of fact, I posted in this thread a while back about how they screwed us out of nearly a thousand dollars for back taxes. Turns out we didn't actually owe that so they reimbursed us for that money and money they owed us from other years when they were screwing us over. Thank goodness we lucked into finding someone at HR Block that knew what they were doing.

Had a microbiology test that was hard as shit today. It included 6 chapters from the book, and basically every single disease/illness known to man, everything from tooth decay and the common cold to the bubonic plague or SARS. We needed to know what specific bacteria/virus/parasite, etc. caused the disease, the symptoms, how it invades or infects your body, what was the reservoir/vector that transmitted the disease, among other things.
It was more than 100 questions. I dont think I did too good, but Im not sure many other people did either. May have been the hardest exam I've ever taken, and I've had my share of tough ones.
Im hoping for that lovely thing they call a CurVe

my complaint: being homesick. i love my new job; it's great to be near brad, and t'town is a cool place to live, but i miss my friends so much. it sucks hearing about all the things they've done and i've missed out on. and it's so hard to make new friends here, b/c all i ever do is work. i just feel lonely a lot. i don't know how to deal with it, either.
Thanks, Mega. Have you thought about volunteering? When I moved, I wasn't working and I don't have children (which seems to help people naturally meet others). I made a lot of good friends by volunteering. Check to see if your town has a volunteer clearinghouse. Best of luck!

Been planning for 3 weeks to go to the Pirates game tonight since my boy is in town for the weekend (for his niece's baptism tomorrow).
Been great weather all week, except for today. Cloudy all day so far, and 50% chance of scattered thunderstorms from 7PM-9PM (and judging by the radar, Id say they look like 100%). >:(
But we both just said fuck it and are going to get there 3 hours early to tailgate in the lot anyway. I refuse to let rain ruin my day. F U Rain!! [smiley=bath.gif].

Would you ever relocate back to the UK? Both my best friend and closest cousin have lived in Japan for almost 2 decades and they are increasingly disconnected with the "real world."
If my friend's Japanese wife could survive in Canada, I think they'd emmigrate. Her English is good, but her grasp of slang and North American culture is subpar at best.

Im sure that does suck being so far away from family/relatives, but it seems like you have plenty of good things going for you so it could be worse.
Jaimoe is right on too in that you have plenty of time to move back there again. Based on what you said maybe itll be later rather than sooner, but Im sure the opportunity to move back will still be there down the road when it might be easier to make that decision.

Wow. I read about how she accidentally strangled herself on a cord hanging from a treadmill, but in the article I read earlier today she was still in critical condition.
The first thing that struck me about the timing of the documentary was why now, why so early after his headline grabbing career has ended. You kind of knew he'd be in the news 1 way or another for awhile still, but I never would've thought it would be because of something like this.
For someone whose life has had so many missed opportunities, problems and so much trouble (mostly brought on by himself), its sad for something like this to happen at a point where Tyson finally seemed to be getting on the right track, although I havent seen the documentary yet.
I know a lot of people dont like the guy based on some of his history, but Im a fan and think more than anything he's kind of misunderstood. Best wishes Iron Mike.

I'm in a coffee house right now and earlier there were these two women who came in with their kids and sat down at the table next to mine and started babbling about how hard it is to lose weight after pregnancy. They went on about it for like 10 minutes. It kind of got on my nerves a bit. I obviously don't know what it's like to be a woman and to always be thinking about weight, but to me it just seems so trivial and boring.

Women...well just one actually, but she happens to be the one I'm in love with so it sucks. She pulled the rug out from under me last December, and I felt like I haven't been able to stand straight since. She's been calling me lately after fighting with her boyfriend, and I've been there as the shoulder to cry on (bad?). For the past 4 days she's been bouncing back and forth between wanting to get back with him or not, and she says if she doesn't get with him she'd like to hang out and see where things go...not sure what to think of that :-/
Not bad, but definitely not healthy. She pulled the rug out from under you once and now she's seeking solace while still involved with the boyfriend? I think you probably have all the information you need.

Tread carefully so you do not get so involved that you get the rug ripped out from under you again. That is a tough place to be in.
I dont think it would end good if you would get back together with her without knowing more details.

The weather was insane last night. BIG thunder storm at about 12:30 last night, lightning across the sky, hail. I love storms like that...these kind of storms are really common for high in the mountains this time of year, but it is odd for down here in the valley.

Quoteoh dear, the homophobic, bigoted wenches that sit next to me are at it again. I've already argued (ie yelled) with them once today. So glad I'm taking some days off. I really cannot stand their intolerant asses. I do not need to hear racial slurs and other pagoratives being spewed at work. I really miss my old office.
I have to deal with that everyday too. At work and outside of work. Although my friends are not. What I don't get, is how a town that's 99% white can be so racist? It's not like anybody ever
did anything to them.

I know. These bitches all live in small, redneck/shitkicker towns in IL where they do not mingle/associate/see anyone of anykind of racial mix. I swear, there is going to be a nasty fight if I have to listen to that shit like I did Thursday.
Weather on this trip totally sucks balls. Its chilly (50's), rainy and foggy, and I'm currently listening to my baby girl snore like a chainsaw right now. I mean she's putting me to shame.
a case of swine flu just confirmed in my daughter's school. kinda freaking me out. :(
Quotea case of swine flu just confirmed in my daughter's school. kinda freaking me out. :(
hang in there bud
has anyone in the US died from swine flu yet?! I dont think so, but im not sure. Its at my sister's school too. I think schools are taking it more serious so as not to spread it as opposed to it being that harmful.
yes people in the US have died from it, including an elementary school principal here in NYC. not to say it's reason for alarm...just don't take it lightly.
yes, i read there have been 8 deaths so far in ny, none yet in nj where we live, but it's just kinda frightening. i just keep telling my daughter to wash her hands (she is 6) and she is like, "why, do i need to wash off my nail polish?" classic. trying not to panic about it because the reality is that i am sure she will be fine, and even if she were to come down with it, we will get medical treatment immediately, and all will be fine. thanks for listening to my current complaint :-[
The lack of a record store near our new house. :-/
a close friend of the family suddenly passed away. it sucks because i never got to say goodbye or even let her know how much she meant to me.

Meg: sorry to hear of your loss.

thanks, guys.
My 4 day weekend is at an end. I really do not want to go back to work. I've enjoyed the time off, great weather, awesome food, peeps over at the house, spent QUALITY time with the kiddos, read, slept in, did shit around the house, ample QUALITY spooning, etc. I gotta play the fucking lottery so I can do this everyday.
I am sooo sick. I can't move, have a bad cold and a fever. I was going to go horse riding on Friday which by the looks of it is now out of the question.

Thankyou.
My baby of 14 years--Teddy--about whom I've posted on the board before was released to the Rainbow Bridge on Friday July 3--his independence day. I cannot remember being this torn up--not even when I had my accident. His kidneys were failing and he was stuggling with age-related issues so I know this was the merciful thing to do but IT STILL KILLS ME. I miss him unbelievably :'(

Oh no... :( Sorry to hear that. At least he's not suffering anymore. Hang in there, MMJ.

sending Florida sunshine your way...lots....so sad for you, hang in there.....we're here if you need us
One of my best friend's mother just died yesterday. She and her family really need the thoughts, prayers, and good vibes right about now.
sorry to hear about your friend's mom, dark. i know that has to be really hard for her, so i am sending some good vibes out...
warning: self-indulgent rant to follow....
on a more trivial note, i feel so... i don't know. i am so homesick these days. i mean, my family all live here in alabama, but i miss having friends close by. i feel overwhelmingly alone. phone calls with bff's are nice, but it's not the same as being there in person. i know eventually i will make friends here, but... i feel like i have no one to turn to. i've always considered myself a social person, and being by myself so much is hard.
on top of that, i recently found out that i need to have corrective jaw surgery. lame. i meet w/ an orthodontist soon to talk about getting and wearing braces for a year or two before i have the operation.
i guess the positive in this is that i have an awesome job which i love... and which provides me with medical and dental insurance. i'm working a lot these days, but staying busy does help to keep my mind off the negatives.
sorry for ranting, but i do feel a little better now that i've gotten all that off my chest.
Hey Dark, good vibes and prayers being sent you and your friends way.
Thank you Penny and Big Chicken--still bawling at the oddest moments about the big guy (usually when the thought of his last day hits me).
podiatrist Thursday....I think he's gonna take my toe nail off...ouchouchouchouch :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[
Don't worry, they generally give you two or three shots above the digit and let it sit for a while. You won't feel anything except your limb being tugged at a little... No pain whatsoever. Maybe feel a little crappy once the deadener wears off, but by that time you'll probably be home with an ICEE.
I did a random act of stupidness today.
So this guy I work with bets me $60 to eat 5 Habanero peppers in a row. For those not familiar with Habanero peppers, in the pepper heat rating system, Jalapeno's max out at 8,000 Scoville units where as Habanero are rated around 500,000 - so theyre over 60 times hotter than Jalapenos. Theyre the 2nd hottest pepper in the world, and were believed to be the hottest in the world for a very long time.
Well, I accomplished it around 2 PM today, and would probably do it again if the money was right, but my stomach is still killing me 7 hours later. I felt like I had the worst flu ever for about 10 minutes, and even worse, I rubbed my eye with my finger and it got it my eye and that was arguably the most painful thing Ive ever experienced. The only other thing that might have it beat was when I was 14 and got some cream out of my Grandma's bathroom cupboard to jerk off with and after about 10 seconds in, I realized I grabbed some cream that was the equivalent of IcyHot or Bengay and it felt like I stuck my dick in a pot of boiling water. So yes, Habanero's are hot.
Even crazier, the guy I work with makes the same money as me ($8.50/hr) and has 6 kids, and between me and 2 other guys I work with, spent $150 to watch us eat peppers and feel like were dying for 10 minutes. ;D

No kidding...who needs cream or lotion? ;)
Nearly t-boned a lady last night on my way to Meg's... I zoned out, and even though I was looking right at the light, somehow it being red didn't register... Slammed on the brakes at the last minute, but it was raining so my brakes did nothing but screech right through the intersection. Luckily the lady didn't pull out too far. Could have been a really, really bad situation.
:-/
I passed a kidney stone yesterday...was in the WORST PAIN OF MY LIFE for about 3 hours, until the ER nurse gave me some good drugs. Pissed out a jagged little piece of gravel about 6 hours later.
Some advice: Drink lots of water. Every day.
Some more advice: Puke while you're signing into the ER and tell them it feels like you got stabbed if you want to move to the head of the line in a busy waiting room. ;D

Ugh...so sorry! I've had three friends suffer with stones in the last year or so. Glad yours has passed.

The pain was over once the stone was passed...I was back at work yesterday, with a wicked pain med hangover. If I had this happen a year ago I definitely would've been pampered by my wife, but baby demands attention these days...

I've had had kidney stones twice already when I was about 19, 20 years old. Definitely the worst experience I've had in my life. I pretty much expect to get them again someday since I was so young when I first got them.

I've been feeling very unbalanced recently. I feel uninspired at work, a recent string of bad experiences with boyz and the general feeling that I either want to crawl out of my skin or get in my car and drive somewhere...anywhere. I'm not a negative person which makes this period so difficult. :'(
Sorry to hear that Soulshine. It will get better.
Right now, things are just fucking.....nuts at work. I'm ready to scream. I've worn a hole in my desk from banging my head. Fuck people, I can only do so much so fast. Fucking SAP. I hate you you crappy ass German software package.

Wow a ridgeback!? I wouldn't feel too bad, only because they are supposed to be perfect with kids and your dog probably felt more at home than you ever realized with having kids around.
They truly are noble beasts.

He was a noble beast. What a great personality. I would not hesitate to get another one. Although I may get a female next time, as Marley got to 130+ pounds. He was about as laid back as a dog gets. The perfect match for me. Now I'm getting misty again.....
Thanks for the kind words all!
At the dog park by my place they have two parks - small dogs and all dogs. Being that we're in a ritzy area, there are a lot of little fashion accessories who simply have to be in the big park for some reason so the dumb coonts can yell at people after their little pocket pooches start fights.
Anyway, there were a bunch of big dogs being harassed by small dogs and it was a large ruckus and the Ridgeback just sat there, on top of a pile of rocks, calmly watching the chaos unfold.
Since then I've wanted one.

Sounds about right! ;D If you get one you will not be disappointed! He looked mean in the right situation and had a ferocious bark when someone came to the door but he wouldn't hurt a flee and was as lovable as can be. He was always a little bit leery of strange men but he loved the ladies. :)

There are things that hurt worse than losing a dog, but not too many.
We took in a dog from the SPCA that was like a day overdue to be put down, and he got into our hearts so quick. We only had him for a little over a year before he died in my arms. I cried like a baby.
Had a neighbor with a Rhodesian -- they're cool dogs.

I recommend reading "The Art of Driving In the Rain". I know, I know, it's a little sappy .... but if you're a dog person you will LOVE it. You won't cry as much as you might predict at the end, And it might help put things away. Maybe. :-/
I'm sorry about your buddy, Dave.
So sorry to hear about your dog, BH, and your troubles, Soulshine. Hope you both heal quickly and well.
dave, that is a terrific picture of your dog. such a sweet face. thanks for sharing it.
Hang in there Soulshine.
BH, sorry to hear about your dog.
Thanks so much everyone for the kind words and encouragement. Sometimes life is just hard and there's nothing you can do about it. You just have to weather the shiot storm and come out stronger on the other end.
Everyday has been better and I'm feeling great. ;)
Good to hear, Soulshine. BH, glad to hear the stories about your dog and hope you feel better about it soon.
Personal complaint: writer's block is killing me.
Quotedave, that is a terrific picture of your dog. such a sweet face. thanks for sharing it.
I must confess, I felt compeled to post my story while I was at work that day and didn't have any pictures of him on my work computer so I found one on the interweb that looks EXACTY like him. Kind of weak, I know, but I'll follow it up with a real picture soon.
I spent all day talking to fraud investigators. >:(
Someone stole my identity, made a withdrawal out of my bank account and opened two new credit cards - and charged on them.
Had to put a freeze on my bank accounts (and will have to close them) and a freeze on my credit. Closed out the fraudulent accounts. Next step - going to the department of motor vehicles because my driver's license number was compromised as well. And in CA the DMVs are closed on Friday due to budget cuts. Filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. Waiting for a return call from the police - will be waiting a while thanks again to budget cuts.
The real pisser - my personal identification was compromised because of disclosure requirements for my employment.
F word!

Man that pisses me off too. I had a problem with paypal being compromised. I'm starting to lay low with that stuff and cancelling some accounts. This cyber highway sucks.
Ugh, that suuuuucks, LucyLew. So sorry.
Sounds like you did everything you need to do to fix the problem. It's such a hassle, isn't it? Something similar happened to me last year...someone stole my credit card information to charge a flight to Kenya. ;D
damn, lucy. that is a drag!
on top of all the financial hullaballoo, you've got to deal with the logistics of setting things right.
damn.
thanks for the kind words. it really means sooo much.
i cannot fully explain what being violated to this degree feels like. there is someone "out there" that knows sooo much about me...
i am sooo beyond freaked out...
That's awful LucyLew!
I hope it all works out for you and whoever did this is caught.
My current complaint is no MOF tour in Oz....

Sorry to hear about your dog, Dave. It's unbelievable how much we can love our 4 legged best friends!
my grandfather had another stroke. i have spent the past few days with my family, which have been good, but... i hate seeing my granddad suffering. there isn't much more his doctors can do for him, and i wish that he could just be... better.
it's really hard to deal with.
Sorry, Meg. I hate to hear that. The quality of life doesn't seem fair in situations where health issues meet up with advanced age. You just kind of want it to go one way or the other. I hope he gets better, though...for his sake and your family's. :-/

So sorry Meg. Thinking good thoughts of health and wholeness for your Gpa. I'm also thinking positive thoughts of peace for all of you!
Hang in there Meg. My thoughts are with you and your grandpa.
Sorry to hear Meg. Having lived through that with my Dad it is rough but if you have the family there, you will make it through it. Thoughts are with you and your family.
So sorry, Meg. Wishing you strength in dealing with this.
My thoughts are with you too, Meg.
On another note, there is something inherently wrong with Las Vegas, NV and Portland, OR sharing the same high temp today (107 degrees F) :P
I am melting.....
thanks for the kind words, friends.

good vibes and thoughts go out to all of the flooding victims... :(
Crap, I was told today at 2PM that I needed to go out of town tomorrow morning for 2 days. I was able to talk myself out of that, however, I still need to go next week. Not really wanting to do this trip. It's in the middle of nowwhere in Nebraska. I don't mind going home, but not for work shit. It's going to be hot, smelly, and I'm going to get stuck doing the work that I'm going to go and map out the process. Just what I need, more fucking work to do. How many hours are in a day? 30 now?
Quotegood vibes and thoughts go out to all of the flooding victims... :(
I don't know what Louisville did to deserve this weather. This has been the craziest year of weather ever. Ok, so yesterday in the morning they called for scattered thunderstorms, 50% chance of accumulation not over 1 inch. What did we get? 6 inches of rain in one hour with gusts of wind up to 60 mph. We had a state of emergency with crews coming in from all over the country for the third time this year! Crazy. Luckily our basement is sealed and we had nowhere to go yesterday. It happened during rush hour so most people ended up abandoning their cars in the middle of flooded roads or they got arrested for being out during a state of emergency. Crazy.

WTF?!?! I didn't hear about this. I hope everyone here from the area is ok. Damn, that is crazy.
My grandmother (mom's mom) is dying. She can't have much time left. She weighs 69 lbs. She is having heart failure and lung failure from smoking for 50+ years, so everyone saw this day coming, but it's still so sad and hard. I haven't lost a grandparent or anyone really super-close yet. I'm having a hard time because I was always grandma's "favorite," and she let everyone know it. However, in the last 5 years or so, her hearing has gone WAY downhill, so it was hard to even have a conversation with her, especially because she was such a quiet person to begin with, and so am I. So instead I never went to see her. Now I want to go see her, but even when I'm there we don't talk. My mom and her siblings stay with her every night (they take turns). I don't want to regret not visiting her enough before she dies, but it's so awkward being there and not even talking to her. Next time my mom stays with her I think I'll go though. Thanks for listening (well, reading).

Sorry to hear that man. I recommend going to see her as much as possible. 10 years from now, are you going to regret going to see her? I would doubt it right? But you may regret not going to see her. I think it would give her comfort just to see you and look at you. Words don't need to be spoken.
Nice to know we still live in America(?):
Postal Worker denied First Amendment Rights
By: Jay Taylor
GROVE CITY, OH. A postal carrier who has served the United States Postal Service in Grove City, Ohio for 21 years recently sent an email to The Patriot Update claiming that his First Amendment rights are being denied. It all started when John (we're protecting his real identity for now) displayed a couple of conservative bumper stickers from The Patriot Depot on his car. His supervisors demanded that he remove the stickers from his personal vehicle if he wanted to continue parking on the USPS employee lot.
One could understand such a policy if it applied to both sides of the political fence. However, it appears that the USPS supervisors are exhibiting a double standard in John's case. For years he has tolerated the frequent and rampant bashing of President Bush and conservative values. He reported that Liberal signs, bumper stickers, and left-wing slogans are proudly displayed on USPS property and other employee vehicles. Currently, there's a vehicle used to deliver express mail, which prominently displays a pre-election bumper sticker for Obama.
John's claims of unfair treatment and denial of his First Amendment rights have been completely disregarded by his supervisors. Thankfully, John found a fellow conservative in the union steward ranks who cited portions of the Hatch Act, a law which limits certain political activities of Federal employees both on and off duty, to help protect him for now. He continues to park in the employee lot even though he endures constant criticism and harassment from his supervisors if his conservative stickers aren't covered.
It is inexcusable that this double standard exists. Then again, we should not be surprised. Liberals have always been tolerant of every religious and political view under the sun except Christianity and conservatism.

I'm sorry to hear this. Go be with her. No words necessary. I'm sure your presence will mean more to her than you can know. Dont just go once either, go a few times. I promise you will feel better for it and you wont have any regrets later down the line.
Im with everyone else Hawkeye. Its a terrible situation, and my grandma's nearing that same state, but I think you'd regret not going to see her a lot more than if you do visit her.

I was fifteen when my grandmother died. I went to the hospital with my mother and we sat with her for a long while. She couldn't talk with her ventilator but I know she saw me and it was the last time I saw her alive. It was uncomfortable and horribly painful, but I'm glad I went. You'll be glad, too.
I hate weddings where I KNOW the couple is not getting married because they are crazy for each other, but because they simply don't know what else to do.
Trust me I am not a bitter singleton (I'm all for love), but I am very confused about the wedding I am attending tomorrow.

Thats too bad- it seems that people don't really get it anymore, getting married (or having a wedding) has become very much a "i guess this is the next step", reluctant event. I'm not for the religious ties to marriage, more for the spiritual connection between two people. I hope that the trend shifts upward and people don't get married just to do it- or because the girl is pregnant, or any other reason other than complete unconditional love for the others soul.
my wedding next year is going to be a party all about lovin one another! I'd invite you all but between our two huge families- there simply isn't enough room :( Though we will be playing some MMJ fer sure

I hate that I have no feeling towards MOF. I'm not excited about it nor in any rush to listen to it. WTF?!?!? I hate that I'm totally apathetic towards it. If it was anyone in place of CO I would be psyched for it. I'm sadly letting my total disdain for him ruin my potential enjoyment of what I'm sure will be a great album.
I'm glad Jim is branching out and getting more and more press as it will only spur more interest when a new album hits.

*side note: I was at a wedding not too long ago talking with someone who is getting divorced. Funny comment out of the serious conversation: "You married for Love". Well.....that is the only reason I would consider marriage (which we celebrated our 3rd year of marriage this July and now is the 8 year anniversary of our first kiss and official start of our relationship). But it is more than love (or maybe this is just my definition of love, i dunno). I knew the moment I met my husband that he was the one. Not "the one" who would be my husband (but I am super stoked he turned out to be my hubby), but he was and is "the one" with whom I connect. Who I trust. Who makes me want to be a better person. Who makes me laugh, and is there when I cry. My equal in this crazy world.

$130 speeding ticket...73 in a 55.
Im sorry, but speed limits are about 10-15 MPH too slow on any road where the Limit is 45MPH or higher. Its ridiculous. I can easily drive 85MPH on a highway and have perfect control of my vehicle and awareness of my surroundings.
Maybe some people cant, but I can, so let me do it godangsit! >:(

If the gas pump is out of paper and cannot produce a "pay at the pump" receipt, the clerk should have to bring one out to you.

I'm all for that. I realize this happens every now and then, but I used to (no longer) stop at a place where it happened all the time. So annoying.

Kids found a giant f'n bee hive in one of our trees. Sumbitch is the size of a basketball. It's a cool looking one though. It will be too bad when I have to destroy it. Comedy of errors will ensue I'm sure. Pics will follow as my luck with this shit isn't good and if there is a chance my wife and snap a pic of me running and hiding from a swarm of bees, she'll take it.

I'm going in double fisted with that stuff first.
they keep blocking and un-blocking internet sites at work. it seems like they're only blocking the big ones...espn.com, facebook, myspace, the ones that most people go to. luckily i think this site will always be safe from blockage...i need my espn tho! i know, i know, shouldn't be on the internet at work...but i am literally chained to my desk (via headset) and sometimes you need a break...time to visit the "favorite internet sites" thread for some new options

NOOOO!!!
Don't destroy it. We need all the pollinators we can get. Plus, you are putting yourself at risk. Call a local beekeeper and they will gladly remove it for you free of charge. That's free honey for him and more fruit on your zukes and cukes for you.
I really hope Kohler reads this before anything crazy goes down. :(
Not quite like me shooting wasp nests with rubber bands as a kid to get the rush of them chasing me when they flew out... ;)

Dylan- looking into that. Problem is I do not think we have any keepers local or close. We have plenty of meth labs but no bee keepers. Plus they are starting to bug the kiddos

Looks like a hornets' nest. I did a science project in third grade about hornets. Gosh, I remember being smart back then. Right now, I can't think of a single fact about hornets. :-/
Love Dogg, I'm sorry to tell you that there will be a pop quiz on hornets at your workplace this afternoon. Good luck. ;)
I agree though, that looks like a hornets' nest, doesn't it?
I foresee a scene from Tommy Boy being re-enacted here....

That would be awesome. They have a new one in their group. He's ultra religious. If you want to be proud of your religion good for you, but when you start Bible thumping in the office and watching a DVD of a sermon during work hours, I think you're full of shit. Thankfully I have earphones at work still.

yeah i guess if you drop it/it falls somehow while it's ON, it's a bigger difference (i always kept mine on, but you shouldn't just in case something like this happens) the IS dept had it all day and said there was nothing they could do about it, even though it's protected by that metal-- i know it's not tragic like all the other stuff going on right now, but it's my own personal music tragedy. thanks for your condolences. ;)

Ya know- the external drive casing might be dead but the drive inside could still be salvageable! I work with my dad fixing computers and such- we do a lot of data recovery. You should pop the case open and get the drive out- they sell external drive empty shells that you might be able to use your drive in.

75% on the first real exam this semester....ughh. Most of the class seemed to be in the same bout though. Still, no possibilities of a curve and highly unlikely a question gets dropped based on how hardcore teach is.
and that is the suck Penny! almost makes me glad I havent gone digital and still look like a jackass carrying my 10lb CD books around ;D
Bummers PL. Hope you get the good stuff back.
I have poison ivy in my belly button >:(
damn, penny, that hit's very close to home as I have been spending lots of my free time over the last month or two archiving everything. I have it all backed up on one hard drive and then most of that still on a couple different computers so I can try and avoid what happened to me last time when my laptop shot craps. If you find a way to get MOF to change the date of their Louisville show, I can meet you there with my hard drive and give you a bunch back. Although I don't think my Verve collection would be quite up to your standards. ;)
Ugh, Pennylane...so sorry. A naughty grandchild dropped mine around Christmas. In addition to all of my music (99.9% of which I actually own), I lost five years worth of photos. I feel your pain.

They need to provide better training for employees working in the photo department so they don't go off half cocked like this one did.

Im pretty sure something like that is standard protocol at any photo place, which is why I dont really think Walmart is liable for this (although they are the ones with the money). Yeah, the pics look innocent and normal, but you need to err on the side of caution. Child Services or whatever gov't facet are the ones that seem to have fucked up major time on this one.

People and their GD selfish selves. Grrrrrrrrr.
A pit bull attacked my girlfriends dog and hurt it pretty bad. Ronnie is an older chihuahua mix. Bruises and puncture wounds later and TOTALLY shell shocked. Seriously, it looks like he's seen a ghost :-/ My girl had him on his leash and walking by a persons house( on the sidewalk mind you) here out from a carport comes the pit. Pit grabs our dog and shakes him etc and nips my girl on the finger and scratched her.The people that own the pit were like this has never happened and blah blah blah...They paid the vet bill but that's not the point. My family will not become a statistic from someones stupidity or neglect.The next thing for that dog will be someones kid I'm afraid

Shit that's terrible! Did you report them to the authorities? I can't believe how f*cking selfish & stupid some people are. Like you said, what happens next time when the dog attacks a kid?!!
Really sorry to hear that Big Chi :(
That's awful, RC!
Check your state laws. If the pit wasn't on a leash and not contained the dog will be taken away and the owners will face criminal charges.
That's terrible! I am sick and tired of irresponsible owners of this ilk... >:(

My friends family raised 2 Pits. After years of never doing any wrong they started getting agressive. Once they both started biting people (myself included) they never stopped. They both had to be put to sleep. I think you're right about kids being next unfortunately.
I dont like to complain buuut, my career is starting to suck the life out of my soul. Its time for a transition. I told myself when I started 3-5 years and then it will be time for a new adventure and a new place to live. Its been 3 years...Its def time for a new adventure. I was so happy there once.... :-/
QuoteGot a nasty looking rottie on an electric fence and if it is out I draw Tawny close and get my Kissing Cranes Stiletto in my hand...
We had a German Shepherd on an electric fence across the street. He was as submissive as could be when not on his own property, but once you got him in his yard behind that fence, he was territorial...as he should have been.
Long story short, he ended up nearly killing my dog. $1,800 and two months of vet visits virtually every day later, I asked the neighbors via an explanatory letter to
consider paying half the bill. They refused and got completely up in arms because they had decided to rehome the dog. His actual words "you want me to pay $900? I spent a lot of money on my dog and we don't even have him anymore and the children are heartbroken!" Mind you, we never asked them to rehome the dog, put up an actual fence, nada.
I hope your puppy will be okay. Definitely check out the leash laws. Pits have such a bad rep, but unfortunate incidents such as yours can be prevented.

ps the old man is doing better every day....we got real lucky . sad how responsible pet owners have to go through this :-[
I think if these irresponsible owners start to see that John Q. Public is willing and able to fight back it may actually help. Watch the little piss-heads cry foul however if something actually happens to their attack dog...
1) My grandma died last week. She always told everyone I was her favorite, but I feel like I didn't see her as much as I should have.
2) The place where I work is closing. We have 350 employees left here (down from over 500 but a few years ago). We'll be closing within 9-12 months, so at least I have time to consider my options.
3) No one will go with me to Dino Jr tonight...WTF?! Tickets are only $25!! Anyone here going?
I'm so sorry for your loss. At the end of the day I think we all wish we could have spent more time with our loved ones. Take heart and know that you did what you could.
Sorry about your luck, Hawkeye. I hope things turn around for you.
Hang in there Hawkeye...you gots lots of Peeps here who care about you...
Sorry to hear Hawkeye.
Too much to do at work. Seriously too much as in I may have to cancel my 3 day weekend too much. dammit it anyways.

I actually considering not going out tomorrow night so I can do that free web trial Sirius thing and hear the sets, especially the halloween set ;D
I don think I could listen to it. I just want to know what album it is then I'm going to proceed on the GET DOWN in Lville.

Well, if I was going to be seeing MOF, obviously there would be more important things at hand...but listening to the set sounds about as good as another night out getting drunk
Some water in the basement...in places I just sealed. grrrr
Granted with the amount of rain we've had, nothing would have stopped it.

The whole St Louis basin is. Thanfully Waterloo is high up enough we wouldn't have an issue, and far enough from the the MS River. Still doesn't stop the water from seeping in.

I woke up on Saturday night/Sunday morning with the sound of someone trying to unlock my front door. We called the cops straight away but the person left. Now I'm frightened every night and jump at the smallest of sounds. :'(
That is scary, wb! You got a guard dog or anything to keep you safe?
My computer crashed last night. It's dead. Going to start looking for a new one. I'm thinking about switching to Mac, especially since it was a virus that ultimately took down my machine. >:(

We're on our third day of no heat or hot water. Thankfully it hasn't been too cold and our house is well insulated, but I'm going to have to brave a cold shower today...followed by a dental scaling. Double whammy!
my lungs hurt. i have bronchitis, and it suuuuucks.
>:(
I hurt for my friends that are suffering and the emptiness I feel knowing there is nothing I can do to fix it.
It's been almost a year since my best friend was in his car accident. he was in a coma for a while and has yet to gain consciousness. I miss him terribly.

Looks like quite of few of the our friends here are suffering, very sorry to hear that...
My thoughts & best wishes go out to you all :)
My grandfather had a heart attack yesterday. They are doing some sort of heart catheterization today, so please send prayers/thoughts his way.
Soulshine, Mighty, Meg, I'm thinking of you all today and will say an extra prayer for all of you. Hang in there. Stay close to your loved ones while they need you!
QuoteMy grandfather had a heart attack yesterday. They are doing some sort of heart catheterization today, so please send prayers/thoughts his way.
damn... I'll try to send some positive energy to the universe for you... hope things work out alright.
Thanks for the well wishes folks.
Thanks, y'all.
My mom said the heart cath went ok. He is doing better now. The dr. said that there was a lot of blockage, but there was nothing they could do. He had a bypass surgery 10 years ago, and they told us that it would last about 8 to 12 years.
It sucks that there isn't much more they can do for him. It makes me angry and sad at the same time.

