Thread: Rant and Rave, Cry and Complain

Crashyy. You don't need her drama. There will always be someone else, as horrible as that sounds and as much as you probably don't believe that, it's true.
Without trust, there is no relationship.

Grats Link on the job!

Tommo, I ate a piss ant the other day on a whim (piss ant is what I call the tiny black ants which are commonly found in kitchens). I've often thought about eating bugs but I don't think I have the stomach for it.

I need to find the source of my ant problem... which is never a problem unless I go to sleep with my cup of Coke by my bed on a stand in front of my window. I woke, the other morning, to my cup swarming with the buggers.
I have an long box beside my bed that I now keep my coke on and I don't get them if it's there. Either the box is too slick or they just haven't found their way yet. Then I went to sleep with my wipes on the stand, and the ants were back. Turns out there was something sweet stuck to the bottom of the wipe container.
Interestingly enough, they don't like Skittles. I have an opened (but folded over) small bag on the stand and I've never seen the ants near it.

Otherwise, my only true rant is my knee. It's still swollen. Doesn't help that I climbed a tree yesterday to get fallen branches off the roof. Visually, the knee still appears swollen. SO- I finally got pushing and prodding some more and I no longer have any clue what's wrong with it At first, I thought it was a quad injury because, when I stand, the pain is on the outside and top of the knee. But I reminded myself that pain can be tricky and that I should examine the whole leg. When I push (fairly hard) on the bottom inside of my knee, it hurts a great deal more than the muscle running I previously suspected.
BUT, going further down my leg- about half a fingers length below the inside of the knee it feels like an actual cut. Like, bruises feel differently than cuts. When I push even lightly on this new spot it feels like there's a cut beneath my skin.
Who knows.
I refuse to go to a doctor though, when all they'll say is ice, rest and elevate. I sit on my butt almost all day as it is.

Rave: My friend really needs a roommate fast and offered to pay for my first month if it would help me move in with him! I didn't think I would be able to afford to move back to LA until August but now I cant stay and keep my current job which I love. He is a really nice guy and has a nice apparent across the street from my school. It will be much easier to spend time with my girlfriend now and there are a million good restaurants on the same block!

I hope your leg get's better soon Zhaylin.

Great job on the 3d gig Linkzelda! I just rigged my first quadruped in Maya the other day and it was a pain in the ass but I learned a ton from it. You should probably try rigging your character even if just for the experience.

Crashy, I have to agree with Zhaylin on this one. Trust is everything in a relationship. It takes two responsible people who trust and love each other for it to work out. Otherwise you are only going to hurt each other more. Give her some time and space to take responsibility but do not put your own sanity at stake. I give you my support.

Oooh, grats on the move, MadMonkey! Sounds like a really great arrangement!

My legs are still killing me- the whatever the heck is wrong with my knee AND the aches in my thighs. It's like having a constant toothache in your bones. It's bearable when I'm awake. When I lay down to sleep and there's nothing to distract me and I have to lie still, I just want to cry. Not because the ache is so bad. It's not. It's just always friggin there
I see an ortho doc in September if I make it that long

My buddy Simon (the cat) has gotten worse. He had that cut on his leg that I wrapped. I took the wrap off except for a smidge that was stuck to the wound. Destinee just called me to the restroom to look at him. He was on the counter and she saw his injury The wound is now uber inflamed and protruding. It's very bloody looking but when I went to treat him, it's not dripping blood. THIS time, I put some triple antibiotic ointment on the wrap. It looks like he also has a botfly larva in the wound. I REALLY hope he does. A maggot would do a MUCH better job cleaning the wound than I ever could. It's gross, but maggots truly are a blessing. I'll just have to help it come out of the cats leg when it matures.
I'm also still amazed by Simon. He's such a good, good boy. He meows in protest and pulls his leg away, but he doesn't lash out with teeth and claws (unlike his liter mates lol).

Ugh... time for bed. Maybe I should get a sedative.

