The Not Happy Thread

Probably should be, but Country just gets no traction in Japan. Although there was one noodle shop near my old job that constantly had classic country (Merle Haggard and such) playing out front. Otherwise a completely normal Japanese get-it-and-go ramen joint, very odd.

 

Well you can find anything if you look for it.

 

Remember an online purchase I made a couple of months ago? Well, the pack found its way home but it was a scam. I'm resolving things through paypal. I'm not so surprised though it's a pity. Now, I have to keep on looking for shoes.

 

Picking my jaw. Off. The. Floor.

The ghastly thing is that whoever sent down this diktat probably thinks they're being progressive.

I wonder where they'd expect you to put Kris Nelscott's (aka Kristine Kathryn Rusch) Smokey Dalton noir detective novels? White author, black protagonist . . .

Yeah, I can see why you're mad. Pisses me off just imagining it, and I'm miles away from the heart of it compared to you.

As for your work, this is a good reason to self-publish. For what it's worth, as a sub teacher I can tell you that kids of all ethnicities are growing up reading lit anthologies with stories by and about people of all sorts. So if the story's good they shouldn't have any problem reading your work, if you publish it under a real genre.

 

I vote CT for President.

 

That was... that was magical. In its own way.

 

They're one of Mrs. A's favorites at yakiniku, but she always pulls off that orange banana-shaped bit. I say leave it all for the otters, but whatever.

 

Really? Cause Saffron is like 20$+ for an ounce.
I think it is the most expensive spice that I can
find.

 

Good friend died this morning.

 

Sorry for your loss.

 

Sympathies.

 

Sorry for your loss.

 

That's awful. Condolences.

 

My brain is not in a good place today. I just can't explain it but it's not in its usual happy spot.

@GingerCoffee *hugs* I'm so sorry to hear that.

 

How does one go about hugging an Orca?

 

People who don't fucking read the full thread before giving their unnecessary and rude opinions on how you do things*

Or in groups where 200 people say exactly the same thing. WTF is the point in that?

*Part of this may be hanger related...but you didn't hear that from me.

 

Just wanted to expand on this now I've had time to calm down and eat pizza. Cos I'm sad like that.

I made a post about fake flowers on a wedding website. Then some bitchy person decides to tell me I am planning my wedding wrong, and that I should see a florist to find out what's in season!

Firstly, I didn't ask for your rudeass opinion about how I plan things.

Secondly, being fake, everything is in season whenever I want it!

The really sad part is thinking about this has got me wound up again.

 

And there was me thinking that these rules applied to the entirety of the internet.

 

I discovered today that a good family friend died a while back. She'd been ill for a while, but they didn't know what was wrong with her. Her last words to her husband were "I'm going", then she was dead.
He requested a post mortem to discover what happened, and they said her body was riddled with infections inside.

 

Hahaha! I know this is off topic but I got to say, love the description here.

 

Real flowers are nice, but fabric ones can be lovely. And you can used them again later at home, or donate them, or give them away as prizes or whatever. And no worries about some guest getting over-excited and knocking over a vase full of water.
