    If you run across her in India it probably won't do me any good. :(

    Maybe I go work in the US and meet her there.
    Also, I think we should leave. This thread is meant for the not-so-happy and I'm hoping you're not that anymore :).

    I just priced out on Newegg the desktop I want to build next and it is $560.

    8 core AMD 4.0 Ghz processor, 1 TB hard drive, 8 GB DDR3 gaming RAM, and a nice 2 GB DDR3 NVIDIA gaming video card that can also play 3D movies.

    I'm really sad I don't have the extra money to buy it right now. :( :( :(

    Hi Cogito! I sometimes think of this forum and go, I need to start writing more, but I can somehow never find time. Yesterday, I found the time and the inclination, so I came back :).

    Why you always so unhappy? Hope, remember. You will have it in the future. :)

    I'm originally from roleplayerguild, and all my work has been deleted cause the main admin neglected to pay for the site. It's back up, but the new guild sucks.

    Someone told me I'm conceited. I liked that part. I am trying to seem conceited, and I'll admit it. I'm pretty vain and conceited. Then Alex "Cabal" told me I have ugly hair. Now I wanna change my hair.

    What can see from your pic is that you have luxuriously black hair. Which I, and 75% of the people from the place I come from, like.
    So you can let Alex 'Cabal' think what he wants to and laugh silently in your confidence.

    Edit: P.S. If you have ugly hair, then I have ugly hair too, which I know for a fact is not true. It's the thing I'm complimented most on. So there :D.

    It's so weird how you can change from "normal girl drawing" to "heaving, crying on table" in less than a minute....:(

    Dang it! I bought a brownie today when I went to eat, but I left it in the bag. When I finished eating I threw the bag away, forgetting about my brownie. Now I want it, but it's gone. I'll just have to drown my sorrows in the chocolate mousse ice cream I have in the freezer...:(

    My partner of about 7 or some odd years has finally left and I'm now a single dad. I'm seriously getting sick of the crappy diapers... that is all.

    For now!

    Fucking... tennis... elbow. Now I've been absent from two boxing classes, I can't work out properly, can't play the guitar, shouldn't even type on the damn computer (i.e. no writing and no posting on the forum either). And it doesn't seem to be getting better. Tennis elbows fucking suck.

    As if that's not enough, my chronic back pain has found another way to brighten my day: a couple of months ago, I woke up to intense back pain that covered the entire back, all of the muscles jammed and tied to knots you have to pry open with a fucking tire iron. Ever since, that's been my every morning. It's particularly annoying because now I can no longer sleep in, but wake up prematurely to the pain, every... fucking... morning.
    Maybe in a few decades they'll figure out how to do back transplants. :rolleyes:

    Time to change the mattress perhaps? I know people with back pain who swear by foam mattresses. Apparently it makes a huge difference.

    We have a foam mattress. We actually got it because of my back pain a few years ago: it's just around 10cm / 4 inches thick and laid on a smooth plywood base and up until now it was great. The next step from that would probably be Tempur, but those things are just too damn expensive around here (you'd have to cough up around $1600 for one of the cheaper ones).

    Wow, I'm sorry to hear about this. Do you think you might have incurred a back injury? Or maybe you flex your back while you sleep? Or maybe you're a sleep lifter--you sneak out a the dead of night and lift the car a few times while you're asleep.

    Or maybe @KaTrian is doing some ancient magic and sabotaging you???o_O

    My guess is that it's related to the two degenerated discs in my lower back (and the two spinal hernias or whatsitcalled in the same area) and somehow the pain they cause make the back muscles seize up. I've had trouble with the discs for around 6 years now, so this whole-back shit is definitely a new symptom, but likely related to the old problem.

    I think poor Kat's too busy sleeping off her sleep debts to hoodoo my back. :D Maybe it's that ex-singer doing some black magic with his new band since they're always messing around with stage blood... or some weird karmic retribution from when he was still in my band and we used real blood in one photo shoot. o_O

    Ah, that sucks.

    Know that even though it seems hard at times, remember that you're really making a difference for your kid. How old is your child?

    That's sad too... I'm sorry she left, man. But you know what, you can be the best Dad in the world. Just remember how much the child(ren) need you and will love you. It's a difficult responsibility, but don't lose hope. It will all be worth it.

    Duchess: He turns three in March and is quite the dare devil, tons of energy. Part of the reason he's staying with me is because I have my own place and she wanted to be with her family. (moving away)

    Andrae Smith: Thanks for the reply, it does get daunting looking after him. But I have family by my side as well who help out a lot when needed, sometimes he'll spend a night or two with his grandma.

    Forgive my technical inaptness I don't yet know how to use the quote function/command.

    Well, that's good! Just keep going. I'm sure you're a great dad.

    @Mic.Henry: Kids can be potty trained at 2-3, but disruptions like a parental split or new sibling could set it back anyway. You'll just have to bear with the dirty diapers.

    I can empathize. With my ex many years ago his ex-wife at the time literally sabotaged their son's potty training. She yelled at us in front of the boy when she saw we had a potty chair in the house. It was bizarre. The boy crapped in his PJs for another year. The ex-wife of my ex would send over washed PJs with turds still in the footies that she didn't bother to dump out before throwing the things in the washer and dryer.

    We just bought him clothes to wear at our house and would leave the one's she'd send in the suitcase, returning them as is without saying we weren't using them. There was little we could do about his life at her house. He's grown now and turned out alright, from what I hear. I never see him.

    Kids figure it out, despite their parents' flaws. Be glad you aren't fighting for time with him. I'd bet you would like that a lot less. It'll work out.

    He definitely loves being with me I will happily admit that one. My ex is still nearby yet, her parents are moving in a month. So she called my mom to arrange a weekend with our boy. I told her yes immediately as he can be a handful. So, he spent Friday night over with his mom and on Saturday she called and basically said that he wasn't eating and kept crying. So we went to go see if he was alright, we were going to take him to the hospital.

    He wouldn't let us leave his sights and as soon as he saw my mom he cried and rushed to her straight away. It hurt my ex seeing that he was growing detached from her, but in all honesty, she always pushed him away when he grew to inconvenient for her. Leaving me to be the tickle monster quite often.

    I still care for my ex but she was never meant to be a mother, not yet at least. Sometimes I feel ashamed for not seeing it in the first place, believe me when I say that the signs were all there not to have a child. Love can make you do stupid things.

    But I soldier on because life goes on and he'll be all grown up in no time. :D

    Thanks for the reply!