Like M said- got a whole lotta losin-
the inevitable hard truth of it is that everyone you know and love will someday die- you may live to see that or you may go first. Its unfortunate but thats life- its what you do with the time you've got thats what's really important.
EDIT:
I don't at all mean to sound preachy- I myself have been struggling to make each day count and be in the moments that each day provide... it's difficult because there are so many distractions.
meg, glad to hear your grandfather is feeling better. I hope he continues to improve as much as is possible.
Take care.
Thanks, guys.
I think the reason I get so upset is b/c most of my PawPaw's health problems are caused by his exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam. He volunteered for three tours of duty over there, and it makes me angry that he is sick b/c of it. It isn't fair.

I'm thinking about you and your whole family...'specially PawPaw. I understand how you feel. Big hugs.
I'm thinking about everyone else too and I'd like to say thanks for the thoughts and well wishes. I always know I can get good support here. Everyone is so special. It makes me feel really warm inside when I see the support/love/encouragement here.

It's nasty out, rainy, and thundering...in November?!?!?! I'm having flashbacks to 3 years ago when we got decimated with an ice storm. Shit started out just like this. I do nto want to live through that again.

i have been sick for the past 2 weeks and just can't get over it. i keep losing my voice (aka "the moneymaker"), and it sucks. i went back to the dr yesterday and got a shot of something and another round of antibiotics.
this antibiotic makes me want to freaking puke. i'm allergic to all forms of penicillin, so i have to take weird stuff instead. uggh. i feel worse than before.

People out doing grocery shopping for Thanksgiving...so seriously rude. The woman at the Whole Foods' cheese counter is lucky she still has all her teeth after shoving me out of the way. THE STILTON WASN'T GOING ANYWHERE, LADY!
Hope you get to healing quickly, mega!

Sometimes, living far from family is really trying.
I just learned my favorite aunt passed away and I am scrambling to get to New Orleans for the services on Saturday. She was a wonderful and strong lady who, despite having been in ICU for a week...and having had her last rites administered TWICE...managed to get out of the hospital and dress in full costume for Halloween two weeks later. At the age of 90!
Sorry for your loss, Sassbox, hope you were able to make it to the service. Sounds like she was a special lady :)
Sorry to hear Sassbox.

I really, REALLY do not want to be stuck here at work today. I've already barked at a few people and it's only 8:15 local time. Things are not going to end well today I feel.
Sadly, there was a large fire at the Dublin Guinness brew house. This better not interfere with my supply of Daddy's Little Helper.
Just went to that bkdollarholidays.com to get some people those $1 cards for free cheeseburgers. They had 20 different varietys of cards, and all of them are sold out ;D
Hell, I thought you could just go on there and print them out for free. I didnt realize you actually have to pay for them. Then again, I guess theyd be giving out a lot of free cheeseburgers if that were the case.
I think they forgot to turn the heat back on on my floor. It's hovering around 60 in my office right now. I don't want to drink this cup of tea, I want to crawl in it.

Incredible woman I've been dating for 2 months or so is going to Mexico for a month. Before she left, she felt we needed some type of understanding of where we were. She decided she is not sure she is ready for a relationship. It has been 3 years since her last serious one, after a heartbreaking 5 year mostly long-distance relationship. So, we are on a break while she is in Mexico. Bummer. In most cases, I would assume that this means she wants to be free to get freaky with the locals while she is there, but in this case, I actually don't believe that. She hasn't been with anyone besides me in a year, and turns down men ALL THE TIME, plus she will be very, very busy while she is there, so...I trust she's being honest. She gave me the ok to be with other women while she is gone, as long as we take the proper precautions before we are together again...alas, she is the only woman on my mind, so I doubt I will be doing much (any) carousing. Fingers crossed that her mind is cleared and she is recharged when she returns home, and that we can work things out and keep it simple. If not...her loss! ;)
Considering the situation, my 2 cents:
-Dont call her until she's been there a couple weeks. And then maybe a couple days before she's supposed to come back
-Talk to as many girls as you want/can, but dont hook up with any.
I realize its not rocket science and Im probably one of the last you should take advice from, but if she still is interested when she comes back, you most likely optimized the situation by taking the above actions.
Good luck!

I don't think her phone will be on while she's down there. We might do some IM'ing. I plan on leaving her completely alone to collect her thoughts. Good news is I thought I wouldn't see her again until she left (tomorrow), but she told me this morning she wants to see me tonight...good sign! Good advice though, I will definitely not be shutting myself off from women while she's gone, if she's not sure of what she wants...but it would be a good idea to not hook up with anyone.
TEO, sorry to hear that. I will be losing mine sometime soon (March probably). I could stay with the company, but they want me to move to Marietta, OH...there is NOTHING in that town! There whole sales pitch is that they're "only 2 hours away from Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Pittsburgh"...but how often do I want to drive 2 hours to do something? The town would be great if I was older (friendly people, quiet, safe) but there is NO nightlife. Probably going to go back to school. It's about 90% certain that I will get 2 years + 39 months of unemployment along with 2 years of schooling paid for (no limit in dollar amount). I think I'm going back for my MBA. One door closes, another opens... :)

YES! This is a great outlook! Since I terminated my contract I've found job searching is a lot easier when you have a Masters. I def think you should go for your MBA. Without my MPA I doubt I would be getting as many people interested in hiring me. Once you have it they can never take it away and it will always be an asset. As for the girl, if she wants space- give it to her. She knows where you are and she'll contact you. Do your thing...just dont do anything you may regret later! ;)

QuoteInsomnia. Anyone have any good remedies?
I had insomnia issues in grad school:
Valerian Root is a good thing to try
Rescue Remedy helps me relax
Kava
chamomile tea
Lavender anything always helps with relaxation
If you are into essential oils you can pick up peace & calming, joy, lavender, and a bunch of others that will help you. Sometimes I mix different ones together for my own scents. You can place drops on a cotton ball and place it next to your bed or rub some oil on the bottom of your feet. That is the best place for the oil to be absorbed into your body. I keep one of these handy for all purposes: http://www.youngliving.com/essential-oil-collections/Essential-7
I'm NOT a fan of big pharma, but if no natural remedies will help a very low dosage of Xanax should do it. Good luck..insomnia is NOT cool.

They only know they got a trip to Disney for Xmas. No dates, no inclination as to when, nothing. We were planning to just pick them up from school and head out. If school is called off again tomorrow, we've come up with plan B. Breakfast first, then tell them were were planning to take them to the City Museum (locals know this place rulz), but it's closed so we'll go to Disney instead. We already have everything packed.
Nice
...be sure to check out Disney Quest if theres a rainy day (or even if its sunny if you ask me). Its like 5 or 6 floors of virtual reality, interactive games/rides, and arcades. Last time I was at Disney (I was like 14-15) I spent more time in that place than anywhere else.
I think I owned every part of the Top 10 in Time Crisis 3 ;D

Man disney quest kicked so much ass- a video game lovers dream. It may be closed though. Apparently, they are going to be pulling everything out at replacing it with newer stuff. Major renovations and such.
They don't call me Indulgo The Dad for nothin.

Trust me, there isn't a part of Disney we haven't been. This is the kids 4th time

Is it true that there's no beer in the magic kingdom? If so, a trip to tha Dizz is surely A and B the C of D*...

none in Magic, Animal, or Hollywood studios, however there is plenty of booze in Epcot where we spend a lot of time. We're using time share so I have a fridge I can add Daddy's Little Helper to.
So I hit my gf last night. Now I have never hit a girl but she started talking about my father. She said that my father was a drug addict and could never keep a relationship and I was going to be just like him. My Dad isnt perfect but he loved me and my mother and she just kept going on and on until I just lost it. It just happened. My fist reared back and I smashed her right in the nose. I expected it to be like in the movies where her nose would just trickle blood, but no. It exploded with blood coming out everywhere, both nostrils, etc. She banged her head into the wall from the rebound.
She and I just sat there stunned for a few seconds and then she just freaked out and locked herself in the bathroom. She eventually took off but I haven't heard from the cops yet so I should be ok. I never hit a girl before so I kind of freaked. I told my mom what happened and my mom got scared, And said you're moving in with your auntie and uncle in bel-air, I whistled for a cab and when it came near the License plate said fresh and had a dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare But I thought now forget it, yo homes to bel-air I pulled up to a house about seven or eight And I yelled to the cabby yo homes, smell you later Looked at my kingdom I was finally there To sit on my throne as the prince of bel-air

Oh wow dude my jaw was dropped from that first paragraph. you got me good!

I didn't make that up, I got it from another board I go on, I laughed my ass off when I read it.
Working on my 8th hour at Newark airport. If Continental made the call before I left NYC, it would have been ok, but no. They had to cancel once we were here and with our luggage. Never been happier about purchasing a phone though ( got an iPhone right before my trip). Just 1 more hour until I board and 7 until I am home in bed. Ughhh >:(

Ha, that was hilarious! I was just thinking that Ghosts seemed like such a cool guy.... fuuuuuck! Haha!
Stephen Huneck (founder of Dog Chapel, VT) took his own life today. One of the truly remarkable places that crazylove and I visited just last summer. The life of a tortured genius...
I opened my trunk, and think to myself: how did all this dirty snow get in my trunk?
...then I scan my trunk, and realize 2 coke zero fridge packs exploded in my trunk >:( >:(
at least the 12 beers didnt explode!
American Apparel used to make awesome gold glitter tights that were long enough to fit tall girls, and I just got a hole in my last pair, and the new ones they're making are way too short. :'(
Getting work phone calls everyday since Friday, WHILE I'M ON VACATION. WTF?!?! Seriously, why does this shit happen everytime I try to take time off. And they wonder why I avoid taking time off. It's not the fault of the 2 guys covering for me. I spent extra time before I left finishing shit, working ahead, and specifically telling people stop doing shit before I left. So what do they fucking do? That's right, ignore me and continue on, fucking stuff up, and trying to pull fast ones over on people because I am not their to be the bad guy and tell them no. Now my bosses are all pissed off at me, like it's my fault other people cannot follow simple instructions. God I hate my job and I'm so fucking tired of it.

Towards the end of my job I started getting phone calls, texts, etc from work when I was on vacation. It
REALLY got me fired up so I know how you feel. I hope you're able to relax and enjoy the rest of your trip.

Yeah, took a few hour break fromt he parks to give the kids some downtime and to make dinner at the condo so we are not eating out all the time. Spinning Teacups should be renames the Vomitinator. That thing just makes me nausious. I did make my daughter (7 YO) cry for 15 minutes. She wanted to ride Space Mnt, so we went. Yeah, dad of the year here.

There is a story in the news here at the moment regarding 2 young boys aged 11 & 12 who attacked & sexually assaulted 2 younger boys aged 9 & 11. I made the mistake of reading the details of the case...truly shocking & horrifying.
Sometimes the world is a scary, horrible & fucked up place.

Bigots and Nickelback make for a near perfect match. Chad Kroeger writes juvenile and offensive lyrics and is a fucking egotistical pig; no wonder those jerks like Canada's second worst band so much. I bet those jerks would hate it if someone informed them that their fav band are a bunch of socialist-loving foreigners.
For the record, the worst Canadian band are called Stereos (horrible manufactured pop band). If Stereos break it in the States, consider yourselves forewarned.

Thanks for making my day if the expected tour dates didn't already make it. And you read my mind on who was the worst. Hmmm might have to let it slip that they are socialists to see how they react. They are all big Toby Keith supporters so this might be pure COMEDY GOLD.

Im sorry, but not even Bob Dylan could write ingenious lyrics like this:
I like your pants around your feet
I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favourite damn disease

i tore cartilage in my knee, and it hurts like a mother.

Ughhh. So sorry, meg. :( Hope it heals quickly!
I finally reinstalled iTunes on my new computer, and now all my bootlegs are jacked up...all the band name and show date info is gone :-/
Hope all is well Meg
The "man" is being particularly awful today. Damn you Willy Wonka. I may be workings past bedtime tonight.

WEAK.

Sorry to hear. You'll do fine. I had a chunk of my miniscus removed and bounced back quickly.
Get well Meg....I messed up my knee pretty bad a couple years ago, to the point where it was very swollen and I had limited range of motion for a week or so. I thought I tore a ligament because of how bad it was. Im guessing I partially tore some cartilage or a meniscus, but I never got it checked out. Although I couldnt flex my knee the entire way for a few months (at least) after that, its basically where it was before outside of some soreness after a lot of exercise.
So good thing its quite possible you wont need any invasive procedures done

QuoteJust spent $772 at the dentist. :o
That smarts! And I know that. I'm always pissed when the dentist gets done jacking me up and they're all like "that'll be $400!" Like adding insult to injury.
QuoteJust spent $772 at the dentist. :o
This is why I haven't been to the dentist in a couple years, despite knowing I have cavities.
The husband of one of my employees died last night. They had just celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. They had no children - just each other.
My heart broke a little today.
That's really sad, Lucy. I'm wishing all the best for everyone that was affected. I wish I could do more.
Thoughts and prayers.
QuoteJust spent $772 at the dentist. :o
On what?! Did you get a new set of teeth?
Ha, no - just had a crown and a filling replaced. It's been a while since I've needed any dental work done (almost ten years?), so I suppose it was just time? ;D Still...sheesh!
Lucy...I'm so sorry to hear about your employee's husband.
QuoteHa, no - just had a crown and a filling replaced. It's been a while since I've needed any dental work done (almost ten years?), so I suppose it was just time? ;D Still...sheesh!
Wow, that sounds like more than that should cost...maybe your dentist needs to rip off the patients to afford all the extra nitrous he's huffing
Crowns are pretty expensive, I think my insurance covered half or so. I did upgrade to some kind of fancy crown, so that affected the price (I'm such a sucker ;D).
Since I don't have much trouble with my teeth, I get the cheapest dental plan my employer offers, mostly just to cover the 6 month checkups/diagnostic x-rays and basic stuff. Of course, the flip side of that is that whenever there's actually something wrong, it costs me some scratch...but so far that hasn't happened too often (knock on wood) ;D
Not a complaint necessarily...I miss my family and friends...it is what it is.

I was coming here to say I was putting stuff in my attic when I took a wrong step and my foot went right through the ceiling. The good news is I didn't rack myself too bad, the bad news is there is now a giant hole in the ceiling of my living room.
man do I have a FUNNY story about an old friend of mine going through a ceiling.... ;D ;D damn that sucks Dylan....i HATE patching sheetrock plus IM NOT GOOD AT IT !!!! :-X
Quoteman do I have a FUNNY story about an old friend of mine going through a ceiling.... ;D ;D damn that sucks Dylan....i HATE patching sheetrock plus IM NOT GOOD AT IT !!!! :-X
Yeah, it could've been much worse, especially since the thing I was holding in my hand at the time was made of glass and expensive and it's still in tact. I've never patched sheetrock before so I'm going to have to call in an expert, it'll probably cost me a few hundred. oh well...

My chihuahua just attacked my chickens and it's my fault....didn't know the bedroom glass doors were open :-[ :-[one of my girls is limping :-/ :-/feel horrible....not going to spank the dog but I was pretty pissed....tough birds will bounce back
So I woke up a little bit ago and notice the neighbors car blocking our garage and found it odd. As I walked upstairs I see a firetruck outside the window, go up to the window and see 2 more firetrucks on the road, at least a dozen fireman, and some cops blocking off the street. My neighbors house is on fire. It doesnt look bad, just very little smoke coming out of the windows. I have no idea if anyone is inside.
Pretty crazy. Ive never seen anything like it happen in a neighborhood/street I lived on
Wow, it's not even 8AM here and the obnoxious right wing, racist pigs that sit next to me are at it again. I've already had to utter "shut the fuck up, you have no clue what you are even talking about" once today. Earphones on now to drown them out to keep me from getting in trouble for cussing them out more and spitting on someone.
*they are bitching about the fact that the Prez is in town today and the planned closure of the highways. Yet they were all happy happy when bush would come to town and they didn't care if the highways were closed, because he was the prez. The #1 reason they hate Obama is he is black and have said that. I hate this place some days.

Kind of a surprise since you dont expect anyone to die in their 30's, but not a surprise at the same time. I watched The Two Corey's for a minute and he did seem like a wreck, but even then hard to believe he's dead at 38. I guess theyre saying for a stretch he took 85 pills of Rx meds a day?! Crazy. Kind of interested to head what Feldman has to say, Im sure he'll get some bigtime interviews the next couple of weeks
Then again, probably not too surprising

She'll be ok and there is no long term damage....but still.

Very sorry to hear about your troubles, Jaimoe. Lotsa peeps here thinking about you.
Thanks everyone. Sorry I aired out some of my troubles last night, but I was going through a moment of weakness and sadness. I am not depressed though, just scared, sad and angry (and conflicted). My wife wanted a trial separation with the intention of us healing our relationship. I hope this works out. Let's just say that she has no allies in her decision, including family. We remain great friends and she lives right up the street from me; I can see her apartment building from my balcony. As for my sister, she has been dealing with stomach and intestinal issues for over a decade, but the doctor's haven't been able to treat her. She is very under-weight, which can lead to strokes etc...
Thanks again everyone. I feel blessed.

New songs were great live. The new album closer is just massive live. The acoustic set was indescribable. There were maybe 50 people there for it at best. Lots of stuff from Howl. I think at one point I had to change my shorts. Got to meet Robert and Peter and get a poster signed. They just epitomize cool, at least to me. really nice guys, willing to meet people, talk, take pics, etc. I was totally man crushing :-[
Been in tears most of today. I learned that a friend of mine and fellow Jacket fan is in really bad shape. His heart is failing. His kidneys are shot. He's in the hospital and is really pissed off that he will miss MMJ at Jazz Fest. ;)
He's scheduled to have surgery on Monday to help his heart function. If you have a chance, please think a good thought for my friend Dave.

Thanks y'all :) He's in surgery now. I am hoping to hear some news around noon time. Last night we made a deal that there's no way that he could leave the planet without seeing me make a full-on spectacle of myself rockin' out to Magheeta.
Best wishes that all turns out well for your friend, NN.
Thanks all! I am moving this over to the current joys thread b/c Dave made it through the surgery! I don't have any other details except that they hope to get him sitting up today! Major, major good news!

That sounds promising, NoLa. Sending some good thoughts your way. Hope things continue to improve and Dave can be back in fightin' form for JazzFest!
Im not gettin into details bc honestly everything sucked and I had no chance. But I have to move back to the Burgh (aka my moms house)
I got hosed school wise, but theres nothing I can do bout it.
My only choice is to get positive and attack shit next year in March.

It was momma fox calling for the young or other foxes in the area. Biatch was standing by my Oak pacing and screeching. Threw something at her and she took off but said fuck you Koehler and came back for more. After a while, one of the neighbors finally chased it away for good.

Maybe it's how you wrote it, but I'm picturing you coming out at 2AM in robe (or snuggie) yelling and throwing things at a fox. That's a little funny, but I can see how that would suck. Sounds like you have a sense of humor about it.

I do, and that is pretty close to how I rolled. Just boxer briefs. Robes are kind yuck. I mean, what is the tie string's purpose other then to soak up piss ladened toilet water.
QuoteFoxes, screeching, more screeching, the most god awful screeching imaginable, and 2 AM wake up calls. Not cool.
you sure it's not just your neighbors' listening to ke$ha?
Quoteno foxes in our parts....screeching huh
Are so. Red foxes. They used to terrorize the golf course that my dad worked at. We saw one while camping around Ocala about a month ago.

It could be a coyote...they can make some crazy sounds. We had a coyote howling at 3am in our back yard two winters ago.

I just found out that I can't go to the free Iggy & The Stooges concert on June 19th in Toronto (outside at Yonge Street & Dundas Square in the downtown core). Instead, I'll be working and helping prep for the Miley Cyrus-hosted MuchMusicVideoAwards. I think I'm going to be sick.

You should be getting hazard pay for that gig, I would rather run a wood planer down my shin.

Time is a cruel bitch. Seriously, what the hell happened in 18 short years? Huh? I mean look at the hair. Thick, luxurious, feathered, LETHAL! It's a prom queen's wet dream for fuck sake. Look at that shit. It screams, "run your hands through it." Now look at what I'm flippen stuck me with. I have to sun screen that sumbitch. When I work outside, I wear a hat because the glare tends to blind pilots as they fly over. It no long screams at you to run your hands through it. It scream "Oh the humanity. This guys needs that spray on hair in a can shit. Or some Rogaine."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v128/princesskaelybear/BeforeAfter.jpg)
I long time ago I heard wearing hats actually makes you lose hair over time. I'm not sure the exact reasoning behind it, maybe not getting nutrients from the sun or something? who knows.
Another thing I heard was it's the beard that actually matters, facial hair accents the adult male's jaw line. which when you're older should be closer to a 90degree angle, unlike when you're younger and have a rounder face. Thus, growing a little bit of facial hair with the right balance of top hair style could get you just as much poontang as you've ever gotten.
Don't thank me, thank your jaw bone. Chick's don't know it but that's what they subconsciously find attractive in their primitive little minds. Silly females.
If you've already got a woman or a family I'd say the hard part is over, now it's all about capitalizing your manliness. Think about it, if you've got some kids growing up somewhere your life purpose is already taken care of, time for playboy mode.
Maybe go to bed, bath, and beyond and get some nice fragrances/bubbles and soak in the tub for a bit with your feet up. If I were you'd corn row that shit before it's too late.
When you get older do your pubes go bald too? I wonder how long I'll have my hair for? 5? 10? 20more years? you never know with all these chemicals the government is feeding you.
I think I actually have a reasonable complaint for once.
It is about work. I'm a pressmen and work with my dad, he owns a printing company that is one day suppose to be mine. The problem is I hate it. It's mind numbingly boring and any time I fuck up rather than not giving a fuck like a normal job I feel all guilty like I'm letting my dad down or some shit.
I'm a union member so I get 10 paid vacation days a year, I've only used like 3 or 4 so far. I'm on some meds to help make sure I don't get too stressed out but they don't really help when it comes to work, mentally I just can't make sense of why I'm doing it other than for money and my dad and that makes me feel completely enslaved.
I get paid decent but have a hard time mentally getting through a full day. It's a really monotonous job. It's like watching and dealing with an ancient copy machine that fucks up a lot because it's old. Thump, Thump, Thump, Thump, Thump, is all I hear all day long.
How in the fuck am I suppose to stay sane? Anybody? Maybe I'm just a whiny bitch, it's quite possible.
QuoteI long time ago I heard wearing hats actually makes you lose hair over time. I'm not sure the exact reasoning behind it, maybe not getting nutrients from the sun or something? who knows.
True. I only started wearing a hat in the last few years to hide this beast.

I am 23 and already balding at a pretty severe rate. I never wear hats, except for when it is cold outside to keep my ears warm. I can grow a beard but I can't really grow a good mustache. I think my time is running out to get that perfect beard/top hair ratio just right to cash in on the poon.
Just tell them your wearing a bologna yamaka :).

Having had one for a while. Not fun. What did they prescribe for you?
I have a three-week supply of Protonix samples. I need to call my Rx company to see what's covered under the formulary for a long-term prescription.
I took one around noon and it doesn't seem to be helping thus far. :(
It takes a while for the stuff to kick in. When I started on my scripts years ago, it took like a day or 2 for it to build up.
That's good to know...thanks. I was starting to feel panicky about another night of this gnawing pain.

you'll be fine in 30-60days if you keep taking that stuff. It builds a lining on the inside of your stomach. Protonix works real good.

55? I don't know, but there certainly has been a lot of premature deaths with ex-football players (and current ones too). If you add in NCAA ball players, then maybe the average makes sense. Think about the untreated head injuries and the ballooned weight (during their careers and after).

I'm including 'roids in the ballooned weight. Only a few ex-NHLers look good - Howie Long comes to mind. He lost a ton of weight after he retired. Still, the heart gets damaged when you live far larger than your true weight.
One of my best friends is an ex-Miami Dolphin player (under Shula...two Superbowl rings). He's 64 and in horrific physical condition due to days in the NFL. I honestly don't understand how some of those people can still walk.

It's actually 3 middle-aged women. They think SP is the greatest thing to women and that she should be President now. They are tea baggers. The kind that would show up with misspelled signs and shit and not realize just how stupid they look.
ugh that sounds awful... I can't stand people like that!
I can't imagine how frustrating that would be. SP=nothing good except makes a great punch-line. I love following politics in the US, ours are pretty boring. Except when our G.G. took a bite out of a raw seal heart. That was amusing.

as much as it sucks, now you have to research the fuck out of sarah palin. you have to know more about sarah palin with fact sheets or websites that can back your claims with a click of a button. and not just one source, multiple sources. On top of this in order for them to even understand the normal, rational political concepts you believe in you're going to have to some how strip away the veil from their eyes because they can't understand how the media, fox news, glenn beck, bill o'reily, hannity, blizter whomer are paid to say what the owner of that company wants them to.
until they realize they are being sold ideas to believe in and are merely part of an extremely complex system I think your fucked.
send them the google video link for outfoxed or something:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6737097743434902428#
then show them the video of sarah palin reading talking points that she wrote on her hand during that speech she gave. destroy their world. it's the only way to make them see the light.

It doesn't help my attitude that my ignorant hillbilly work neighbors have said several times today that this is all Obama's fault. I really hate where my desk is.
you should start messing with him. get him to agree to really stupid shit. have him explain himself and just let him ramble. then add to it and just fuck with him. then one day when he gets his ass beat arguing a point you told him you can laugh your ass off. just an evil little thought. I've gotta back read to catch up on this dude. I love fucking with people who are idiots about politics. you should give me the number to his work phone at his desk or whatever and I'll prank the fuck out of him some time. that would be oh so fun. I'll pretend I'm a militia member and want to recruit him. You should convince him Sarah Palin should be president in 2012. Is he hardcore christian or just a tea bagger?

Then tell them that Palin couldn't remember Joe Biden's name during the strategy sessions leading up the the first VP debate... she kept calling him Obiden. So the solution was simple, that day "Can I call you Joe?" was born
Is it just me or does it seem like ever since fox started playing those old reagan propaganda videos about socialism people have become more retarded?
That dude was a piece of shit too. Palin is using Reagan as part of her magic carpet to ride into washington. I thought everyone agreed that Ronald Reagan was one of the worst presidents in united states history?
Sarah's always spouting about being a soccer mom, I wonder if her kids even played soccer. they live in fucking alaska.
"I can see Russia from my house!"

I really tried to overlook that during the whole election. I really did. I mean, really? I still laugh at this.
It's funny when Palin spouts off about supporting grass roots and mom and pop shops when her own town has been gutted by big-box stores and mega corporations.

The Glenn Beck sycophant of the office was on a rampage screaming about the government should stay the fuck out of our personal lives and quite trying to interfer in what we want to do with ourselves blah blah blah. I threw this at him and shut him up. "So, you want them out of our personnel lives, quite trying to ban abortion. You are sticking your male nose into a very personal decision that a woman has to make." His mouth opened and closed a few times then walked away. Victory is mine today.

well played. if he wants the government to stay out of his life ask him why he hasn't been bitching about public transportation, the mail, the military, schools/education, the police, the fed - they make our money, etc
they'd rather give away our personal freedoms for a false sense of security.
hey englanders isn't the labour party basically socialist? aren't austrialians socialist? I can't remember. all I know is these wackos think we're going to turn into socialists and then instantly turn into communist china, which is ridiculous.
that was some righteous justice you laid down mjk, I'm going to start calling you MLK jr.
the other one I found that works well is the "keep YOUR religion out of OUR government". all the bible moral babble is unconstitutional for the most part.

don't let the swarm overwhelm you. next time somebody gets in your face ask them how they feel about seat belts and speed limits.
"doesn't it piss you off the government decides how fast you can drive?".
them:
"yeah it's the closest thing to communism since the seat belt law".
QuoteI really like the prank calling from sticky too... that would be ridiculous to hear
I would do it in a heartbeat. all I need to know is why I would be calling and what are the answers I need in order to keep the conversation going long enough. once I get the person(s) mind on something I'll derail the conversation by saying something trivial about the gov't. Then I'll start an argument with the dude who will have to be nice to me.
there would be no implication whatsoever that you had anything to do with it. I live in another fucking state, police aren't going to fuck with me over a prank call even if they figure out it's a prank. my goal is to be as real as possible without making it about politics.
like a mighty hunter stalking a wild beast, I shall conquer their minds.
plus the more info you give me about said person ahead of time the more they will have no fucking idea what the fuck is going.
I can sound professional, give me a shot kido.
like for example if you gave me his physical description ahead of time I could pretend to generalize him by how he looks without even seeing him. it would be a huge advantage because he'd think that just because I know sort of what he looks like he'll become a cliche, in his own mind of course, hypothetically.
I studied social science for the couple years I was in college before I gave it up for the working world. pleeease MLK let me get in his mind, PLEEEEEASE.
is there anything you want to say to him? I can say it for you. think of all the possibilities.
ooh now I'm feeling evil...
if you give me his e-mail address I'll sign him up for tons of porno. spam the fuck out of his inbox. work e-mail would be most bad ass.

I do believe I'm getting f'ed on the deal. Did have 1 phone nterview out of the 2 positions I applied for. BS company politics. They would rather move a less qualifed and grossly under experienced person into a role from an overstaffed dept then hire someone who could come in immediatly and rip shit up. C'est la mert.
My #1 and #2 bosses did give me a heads up on something that is coming up that probably would mean a raise (and an office again) if I can hold out. Hopefully some peeps get their shit together and get this set up.

Cool. That's pretty high quality. I use that setting for my original CDs but dumb it down to 128 stereo for stuff that I know was mp3 to begin with. Then it goes twice as fast and takes up half the space.
So youre saying switch it down to the "High Quality (128kbps)" option instead of "iTunes Plus" for it to go faster?
Most of what Ive loaded onto iTunes so far have actually been original CD's, but I'll probably switch it to that then for burned stuff or music I rarely listen to.
Still gonna take a damn month to get everything onto iTunes it would seem. Glad I got a 160 GB! ;D
hey mlk just a heads up for monday:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=126836174&f=1001&sc=tw&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
palin is tellin people obama wants to take away their guns. she's even got a new punch line "mama grizzlies". It's scary people think she might actually run in 2012.
groans
She's a fear mongering brainless cunt. I'm sorry, I just do not how anyone can believe/support/like her. Everyone in this country should be deathly afraid of 2012. The thought that the xenophobic, racists, elitist agenda of her, Rush, and Glenn is only going to get more vocal in the next few years and the brainless fucking hill jacks that we seem to have a plethora of in this country seem to think these people are the greatest things ever.
Apparently I "make" too much to be considered. Well fuck me sober. Dammit, I guess I keep looking.
Today is not looking like a good day. Probably carry over from yesterday. The hags I sit next to are on a rant again so I threw my headphones on to drown them out.

there has got to be a solution to getting some justice. you should get them fired for being racist or something. become a muslim and then tell your boss they're stereotyping you, etc. fight them with their own argument.