Which reminds me... hubby's on the warpath. The lady who runs our lives (THANKFULLY) was having some health issue. She had hubby write her a script for prednisone (sp). The Pharmacist, at first, refused to fill it because "it's outside his specialty". He can prescribe anything he damn well pleases. Hubby thinks she may have thought he's on OD (glasses) instead of an MD (surgeon). He's still fairly ticked though. And for a change, I share his annoyance. You'd think he was writing a script for Oxy or something

**EDIT**
Rave? Something seems to help my tooth-achey legs: sleeping with them slightly elevated. I've slept like that for 2 nights now, plus one nap, so it seems to be something that will work. But why? Hubby says it might be a circulation issue. Time to go google it...
It is, however, a VERY unnatural way for me to sleep. I slept on my stomach with my hands beneath my thighs for some 25-30 years. Then I started sleeping on my sides. Now this? It's going to take some getting used to lol. It's like: what the heck do I do with my arms

Ugh... Feeling kinda mad at my neighbors below me. At night I have my headphones on while I am playing music and they knock from below. I would understand during the week but come on, on the weekend? They are really bugging me...

On the good side, might be turning my art into jewelry and possibly sun chasers. Hopefully people will like that. Will try to sell my jewelry/art if I ever get that going. Going to look into it.

If you have headphones in, how do the neighbors even hear it? If they hear it through your headphones, you MIGHT want to turn it down... or go deaf
Much success on selling your work! Have you tried Etsy?

Thank you maybe I am just being paranoid. Thanks I'll probably turn it down So I don't go deaf when I play at night.

Also been remembering my dreams more.

Like, playing an instrument? Or just listening to music? If you're playing electronic drums, yea that'll be noisy below. But if you're just listening to tunes? Either you're trying to make yourself deaf or you have extremely sensitive neighbors and the floor is made of cardboard. \


No real rants beyond my final project at school; still gotta get all that finished. But otherwise it's been a pretty productive weekend so far. Went to the gym yesterday and today, did all the cleaning, went grocery shopping + errands, changed my oil, put in the air conditioners today, did all the laundry and finally organized the walk-in-closet space (only took 7 months to get to it). I have off work tonight, so tomorrow all I gotta do is cook for the week and work on my final project. I'm not sure if stores are open, but I need some weather stripping for the air conditioners so maybe I'll do that tomorrow. Otherwise, gonna actually relax for a bit.

I love productive weekends. So much more satisfying.

Playing an instrument. Thank you I will do art or meditate instead if I am up late from now on. And I have not tried etsy yet.

Don't lose her. Throw her away. I'm telling you this and you're going to ignore me, and later you will tell me I was right.
She's going to use you, she's going to make you feel like shit to make her feel better. You eventually won't be able to handle her bs anymore and you'll break up with her if you're smart.

You're a good looking dude and super kind, you can find someone who doesn't treat you like shit.

haha I used to eat them in primary school too. Strange taste but not bad. You can buy "prepared" bugs now, stuff like cricket flour and dried/roasted bugs with flavourings. When you think about it, eating mammals is kind of weird/disgusting (that's so funny, right now as I'm typing this, my crickets showed up! the delivery guy had a chuckle haha). Anyway but yeah we're just kind of accustomed to eating animal flesh, so it seems normal. I find it hard to justify now, though. Especially with factory farming and stuff.... it's just horrible to think I'm contributing to suffering of animals.

I have a pest problem too Zhaylin. A tiny little mouse. I have two cats and they are effing useless! haha They stake out the kitchen all night (it went in a gap under the drawers) and they cannot get it! They can't even do the one thing their species is useful for! Bah....

Rant: A girl who blocked me on Facebook years ago seems so invested in icebreaker conversations to see if I still remember her. Yes, I remember you, but you blocked me over something trivial like not knowing what a type of emoticon I was using. Like, this isn't something to be foaming in the mouth over, but you're already married (I think?) and have a family; you have every right to just block me off not just on social media, but at work as well because I completely understand that a certain emoticon that was completely harmless just gets to you and grinds your gears, I totally understand. But don't pretend that you want to reconcile what little we had anyway, hahahaha.

