I thought we DID have a tattoo thread, though...

I found a tattoo thread here, but it's a pretty short thread. Surely dwellars have more than five tattoos between them?

i'm not gonna jack UTs thread so lemme just say i posted on that tattoo thread if yinz wanna see the newest finished product.

Ute, you got any cheap left handed guitars? A buddy wants to learn to play

Nothing left-handed at this time.

I'm considering building a section of website where we show what guitars and basses are available. So that non-ghetto people don't have to come to North Broad to find out.

I do love this thread.

Ut, you are a cool one. When that lady came in hollering and junk it would've made my blood boil and idda jumped over the counter to rip her hair-did off.

Yeah. But the problem is, I can't handle conflict, and it just all tenses me up and fucks with my day.

The slow decent into madness is really getting me down right now. I don't know how long I can take it. Every day I drive out of paradise, and into an assault of trash, madness, ignorance and desperation.

Sammy says people deal with this in different ways. One guy just wound up numb and would only answer yes or no to most things. One guy just became a relentless racist.

This is what happens to people who have to deal with other people at their worst on a daily basis. It's so stressful it generates its own PTSD. Those in the crucible have to find some way to deal with it (often not a healthy way), but eventually they all have to get out.

Exactly

the average time an RN spends in the ED is five years. That's all they can take. Same with psych nurses, etc. That's why the police flip out and beat people with sticks....why does humanity suck so bad?

I'm the same way. It's a big reason I can't deal with being in management.

gotta start meditating. Practice letting go.

"It is What It is"

the Tao of Pooh.

all that. sounds dumb but it helps.

That is absolutely true Tril... absolutely true, and yet it's the hardest thing to remember, in the moment.

When I'm strong, I feel like this is something I should try to press on with, and conquer in some way. Learn to handle without losing dignity or losing my head. Could it be this is what I was meant to do? Maybe it will strengthen some muscle inside me, some resolve, that I could use in the next chapter of my life.

I been wussy too long. And you can't be a wuss at the shop.
