Thread: Rant and Rave, Cry and Complain

Told my ex where he could go today. After 2 years of just pretending I didn't hurt anymore and trying to move on I'm so glad I managed to shut that chapter of my life. Who knows, maybe we could have a conversation sometime and have no hard feelings but honestly, if I don't have to, I'm quite happy not having to bother

Congrats on that, Wishful. It's nice to be able to move on.

My university sucks. Their (why does that word look weird whether you spell it "their" or "thier"?) assignment instructions are so goddam vague and shitty.

Everyone ends up asking a million questions on the discussion boards and then they get annoyed that people ask the same question as someone else. Like we have time to sift through every question....

They also have this "self directed learning" idea, which is great if you do it right. But the teacher gets annoyed that we watch instruction videos in practice class. Says we should have already watched it. Bitch.... it's either self directed learning and we do what we need to do to learn, or you actually do something and demonstrate the procedures for us.

Can't wait till I'm done and working.

There is nothing fresh grilled zucchini from your garden! Yum!

all around.

My rant is that I'm leaving tonight for Early's Auction. I'll be gone until Saturday night, so that isn't so bad.
I took my computer to a shop today... got my car cleaned and I'm ozonating it now... girls washed all of my clothes yesterday and I have them folded and hung up now... helped hubby replace the bright light on the car (which was an absolute bitch to do and took at least an hour... we finally rotated the bulb and BAM- fixed right up )

I'm exhausted now. Going to play some Terraria before packing. Then I'll try to take a nap at some point because we'll leave at 2AM.

I'm hungyyy!!!!!!!! OnO

My infection came back, just great man . I went to the doctors again (for the fourth time in less than a month). It turns out that I got a different infection. So basically my previous doctor made the wrong diagnosis and that's why the meds didn't work. I was put on different meds now and apparently it should be better after two days, we're two days later and I'm still in so much pain. So now I'm gonna have to go back for the fifth time?? This is so depressing and annoying . I just wanna be healthy but of course this kind of shit only happens to me

I wanna bet that they're going to send me to the hospital to get it fully checked out. And school starts in like two weeks so I really need to get better soon

You fucking like a rabbit or something Crashy? Or is the infection unrelated to the thing you PM'd me about?

On a related note.... I swear I'm like the only person who doesn't get sick constantly. If I'm unlucky I'll be sick like once in 2 years.
Seems like every other day someone tells me they're sick.

Unfortunately it is related to my pm. I don't know why but it always takes a while before I get better. Like same thing with the flu or a bad cold, most people feel better after a week, or maybe two. But for me, it'll take twice as long smh

Get better soon, Crashyy.
My mom's been sick with something for several years. It started out with the flu shot. The doctors thought it was one thing, then another, then another I swear it's just a guessing game sometimes.

You're extremely fortunate, Tommo. I'm very jealous
I make myself sick, for the most part, so I have no right to complain overly much
I'm mostly sick from allergies.

Early's Auction, however, was the exception. I literally slept the ENTIRE time except to eat. I'd wake up, go to the restaurant, get back to the room and fall right back to sleep.
On Friday night, we ate at Montgomery Inn (famous for their ribs). I ate a ton of their onion straws, drank an Angry Orchard hard cider and ate Salmon over spinach. I ate one of hubby's cucumbers from his salad. Before the meal was over I was doubled over with pain. We got back to the hotel and were standing outside chatting with a couple and I squatted against the wall outside because I felt like I was having a vasal vagal (sp) reaction: very dizzy and nauseous.
I don't think I've ever slept so much, but I didn't feel a bit well.

I told hubby to remind me: never again shall I eat the onion straws or drink alcohol! Those kill my stomach.

I did discover, however, that I definitely sleep better on my desk than on a bed. One stretch of sleep lasted 7 hours (had to get up to pee ) and my fitbit said out of those 7 hours I was restless/awake for 3 hours Hubby said I was all over the bed (we get 2 beds). My legs would be in the air, then down; I would be on one side then the other; my legs would be back in the air

I am VERY glad to be home!!!!!!!

Just ruined my second solar keyboard FML. They're like $120 here. It's so good coz it's wireless and you don't need to charge batteries. But the first one I ruined because I didn't have my windows open for ages so it ran low, I put it in front of a lamp but it was a halogen lamp (super super hot) and the keyboard melted.

So I got a new one and just last night I spilled some water on it, maybe like 50mls, not a lot. And it's completely screwed.

UGEWGHWEGNWENWENNNN

I'm getting a washable keyboard next. Why isn't everything waterproof these days? The old keyboards could take anything thrown at them.

QFT bro. Fuck that shit, two years left.

So I quit smoking weed, I fixed my sleep cycle. I go to bed early, wake up early. I work out 5-7 times a week now, including stretching. Started reading books every day as well. Life is looking good at the moment, and it will get even better.

Tommo. $120. for a keyboard I get mine for under $20. But it's nothing special. It's not wireless or anything.

Way to go Athylus!

I picked up my computer earlier today The bill was $90.10 until I pulled out cash- then it was dropped to $85. even. The PS3 isn't ready yet and the kids are highly annoyed about it.
My computer needed the operating system redone (???) and they added some memory. I was still signed in to DV and my email when I got it up and running, so I guess the crash wasn't that fatal.

life is back to normal. Nothing special going on... which is just the way I like it

Hope everyone's having a great day.

Rant I have a bad case of the sniffles and I hurt my hand.

Laura Feel better soon.