But stepping outside of that, she's a good co-worker in general, and she's picking up on things especially when she had to shift her mentality completely for another industry. But going back in, just please put up a persona that you don't know me instead of trying to see if I still remember you. She probably doesn't even remember that she blocked me, which makes it even more awkward. Whatever, it's not a big deal. It's just too funny, and yet a hit-in-the-gut type of feeling. I know she's trying to see if I can be that crutch to get her up faster, but no. Just shine in your own persona as that's already influential to others in the first place! No need to be Machiavellian about it. This job doesn't really require that, really.

lol, Tommo. I'd send you some of my cats if I could. They are hunting machines. If it's a tiny field mouse, I wouldn't mind sharing my space with it. But the house mouse is too big for my comfort. And forget rats Those things are vicious and fearless. You could always get one of those humane traps and bait it with peanut butter (or you could do the same the old fashioned murderous route).
I was in bed today and saw a piss ant crawling across my iPad charging cord. I popped it in my mouth and *blec* I recalled hubby telling me they're supposed to taste a little peppery. But I've eaten about a dozen of the buggers so far and they've tasted like absolutely nothing. Then I remembered that I sprayed poison on the box. Serves me right. Strangely enough, the poison kind of tasted like my ejuice. I wonder if there's nicotine in DEET

Jojo's still sick. Finally googled it tonight. Sounds like she has Feline Chlamydiosis (cat flu with high chance of turning into pnumonia). She sometimes has a rattle in her chest. I've expected her to die for weeks now. But nope. She's a fighter and she SEEMS like she's getting a wee better. The illness can last 4-6 weeks after treatment begins. Have no idea how long it takes to naturally run its course (if you survive that is). I suspect it CAN naturally exhaust itself. The cats have had various degrees of the illness since we first had cats 16 years ago. Most of the cats recover after a few weeks. Most of the kittens, however, don't make it.
I REALLY wish someone would just swoop into my life and take all the blasted animals with the promise of good homes. I wish people would stop dumping their pets and that I would stop feeding them and causing them to stick around.

In other news, Kierra attacked another oppossum last night. She went into the girls room at 2AM and barked in my daughters face until she got up to let the dog out. As soon as dear daughter opened the door, the dog attacked. Seriously, what the heck does she have against them? The cats don't care at all. They all just chill together on the porch. My daughter yelled at the dog to knock it off and get inside. And, once again, the dog exercised control and did as she was told. The poor possum played dead for 30 minutes afterwards. Which reminds me... I need to vaccinate her against rabies. She's overdue. I guess I'll go to the Farm store next week.

In good news, my son is FINALLY going to be done with his counseling. Next month is going to cost me $70. though ($30. for individual counseling $40. for group). Then I'll be friggin DONE!!!!!!!!!! I told him he better not say anything questionable and screw it up

Also, my knee is still swollen and my legs are aching as bad as ever. Last night I slept with my legs in a relaxed yoga pose (whatever that's called lol) and bent over my pillows. I hardly notice the ache when I'm awake and sitting. Sleeping has become close to impossible though. I am reaching my wits end. My gabapentin, tylenol and ibuprofen don't seem to do a thing.
I see the ortho doc in September if I make it that long.

New rant: Stubborn Yellow Jacket (hornet/whatever it is).
I've gotten one in my room every day this week. They usually brain themselves on my overhead light and land on my PC. I set a fly swatter beside them, they step on and I then take them outside. Problem solved. No one had to die.
Today, I'm sure, is not going to be one of those days. He hasn't dazed himself, so I keep sticking my arm in the air, trying to get him to land on the swatter. When he does, he immediately leaves it WHen I get close to forcing the issue, he drops and I can't find him. Then we start all over again.
Thought, perhaps, there were stress hormones on the swatter, so I switched to large bamboo rod... then to a container lid He is NOT cooperating.

FINALLY!!!!! As I typed, he reappeared. He finally got onto the rod. Before he could get outside, though, he flew off. SO- he's still in the house, but at least he's no longer in my room and I can now take a nap lol

It’s hilarious when people question if I’m the brother of someone. First, it was a banker that I knew from another section that transferred where I’m nearby, and now, it’s that cougar that was contemplating this as well. She lured me where there wasn’t much activity, and tried to preface the conversation for me to help her out, and just randomly asked how I lost the weight. I told her about the video I made, and then we go on and on, and she’s asking way too much information about me.

