Thread: Rant and Rave, Cry and Complain

Talking about lucid dreaming with my friends would be so much easier if I didn't have so many dreams involving my dream guide.

I'm so excited to start my new job. I have wanted to work at this place for over 2 years now. Last time I interviewed there, I was just beat out. This time I had my choice of 2 positions! Yeehee: )Now the only problem is finishing the last few days at my current place. Hopefully I am out of there before one of our customers sues them. " Not my fault, Not my problem" I tried to warn them. 😒

Cruise control. It's a thing! It exists! Sometimes I want to just stick my head out the window and yell, "I"m using fucking cruise control you moron; either learn to use yours or just watch your damn speedometer!"

I hate the fact that I get stressed out about things which don't seem to bother other people. There's a work meeting tomorrow to sort out some issues between the teams. There going to be a lot of name-calling and blaming each other, and I've been losing sleep over it the entire weekend. I hate getting dragged into arguments and I tend to just listen and not argue back, mainly because I'm bad at thinking on my feet and need time to come up with a suitable reply. I am so jealous of people who can argue and win.

This "silent treatment" thing does such amazing wonders. For once in mine life, I've managed to get mine nagging sister to shut the hell up.

I haven't logged on this year and it makes me sad

Wahoo! I dont have bed bugs! In your face stupid renting company!

Well, it was not so bad. There were less people than expected and I was able to talk somewhat convincingly.

You've been missed, Wishful. Hope life has been treating you well

Oneiroer.

Anju, I know what you mean about needing time to come up with a reply and being jealous of others who can argue. I'll mull over conversations and arguments forever and kick myself in the butt when I come up with perfect retorts sometimes days afterward lol

My rant is my stomach and stupidity. I always WANT, say, a cheeseburger from Wendy's. Once I eat the bacon off it I'm done

.... Oh, dear God, forget everything I was about to say!
Dog had to go potty so I left this post. I came inside and Pumpkin needed her nose wiped. I wiped it and There was something IN her nose. It smelled like death and I knew it needed to come out. I eventually recruited her mom to wrap her in a towel and hold her while I extracted what turned out to be ???? a worm as long as the short side of a credit card. An inch? Inch and a half or more? It was dead and flat. She has one in her other nostril but she can't breath when we close her mouth and that worm is alive. Every time I touch it to pull it out, it retracts.
I have now seen it all. I'm used to botflies but this? I don't even know what THIS is. Time to consult the oracle...

**EDIT**
The worm looks a lot like http://metro.co.uk/2015/06/04/doctor...month-5229921/
brown/black, spiral, almost like a fat earth worm. I'm used to maggots and tape worms.
Gotta google some more. Mosquito larvae?

***EDIT***
Found it. It's called a Cuterebra.

seems they REALLY like Basil. Going to go to Wally-world to pick some up.

Rant: I'm getting fat. After all those years of eating so much junk food, it is happening . Guess I'm gonna have to go on a diet. Which is gonna be so hard considering pizza looks so freaking delicious . Exercising won't be a problem though. I just worked out for an hour and I felt so sweaty and gross but so refreshed and good afterwards.

Another rant is that my mum's in hospital again. She's had a check up at the doctors and they panicked and sent her to the hospital cos my mum wasn't feeling too well. And at the hospital they said it's normal to feel bad from time to time since she had a heart attack. So she's okay and will probably be back home tomorrow.

My infection is slowly getting better, but I keep getting rashes from these antibiotics and i'm not allowed to drink or even go outside because of the sun exposure which sucks.

But I'm so happy cos it looks like I'm gonna be able to fix my embarrassing problem on my own, thank god skin is so stretchable lmfao

Hey Zhaylin! I've missed everyone here too. Life has been busy and full of ups and downs. I've passed my driving test, gotten myself a good job, a steady relationship and finally upgraded to a Macbook air!!! (Always wanted one so no one tell me how awful they are I've had it since November and it's my favourite thing ever) But my dad's leaving his job and it's caused a lot of problems and my mum's continued being a dick and making me feel shitty. :') I've had some relapses but I'm finally getting over my addictions and I'm sorting my life out one step at a time and yaaaay. I also have an unconditional place at my closest university to study Forensic Science and I can't wait to start actually growing up and getting ready for having my own family (total life goals there) so whoooooo

EDIT - And if anyone can remember posts I made like, nearly a year and a half ago about meeting a guy at a party who was an AMAZING kisser and how I wanted to see him again? I'm still dating him and honestly couldn't be happier!