When they start talking about how muslims are terrorists, etc tell them that isn't very Jesus like of them.
please become a christian-muslim-liberal. you wouldn't even have to say anything. Just hang signs that say slogans that will piss them off. To you its a piece of paper with stupid words on it, to them it is Satan himself. "I <3 Muslims" or something I don't know "Jesus <3's Muslims", etc.
If you think of them as robots and realize you already understand and can predict what their argument is you will most likely walk away with the upper hand. I hate to say it mlk jr. but this fight you're enduring is just beginning. To end it you must use your intellect and rational attitude about life. It is what makes you superior.

but isn't uncertainty the essence of what makes us human? it seems like nothing in life is certain, tho as cliche and drunk as I'm sounding, what is truly certain? Nothing except death. that has never been a mystery, what is is the uncertainty. the chaos. I can't process half the bullshit that happens in my life but usually in the end it comes down to my own state of mind. if I'm in the shits eating my balls off I'm probably going to quandary the fuck our some shit, if I'm like "fuck this shit has always been a fuckin quandary-esk piece of a weird" the chaos becomes almost organzied. like I said, I'm young, drunk, stupid, the wisdom lies within your own experience and what you do with that power. because it most definite is power that you possess. you're uncertain because you are giving yourself choices. which is what life is all about. trying to be happy in different ways right? live a satisfying life or something. but really life is never truly 100percent good. it's mostly shitty and the good parts seems awesome because there is so much hell like shit going on everywhere. we're desensitized and our confidence as people has been diluted. "I can't leave my job because I'll never get another one". you know that's not true. you've said yourself you could tear some shit up whereever you go. that's some pimp ass shit.
you need to change it up. say fuck you to those dumb idiots you work with and roll out with your fingers raised. or put in your two weeks. fuck it mang. then call back about those "you get paid to much" fuckers and be like "listen dude I"m the man and these people are crazy, pay me less, fuck it".
just remember you have a huge ball sac, that in itself should give you enough to vibe on until tomorrow.
If you hate your job I think we should turn it into a game.

dude's aren't confusing. chicks are. the reason is mostly hormones. It's not like us dudes can hold it against you ladies for having a menstrual cycle but in the end female emotions are far more complicated then a man's. what the fuck is estrogen's problem? making you girls feel all sexy one minute and all bloated the next.
It would be a major bummer if I pms'd.
but regardless whether it's the red rivers fault or not, dudes are selfish and chicks are whores. tis life.

Boys have a penis, girls have a vagina. 'nuff said.
To Sticky or NOT to Sticky: THAT is the question.
hey it's just how it is. Women are by nature promiscuous. Not all women are "whore's" just the one's who screw your best friends or friend hop from one friend to the other. Chicks like that are worthless. out searching for the alpha male.
I'm a scientist, do not question my logic.

Yup, yup, walking around being promiscuous and searching for the alpha male is pretty much all I do when I'm not listening to MMJ. Sometimes I go all wild and do both at the same time. Walking around with an Ipod, lifting rocks, looking in bushes, calling out: here Alpha, Alpha, heeereee! All the while flashing various lady parts, or something promiscuous like that. I don't know, it's not something I can control, being female and all. :P

The story is all too familiar. Friend hoppers are bitches. I wish chicks would start thinking with their brains instead of their vagina's.
seriously. dudes are sooooo hard to understand. what is with that "playing it cool" b.s. y'all do? if you want me, go for it. jesus. i'm a pretty cool chick, and i don't understand what the deal is. i would even venture as far as to say i am attractive, so... wtf?
Firstly, yes, Meg, you are a beautiful baby :) And, by all appearances, a very cool chick.
I might say this. Some women are more attracted to men that either 1) They can't have, or 2) Who "seem ok" on their own, and don't over-pursue.
And of course I'm speaking from some personal experience here. The lady I'm dealing with now first found me interesting or appealing because I wasn't hitting on her, or even acting all that interested. Fast-forward 5 months or so, and I'm really going for it. Telling her I want her to be my girlfriend. And she kinda freaks out and keeps me at a distance for a few weeks, only to miss me and want to hang out again. This yo-yo act continues up until this day. Just last night we decided that we need to be friends because we really didn't have enough shared life experiences. This is because she had/has a job, school, and a child, and we really only got to spend week nights together, and in her apartment. Then I moved 11 hours away. So, we'll be friends, hang out when we can, keep in contact and keep each other informed. And if I move back in a year, like I may, we'll pick up where we left off, if at all possible.
Anyway, if he has had any experiences similar to this, that might explain things. He may think he's more interesting or appealling if he does "play it cool," showing he's ok on his own and isn't needy. In some ways, I think women have made men think they need to be this way. But of course I'm generalizing. Everyone is different. Just my 2 cents.
Also, women are mildly insane. I guess we can be too. It's the human condition I think.

meg, just tap that ass. if he's not going to be a dude about it, you gotta be the dude about it. just be all "hey dude I think is hot, let's bone". and I bet you get boned. problem solved.

Meg, if he's not man enough to sac up and ask you out I'd say NEEEEXXXXT! and move on. You are cool and hot now go find a man that wont waste any time telling you the same thing.
Hawkeye, I'll help you find a smokin hot single chick at roo that isn't confused about your awesomeness.
long story short: this dude and i have a history together. we were on/off for close to 3 years. he's been calling me lately and telling me how he still loves me, that "i'm the one that got away," that he misses me, etc.
so i go see dude last weekend, and it was amazing. i, like the dumbass chick i am, find myself having "feelings" for him again. now that i'm back home, i am spending way too much time stressing over whether or not these feelings are mutual.
you know, if he feels the way he claims to, he should be blowing up my phone. i'm not saying i want a stage five clinger or anything, but i just want to feel wanted. maybe he's being distant b/c i am so far away (geographically). i don't know.
ugh. it's so simple, really. either you want me or you don't.

Thanks for the offer Soulshine! However, whether wise or not, this confused woman will be at Bonnaroo with friends and I. As a friend, for now. Until if and when I move nearer to her. But we still want to meet up with you and Penny and Fidel and whoever! Still flying that Beards and Bewbs flag? Although I heard you may not be in the RV area? Talk later.
Meg, best of luck to you. I really, truly feel your pain. Just stay positive.

Quotesometimes i feel like love is overrated. all the heartache, and for what?
the situation sounds toxic. I gave up on the game long ago, all the rules, all the bullshit. it's hard to find a person out there anymore who you can legitimately trust. if it's stressing you out now it will probably stress you out later way worse.
be all beyonce about it. be an independent woman. throw your hands up at me.
I've had some nightmares and some good times, but I finally found love and happiness when I stopped faking who I was and stopped looking for it. I waited for love to find me while I found myself.
I was lucky, burned my bridges after college, moved to NC, reinvented myself and found my life. Meg et al, you're young. Take your time, let it happen, enjoy yourself, find yourself, then he/she will find you.
Just my 2 cents. :)

Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful to have this job, but I feel like I'm not being used anywhere near my potential. I haven't done more than 20 min of work in any given workday since Dec. Just sitting in front of a computer for 8 hours is a brutal way to spend a workday.

Nah - just slipped (it was raining, I was wearing flip flops). I'm fine...just seem to always skin the same spot on my right knee. :P
Thanks for your concern, doc! :)
I was going to go with Grapes or the classic Banana as the culprit, but rain wetted flip flops will do that job also. On tile floors, wet flip flops I have found are as slippery as snot on a doorknob.

Serves you right for going to Besy Buy for your music. Find a local independent record store!
thanks for all your thoughts....I love you guys....

If I wasnt poor and owed a ton of student loans, I would do that more often. I actually did end up buying the Delta Spirit album at a local buy/sell/trade store, even though it was $13. Ended up kind of working out since I found a used copy of the Ben Sollee & DMM album for $6

We had to put our dog fluffy down a couple years ago and it was a really depressing time. They grow on you so much. Fluffy was a grouch to people but a sweetheart to the family, he had a stroke or something though. I was tripping on mushrooms doing the robot to a beck song, I think it was nicotine and gravy, I can't remember. either way my funky dance moves made my half blind, deaf, gimp legged dog FREAK out.
keep in mind fluff didn't do much of anything for months before this, he was old and slept all the time. anyway, I went in the bedroom because he took off, he was shaking and acting so weird. after that he wasn't the same. the glimmer in his eye was gone and it might have been my fault. :'( maybe if I wouldn't have danced so funky he wouldn't of had the stroke. I'll miss fluffy. He was the first dog I had that I got to be there for it's entire existence. My first dog was Eb, a Chow Chow, black. Bad Ass dog. I used to ride that shit around like a horse, I've got video to prove it bitch. he was a great dog.
His demise eventually came and I can't help but feel responsible for that as well. Eb, short for Ebony, my milk chocolate lover, protected me from our neighbor. she was all petting him and did something towards me (not really sure I was like 3) and he almost bit her knee off. The neighbors sued us and we had to put him down. The day after Eb bit her she was out riding her bike in front of our house. I will never forget that cunt ass family. Putting Eb down was my exposure to the idea of God if I remember. I asked my dad where Eb was going and he said "he's going to see God", and I was all "Can I come and see God" I don't remember the rest, just a huge chain on Eb's neck as my dad took him to get the shot.
Now I've got Roxy, my little fatso cutie butt. She kicks ass and if we wouldn't have adopted her she'd probably be dead. She's one of the greatest dogs ever. You need to get a puppy asap. 1.) they're cute as fuck, 2.) they love you, 3.) you save their lives when you adopt them. It may be too soon, this I can understand. Dogs are amazing animals, what were the circumstances of your young beast? old age? sick?
Quotehad to put one of my little dogs to sleep yesterday :-[ :'(
Oh my dear GOD! I am feeling for you My Brother in Jackethood... :'(
I too feel for you BC!
I've got a 12 year old springer mix and he's also been my first dog I've owned since he was a puppy. His name is Reilly and even though he's an old grouch nowadays, I will still miss the shit out of him when he passes.
We have chosen to go the preventitive way so that when Reilly passes, it won't be so hard on my kids, so 2 years ago we got Bella. She's a lab/newfie mix and she is awesome! And then a year later, we found a chocolate lab dodging cars on a major state highway close to my house. We pulled over and called him and he jumped right into my truck and the rest is history. Turns out he's about the same age as Bella! I told my wife I didn't want to name him some cliche reference to something brown or chocolate. But with 3 girls, I guess that wasn't happening as they almost immediately and unamimously chose to name him Cocoa no matter how I tried to persuade them otherwise! So Cocoa it was! ;D
At least having our labs now will curve our grief a bit when the time comes for Reilly to go to a better place.

I feel like a vagina today. blah.
I got pulled for speeding last night by a policeman with a radar gun. I was doing 45 on a stretch of dual carriageway that had a 30 limit because it had street lighting. There wasn't a pedestrian in sight. I was no danger to anyone, and the motherfucker treated me like a criminal.
I accept that I was speeding, but this bullshit isn't about protecting other people's lives, it's about raising cash for the pigs. I've been driving for 24 years without one violation, one accident, or one parking ticket ever. I am not a fast or reckless driver.
To make it worse the piece of shit spoke to me like I was a school boy, asking me questions about the fucking Highway Code. So I ended up with a £60 fine and three penalty points on my licence that will stay visible for 4 years and will affect my insurance premiums. Where was this dickhead and his little radar gun when some scumbags were vandalising my car last year? Probably hiding behind a tree catching old ladies who were going over the 30mph limit!
And the worst thing is that I just had to stand there and take it from this jumped-up little wanker. I wanted to smash the prick in the face and shove his fucking radar gun up his arse! >:(
If my daughter ever entertained the idea of joining the police I would disown her.
ALL POLICE ARE CUNTS......PERIOD!

I hear you PW. I HATE FUCKING COPS !!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks G-20 Summit for almost ruining my town and it's reputation. Fuck the protesters who vandalized my downtown while 19,000 cops suspiciously did next to nothing. Fuck you Canadian federal government for choosing Toronto to ruin (BTW Yanks, our federal government is located in Ottawa; the Conservative cowards didn't want to hold the summit there, and for good reason). And fuck you PM Stephen Harper for holding the summit in one of the most vibrant downtowns in the fucking world, where millions live and work. We were held hostage by cops, violent protesters and over-zealous media. Fuck you G-20 and G-8. You accomplished nothing, again, other than have the rest of the world hate our elitist, rich asses.

Stereotyping, profiling, and racism are all two way streets. I notice that I get "treated" differently by fellow motorists on occasion when I drive our 530i versus our Durango.

;D I've never got pulled over in the 7 years I've had mine. Knock on wood.
Really need to upgrade my communication filter. And not say things that I know will do the other person no good to hear and make them mad, only to satisfy my own curiosity. Think I just ruined a friendship because of it. Hopefully this person will eventually accept my apology.
Speaking of getting pulled over in cars, I always wonder how the fuzz will treat me when I'm driving the Firebird. It definitely stands out, and I almost never wear my seatbelt in it and I have no front plates (it looks cooler without them). The plates thing worries me the most. I've been pulled over once for not having the front one. I think most cops may not know the rules. The cop that pulled me over said that they're required in all vehicles after, I believe, 1949 (though I never checked this). That, and I'm a fairly young guy (27), so I wonder if the cops think I'm out looking for trouble and drinking and driving. I wonder if I were older if they would tend to cut me more slack. Although I've only been pulled over in it once, so this really should be no concern, but I always worry about it. Probably just my own paranoia. Should be fine as long as I'm not drinking and driving :-X

When I was living out there and got Iowa plates, I ask the lady why she gave me 2 and she says one is for the front of the car. I gave her the "are you shittin me??" look and she says state requires it on the front and back. I ask her how Im supposed to attach it to the front and she says I need to buy some kind of attachment thing. Needless to say, I never have a plate on the front of my car and thankfully I never got pulled over for it.
I'm from the mother fuckin motor city and have never heard of it being a requirement to have a front plate. that seems kinda retarded to be honest. what purpose does it serve other than making the tax payer shell out more cash?
Cops are boners who in most cases didn't even go to college. Fuck the police. There are too many police.
You should have asked the cop if he calibrated his radar gun before pulling you over. I'm getting pissed just thinking about law enforcement, fuck that shit. sucks paulie, you should have fought him.

Sticky - the fucker had already reeled off the name and make of his radar gun, and the date that it had last passed it's inspection check, before I'd even had chance to speak!
I would have loved to have fought him. I've been learning Jujitsu now for 18 months and I'm sure I could have taken him! ;D Imagine passing him out with some sick ninja strangle and leaving him unconscious on the side of the road!!
I guess cops are the same everywhere. My wife was in the car late at night with her sister and female cousin. A cop pulled them over and said in his condescending way, "Good evening girls - and where have we been tonight?" My sister-in-law, who was driving, said, "Well we've been to the pub, but I've no idea what you've been doing!"
FUCK THA POLICE INDEED!

I DO like seatbelts... :-/
I too hate the fucking police. I have been ticketed TWICE for non-moving violations. Once, the cop pulled me over to tell me my tags were expired. When I pointed out to him that I had 14 days after the month they expired in to get them changed (which it was still within the 14 day grace period) the prick then proceeded to say that my liscence plate frame was covering my tags and he had to write me a fucking ticket for that?!
And then, speaking of front liscense plates, Ohio too requires the damn useless things?! And Ohio also has no helmet law although we do at least have a seatbelt law. Anywho, my front plate was a Land Rover dealer down in Georgia that sold refurbished old Range Rover Classics where I bought my truck and it was a green plate that reminded me of Vermont tags. I thought it looked cooler than our stupid Ohio tags so I never switched it out. Needless to say, after having it that way for nearly 4 years, some pig finally decided to be a prick and he pulled me over. When I told him the tag was in the back of my truck, I thought the least he could do was give me a warning and tell me to put the tag on. But no! The prick writes me a ticket for over $130!! I was so freaking pissed?! So, I included a note with my check I sent in stating to enjoy my contribution to the Medina PD Crispy Creme fund!
One last thing. I've got my 3 girls trained pretty well when it comes to pigs. Whenever they see a cop car go by with sirens blazing, they always say, "Must be down to their last doughnut at the Mini Mart right daddy?" ;D I get a chuckle everytime I hear them say that! :)

A seatbelt saved my life
Only idiots with a death wish don't wear seatbelts. And if you don't make your passengers (kids, family etc...) wear one, then you deserve to be fined or jailed.
I hope no one here thinks I endorse NH's bullshit, hands-off attitude. No sales tax, no income tax, no helmet law, no seatbelt law equals inadequate funding for schools and other services and lots of unnecessary death and injury. I don't need a law to do what's right, but apparently some fucknuts do. I imagine just about everyone in NH gets to see brains on pavement at least once in their lives. That and a moose.
the bottom eye lid of my right eye keeps twitching. it never does this bullshit. on and off all day. word on the street is I need to pump myself full of B-12 but I don't know what it does so I'm chillin with the twitch. any help would be sweet.

Just about to hit the sack when I saw this... I worked in a healthfood store for 5 years, and any muscle twitchiness issues seem to resolve themselves with magnesium caps or tablets (or powdered in packets...) B-12 can't hurt ya at all, and most people are generally lacking it (and magnesium). So don't be too noivous about taking some of either or both. Sometimes a warm damp towel over the eye helps even if only temporarily. Or an eye patch and preferably a parrot on one shoulder.
Eye twitches suck, hope it stops soon for ya [smiley=rolleyes.gif]

Eat a bananer dude. And get some extra sleep.
I get the twitch every now and again, that seems to help.

QuoteQuoteI'm from the mother fuckin motor city and have never heard of it being a requirement to have a front plate. that seems kinda retarded to be honest. what purpose does it serve other than making the tax payer shell out more cash?
Cops are boners who in most cases didn't even go to college. Fuck the police. There are too many police.
You should have asked the cop if he calibrated his radar gun before pulling you over. I'm getting pissed just thinking about law enforcement, fuck that shit. sucks paulie, you should have fought him.
Sticky - the fucker had already reeled off the name and make of his radar gun, and the date that it had last passed it's inspection check, before I'd even had chance to speak!
I would have loved to have fought him. I've been learning Jujitsu now for 18 months and I'm sure I could have taken him! ;D Imagine passing him out with some sick ninja strangle and leaving him unconscious on the side of the road!!
I guess cops are the same everywhere. My wife was in the car late at night with her sister and female cousin. A cop pulled them over and said in his condescending way, "Good evening girls - and where have we been tonight?" My sister-in-law, who was driving, said, "Well we've been to the pub, but I've no idea what you've been doing!"
FUCK THA POLICE INDEED!
I'm not sure if it's still true or not but I've heard that a good way to get around the police trying to get you to give up your right to remain silent is to answer their question with another question.
For instance, Your sister-in-law had absolutely no obligation to tell the cop she was at a pub. However, the cop tricked her. If I ever get pulled over and they ask me where I've been I'm going to respond something like "what seems to be the problem officer". Then ask you why you personally think you were pulled over. NEVER answer this, always play dumb for the most part. Otherwise all you do is isn't incriminate yourself. "was I speeding?" BAM! fucked.
They work for the prosecution and getting those lawyers people to prosecute is how they make a living. They were created by our government to fuck us and make money off crime. Safety is the scape coat reason. Isn't that the old saying, once you give up your freedom for safety your basically fucked? Whenever cops pull me over or a friend over when I'm in the car I get the fucking shakes like no other. Police terrify me.
QuoteOnly idiots with a death wish don't wear seatbelts. And if you don't make your passengers (kids, family etc...) wear one, then you deserve to be fined or jailed.
waste of tax dollars jailing people who don't wear a seat belt. a fine seems reasonable in dangerous driving scenarios.
wearing a seat belt has proven to give drivers more confidence and in turn drive faster. which also makes their driving much less safe. The issue is touchy at best.

I personally believe that those who choose to NOT wear a seatbelt or wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle have a level of unrealistic confidence.
Here are some solid statistics on seatbelt use for 2008:

I always wear my seatbelt. It's not hard to do. But I don't think you should get jailed...that happens? Coming home for a Twins game we hit black ice going 70, spun, and went straight into the ditch. I just unbuckled my seatbelt to adjust it. But kinda froze and hung on tight. Very lucky. I encourage everyone to buckle up.
Even you, Sticky :-*
I wear seat belt, especially when I drive drunk.
I feel the need to address this anti-police sentiment. My brother was a cop. I worked with many local law enforcement when I was assistant principal of a high school. Most are good people. Many are assholes, magnified by a certain amount of power derived from their job, their gun, their uniform. But most are good people.
Imagine a society without police. I mean, seriously, try to picture it. Its not a place where I would want to live, to raise my family, to feel safe.
Like all of our society, it is flawed. We may never fix that as long as humans are involved. For we are flawed. Good people make bad choices. Bad people occasionally do good. Laws are meant to fill in the gaps where common sense fails to act.
I long to realize the utopian lyrics from "Wonderful (The Way I Feel)":
I'm going where there ain't no disease
I'm going where there ain't no police
I'm going where there ain't no need
To escape from what is, only spirits at ease
It would be nice if we didn't need some sort of public safety system in place, but that would depend upon a society where kindness and common sense are the norm. I don't think that currently exists.

I could care less if idiot drivers purposely choose not to wear seatbelts and they end up getting themselves killed. But I think those same fools should be held liable if they don't try to ensure their passengers' safety. Also, drunk drivers and speeders that cause road fatalities should be jailed for fucking life, but more times than not, they get off with little more than a slap on the wrist.
Seatbelts make people more confident? Confident or feeling more safe? Helmets and shoulder-pads make athletes more aggressive, but serious injuries are minimal considering the amount of times impact occurs. And where'd you get your stats from? Airbags and seatbelts save lives; there's always going to be morons behind the wheel no matter what.

all I'm saying is an airbag can kill a baby and that's straight up unsafe. I retrieved the stat from an ancient archive of information locked within my brain. Pedestrian deaths increased after the seat belt law went into effect. Not sure how relevant that is now considering generations have been brought up on seat belts now.
I've said it once and I'll say it again I don't wear a seat belt because I love ghost ridin' the whip. If there is an opportunity to do it while I'm driving I do it. not wearing a seat belt is the best way to be ready to ride the whip in the most pure form. fyi.
Not wearing the seatbelt for ghostriding is only half the battle, kid. Can you dance?

Babies should never be anywhere near an airbag. They should be secured in baby seats, often faced backwards in the back seat. As for taking chances, good luck!
I love Sticky so much sometimes.

Cops should be setting an example. They should have a duty to set an example. A lot don't. And the cop hierarchy should be investing time and money in rooting out the huge number of assholes that work for them. Unfortunately a huge number of the assholes are part of the cop hierarchy so we're going nowhere on that one.
Based on my only serious interaction with the police in 41 years they have given me the first impression that most of them are assholes. It may be a generalisation, but the cop wanker I encountered made a sweeping generalisation about me first.
Based on that I still say FUCK THA POLICE!

totally bummed I didn't score Ween tickets for their show in Royal Oak. Didn't realize they were playing here and now all I can find is scalpers seats :'( hopefully my friend can score some tickets somehow. It is a joke trying to find tickets to a concert anymore. Ticketmaster blows it doesn't even register that they're playing a show. At least before you could check to see if a show was sold out. Not anymore. I might go down there anyway, Ween is too amazing to miss.
sorry meg, ::good vibes sent::

I have much faith in the boognish, it's more of a frustration for the degradation of the ticketing system for concerts. Do people even wait in line anymore for tickets on the onsale date? I pick tickets up at the ticketmaster place occasionally but never camp out. not since like 97. Then after shit went online it was fine for a bit. Pearl Jam pitched a fit but other than that not much to complain about. I remember in high school, waiting, hitting F5 for rage against the machine tickets and I ended up scoring floor. later found out floor sold out in under a fucking minute. Side note, that was the first show I saw somebody pass out at. He was a huge fucking dude, fell flat on his back at least twice before security took him out of there. Bummer for him.
Now I've gotta tell this story while I remember it. At the Drive In was the first opener, they had HUGE afros at the time. later after pure chaos broke loose one of the dudes from at the drive in was in the most pit getting his ass beat. It was crazy. Skin heads everywhere.
but whatever those days are over. the days of the fans who puts in effort to get great tickets is over. they don't start at A and go to Z anymore and it pisses me off. The only place I couldn't find tickets was Livenation and Ticketmaster. It's completely fucked. I'm not going to break for these fuckers. Let them cancel the tours and reformat and lower prices. having a platinum card shouldn't matter when it comes to where you sit at a concert. first come - first serve... bitch.
Hope isn't lost, just frustrating. I honestly can't believe I didn't see that tour date. I remember they had texas dates but they must have added later or something. barf. oh well, this purple pine tree isn't purple but it's pretty bomb. HApPy COloReD MaRBlEs.

I'm a pallbearer for my grandpa's funeral tomorrow on what would have been his 84th birthday. He had gotten real bad for the last few weeks, and it is somewhat a relief that the wait is over. This whole f*cking year has sucked. My mom spent the first few months in a hospital or nursing home with a broken leg and arm, my girlfriend and I split after two years, and now my grandpa has passed away. I'm looking forward to burying the first 8 months of 2010 along with my grandpa tomorrow. The whole year can rot for all I care.

I'm looking forward to burying the first 8 months of 2010 along with my grandpa tomorrow. The whole year can rot for all I care.
As hard as it may be, keep thinking up and forward. One day at a time, friend. Breathe deep. Hugs.
It was 89 fucking degrees at my house at 4:36 AM when I walked outside for my morning "run". I say run in quotes because it was so humid that it was more like swimming in the air. I love summer, the heat, the humidity but this has been an awful year. It should not be that hot and humid at 4:30 AM. Temp will be 100+ today with an index of melted balls. Bring on fall.
I've got to wake up for work in 4hours. at least it's friday. sleep is one of my favorite things on earth. damn you slavery.

I had a roommate in college that was like a wild animal if you tried to wake him up. He was a really peaceful guy when awake but in that state he'd punch or kick the shit out of you and call you every name in the book. Me and his brother were the only two people who were brave enough to even try to wake him up.
I hate sleeping. It feels like a time waster. TEO tells me when I get older I won't need as much sleep to be rested. I'm looking forward to that.

haha I'm not that bad. kind of a silent person when I wake up. it takes me like an hour for my brain to fully turn on.
We have a friend who passes out when he gets wasted and no matter what you do he will not wake up. and if he does wake up all he does is garble angrily, swat and shit with his hands and he falls back to sleep. When we were younger we messed with him pretty bad.
my friends tied him up with industrial plastic wrap once. bound his legs from his knees down and wrapped his hands up, etc. long story short in the middle of the night he had to piss but when he stood up the plastic wrap pulled his pants down and made him fall backwards onto this little foot rest thing that goes with the couch. after that he was in kind of an upside down U shape, with his dick in the air... and then he started pissing. all over the place. in his mouth, on his face, on the couch. another time we wrapped him up like a baby jesus and put him in a storage closet. a very scary storage closet with huge machetes and stuff hanging up. yard tools. I'm pretty sure he was freaked out when he woke up. probably thought he was in a shed somewhere haha. In panama we almost buried him in the sand on the beach but some hot chick said she'd call the hotel managers. Another time we were up at Michigan state and were testing his tolerance by hitting him with pillows. Then we let this black guy hit him with the pillow and he fucking went off. reparations or some shit. we were like "alright that's enough". That's my friend gets for his part in the slave trade.
glad you're feeling better man. enjoy you pills mang, max relax. it's a good weekend to feel like shit.

ahh bummer man, poor little thing.
One of the things that makes this forum so great is that, along with our common obsession with MMJ, you're all good people with kind words for those of us when we're hurtin'. I need a little of that.
My "current complaint"- fucking cancer!
My mom was just diagnosed with breast cancer. We spent the last 5 years working through my dad's pancreatic cancer. He is currently cancer-free- a miracle! We hope for another.
She will have either a lumpectomy or mastectomy next Wednesday. I will be there for the surgery, then try to make it to Holyoke for the show that night.
She understands my obsession with MMJ, honoring me with her presence by my side at the Boston Monsters of Folk show on her 65th birthday last November. She and I held hands during At Dawn- the emotional highlight of a great night.
Keep her in your thoughts and thanks in advance for your kindness.
-John
I'm so sorry, John and Johnny.
Sorry to hear that Johnny.
Your dad's cancer free, though. ;)
I hope they're able to get all your mom's w/this operation.
Hang in there and let this forum be a source of support for ya.
That sucks John. Know that you, your mom and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Your dad beat this terrible disease so there's hope your mother will beat it as well!
Thoughts and prayers Johnny. Breast cancer is highly treatable, so keep that in mind! Your mom sounds awesome. I nearly cried just reading about y'all holding hands during At Dawn...so lovely. And that's awesome about your dad! As the Eagles (of Death Metal) would say...Keep your head up!
I'm so sorry to hear this news....but as mentioned, there have been many advances in this field, and it is a highly treatable form of cancer.
That being said, I know that there is a lot of fear involved with the C word, and it causes anxiety for everyone....Sounds like you have a tight knit group there, and I am sure that you will all bring each other through, no matter what....
We will toast your Mom in VT ;)
my next door neighbor is a lonely, miserable, bitter, 50something bitch. We live in townhomes so we share 1 wall.
We had a disagreement last week about my bass playing (at 7:30pm mind you). I haven't turned up the volume on my amp since I moved in 3 yrs ago. It's a 100w amp and the volume is less than 1/4th of max volume when I play. It's not loud, I would like it a lot louder, but out of respect, I leave it at a resonable volume. Anyway, she comes over last week and immediately gets in my face and starts screaming about the bass when I answer the door (not the best way to get a favorable reaction out of me). I inform her that it's 7:30 and that I'm not playing at an unreasonable volume, nor time. She informs me that "even when she turns the tv on, she can still hear it." Great so she expects to sit in a townhome with shared walls, in complete silence and not hear anything else going on in her world. That's realistic. I get tired of the getting yelled at and say "you ain't gonna talk like this to me on my own property" and tell her to get off my porch before slamming the door in her face. I lay off the bass for a few days to ease tension thinking i'm being the bigger person. That doesn't work. Her new tactic is pressing the panic button on her keychain while peeking out the window when I take my dog out to use the bathroom at night. It scares him and it really pisses me off. I actually caugh her peeking out the window and doing this last night so it hasn't just been a fluke.
Be mad at me, leave my fucking dog out of it. Well now she's woken a "sleeping dragon" if you will. This morning at 7am (start of non quiet hours per our HOA), I turn my rig on and pluck the B string several times. "Wakey Wakey!" I plan on holding several solo concerts from 7pm - 10pm, nightly from now own, with the volume adjusted to my liking, not what I think is reasonable. She crossed the line by fucking with my dog, who's a rescue and real timid (she knows that). I now aim to make her even more miserable than she currently is. I guarantee success in that effort. You want an asshole for a neighbor, I'll gladly oblige.
This lady has also complained to my guests before about me smoking bbq all day long. She claims she can't sit on her deck with all that smoke. Never aired her concern with me, the homeowner, just my guests. She's also been rude to several of my guests. I've always been respectful, but that's over and done with now. If it's in compliance with my HOA bylaws, I don't give a fuck she doesn't like it. She'll put a for sale sign out front long before I return the amp volume to volume level it's been at for the past 3 yrs.
I hope she's ready for what's coming. Should be real fun (at least on my end). Sorry for the rant.

:-/ that must be miserable, I hope everything goes smooth and she's alright. good luck yac attack, cancer is an asshole.
Thanks for the kind words. I knew I could count on you guys. My mom and I are uber-optimists, so it'll be fine. Still sucks, though. She's funny, saying "its not like I need 'em anymore!" Doctor today said full mastectomy is probably unnecessary.
And she insists that I go to the Jacket show that night!
Best to your family Johnny.
So sorry JYYac....i HATE cancer....hang in there...
Sorry to hear Johnny. Hope you're doing okay.
Thanks, again, everyone. I've posted this elsewhere, but I may have a ticket for the MMJ Holyoke show on Wednesday, as I need to be with her during surgery. PM or email if interested.
She can beat it Johnny! My Mother did...
Tell your moms to kick cancer in the ballsack, Yac!
Sad that the weekend is over and AMD and Lovedog left!
I've lost my passport, and I'm supposed to be flying to Seville to see my wife this weekend. My searches are becoming increasingly random - it doesn't help that I'm in the middle of a house move in the UK and everything's in boxes in about four different locations. Even more annoying is that I used the passport only three weeks ago...

