Thread: Rant and Rave, Cry and Complain

I'm too tired tonight to start another thread.

So, Tommo, I looked over that list thoroughly.

Before I say this last thing on the subject, I'd like to mention that my argument was not against the many benefits of marijuana, which I have seen firsthand, but that it was naive to think SMOKING a substance (pot) which delivers particulate matter to the lungs, has absolutely no harmful effects on the body, particularly lung cells.

The vast majority of the links in that list are to pro-marijuana reform groups, and even those links and case studies were rarely on smoked cannabis. The links I found that mentioned lung function, asthma, COPD, and other bronchial effects, were very clear that smoking marijuana can lead to various levels of disfunction in lung cells, impairment of lung function in both short and long-term use, and the potential for cancerous and pre-cancerous growths in lung and oral tissue despite the general inhibition of cancer cells by marijuana. The information I mention can be found on the link page you posted from research institutions, medical journals, and government and non-government health sites.

If you wish, I will retract the source you mentioned from my post. Even doing so, it still leaves plenty of credible sources that back up my statement.

Again, the point of my statements were not to downplay the many thousands (if not more) potential benefits of marijuana or synthetic cannabinoids but to argue against the statement that smoking marijuana was completely harmless. My statement is backed up by both pro and anti marijuana researchers the world over.

The poem I've been writing for the last month. Apparently vanished, I incorrectly copied my old hard drive while putting in the new one. Fuck. A bunch of other shit vanished too, but that was the most important.

My complaint is that I was off my computer pretty much all day and now I come back to a ridiculous amount of updated threads and new posts to read. T-T And I'm so tired and so baked.... I'll regret it even more tomorrow when I have even more things to catch up on, but I need to just hit the sack. I know I was in a conversation or two here and there, I'll come back and see if they're still going in the morning. Goodnight DV.

I have to unsubscribe from this thread because jeez you people post a lot and there's no way I'm reading even half of that.

I'm complaining about all this complaining

Women who like me, but they're in a relationship. WTF, I'll never understand that....but whatever.

Can't worry about those people....just sit back and wait till it shows up on reruns and they catch on....and randomly say "hey i like _____ now".

Spoken like a true burnt out ex-mod. I know you miss it.....send a pm when you're ready to get back on the squad for a few weeks.

lol Mark and Salty

I had myself a good cry as I tried to sleep, but the post nasal drip gave me monstrous heartburn so I'm still awake
I made the mistake of looking up my step-mom on FB. She posted a LOT of pics of dad. He was only about 61 years old but he looked in his 80's. I imagine Cancer killed him. I wish I had been there for him

The good news is that Minipress no longer makes me feel like passing out when I take it. I took it in bed, as usual, but I gave up on sleep after just 10 minutes and I feel just fine moving around.

I also talked to my mom earlier and she wasn't rude as I had feared. Toward the end of the conversation I asked if she and I were "good". She said yeah. We talked for 20 minutes. I called my brother by accident before calling her and he sounds well.

I can't wait for my p-doc appointment on Wednesday. I'm going to ask him if he wants the good (me working on quitting smoking), the bad (me cutting), the sad (my dad passing), or the weird (my sons transgenderness- weird only because it was so unexpected). I'll actually have something to talk about this week!

What did you do with the old hard drive?

My rant is that I was getting ready to go out tonight, got to finish work early, was just about to leave and thought "I better check the address" so I went on facebook to check the event page thing and I realise it says 18th of Feb. FUCK!!!!!!!........
Seriously what the fuck lol Fuck my brain.

So since I was almost ready to go anyway I just burned around the neighbourhood on my motorbike for a while to let off some steam lol

You.. might be able to get it back. it's a slim chance, but never know.

A new pic of the glasses, sure xD not me with them D:

Well, the weed conversation kind of developed and dropped off so I guess I won't really add too much there. I'll just say this. You can look at the lab tests that those sources talk about and anything you want, but it doesn't outweigh the overwhelming evidence. There are NEVER reports of lung disease from weed. If it was an actual, legitimate concern, we would have figured it out by now. And furthermore, those sources are all based on smoking weed, which not everyone does. A pretty large amount of people eat or vaporize it instead, which totally takes out the 'inhaling smoke' factor.

So, I've decided that tomorrow night I will make margaritas with the tequila that Alyzarin kindly forced me to buy. Maybe some good will come of it. I've never before attempted to make a drink.

Ooh, margaritas are fun. Maybe I'll try to make some of my own.

That really sucks though. I hope you can get it back, like OldSparta says.

I searched for him until my early 20's when I finally located a relative who put us in touch with each other. We had a great relationship for about 3 years after I moved to WV, but then I moved to another town and neither of us were phone people.
His wife contacted my hubby's answering service, asking them to have me call her. Hubby worried it was something to do with my brother, so he called her and they spoke for a long time... he told me the news.
I'm going to call her tomorrow. I'll probably call my mom shortly and let her know (not that she'd care).

I'm so sorry Zhay. It really sucks to lose a family member, even if you weren't amazingly close to them. I hope you can get to feeling better soon.

