The Not Happy Thread

Thanks. No, it's just a really huge brick building with a huge roof... it's more than a hundred years old- and it used to be a factory. Fun fact: my grandmother's grandmother used to work here.

 

Thanks.

I hope you find your purse soon! I hate losing things.

 

^Cool! I love brick buildings. So cozy.

 

Hope you find your purse in that impressive house of yours.

I think I'll add this to my list of reasons for not carrying 'a purse' as a rule. No chance of losing it. Money, phone, keys - pocket. Done.

 

All I say is I wish there was an effective cure for all types of cancer.. I'm tired of the people around me developing it and dying from it.. Doesn't give me much hope at all. Just wish they'd find a cure.

 

Jayy that's very wrong that so many people you know and love are dealing with cancer. I agree, there needs to be a cure soon!

 

I know.. I've had a lot of people I really love and care about die in the past six-seven months due to cancer. I really just wish a cure would be found. right now though there testing a Potential Leukemia cancer cure. Were you aware of that. That really made me happy to hear that.

 

I wasn't aware, but I'm happy to know about the cure. I hope it works out.

 

No matter how many emails you spam me with, I'm not interested in purchasing any 'male enlargement pills'. Thanks all the same!

 

And the dog saga continues. My mother insists I am being judgemental and guilt tripping her, by suggesting that maybe he should have been trained as a puppy not to eat cellphones.

In my opinion, being judgemental is justified when the untrained dog destroys my property. Gah. Mothers.

 

So I get a new doctor and he says: We need lab work. I hadn't had one for months, so...

Yeah, I'm gonna be poked with a needle and have blood drawn just for general info.

Typical. Let the blood do the talking, not the human.

 

Sorry to hear that. I wish there were cures too, but on a more positive note at least they are testing and trying to.

 

I am training as a tour guide here in Copenhagen and I am being tested for the first time ever tomorrow, I am terrified! It feels too soon and I don't feel ready at all! I can remember the stories mainly but the dates are too hard to remember!

 

I hate having bloodwork done. I get to do that in a few weeks. :/

Aw, you'll do great! My husband would be super jealous--he's Danish, and he really wants to go to Denmark. That's the next big vacation we're planning.

 

Just getting this off my chest: I hate being in love.

 

Hmm... How can you hate that?

 

I can't speak for Ollpheist, but I can see what's to hate about being in love. There's no controlling, it, reallly, and potentially there is a lot to lose. Some relationships are very dramatic, with ups and downs that can make you weary. That is not my personal experience, but I can see where people hate to be in love.

On the other hand, it is totally worth it.

 

Presumably that's unrequited love? Join the club.

My own not happy: If my mother could actively stand in my way and complain about something which isn't my fault more it'd be some sort of miracle. We've had a long-standing arrangement that I'd borrow the car today and go to one of my best friend's wedding. It was in the back of beyond on the far side of Manchester, so I needed either a lift or the car. Ten minutes before I'm due to set off I notice the car isn't in the drive. She's gone and taken the car, forgetting entirely about the wedding. She gets back half an hour after the wedding ends, after having gone shopping. The rest of the day has been spent with me alternating between checking the cricket score and working on the garden pond, before coming in to watch Final Score. As Town concede a last-minute equaliser I have a grumble - only for her to come back with a 'Well, if you got out more and had a job then you wouldn't have the energy to complain'. Spot the irony. Now, while she's working on her uni dissertation, I've wanted to watch half an hour of football, only for her to say no, she's watching the telly. How, you're working?

Somehow I haven't lost my temper.

How deep is your pond? I would suggest extending it and deepening it a little, and, just for now, holding fire on the water.

 

Unfortunately I couldn't do that, as it'd kill the ecosystem. It's just been getting rid of a lot of plants and reorganising some things in the pond. There is a lot of stuff to get rid of. Took about an hour just to clear one channel about six inches wide. The muck it kicked up meant I didn't know what I was pulling up over a few inches below the surface, so it was pulling things out right round. A pile almost two feet high and two feet wide at the bottom came out, with plenty more work to be done. Hopefully the murk will have gone tomorrow morning, when I'll resume the underwater pruning.

 

Heh, know the feeling. But being in love can also be the best thing in the world.

Dante: That sucks, especially missing your best friend's wedding. Parents can be like that sometimes.

As for me, well, the library person organising my volunteering hasn't called me. I was told she would yesterday but noo, she hasn't. So this means I'll probably have to either call her (which will be hell for me) or go back and see if she's around at the library. I won't do anything until Tuesday I think. That gives her Monday to hopefully call me and get the dreaded call over and done with. And I'm really nervous, as in if I think about it too much feel sick kind of nervous because I'm socialising tomorrow which is a rare thing. I always get this nervous about socialising but it doesn't help the last time I socialised, other than with my family, was a couple of months ago so I'm sort of panicking. I imagine it's going to be depressing, even if it is good for me to get out and be with people.

 

^ Exactly that's why you just gotta risk it all and go with your heart. Sure at times you'll regret it but why? That person once made you happy so just remember those moments and smile and think about how happy you'll be whenever you find that special person.

 

Oh.. I thought you meant you were digging a new pond..and I was rather naughtily hinting that ponds of a certain size, destitute of water, could just about pass muster as graves for moaning mothers.

Bravo, incidentally on having the balls to clean your pond. I wouldn't dream of sorting mine out..so very murky..Lord knows what lurks a few inches from the surface...something slimy no doubt.

 

Not my best mate, but from that social group.

And relax, you'll be fine! Not good about not being phoned back, though.

I know what you were suggesting. It was extremely tempting (after another barbed remark about jobs - yeah, because after applying for over a hundred jobs I'm not trying...)

And it's not so bad. It needs a load of weed pulling out and the lilies need cutting back. We're getting a few more fish, so I'm making sure there is plenty of space in there. Unfortunately, it's going to be a lot of work.

 

I have the (mis)fortune of being in love with a woman who seems to have little to no interest in me. She's away at college across the state most of the time, so I hardly ever get to see her, and I get to talk with her even less. So I haven't had a chance to lay my cards out on the table yet, so to speak.

That's why I hate being in love.
