Dread Pirate Robert Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) My sister in law coming over to my house and breaking one of my house windows this morning when I was at work because she is mad at my brother, her husband. I'm like: WTF? (only a WTF with a good deal of RAGE behind it, which is not obvious from the 3 letters WTF) I pointed out to her that what she did was a CRIME and asked her if she really wanted to GO TO JAIL, in addition to pointing out how incredibly irrational it was of her to break my window because she is mad at my brother. ("pointed out" is rather a mild way of putting it, let's just say I was screaming at her as I voiced those words.) She has profusely apologized and has promised to pay for the cost of replacing the window. Grrrr . . . . . I will let it slide, THIS TIME, in the interest of not sending my sister in law to jail just yet. But she has been warned. Edited July 30, 2013 by Dread Pirate Robert
Mara Posted July 30, 2013 Author Posted July 30, 2013 THE SAME GROUP OF LIKE 5 KIDS KEEP RUNNING THROUGH OUR YARD Nonstop, just tearing up our grass. WE do all the yard work. WE keep it tidy. THEY mess it up.I have told them countless times not to do it. Today I threatened to call the cops. THEY KEEP DOING IT. My husband is literally in the yard now, waiting for another group of kids to run through.The boy who always seems to "lead" the others through the yards is the son of the park manager. I don't give a f*ck WHO his dad is. Enough of that shit. Time for a privacy fence. Or a trip wire, if you are feeling particularly mean. (J/k, don't do that even though it would be fun, because if one of the brats gets hurt, you know there'll be a lawsuit against the homeowners' insurance).
Maverick Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) Goddamn stupid motherf.ucking colitis. Bad flare. New doctor because of new insurance, and he wouldn't give me the sulfasalazine that I know from past experience actually works! No, not until I see the GI specialist (have a new one of those too - it's a Kaiser HMO and at least it pays for everything pretty much and it doesn't take 20 years to get appointments - I have one tomorrow morning). He told me to take Pepto Bismol. Excuse me? Things are bloody and messy and damn near uncontrollable, and I'm barely eating so that I can avoid the problems THAT creates, and you tell me to take Pepto-f***ing-Bismol? So I took a few Imodium AD, which is something I am not supposed to take when I am having a flare. But fuckit; either that or risk shitting myself at work, and that was very much not going to happen. It seems to be doing the trick for now; I've eaten a bit of chicken and a protein bar without mishap and got a good workout in (which I needed to blow off some steam). I am not leaving that office tomorrow without a bottle of sulfa in hand. Even if I have to drop my pants and shit buckets right there in the lobby to get my point across. Ironically this flare is probably related to my giving up cigarettes. Smokers are much less likely to get colitis than non-smokers, and ex-smokers are quite the target, it seems. Some treatments actually involve nicotine therapy, though not via smoking (don't think it hasn't crossed my mind lately). Stupid body - I finally quit poisoning it after 25 years and this is how it rewards me.We all hope you get well soon!!! Thank you - I am MUCH better today. I really like the GI specialist I saw yesterday morning. Of course he wants to "take a look" (ugh, I am so not looking forward to that, scheduled for next week), but he told me that Imodium is fine as needed and also gave me an anti-inflammatory. Once results are back we'll decide on a new medication protocol. I'd like to "take a look," too. Is that bad? Edited July 30, 2013 by Sheldon Cooper
Principled Man Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Bees. In my laundry room. Got in thru the central air power line that comes in from outside.
hobo73 Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Lucy has been testing me- she did not listen to me at all today. Not. At. ALL.She pinched me again, she was in her room most of the day. Gah!!! >.< Then on top of a screaming toddler (and I do mean ear-splitting screaming) trying to sneak out of the bedroom every 3 seconds, I babysat my niece and nephew. Nephew's only a year old, so no biggie lol. The Niece kept saying she was going to look in our cabinets and eat our food because she forgot to bring more food in case she got hungry. (we have just enough food for us til we get grocery money, we had no extra food and I stressed this to her mom.)Everytime I said no, it was "I'm still going to." NO, YOU'RE NOT. Then it was, why can't I play with this and this?Lucy's in trouble and she can't. It wouldn't be fair to allow every kid but her to play. If she can't play with it, nobody is. It will stay in the extra room, locked away."But IT'S NOT FAIR. MY MOM WOULD LET ME."Well, I'm not your mom, sweetie. lol.

Um, I think it'd be a titch odd if you really get off on seeing the insides of bloody inflamed intestines. At least the doctor gets money for that.
The Analog Grownup Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 There is a lot of little bugs in my area at the moment, and they all seem to wanna get through my window. Unfortunately it is extremely damp and hot, and I have to keep my window closed. It's like 10 insect flying into my window every 5 minutes :bang bang:

Retrospective Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 My coworker stole all of my work so I sat through a three hour shift finding stupid small things to do because my supervisor is on vacation.
Alsgalpal Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 That's about what I can say about people. Like.
hobo73 Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 I am babysitting my niece and nephew tomorrow. It is 12:10 AM now. I am just now finding out the kids will be here by 7:30 in the morning, and "oops." WTF MAN.
Alsgalpal Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 My back is killing me today. Stoopid weather changes... Why does it do this? It feels like someone is breaking my spine, peeling the muscles out from the top down, and holding a flame thrower to it. :(
Turbine Freight Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Just worked 16 hours straight re-wiring a house. Under floors, in the loft, pulling out old greasy ovens. Just to pay the bills.
Alsgalpal Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) Coming home after working a 13+ hour day and having to CLEAN THE f***ing KITCHEN after someone had his friend over and left EVERYTHING f***ing out. Yep, that must be all I'm good for. I have to make a certain amount of money and work work work and all I'm good for is housekeeping. I have to be perfect to be a cool kid.

Dread Pirate Robert Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) A few minutes ago: Unpacking from a camping trip. Reaching into a backpack to pull stuff out of it. Slicing open one of my fingers on a razor blade that was in there which had been covered by a sheath which had come off somehow. Gah. Horrible sensation, that of feeling a finger being sliced open. Oh well, band aids. Edited August 12, 2013 by Dread Pirate Robert
