The Not Happy Thread

@Tenderiser
Well, in some ways, it was a genocide. Our government's MO was to basically bomb the shit out of
Vietnam to get the Vietcong.

Our genocide against the Native Americans... yeah, that was genocide pure and simple.

 

I didn't detect the sarcasm either but I do think queue jumping should be punishable by death so I'm definitely British.

Link, we need an answer! Is your sense of taste affected? You know, if you aren't making the whole thing up

 

I can't taste food well, which explains why I always had an eating problem.

 

If you wanted to draw a parallel - in US military, social history - AND UK history, you might compare Vietnam with Malaya, or Kenya and our imperial war v the Mau Mau.

Rhodesia too...

The chai that I got sucks.

Anybody want a mostly-full box of shitty tea?

 

Yeah, dude. Send it on over this way. I've never been known to turn down free shit.

 

I can recommend you a good tea shop if you're willing to travel to Australia just for tea.
T2 has absolutely fabulous quality boxes of loose-leaf if you don't mind paying a little more.

 

DID SOMEONE SAY TEA?!

 

Can't you just mail it to me? Or better yet, email it? I'll 3D print it out. <_<

I got you fam.

 

You da real MVP.

 

Oh, my family gets some fantastic chai off of amazon, when I can get back on my computer, I can pm you the link, if you want, @Imaginarily!

 

I have to drive thirty miles to get paid on a job that was 100miles round trip.
I fear the guy will not pay, but I guess tomorrow should be interesting. Annoys
me that I get paid upon completion of the work, and not one to wait for
payment. Grrrrrr.....being sub contracted through a third party is irritating.

 

Such a sweet looking dog too.

I know it's hard but you did the right thing to make sure she was comfortable. My two dogs (litter mates) are going on 14 and the vet pointed out Friday that the breed has a life expectancy of 12-15 years. I thought it was closer to 20. They're fine now but the idea they are in their last years .

Hugs from me to you.

 

If they're already 14 and doing well they might just surprise you and live another three.

 

The thing is, I hadn't thought about it until Friday. Somewhere I had acquired the false belief that small dogs like mine lived 20-25 years. They should be middle aged, not elderly.

Still, we're fine, not like @big soft moose who is in pain right now. Makes me so sad for anyone who has to deal with loss.

 

Everytime I'm reminded of how much of my life is very good I feel guilty for a second. Sometimes I feel like I need to somehow give half away to be fair. Mergh.

 

Well that sucks. I'm definitely donating half my sense of smell to you. I'll throw in my immortal soul for the right price...?

 

My mother-in-law is the guest of honor at a black-tie affair tonight.

 

Hope your partner is okay.

 

I've basically spent my entire life hiding physical pain because nobody had time for me crying - I don't show pain until it hits at least an 8 of 10 on the agony scale.

I've had nasty headache all weekend and finally it got to about a 9 this morning... I asked to go home and the woman in charge just smiles at me like she doesn't believe me.

Like, the idea that I might be in serious physical pain (and not to mention the emotional and psychological torture I endure daily, which I also don't complain about at work for a multitude of reasons) baffles people, unless I'm literally bleeding or a bone is sticking out.

 

Fuck that woman!

Hope you feel better soon. I was in bed by 6:30pm yesterday because of a pounding headache. It sucks and is no joke.