She had a bumper sticker up for years now that said something about being happy when the jobs come back from India. Well, we have a bunch of contractors in for phase II of our system changes and guess where they be from? Yeah, the Indian Subcontinent. They didn't like the sticker. She was like fuck that, why they turning me in, I have freedom of speech and this is invading my personal space? Really, in a public office?
Life doesn't get anymore poetic than that man. hilarious. It's hard not to be cynical about that lady. I'm glad the Indian's finally got some payback, they get shit on all the time. India is like the US was in the 1950's only shittier and with way more people. Every outsourced Indian I've ever talked to has been nice as hell and I always make sure to compliment them and fluff them up so their supervisor hooks them up.
It sucks there is so much ignorance in the land of the free. haha. The only thing that could complete the package for this lady is if she is also a Mormon.

does this lockdown official ever go on any events with her girlfriends or anything? she obviously doesn't want to go with you? It'd be cool if there was some psychological reason she is making you stay home that you could adjust. Like is she telling you she doesn't want you to go because she doesn't understand why it's worth it to spend that much money to see a band that many times? Does she give you any bullshit about "You're too old for this shit" or something degrading your passion? If so, I think you deserve to go to T5 and I will brainstorm ways to manipulate your wife for you if you want. It sounds bad but we gotta get you to T5, you've been thru too much.
alright does your with go on canoe trips or go up north or for weekend getaways with friends ever? if not you should suggest this to her immediately. Some people just don't understand why certain things are so important, especially when it comes to truly loving music or a specific band. This a wise man told me in the hospital. Perhaps hope is lost for this weekend in new york. You're alive now, if you're alive the day of the concert with nothing to do you should like go to it... why sit at your house?
Can you sex her into letting you go? There are always options or compromise if it's truly something you love. These show are as important as your first born child, remember that. And be safe and if you she serves you papers it's not my fault these are merely suggestions...

mjk - i feel for you, really i do. i know that marriage and relationships are total give and take, and compromise all the time.
and i know it's not as simple, as just booking the flight and buying the tix..sounds like there would be total fallout from that....
i hope that you can both come to some sort of common ground about having fun and enjoying the ride a little bit more....why not take her out on a "date" and do some things that interest her a little bit ? sometimes it's easier to "roll" with resistance, than to meet it head on..
and by no means am i suggesting to take her out as a manipulative/getting your way thing....seriously, just to do some things that are fun for her (and hopefully you too). you need some mutually enjoyable activities..
then, who knows....maybe she would be a little bit happier and may see your point of view a little bit more ;)
hang in there

Mjk, I gifted tickets to my Brooklyn host and her husband for the Z and Evil Urges shows. He is now talking about going to see Phish those nights. So at the very least, I have 1 extra ticket for those shows (she is undecided right now, but I may have both tix available). I also have extra's for Tennessee Fire and At Dawn because my own husband can't make it due to school (he will join as of It Still Moves). So in the words of my husband, "I'm not
sayin', I'm just sayin'"...I have extras with your name on them
if it can work out.
And really, if I have to sell AJ's tix for TF and AD, he would love to see them in the hands of a fellow St. Louisan....
Appreciate that.....wish I could get it all to work out.
Mike, I realize we've never met....but.....
If I suddenly came into a bundle of money I would kick you down a good amount. Not only so you could quit your job, but so you could pack up the wife & a bunch of her friends for NYC. They could do their thing, you could do yours and all would be right in the world. :)
Think high and bright. You never know what can happen!
my facebook page got disabled by glenn beck fans when I was protesting his joke of a rally. what a fucked up world we live in. good thing the account was made purely for talking about politics. it's travesty tho. all I said was that they are all a bunch of evil mother fuckers and if jesus came back they would disgust him. I don't think that's THAT bad considering the drivel they spew. oh well, facebook is a piece of shit anyway. talk about a website with security issues that gives out way too much personal information.

Thanks. If I came into a ton of money, everyone would be in my backyard rockin the fuck out to a private concert from a certain 5 piece band from I think KY, eating some dynamite pork and homemade ice cream, and enjoyin the love.

I re-setup an account so I can dis on my local police officials and stuff again about legalization but I can't find your username it keeps giving me some indian persons user id.
my id thing is Stickyicky Greenstuff, I really hate how facebook is setup.
oh man I'm toasted from all this glenn beck bs today. it blows my mind. one guy said "when's the last time you've seen 500,000 people come together in peace" and wasn't there millions at the inauguration? that seemed peace haha. those people are so strange. I went for the calm approach my final stand and it went well. I'm tired of our system I want to move to the woods.
Maybe not millions, but definitely a fuckton of people.
Now that was a beautiful, peaceful gathering. They didn't even pat us down.

Teaching my 8th grade math class blew my mind today. I was trying to teach how to subtract integers like 7- (-4). I understand how to do this myself but trying to explain this to a group of 13 year olds just wasn't working today and to make things even worse our textbooks have not came in so I'm teaching the kids without books. That class may have been the low point in the 2 years I have been teaching; it was brutal.

7 - (-4) = 11....right?
Ophidiophobe, I'm sorry about the day teaching... I teach every here and there too at a local nature classroom in my neighborhood, and can relate to how such a day feels.....
capt, I do think you are correct though! Now THERE was a flashback to math class... whew good job!
I guess my current complaint is it's my first day back to work since I skipped town Aug. 8... I shouldn't really complain, it's a pretty easy job and during the summer it's only part-time... and I've had such a wonderful trip... but you know. I'd still really rather be high-tailin it up 'n' down Highway 1 all afternoon and being a beach bum!!! 8-)

Yep that is right! I spent almost 2 class periods trying to figure out how to teach this concept today, and it finally clicked after the first post. After I figured out how to explain this my students caught on super fast ;D

The hottest I've ever experienced is Havana in August (over 100, not including the humidity... and it was beer drinking in the morning humid). However, today Toronto just happens to be hotter than it is currently in Havana. I was in Tampa (Pass-a-Grille) a few years ago, but not in the summer.

Try peeing on your feet, If your scared have a friend pee on your feet for you. And you should probably pee on Yims feet also just in case. It's kinda cure-all, it works great for gingivitis .
In all seriousness I hope you get better.

As weird as this sounds, it's the best advice you can get. Back in my younger days, I was a wrestler (scholastic, not that WWF nonsense). Ringworm was a constant problem due to the moisture from sweat in the mats. It's kinda gross to think of peeing on you own feet, but it really does work. If it freaks you out too much, just pretend you just got stung by a jellyfish & you need to pee on the affected area for pain relief :P
okay, cave men, do you think the dermatologist just gave me a tube of urine cream? i mean this stuff is serious. pee is not going to kill it unless i'm peeing on it every hour...i don't know..i'm no doctor but ...
we need the R Kelly Dave Chappelle clip right about now.

I'm not denying that it sounds weird & gross. I was prescribed tons of creams for ringworm. It honestly just doesn't work as well as pee. Scouts honor! But to each their own.

Please, no urine shots. Pics doing the June Cleaver would be okay.
This question is for the peeps that stand up when they pee, Have you ever been unfortunate enough to be standing at a urinal that does not have a divider and your wearing flippie floppies and shorts and caught some spray back on your feet from the dude pissin next to you ? I haven't :)
Or, your the only dude pissin in a bank of a 20 urinals and some ritard decides to take the one right next to you and strike up a conversation. It's like an un-written rule that your at least 2 or 3 urinals away. WTF I don't need another friend, shut the fuck up and stare straight ahead at that booger with the hair stickin out of it thats stuck to the wall.
Sorry, it's been a horribly long day.
Yes, you need pisser buffer space. I hate it when people do that, especailly at the airport. Come one, there are 20 free spaces and you want the one next to me? I hate urinal banks without the divider.
whoa three pages of complaints involving pee. my mind is blown.

it's cool I'm just messin with ya. my friend dave had ringworm really bad in high school, he had it on his torso tho, it was fucked up looking. he got some ointment like you and it went away. never heard about peeing on it.

So my girl and her twin sister picked up some puppies off the road back in early June and we(she) decided to keep one. He's a pretty cheerful dog, looks to be part lab. Her parents have been keeping him out at their home in the country since we live in town, he would have more places to go instead of being chained up at our house in town. Last Thursday they came home to a neighbor having him, said he was hit by a car. He had to have surgery on his back hip and his front right leg is in a cast. I've gotta squeeze him so he can go one and two. The tramadol isn't helping him sleep at night( maybe I should share them with him.) The vet is a joke, he looks and speaks like he's on ketamine when we talk to him. I've gotta work in the morning and she can't make grizzly(the pup) go to the one and two. Jesus where art thou?

Thank you for your concern nymph.

Internets are being watched at work. I do get a fair amount of downtime because I work fast so it's a lot of hurry up and wait, so what the hell am I supposed to do now? Wander around and socialize? awww fuck it.

Hey, I cannot help it I got a sweet ass!

So I'm in sales and at this time of the year I am pretty much working until I go to bed at night, besides the hour I try to squeeze in for kickoxing and the occasional TV show. My roomate, who is also in sales, works from home everyday and can pretty much decide her own schedule.
I find it difficult to sleep most nights due to the fact that my brain is always thinking about something work-related. There are some nights where I rely on Tylenol PM to put me out. I'm up early every monring for work, while my roomate sleeps until 8:30/9. Fridays are the only days when I don't have to be up super early, so I enjoy being able to catch a few extra winks.
This morning was not the case. At 4:45am I'm woken up to noises coming from the kitchen. Apparently my roomate decided that it was the best time for her to wash all of the dishes she has been letting pile up in that sink as well as clean the rest of the kitchen. Once I wake up, I'm usually up, and being pissed off on top of that doesn't help me relax.
I finally start falling back asleep as I hear her leaving the apartment, probably to go workout at the fitness center since she is obviously UP. It's a short sleep as I'm again startled awake at 7:15 as she she is now cleaning the living room when she returns, yelling at her cat, and closing cabinet doors loudly. It just boggles my mind since I am always the first one up and give her the courtesy of being as quiet as I can be so as to not disturb her.
So needless to say, I'm totally exhausted already. Oh and in between sleeps I dreamt that she had hidden my "It's gonna be a bright, bright, bright sunshiny day" coffee mug and wouldn't tell me where it was so even my dream wasn't pleasant.
Meh. >:(
End rant.

sorry lil sis...
one of the reasons i can't have a roommate
have you tried yoga after work also maybe a shot of wild turkey before bed ;)
My new jacket has a major design flaw, one that I found out about the hard way. After attending my friend's CD release party last night at a bar in Toronto's Little Portugal, I checked my jacket and couldn't find my house keys. I believe the reason for this was that my fucking new jacket has BIG HOLES in the inner pockets... BY DESIGN! Well, I ended up walking to work from the bar and getting my temporary roommate's keys. Fuck, I went to bed at 3:45 after being up at 5am.
Why can't the cute flirty coffee shop guy just slip his number in the bag with my bagel?
I mean really, is that so much to ask?
Corollary: why do I always go for the coffee shop guy? :-?

I actually don't drink coffee. I suppose that's the weird part of it. ;D

Because of what happened the last time, when the cute girl's boyfriend found the cute flirty coffee shop guy's number while eating his bagel.

you should smear your number on the bagel with the cream cheese, then take your tray up and tell him that you were appalled by the bug you found in the bagel, then wink at him and leave.
If that's not hot, I don't know what is. ;D
Well I was going to tell you to smear it on your chest,
but I'm not sure what your boundaries are... ;)
That's hawt PL.

the only way you'll get that dude to remove anything is if you can think of a way to make him think you can sue him or something. i've been using phrases like "we've talked to management, etc" "there will be a lawsuit if the media is not taken down"etc. but as said on steamengine the admin is mod'ing comments.
Penny you're a lawyer, is there anything illegal about ripping somebodies website and putting it up as your own??

A good cease & desist letter should work. I've been writing them at work, I can help you on Mon if you want. (i'm not a lawyer yet, there are tons on here but i can help you with this if you want)
as for the actual issue of what he's doing, i think that's el chode's specialty, so i'm fairly certain but i'll check with him.
Been at work for 5 hours. Bored, tired, and here til 7PM.
And Im missing football >:(

hmm, there's something about getting legal advice from a dude named chode that weirds me out... I thought you were basically a lawyer you just have to take the bar exam? who else is a lawyer here beside you and the chode? can't say I give much of a fuck about the dbag stealing stuff, was more curious if you can stop people from making a mirror of your blog/website without your permission.
it's shady but it's not surprising to me. i'm more surprised it's taken this long for another jacket archive to pop up, even if it is the same exact one, word for word, post for post.

well that's why chode (the intellectual property guru can help)...the same rules that apply to stealing likeness in other areas of life don't always apply to the cyber world so i'm not sure. you don't really need facts to back up a C&D letter, it's just a scare tactic that usually works. i wrote one for American Apparel for my friend at work and it worked...
as for the other thing, not sure but i don't think i'm a lawyer because i'm not licensed to practice anywhere yet but maybe i am. i heard my friend call herself one and she took the bar but doesn't know if she passed yet so...i'm just hesitant to use that word probably. it congers up the idea that i know what i'm talking about. and i don't...
where's the confidence penny? nobody knows what they're talking about. it's interesting stuff, computer laws. there doesn't seem to be many internet laws.

You will be missed more than you know. This just sucks but you've got some awesome things on your horizon. You need to rest up for that wedding, too! You'll be there in spirit, I'll have to drink double for you, which I had planned on doing anyway since you were going to be the designated driver!
Best to you and the baby and the wedding Vespa. Plenty more shows to bring the little one to. :)
Thanks peeps! I am soooooo bummed to be missing this monster event!!! I will be thinking about all the awesome stuff I'm missing while you're rockingout, boozing it up, making good friends, and getting Maker's spots all over your shirts..... Feel free to send in-time-pix-texts as no doubt I will be losing my mind in teh old hospital bed. At least we know the baby will be born in the best possible environment. A small price to pay.
That sucks Vespa, hopefully everything goes well with the delivery.

It probably won't be the same without vespa rockin out. I wish you and your growing family the best and hopefully your hospital bs isn't too intense and they let you out early. Good luck, poop that kid on out.
If I was preggo and going to have a baby around the time of the T5 shows, I would definitely go to the shows and pop it out right on the floor during Dondante or something

I love when people talk about something they obviously have no experience with. Like when virgins talk about sex like they know everything...or they act like it's no big deal. Your comments are a perfect example of this...you think you know what you're talking about. SIGS...I am assuming you don't have any children, at least ones that you know of. Until you do have kids, you won't know the true bliss that comes with them. I would never compare MMJ to having children...there is no comparison. The wonderful experiences that I have with my kids bring an entirely new joy to my life.
vespa...our hearts and souls are with you and your little one. The power & strength of the female body will always amaze me...

Not able to get out of work 4 hours early (now) or use paid time off to be able to make to the 30th anniversary of Bob Marley's final show, which was surprisingly here in the Burgh. All his sons and the original Wailers and other special guests are recreating his last show. Man am I bummed. I put Marley on my Top 5 shows I wish I couldve seen :(
my friend just got hit with a felony for having a couple of quarters of chronic. they were different strains so he had them separated ya know? it's like candy or some shit. busted him for distribution just like that. I tried calling him today to see what was up but couldn't get in touch. hopefully they don't fuck him as bad as I think they are going to try.
it's fucked to me that the cop searched him because he "thought he smelled pot" or whatever. then they called the dogs in and it was all over I guess. he's such a good person and nice guy overall but he keeps getting fucked. It's the evil sheriff of oakland county Bouchard cracking down hard on dispensaries and smokers. outrage is what I feel. a FELONY FOR WEED?! wtf.

I am ready for the day to be over! My last group of kids is killing me today. I'm seriously writing this with less than 30 minutes until school is out, but I'm ready to choke a couple of kids no F'ing joke.

My record player is my current complaint. It keeps playing albums in a key higher. For example if I were to play an album its sounds like someone put a capo on the first fret of all the guitars. Does that make sense? Does anyone know what is wrong with it? :-/

Well, first I assume that you have it set at the right speed ;)
If that's not the issue, if it's belt-driven, maybe you need a new belt? If it's direct drive you won't have one. That's all I got lol.

I've had ongoing battles with insomnia for years, it really sucks. Got a script for Ambien, but that shit makes me feel awful the next day, so I never take them. I concur with Bigsky, bong hits (and a roll in the hay with your sig-other) usually helps! And a glass of wine (helps me at least).
Don't go to bed until your definitely ready to sleep. Reading a book for a bit before can help as well.
Walterfredo...all good suggestions. Any or all of them work for me! (preferably all 3 combined). Also exercise! Just wear yourself out and you're bound to want to sleep (and sleep better). Also (so I've heard) regular sleep schedules. I've never been able to do this, but someday plan on giving it a try. I just never want to go to bed at night...not that I can't sleep...just have lots to do at night and don't want to go to work in the morning!!!

RC, I also noticed a few posts above that you've been stressed out lately. For me, when I'm carrying a lot of stress, I always sleep poorly (or not at all). The last couple months have been horrible for sleep 'cause work's been grinding me up. I find that if I can exercise really hard in the early evenings, then have a good, full meal, that helps me get some sleep. Finding the time to exercise and eat well is a challenge sometimes...
But, whatever you can do to manage the stress might help you to sleep better too. :)

I was going to say, whenever I do a lot of yard work...I have no problems sleeping. Also, when I am too stressed about something, I try to think about stuff that interests me.

I am not religious in the traditional sense, but I believe in the human spirit and the power of that spirit. I see the human spirit being defined as the soul...the energy of our spirit. I believe that the capabilities of this energy are endless. Religion to me is the collective energy formed by individual spirits. I also think it is always helpful for people to share energies, but the most powerful one is our own. May your spirit be strong and clear during this challenge, but always remember that you are never alone.

However, I wish I have positive thoughts for me right right now. I'm prepping for a colonoscopy - I go under the invasive camera tomorrow at noon. I'm terrified, although I've had one before. The stuff I have to drink right now makes me yearn for warm Bud and/or Old Milwaulkee. I'd even drink a Blue Light.
Sending good vibes to both of you.
Not usually a complainer, but feeling particularly challenged by the atmosphere at my job today. it's never the work, it's the people i work with who cause me stress.....and especially when you have a dual relationship -- coworker/friend -- makes it tougher sometimes than if you just had no relationship other than coworker.
I am also quite sensitive, but I just think that people can be so f'ing nasty sometimes.....I need to not sink to this level, but some days are tougher than others.
k-thanks. i will stop complaining now :)
Quotesome days are tougher than others.
This is the truth. Coworker/friends can be very tricky sometimes.
Hang in there, lady. Tomorrow's a new day.
A torn retina! :(
Wish I could say it was a result of 12 rounds in the ring with Manny Pacquiao....but it's just because I've got duff eyes!

You both are invited to go see DBT with me...
I won't put pressure on you to smoke crack this time.

I was raised Catholic, too and the guilt is hard to shake. Argh...
Life is too short for regrets. Be honest, but do what you want to do. People will get over it faster than you think.

Do we need a support group here? It's all good Ky. We were drunk when we made those plans.
Hahahahahahaha. We obviously need a "recovering Catholic" support group and/or thread.
I don't know who else to discuss this with save from my fiancee but I just got a call that I didn't get a job I was really counting on...I don't want pity from this as I currently am in a job which I love (albeit low-paying). I am a clinical therapist with a license in clinical social work at a community mental health center. However, the job I would have gotten (came down to myself 27 yrs old and a 42 yr old with 17 years experience) would have been a dream job as a clinician for a state-run mental health facility and would have been a 20 grand pay increase which is something I really could have used right now. Kind of a punch to the gut. :-/

Hey wolof7, sorry to hear that you didn't get the job! I know how hard that is...never feels good to not be picked for something. As you know turnover is high in some of these facilities, so hopefully something better will come along.
On a personal note, I am a licensed therapist as well, working within a cmhc framework, but at a university. Have you ever thought about exploring that area? the benefits and pay are much better than community settings, and there tends to be a lot more room for growth.
where do you live? i am in jersey, at umdnj-robert wood johnson medical school in the dept of psychiatry. i do clinical trials and stuff like that.
keep doing the work that you love, because many people don't get to say that, and hopefully the rewards and money will follow.....soon!
working til 1130pm on Xmas Eve >:(
Came up to NY to visit mom for Christmas. I was suppose to leave Tuesday (stand-by) to Colorado & spend NYE with my wonderful wife. Now I'm lucky if I can get there Friday before midnight :'(. Silver lining, I should be able to scalp a ticket to the sold out Phish show Thursday. There should be a few tickets available now because of all this damn snow :o.

My part time(second job) is in a supermarket deli....it is sooooooo filthy it's embarrassing....one person can only do so much. The other people there don't care and I'm afraid someone is going to get sick from cross contamination . I always seem to have a knack for finding the crappy job....i wonder if MMJ is looking for any "roadies" ::)

that would be awesome if they'd pick you up as a roadie! but until then, keep your chin up and stay focused on the righteous path...you reap what you sew and you work damn hard, so good things are coming your way. 2010 was a good year for you-- you married your lady, right?! hang in there, BC!!
have to spend the next 4 hours with someone i really don't care for...ugh. Game Face - ON

Sorry for venting but....
...Just got in a fight with a treating psychiatrist over a client we share. This asshole is the most pretentious, patronizing doctor I've had the misfortune to work with. He does more harm to our clients than good and unfortunately the company I work for is unwilling to give this guy up. I have good working relationships w/ most including most MD's but when things are jeopardizing the mental health and safety of my clients and potentially other workers I have to say shit and instead of collaborating this guy would rather go into these vague nonsensical overly clinical diatribes about our communication deficits.....A simple discussion just escalated and he just slipped a 2 page handwritten letter under my office door to discuss our issues further....I don't have the friggin time for this nor do I want to rehash something that could have been handled in a matter of seconds if he only knew how to communicate (something a psychiatist should know how to do).

Good news! I am glad the surgery went well, anesthesia can be tough on dogs.
My older dog, Junior, will be 14 at the end of April. I picked him out of a litter when he was 2 days old. He is my best friend. It freaks me out that he is 13, but I have recently come to terms with it. We are just enjoying every day, doing all his favorite things. I hope your buddy gets better soon.
I broke my computer's screen. So I have very little forum opportunities. I guess the good thing is is that my computer didn't brake, just my screen. Not sure when I'll get it fixed. I'm hoping that I can just order a replacement and put it in myself. Probably wishful thinking, because I know very little about computer thangs.
I got the Black Keys Blues. :'(
THE BLACK KEYS HAVE CANCELLED THEIR NZ & AUSTRALIAN TOUR
It is with incredible regret that Love Police and Billions Australia bring the bad news that THE BLACK KEYS will not be heading to Australia and New Zealand for their shows scheduled to begin in Wellington on Thursday. The band will also not be performing at any Big Day Out festivals throughout both countries.
This from the band's management;
"The Black Keys are sorry to announce the cancellation of the New Zealand and Australian tour including all appearances at the Big Day Out touring festival as well as a portion of the European tour in March. An arduous year of touring and promotion has drained the band and necessitated time off. Dan and Patrick wish to thank all of you who have shown such incredible support since the release of Brothers and have helped make the album a success."
The band was to perform sold out headline shows in Wellington, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne as well as performing at all the Big Day Outs.
Ticket refunds for The Black Keys headline shows only should be sought at place of purchase.
Oh, weenie, that's terrible. I'm sorry. Hopefully they'll get some rest and come back your way soon!

Michigan's new governor Rick Synder is giving his State of the State address right now. he makes me want to blow my head off. so boring, so droning, so horribly vague. he made michigan a little dashboard computer thing, wtf? so fucking lame.

Looks like my lady-friend might be moving. We've only been dating for almost 2 months, but it still SUUUUUUXXXXX. She got a job op in Cleveland. Good for her, I guess, but I think I'm going to be single forever. Oh well. She hasn't really decided for sure yet, but she has until Monday. I have a feeling she'll take the job and move, as the job she's stuck in sucks as much as mine, and this is the career path they're recommending to her. She mentioned before that I should move with her if she moves, but...hmm. If I move, I don't really think it's going to be to Cleveland...although I've never been there so I shouldn't bash it.

That does suck, man! I can't stop meeting girls from out of town but the long distance thing is not that bad. When you do get together it's magical and you have more freedom in the interim. Good luck!
Having the time of your life aMD?! ;D

Looks like my lady-friend might be moving. We've only been dating for almost 2 months, but it still SUUUUUUXXXXX. She got a job op in Cleveland. Good for her, I guess, but I think I'm going to be single forever. Oh well. She hasn't really decided for sure yet, but she has until Monday.

I got cabin fever baaaaad, 2 weeks ago I took my Harley out for a ride when it got into the mid forties just to blow the cobwebs out, man did it feel good. Then we got more snow and ice and it seems like winter ain't gonna let go. C"MON spring, I'm tired of looking at black snow on the side of the road.

Man I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully your tickets end up in hands of some people that will appreciate 'em. I feel your pain. I missed Dr. Dog and Futurebirds due to illness. :'(
Hope you're back to life again by now, wolof! The flu is the absolute worst...... missing music is insult added to injury for sure :-\
My biological clock is absolutely f'd about daylight savings this year... I just woke up, and it would have been 8:30 like it is everyday, but no. 9:30. So I have this feeling of "wow, why didn't my body wake me up on time?...." Then it hits me of course that it was perfectly on time, but time is just f'd. I know we all go through it, but as time goes by and I get older, it just makes less and less sense... we're an insane species.... sheeewwwww /end rant ::)

Thanks, WN I do feel a whole lot better. But alas one week's misfortune begets another as a woman rammed into my parked Subaru last night. She did come and get me to let me know as I was having a family dinner which was good but stated she has to pay out of pocket bc her insurance co. is "ready to drop" her. The whole front side panel will need to be replaced and the driver's side door won't open. My car is a trooper and I'm trying to not let it get to me, accidents happen, but my car has had a really tough year. :-\
...And yesterday totally f'd me up too. I am usually up early and the morning felt like it was half over before I got started. I don't like that feeling.

Oh

I'm pulling for an "it's always darkest before the dawn" scenario for you, wherein you will be starting a lucky streak any second now!

Oh no. What kind of sick, Chicken?

Maybe she's just broody? Does she look okay otherwise?
Hope she makes a quick recovery, and if not, I'm real sorry TBC :'(

Current (and recurring) complaint: my internet at home. I really need to send a bunch of music to a bunch of people (you know who you are) but I can't upload anything! Grr. It either exceeds my daily limit or times out due to slow speed. I used to do it at work but I got a virus on my work computer and can't chance screwing anything else up. I need to just man up and buy a laptop so I can take the computer to a place with better internet.

Sorry, Mark. My thoughts are with you.
It's cool mang. It's hard to explain, none of it has really set in yet. It feels like I'm still in denial or shock. My grandma was an expected death, but Matt's, simply tragic. He was two years young than me so when I was a senior in high school Matt was a sophomore. a few really good friends and I had some electives with him and he quickly became like our little brother. not a mean bone in the kids body, we'd pretend to be racist robots talking all stupid, goofing around in class. after high school I would run into him from time to time and he'd call me a "f-aggo-t" in a robot voice and it always made me laugh. I know that kind of humor is frowned upon here but to me Matt Ortega saying that word as a robot is one of the funniest things I've ever heard in my entire life. It was groundbreaking comedy for such a young kid. Motorcycle death. maybe I'll put on One in the Same and vibe out for a minute.. I'm a pallbearer at my grandmas funeral and have never done that so it will be an emotional couple-o-days here for sure. I'm glad there's a secure location of happiness to come to like this. thanks john E yac.

appreciate the sympathy. things are fine, it was nice being able to get that clot of thoughts out. it was like a thoughtgasm of relief. thankful to be alive really. I was cutting myself earlier while listening to some old conor oberst demos and right before I hit the main vein I saw a rainbow and hesitated. things are going to be okay I think. bigchicken you still owe me two sqwakers.

I'll keep you in my thoughts, Sticky. I'm in that same painful and confusing place right now too. I just found out that my cousin died of a drug overdose. His wife left him, and he went off the grid somewhere in New Orleans until now...
dealing with death is definitely the weirdest feeling on this earth. His name was Triston, and he was a great guy, much like your friend sounds to have been.

same to you easyryder, sorry about your cousin. OD's are horrible. as a young lad I'm starting to realize the older you get the more often people die. and apparently life likes to be random about it. I always end up thinking about the f'd up embalming part and getting stuffed in the slide out cabinets in the morgue with my mouth tied shut and guts emptied out. Still think decomposing is cooler than cremation. at least if I get buried and decompose my particles, energy, and left over radition will soak into the organic material around me spreading my life force into the earth. when I die watch out for volcano eruptions and earthquakes. I'm going to haunt the fuck out of shit. heaven sounds like it'd be boring but I'd give it a shot.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you, lady!
Getting dumped into 2 special projects which means I'm off my normal job until these are done. I'm trapped in a never ending Excel hell. All I see are f'n gridlines. :-\
I've used all my sick days (11 of 'em) with 2 months to go in the school year, only 2 of them for myself, and my kids just won't stop puking! My wife's sick days are dwindling, too. First it was the 3 yr. old, laying upon my chest when she 'gurged on me. Tonight, my middle child lays a nice trail from her bed to the bathroom. Calgon, take me away!
Im late Sticky, but that is some hard shit to deal with and Im sorry to hear that. I couldnt imagine family & friend in that close a time frame. I still have yet to have a loved one go, but Ive seen dozens of people pass in the hospital, and at times even that is hard to deal with because of how good that person or their family is..Life is crazy, thats why I say live it up. I might be a week or so late but at least you get my prayers on 4.20 dude
This currently complaint has affected me pretty badly, and this is the first time I've felt okay to put it down on paper or in a forum since it happened. It's also opened my eyes to something that I was completely oblivious to.
For about 9 months my wife and I exercised a dog who was owned by people who I would class as acquaintances rather than friends, but we thought they were decent people. The dog they had was supposedly a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and his name was Alonso (named after the Spanish racing driver Fernando Alonso). The first time we met Alonso at the stables where he lived he was tied to a long rope and was straining at it as we approached. My wife is very wary of dogs but I am comfortable around them, and although he looked quite scary I went up to him and all he wanted was a bit of attention. Anyway, needless to say we both formed a really close bond with the dog and my wife grew to feel totally comfortable with him. He was friendly, incredibly powerful, not very well trained, but brilliant around another dog and fantastic with children. The young boys would regularly chase him around trying to rugby tackle him and he would just skip out of their way. He never displayed one sign of aggression.
The more we walked him the less the owners seemed to bother with him and they were always joking that we should keep him. That wasn't an option because we work in London and would be out of the home from 7am until 6pm every night, and we never thought they were serious anyway. It was always a joke with them. Still we'd regularly take him out for 2 hour walks at the weekends, and he seemed like he had a pretty good life at the stables.
At which point one day, the owner's told us completely out of the blue that they had taken him to be "re-homed". They had given no indication that they were going to do it. I was a bit perturbed, but thought it was their right to re-home their dog if it didn't suit them. After a couple of days I couldn't really settle and I was curious to know where he had been re-homed and what was going to happen to him. So after asking them where they took him I found out that they took him to a vet and he would then enter the re-homing "process". I spoke to the vet who said that Alonso had been taken by the council dog warden and would be held for 7 days in case the owners claimed him. When I said that the owners had brought him in he said, "No - this dog was brought in as a stray." The fuckers had abandoned their own dog as a stray. He had no name or identity that might help him be re-homed.
I managed to contact the council dog warden who told me that during the 7 days the dog would be "assessed" for re-homing, but that on initial tests the dog was displaying aggression to other dogs in the council dog pound. If that were to be the final outcome the dog would be put to sleep.
I decided to go back to the owners and tell them I had found out what they did. And they looked at me and pretended they had no idea that was what was likely to happen. Even though they then knew they had the possibility of going to get the dog back and save it's life they did nothing.
This is where things got hard for me when I managed to find a guy from a rescue charity who told me he could get the dog out of "death row". He came back to me and told me that Alonso wasn't a pure bred Staffy but that he was a Staffy / Pit Bull cross and that the warden was very reluctant to release him. Pit Bulls are a banned breed in this country, but breeders are mixing them up with other breeds to bypass the law. It didn't matter to me that he was a Pit Bull cross but there is a huge stigma about them over here. What I'm getting to is that I was told they would let us take the dog but nobody else. And we had to make the hardest decision we've ever had to make in our lives. Alonso was a dog that was used to living outside, he wasn't house trained, he had no concept of living indoors, he was incredibly powerful, he had picked up some bad habits. We live in a relatively small house with a tiny garden, a cat, and he would have been left alone to destroy God knows what for 11 hours a day. I spent sleepless night after sleepless night thinking of a way to save him. And I had to come to the conclusion that it was unrealistic, as well as being unfair on my wife. She would have gone for it if I'd said we'd take him, but I thought I had to make the right decision.
I hope people can understand the dilemma I was in. Nobody officially told me that Alonso had been put to sleep - they thought it was better for us not to know. But I know that was his fate. Every day I feel guilt and wonder if I made the wrong decision. The guy from the charity told me I had made the right decision but I don't know if he was just being kind. Believe me - every day I feel tremendous guilt and feel like I failed Alonso. It's been about 2 months now and it still hasn't gone away.
Anyway, as a result of what happened to Alonso I have since felt the need to try and help dogs that end up in a similar position. I have found a local rescue place that specialises is saving dogs from "death row" and pays for them to stay in boarding kennels while the charity tries to re-home them. I'm now a volunteer dog walker who gets the dogs out and gives them some exercise. They often don't get any exercise for 3 or 4 days so are pretty wound up and full of energy. Getting highly stressed dogs out of the kennels while all the other dogs are barking through the doors is a pretty intense experience but once you get them outside they are completely different. We've also now put our names forward to foster a dog on a short-term basis, so that when we are on vacation we can take a dog and give it a break from kennel life.
Sorry for the long ramble but it was just something I needed to get off my chest, and I thought the good people of the MMJ forum was the place to do it. Plus the fact that it's the only forum I post on!
So my complaint is that these people are lowlife scum for doing what they did to Alonso. I hope they get their comeuppance for it. I wish I could have done more. Here's a picture of our buddy and this is a shameless link to a fantastic organisation. I'm sure the problem is worldwide, but if you are in the UK you might want to have a look and maybe even make a small donation:

RIP Alonso - hopefully you didn't go in vain and we can save some more in your memory.