I know she likes me, but not to where she’s demanding this like she’s entitled to it. I still went with it anyway because from previous experiences, it’s best not to get them irritated enough to where they have a grudge match against you. It’s like she’s filling out a mental questionnaire, and then she starts talking about how I looked older, and the body of a full figured male when I was bulkier. Like what???? Maybe she’s into chubby guys, I don’t know, but I don’t think I was “full figured” then. I should’ve showed her the before pictures to really see if that was the case. Maybe she has her own lens of what’s full figured, but I think it’s convoluted to how she thinks the older the person gets, the wider they get for both angles, which is kind of odd. Figuratively speaking, I get it, but it's just really weird that she she's steeled herself into that logic.

But, I realized she was just structuring that to get my age, but still went with it. I was showing her some of the stuff I would be eating naturally, and managed to get her to pick at least one of them. It was just so cute to see the slight awkwardness they exhibit when I mentioned these things, and wondering if this stuff would taste good at all. She’s trying her best while trying to find some White Castle, Cheese puffs, and the guilt trip with the ice cream under the guise of believing she won’t get anything else that might be unhealthy for her. I told her that I would help her out after she watched the video if she had any questions, and to come to me whenever she sees me, I guess. Should’ve taken the action to just ask her name, but I’m afraid of older women now doing that for some odd reason even though I’m appreciative that they don’t beat around the bush; it’s on the tip of my tongue.

Oh right. You live in a neighborhood that’s clearly for rich people, and you’re shopping for other guys while whatever your husband does isn’t satiating things for you. But, she looks like she’s single, but I just don’t know. The ones that try to cover it up with the relationship thing are the most obvious, and easiest to avoid thankfully, but she’s not really exhibiting that. They say that helping a girl get the weight off during a relationship would change the dynamic for the better, but I hardly think that’s the case since human nature is so subjective. Anyone can shift their compass of confidence elsewhere, and turn the accomplishment into an obligation to sustain a relationship in the first place. Makes me wonder if I should just go for people who have a fresh pair of eyes instead to avoid that emotional turbulence with equilibrium, and what have you.

What’s funny is that two other women were looking at me funny while I was trying to talk to her. They probably thought I was flirting with her, when it was the other way around. One of them, after the random encounter was over, started asking me about her. She thought I knew her personally, and then I realized that she’s actually being concerned that someone else likes me. It’s adorable, but creepy because it was like a SADKHFASFAS in your face type of scary. She states that she had to know me personally for me to talk to her like that. But no, there’s no experiential context that I had with her more than I had with you; which is barely anything, lol. The only difference is that I can be more open with her than with you since she’s not in the same field that they have me managing; she’s not even in any of the fields in general. I really hate it when down-to-earth women are where I'm working at, and I can't go further with them due to the policy. Shit.

Ramble ramble ramble

But, I can’t worry about that just yet. I can’t seem to get any rest lately. I do get sleep, but when I try to be productive, and getting into that spirited disposition, I keep wanting to put stuff off. I know that by doing things, I will stick to it until I really need to stop getting spirited, but man, one problem after another. Usually, it’s just a periodic thing that’s spread out, but I can’t seem to get a word in edgewise anymore. I think I’m pacing myself too fast, or believing I am under the guise of realizing that I’m really taking it too easy to where I’m in circumstances that compel me to not be so complacent. I noticed that for some of the things I’m doing, I embrace the process, but the more I objectify it, and my experience in it, I kind of worry if I would lose the novelty, or burn out again.