Crashyy.

Wishful. So great to hear life has taken such a turn for the better

Ugh... I went to Wal-mart and picked up some basil and a can of cat food as a treat for the patient. While backing out, someone else was backing out right behind me. I threw my car into drive but not fast enough. We bumped bumpers and he offered to exchange insurance but it's not worth the headache for some scuff marks. I REALLY need to learn to use my horn!!!!!!!!

Got home, swaddled the cat, tried the basil and the bug was definitely interested in it... but not enough to come out. He might be too fat to get out. I stabbed it with a needle a few times, but the little bugger would not cooperate. And Pumpkin finally had enough and I couldn't tolerate the death smell or the fleas so I let her go.
She REALLY likes being swaddled though. She was just chilling and sleeping until I got to work. I stopped to see a vet on the way to the store and it would cost the girls about $120. to treat the cat. Which isn't possible seeing as they're currently unemployed and the vet doesn't have a billing system.

Then I took a nap. Woke up, chilled in bed then my eldest came in extremely sick. He finally agreed to go to the hospital after he puked everywhere and felt no better. I waited with him for an hour before I started getting nauseous. I needed to eat, so I left him there. 2 1/2 hours later, he still hasn't called for a pick up. They were very busy tonight. His back was hurting- low and off to the side. No problems peeing- no burning or anything. He took some ibuprofen on an empty stomach which probably led him to barf.. then turned around and took 2 tylenols on an empty stomach. I wanted to tell him to sleep it off. BUT, he was clammy, sweaty and pale and diabetes/high blood pressure run in the family and he weighs a good 350-420 pounds. Then he became short of breath so I was glad when he finally agreed to go.

I've been feeling nauseous all day, but I wrote that off on dealing with the worms... and then watching YouTube of dewormings
Maybe the Wendy's we had for lunch was bad. He had chicken. I just ate the fries and bacon from the sandwich. The girls finished the burger and they seem to be okay, so who knows.

Another rant is a botfly landed on my arm. I was on my iPad and felt a tickle. Looked down and there he was. I flicked him off then saw him chilling on a paper towel I use to protect the top fan of my PC. I picked the paper towel up and took him outside. GAH! Do we have mice in the AC vents? Or did it venture in from the Stock Yard (we live close to a slaughter house).

**EDIT**
I broke down and called my son. They were giving him a catscan. wth? There was blood in his urine, so *I* think it's a kidney stone. Don't they give ultrasounds for those? they're giving him all sorts of tests. Hopefully, he's still on our insurance and it can pay for some of these tests they're running. If not, he'll be paying $5. a month for the rest of his life :/ So long as they take care of it and he gets better...

Glad it went well!

I am this person. It is an innate, non-controllable thing that I never take for granted. Phone calls always in with me winning, and meetings usually end with me looking better.

I should have been a lawyer.

That me too.... in my head.

Then it comes to IRL situations and I'm Anju.

Rant: I'm stuck with this f$%23 bitch again in one of my classes. We had a group essay last semester and that girl did basically nothing. I ended up picking up the slack and organising everything and making her change stuff.
In the class this semester we just randomly got in to groups. I ended up with these two girls and then I just see that girl pop out from behind a couple of other people. FML.
Another girl from the group last semester also has that biatch in a group this semester too. So we were both complaining to each other about it lol

Rave/Complain: That girl (the one I was complaining with about the other girl) is super cute. OMFG.
I've never seen anyone cuter. She's not insanely attractive, just cute as hell. Especially when she wears her tortoise shell style glasses. A/rfrrGHHGHHHHHH....
And the way she talks.... she's just so chill and funny. But yeah she has a bf so that's the complain part.

Tiresias. I'm so envious!