Paulie-
Thanks for sharing the story. I was completely captivated. Sounds like although it was an awful decision, it was the right one. You've even managed to ge something positive out of the calamity by volunteering to walk dogs. I'm now inspired to look for a similar opportunity local to me, so your impact is already spreading!
Hey Paulie--
I totally sympathize with your journey man. I too am a dog nut and had my own emotional battle over letting go of my best friend of 14 years (from puppyhood) Teddy back in 09. I am sure when the right one comes along you'll be a great dog dad. :thumbsup:
Thanks for sharing your story Paulie. As a dog lover who has a number of friends who are active in the animal rescue community, your personal story resonates with me greatly. I had no idea that pit bulls are banned in England! I love pit bulls but sadly the numbers of them that are put down on a daily basis in Baltimore are just horrifying.
I hope you find your volunteer work rewarding man!
Great but saddening story Paulie. If you couldnt care for the dog, you made the right decision. Sounds like youre maximizing the experience though and helping other dogs in need as much as you can...Helping out humane societies by walking dogs actually sounds pretty cool, might look into that.
Thanks for sharing Paulie. That's just not fair. You did over and above for sure man and it seems to have ended in a positive. Celebrate your time with him instead of thinking of the ending! El Nano! Alonso!
Thanks all. I've only been doing the walking a few weeks now but yesterday was the first day a dog I had been walking got re-homed. It's a good feeling and makes up for the difficult part of visiting the dogs in the kennels.
Trouble is I wanna take all the dogs home with me! Except I know it will have to wait until later in life when I hopefully don't have to work!
Good on ya, Paulie, for finding a way to give back. :thumbsup:
First day of Spring Break! Ahhh... New Hampshire.

I hear you about the weather though. We didn't get any snow here at the shore in Jersey(like how I worded that?),but it sure was chilly. 46 degrees and windy yesterday, and rain today.
Hope the rest of your break is better.
The Conservative Party won in a majority in tonight's Canadian election. This is bad news for democracy. One great thing is the New Democrat Party became the official opposition for the first time in Canadian history. I feel a little sick and a little ok.
Work (like that's anything new). Been working 60-70 hours the last month or so. I'm not allowed to even apply for a new role at this point as my bosses are not allowing me to move on because they cannot afford to lose my expertise. They are even making jokes about it. So sick of this shit. My bosses boss won't do anything about it either.
Also, when the fuck did being salary mean you are expected....I mean required to work more then 40 hours. Why should I have to pull double duty, without a raise or a bonus, because I'm surrounded by a bunch of goldbricks.

Oh lord this sounds familar. It's almost as if salary is a trap. Sure, you're guaranteed the same amount of $ no matter what you work in your pay period. But you can be sure your boss / superior will take all sorts of advantage of you. Keep your head up, man! I'm sure there are positions outside of your current employer that will appreciate the hell out of your commitment & not work rape you constantly.
This is almost like a joy + a complaint. On 1 hand, I got thru both of the 7 week courses this semester after having to wait a year to get back in the program. :bath:
I had to wait a year because I missed the first couple "clinical days" last year because I was sick (and March-May is the only time the class is offered). First day was basically syllabus day except 8 hours long, next day we were actually in the hospital. Despite it being the beginning of the semester and me not having my prof's contact info, they still thought I shouldve got a hold of her somehow and informed her why I wasnt there. End result, I had to withdraw from school because she was going to automatically fail me and I couldnt get my degree without this course, and it made more sense to come back now since once Id graduate Id still have to pass state boards and all the info would be fresher. (Silver lining - if I didnt have to withdraw, I wouldve still been in school last year, and T5 wouldve been impossible 8)).
...So today I take my last final, and I have to sign off on the same professor's clinical review of me (even though this class was community health, so she was never around me except once a week for lecture). She said that she thought I had an attitude problem, but she didnt want to put that in on my review and fail me because of it. I asked what kind of attitude problem, and she said I was "flippant" among other things which apparently means "lacking proper respect or seriousness", and said I would show up to class right before it started and acted like she should be happy I was there. Man, I almost "flipped" out on her, but thankfully kept my composure (This was after finding out she gave me a 75% on our community assessment which the class avg was over 90%, and took a ridiculous amount of time, as well). Sure, I didnt arrive 10 minutes early every class, but I also got to class on time and didnt miss any classes. Its school, not work, since when was arriving 5-10 minutes early protocol? Also, you think I have an attitude problem? No shit I have an attitude problem, you are the sole reason I had to leave school and wait an entire year to get back into the program and finally get into a career where Im making solid money. And its not like I dont think she kept her first impression of me from last year fresh in her mind, I pretty much guarantee that, because my "attitude problem" sounds like her perception, not something I actually did/am doing. Its all good in the end (for now), but damn, what a frustrating 10 minutes. I'll admit Im never going to be that person who shows up early everyday, is chock full of questions for you, has my clothes freshly ironed, etc, but I still cant believe she had the audacity to say that to me after making me basically take a year of my life to do nothing but wait to get back to school because she was going to fail me for missing a couple classes. My #1 goal in life is getting my degree and RN licensure, my #2 goal very well might be impregnating her daughter so some part of me will be around her for the rest of her waking life.

I've struggled with my own personal stance in the past on the subject of the death penalty. But when I read things stories like this, and realize that I have to contribute my taxes to what could turn out to be over a million dollars for a devil like this, it makes me extremely angry. There has to be a better way.
Outside of Missouri and Illinois, you may have never heard of Chris Coleman or his story. And let me tell you, you are better off not knowing. Just know that he is guilty of the most heinous premeditated crime that you could possibly imagine and leave it there. Your mind will be a better place not reading about it. This article is just a short snipit of the annual cost of housing a prisoner.

My dumbass got stuck by a century plant in my knee a few weeks ago. My knee started bothering me and has continually been getting worse. I finally went to get it checked out yesterday and now I'm waiting to be admitted for surgery to flush it out And... I apparently can't leave until Sunday at the earliest so they can monitor the infection. I am majorly bummed. I can't say I'm not looking forward to that morphine drip, though. Mmmmm. :coffee:
Good luck My Brother in Jackethood!

Thanks. Surgery went well. The doc found some pre-existing damage so he had to do a micro-fracture while he was in there. He said he had to "poke" some holes in some damaged cartilage to create scar tissue that will strengthen the cartilage. But now I'm supposed to be on crutches for six weeks as opposed to two when he just thought he needed to flush out the infection. I'm hoping beyond hope that I can get out of here today, but I don't think that's going to happen. This has been a really weird freaky experience. One cool thing though... I had my surgery and I'll be doing my rehab at The Andrews Institute - as in Dr. James Andrews who I'm sure all you sports nuts know. It's pretty neat seeing all of the photos and jerseys hanging up in that place.

Quote from: ArticleThe Pima County Regional SWAT team fired 71 shots in seven seconds at a Tucson man they say pointed a gun at officers serving a search warrant at his home.
Jose Guerena, 26, a former Marine who served in Iraq twice, was holding an AR-15 rifle when he was killed, but he never fired a shot, the Sheriff's Department said Monday after initially saying he had fired on officers during last week's raid.
Quote from: ArticleThe Sheriff's Department put in a call to Drexel Heights fire at 9:43 a.m. requesting assistance with a shooting. But crews were told to hold off.
Guerena was dead by the time they were allowed in the house, fire officials said.

"When I came out the officers dragged me through the kitchen and took me outside, and that's when I saw him laying there gasping for air," Vanessa Guerena said. "I kept begging the officers to call an ambulance that maybe he could make it and that my baby was still inside."

Glad to hear you are doing better Jon T. I hope your knee is better and that they actually fixed it. I'm familiar with the good ole presurgery grant of doctor discretion waiver that gives them carte blanche fixing shit that don't need fixin' ;D
I was hoping to cross paths with you on Thursday but perhaps some other time. :)
Any idears for a better night's sleep? I'm getting maybe 4 hours if I'm lucky and it's not very restful. Only have 1 sometimes 2 cups of coffee early in the morning. No soda, decent diet, plenty of exercise, plenty of water. I'm trying to avoid pills as I already feel enough like a damn zombie.

more sex :o :o :o
i am fresh.
seriously though, here are some sleep hygiene tips:
Maintain a regular sleep routine
Go to bed at the same time. Wake up at the same time. Ideally, your schedule will remain the same (+/- 20 minutes) every night of the week.
Avoid naps if possible
Each of us needs a certain amount of sleep per 24-hour period. We need that amount, and we don't need more than that.
When we take naps, it decreases the amount of sleep that we need the next night – which may cause sleep fragmentation and diffulty initiating sleep, and may lead to insomnia.
Don't stay in bed awake for more than 5-10 minutes.
If you find your mind racing, or worrying about not being able to sleep during the middle of the night, get out of bed, and sit in a chair in the dark. Do your mind racing in the chair until you are sleepy, then return to bed. No TV or internet during these periods! That will just stimulate you more than desired.
If this happens several times during the night, that is OK. Just maintain your regular wake time, and try to avoid naps.
Don't watch TV or read in bed.
When you watch TV or read in bed, you associate the bed with wakefulness.
The bed is reserved for two things – sleep and hanky panky.
Do not drink caffeine inappropriately
The effects of caffeine may last for several hours after ingestion. Caffeine can fragment sleep, and cause difficulty initiating sleep. If you drink caffeine, use it only before noon.
Remember that soda and tea contain caffeine as well.
Avoid inappropriate substances that interfere with sleep
Cigarettes, alcohol, and over-the-counter medications may cause fragmented sleep.
Exercise regularly
Exercise before 2 pm every day. Exercise promotes continuous sleep.
Avoid rigorous exercise before bedtime. Rigorous exercise circulates endorphins into the body which may cause difficulty initiating sleep.
Have a quiet, comfortable bedroom
Set your bedroom thermostat at a comfortable temperature. Generally, a little cooler is better than a little warmer.
Turn off the TV and other extraneous noise that may disrupt sleep. Background 'white noise' like a fan is OK.
If your pets awaken you, keep them outside the bedroom.
Your bedroom should be dark. Turn off bright lights.
If you are a 'clock watcher' at night, hide the clock.
Have a comfortable pre-bedtime routine
A warm bath, shower
Meditation, or quiet time taken from: American Sleep Association
And remember:
more sex
tdb with the answers!
Lovin' it! :)
Wow, apparently I need dust off my copies of Color Me Badd for some boots knockin' quality sleep.

Paulie, here is a picture of Toby, also known as Toblerone, Toby Two-Shoes and Aslan ('cause he was our little lion):

Weenie, he was a cutie! Sorry for your loss.
I have a 14 year old springer mix and I'm fearing his days are numbered as well. He's practically blind and his arthritus is so bad he can hardly make it upstairs to come to bed with us anymore.
Dogs are definitely the best companions!
someone named conniespe spamming up the show section, where's CC at?

M dog died on Friday.
He was my best bud and I had him for fifteen years.
See you Toby.
R.I.P. Toby. Take care Weenie. I can't imagine 15 years...
I'm so sorry for your loss, weenie. Toby looks like a sweet little guy, and you gave him a good, long, life.

So sorry to read this Weenie...my heart goes out to you. My old man just turned 14. Thankfully he is in great shape for his age, kind of deaf but healthy nonetheless. I try to remember everyday with Ole' Man Junie is a blessing because I know that our time together may soon come to an end. I get verklempt just thinking about it....
I am quite sick! If Mt. Jam was today, I wouldn't be going. I pray to regain the health and strength to rock out exactly 1 week from now. Pray for me...
EDIT- That came out too strong. I've got bronchitis, I think. My chest hurts, my body aches, I gots no energy. I also gots no sick leave left. Gonna be a tough week. But I'll be there.
Awe Johnny sorry to hear your feeling low, keep drinking tons of water and flush out your system! Rest up my man we are all planning on seeing you next weekend!

Thanks for the kind words Wizzard.
Ok, just watched "the real housewives of new jersey," and again, disgusted by the portrayal of people from the garden state. Between this and Jersey Shore it's just infuriating!!! Ignorant morons!

Feel better soon, Mr. Yac!

I'm always sad when I get home from music festivals. Wakarusa was an amazing time with tons of friends and now I'm back in the real world with work and rules. And speaking of Gold Bond, I used a lot of that at Waka.
I'm doing a week long math conference that my school made me take. The first 2 days have been terrible. The only thing that keeps me here is the 300 dollar check that comes Friday and that money is going to MMJ in KC!

Hey man, sorry I missed you there -- I walked around West Woods and looked for a Louisville flag and/or KY plates and found neither. Were you in the north area? I was camped right by the pumphouse where the Water Wagon filled up every couple of hours. Anywho, it was a great time.
Oh, this is a complaints thread, so I'll bitch about the heat. DAMN, it was hot, and with the beats wafting up from the festival in the wee hours, I didn't sleep much. Until the last night when I got a xanax from a guy for airing up his tire. ;D

You got bat wings MJK ?
I went on a 3 day Motorcycle trip out to Savannah, Il and Iowa over the weekend, I know how you feel. No shower for 3 days, covered in sun block and coated in dirt grim and bug guts. Maybe I should have put this in current joys. I fuckin love it. But man did that shower sunday nite feel good.

Sure as hell felt like I had bat wings. Was stuck outside doing stuff for work today and the only thing that saved the boyz from being permanently glued to my legs as the river of sweat that was running down have part of my body.

Wasn't Trips the one that burned Tater's wedding tackle? Powders scare me. I really do not want testicle fritters down there.

We were in the southern west woods, tucked in the very very back corner, as we were some of the first there. the southern west woods cons were that we had to walk up that HUGE hill to the northern WW for ice. the pros were that it was insanely shaded. I slept as much as i wanted if i turned my battery powered fan on. it wouldve been extremely hard for you to find us, unless you were on the prowl, because we were tucked so far back on the very edge of the actual thick forest. it was seriously the best arrangement ive ever had for a camping festival

whatever you do, don't get the blue bottle (foot powder) anywhere near your balz--my ex boyfriend cried for 2 hours when i told him it would be okay to do this...it's not

anything that has the word FOOT should never ever ever go near balls. That's just pain waiting to happen.

I wonder if you're even suppose to apply it to your balls. it seems like it'd be way more effective on the taint. blocking butt sweat from building up and creating a layer of smegma? hmm, chemically infected taints aint no way to fly.

...of course gold bond goes on the taint. i probably would test positive for gold bond from my knees to bellybutton.
boys are gross :P
Posted this in the 'Roo thread but this needs to be said multiple times.
To everyone complaining about the setlists or lack of "variety": shut the fuck up. Some of us haven't seen them live in 5 years so whatever the hell they want to play is fine. Jesus people, you bitch about the stupidest of fucking things around here. And people wonder why I left here last time Be thankful you've gotten to see them recently and that we are able to watch them live via these streams. Shut the fuck up and just enjoy the got damn show. Ungrateful fucking people. Sorry if that's negative but so what. You know, you don't have to listen to every show that pops up so you won't get tired of the same songs.
Seriously, I'm tired of hearing it people. You don't like it, don't go and don't listen. Better yet, start your own fucking cover band and play stuff they do not play much/often if you don't like it so much.
;D ;D ;D you really think you own this place, huh

I mean, so fuckin' what if they don't play a 20-minute Gideon every time you see them this year. Or some super-rare extended jam of Cobra on a secret online gig. Some of us get to see them every three years if we're lucky. Be thankful for what you got.

I hate people who bitch about people who bitch about people who bitch, their bitching is like seriously 4th tier bitching at it's finest. fuck a 20minute gideon just give me a little more song rotation or at the very least a set that isn't almost identical to what they played in 2008.
I wish they'd switch up their setlists a little more than they do.
I'm traveling 24 hours one way to see them this summer so hearing people bitch about not getting to see them gets old. If you haven't seen them in years that's on you. They're out there.
Can I mix up the bitching? I hate my car. I HATE IT. Never buy a Jetta. The engine will last a lifetime and the car will probably take me to 200,000 miles, but every dumbshit thing goes wrong. Just today my GD door for the gas tank would NOT OPEN. I had two guys pulling on this thing trying to get it open and I busted up the end of my finger (and broke a nail ::)). Damn thing had to be pried open. Would have drove away, but gas light had been on for quite sometime... ahem.

Can I mix up the bitching? I hate my car. I HATE IT. Never buy a Jetta. The engine will last a lifetime and the car will probably take me to 200,000 miles, but every dumbshit thing goes wrong. Just today my GD door for the gas tank would NOT OPEN. I had two guys pulling on this thing trying to get it open and I busted up the end of my finger (and broke a nail ::)). Damn thing had to be pried open. Would have drove away, but gas light had been on for quite sometime... ahem.

I wish they'd switch up their setlists a little more than they do.
I'm traveling 24 hours one way to see them this summer so hearing people bitch about not getting to see them gets old. If you haven't seen them in years that's on you. They're out there.
Assuming neither of your points are sarcastic, I'm with you, Dylan. Sometimes, ya gotta go to them.
So tell me. Is the brewery where you are brew master in need of a chemist? The wife needs a change of scenery and I couldn't help but think... L'ville!
We actually don't staff a chemist. Don't know if we'll ever get there, but our brewmasters know enough to do it our there own right now.
I kinda figured. How big's the place?

I guess you could call us midsize. We are Kentucky's largest microbrewery. We distribute to 5 states from 4 locations here in Louisville.

I could use a chemist...i think it would be a cool to have a chemist to carry with you all the time...just mixing different shit together all the time. i could just always turn around and ask what you were mixing on...hopefully eventually u would come across two super strains of bud...i'm definitely not complaining about anything so i will stop now
just realized I havent eaten anything for about 60 hours. that sounds kind of epic. considering taking this into tomorrow and see how it goes.
would it be wrong to say Im doing a holistic body cleanse when in reality it was a day of studying and now day 2 of a bender?!
Complaint: I'm working in a new building, and we have no control over the temperature. It's FREEZING in here, to the point I have a space heater under my desk to warm my feet.
Non-complaint: I'm thankful for the online shows so that I get to see MMJ live more than just the Lexington show.
Question: Is there a thread for MMJ's Record Store appearance at CD Central? I've tried to find one, but no luck.

Exactly! It's back at the shop because the dipstick for the oil was stuck and the engine light's on. Gar.

Hey Trish - My prescription for you is to have a glass of wine (or three) when you get home, pop on Circuital, listen to Wonderful and then give Bob & Chrissy a big hug. You should feel much less cranky after that.

Friends offered to buy me a ticket to the Phish festival this weekend, and cover all my costs except food and booze. I didnt go because I already told my family Id visit them at my aunt & uncle's this weekend for the 4th.

I feel bad for complaining, but coming back to work after 10 days off is rough.
I just got word that the son of a very, very good family friend has passed away. Last night in his sleep. He was in a half-way house after completing a 6 month rehab for his heroin addiction, so I fear a relapse/OD is the cause. This is the 3rd person in my life who I have lost to heroin.
I was planning on checking up on him during the Red Rock's shows, as he was living in the Boulder area. We were going to take him out for a stylin' dinner in honor of his sobriety.
I am so heartbroken for his mom and dad (only child of his mom's) as well as his aunts, uncles and grandparents. They are all extended family to me and really....this is tough.

very sad, so sorry to hear that. That drug makes me want to cry. I've lost 2 friends as well, and yet another is currently incarcerated in GA and will be in there for many many years, if not the rest of his life. I just don't get it.
Oxy-contin aka hillbilly heroin is running RAMPANT here in Florida. Really scary and very addictive shit :'( :embarassed:
Hey wizzard... so sorry to hear such news. Never will understand that stuff....... my deepest condolences, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
So sorry to hear Wiz...My thoughts go out to you and your friend's family.

Thanks for your kind words. It is his family that needs the love, strength, and support of the universe right now. I can't imagine the pain his mom is suffering.
I love living in NH, as my favorite sport after football is politics. However, driving home today, I saw a woman putting up what appeared to be the 100th Rick Santorum sign along the main road through town. I almost ran her over, but had my girls in the car and didn't want to scar them.
This place gets sick with signage, like some idiot is thinking, "Who should I vote for? Why, there's a sign... I guess I'll vote for him." I understand name recognition and whatnot, and love the access I've had to presidential candidates my whole life (Walter Mondale, John Glenn, and others stayed at our house growing up; met both Clintons; worked for John Edwards; etc.).
I just hate the signs, and its just beginning...

This. I hate those signs, too!! I understand showing support, but these political signs drive me INSANE! The worst is when there will be multiple signs from the same candidate clustered in a small area. "Oooooh, we have 12 signs in this 2x2 foot plot of grass...we have this election
in the bag!!"
And you're right...just beginning.
Don't waste your time running over Santorum's sign hanger-upper, just run over Santorum. Is that awful? Should I not say that on the interwebs?

I won't tell. I might just have to take a picture, as you describe exactly what I'm talking about... dozens of the same goddamn sign, and they're all identical Santorum signs! I feel like I'm in Hell.

I think you're OK as long as you're not texting this while driving with Santorum walking in a cross walk ahead of you. Then, you might be in trouble.

Wrong.

I've since calmed down. I just wanted to add the small amount of music to this old Nano and find iTunes ridiculously counterintuitive. I figured it out, but nothing I do on the computer, at least related to listening to music that I own, shoud be this frustrating. You said it up top, "have had a mac for several years." So iTunes probably makes sense to you. I'd love an iPhone or iTouch, but for the fact that they're Apple products.
EDIT: Nevermind... too much personal shit for here. Don't mind me :-\
I cannot lay on my back without wanting to violently hurl. I have no idea what the hell is causing this. Trying to change the oil and work underneath the car proved bad today. I might need to have this looked into. Thankfully I prefer to sleep on my stomach and side or else I wouldn't sleep at all. :-\

I always had PC, and even MP3 players that weren't iPods. Then I bought a Macbook 4 years ago and now I will swear by Macs 100% for all of time. Sometimes I feel like a cheater for even playing my xbox 360. I'm a proud owner of a Macbook Pro, Mac Mini, iPhone 4, iPad2, and iPod Classic. Basically, the only thing I spend more money on than concerts/records/mmj is Apple products. I would skip out on an iPod Touch, honestly. I don't see any point in owning one of those instead of the iPhone - its pretty much a gameboy that holds a small amount of music. iPod Classics make much more sense for music, in my opinion. Also the iPhone 5 rumors are insane and thats what I'm going to look forward too after red rocks.

1000% agree on this. It's a little harder to fill a 160GB than I thought it would be.
Bad things happening to good people.
I know life ain't fair and all...but it just can be too much sometimes.
This is probably the dumbest thing that has ever happened to me: I burned my esophagus on a chicken nugget. Straight up Momma Cass shit; I know. The back of my throat and tongue are burnt. I guess that's what happens when you eat hot fried foods. Lesson learned. It still hurts like a bitch, though.
On another note, I have been bummed out lately. I can't seem to find a reason why, as my life is pretty rad. My self-esteem is at an all-time low. I want to cry, and it sucks. I started taking a multivitamin, because I thought it might be an imbalance in my body. I still feel overwhelmingly depressed. Does anyone else ever feel this way?

and there is always the SSRI route ;) feel better meg.
try Vitamin B12 if you haven't...
We Love you Meg! Hang in there kiddo...
(I removed my last post because of 2 threads that ironically appeared shortly after. I'm sure it's me being paranoid, but wanted to remove it anyway).
Hope that u are feeling better very soon Megalicious!
Sorry, meg...there's no quick cure for when the blues hit like that. Talking helps a little. Laughing helps a lot. And reminding yourself over and over of all the great things you've done in the last week/month/year can ease things a bit.
thanks. y'all are the best.
:-*
i started taking a ssri last year. it has helped tremendously. i just hate having these occasional "down" periods. i hate not being able to pinpoint what is making me feel so despondent.
Meg,
Glad to hear the ssri's are helping. I took them for 3-4 months a few years back...weren't sure if they were helping or just numbing me and I quit them, probably too soon. But good to hear they're helping you.
Just here to vent:
1) My daily driver car is on its last legs...never had a car payment before...can't wait! :P
2) My Dog is friggin' crazy. The old owner called her Crazy Daisy and I'm finding out why...she destroys shit. That's why they got rid of her. She hasn't ruined anything super-valuable yet, but it's getting annoying. So far she's chewed (that I can remember): credit cards, wallet, DVD case, boxing gloves, darts...I think that's it. The rest was just trash. Need to get her trained (somehow).
3) My bank account is looking sad.
4) My roommate is probably going to move out, making my bills double.
5) I don't really have the money to fix up my Firebird right now. Haven't driven it since last October :(
Ok the sleep issue I've had in the past has reared its ugly head again. Waking up every hour throughout the night. Sometimes it's to take a ginormous waz, other times its because I'm paranoid I overslept and wake up to stare at the clock. Dammit. Doesn't help I get up so early but going on very little sleep this week and the heat has finally caught up to me.
I am the opposite, mjk. I fell asleep at 9:30 last night and was out cold until 7 this morning. I barely even woke up when Will left for work at 5. I am constantly exhausted. It's as if I can never get enough sleep. I don't know why.
And I am totally OCD about the alarm clock. I set and check that bitch at least five times before I go to bed... well, more like 6 b/c I have this wierd thing about odd numbers.
I check it multiple times and when I startle myself awake I check it again. Either I need to drink more and pass out or I need a good shag before bed.

Ok, your right about TMI. Maybe I should concentrate more while in the act of evacuating instead of facebooking until my legs fall asleep.
Dude, Tater. I hear ya about the legs falling asleep. Usually it's Facebook or Angry Birds or Doodle Jump for me.
Can I just say my job really, really blows. This morning I had to hear about why I got a 0% raise this year...but there's "money on the table" if I work for it...a great big 3% out there waiting for me, whoopee! I work for a big laboratory equipment manufacturer (probably the biggest). We make water purification equipment, which we sell worldwide. This afternoon, I am THE ONLY PERSON IN THE WORLD TAKING CALLS ON THIS EQUIPMENT. For a $12 billion company. And we're not talking about widgets here. We're talking about equipment that is used in hospitals, by pharmaceutical companies, research labs. Kinda scary that our water equipment line has been around since the 1800's but that our coporate talking heads have slowly-but-surely gotten rid of all the talented people who helped build that company...well, at least the ones who made too much money or wouldn't pick up their life and move to follow a money-grubbing, disloyal, life-sucking employer. But that great big 3% is waiting for me, if I just work a little harder. F-off. Have fun falling on your face when your entire tech support department quits you greedy a-holes. The sad thing is I could say SOOO much more. :-X
I feel your pain brother.
I have been dealing with some health problems lately, and it blows. It's scary.
I lost my job yesterday without ANY explanation, All the while they are telling me how great off a job I'm doing. Just plain wrong....

That sucks. Hopefully something better will come your way.
Spent 7 hours yesterday mowing these HUGE hills behind our house. Almost cut my foot off (seriously). My landlord wants us (my roommate and I) to pay for the rental of the mower ($53.00). I did the work, so I figured my roommate would have no problem at least going halfsies on the $53...nope. She refuses to pay anything. Now I have to feel awkward telling my landlord that I'll be paying my half. Feel like I'm ratting her out...ridiculous she won't pay $27 tho...I did all the work AND watched her dog while she was away for the weekend. >:(

Geeeeez....... what is with roommates?! That sucks, she definitely should take into account your dog-sitting and the work you did! But is it going to be a repeat bill each time you need to rent a mower or something? Because I'd say the landlord then needs to dish that cost out for his own property. Or that should've been discussed going over the lease or something.....
My roommate (and his cousin who's been staying here, tho she's awesome!) have both left, and I've been enjoying the place solo again.... and what do you know, the mysterious ANT and FRUIT FLY problems seem to have done cleared up in wake of their departure! ::) ::)

I guess that's her argument. That area of the property was overgrown when we moved in. At first, the neighbors and the landlord said "Don't worry about it." The landlord did bring over his large brush mower (he left it there pretty much all of last summer). I mowed the hill twice, just to keep it in check. So it wasn't an issue again this summer until I asked the landlord about this pen out back...there is a shed with a fenced in area below it...I wanted to keep my foster dog in there and I asked him about the condition of the fence. He came and took a look at it and said he thought it would hold the dog, but the overgrowth was too much and we needed to take care of it. He offered to pick up the rental mower and drop it off, but we had to do the work and pay for it. I said "Sure"...roommate was out of town so she didn't get a vote. I didn't think she would have a problem paying $27 when she didn't even have to do any work. BUT she doesn't think we should be responsible for mowing that hill anyway, so she won't pay.
I guess I'm torn as far as whether that hill is our responsibility.
1) Technically, we don't have a lease. The landlords drew one up and gave it to us to sign, but somehow we lost it. We've been living in this house for almost a year and a half now with no lease! Crazy, I know. I guess the landlords are laid-back people and they trust us. So I have no idea whether we are really responsible for that area, but every time I talk to the landlord he says we are.
2) That hill takes specialized lawn equipment and it's dangerous to mow. I don't really want to buy specialized equipment to take care of a property that I'm RENTING. Sure, I'll mow the grass...I did buy my own "normal" lawn mower, but I'm not buying a brush mower or paying for its rental every time.
Hopefully this won't be an issue...we only mowed it twice last year, and that's all I plan on doing this year.

