The Not Happy Thread

Latest IOS update just jacked my phone.

Steve, you are sorely missed, sir. Sorely.

 

What did you update to? I've been hearing lots of dissatisfaction regarding Yosemite. Even the computer mags are saying 'don't go for it just yet, it's not really ready, this is just a beta version, bla bla...'

 

OSX Yosemite is not ready for release yet and has not been rolled out, it's just had a large beta presence, which is unusual for a Mac OS. There are betas for it everywhere, but that's not the real deal yet. But it wasn't my Mac's OS, it was my iPhone's IOS that was hinky.

 

Still not rich and famous. Not sure why.

 

im not a "phone guy" but i think apple is notorious for that kinda thing, a lot of folk stay away from new releases, same with microsoft and their pc update spangley things.

p.s. i have a sore tooth on the right and an ulcer on the left AND i cut my tongue somehow, im not happy. Eating is not fun at the moment.

 

Time for the all milkshake diet?

 

Thanks. The little baby boy sure made the not-happy go away.

 

I hate poorly informed, paranoid patients. You can't please them, they mishear what you say then get mad at you for it.

This guy wasn't really exposed, a woman spit in his face then said she had HIV. She probably doesn't but he wasn't exposed to any blood anyway.

Now he's all pissy because the lab results aren't back. Apparently no one did a rapid HIV on the woman because they didn't draw the right tube (I was not involved in that part). He's sure everyone cares more about the source and not about him. I told him he wasn't exposed to enough blood to get infected. He doesn't believe it so now I'm the enemy along with the public health department.

Sigh...

 

Not happy because I get the balls to post a story and I don't have the proper permissions to do so. Rules state I should ask a "moderator" but who the heck is that? I see "Staff Members" but is that the same thing? I'm kind of superstitious in that if something goes wrong in my attempt to do something, I shouldn't do it.

 

Ask me. I'm a moderator.

 

I have body dysmorphia to the point where I cannot and will not shop for clothes. I only ever buy online and I buy clothes maybe once every 2-3 years. My bra's all fell apart this week and so did I as I had to go and stand in a shop and look at myself in a mirror. Evil, evil places. I hate shops. I am in tears...again because my body has put on weight this past year and every outfit I have just makes me feel incredibly frumpy. The tightness of the clothing, the way my stomach feels bloated. I hate this.

I have three mirrors in my home. I wish I didn't have any. I can't stand my own reflection.

 

Sorry to hear that, i knew a girl a few years back who suffered from bdd, it wasnt nice watching her go through it. If you're that fed up of it then try seek professional help, i know its easier said that done but what happened with her was there came a point where she was just so tired of it that she reached out to someone and it did get better.

she had CBT which was useful, she didnt want medication. If i remember correctly she said the most helpful thing as the support groups. It is a mental thing, and i my honest opinion, sometimes its long and hard but all limitations can be overcome.

 

It has been in the upper 80's to mid-90's the past few days and thanks to my idiotic greyhound, I have been stuck wearing slacks, jeans, or tights, given the fact that my knee is so purple it looks almost black. It doesn't hurt, it just looks atrocious. Blood thinners and hard knocks, not a good combination.

Zwi knocked me clean off my feet as I was crossing the yard. He was in a full on sprint and usually he is pretty good about stopping. This time, not so much. I don't know who was more shocked by the collision, Zwi or me, but it was a hoot to see Rue bawl Zwi out for knocking me over. Rue scolded the poor fellow more thoroughly than I ever could have.

I adore my boys, but there are days when I just want to mail them to Oz...

 

Realizing that all the writing I'm doing is really just for myself, not anything that anyone is likely to care about. Bummertown. Well, that's not really a new realization, just a thing that sometimes bothers me and sometimes doesn't.

Also: Up late, no one to talk to, coping with PTSD etc. Life is hard and so forth.

What even is life, anyway? What are we all doing here? What's all this stuff for? Whoa, man. I just blew my own mind.

 

I'm listening.

 

Yes Ginger is a good listener...and a good talker too.

 

Well my doctor added another pill to the long list of pills I take for my various ailments. I can't work yet I'm having a hell of a time getting the disability I worked to earn. I love my country but this is a part of it I despise. What is there I can do? It's one of the most hopeless feelings in the world when you can't control your own life.

 

Or your brain.

 

That's among the very few things Finland does better than the States. It's not so good, however, that I wouldn't know from personal experience how frustrating and difficult it can be to deal with the things like what you're describing. Hope things work out for you in the end.

 

Yet another unleashed dog, this time we weren't even in the park, the dog was in their yard, loose, no owners in sight.

 

Sorry to hear that, how does it work in terms of compensation? i mean how can you be constantly expected to foot the bill?

 

The dog's owners told the police they would pay it. When they see it is $500, we'll see if they meant it. But since I reported it to the police and there is a report on record, if they don't pay I can take them to court.

When it happened a couple years ago and it was much worse, the dog's owner's homeowners insurance paid it ($4,200).

 

Poor puppydog :-(

 

I'm going hiking with my ex-girlfriend and her family tomorrow. It was supposed to just be a hike with one of her sisters, but the sister went ahead and invited everyone. This will be awkward.
