I don't want to derail that thread so much with arguing, so i stopped. But i told him that he can send me a private message if he really wants to argue, but he doesn't care, lol.

Anyway, i think i'll just stop being an admin... DV is much cooler than our site anyway... I'll just stay here...

Suena, enjoy that kitten (As if I need to tell you lol)

LittleZoe, people like that get on my very last nerve. I stop responding to them pretty quickly as they seem completely uninterested in what anyone else has to say.

I saw my p-doc... they forgot to schedule me last time (I interrupted the process when I remembered I wanted a script for lab work). But they squeezed me in anyhow.
Even though *I* haven't gotten my lab results, my p-doc did. My BUN is 5 (recommended 7-18) which is related to Protein. My Total Protein was barely off at 6.3 (recommended 6.4-8.2)
What what has me most interested is my T4, Free results. It's the thyroid test. My numbers are at .42 (recommended .76-1.46)

So, now I need to find a family doctor. Those low numbers could explain my fluid retention as well as (and most importantly to me) my obscenely high fatigue and weight gain.

Everything else was perfect. But I think it's a good thing that I take supplements. My Calcium and Potassium are *just* on the good side.
Then there's my Sodium which is 2 points off from being high.

Unfortunately, my Cholesterol wasn't taken (at least not in any form I recognize in all the abbreviations lol).

My rant is that I have "mold in my nose" I blew my nose too hard right before heading out for my appointment. Ugh. For how many hours am I going to have to put up with this?

My patience is wearing thin. I have little tolerance for immaturity and exclusivity. Granted, I'm also a few years older than most of my friends, I'm more mature than them, and I have never been bullied or ostracized. I realize it is difficult for me to relate. My college friends are mostly a group of outcasts that banded together, many of them had bad experiences in high school or middle school.

Last year I was the president of the Japanese club my friends and I belonged to, and I always tried to welcome people and invite them to chat with me. As an awkward and shy individual, I know how difficult it can be to make friends. Yet for as long as I've known this club, each year half the group will gang up and ostracize one or two people who don't fit in, chasing these kids out of the club/social circle. I'm aware that an individual doesn't need to like everyone, but folks should be civil.

Recently, one individual has been exceptionally immature and exclusive. Within the club he's been making an in-group and an out-group, more people have been teased, and there have been more complaints about this kid.

I know that some folks who have been teased and ostracized turn around and bully others when given the opportunity. It's their way of insuring that they'll fit in with the group and not be the lowest in the hierarchy. Yet I detest this mindset. It's an immature way to cope with life and unhappy circumstances. It's perpetuating a sad cycle.

It angers me to keep hearing about it. I try to be a voice of reason, but what I say doesn't matter. The kids need to learn their own lessons. College isn't high school. These children need to start growing up.

Daijoubu desu!

Why is it that when children ask questions, regardless of what they're asking for, the tone in their voice just makes you cringe and think, "What do they want NOW?!"

Annoyed at this pattern I see: If I lay on my bed wishing to be ready for sleep, I can't sleep for ages. But, if I just lay on my bed for, say, comfort... I fall asleep all of a sudden. >_>

You really do have to get out of your own way to sleep. But I can't self-deceive.

Ew.

I hate it when my boyfriend's 15 year old daughter asks me "Where's daddyyyyyyyyyyyy?" or she says "Daddyyyyyyyyyy? Um....um. Uhhhhhhh. Ummmm... hehe I forgot." But really she didn't forget, she's just prefacing a request. I want to tell her so bad "If you want something from your daddyyyyyyyy, don't call him daddyyyyyyyy. He's actually one of those dad's who doesn't respond well to little girl whining. Just say 'Dad, I need a favor please, when you have the time.' "

My son only says "Mommyyyyy" when he can't find me in a store. The rest of the time it's just "Mom." And I never had to tell him that. He's 8 and figured out on his own that whining doesn't get the best results from me.

I still have the smell of mold in my nose, my toes still ache, and my hubby wants me to see a specialist, instead of just any 'ole Doctor, about my Thyroid test results.
Which means never lol

That man is so silly sometimes. I told him, unless it's invasive, I really don't care [who the doctor is]. I'm sure even our local Doctors could handle a simple biopsy IF it even came to that. Anything more than that and I would definitely agree with him. It would be nice to GET to that point of knowing that first though.
Ah well... I guess I can just keep popping stimulants lol.

I didn't get my essay for To Kill a Mockingbird graded while everyone else has a grade.


I'm gonna flip my English teacher's tables over.

I'm not drunk enough, I texted the one person I said I'd never text again, I keep seeing her full name on Facebook, which changed since she got married.

I am not a happy man at the moment.

marriage means very little from what i've seen in today's world, but if you love her, then all you need to worry about is if she's happy, and only if it doesn't affect her relationship. i feel your pain.

I do care if she's happy, which is why I told her to stay with him a few times because of some stupid fighting. That doesn't help thought.

i don't mean to sound cliche or anything, but it sounds like one of those situations where you need to let it go for a while, because she might come running. be a good friend!

I have tried letting go... several times now.

ok listen. what does your gut tell you? that she'll be there for you when things get tough; that she's truly head-over-heels for this guy; or is she confused and needing a little guidance from an old friend? from my perspective it's definitely a delicate situation, but dude, you're emotionally attached to someone that is clearly emotionally unavailable for whatever reason... does she even live near you?

OldSparta. Love sucks when it's bad. I hope your heart heals quickly.


I'm ranting AND raving because I popped my right index finger earlier. A couple hours later, I could barely move it because it's so stiff and sore. So I started messaging it and looking at it and the knuckle looks absolutely weird.
My knuckles have always been very bony, but across the one I hurt are 2 raised "whitish" raises. Then I started flexing it and watching the bone in my hand move in response. Then I called my son into my room to show him.
THEN I looked at the index finger of my left hand and it looks even more deformed lol

Now I'm trying to figure out if the lumps are muscle/veins or the actual knuckle.
I don't know how I never noticed before but my knuckles are grossly cool. It's like skin stretched over bone

Now, all of y'all have to look at your knuckles and tell me what you see

Other than that, I'm fighting sleep. I slept all freagin day and I don't want to go back to bed- especially with a storm coming our way.

I hate antibiotics. The side effects are bothersome, and annoying at best. Sure, I am glad my respiratory infection is going away but I'm uncomfortable in the meantime.

God, I sound whiny, and I feel bad for even just mentioning this.

I just want to feel better already. Not a little better...all better!

Get better soon Melanie!
You're not whiny, you're human.
