Having to pay an additional $70 for getting your car serviced because some worthless feckless *censored* either didn't put the gas cap on right (not likely) OR somebody siphoned gas out of your tank (more likely) and then having to spend MORE money (that I don't really have) to look into getting a locking gas cap because of it.

Grr.

Edit: Apparently one of my curse words didn't censored. Oops. Self censored!

Sending good vibes your individual ways Blue-eyed-paladin and Tim. We are pulling for you.

Eyebite: Wow, thanks for making me feel better about my morning, man.

Yeah, it obviously pales in comparison to Tim and Blue-eyed's respective ordeals. My thoughts go out to you guys.

After my initial anger burned off, I am slowly able to see it as an amusing story.

Update: Went home after work, crawled around under the house and got the rest of my "dog presents."

Imagine me, crawling under the house (crawling room only) with a flashlight and a wet washcloth, hunting for a substance that can only be described as having the consistency of apple sauce. Horrid, awful, apple sauce.

Oh, and it was about a sweltering 100 degrees under the house, that had been baking all day in the sun. Turns out, we also have a bit of a spider infestation down there, and the bug guy needs to come out and do some killin'.

The dog and I? Still not on speaking terms.


My boss being a stupid immature woman. And a slacker.

Man, this is what I had on Saturday. Headache began about 2.30pm Saturday afternoon, got steadily worse until it was almost unbearable by 6.30. Started feeling nauseous about then too, puked at 7 or so, went to bed, headache persisting (painkillers didnt help).

Had a fever, strange fever dreams / nightmares most of the night (involving Queen Ileosa, goblins, sand, castle walls and boxes), really thirsty but couldnt keep water down.

Headache was still very bad in the morning, Sunday morning 10.00am the local pharmacy opened, purchased stronger painkillers. Helped a little bit (not a lot), made me drowsy, more fever dreams.

Headache persisted all Sunday, painkillers helping only marginally, finally started to taper off about 7pm Sunday night, but still wasn't feeling great most of Monday. Fine on Tuesday.

That sucked. Hope you don't have that.

Wow, that's awesome that they can even do that! It's sad to think of where such a tiny heart may have come from, but it went to a good cause. Hope they give you good news!

Would explain the pain - not so much an ordinary headache - more like a scratching - burning sensation...

I have ruined this thread by making jokes. I hang my head in shame.

Assuming you don’t have a heart condition, or allergies to any of the following, try this:

1 Aspirin
1 acetaminophen
1 ibuprofen
1 mt. dew (diet acceptable)
1 antacid (take first)

Usually I follow this up with:
1 decongestant
1 antihistamine (4 hour preferred)

That’s a lot of drugs. A lot; so obviously, talk to a doctor or a pharmacist first to check for interactions.


Being ignored for two solid weeks before a stupid man decides to get around to telling you that he's met someone else. After deleting him from respective social networking sites suchs as My Space and Facebook, getting several messages from said man demanding to know what he did wrong. Trying to remain civil and not harm other (better and smarter and cooler!) friend's relationship with this man. And not calling him a f#&#ing hobbit in the process.

Scarab Sages

hmmm...getting laid-off due to the recession...and since I was contracting labor, no unemployment compensation...

can't move easily, as ex-wife and I have joint custody of the kids. And I won't leave my kids.

School buses being taken away next year due to Gray Davis/Arnold Governator and the amazing spend-o-matic California govenrment. Living 2 miles from the school and the school starts at 8:45 which screws up getting a job with a commute...

Sorry for you, YeuxAndI, but men are jerks. And immature.

But that's not fair for hobbits, which are not. Except maybe the Proudfeet.

Been there, that was me last time they were pretending we weren't knee deep in a recession. Contract job after contract job, oiy, when there was work to be had, at any rate. At least I finally found one that offered benefits, which was slick, compared to the alternative anyhow.

Given the level of disrespect, I think hobbit would be far too mild. Reminds me of Signs, "Is douchebag a curse?"

Y'know, and I don't mean to be critical, you seem to write something like this every few weeks. While these guys are doubtless numpties, you do seem to be stuck in a rut with numpty guys. Maybe you need to change your modus operandi - not every guy is a git, but all the ones you meet are.

You're right. It's been a disappointing few months, at least that way, and things have gotten better. Movin' up, movin' on, blah blah. Besides, it's all I have to complain about. >.<

Thank, everyone. Paizo love always always makes me feel better.

Mssr. Beeler: This is true but I use douchebag far too often for it to be an effective insult. And he's short! Like 5'5"! And is sensitive about his height. So hobbit is the best insult I could come up with on the fly, though now that I think about it for a minute, stinky goblin would work just as well.

You should call him a xvart or jermlaine. And if he gets it, that's bonus points right there!

Holy Crap.

YeuxandI - I've noticed a similar theme with your posts.

Today I looked at your myspace page posted in your profile.

Now I'm baffled. I had assumed you were some wookie looking baglady that had no choice in the matter and merely took what you could. I was wrong.

Why then are you relegating yourself to dating douches?

Aim higher dear, your options aren't so limited.

Yeux, I am single! I can cook, clean, and I give GREAT massages! (A friend of mine is a pro and said that I should go pro too.) ~wry smile~ Not enough? ~thinks~ What else does she want? ~gives a look of pure horror~ No! Not my roleplaying collection! ~GRINS~

I'm 5'11". A guy I work with, though, is 5'6" and has a serious Napoleon complex. I don't mess with him only 'cos his biceps muscles are bigger than my head.

Hey, I'm the same height as The Eldritch Mr Shiny...

Yeah, I knew a guy like that. He once killed a metal locker with his fists because the chick he liked turned him down for a taller guy.

Definitely the same species. Shane (my co-worker) crushed a metal trash can with his knee after someone told him he was short.

He has a new girlfriend about every month, and so far, only one of them has been shorter than him.

Go see Danzig in concert; the drumkit is way down low so he looks about 12 feet tall in front of it. Poor drummer is always playing in the basement.

As for women who dis short men simply because they're short (as opposed to Yeux’s beau, who is short, and a jerk), well, generally those are the same women who suddenly lose their height reservations if he's standing on a pile of cash...

See, I was told that Danzig stood on a little platform with the demon face logo on it to be as tall as the rest of the band. I guess they switch it up.


Aw, shucks guys. I really super appreciate all the lovely things everyone has said. If you could see me, you'd see how red my face is. With joy!

Hi, Shiny. I'm Yeux. Like 'you' not 'yuck'. :P