Sorry about the job, man. And she is definitely lazy around the house!
F(#%*)ING CENTIPEDE ATTACK!!! FOUR CENTIPEDES ON MY WALL RIGHT NOW
I gotta get outta this apt, for more than one reason it seems!! Sleeping on the dang couch tonight, if I sleep at all!
Weird frigging night. Public radio loses reception.... and proceeds to pop back on with the first notes of this beautiful Help > Slip > Frank

Jerry is this some kind of sick joke!! *shakes fist* Naw I can't blame the Jer Bear :-*
Definitely one of the strangest nights I've had in awhile.
But I seem to have made it through, and though I only slept maybe an hour, two hours tops, I do feel a bit better.
Hawk, that is a tricky situation there indeed! Do you think he offered to pick up the rental and bring it under the impression that you just wanted to use the area for your foster dog?? (In which case, he might expect you to pay?) From your post it kinda sounds like it wasn't much issue (with paying) until you were wanting to utilize that area...
Oh and is the dog you watched for your roommate the foster dog? Or does she have her own dog? Sorry if that's made obvious in your post, still runnin on too few hours of sleep.... :-\
It's, like, 100 degrees out with humidity in the 80-90% range. Our power bill last month was close to $350. I can't keep the thermostat at 70 degrees anymore. Damn oppressive ass summer heat!
:'( <- those aren't tears; it's sweat.

The entire month of July was like that here. I might have to get a part time job just to pay the power bill trying to keep this damn old house at a balmy 77. We had 2 days of rain in July at my house and all it did was make it even more swamplike. Normally there is a week or 2 spell where it's awful, not this long of a stretch however.
I know. We're running a dehumidifier in the house, too. It's unbearable to be outside. As soon as I walk out the front door, my glasses fog up. It's ridic. And the a/c in my car is crapping out; I need to buy more freon.
What makes it bad for me, besides trying to train for a marathon in this shit, is our Corporate tower seriously has the AC at 60. 60!! I'm having to wear a pull over to keep from shaking to death. Then you walk outside and passout within 2 seconds. Someone give Mother Nature a damn Midol.
Goddamn. I like to be cold, but 60 is extreme. I feel like a lazy asshole, because I haven't been out for a walk or jog or any form of exercise whatsoever. It's just too damn hot. I know it's August, and it's going to be hot, but damn.

Maybe there is something to that global warming thing I hear about. At least until winter hits and I'm wearing 20 lbs of cloths to stay warm.
It's finally down to like 79 here today and it feels like heaven. I want to make out with this weather.
Oops, complaints....uh....I wish I was at JacketFestWest. :'(

This sounds like what my house would look like if my roommates left for a few weeks ;D
I hope this S&P downgrade isn't as bad as they're making it sound... :-\
I had a second interview today. They asked a difficult question, I gave a difficult answer. They're human lie detectors, so I can't really BS my way out of it (got called out on it once already with a "fluff" response on the "where do you see yourself in 5 years" question).
Now I can't sleep because I'm kicking myself in the ass with a "why would you give that answer" type repetitive thought.
Returned from an outstanding week with wonderful weather and peeps to 110F, then thunderstorms last night that knocked the power out at my house and work, and it's still out. Starting to heat up in here - time to head to the library, or the bar...

After reading the posts and seeing the pictures of last weekend, and barring something catastrophic happening, what do you say you and the rest of your Red Rocks peeps stay out of this thread for a while, eh? ;D
Ha! With no lost sensitivity for Tuscaloosans, Joplinians, and others, 100+ temps with no AC feels pretty catastrophic. You're right, I am still basking in the glow of last week. Probably won't keep me from bitching. ;)

i really should try and sleep... work induced insomnia sucks >:(
Yes it does!
I've been having a lot of lower back pain lately. It feels alright during the day, and stiffens up over night. Can't sleep for more than 5 or 6 hours without having to take a painkiller. I guess I'll be calling my doctor soon.
over the past few days i've been feeling signs of a kidney stone or 2 in the near future..
it's a hereditary thing and my mother has had 500+ kidney stones over the last 12 years..
hopefully it will just be a quick pass and it wont affect me as far as having to stay in the house doped up on painkillers and the lack of sleep
oh man.....hope it passes quickly :)

Therrrrrreeeee...... are several herbs that help to dissolve such stones, and "re-distribute" the minerals that the stones are usually made of, back into the body.... there are also several herbs that help create a painless passing of small stones. Coincidentally enough, two of the main plants used for stones (Goldenrod & Joe Pye Weed) have just begun to bloom within the past week or two... There are also pretty simple home remedy type things you can do to try to remedy the issue. Give a shout if you're at all interested in trying anything :)
I'm not sure how a live blues band (comparable to Blueshammer from the film, Ghost World) was allowed to play a gig from 7pm to after 11pm at a sparsely-attended backyard house party on Broadview Ave near Toronto's Greektown (I live in a huge urban neighbourhood). Nobody in the 'hood needed to hear deafeningly loud, cheesy bar band renditions of "All Along the Watchtower" (with wah wah solos) or a bloozed-up version of John Lee Hooker's "Dimples". And if you know who Canadian bluesman David Wilcox is, I also hated their take on his hit, "That Hypnotizin' Boogie" (I also hate the original). Oh, and I had to get up at 5:30 today for work. I love the blues, but not fucking Blueshammer rockin' blues, especially on a "school night".
I had a cancer scare back in November. Tomorrow, I am having a test done to see if any of the cancerous cells have returned. I am so freaked out about this. I know our greatest fears lay in anticipation, but... ugggh. Then I have to wait for the results from the lab. This blows.

I will have your name put in the Prayer box for Saint Peregrine The patron saint for Cancer. I'm not a very religious person so I will have my wife do it for me, she makes up for the bad that I have done in my life ( I'm trying to marry my way into heaven :) ). It can't hurt right ?

Fingers crossed for you Meg.
Sending good thoughts your way Meg! Hope all goes well today
Many, many good vibes headed southward, meg.
best wishes meg! :)
Hang in there, Meg. Thinkin' bout ya.
Stay strong Meg. If you feel the need to talk, just send me a PM. I'm unfortunately hip to cancer (dad, mom, family friends etc...) but work crazy hours, so I'll more than likely be around on the forum.
Thanks, friends. Biopsy went well, now I have to wait for the results. The waiting really is the hardest part.
You're in my prayers, Meg!! Like I said, let me know if there's any way I can help!
Might I just add my current complaint: friends who forget your birthday though you remember theirs every year, friends who blow you off when it's your last Friday night in town, friends who won't listen to any MMJ but will spew on for eons and eons about Phish (and hey I like Phish goddamnit, but can we at least give one Jacket song a chance here?? Or ease up on the endless discussions about Phish?!?) It's made me rather stand-offish about Phish. For the last couple months I've been trying to listen to them more and more, in hopes that these friends would take the cue and be like "Oh hey, we listened to a Jacket song today!" or something-- But to no avail.
I love my friends, really, I do..... I guess I was just bombarded at once with all of these ridiculous situations :(
Funny enough, the thing that triggered this little outburst is the Phish-to-Jacket ratio... I at least like the band and know a couple handfuls of their songs and appreciate them, but do you think the people nearest and dearest to me who are currently worshipping Phish would give MMJ the time of day?? I know there's a whole thread on this piece (friends/family not listening to MMJ) but I just had to swing by here and shake it off a bit. I don't land in here all that often, I try to let things roll, but it must've touched a noive when my mind made a little tally of everything ::) The same people cross-pollinate the former 'complaints,' and they've forgotten my birthday and/or blown me off tonight, so meh.
Sorry for the major vent....... now perhaps I can let it roll a bit freer!! 8)
And a big thanks to all you fine folks who essentially keep me somewhat "sane" on here

I have a friend who likes Fleet Foxes and doesn't seem to like MMJ that much, and even said she thinks Fleet Foxes are better. I tried to explain that bands like Fleet Foxes wouldn't even be around without MMJ to pave the way. If people would just go see them live then I think they would get it. At least I have gotten several people into MMJ but some remain stubborn.

Happy belated Woody! :beer: I'm sorry to hear about your predicament. Like many of us here, I was surrounded by Dead and Phish heads all through my undergrad experience though that was well over a decade ago. I'd see some dreadies trading tapes in my living room and I'd just bump some Dilated Peoples and yell, "Yeah, iss like that!" ;D I like both bands, particularly the Dead, but I never understood the cult like following and being all consumed with a single entity. What are you really getting out of life if all your free time is spent memorizing setlists and comparing shows and talking about a single jam that happened on a single date from ONE BAND! There's too much out there to soak up. Ya got it right. Have a great weekend and don't sweat your cultish friends. They'll come around. ;D;) :beer:

Hahahahah that's great! ;D You make great points-- I've been more partial to the Dead myself but still don't grasp the lot kid cult phenomenon that's cropped up in the scene... there's definitely more to life! And I do like Phish, I just always feel like a doormat when I mention Phish songs or live videos or such that I see & enjoy, and I mention a Jacket song (or even other artists' songs!) and get a long silence or a quick subject change... And it's one thing if you've listened and just don't really like it, but these jerks won't even give bands a try. Almost as though they begin to identify themselves with what they DON'T like.... "I only like such and such, I'm too cool for this or that." I've been there, I used to have strong aversions to 80s music, country music, and hip-hop to name a few. But I enjoy GROWING and BRANCHING OUT and opening my mind wide open to these other worlds of music... I've nearly made a game out of finding what music I don't particularly enjoy, and sitting down with it and picking out good qualities. And I find myself evolving over & over, just pushing my limits or comfort zones. And if my friends like something, I'm guaranTEED to find something about it that I really dig... that's just how it goes, with friends.
And for the record, I don't preach about MMJ. I know what annoying is like. Over the last couple years, I've just thrown out a couple mix cds and mentioned certain lyrics or musical bits or little quotes from interviews.... it's not a daily thing... not even a weekly thing... I like to think I've got a pretty good annoying filter on. Most of my support for the band has been shown through the travels I've made to see them.
But alas I shall stop complaining, I like to believe they WILL come around someday, and until then, this board has been the greatest outlet for my love! Thanks Rob! :)
And thank you, True!! Yeah my manager from my old job went and saw MMJ live in Pitt August 2010, and he's been the one true fan out of the people I know... he's the one who changed the FIRST DANCE OF HIS WEDDING to "Wonderful" !!!
Oh and my one friend says what he's heard from MMJ is "slow or depressing" sounding..... Oh man that was opening a can of worms! I was actually so fed up that I didn't even go off about "slow or depressing" music.... cause I'd have vomited if I started. Wow, what a lame comment. I might vomit just thinking about it again...
But you guys are awesome, thanks for the support and understanding!! :dankk2:

Hang in there. I hope it gets better for your and your friend.
My ex (who I haven't so much as spoken to in almost three years) is apparently spreading rumors about me being "involved" with a mutual (married!) friend. It's so baseless it's laughable, but still...wtf.
I know this is trivial in the grand scheme of things that are going on right now, but I cannot get full. It's starting to become an issue as I cannot focus on anything as I'm always hungry and NOTHING fills me up anymore. Case in point: lunch consisted of large salad, rosemary onion potatoes, STEAK, a ball park pretzel the size of your hear, several bananas...And I'm still scrounging for food. I'll be glad when this race is over so I do not feel like I need to eat like Michael Phelps after the High Times fancon.

I just vacuumed another one up that I nearly thought was too big for the extension arm on my vacuum. And when I got it, I felt it go through the arm and freaked out and dropped it (but left the dang machine on, in case it was defying vacuum suction)
It wasn't a particularly fat spider, but it was just real long legs and real gnarly......... such heebie-jeebies... now I'm afraid all these spiders are like in my vacuum.... it's become quite the trap lately.... think I could use one of these

Would be great to just set it nearby and hit the pedal when I'm at a safer distance.....
An Ecto Containment unit would come in handy too, where I know they're secure and not coming back to get me.... :-\
I have been dealing with this cancer scare shit for a while. I had a follow-up test done a few weeks ago, and yesterday my doctor called me to tell me they're refering me to an oncologist. What. The. Fuck. Can I not catch a break?
Oh and also: I am scared shitless.
Oh damn, meg, you totally deserve a break -- vibing you like crazy from here. Hang in there.

oh wow, sorry Eric.. :(
Flu like symptoms.....fuck. I really do not need to get sick 1 month before my race. My back feels like someone is whacking me in the kidneys with a bat.
Incompetence at work... >:(
So I'm in tech support. I'm supposed to troubleshoot equipment and recommend parts. That's pretty much it. Customer calls back on Tuesday asking for an RGA to send his unit to the factory for repair. We have a department for that...all they do is set up returns and arrange for field service calls...unfortunately that department sucks. I have to babysit the process EVERY TIME and no one is held accountable. I've send three emails to this department now (not counting the original request) asking for status, told my boss twice, sent the person that is supposedly working on this an IM...no response from anyone.
TGIF.
Best wishes to all on your current complaints. May they turn into (http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa187/onlymaestro/box_o_kittens.jpg)
people really, really, really suck sometimes! >:( >:( >:(

and for that, i thank you all :)
(maybe i should go post in current joys now..... ::))
take care meg.....
great, I get to sit in all day meetings with 3 of my 8 bosses for the next 2 days doing end to end processes. 8 bosses. 8. Fucking shot me now.
peter gibbons interview (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2_Yi-1Ryf4#)
Ha before that video popped up I thought of office space. Great movie. Sucks about your work schedule.
There are days that I really do feel like Peter.
Going back to work after having 12 days off is rough. I'm already taking my lunch break.
Not trying to sound like a whiny bitch... I was very fortunate with the whole Irene thing, and, living with 2 VTers I thought the show was a good way to try to help and to celebrate the community aspect of VT. Having said that....
Drove to VT this past friday to get some tickets for the phish flood benefit show. On the way there, on 22a in the middle of the night, the driver of a passing vehicle chucked a beer can at my car. Direct hit to the driver's side view mirror. Both the can and my mirror exploded. And my car was coated in beer. Yay.
On the way home from VT the next day I got a speeding ticket.
Then yesterday I drove back to VT for the show. On the way there I got ANOTHER speeding ticket. I had a perfect, spotless, sexy driving record just last week. A 35 in a 25 and a 70 in a 55. I had just received a discount on my auto insurance because I'm a 'safe driver.' FML
The best part was how neither cop asked me why my mirror was shattered and in pieces or why my car was coated in an unusual film.
I had fun at the show.

So, I think my cat is on a hunger strike. Right before we left for our trip to Chicago (and Lollapalooza), she stopped eating. The vet said (after blood work and xrays, and $400) that she seems fine. She barely ate while we were gone, and hasn't hardly touched any food of any kind since. Its been at least 6 weeks.
She used to be HUGE, but I picked her up tonight and she is so light. Her litter box has seen very little action, too. We rescued her, skeletal and pregnant, 13 years ago in NC and nursed her back to health. As you can see below, she kind of went in the other direction.
I guess she's just done now. I guess we are, too... letting her go. She doesn't seem to be in any pain, 'cept perhaps weak from lack of food. Sigh... :-\ :'(

Sorry JY. :( :(
so sorry to hear jy. we lost our 10 yr old golden right before july 4th last yr. waited all of 6 weeks before we got quincy, my favorite listening buddy and new best friend.
never ever easy.
Awww Johnny I'm sorry to hear the news :( What a baby roly-poly!! Cats seem to have an instinct for that kind of stuff, whether it be health or their "time".... I do hope it's just a health speed bump and she just needed a long fast! I was just going to ask if she's been tested for parasites or worms of any kind, but that wouldn't explain her non-eating, that would be her eating and not gaining any weight... hmmm... As long as she doesn't seem in pain though, that's a comfort. Keep us posted with how she's doing, I'll keep her in my prayers!! Little roly poly baby!!

That sucks man! Im honestly not sure if I even saw any cops in VT until we got to the venue, and we came up 22a and route 7 as well. Glad you had fun, as did I, but I was fairly disappointed with the show. For a show just announced last week meaning mostly big fans would only go, it being a benefit show, their first show in VT since their Coventry fuck up, etc., the show was pretty standard and their were very few highlights for me (Suzy, Funky Bitch, Character Zero, and a couple more). Not to mention the "beer corral" that you couldnt leave after getting a beer until you finished was ridiculous, even moreso at a Phish show, and you couldnt even see the stage from it! I had a blast the last 3 days, but my actual show experience was underwhelming.
Best wishes with Stormie, Yac :(
Well, we rushed home from a visit at my mom's 15 minutes before the ACL Fest webcast. I checked on Stormie. She died on the futon.
Had to console the girls, get them to sleep. I know its just a cat, but we had Stormie 13 years, longer than our kids. Everyone cried but me, until I went to the bathroom after the MMJ webcast had cheered me up, saw her food dish, still full of food she wouldn't eat, her water, her litter box.
Bye, Stormie.

Thanks again, all. We buried her this morning in a perfect spot. The girls created a rock pattern, with one for Stormie in the middle and rocks surrounding it representing the five of us. Pretty clever.

Awww, JY that made me cry. Cats can be such special pets and it's always hard to say goodbye, especially when they're older and have become a big part of the family. My condolences. Your girls seem so sweet...
Was running behind a bit this morning (overslept, couldn't find a shoe, the usual morning crap) so I texted my boss to let him know I might be late. Go outside and my car won't start. My car isn't even 2 years old... so it won't cost me anything to get it fixed, but that shouldn't be happening already.
End up driving my mom's car to work, which means I have to walk about 1/2 mile from my car to my desk since I work on a military base and my mom's car doesn't have the DoD stickers. Then it starts to rain, and apparently my wonderful mother hasn't replaced her windshield wipers since the Clinton administration. Finally get to work, quite wet, and realize I missed a weekly meeting at 9:30 that I had no idea about (I was on vacation when it was instituted).
Is it too soon for another vacation?
Sorry to hear about your cat... I know how over time pets become family members.
Sorry to hear about Stormie. I feel your pain.
Thanks again for the kind words, everyone.
Sorry to hear about Stormie as well JohnnY.
Pets are truly members of one's family and it sucks when they pass away!

T minus ONE WEEK til I move into the new place....... That belongs in current joys...
BUT IN THE MEANTIME
My roommate says the internet connection problem is due to MY COMPUTER, and MY COMPUTER must have a virus, and MY COMPUTER won't give an IP address, so it's my fault that it won't connect to his network at the apartment....
Ok. Well. I'm at the INGLES GROCERY STORE right now, and my connection to the web was fast and furious. And look, here I am! Still online! No connection problems, a-ok!
Ahem. T minus one week................... >:(

complaint: this semester is killing me already.
joy: When I finish this semester, 2 days later I will be rewarded with a MSG MMJ show.
Dentist appointment today to fix a crown that fell out. :o What the hell did they use, Elmers glue?
I could maybe understand if it was a really old crown, but it's only been in about 18 months or so.
That sucks, Eric. I have a crown story right out of "Marathon Man," myself.
I love and appreciate my wife. She is out of town all week on business and my three little girls are killing me. We have to get up 90 minutes earlier to get everyone where they need to be before my 7:05 start time at work. They won't go to bed early... hell, they've gone to bed later than the regular bedtime every night this week. I just can't settle our 3 yr. old little monkey. I am sooooo tired. I need them asleep so I can grade papers and write this zoology test. Arggh. I had to vent, now back to work. One more day... Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

My my in laws got their gravel driveway paved finally. It's always been a nightmare drainagewise. Contracter did an excellent job paving and built in this great drainage pit and roughed in a pipe to drain out. Well somehow I got volunteered to did the damn ditch to run the pipe through their yard out to where the water will naturally run off. Not sure how I got roped into this. The ditch is the length of a football field and is at least 2 feet deep through most of it. I would normally love doing stuff like this. Just not 1 week before I run a marathon. I'm sore as hell and just absolutly exhausted. It looks great and will work, cuz I did it, but damn.
Dam mjk, sounds like something the wifey would volunteer you for, hehe. Two feet deep? Around 100 yards long? Shi...and doing it for free? If I had the money, probably would have rented a small escavator.
Oh he mentioned he could have rented a trench digger, about 4 hours into the dig. I about threw a spade at his head, cept my arms were to tired to do it at that point. And my shoulders are absolutly screaming today. Bourbon and Aleve will be my friends today I do believe.
minus the Flyers, what a craptacular weekend for Philadelphia sports. >:( Attempting to drink my disapointment away with Sly Fox IPAs. Wish me luck

Let's just say that if it snowed in July in India and the temp reached 100F in February in Toronto, I wouldn't be overly shocked, not now anyway.
Found our little 5 month old kitten had passed away last night. We had him for only a week. We found out one day after having him that he had some particularly deadly virus, supposedly a virulent strain of the calici virus. We thought he just had a cold at first, but after a few days he quit eating, and we knew there was little hope for the poor little guy. We got him from the local Humane Society...his name was Waylon, and we would call him Mr. Waylon Jennings. He was a good cat. I just hope we made his last few days a little better.

Sorry to hear that hawkeye. I have no doubts Waylon's last week was better than anything he would have had at the shelter...
Sorry, Hawkeye. Been there, recently.
i saw an oncologist last week and am scheduled for surgery this thursday. the surgery is to remove precancerous areas and to biopsy other areas to see if they've already progressed to cancer. i am nervous about it. uggggggggh.

I blew the rear bike tire on my way to work tonight in one of the only sketchy areas in the downtown. I had to walk with my bike the rest of the way (Toronto is one of NA's bike-thieving capitals). One a brighter note, the weather is still great for biking. Normally it would be too cold, but today it was around 17C and I didn't need a jacket!
Waiting for the power to be restored...10" before Halloween sucked. 5 days and counting...
My sister is a complete mess. She is a mother of 2 and an addict. I can't for the life of me figure out what is going on in her head to not be able to put her children first and make an effort to beat her addiction. She's been in and out of rehab to no avail and recently my parents tried taking her in but that was basically a fruitless effort on their part as they had to kick her out of their house last night after she forgot to pick up her son from kindergarden becacuse she'd been on a walk with her 3 year old daughter and couldn't remember where her car was??? Apparently she had resorted to shots of rubbing alcohol chased with anit-bacterial cleaner?! What a mess... :-\
I'm pretty much at a loss because I love my sister and want her to get better in the worst way, but at the same time, I'm sick and tired of what she is putting our family through and I'm sick and tired of her putting her own freaking children at risk as well as risking the lives of others?! I honestly cannot believe she has let it come to this...
Sorry to hear that man, especially since there's kids involved.

Sorry to hear about that, man. Tough situation.
My complaint suddenly doesn't seem as bad, but here goes...
Someone tried to steal my scooter a few weeks back. I had to get it repaired which took over a week and over a hundred bucks. The day after I got it back someone successfully stole it. >:(
ILB--so sorry to hear about that..addiction is such an evil deadly disease...seems like she needs to hit rock bottom. Your family must feel so helpless.

ILB--so sorry to hear about that..addiction is such an evil deadly disease...seems like she needs to hit rock bottom. Your family must feel so helpless.
Yeah. We've been wondering what exactly will be her rock bottom. And yes, it is such a helpless feeling.
I just can't grasp how something could have such a hold over you, like alcohol or pills, that you would completely forget about consequenses like losing your own children or your family just to have another drink. I used to smoke cigarettes (about 1/2 a pack a day at my height) and I tried on several occassions to quit using the patch or nicarette gum. But it wasn't until my wife (fiancee at the time) confronted me asking me if I wanted to grow old with her and be around to watch our future family grow up that it struck me and I quit cold turkey. I was motivated by a family that I didn't even have yet to finally quit and that's why I can't fathom why my sister can't grasp what she is throwing away because she's too weak to fight. The sad thing is, if she couldn't beat this disease with TONS of family support, I can't foresee how she is going to fight it now that she's completely on her own???

Find a therapist for yourself. Or an Al-Anon meeting, you'll find people going through exactly what you're going through.

This is what they're always stressing on Intervention (the show)...good luck ILB. Ever thought about some type of intervention/clinical help for her?
Thanks for the encouragement and advice everyone.
Hawkeye, we did an intervention to get her to rehab for the first time. That was about 3 years ago and up until yesterday, was probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to go through. As far as clinical help, I've been suggesting that to my parents, but for some reason, they wouldn't listen.
And Penny, I totally agree with you. She will now find out what rock bottom truly is when she is all alone.
Sorry to hear ILB...Hopefully everything ends up good with her in the long run
Very sorry to hear that ILB.
No big deal in the grand scheme of things but I decided not to get tickets for Roy Harper at the Royal Festival Hall having seen him twice in the last year or so + tickets weren't cheap. Who joins him on stage on the night? Jimmy Page :-\
Interview #1 for a position in our International division I think went well. I'm such a horrible judge of myself. Now I have to freaking stress over this until I hear 1 way or another if I didn't get it or I get another interview. Thankfully the hiring manager hates my current boss(es) almost as much as I do. Maybe that will help? :-\

You know, rock bottom just might be losing her kids. It's a tough decision but having them taken away (temporarily) could save them all.

It a Supply Chain role. Lots of dealing with our affiliates in other countries and making sure their forecasts for products are in, dealing with shipping and receiving issues, working with the DC's at our affiliate countries to make sure they are in compliance with mothership Nestle's guidelines as well as local laws if they apply, etc.
I believe this would be covering Canada and Europe. Watch the hell out if I get this.

indeed. I'll doing slaughtering a cow next month then a hog in January. Me loves my organic meat that I butcher myself so I know what's in it.
Wow, slaughtering a cow is a whole different level. Some day I will do that! I'm gonna watch a pig slaughter in a few weeks, should be interesting.

The gutting and skinning is a bit nausiating so fair warning. The butchering part is pretty tame though and is usually a good time. I'm lucky in that my wife's family are all hunters so her uncle built a "garage" specifc for butcher beef, beef, and pork. It's a good set up. About 10 guys can butcher hogs pretty damn quick.
Yeah. I think I'll pass on the whole watching animals get butchered thing. I have a friends that raise organic grass fed cows and I just buy the meat off of them. I see no need to watch how they came about getting the meat to me... :P :)
It's a good thing having friends who raise organic grass feed cattle. Those are friends you keep for life.
I think if I had to kill my own meat, I'd probably be a pescatarian. Had to pluck too many chickens growing up :P But the butchering sounds interesting, there are a couple places here that teach you how to do it in the old-fashioned, no-waste manner. I can get behind that.

Well done! For the past 8 years I've been pushing near 80% regarding consuming produce and meat that's organic/naturally-raised and/or local farm. I feel for those that live in areas with produce choices dominated by evil factory and mega-farms. I'll keep doing my best to hit 100%.

I find that I'm extremelly picky about my pork due to my butchering. I cannot buy just regular pork at the grocery any longer. I also refuse to buy nitrate laden bacon. I've had uncured bacon for over 10 years. It's sooooooo much better.
Oh yeah, uncured is the way to go.
Hit a rough patch with the dog over the last few weeks. We have a pretty big yard at my place, but it's unfenced. When she would wake us up around 6:30 or so...just before we wanted to get up...we would just open up the front door and let her run around for 20-30 minutes, go to the bathroom, etc. Last Friday she got hit by a car. Luckily she just needed some stitches. Cost me $225 though, and the medication or the wound is affecting her bladder control, apparently, as she's gone 3 times in the house since then. This came after she busted out my basement windows twice in the last week.
Somehow I still love her :D :-*
Need to get some pics up in the pet thread...

Funny how dogs can tug at your heart like that eh? they just stare at you with that goofy puppy look and their tails all a wagging. You just can't stay mad at them!!!
Glad to know your puppy's doing ok though with the exception of the bladder issues.

I know it might seem like kinda lame news to ya'll, but I just needed a little space to vent, sorry :-\
I've been looking at that beautiful hill since I was 1 year old (I might not have remembered it for a couple years, but christ.....) It was the first symbol of freedom that I indulged. I used to pack a daypack with my journal and food and WALKMAN and climb down the big steep wooded hill behind our house and make a big deal about crossing the creek down in the valley. I used to feel like once I got over that creek I was on new turf and the world was my oyster! Then began the ascent up Bedner's Hill... where I'd have to cross a little 2-lane road that connected my little town with all the mcmansions, and for some reason there were always cops on that road... and that was fine, except I'd have to walk along the road and find the broken part of the wood fence that was just the right size for me to toss my pack over the fence and roll through... but I had to be so fast because it was private property and the cops would heckle me if they saw it. And I'd have to kind of make a running dash at that point, cause I was pretty obvious til I got up a bit higher.... then at the top I'd sit and just haaaaang out on top of the world....... Then I proceeded to occasionally visit the hill in my teenage years of course..... always a fond memory....
Sorry for the huge novel about it, but this is a tough thing for me to not feel moved about..... I realize this is just constantly happening everywhere, but they're hittin' a real nerve right now. Especially being so far away, now I'm having all these thoughts of trying to do something.....
Meh :-\
Woodnymphs aren't happy when their woods are destroyed
I hate urban sprawl however I would much rather live in the heart of the city than out here in the boonies. However wW shouldn't ruin great hills like that for development. Leave great things like that hill along.
Not only did Nickelback punish football fans all over the world with their bombastic half-time performance at the Detroit Lions Thanksgiving game on Thursday, but they are also booked for a multi-song set at tonight's 99th Grey Cup CFL final. Yes, I said "multi-song" set.

Their 3-song half-time show brutalized the senses from Newfoundland to British Columbia and up to the North Pole down to the Canadian border. I think they are Canada's worst music export, which includes the likes of Justin Bieber, Celine, Avril Lavigne and Gino Vanelli.
I so don't give a crap about Xmas this year. I normally don't anyways but I really have no patience for it this year. It's easily my least favorite time of the year. Can't we just get to New Year's now?

I understand how you feel. I haven't really enjoyed the holidays since my father died six years ago. I dread all of the family gatherings because he was the life of them. I get stressed out because I have to spend money that could be better spent elsewhere. I don't mind buying for my immediate family, but I hate the money I have to spend on the extended family. I wish they would quit exchanging gifts, but no one will take my suggestion. Also, the week after Christmas, I have to deal with my sister-in-law who comes from Boston and makes me miserable every, single, year. It's been especially bad the past three years. I would love to enjoy my time off from school, but the intrusive inlaws drive me crazy. I think next year I will go to the beach that week. I would go this year, but I've got some debt to deal with. Ahh, debt..... :-X

I am SO with you on this. After years of having to buy presents for my brother's in-laws (??? I mean really ???) we are *finally* just buying stuff for the kids this year. Maybe see if your family would be open to something like picking names next year? I'm happy to buy for my immediate family too (and really just thrilled that we get to spend the holiday together) but it really gets to be a financial burden and a stressor to buy stuff for people you barely see and don't know very well. And who needs extra stress around the holidays?

We only draw for immediate family here. My wife and I are to the point that we do not even buy each other anything. If we get something it's for the house and it's something we both enjoy.
We've got three kids at home so most of the gift budget goes to them; however, I do try to get my husband something although it usually isn't extravagant. With our extended family, the kids draw names and then we buy the older ladies (no older men left)in the family something. I would really just prefer to get my aunts something and forget about the kids. They are about to graduate college except for my kids, but my kids would be fine with not exchanging - they never get anything that they care for (another reason why it is such a waste). Going to visit them at Christmas is so much more stressful since I've had kids. My kids are bored to tears while we are there since no one is close to their age, and they only see these relatives at Thanksgiving and Christmas. If I could go visit my aunts without everyone else and all the hoopla surrounding the holidays, I would enjoy it so much more. I try to make a point of visiting with them when the rest of the relatives aren't around, but sometimes it is difficult to work that in with all the responsibilities of raising three kids, one of which has mild autism and one of which we adopted after having spent most of her life in foster care and then the other one just seems to want tons of attention because she's the youngest and an absolute mess.
My husband's family isn't so much into gifts as they are into spending 24 hours a day with the entire family for the entire week between Christmas and New Years. I like them, but I don't want to spend that much time with anyone, not even my own family. They end up fighting and getting angry with one another when what they really need are some boundaries and less time with each other. Each side has their ups and downs, I suppose. Regardless, I'd be so much happier if I could just go on a cruise for the entire time and avoid the holidays altogether. So much falls on me: cooking, cleaning, making everybody's holiday special and being Santa. Men have it so much easier at this time. They get to gripe about how much women spend and watch football. (I'm well aware that I'm over generalizing. That's just how it is in my marriage.)