Ramble ramble

Anyway, got overtime, and I’m not going to get in trouble for it. I rarely reach close to overtime anyway, but my boss said it’s okay since some things came up. Although the extra cash is nice, it’s really just to settle a payment I had with a car I bought recently. Will have to go to a section I worked at before soon that suggested I grow a pair when managing, and when I did with seeing a better section with more opportunities, they tried to grab me to the floor before I could make it out alive. They pretend they’re nice to me, or maybe I’m overhyping that they’re actually being pretentious, and maybe they resent what they suggested, but like my boss said, it’s just a person trying to find chances, and growing. I’m really lucky to be around that guy, especially when I only pissed him off once, but he always has that unconditional positive regard. Maybe that’s why they keep him here for so long. I noticed him, and the other boss sent me a shout-out, which is quite a surprise since I thought they had bigger things to worry about. But hey, I’ll take it as no news is good news.

Link, reading your posts (and similar ones by others) makes me VERY grateful I'm not on the dating scene. Everything's so darned confusing
I'm also grateful that I'm a hermit with only an internet presence. I'm very friendly and open. People tend to take that the wrong way.

Grats on the overtime

My rant is that my knee is bothering me again. It actually felt okay for these last couple of days. But I've been walking more and I guess that's enough to bother it At least the limp hasn't returned yet!!

Rave: I went to brunch with hubby and his daughter. Waking up was darn near impossible, but I'm glad I did. I even feel I ate my $17. worth.
Rant-ish: Went to bed at 8PM last night. COuldn't sleep. Got up around midnight and ate some cottage cheese with peach stuff (those 3.5 oz. containers you mix together). I felt ill until 5AM, when I finally managed to sleep... until 9:45.

Rant-ish: meh. I'm just not feeling Warcraft like I used to. But I bought 2 months worth of time so I feel guilty when I don't play lol. I think I'll get back into Everquest 2 when my WoW time expires. I like building and creating things. Killing, hunting, gathering... all that's fine. But it's more than fine- it's perfection- when I can USE those things to make other things (other than armor, weapons, potions).

For now, I think a nap is calling...

Have you RRCCers ever considered coming to chat into our CHAT?

Grandfather's recovering in the hospital from falling and cracking his skull. I went to see him today, he was somewhat awake but not quite. Prayers sent, so... There's that.

I don't mind mice either, it was really tiny and so cute. However it chewed through the dishwasher
drainage hose, and would probably do the same to the wires where it was hiding.
I dunno where it went now though, haven't seen it lol

I also don't really get the "peppery" thing. They taste acidic to me, that's about it.

I always feel so left out in there xD It's like an entirely different group of people!
RRCC peeps are my homies

Rave: I finally have a true friend! I do have one other, but I barely see him anymore.
This new friend made me realise what actual friends are like. I can't believe I've been wasting
my time trying to fit in with people I don't fit in with. I mean, I told a lot of crappy friends
to fuck off, but I still spent a lot of time with people, or trying to talk to people, who I just have nothing
in common with and we just don't "work" together properly. It's so damn pointless.

Anyway yeah, I just feel so excited to see her (and not in a love-y way at all), it's just great to catch up etc.
I never really got how people were SO EXCITED to see their friends and like instantly get happy etc.
I always thought they were just being overdramatic and dumb. But I get it now.

I sound so lame probably, but oh well.

Rant: I have THREE bloody weeks of a placement where I'm essentially going to do nothing but observing.
God I hate my uni.... Would've been so much more useful to have more time in the prison hospital.
And the nurse there that I was with was amazing, in every way Super smart (most nurses are dumb af, tbh),
super hot, insightful....
Now instead of more of that I have a friggin useless placement for three weeks. FML.

Well now he died (unless suddenly he comes back to life since I've heard of that happening sometimes) and if it's still that way that book I suggested of his truck driving days (literally 1940s-2005 or so) was never written... I merely have some things we talked of. I don't want to kill myself in regrets and "Should haves" though. Ah what the barnacles, what else is there to say but "God Bless".

100Volts. So sorry for your loss!! Maybe you could write his book for him, if you remember enough details from stories he told.
Hope you heal quickly. linger on the good memories. Regrets are toxic.

Gab, my brain doesn't work fast enough for chat. I'm not quick enough or witty enough (I'm the person who "gets" the joke an hour after it's said... and the one who thinks of "come-backs" a week later ) Thanks for the offer though

Hope you find that mouse before it does too much damage, Tommo. And grats on finding a true friend. I don't remember what having one is like. My hubby fits that mold for me.

