invisibleairwaves Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Okay, so we have this toilet that takes an unreasonable amount of force on the lever to get it to flush. Not sure why. So basically the lever snapped in half while I was pushing on it, and I ended up gouging my hand on the chunk of it that was still attached to the toilet. Bled like a mofo. I'm not an injury-prone person at all, so I'm amazed that I managed to get myself hurt in such a freaking bizarre (and embarassing) way. Good news though, they managed to get it closed with glue, so no stitches. Thanks for the concern, guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oracle Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 My family is basically giving me the decision on when to bury my grandmother. Seriously, I'm only 17 and they want me to decide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured something must have broke, there aren't really any sharp parts on a toilet. Now maybe you can get a lever that is easier to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be why they are asking. If you really don't care when, that you think this is more important, let them know. and for you on the loss of your grandmother.

Oracle Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Thank you everyone for your condolences. We've been basically living through our telephone and have been getting calls from a lot of people. We've asked that everyone make a contribution to the Susan G. Koman foundation since my grandmother was a two time survivor of breast cancer (though it ultimately got her in the end). So if any of you have some spare money, even just a dollar, please donate it. @nettie - There's literally nothing scheduled for me to do. I'm going through my regular mourning phase and pretty much secluding myself from friends for a while. It's what I did last year when my aunt just suddenly died at 39. I've been asked for everything from what I want from her personal items to when we bury her. I've screamed and fought and cried so much since Sunday that I have no other options. It feels like I'm right up against a wall and people just don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime, maybe telling your family that this is all too much for you to handle on your own would be a good idea. I don't know any of the dynamics of what's going on, but it's pretty unreasonable to ask you to make such huge decisions and seemingly all at once. You'll be in my thoughts.

Union 5-3992 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I watched the end of Season 4 of Dexter and now I feel just as bad as I did the first time I saw it. It gets me every single time. All that blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, this is a repeat of what happened last year when my aunt died. There were so many arguments then and now it's all coming back. I'm putting my foot down, thanks for the support you guys.

1 of the 7 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Had a crappy day at work that'll put my job in jeopardy and pretty much kill a decent chance at a raise at the end of the year. And it's only January 4th. This on top of today being my father's death date (he's been gone 19 years now, which is as long as I knew him. Weird feeling). And I heard my kitty's song on the radio for the first time since her death - Green Eyed Lady by Sugarloaf. I'd forgotten about it until today...was pretty tough.