My dog chewed on a memory card from my camera. 1700 or so pics on there that, like idiots, we haven't backed up. These go back my second son's birth, so it's invaluable. Has anyone ever had luck with data recovery from this type of thing. This is PHYSICAL DAMAGE and not your regular corrupt hardware that can be easily recovered. I've gotten a quote for $600 to do this, but I'm just wondering if anyone has any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, people. I found a company that will do it for $325. No charge if they're unsuccessful. They ask for certain files that are most important and they'll work the hardest on those. I'm going to give them the dates right around my son's birth and hope they get those. Anything else will be gravy, I guess. Very expensive gravy. :-\
Lesson learned.
I feel your pain, JonT. My dog is a little over a year old...not sure what breed, supposedly Chow/German Shepherd mix. I can't leave her in the house alone at all. During the day, I put her in the basement where there is nothing she can destroy. She has to be chained outside while we eat, and she has to sleep in our room with us at night so she doesn't chew anything up...she never chews or does anything bad, really, as long as you're in the same room as her.
Last night we tried leaving our bedroom door open. Not 30 minutes later, I hear a crunching sound. She's chewing up the wooden handle of a steak knife. Not a huge deal, but we had to lock her in the room with us again. I let her out this morning for one hour or so and she slipped out of her collar and knocked a huge potted plant down the stairs. She's chewed up DVD's, record sleeves, leashes, gloves, my mountain bike seat (brand new $1100 bike), garden hoze nozzles, broken out 5 windows. She has stomach issues and constantly walks around throwing up (maybe 2-3 times/week). She often keeps me up at night and wakes me up early in the morning.
I think next time I'm getting an old dog, lol. Or at least a calmer breed. I still love her though :D
Sorry again to hear about your pictures. I haven't lost anything nearly that valuable yet. Reminds me that I need to get my butt in gear on getting all my files backed up. Good luck getting yours recovered!

Ugh, thanks. Our dog... We had to put MY DOG down last November. He had cancer. We got that dog before we had any kids so he was our kid. When we had to put him down last year, it was devastating for all of us but it was the hardest to see my son hurting so much. We were watching a home video one night and the dog (Charlie) came on the tv. My son jumped up and screamed, "Charlie!" and started petting the tv. Talk about a heartbreaker. We had a new dog by the weekend. Terrible decision on our part. We weren't ready emotionally and our lives are just too busy now for lab puppy. Anyway, our new dog Max is getting the shaft. He is very smart and has the potential to be a good dog, but I just don't have the heart or the time to train him properly.
Good luck with your pup!

I've never lost a dog before, so I can't imagine...especially seeing your son like that.
My issues are probably due to lack of training, too. She seems very smart...she learns new tricks in like 5 minutes, seriously. But she just kinda does what she wants or has separation anxiety or something. She usually comes back when called, but not always. She follows me around the house like she's guarding me. She's a good dog, just needs some training so I can leave her in the house unattended. Not sure if it's just because she's a pup or what. I often forget how young she is, since she looks like an adult dog...and she is, just a young, very energetic adult! I've heard she probably won't calm down until she's 3 or so...

Man, I was in an (exact) opposite spot. When I was growing up, my first dog, named Charlie, had his life cut short by stomach cancer. One night I was really sick, and layer in my parents bed for hours why they were out doing something or another. Charlie was laying with me the whole time, which was weird cause he wasn't about laying. That night when my parents came home he isn't even get up to greet my dad, which was WEIRD. He went to the vet, and that was that.
Now, I live alone, took a cat out of pitty( I am not a cat person) and it turned out to be the most dog like cat in the world. If I'm home, she's on my lap, she sleeps in my bed, etc. very weird for a cat, but finally a pet that is as sweet as Charlie was.
You're killing me Jon. My oldest daughter had a picture book out last night and many of the pictures were of her with our first dog. The dog died when my daughter was about 4 and it was really shitty. We were so worried that the dog would be all freaky and jealous when we brought our daughter home from the hospital - we kept them seperated for a while (I miss being frightened and paranoid first-time parent). Turned out to be the opposite - that dog loved our daughter to the point that we were convinced that she would turn on us if she thought we were being too hard on our daughter.
Really hope you get your pictures back. Will certainly make the ones that you do get back extra-valuable. You've inspired me to back my shit up and be better to our dogs.
My wife has nixed the planned NYE weekend trip to Chicago because she just doesn't want to do anything. We were staying at my good friends house to visit her and her husband. It was going to be a great weekend of hanging with then, drinking, and eating great food. Now it's staying at home and goign to bed before 10PM on NYE. dammit to hell anyways.....

Not to butt in, but since you posted it on a forum...
Might you go alone? Offer her a chance to have a solo visit to one of her friends some time? My wife and I often do these type of things solo because of the three kids. This New Years, we're letting our daughter have a birthday party sleepover (her birthday is Dec. 28). I will take one of her sisters 3 hours drive to my friends in CT for a NYE weekend, sort of divide and conquer. I get to party with my buddies that way. She'll head home to Chicago on her own usually once a year. The same with concerts and movies, though we do actually do some of these things together, with and/or without the kids.

No prob
Going alone is sort of an option but the whole point of my freinds inviting us up for the weekend was to see both of us. Its a freind of 20 plus years (minus about a 15 years gap because of my stupidity) and they've met my wife only once. I
The thing that ticks me off the most is she gets pissed if I'm non commital about stuff, but when I do take a stance and decide we are doing something (which is what she wants me to do as she never wants to make the decision) her answer is 99.999999% no. I'm always dammed if I do damned if I don't. And if I do, she makes it so miserable that I never want to do it again.
yeah, it's healthy :(
And now our systems are messed up so I cannot do my normal daily work. In fact I have nothing to do so I guess I'll go home....oh wait, I can't go home early. sumbitch today is getting worse.

I'd go alone. My husband and I do this frequently. It's her loss if she doesn't go. Also, this sounds quite a bit like passive/aggressive control. You might have a much better time without her there. In my marriage, we both have things we like to do that the other one loathes: I like to go to concerts; he likes to go to ballgames. I always regret bringing him with me when I go to a concert so I've learned to either go with a friend or go alone. Also, with three kids, it makes it much easier on the child care situation. When we get back together, we have a great story to tell the other one and we are the happier for it. It actually is one of the things that make our marriage work. We like to things together too, but sometimes we just need to go do things for ourselves. It sounds like a twenty year friendship might be one of those things that you need for yourself. Don't make excuses for her. Just say that she wanted to stay home on New Years. Your friends will get it.
Taking 2 days off of work to see a show, traveling 7 hours, getting to the venue early to get a good spot on the floor, only to get stuck by a clueless ass who barges in last minute and thinks he is entitled to 3x more floor space than the rest of us and can't manage to keep from falling down repeatedly by shows end. Grrrrrrrr!

I feel your pain. Sometimes the other concert goers can ruin a great show.
Thx Fully...I am all for the party, but always within the spirit of those who have come together to see the show. I do have to admit that this could be karma for my behavior at concerts 20 years ago- ha. ;)

;D ;D ;D I gather you get on her nerves ;D ;D ;D ! I can relate though. Sometimes my husband seems a little too enthusiastic for me to go to a show. Apparently I'm much more pleasant if I get out of the house or the house is more pleasant if I'm not there. I'm not sure which one it is. Ahhhh, marriage...

;D ;D ;D I gather you get on her nerves ;D ;D ;D ! I can relate though. Sometimes my husband seems a little too enthusiastic for me to go to a show. Apparently I'm much more pleasant if I get out of the house or the house is more pleasant if I'm not there. I'm not sure which one it is. Ahhhh, marriage...
I wish mine yelled at me go do something. She's way too much of a homebody. It's a nightmare just to get her to be ok with me going to a show. She's gets pissed when I go out because she's not but then when I offer to take her, noooooo. It's gotten worse the last couple years. No clue what started this or how to get her past this.

My wife has nixed the planned NYE weekend trip to Chicago because she just doesn't want to do anything. We were staying at my good friends house to visit her and her husband. It was going to be a great weekend of hanging with then, drinking, and eating great food. Now it's staying at home and goign to bed before 10PM on NYE. dammit to hell anyways.....
Not to butt in, but since you posted it on a forum...
Might you go alone? Offer her a chance to have a solo visit to one of her friends some time? My wife and I often do these type of things solo because of the three kids. This New Years, we're letting our daughter have a birthday party sleepover (her birthday is Dec. 28). I will take one of her sisters 3 hours drive to my friends in CT for a NYE weekend, sort of divide and conquer. I get to party with my buddies that way. She'll head home to Chicago on her own usually once a year. The same with concerts and movies, though we do actually do some of these things together, with and/or without the kids.
No prob
Going alone is sort of an option but the whole point of my freinds inviting us up for the weekend was to see both of us. Its a freind of 20 plus years (minus about a 15 years gap because of my stupidity) and they've met my wife only once. I
The thing that ticks me off the most is she gets pissed if I'm non commital about stuff, but when I do take a stance and decide we are doing something (which is what she wants me to do as she never wants to make the decision) her answer is 99.999999% no. I'm always dammed if I do damned if I don't. And if I do, she makes it so miserable that I never want to do it again.
yeah, it's healthy :(
I'd go alone. My husband and I do this frequently. It's her loss if she doesn't go. Also, this sounds quite a bit like passive/aggressive control. You might have a much better time without her there. In my marriage, we both have things we like to do that the other one loathes: I like to go to concerts; he likes to go to ballgames. I always regret bringing him with me when I go to a concert so I've learned to either go with a friend or go alone. Also, with three kids, it makes it much easier on the child care situation. When we get back together, we have a great story to tell the other one and we are the happier for it. It actually is one of the things that make our marriage work. We like to things together too, but sometimes we just need to go do things for ourselves. It sounds like a twenty year friendship might be one of those things that you need for yourself. Don't make excuses for her. Just say that she wanted to stay home on New Years. Your friends will get it.

Not knowing your wife, I'm just going to guess that either she isn't comfortable going out in public for some reason and she may have insecurities about you going out without her. Or she may not like your friends. Or she may just be a homebody. Who really knows. I do know that allowing her to control you will only bring resentment and frustration. You should talk to her about it. Really talk to her about it in a nonthreatening way. Otherwise the frustration is going to build up and then it is going to be much worse. My husband use to hold it in. And then explode. He's gotten better about that as we've gotten older. I'm sure I've grown as well. I don't know how long you've been married, but keeping all of your frustrations in usually doesn't end well. They've got to come out somewhere. A person can only take it for so long. We've been married for over 18 years, and the one thing I've learned is that it's better to talk about it than it is to suck it up. Perhaps your wife has things that she would like to go do. Suggest she go do them. If she gets out and has some fun, it might help her see that you need to go out too.
Also, one last thought. My dad died at 67. My husband's dad died over a year ago at the age of 73. We are both 44, and it hit us that if we live to be as old as our parents then we only have a little over twenty years left for me - a few more for my husband. It changed our perspective on life. We had spent all of our thirties raising our children (staying home to be with them) and now that they are teens and preteens, we are making a point of getting back out into our own lives. We still do plenty of family things. Tonight I've got to go to a play with my youngest daughter that she wants to see. Her friends are in it. I don't really want to go, but she wants to and it's something we can do together. So I guess my point is this: have fun now, you don't know how much time you have left on this earth.
a good kid who I've known for a long time, but became a friend and not just an acquaintence this summer was found dead in his bed yesterday. he was into some less than healthy shit, but this was basically the last thing I thought I'd hear this morning when I woke up today.

Forgot to send in my driver's license renewal. I've been driving with an expired license since November 11 and I have to wait a week for my camera card to come in the mail.
No power. No school. No work for me. Wife going in. Home w/3 daughters who think fun requires electricity. 3 yr old wonders why she can't flush the potty when Mommy and Daddy are constantly reminding her to. Good news - Omnichords can use batteries. Bad news - iPhone battery below 20%.
hang in there john. this too shall pass and my guess is you will be getting enough electricity next week to keep the power going for a long time .....

Art or fort building might be a good activity for the girls. Or you can do what I do when the kids complain about being bored. Make them clean something. I hope you have a fire!
Appreciate the advice. Once the sun was up, homework got done. Then we headed 30 min. drive to Concord, as our whole town was out and Daddy needed coffee!!! Just got back and power is restored. What a weird day.

Great! And now you can enjoy the rest of your day off! Weather related school closings are the best type of free day!
I would really love nothing more in this moment than to punch my sister's asshole of a boss in the face. He is REALLY screwing up our plans for MSG next week! >:(

I feel kind of lucky that my wife and I share in a LOT of common interests. We both love to go to shows and she shares in the likes of bands I listen to (for the most part ;) ) so that is always nice. And she is also into going to ballgames with me as well. We usually make a couple of trips to Ann Arbor every year to take in a Michigan football game or, like this year, we went to Chicago to see Michigan play at Northwestern. And she also doesn't hold me back if there is a show I really want to go to but it's on a school night or something.

That's great! I would love it if my husband shared my love of live music, but he doesn't. I like that we each have our own interests, but sometimes trying to hunt someone else down to go with can be a pain. However, it would also be a pain to hunt down childcare every time one of us wanted to go somewhere. And we do have things that we like to do together; we just don't do everything together.

Both of our parents live close-by so it's pretty easy to land child-care as we don't have to twist the grandparents' arm too much usually... 8)

I don't know whether to call it a complaint or a confusion or a what..... but a guy I grew up with since our mothers were pregnant with us at the same time has been missing since last Tuesday, Dec. 6, from the String Cheese Incident show..... His name's Jimmy Slack. No contact with him has been made by anyone since 3am after the show, after he'd been drinking, that said he was "still partying" and didn't know where he was. His phone was tracked to New Kensington, just north of Pittsburgh. If any Pittsburgh people have any inkling or knowledge of where he might be, please be in touch as soon as physically possible, or sooner......

Thanks very much Eric! I've been hoping so too... at the Xmas jam last night, my friend raised my spirits and said, "What if you just saw Jimmy, like, walk past you tonight....." Man how every face just started to look like his....
Never in a million years did I think I'd see him at any shows, etc, then randomly it just happened one day! And I've seen him at local fests and shows all the time since... found out he's real into the Dead and Phish and etc, and it's been such a neat journey reconnecting and sharing our similar music taste....(we were the only ones like us on our street!) God if he's out there okay somewhere, I swear I'm driving back home to see him.
Thanks so much for your thoughts, I'll be on here asap with news
Woodynymph, I hope your friend returns safe and sound and soon. Take care.
Stay positive, Jen! I hope your friend turns up! :-\
Vibing you like crazy for good news there, Jen.
Thought I posted this last night...not sure what happened to the post...but hoping for good news Woody!
Grandpa is in the hospital with breathing problems. He's 75. Hope he hangs around for awhile. He's a great guy.
Jen, fingers crossed for good news.
Thank you all so much for the thoughts and good energy!!! :-* :-* Trying hard to stay positive and praying as much as I can for his return
Oh and Hawk I wish the best for your grandpa!!! Keep us posted on him, too!
2 weeks ago my brother-n-law had a brain hemmorhage/anneurism which led to cardiac arrest, he seemed to recover and we thought he'd be in intensive care for another couple weeks, as of yesterday morning, they thought he was having mini strokes and they're unable to keep his blood vessels open. I've been waiting for the call any minute that he will not make it..no matter what, I'll be at the show WED (as this show is the only thing that's keeping me sane) - it's been touch and go with my nervous system...he is only 42. i don't want my only niece to grow up without a dad. I'm really pissed at him for being a smoker with high blood pressure and a history of heart probs in the fam. WTF!
Jen and Dan, keeping you in my thoughts as well..
Hang in there, Penny. That is rough. I'm sending all of my positive energy your way.
So sorry to hear, Penny. I'm sending some good thoughts and vibes to you,your family, and some extra ones to your niece. :-*
Man, that is a crazy story woody. I hope it has a happy ending. A good friend of mine wandered off and goot lost at a Dead show back in the late 80's. He ended up taking about 6 hits of acid and wandered off on his own. We were looking for him most of the night and were just about to head home without him when he finally showed up at a medical tent. He had a very bad trip and ended up in the hospital for about a week as it seemed he wasn't coming out of his trip. He finally took a turn for the better, but to this day, still seems a little off after that trip.
Hawkeye, I'll send off some thoughts and prayers to your grandpa as well.
And sorry to hear about your brother Penny. Thoughts and prayers for him and his family and for you and your family as well. I'm 40 so hearing your brother's age really hits home to me being a father of 3 young girls myself. Hang in there! I'm sure he'll pull through!
Much love to all of you guys...heavy stuff to handle, especially around the holidays.
....too much heavy for this time of year. My heart goes out to you all. Hoping brighter days are on the horizon.
I'm sorry, Penny. Send positive vibes your way.
Woodnymph, have you or anyone tried contacting local jails and hospitals? That'd be a good move if you haven't. Hoping for the best...
Thanks so much for the love everyone. Penny, I'm keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers too!!

I haven't heard exactly that they have, but I've got to assume they've checked... that was my very first thought, too... "Hey he got rowdy and probably got tossed in the pen..." (or injured himself somehow) But they organized a huge search for him a few days ago and have called all radio stations and news channels to advertise his missing... as well as riding the police's asses about it too. There are so many people really involved that I've really got to think they've covered that turf, though I will certainly pose the question, on the off-chance that they hadn't thought of it.
Here's their sweet page on facebook for him...

Aw thanks so much Maggie *huuuuugggggsss** :-*
They're holding a candlelight vigil for Jimmy in just a few minutes back home, so I'm gonna go get my candles and light them at the same time to pray with them! Praying for his safety and his return, and prayers for their whole family, they're going through a lot right now with the grandparents too........ :-\ :-\ :-\
Many Blessings <3
A lovely rainy candle vigil tonight....

Penny I hope your brother-in-law is doing ok?? How's everything going?
While this complaint isn't nearly as serious as what both Woody and Penny are dealing with... I am in a state right now. My ten year old niece, whom I dearly love, but has a tendency to trash my house (she almost burnt it down three weeks ago -slight hyperbole there) spilled maraschino cherry juice all over my couch last night. So far the fabric cleaner that I have used is not working. Pissed is perhaps the nicest word I can use right now.
It looks like it'll be a green Christmas in Southern Ontario and Toronto. Sucks is an understatement. People were playing tennis yesterday as I walked along Lake Ontario without a winter coat. It's below freezing today, but rain is on the way. Hope some of you have a white Christmas.
My cousin who lives in Phoenix told me that he would get me a ticket for the Fiesta Bowl right after it was announced that OSU would be in it. Now a day before my plane leaves he texted me last night and said he couldn't get me a ticket. So I'm heading to Phoenix without a ticket.
You'll find one. Good luck!
So drunk I'm crosseyed and not sure what site I'm even on. Wait, what, who, oh, uhhfuck. Not going too feel good on the am. or an hour later.

4. Koehler. good grief, who thought it was a good idear to drink that much.
5. Ouch. And I'm pretty sure I only had four drinks all night. Gettin' old.
So this girl I sort of know got severely slashed in the face with a box cutter on nye during a bar fight she wasnt even a part of. I don't know her that well but we have mutual friends. Total drug bar. From what I understand she was just in there getting a tweleve pack. Fucking scumbags.
didnt have anyone to talk to so here i go....
Two years ago I moved to another state with my fiance and on to what seemed to me a great new career. Everything was great. I finished my school and I was going to marry one of my best friends and about to enter everything i had worked for... well that lasted a month. My fiance and I broke up and i became a zombie. I was lost. I was let go from my new job as a trainer that i was handpicked for and not to mention my company relocated my on their dime, well because i wasnt functioning. Embarrassed and too proud to go home to my family, I moved to a different city because I felt there was something else waiting for me to accomplish and it wasnt back home. I found peace in the mountains, related to the diverse community, amazing local brews and food AND after many years of severe insomnia i was able to finally sleep. with out medication and all the way through the night. I took this as I was finally relieved of what ever the fuck was stressing me out so bad, so I began to plant my life in this city, 14,000 miles away from everything and everyone I knew. I have made a few friends but i havent been here longer than 7 months now. I became very close with a guy i met at a show and we soon became inseparable. I never thought once in my life things would get violent with him. This past friday evening we went to a perpetual groove show and had a great time. Had some drinks and went home. He flipped a switch when we got home and i still cant understand what happened but here I am bruised all over and not wanting to leave my room. This wasnt the first time i was physically assaulted by a boyfriend so i can not play the victim but only blame myself for being so dumb and trusting. and as for this adventure i once thought i was brave for i know find myself feeling like a total idiot.

Hey eu86, I'm sorry this all happened to you. Get some help, stay away from the fucker, and know we love you here, as much as we can as strangers on a web forum. I don't know what else to say. Take care.
thanks johnY, what you said was more than enough to make me feel not so alone.. so thank you,...i want to talk to someone but i just havent been able to but i wont let this conquer me. I say this a lot but i feel a lot of comfort , love and sense of belonging coming on here. hugs <3
thank you again
eu, you might also want to call the National Domestic Violence Hotline - 1-800-799 SAFE (7233). We are sympathetic, but they might be able to provide more actual help and constructive advice.
What happened is not your fault - please don't blame yourself.
Please come back and let us know how things are going. Take care, lady. You are brave.
sorry to hear that, eu. lots of love around these parts. hang in there. :)
You are brave, eu, and the only idiot in your situation is the asshole who hit you. Like the others have said, there is tons of support and understanding here, but I hope you can talk to someone for real: professionals who deal with that stuff for a living are out there for you. Many hugs and large positive vibes headed your way.
Definitely get some professional help/advice. But I'm with everyone else: this is not your fault. Stay away from this guy and keep yourself safe. I hope you feel better soon. I know the physical bruises fade faster than the emotional ones. Also, when you feel better, get involved in activities that you enjoy. You'll be surprised how many people you will meet that way. It does take time to meet people in a new environment, but be proactive about it. Also, that will help build you back up from this experience. Take care.

eu, i agree that calling the Hotline could be helpful, and if you want to take it a step further, call the police. A crime has occurred. Do not ever blame yourself for the actions of others. I'm not sure where you live, but there are coalitions in NJ where if someone is a victim of abuse, it is possible that a social worker will come out to you, once you report it to the police. I'm so sorry to hear how isolated you are feeling, but please know that there is support out there (and in here) for you.
EU--thanks for sharing, that's what we're here for! Please take everyone's advice above and hang in there....and please come back here to share or unload anytime you want or need some friends..you're so much stronger than you think and you did nothing wrong and shouldn't feel stupid at all..
I wish you all the best EU! Not sure I have much other advice besides what's already been shared, but we're all here for you! Like others said, surround yourself with positive people and activities you enjoy...life is too short to put up with negativity, and it can become a self-perpetuating cycle if you let it...trust me, I know. Meditation, good diet, and exercise really help too, to get the positive juices flowing!

Crispy took the words right out of my mouth! EU, I am so sorry for all that you have been through lately. Please do not blame yourself for the actions of others. There is help out there...Please do reach out to your local support groups. Hang in there!
Thank you for all the encouragement and kind words you all shared, especially your advice Alady and Fully. He is trying to reenter my life and at the time i first posted this I felt i had made him lose his temper and i felt it was my fault and i shouldn't make him feel bad for what happened friday night and just forgive him. I havent had anyone to confide in so i came in here. I woke up this afternoon feeling like crap and i just want to let you all know that i felt a great amount of love and strength after reading all of your responses. I am not completely there yet, but i was able to tell him to fuck off or the police would be involved the next time he contacts me, but I am still very confused and not completely confident. I tried to call the hotline you gave me Alady, but i hung up once someone picked up. I will try again tomorrow.
Thank you all for thinking of me and taking the time to respond. I am very grateful for my morning jacket not only does the music soothe me on a daily basis, but its helped bring me here with all you wonderful beings, from the bottom of my heart, thank you thank you
I deal with this nonsense on an almost-daily basis (professionally). People who strike out at people close to them count on their victims to have the feelings that you are having. You begin to accept some of the blame because of the shock of the whole experience and then you slowly let that person back in and the cycle starts all over.
It is not rare for people who deal with these experiences to let the person back in. In my experience it happens more than it doesn't. And it never works. You'll always find the trigger again, usually without ever knowing what the trigger is, and its worse the next time.
There is never an excuse. If he won't go away - seek an injunction.
We had a freakin' dusting of snow and every county in Middle TN except the one I teach in and one other one got out of school today. I'm really bummed that we didn't get out. The smack talk my husband and kids gave me this morning was unbearable since they didn't have to go. I'll get my payback later in April though when they have to make up a flood day and we don't. But I really would have enjoyed a four day weekend. :P
There was a murder a few miles from my house yesterday morning. That kinda thing doesn't really happen much around here. The suspect was on the loose in my area for a few hours. Been thinking about getting a gun...might be time! I know this kind of thing happens in big cities all the time, but I'm out in the styx...not going to be any law enforcement support for at least 10-15 minutes out there.

We've had about 4 inches so far and it's still coming down here in north central Ohio and all the city where I live in has been doing is spreading salt. None of their trucks have the plows on them to clear the streets. Gee. It's the middle of freaking January in Ohio. Don't you think it might be time to put the plows on the salt trucks??? ::)
BTW, my wife is also a teacher and she and my girls were hoping for a snow day as well but to no avail. They forgot to wear their pj's backwards last night... :P
At least it looks like we will finally get to dust off the old sleds tomorrow for the first time this winter for a little sled riding action which will make my girls happy! 8)

I own a laundromat that has been the target of a couple of break-ins over the past few months and I've been contemplating on getting a hand-gun liscence. My laundromat had been a 24 hour laundromat which I have since changed. But it is a little scary going down there at 11 at night to close the thing. I'm not a gun person at all which makes me leary of pursuing a gun liscence though...
Sitting in a packed waiting room at the doctors for an hour and a half. Might be worse than waiting for your name to be called at jury duty.
I'm not a fan of hail, thunderstorms, and tornado sirens and all things associated with them. However, I really do not like them at 2:30 in the AM...in the middle of January. What in the hell?!?!? I guess Al Gore was right about that global warming thing. It was almost 70's yesterday and it was 65ish at midnight still when the storms started. Supposed to be unseasonably warm by months end. Unseasonably warm as in it will be in the 80's. Great temp, wrong time of year. This is only going to end badly. And I'm running on no sleep.

besides the anxiety of waiting and draining the battery on my phone along with a growing fear of lymphoma (one of my brothers had it). looks like a weirdly placed swollen gland/sinus thingy....thanks for caring johnny :)

Same here.
As for the iPhone battery dilemma, I feel your pain... The only bad part of my trip to NYC for MMJ @ MSG was forgetting my charger cable and spending the last 4 hours of my return trip (train & bus) with nothing to do but look outta the window. Not many pretty sights along the tracks.

May I add my also relieved sentiment to this here. Be well, Val!
While getting a root canal my dentist went at the nerve in my tooth with the drill prior to me being fully numb. I have never felt pain like that before and I hope I never do again. If my dentist was a man I totally would have punched him in the balls. (My dentist is a hot female. I still should have punched her.)
I am trying to cut refined sugar out of my diet. I just started; it is way hard. Anyway, I bought this organic, gluten-free, high-protein sesame and almond bar. I thought it would make a delicious breakfast. WRONG. It tatsted like eating a fistful of bird millet. I don't know if the bar was just that nasty or if I really do have a sugar addiction.
First world problem, I know. I should just be thankful for what I got.
Tonight we're supposed to have a severe weather outbreak. It's projected to be the strongest line of storms to hit Tuscaloosa since April 27th.
I know 4/27 was a generational outbreak, but I have this sick feeling about it. I've always been a weather geek, but now I'm afraid. Stupid, I know. It just terrifies me.
I know. We are under the same warning. Stay safe, friend. When in doubt, sleep in the bathtub. It's supposed to start here in middle TN around 11 and not be over until 6am. Work tomorrow will suck after being up with the storms all night.
Stay safe Meg. Weather is supposed to get shitty here also but nothing serious.
The NWS issued a PDS tornado watch to the west of us. I'm starting to worry. My old neighborhood was destroyed on 4/27. If I'd been in my old place, I might not be here. The tornado's path was about 2 miles from my current home. Scary stuff.
I don't think i'll ever be dismissive of warnings again. Hope everyone in the affected area stays wx alert tonight.
I'm sure after the April tornadoes you are in a major anxiety mode. Hang in there. Hopefully, it won't be Alabama's turn to get hit. I noticed southern KY is on alert right now too.
My sis lives in SOKY. I went to WKU. I've been texting friends up there to remind them to pay attention to the weather.
These stupid storms are keeping me up. I'll be so tired tomorrow.
I woke up around 3:30 when lightning hit one of the trees in the backyard. My dogs were freaking out and I was, too. I ended up watching James Spann all night. Fully, you know what I am talking about. That guy is a superhero.
Sad news this morning in Alabama:

I have some friends in EMA who are telling me the fatality count is currently 6. I grew up around Trussville and Centerpoint and have a lot of family friends there. Please send lots of positive energy, thoughts, and prayers to everyone affected last night.
If you can, donate to the Red Cross.

Could you guys send some positive thoughts my way? My grandfather is back in the hospital, and the situation does not look good.
It is so hard on all of us. We love PawPaw so much, and want him to be healthy; however, his health has been deteriorating since he had a stroke several years ago.
My PawPaw is the most amazing man ever. He is a retired Marine who ended up being a computer programmer for NASA. He toured the world helping to establish internet connections at US Embassies. His love for Ham radio is what inspired me to pursue my career in broadcasting.
It's just, I love him so much, but I don't know how to feel. Since his stroke, he can't talk. He can't do anything he used to be able to do; it's as if he's trapped in his own body. I know he's miserable, and it's selfish of me to want him to hold on longer.
Just keep him in your thoughts and prayers, please.
Sorry to hear about that, Meg! Sending you positive vibes for sure.
Asshole corporate run cafeteria is actively trying to ban the food trucks from parking near our office. Most people here hate our cafeteria as it's drizzling shit for food. The trucks are on public streets not breaking any laws but breaking my heart with their awesome food. I was already boycotting the cafeteria for sub standard food but now they just pissed me off. Every truck that hits here sells out. Should tell you something. Most of the people that go to the trucks are people who go out to lunch so the slop house isn't actually losing any business. Fucking assholes
And the racists have started up their bullshit again in the office. One of the Glenn Beck teat suckers every time he hears Obama's name say's "You big dummy" in an obvious Fred Sanford voice. He's doing it because he thinks he's funny (and he's a bigoted pig) It's taking all of my strength to restrain myself from beating the fuck out of him in the restroom and leaving his pigheaded ass face down in the urinal. I've had it out with this person before when he's said other racially charged statements.
Fucking happy day, holy shit where is the Tylenol.

I stirred up some shit apparently on the food truck issues as others with pay grades larger then mine have addressed this with people that needs to make some decisions and the issue is being resolved.....thankfully. Take away my Filipeano, Korean, and Gyro truck and there will be hell to pay.
Just got back from the hospital. I may be losing my baby. We go back Saturday for more blood work. Then we'll know if baby bean is still alive.
Please, please, please, please pray for my little baby. I've made it through so much in my life, but this is just too much.

Meg - good vibes coming your way from Cali.
Hang in there Meg. I'm sending you all of my positive energy.
Sending some vibes from the Shores of Jersey your way Meg, hugs too.
That is devastating. Hope it all turns out for the best.
Hang in there meg, it's been such a rollercoaster ride for you.
Oh God, Meg! Praying for you guys as much as possible--- you've definitely pulled through so much, I don't doubt your strength to overcome!! Lots of prayers and love and light and hugs heading your way!!!!!
Thanks, guys. I am so scared. I want this little bean to keep growing. I've never wanted anything more. I can't lose this baby. I can't. Please send little bean your love.
Sending plenty of thoughts and prayers your way meg. Hang in there.
So I was planning on getting new tires as I've worn them down pretty bad. Turns out shit was all messed up on my little blue smurf of a car. Some kind of tire arm thing was broken off and I was going to be losing my abilty to steer. Yeah, that would have been good. That was an additional $300 on top of the $400+ for tires because my stupid car has an odd size. Yeah, I just have that kind of cash laying around. When the shit am I ever going to catch a break financially. dammit
I went to order another owl shirt from the MMJ store and I've noticed that ground shipping for a $20 shirt is almost $14? Is that normal? Has this changed recently or am I crazy...