Maybe this is why some people are burnt out haha

Removed the files from it because I thought I'd copied them over to the new one (even emptied the recycle bin) but it's still in my computer.

Maybe.
You've just reminded me of a dream I had last night in which I was making a program that accessed random memory locations scanning for English text or something.

Thanks and, yeah, I was an idiot last night. A guy from my class wanted me to play Minecraft with him. I'd been drinking a bit of cider, planning to get a buzzed, but to build my nerves up I immediately started chugging like 4 bottles and got completely drunk. There was hardly any hangover but I wish I hadn't. I'll probably want to drink again by tonight anyway.

I have been reading everything in this thread and people have my sympathies, I just haven't been responding to it much.

You can use a program like recover my files to get any of your files that were accidently deleted. But you have to do it fairly soon. If you're still up for drinking tonight, I can walk you through it

I hope so because I've been holding off on drinking for it all week!

Of course I'm still up for it, I even rejected my parents' invitation out for dinner (which is good because they're still going and it means I don't have to suffer through their questions about why I'm making margaritas when I drank last night).

It's my old hard drive though, which I'm not writing any new files to, so it doesn't need to be done soon, does it? Or am I thinking of this entirely wrong?

Same.... here....

The sooner the better. I have the program here, I can just drop it in my dropbox or email it to you. It just takes a while to run.

I really hope you can get you info back, Dianeva. I've lost so many of my creative endeavors that part of me has held on to writers block for so many years out of fear of losing more.

I am having a great day. But in the back of my mind, the Drill Sergeant is yelling at me, asking why I'm so happy when I've just received bad news. It should be disrespectful to feel as happy as I do right now. I tell ole' Sarge to go jump off a bridge

It's currently 17 degrees outside but it "feels like 5". So I brought the boys inside. Snuffanuff proceeded to jump out of my sons window (don't ask me why the heck it's open- he's weird). I ignored him and went to the store. Came back and he was happy to go inside, until his dad bolted outside while I juggled with the stuff I carried I shook the food bag and Snuffanuff came running back. Rocky still isn't back yet. He better not stumble across another trap!

My son's going to be ticked at me when he wakes up. All he asked for were 2 2 liters of soda = $3. and change. But I had to get sausages for the dogs to hold them over until tomorrow. I got myself 2 packs of smokes, a fountain drink, 2 side salads and a single stacker. I did get him a 44 oz fountain drink of Diet 'Dew. He has food. We also have bottled water, so he can suck it up.
The food I bought myself will keep me until tomorrow evening.

Can I not download it from a website? I'm not saying I don't trust you but.... well, maybe I'm paranoid.

Yes, yes, me too.

Lol, yes you can.

I just finished watching 50/50, so much crying.

I was in a great mood for two seconds after waking up from a nap I just took, because I remembered 6 dreams over the course of last night and that nap. Then I remembered that at bowling today, which my "best friend" and boyfriend both go to with me, my friend wouldn't stop saying things to me like "he's still ugly" and "he's so weird" and stuff like that. It's been happening for a while now and I told her before to stop doing it; her reason was that she "didn't like his personality". Now, it's "because the relationship isn't good". She claims that "he never asks me where or how I am, and doesn't want to know", and things like that. Her boyfriend, on the other hand, are glued to each other and see each other every day, but I have homework and shit to do; I don't have time to see him more than twice a week right now.

I got really depressed halfway through bowling even though I shouldn't have... But I knew it was because (more than anything else) that I was tired from this week, stressed over a fuckload of homework, and I still have to work on a graduation video, graphic designs for grad hoodies, and all this other wonderful stuff on top of that!

I left bowling without saying anything to my boyfriend, and I shouted at my best friend when she became very insistent that our relationship "sucks". I was fine with the way it is, it's not bad - there are different types of relationships, and ours is that we just don't see each other that often because we both have a commitment to school. But I'm starting to think about her comments about how he doesn't really ask how I am and stuff... I don't know... I know I shouldn't be doing that, but...

I was going to see a movie with my BF later tonight, but now I don't have the energy. When I got back from bowling, I took that nap, which lasted 4 hours. ;.;

Now my friend is mad at me, and my BF is probably wondering where I am but I didn't want to text him when I got back, I just slept.

There are just too many hugs to give out to all you guys but I love you all

You're all so awesome and I wish I could help you all but all I can do is send you emoticons of hugs so I hope that's enough

So my turn to gripe, I've had to come home for the weekend because my parents are divorcing and my dad is having an affair and is living with his lover on the same road as our house so my mum is devastated and my two younger sisters are having a hard time dealing with it, and ive spent the whole day comforting them so now i'm drinking a lot ( in case you can't tell from all the hugs) because they're all in bed. But I'm actually feeling Ok since you guys are here

Aly, Sushi, Patrick

I just watched CNN news clips and now I'm humdrum/sad-ish. I watched a bit about how Sows spend their entire lives in 2 foot wide (?) gestational crates. They can't even turn around. If pigs were dogs these factories would be prosecuted. It's no better than a puppy mill IMO.
BUT Hormel IS going to start getting rid of the crates and should be fully transitioned by 2018
I don't think I love bacon quite so much anymore...