Tommo. Hope you survive the hassle :/ Once was bad enough, eh? lol At least the cutey relates. If nothing else, perhaps you'll get a good friend.

My son does, indeed, have a kidney stone. THey gave him some med to dialate his urethra so he can pass it more easily and they gave him Hydros and Motrin for the pain. Hopefully, it passes quickly.

Otherwise, I woke up with another kink in my back between my shoulders. GAH! That's happened 3 times or so this week. I discovered something cool though. i had my hands sort of clasped behind my head. My head was bent forward and my ear was tightly pressed just below my left wrist. I could hear my pulse loud and clear. When I'm driving in the car, I keep the radio volume at 10- loud enough to hear and sing along but quiet enough to talk to passengers. My pulse sounded slightly louder than that 10. Very, very cool lol

Time to find food. Have a great day, DVers.

**EDIT**
I have soda down to a science Er, at least, filling my cup. The girls went out a few minutes ago so I asked them to get me a refill. My cup is 64 ounces. I told Destinee: "Dump the left over in the yard. Rinse the cup and the straw in the sink at Sheetz. Only add ice up to * here*. Shoot out a little Coke in case some kid wiped his booggery nose on the dispenser. As you fill the cup, make sure it fizzes. If it doesn't, fill it with Pepsi instead." She brought it home and I have a piece of tapered paper towel I stick in a tiny hole in the lid "my fruit fly blocker". "Down to a science, I say"
She just rolled her eyes and laughed at me.
That is my rave: Simple silliness and a good drink

My rant is that I have a killer headache. I ate, took meds and caffeine and it's still persisting
I may end up going back to sleep if it keeps up. It'll make me extremely nauseous before much longer.

I dont know if you guys have ever heard of the secret movie and book. Im going to try to put it into practice. If it dosnt work at least i think i will be more happier. currently reading the book.

I have read the book and seen the movie. It did help me through depression and made me happier, though I didn't take enough effort to keep practising it afterwards.

An Australian comedy show did a parody of the secret https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvl8m0il2Oc 7 minutes, but funny if you have the time. Especially the first few minutes.

I think there's a place for positive thinking, but the secret takes it too far.

I'll have to look up the secret. Sounds interesting.

Nothing going on here today. Might go to lunch with hubby once his inspection is done. Medicare inspects hospitals and clinics every 3 years or so. Hubby got hit last year and again this year. It's more annoying than anything else.

I cannot eat slim jims at all any more. They send me to the toilet The one food I COULD eat has now turned against me Sheetz Cheeseburgers usually agree with me, but I don't always have $6. to spend on food every day.
A box of Slim Jims would last me 4-7 days for $3.00.

One of the kittens came into my room earlier and jumped onto my desk. I picked her up to set her back on the floor and she crapped everywhere
My bird is carrying on. Don't know what he's so unhappy about but he's getting on my last nerve.
And Miley failed to take the trash to the road today So, she's not allowed to ask me for anything until next Thursday.
Those are my rants for the day

My rave is that I've almost finished clearing out a mining shaft (?) in Minecraft. That place was huge. I've been working on it for 3 days.
Oh yeah, a lesser rant is that my skin disappeared. ?? I play as a hippy girl so I was shocked to see standard Steve last night. Don't know what happened to the skin. Might have to download it again?

Hope everyone's having a great day.

Skit was pretty funny.

I've always liked the Chasers, partially because I'm Australian I guess.

I saw The Secret, and if I remember right it focused too much on physical 'stuff'. Feeling and believing you are rich is good; being grateful for what you have and focusing on the positives and all that jazz. But believing you are rich in hopes of actually becoming rich (monetarily speaking) is kinda missing the entire point.

Darn! Insomnia again. I hate this. I just want to sleep. I have a long day tomorrow and again on Sunday. Hrrrr!
Rave....my astrology has been right on, I mean really accurate for a few weeks now. Pretty cool.

Edit: oh, and im really hungry!

Well, I guess I'm never seeing her again. That was a painful couple of days, as the chances of them showing up decreased, turning my feelings from hope to sadness... Surely, I have disproved The Secret.

Rant: I'm on ANOTHER dry spell.
Rave: My recall is getting much better.
