What's upsetting you today? - Page 369

I took J to the airport (EWR) today; she's going on an Alaskan cruise with her family, to celebrate her mom. They paid for her ticket, so she only had to get airfare across the country. It's great for her, but I am alone here for the first time in years, which is going to be weird and a little sad for the week.

Not exactly alone, her kids will be here intermittently, which will also be weird without mom in place.

PARTY at UT's Woo Hoo! ! ! ! ! !

oh, sorry wrong thread.

Well you always have us for company.

Several things!

My girlfriend going to visit her dog, and family, in Canada, for a while... leaving me all alone in England! It's a horrible thing, leaving her at the airport, alone, then coming home to an empty house. (Since moving in together, this is the first time we've been apart. It's a very strange, sad feeling.)

The ever-growing realisation that mainstream music no longer requires any talent... not like it did, two decades ago.

Voices are more synthetic, than real, these days. "Glee" is the most recent proof of this.

And, of course, the growing state of the world in general... which I went into a little rant about, in a different thread.

How's it going UT?

Undertoad · 05-23-2010, 09:59 AM

It's sad at night, but during the day I have the sounds of son and granddaughter screaming at the top of their lungs to keep me occupied.

Cicero · 05-23-2010, 01:31 PM

Sounds...great? I am sure time will pass quite quickly under those circumstances. Mebbe? I am not really a "silver lining" person.
I give.....

At least you don't have a pinched bottom from using your "personal furniture" - that's not nothing, you know.

I am dealing with my client who is very intelligent and well educated but too stupid even to use a mac. Anything beyond "I just drag it onto the blue thing and it goes up" is too much to ask for.

What FTP client are you using? "I just drag it onto the blue thing and it goes up"
25 minutes to try and figure out why a doc that was uploaded was zipped as a .bin file that I cannot open up despite unzipping it with stuffit 2010 and power iso.

I'm sure there is a default setting at the bottom of this that compresses uploaded files bigger than such and such.

"Where would I find appleshare?"

Probably somewhere on your computer. Maybe use that nifty search feature you've got there.

Personal furniture - that reminds me of Soylent Green.

My sister is still sick, and its still upsetting. Went to her house to take her dinner, she couldn't open the door, she's in so much pain. There is good news (kinda). The arthritis specialist believes it is Rheumatoid Arthritis although she was negative for the Rheumatoid Factor, possibly (most likely) she has Adult Onset Still's Disease. She also has characteristics of spondyloarthritis. She is on meds now, I don't remember what all, most of it won't really be effective for a few more weeks, but they put her on a high dosage of Prednisone(steroid) which seems to be helping already. Some of the meds she is on will cause birth defects if she gets pregnant, we're not clear on whether or not she'll be able to have children, she had been planning on it. My mom has been crying a lot, praying (yeah like that's effective), trying to fit this into some "God has a purpose" and trying to come up with some miracle cure. She has also been really clingy to me. Which is slightly annoying, but I'm being tolerant. Of course I've been crying, but mostly to myself, the diagnosis could have been a lot worse. Mostly I've been trying to help my sis and parents best I can even though I've had to work a good amount of overtime.

My sis is only 24.

I have to get this part out of my system. So if offends you, ignore it.
I've been very well behaved and haven't gone off on mom for all the stupid blind faith that this has to be part of some divine plan. Fuck god's divine plan, you don't get to condemn my sister to a life of pain for your fucking plan, selfish motherfucking bastard. Free will? How is fucking rheumatoid arthritis part of free will? It takes away a ton of her life options, that's not fucking free will. Oh and how about “I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11)”
Fucking lies and complete nonsense. My sister has been faithful (and still is despite this) and this is the way her god treats her? With a fucking chronic disease when she's always lived a healthy lifestyle. If this god exists, he's a fucking jackoff bastard, and I'll be glad to go to hell to get away from him and his fucking hypocritical fucking shitface plans.