Sean Riley busted out his owl shirt when we got together for the super bowl, claiming it's the luckiest thing he owns. It's getting a little old and faded and only makes rare appearances. Didn't help at all, obviously... maybe he needs a new one!
My stupid dog smells like butt and he won't get away from me. (I hate him.)
Damn foot is acting up again. Since the weather has turned shit cold again I guess this is a good time to take a small break from running and rest it up. Really do not want to go the route of getting another shot. I have a feeling no matter what I do, I'm just stuck with this until I decide to stop running which is something I do not want to do. At least until I do my next race. That one may kill me so we say see.

I hope you're ok Dylan
Penny- Oh I've been running outside even in the cold (which I don't mind until it hits about 20 degrees). Just been doing the elliptical now to keep up some cardio and to maintain that girlish figure. Back to wearing the sexy boot/split thing and rollin' my foot on a golfball.

Go to a doc in a box. They usually charge around $50 which isn't too much more than most copays w/ins. Plus, they may presrcibe some meds to help w/the pain. lemonade out lemons. :D

Wow, you are Harriet Houdini. How the hell did that happen?
Dylan- Watch for swelling. Ice where you think it's the worst. Try to do "normal" lifts and movements. If it hurts but it's managable/bearable pain, nothing is broken and just baby along. If you cannot do the movement or the pain is beyond bearable, you'll need to see a doc.

For goodness sake, go get some tamiflu tomorrow!!! If you take it within 48 hrs of symptoms, it will lessen (I have no idea if that is really a word) your symptoms. Or you might have food poisoning. Drink gatorade for the body aches. I feel for you. The flu just sucks.
How are our boys in the 'ville doing? Dylan, you conscious? Pissing blood? Hope you're okay. Eric, keep hydrated. Lay low 'til the feelings right. Being sick or injured sucks.
I'm doing better. Bruises are healing nicely and the symptoms from the concussion are waning.
You guys! Clam chowder and dirty mop water what gives! I hope you're all ok!! :-\ Dylan I'm glad to hear you're improving!
Hope folks are doing well and convalescing and feeling better!!
My current complaint was hearing one of my best friend's boyfriends call It Still Moves the sleepiest album he's ever heard, at dinner last week when I was home visiting. It's just now hitting me how annoying and ignorant that comment was. He said some songs rock out (on OTHER mmj albums), and he listens to those ones a lot (my friend vouched for that much), but still.
Wanted to bite him.
cock punch for that guy....
Whoever the hell gave me this awful cold, I hope you burn in hell. I do not get sick often but this shit is annoying. Thankfully it's just a head cold but damn. Please turn of the spigot that is my nose. I'm so tired of blowing water out of it. I'd like to return to my normal routine.
I can't eat anything. I have "morning sickness" 24/7. I miss teh foods.
:'(
'Tween age girls are hard to handle. I can't believe the girl "drama" begins at age 9. Really. I told Chrissy to just hang out with the boys, they are so much simpler -- and I mean that in the best way possible.
K, thanks for letting me share. :embarassed:

As a father of a 15 year old girl I can say that it hasn't been an easy ride for us. Hold off on that cell phone for as long as you can ( 4000 texts a month average ). I feel for her because at her age she's finding her identity as a freshman and it's an awkward and difficult time. She's really a smart kid. She seems to attract friends that have issues that become our issues. Your right about the boys, girls can be vicious.
I think any school teacher would say give me a room full of mischievous boys before you give me a group of caddy girls. Boys don't hold grudges like girls. They fight and then they make up. Girls take shit to their graves and want serious revenge usually in the form of emotional abuse which can last a lot longer than cuts and bruises.
*doesnt miss teaching.

I'll take it even farther. I'd rather have a class full of straight thug boys than teach a class with girls who have attitudes. I've got one right now. Luckily, I've seemed to win them over - which really doesn't happen very often, I might add. It's just awful.
Yeah, my 13 year old boy is a treasure to raise. Nice friends, even when they get in spats, usually doesn't put up a fight when asked to do stuff and will actually volunteer to do things (and he wants to be a brewmaster - yesssss) My daughter is turning 10 very soon and I'm about to lose my shit with her as she wants to be one of those horrible plasticy bitchy caddy girls. I cannot take that. And yes, girls are just vicious and they were vicious when she was in kindergarten. We are the "bad" parents because we make the kids do work around the house, make them do their homework, make them go to bed at reasonable times, etc etc. Their friends are doing all kids of crazy shit and they kind of get grief because we do not let our kids get away with that crap. Other parents think we are mean and overbearing because we actually make our kids listen and show respect. Then again, that why my kids are in the top1% of their classes.

Yes, it's really a struggle trying to help a little human develop, isn't it? Especially with what goes on in the world around them. My 9 yr old has always been very strong-minded, which can be a great thing, though very challenging. I am just concerned now with some of the girls that she is hanging with on the playground - I can totally see them as the "mean girls" and I don't want her in with that crowd. And this is why I totally had boys for friends. Girls are just way too dramatic, but they are also FREAKING AWESOME! I am just really starting to see how the peer thing can really play such a huge role.
Thanks for the feedback guys, so nice to know I'm not alone :)

So true, and the thing that sort of sucks is that her teacher is a 50 something man who still lives at home with his mom. I mean, I am not trying to judge here, but he is pretty clueless as to what is going on in the 9 yr old girl world.

As a middle school teacher it is obvious which parents make their children behave, and which children run their households. Thank you for being caring parents! I'm sure it is making her teachers job a ton easier because she isn't trying to dispute every word he/she says. Please continue raising your children correctly.
Reading this is scary...my wife really wants a little girl...yikes. I do remember once in 5th grade when all the boys had to leave the room. Our teacher was a youngish lady...I just assumed all the girls were getting the "period" talk or something....turns out there was some huge incredibly catty nastiness going on, that I was totally clueless to.
Anyway, I'll be happy with whatever we have, but I do think boys are easier in a way. I know I was. I was scared of my Dad though, so that's probably why I was so good! I'm not sure why I was scared...I mean, I only ever got one spanking, ever, and I totally deserved it...I dunno. I think I genuinely wanted to be good too, and I was smart and naturally quiet. I hope my kids are 1/2 as easy as I was...although I hope they're not as expensive! Lol. (Yeah right)

I love walking into parent teacher conferences and they last 2 minutes and the teacher only has to say our kids are a pure joy to have in class
I loved being in a parent/teacher conference where I was both! ;)

Kids can be mean generally, I don't think girls have the corner on that market. Thankfully most outgrow it? ???

How long have you been teaching? Or are you going from your experience as a parent?
In my 8+ years of teaching I never had a group of boys gain up and form a club thats sole purpose was to exclude and emotionally abuse a single student. However, it happened nearly every year with the girls. Boys can be mean too, but mostly in different, less harmful ways, at least at the ages I taught which were 7-10 year olds. And most do outgrow it, but unfortunately not until well into high school. Again, ask a teacher, boys are easier.
*tbd, as a male teacher I didn't pretend to understand what went on inside 9 year old girls' minds, but I tried my hardest to take care of these situations and would often call in the school counselor when I didn't know how to talk to these girls about simply being nice to each other. The scene Hawkeye described where the boys were removed and the girls had to flush out the caddy nonesense was an annual event in my classroom, but I usually let the female counselor or a female teacher take the lead. Never had to do that with the boys, a simple conversation and a forced hand shake usually did the job.

Ohh, RUCKUS. Are you at work?
skeet skeet skeet
I am fairly certain that I work for a wife-beater. The guy treats me like crap one day and the next wants to be best friends...then gets angry when I have nothing to say or don't feel the need to joke and play with him. So then I get treated poorly all over again.
What an ass he is and what an ass I am for taking this job.
Grrrrr. That's awful, NoLa.
One thing's for sure, you're not an ass for taking the job. You couldn't have known he'd be like this.
How are the job prospects in your field? Sounds like it might be time to start looking.
Hugs to you, lady. Here's hoping you find something better, and soon!
Thanks, Maggie...it's definitely time for me to move on, but there aren't many prospects down here. I'd like to stay in this area a little while longer, but I'm not sure how long I'm going to last...hopefully through Jazz Fest! :)
Will send out some hopeful vibes that you'll find something - you're a smart, accomplished lady. And I know how much you wanted to move there, it really seems to suit you. Good luck!
Back went out last night. :-\ I've spent most of the day on the living room floor. I can barely move, but some leftover percocet has helped a little.
Related but different complaint... While laid up, decided to watch Close Encounters with my 2 older girls. They would not shut up during the whole thing. Kept asking questions. Just watch and enjoy, dammit! >:(
I'm getting old. :(
What a start to my February break!
Need that Forecastle announcement to cheer me up.
OH NO JY! Take it easy, wouldya?
Seriously, hope you feel better reallllllllllllllllllly soon!
Oh that sucks, Johnny. I hope it gets better soon. Maybe you can get some more percocets.
Our house was robbed today. Luckily they didn't take much, but they fuckers made a hell of a mess. Feel violated....
Sorry to hear, Ralph. I hope they catch 'em. Glad no one got hurt.

Sorry to hear, Yac. Bad backs suck. I've thrown mine out a couple of times. One of my son's tball coaches was jogging on the field last week. He looked at me and said, "I threw my back out today so bad you wouldn't believe". I was thinking, "you're right, I don't believe it. I've done it and you don't jog around afterwards". Sheesh, some people.
Sorry to hear about your house, Ralph. That happened to my brother and his wife once. It was pretty traumatic for them, even though they didn't steal much.
My complaint.. I noticed some wall discoloring above my shower. I took out the wall behind the shower yesterday and discovered a pretty massive mold problem. Plus a leaky pipe that has the sheetrock saturated from floor to ceiling. So, thats
cool.

OH Dave, how awful. I am so sorry to hear this. I remember when I was a kid, my grandparents house was robbed, and I happened to be with them when we arrived home to find the house in complete disarray. What an awful feeling. I'm glad they didn't take much, and glad that no one was there or hurt, but it's still a tough thing to shake off . Take care :embarassed:
Cheers everyone. Im trying to be zen about it all. It's only stuff and no one got hurt. The cats are totally freaked out still though.
And most importantly Mr Burgler obviously isn't a gig poster buff cause the At Dawn Burwell is still on the wall! If only he had done his research before coming over...
And Johnny, look after yourself mate. Hope the back is better.

And Johnny I hope your back improves asap!!! Thinkin' of ya and crossin my fingers for a speedy recovery!! (easy on the backflips!!)
ralph--so sorry about that! glad no one was hurt and not much was taken, though
JYAC--DRUGS DRUGS DRUGS---good luck to your back recovery
I know it's not a complaint but today is the day bluesky is leaving NYC and heading westward. She has become one of my closest NYC friends and concert buddies. I'm really going to miss her but I wish her the best of luck out there. If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere! (for some odd reason i want to break into Laverne and Shirley's Shameezle Shamozzle-hosenfeffer corporated...we gonna do ittttttt) SAFE TRAVELS, my friend.
Buddy back home in IA OD'd on heroin. I just thought he smoked weed, never knew he was into that stuff. I guess there has been a rash of deadly heroin in the area for the last few months. He had two kids. He was more of a friend of a friend, but I hung out with him a fair amount several years ago. Sad :'(

Happy trails to bluesky! So excited and happy for you, lady :-*
Thanks for the "get well soon" messages, everyone. Day 3 a little better, but just took my last leftover percocet, so... :-\
Movin' Away... sorry we're losing Bluesky to the left coast, but sure we'll cross paths again. Best of luck. Send me your address.
Very sorry for your news, Hawk. Take care.

Going to miss seeing you, and your always smiling face Val. Safe travels out west, and I hope everything goes well for you. :-*
I'm sure we'll cross paths at a show again sometime, and I'll definitely pack my "Jerry" shirt for the occasion. ;)
NYC will not be as sunny and bright w/o Bluesky.
We will really miss you hear Val. For the concerts, the drinks, the dinners, conversations, laughter, tears and all of the good times -- well, I look forward to the next time I get to receive one of your award-winning hugs.
To the friend who first introduced me to others here on this wonderful forum, I want to say that my time in NYC has been vastly improved by having you here.
Safe travels my friend. We will meet again soon.
😍you all are very sweet and I will missing looking around a show and seeing your faces; I know we will meet again!
Complaint #1 - Have to drive 3 hrs. south to Fresno on Sunday (my day off) and stay the night at a crappy hotel so that I can be at court bright and early on Monday in order to spend the day testifying for a trial - then I get to drive 3 hours back home - IF I am lucky. I've been told the testimony could carry over to Tuesday. Monday is my birthday. >:(
Complaint #2 - my cable box took a header and had to be replaced so I lost everything on my DVR - so many ACL shows: both MMJ, Avetts, Monsters of Folk, Tom Waits circa 1978 and then some other really good Conan music performances, tons of Grace Potter, SNL MMJ, etc. :(
First world problems, I know, but it still sucks.
I am particularly cranky today. I had to spend an afternoon with my husband's ex wife this weekend, for my stepdaughter's bridal shower. It was a total drag. She is an attention seeking drama queen, and for the most part I can totally handle it, but it just got to me this weekend. My stepdaughter is getting married in Cancun in April, so we are all going there, and basically I am going to be on VACATION with her too. It's bad enough to spend a couple of hours. I mean, we did upgrade ourselves to a different building, so hopefully the contact will be minimal, but seriously. I am having a tough time seeing the glass half full today. Just steamin' around like an old crankpot.
Thanks for letting me share. >:(

Thanks girl! I am definitely going to try for it! And just to be clear, it's really just the ex wife that will be a nightmare......the stepdaughters are pretty cool, and I have a very decent relationship with them. It's just when the ex is around, all the dynamics change.

I hate my job so much right now. So I get massively chewed out by a VP because someone I work with didn't like the answer I gave to a question and the fact that I gave the answer and turned around and went back to work. She felt I was belittleing her because I gave my answer quick and didn't further engage in any converstation. So that warrents me getting an ass chewing of epic proportion?! Fuck you. I hate that fucking job and want out so bad.
I just looked at the email receipt from the Wise Man MMJ t-shirt I bought last night on the store and saw that I paid $13 to ship a $25 shirt (cheapest option). That shit is fucking ridiculous.

She felt I was belittleing her because I gave my answer quick and didn't further engage in any converstation. So that warrents me getting an ass chewing of epic proportion?! Fuck you. I hate that fucking job and want out so bad.
That sucks, mjk...I've been in some similar situations recently. Hang in there...hopefully a new job is not too far into the future...

Hey, you just had something to say! I agree, I might add. They've become buzzwords for people that don't think. I don't mind someone having different political views from me. But I hate when they get sucked in by the buzzwords. I feel the same for the left. Know what you are talking about, people. Although, I dare say, I don't most of the time ;D .

No doubt. Last time I checked, fascists and socialists were on the opposite end of the political spectrum and are mortal enemies.

MJK- There is nothing worse that someone who has an issue with you but chooses to address it with your boss instead of addressing it directly with you as logic would dictate. A manager who yells and screams, especially w/o asking questions is not too far behind. We shouldn't have to navigate our co-workers' insecurities. Hawkeye, hope your interview goes/went well.
I had an incredibly shitty day at work today and then at the end of the day my wife called to tell me that while she was sitting in the car, with our dog, parked in a parking lot with the engine off outside the barber shop where my son was getting his hair cut, some jerk veered off the main road and slammed into the passenger side of her car shocking the crap out of her.
THANKFULLY, no won was hurt and both Beth and my 2 year old golden retriever are fine. Just a bit shaken up but no worse for where. The car, well it will be in the shop for quite awhile.
We shared a nice bottle of wine tonight at dinner. I guess this day could have been a lot worse.

Thanks Woody, miss you and all of your great spirit! Hope our paths cross this summer.
And thanks Val. Quincy is looking forward to playing with you when next you make it back to Long Island.
Glad everything is OK, Jeff. Car accidents are never pleasant. I was actually a millisecond away from getting rear ended on the PA turnpike this morning & it freaked me out for a minute. Definitely not a good way to start a Friday.
Hang in there, Meg! Sending good thoughts your way :)
Yeah Jeff. So glad to hear Beth and your dog are OK.
And best to Christie and you Todd. It's great to hear your optimism. My thoughts are with baby peafunk. :)
Jeff, so glad the Beth and the dog are ok. I imagine she is sore today. How scary.
As Peafunk said,
"Thanks for the good vibes & thoughts, all! This forum never ceases to lift my spirits :)"
More good vibes going out to all of you folks who need them in here from my way, especially for that Baby Peafunk. :thumbsup:
Glad everyone is okay, Jeff. Give my best to Beth (and Quince).
Meg, you're never alone here!
Everyone have a great weekend. Find something to do that takes you away from "current complaints"... something you can post in "current joys"...
My car broke down this morning on the way to work. I had it towed to the first good mechanic I could think of and went on to work. This afternoon when I called to find out info, they told me that they were a week behind on their cars. Ugh. I don't even have any idea how much it would cost to fix. I guess I could get it towed somewhere else, but that would cost even more. So irritating. >:(
^ Heard's garage in Nashville (Thompson Lane area) is family owned by some trusted folks I know. They hook EVERYONE up with the best price no matter what. The kicker is you have to wait a week due to the amount of clientele that trust them. compare their quote if you can wait.

Thanks, but I've got the car in Columbia where I work. I guess I'll just wait a week. I'm going to be driving my 91 yo neighbor's old Caddy to for the next week if I don't wreck it first. The thing is a boat.

Look at the bright side Fully- sometimes it can be invigorating when circumstances force us to step outside of the routine of our everyday lives and be something else. In your case, you can choose a "gangsta" or a "geezer". The old man/lady smell, big boat feel, and higher gas bill (not to mention the badass sound system- ha) will certainly be...ummm... memorable. ???
I know...not much of a bright side, but that's all I got.
On another note, here's hoping the repair to your car costs only a fraction of what you fear it will be. :)
It's going to be almost a thousand to fix it. Not too happy about that. >:( But today he decided to let me borrow his farm truck instead of the Caddy. I had to take the gun out for him because he "might need to kill a groundhog" plus I do work at a school and it's illegal to carry a gun on school property. There is a sweet picture of he and his deceased wife when they were young taped to the rear view mirror. Also, because he is in the American Legion, he has small American flags stuck in all of his a/c vents. I tried to drive very carefully because if I had a wreck I would have been impaled on one of those things. Beggars can't be choosers. At least I'm not having to rent a car for the week.

Springtime in AZ but stuck in an office all day with windows that don't open. It is only a matter of time before one of the many tourists that visit this time of year is gonna walk up and start tapping on my window, trying to make me swim behind some coral or something.
Levon aint' doing too well, folks. :(
Flew out to see my Pops in Montana today. He had to have emergency surgery last wednesday because of a perforated colon (he apparently had diverticulitis and didnt know it...and he's a doctor). They removed part of his colon and he has a temporary colostomy. This isnt life threatening and he will recover, hopefully soon so he can be discharged from the hospital and I can help him out for the 2 weeks while Im here so its easier for him when I have to leave, but his progress has been pretty slow so far. He looked worse today than I expected, but was in good spirits. Were now almost a week post surgery, and he's still on oxygen, had too much pain in his feet/ankles (gout it looks like) to even get out of bed while I was there today, and is just on a liquid diet with minimal appetite. Considering he will need to go back into surgery to reconnect his intestines in a few months, his progress after this surgery makes me think that wont be a quick recovery. He's only 55.
Sorry about your dad, Scotty. Here's to an improved recovery. You're a good son.
That's pretty rough surgery, Scotty. My dad had lots of his intestines removed due to cancer and it is not a quick recovery. Hang in there; it's lucky you are able to be there for two weeks. I'm sure you'll be a big help to him.
I was going to complain about my air conditioner deciding to blow today on the hottest day of the year - but after reading about Capt. Scotty's dad I have decided I'm just a whiney bitch. Healing thoughts to you and yours Scotty!
Hoping for a speedy recovery, Scotty.
Just want to say the GMAT sucks. It's just not any fun at all.
why do people who have weddings think people actually want to go to them?
most cases the people have been together for years, are living with each other, sometimes they have kids. so who gives a fuck, you love each other, congrats. good work. bravo, here's a hundred bucks.
fuck this shit. there is nothing special about a wedding, it is the single most self-centered, or mutually self-centered act our society practices. and then there's the clusterfuck of lame ass old people and friends you fucking hate. not even an open bar can make the scenario pleasant. i don't care who you are, and what the scenario. weddings fucking blow. stop inviting me to them.
TEO say K Sticky no invite wedding... :-*
Petty complaint coming, but many of you will appreciate this...
Our washing machine of 10 years broke about 4 weeks ago. Called Sears at Home repair service. The best they could do was come 4 days later. I took a half day off from work to be here for the guy. He called to say he was on his way and asked what happened. I described the problem and he said, "Well, I can come and have to charge you $75 to tell you it'll likely cost $600 to fix, or we can cancel this repair order, save you the $75, and you can start looking for a new one." Fair enough, 10 years is a pretty good run, appreciate the honesty, don't bother coming. Time to do some research (after all, I've taken a half day off from work, right?).
Settle on a nice front loader, well reviewed and tested, and ON SALE. None in the local stores, but can have it delivered, plus haul the old one away! Sounds good. So, I order online AND save an additional 10% using the good ole Sears Master Card! Yay, me! Order placed April 10, delivery scheduled for April 20. No big deal, we can handle the laundromat for 2 weeks... (recall, we have 3 young kids, girls who like to change outfits at least twice daily)
Robo call from Sears the afternoon of April 19.. "Your delivery of..... has been delayed. Please call..." So now, delivery is gonna be April 27 (the good news is, April 27th is tomorrow and this week is my spring break, so I'm already home).
I got a call about 2 hours ago, an automated call, from Sears. "Your delivery of..... has been delayed. Please call..." Motherfucker! Those of you who know me would, I think, agree that I come across as a pleasant soul, but I lost it on 4 different poor bastards working customer service at Sears. Selling me an item they don't possess! Cocksuckers! "We're experiencing a manufacturing delay." What?!? You sold us a $1000 item that hasn't been built yet? AAahflsfhsfhsdfhsdfsfsaff fuckityfuckfuckfuck!!!!
So, now, remaining options will require cancelling the order, renting a truck, and buying what ever the hell some local store has in stock; waiting for the next available delivery from a local store, which is fucking May 4!!! or going postal. In the meantime, our current order remains in place and, for our troubles, we're receiveing $75... wait for it... patience... in the form of... you know it... a Sears gift card!!!!
Do they still sell guns? (just kidding)

I think this would be a good time to go put on some of your new record store day purchases and let them put you in a nice mellow frame of mind. Sorry about the delay. Last year, our dryer went out and I had to use the laundromat for awhile. The good part about it is that all of your clothes can wash at once. The bad part is that you had to hang out at the laundromat. I don't know about where you live, but in rural TN a visit to the "washerteria" is a also known as spending a couple of hours with meth addicts. I'll find religion and pray for you.
I told you it was petty. Reminds me of Seinfeld's bit on car rental...

If you plan on the 'going postal' option, please pre-appoint some worthy soul to carry on your ambassador-like message board vibes...an admittedly selfish but probably universally shared sentiment. Also, you can't listen to that wonderful vinyl collection in jail, so.... ::)

Missed this when you posted it, but obviously didnt make it to any of the holiday shows. Had (well, still have) absolutely no money since I was just graduating. Considering next NYE and future ones I will finally have money, its gonna be difficult to decide if I go for the Jacket or Phish's run!!!

Yeah, I got my Gary Clark Jr ticket a couple months back from Ticketfly and ticket was $25 and surcharges like $11 or $12. Absurd. There should be a maximum percentage of the actual ticket cost that is the limit for ticketing fees. 15% sounds reasonable. Get this through congress Obama!

My advice to you is to give it as much effort as you can, because you never know when you might have to go back to school for something else. If my GPA from my first degree sucked, I wouldve had no chance to get accepted in programs for my 2nd degree.

My tried-and-true criteria to quickly know if a music store is good or not, check the Frank Zappa section. If it contains only a couple CDs including compilations, then shop at your own risk. Likewise, the Miles Davis section contain at least a dozen classics.

It only would have been lowdown and repugnant if they let them get electrocuted when inexplicably it began raining during only their performance.

I figured that was the reason. Girls is an epic TV show and Fun is not fun.
3 from yesterday alone.... I definitely had a case of the Mondays....
First I go to an initial consult with my new doctor... he finally made it into the exam room 58 minutes after my scheduled appointment time. I was going to leave after an hour. My time is just as valuable as his! I understand things come up, but then make me an offer to reschedule or wait, my appt wasn't critical.
Then I go down to our cafe at work to grab some lunch to bring back to my desk so I can make up some time I wasted at the Dr. appt. As I patiently await my turn at the register the ladies ahead of me request a receipt for their purchase after the fact, no big deal one would think. Cashier of course needs a manager to give him access to past transactions. The lady actually left the register to find a place to sit, didn't seem that critical to her, but then her co-workers kept telling the cashier that the lady needed a receipt. Instead of helping those in line while the manager got there we all stood there somewhat patiently... Meanwhile the manager comes over and screws up the register something fierce and needs to reset it. At this point I was ready to hand the lady a tenner and tell her to forget about the receipt so the rest of us could check out and go about our break/business. What should have taken 5 minutes ended up being a 20 minute ordeal.
And to top off my wonderful day!!! :angry: I pick up my nephew for a birthday dinner and to take him shopping for a gift, he's 13 so I don't know what he has or wants. As we get to the table in the restaurant I get a text from my boss asking whether I sent out an email for a scheduled transaction next week. Easy enough request so I replied I did. She later came back asking if I included her in the distribution, I replied I used our mailgroup. She comes back saying she didn't think so and goes on to lecture me on how to include everyone on my emails. At this point I'm fired up, but trying to hide it so I don't ruin my time with my nephew. I don't have access to my work email so I can't even look to see if I made a mistake, but I was 99% certain I had included everyone. I get another text basically saying she should never be excluded from another email, came across as if I was trying to disrespect her somehow. I decided at this point not to respond since I could not substantiate my claim and I might say something I would regret. Moments later I get another text that she found the email I sent and somehow deleted it. Not even a "My Bad" or "Sorry I bothered you due to my lack of organization skills". I'm glad I don't fly off the handle like she does or we would be in constant war of words and I would be looking for other employment....
Done ranting... next person please step up to the soapbox....
I was supposed to go to an eventing competition (dressage, showjumping, cross-country) yesterday but it was rained out. We'd all been practicing for weeks.

Interesting, and I'm sorry to hear about this. I hate traffic (one of the big reasons why I live in Toronto's east-end core and bike or take the streetcar to work). I watched a news feature a few weeks back on the CBC evening news that linked rising unemployment numbers with urban/suburban sprawl, traffic congestion and inadequate transit options (in under-utilized neighbourhoods). Transit is the key, but the story pointed out that Atlanta's huge sprawl and lack of the municipal government in getting a feasible transit option off the ground put your city at top of the list.
Jaimoe, the public transit system in Atlanta is pretty much non-existent. I grew up in NE Ohio and we had transit everywhere and those metro areas were a lot smaller than Atl. However, I am a suburbanite and a transplant so essentially I'm part of the problem. Still the local municipal decision makers have some of the worst city planning skills I've ever seen. Okay, I'm done complaining..all smiles here :D

That's what the news story more or less indicated. Also that sprawl creates high unemployment since it isolates neighbourhoods and thus people have a tough time even looking for jobs let alone getting around. Atlanta was cited as the worst sprawl city in North America, and this includes Mexico City.
No offense lpkell, but the Atl has got to be one of my least favorite places to visit. Thankfully I have no real reason to ever go there which I don't plan on doing anytime in the foreseeable future... :cool:

It's all good iLikeBeer. I don't ever want to step foot in Ohio again and I grew up there...and still have family that live there. I do complain about Atlanta's traffic but there is also the amazing weather, the beach is a 5 hour drive away, the mountains are an hour away, the parks rock, and we only get snow once every 2 years or so. Plus I've grown to love the South. You should give Atlanta another try some day!

Complaints? Well, the Mayor of Toronto, Rob Ford, is well deserving of complaining about. He's an utter disgrace and embarrassment, and the latest crack-smoking video allegations (the police have the tape) have made my great city, province and country a laughing stock around the world. Awesome. He was a bad mayor well before his many missteps and scandals (and he's had several), so this is just bad icing on top of a really ugly pasty-white cake. I'm sure he'll be the subject of further ridicule on an upcoming Kimmel, Daily Show and/or Colbert (they've already roasted him in the past). Leno made a joke about him last week, but it wasn't funny. Laugh everyone, while knowing I burn with rage.

True, but Ford is running for re-election and after this latest development broke two days ago, his approval rating went up. Some background: Ford is a mean-spirited, simple and close-minded, cheap, hard-line right-winger beloved in the suburbs, but reviled by the vast majority of downtowners (Metro Toronto's population as of July 2013 is 2.8-million, and nearly half of us hate that fucker). The 'burbs are more populated, but the downtown population continues to grow and thrive, two things Ford hates, along with anyone he disagrees with, culture and arts, the media (no media backs this guy now) vibrancy, mom and pop based neighbourhoods, unions, higher education, gays and lesbians, biking, walking, parks, urbanism, progressive-thinking, and so on.

Indeed.
Well, I believe many of you are aware of my disgraced Toronto Mayor now. His crack antics, etc., are all over the news worldwide. Fuck, even The View chimed in yesterday. The best is Jimmy Kimmel's piece from a few days ago (I can't find it on YouTube). Here's a couple of other takes:
Rob Ford & Toronto featured on The Daily Show November 5, 2013 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCxrEfJyRfg#ws)
Rob Ford & Toronto featured on The Colbert Report November 5, 2013 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efomqKJuUfY#ws)
That Colbert one is hard to beat!
This has been such a joke. It's damn hard to get anything done at work when I'm glued to the TV waiting for the next development.
It only gets worse, but funnier. What a national disgrace. He's an island, so I'm not ashamed to be from Toronto, a great, vibrant and very safe city regardless and in spite of our mayor. This is funny stuff:

Logging on to the forum and seeing the Russian pharmaceutical spammers have struck 9 times. CC has his work cut out for him.
My parents lost their home (and pets) to a fire last October. It was their pride and joy. They had lived in mobile homes and apartments for most of my life. If not for the death of their son, my brother, at age 5, this would have been the worst day of their life.
Lucky for my parents, their insurance was to cover the cost of building a new home. Since their home had been built before recent zoning changes, this new home was required to be 6 feet off the ground as it was in a flood plain in rural NC. The contractors installed 30 foot pylons as required and the frame was started and my parents new home was beginning to take shape. That is, until today. The County Inspector has stopped construction and is requiring that the home be torn down and that they start over because he does not feel the contractor met the requirements even though we have a bill of sale for the pylons stating their dimensions, an environmental study, and a video of the pylons being driven into the ground. He has to personally view the pylons and see them driven into the ground before he signs off. This will come at a steep price that my salt of the earth parents cannot afford. He will not accept the evidence the contractor has and has not even viewed the video. This whole ordeal has taken a serious toll on my mother's mental and physical health.
My parents are both part of the volunteer fire department (my stepdad is retired USN, 20 years too) in their community and do not deserve to be bullied by their local government. I have contacted the media to see if they can help, but right now, I am beyond mad.
I'm so sorry Parker. I hope something happens to make this situation better.
That's bullshit, Parker. Sorry for your folks.
thanks, I needed to vent somewhere. It's so hard to hear your mother struggling, especially for this unabashed mama's boy.

I am sick of packing and moving. Between my personal and office lives I have moved 5 times this year; twice for myself and three times for my office.
