Current Complaints

[colleen]

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.  

Yeah, all that beer, cheese and chilli from the playoff watching parties! :)

Glad I'm not downwind from that.  :D

insomnia. 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.

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).

Thanks for your kind offer  ;).  Any significance to March 21st?

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.  :-[

Oh, maybe that's when your baby is due? Baby bottles, not liquor bottles, I think I am catching on.  :)

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!

nice. Makes me think of Walter Sobchack...

"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.

its already 31 degrees, and its only 8.20am...... thank god for airconditioning!

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.

;)(Sorry, this joke never gets old to me.  I have a problem.)

[dragonboy]

Earthquakes!
We've had a couple of small ones & one fairly big one in the last 2 months...not good (& downright f**king scary sometimes!)  :-/

Bush:   "So whaddaya think?"

New Secretary of Defense Robert Gates:  "I don't know, let's just throw more people at it!"

Bush:  "Brilliant!"

[megisnotreal]

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.