Rave: hubby was cute earlier. We finally found our way to Krogers and he was determined to tell off the phamacist who didn't want to fill that script because it's outside of hubby's specialty. We were there looking for yogurt (which our Walmart suddenly stopped carrying ). When we struck out, we made our way to the pharmacy. He told me he'd meet me at the car. I asked him if he didn't want me to witness his tirade and he smiled and said "something like that."
I would like to think he was doing something noble by excusing me.
In truth, he likely didn't want me to play his conscience. I tell him when he's being a jerk and an asshole I tell him, all the time, to "be nice". He didn't want to be nice though. He wanted to give her a piece of his mind and didn't want me getting in the way of that lol.
Turns out, the lady wasn't working, so he spoke to her supervisor.

Rant: Walmart no longer carries out yogurt. The Walmart in the next town is phasing it out as well We live on the Chobani Indulgent Banana and Dark Chocolate. All their carrying now are the nasty "flips" and standard 'fruit on the bottom". I went to Chobani's web page and they don't say anything about discontinuing it. who knows.

Rant-ish: Finally went to the doctor yesterday. I was told *drum roll please* to rest, elevate, and ice it The Doctor thinks it's likely a torn ligament and he gave me an ace bandage type wrap to wear and called in a script for an NSAID. He told me to comeback if it's not improved in 2 weeks. I also asked about the lump under my armpit and he agrees it's likely just a fatty deposit or a swollen lymph node. Again, he told me to return if it got bigger or started to feel sore.
Which is why I didn't want to waste money going. I'm fairly good at diagnosing myself.

rant: But I'm sleeping TERRIBLY. I don't see the ortho Doc until September. Something has got to give with my legs. In my desperation, I saw the doctor, knowing full well what he'd say

Rave: I'm loving Ark. Been watching a lot of YouTube tutorials.
Speaking of which, time to get back to the game

Have a great day, DV.

There's enough for a few paragraphs, but unless I start going through it with relatives it's not going to be much for a full chapter - in my mind at least. And thanks. I'm not really bothering myself with regrets, I mean what's the point with it when I could just be doing something else. It's not jerky to enjoy the moment even as it (sadly in a way since I didn't do all that) is.

I may work on the 1941 Dodge truck he had in his honor though. It hasn't been really driven for 43+ years, I don't expect to really drive it either but it would be nice in a way.

100Volts. I'm so sorry for your loss!!

Rant: My neighbour and I were almost crushed by a falling tree, this past Thursday. I remember that I yelled, "Look out!!" The wind was pretty bad and when fell, it crashed into their chicken Coup.  We are okay! I don't the some of the chickens made it. Other than that, I've very busy, lately. Last night I had a dream about what happen. I can still hear the sound of the tree falling.

It was Thursday when Pap died too, some time around 2 P.M. EST. I was working on the car at the time though I was indeed praying.

Oh and as for the tree bit, we have something in common. About 20 years ago I was walking in the yard and then suddenly a gigantic (considering my size, I was maybe 4 years old) tree limb (well, it was more like a wishbone type of "multiple limb" limb... Am I saying this clearly enough?) fell behind me. I didn't get scared or anything of the sort though, it just happened and I looked at it.

It was 7 years ago today that a great friend was lost. I don't know why it's so difficult this time. I miss ya Phil.

Well, I guess I'll try to lighten to mood here a bit.

So, today was my last day of school. Maybe that fact will settle in more tomorrow morning when I'm sober and realize I don't have to drive out to the campus anymore, but yea; that's pretty crazy. We went to a bar after class and had some drinks, then on the way home I said, "Fuck it," and stopped in the local bar to have two more beers and some takeout. I haven't started my new position yet, but hopefully within the next 1-2 months my replacement will be picked and trained and I'll get transferred. Then no more 3rd shift. Ever. Maybe. But at least not now. I'll be training on 1st shift, then working 2nd shift. I could easily get 1st shift (unless I absolutely suck at the job) but I really don't mind 2nd. I just don't know what I'm going to do with all my free time now.
