The not happy thread

Holy mother of God!

I've had that fear for a long time (ever since I moved out to be honest) and now that has really told me I was right to be nervous.

 

Okay...my bank is giving me the names of the retailers...that's right this person went on a spending spree. I hope to have this whole thing resolved soon.

Thank you all for the kind thoughts.

 

I was just daydreaming until something bubbled into my head. It was a really sad story, and thanks to my evil mind, it's all vivid and detailed.

The story's this: A deformed man commonly known to the traveling circus he lives in as "Turtle Man" wants to return to his home to live with his older brother (he even has the money needed for passage). One day, the money's stolen and the MC, a passerby who takes pity on the man, promises to care for him while he finds the culprit. Turtle Man (who's real name is Vladmir) lives in the MC's two-storied mansion under the care of his servants who are hesitant to approach him. (Though they eventually accept him)

While nothing too terrible happens to the man besides the theft, the whole thing just made me depressed. There's no way I would want to read a book like that without thinking I'm gonna cry at all the horrible crap he's had to endure, even if he spent 95% of the book in comfort and security in the MC's home. I hate my evil, evil brain.

 

Excellent news!

The fact that it's so vivid for you means that you've got an imagination to be proud of! In this instance that seems to be both a blessing and a curse.

Start writing it out, mate.

 

@ Lava. Well...*sighs* Y'know what? Who am I gonna offend? If anything else, it'll send out a message that no matter what you got, you just keep on truckin' 'till you get there.

*Goes to a word processor*

EDIT: I was inspired to think of this when I was thinking of Joseph Merrick, the Elephant Man. I read his biography and it left an imprint on me.

 

Chimmy, I am so sorry! THat is absolutely horrible. You've been through enough already this year without having some scumbag steal from you like this. I can't even imagine how you would be feeling right now. I really am so very sorry. I wish I lived closer so I could give you a hug, or help out.

I really do hope that they get this sorted out soon darl. Good luck. xxx

 

I am supposed to pose nude for a painting tomorrow and am feeling fat. Not a good combo. Of course, all the ladies in the classic paintings have curves...so I need to get over it...right? I just think I am like 5 pounds heavier than when I last sat for the painting...maybe if I ask nicely he will paint me skinnier. lol.

 

I have many credit cards and they have been carefully controlled with different credit limits. For example, one card has a $50 limit...that's right, only $50. Every year the bank automatically raises the limit to a couple thousand and I have to instruct them to remove the new limit, leaving the card at $50. I use this one for many internet purchases so that my exposure is strictly limited.

The rest of my cards have limits of $200, $500, $1000, $2000, $5000, $20,000...etc. I always use the card with the lowest limit that is suitable to my purchase and I NEVER authorize direct deductions from my checking account.

You might want to do something similar for your own protection. If your credit is not great, you can obtain a "secured" credit card with any limit you want...again, as a way to protect yourself from theft.

 

Jen, don't worry. You are gorgeous!

 

I am not happy because it is freezing cold as only Wisconsin can be.

 

I have two ear infections --one in each ear, and one is an inner and the other is an outer so I am in constant pain-- and things are generally sucking.

Besides the ear infections, the general suckage is probably my own doing, so I'm a little more than irritated with myself for that as well. Sometimes I wonder what I'm doing wrong. It's probably from complaining all the time.

 

Chim, I hope you get everything straightened out. If it helps at all, I've had my credit card info stolen twice, and both times everything got straightened out just fine. Just follow the advice Wrey gave you, and I'm sure everything will get resolved!

You're gorgeous, Mina! You have nothing to worry about.

I hope your ears get better soon, Merc. As a fellow sufferer of frequent ear infections, you have my sympathy. Not fun at all.

 

I am really furious at the moment. I spent years defending someone and she is now going around town trying to cause trouble for me and my family all because I wouldn't bow down to her and worship the ground she walks on. She has turn around and said she had been working to support my family and that is a load of bullsh*t! I am so damn furious right now. If I didn't have Tobin to worry about, I'd knife the c*nt.

 

What is it about people, huh? Expats are particularly terrible. I can't count the number of times I've helped out a newcomer to this country, only to have them backstab me and pretend not to know me later because they are richer or something. My friend says the same happens to her. I just keep my distance now.

Sorry about your experience, Tor. Don't waste time on the low-life.

 

Thanks madhoca. It's just so infuriating that people can turn like this ju7st because they can't haver what you have. At the end of the day, she is jealous that I have children and she doesn't because her partner won't get her pregnant and she has been trying to get pregnant to him without him knowing, and still isn't pregnant. So because of this, she is now trying to tarnish my name around the town we live in. I makes me so angry!

I'm sorry that you have had people crap on you like that. It is so undeserving. I think you are wise to keep your distance and I think I will just avoid associating with people from now on, it serves no purpose being social in my opinion. Life is better when you are antisocial.

 

Well, so can being a very shy introvert. That way, you're not crap to people, and still be left alone.

Still, that bi- should've learned to be grateful as a kid. Next time she whines to you for help, just abandon her. You'll probably hate yourself in the morning for it, but helping ungrateful, snobby people just isn't worth it.

 

I won't hate myself in the morning, I would love to see anything bad happen to that piece of dog sh*t right now. Why? Because she has insulted my children! My ex may be scum of the earth, but this girl is an even lower form of scum for deciding to bring my children into her petty little game.

If it weren't for Dan keeping me relatively calm at the moment, I'd be in my car and ramming it through her front f'ing door and teaching that piece of garbage a lesson! I would also be arrested by the end of the night too. So I guess I am lucky Dan is here, I guess she is as well.

But I swear if she continues to insult my children the way she has been, I won't let anyone stop me from going after her and teaching her a very painful life lesson!!!

 

That little pig-(beep)!!

*Gives you a very, very sharp, stainless steel steak knife and a cook book*

Enjoy. *Also points at the phrase below your name as a hintwinknudge*

 

Wow, Tor, that is an absolutely revolting thing to do to someone. I'm so sorry you've had to go through that, what a horrible b*tch! It's probably for the best that Dan is stopping you going over to her place, but don't worry-even if you don't get to her, karma will.

I am unhappy because today I was supposed to work from 7 to 330, and then Joel and I were going with my sister, her fiance, and my parents to see Trans Siberian Orchestra in concert. Then I woke up at 5:30 sick as hell, and I've been throwing up all day. Joel drove me in to work so I could open the store, I called the closing manager and asked him to come in early, and then I went home, and I've been either in bed or the bathroom the entire day. Sigh...I really wanted to see TSO...

 

Awww, that's horrible! I love the TSO, and I would probably end up trying to go even if I was as sick as you. haha I'm weird. But sorry your sick today, I hope you feel better soon!

 

*stands next to Link and holds Tobin* Go get her!

 

Oh believe me, I considered it. But it's kind of painful when I throw up, and I can't breathe and have panic attacks, so I figured it was better to just stay home. Plus Joel got sick after I did. I gave the tickets to my brother and his wife-they'll enjoy it, and I can just go next year if they come again.

Thanks for the well wishes. I'm really hoping I feel better by tomorrow, because I'm supposed to close at work. Regardless of what position you are, calling out is a pain in the butt for everyone else working, but it's kind of impossible to call out when you're the closing manager...which I am...boo.

 

I'm sorry hun, well with things this bad (especially stomach crap), they are usually gone in a day. So I bet you'll be better tomorrow. If anything else, just keep your hopes and spirits up!

 

Thanks.

 

Thanks Link.

Thanks Hidden. I appreciate it.

And I am so sorry that you are ill. I hope that you feel better soon.

Thanks Em! You are a darling.