My rant is that I'm awake. Thankfully, hubby and I don't have plans until 5PM, so he'll probably let me sleep. we're going out for Indian food with his daughter for his birthday.
Another rant is that I picked up the PS3 earlier today. The estimate was $25.-$35. It ended up costing $60. The guy who worked on it said he was amazed it hadn't caught on fire- it was THAT dust filled. He said it also looked as if someone had spilled soda on it at some point. It turned out to be a job and a half. I don't begrudge the payment in the least... but it's more money coming out of my allowance for longer.
The good news is that I get some slave labor out of the kids for my trouble

Time to lay down and hope sleep comes quickly.

I hurt my hand too.

3 days ago I was shopping in the city, walking along a busy city street to my bus stop. Suddenly I was moving forward but my feet stayed in one place, like timmmmberrr!!!!!. Thankfully I didn't bend my knees. My substantial torso took the full impact with the concrete so no pain.

My pretty face is inch from the concrete. Then I thankfully! realize that my hands had broken my fall.

Peoples feet hurry over to helo me. I look up (facing down). Women extend hands asking "Do you need help?" I say,

"I'll need a hand to get back up."

"Strong people"

Then, on my tummy I point to a (well dressed) strong looking man.

He say's in a gentle, caring voice,

"ok, now, roll onto your back and sit up"

I do that and he takes my left elbow while another gentleman takes my right hand.

Once vertical the big man says "are you dizzy" I say no! I got diabetic neuropathy. He says "Oh, you foot dragged"

I was happy that he knew what happened and said it so others could hear. So they wouldn't think I was DRUNK.

My right hand took the brunt of breaking my fall, cos it hurts. If it still hurts on Monday I'll see my Dr. But I dont think it will.


On Wednesday (about 2pm) I fell over without bending my knees, like this, (hahaha)

falling over

Published on Aug 14, 2013

Here are some videos of other things falling over:

So at work I have been driving the forklift for almost two months now. On Friday it's just me and a new guy that has about 4 hours experience. He is also hard of hearing. Trying to explain things on the radio and having to repeat myself. Meanwhile another guy says I sound like a mother and he would have bent me over and straightened me out if I talked like that to him because I am a "Rookie". Fuck you. I am stressed because I am a rookie and it doesn't help that I am training someone greener than green. That is all.

I dropped out of university and I haven't told my parents. For the past year, they think I've been going to class everyday when I've just been going to work. They will be expecting me to graduate with my degree so I will have to tell them sooner or later but it's been almost a year now and feel like it's too late to tell them :/

Nice. I fell off my schedule and I want to get it straightened out before school starts up again. What keeps screwing me over is that I want to go to sleep by 10:00 PM, but something always comes up. @(>_<)@

Tell them sooner rather than later. Sit down and plan out what you're going to say, prepare for the backlash, and then go tell them. Otherwise, it'll be harder to tell them later on and the reaction will be much worse. It's gonna suck but fuck it, you've got to own up to it.

Out of curiosity, why did you drop out of uni during your last year?

Yeah, it's your life, Rosetoast. You're folks might be disappointed and hang it over your head forever, but what else are they really going to do? Disown you? My step-daughter dropped out of medical school. My hubby's still (I hate to use the term but it seems to apply lol) "butt-hurt" about but that's it. She's still his daughter and he still loves her.

My rant is that my buddy Simon (cat) has been coming into my room lately. She's insane about it- rushing through the door when it's cracked; jumping on my end table and chair, being all around forceful about her entry. It was fine for a while. She'd just sleep on the end table and that was that. The last few days though, she's been migrating over to my bed. Ehh, didn't care for that, but that was okay too. Last night, I went to my bed to sleep (after kicking the cat and dog out of my room) and I stepped in something mushy. Thankfully I was wearing shoes because it was a huge pile of diahhrea.
After scrubbing my shoes and floor for 15 minutes, I finally went to sleep.
What the heck.
so now, she's banned and she's not happy about it in the least.

Otherwise, life is quiet and well.

So hubby and I are trying to have a baby. Today I got an evap line on the pregnancy test (which is sorta like a false positive), so lame. Such a letdown.

We've been trying for almost a year. Went to a fertility clinic, which health insurance barely covered so I had to pay like $2000. Then I got pregnant and the GYN visits were another $500, and then I had a miscarriage and all the hospital bills related to that were a little over $1000. All that money spent and nothing to show for it yet. Ugh.

Yes, international people, the US health system is as crappy and expensive as everyone says it is.

I moved in with my girlfriend. Much happier. Coming up with a song on my new electric guitar. Work is going good. And realizing it's time for me to stop talking and thinking and just do. Like if I want to be in a band or learn music better just do it. Also realizing I gotta follow through with my good intentions.

Ashikael So sorry about your loss and expenses! I hope you have success soon

Grats, Oneiroer

My only rant is that I had to live without internet for a couple of days. The internet wasn't working but I had to wait for hubby to see if it was on his end, ours or the companies. Not either of ours... the router then? So I went to the internet people today and they said "Oh, you were flagged for a DMCA, call this number" After many headaches and automated messages, I finally got a real person and it was cleared up right away. *whew*

One of the kids or someone jacking out wifi downloaded a Parks and Recreation episode.
I asked the lady about my website I use to watch things. she said if it's streaming, it shouldn't be a problem- only downloading gets us flagged.
so glad it was cleared up so easily.

Now I want a nap.

Just got out of the shower and heard a really loud whistling... "Oh, shit." I filled the tea kettle and set it on the stove with the plan of turning it on as soon as I got out of the shower. But 99% of the time when I set it on the stove, I turn the stove on right away (I usually don't shower when I wake up, but it's my day off). So I did that without even realizing.

Not a big deal, except that it's midnight and I took a pretty long shower... Sorry neighbors. But hey, I'm trying to move out in December so hopefully that works out.
