The Not Happy Thread

I think he means cut and paste the avatars of those who gave you bad reviews and put it in the metaphorical 'garden of pain'. Y'know, the shelf that causes you grief.

 

I have a small patchwork of grass aside our pond, and an endless supply of lolly-pop sticks. I take a stick, and upon it wrap the avatar, having printed the fellow, glued, sometimes stapled his face, occasionally cellotape-wrapped avatars - are all herded as cattle. My private collection.

 

I hope I may one day have that illustrious honor of having my avatar put on a stick and thrown into that pond.

 

sounds like the same arsehole that gives me grief........

 

My sister-in-law just sent me a link on Facebook. "20 DIY wine bottle projects you can do any time." I can't give a good reason why, but I'm a little upset by that.

What made her look at that link and think, "Hm.. Beth would really like this!" I've never talked to her about wine bottles. I don't think I've even been in the same room with her and a wine bottle. And I'm not crafty. So what, did she see the empty wine rack hanging on my wall (that came with the house, mind you), and just assume that it's empty because I drank all of the wine that used to be there? Is that what she thought? "Oh, Beth is a wine-o. She should have plenty of empty bottles laying around the house that she can cover in glitter and stick candles in!"

We don't talk. We aren't close. Sometimes, I think she doesn't even like me. She's constantly giving me advice that I didn't ask for. "You know what you should do?!" I don't care, because I'm not going to do it. I don't need to go to this website you love and buy chips in bulk. I don't care that it sells other stuff too. I don't need anything in bulk, especially not laundry detergent. How many loads of laundry do you think I do on a daily basis?

And she's constantly trying to get me to babysit her four month old daughter so that she can go out and drink. I'm sorry you and your husband spent the last two years trying to conceive, only to leave him as soon as you became pregnant because you didn't want to deal with his PTSD. And I'm sorry you weren't prepared for how hard it was to be a single mother. But Beth doesn't do babies. If Beth wanted to babysit, Beth would have her own babies. But Beth doesn't like babies, so Beth never made any babies. So you can quit asking when we're having children, because it's never going to happen.

I don't like being told what to do. I don't like people even implying that I should do something I don't want to do. I'm the rebellious type. You tell me to stop smoking? I'm going to smoke even more. You tell me you'll break up with me if I get fat? I'm going to stuff my face with chocolate. You tell me not to confront someone who upset me? I'm going to key their car.

I don't know what just happened. I went from being a little upset about a wine bottle post to full on rage.


Disregard.

 

Found out today that Stupid Fucking Charter Internet has been charging me $60/mo (instead of $40 like I signed up for) for the last six months.

I called them all outraged and they were like "Yeah we sent you a notification in the mail in April. "

Ok Charter. Nobody reads mail from entertainment providers. We assume it's just ads telling us "Hey you like our service? Well how about MORE FEATURES? Btw give us more money. " ...because 99% of the time that's exactly what those letters are.

So I tell Charter to kindly fuck themselves, and after a minute of Googling, I'm talking to Verizon reps. Guess what — Verizon FiOS is $55/mo for two years. And it's faster than my current internet.

Faster internet for less money? Sign me the fuck up.

*drops mic, punts Charter into Saskatchewan*

 

I hear NetZero dial up is pretty cheap. Maybe you should try that one!

 

And get what? Half a Mbps? If I'm lucky?

 

Well you don't need all that speed unless you are streaming porn movies! Wait are you a pervert?

 

Damn, that must suck. :[ Sorry you're going through that.

Have you tried seeing if there are other internet browsers/routers you can subscribe to that won't charge you that amount?

 

Yes...

 

I'm a gamer. You don't get to be big-dick DPS without having the mindset of a big dick.

...Whatever that means.

 

Jimmy will take care of those chooch paisanos

 

Gamer...I'm sure you can still play tetris at half a mbps speed!

 

I could. But Tetris doesn't have Cloud Serpents, epic raids, or a story or setting at all.

With dial-up I'd have more fun if I went outside.

 

I'm not happy that Jeb Bush is falling so much as a Republican candidate. Trump has come out and said that he pretty much likes Putin, which to me is quite appalling given the things Putin has done recently including invading Ukraine and his ban on homosexuality. At this point if Bush can't get back on his feet, I don't know if there is a Republican candidate I would support. If I had to choose anyone at this point, it would be Marco Rubio. He believes in supporting the Armed Forces and keeping the U.S. one of the top military forces in the world.

 

Folks, just be aware that this is in the Lounge, not the Debate Room, so please don't argue politics too much here. This is one of our best threads; let's keep it that way.

Carry on!

 

Oh I wasn't trying to start a debate, I just read this morning that Bush performed poorly at the debate last night and that his numbers are continuing to decline to the point he will soon be irrelevant. That makes me not happy.

 

I'm so upset :/ almost two months ago I started having knee pain and my regular doctor told me 'it's nothing" and then it was getting worse and worse so I went to a doctor in my university city and she ordered some exams for me to do, and she think there's something wrong with my knee , but the clinic to do the exam gave me an appointment in 1 month, and if there is something wrong I have to go through surgery, ti's no big deal, but you cant walk for 10 days and then have to wear crutches for a few months and then go through reeducation and I'm honestly so afrad that the exam will show that I need surgery because it would mean I wouldn't be able to do my semester abroad in Ireland, I' m supposed to leave in less than 2 months Sorry I'm ranting a lot but I'm so worried and the fact my mom told me " well no one told you to go to dance classes in the first place" that is just such a lot of bs, why would someone think that getting physical activity is bad and that I've basically asked to be injured ?

 

Ohhhh, and if the surgery,( which I'm pretty convinced I need) can wait until I get back in the summer, and that I can go to Dublin as planned, I won't have a home haha landlords are completely crazy with prices that's insane, and when I do find something I want, it's either taken or the landlords back out, I've lived in Paris and thought rent was horrible there but oh gosh that's a whole new level of crazy :O

 

Kinda minor thing to be pissed off about, but if I mention it in real life, most likely, my friends will spew about women -- pretty sure that won't happen here d: (;

Talking to a woman online, being respectful, imo, and she seems nice and mature, then she blocks me. No "sorry, don't think it'll work, but I gave it consideration," or anything. Was pissed cuz I thought it implied that I'd get mad or be manipulative (like lay a guilt trip or make promises). Whatever, back to the "mindfuck, strategic drawing board" s:

 

The twin conch piercings on my right ear hurt so bad.

I just got them a couple months ago, and cartilage takes like literally forever to heal, and I'm a bad patient. I can't stop playing with them. That's gotta be why they're complaining so much: "Leave us alone! We're trying to heal here and we can't focus with you pestering us all the time!!"

Owie.

 

Are you sure you are not allergic to nickel

 

I'm getting picked on by a member here. I've reported him three times and have ignored him.

Christ.

 

You know I was just kidding when I said you had a small tail for a killer whale. You shouldn't feel bad, it's just genetics.
