Ha. You owe a dollar to the swear jar!

Oh looky there another blatant lie out of classic.
;)

Shawnee, I have become a human lie detector. I don't choose to expose one every time it comes along...The catch is to be with someone that is terrible at it. I have been with people that were actually diagnosed as perpetual big fat liars (my jargon added). I guess you have to gauge intent with the little white and the big, fat, beastly ones to the best of your ability, and if it was all do to selfish causes on the liars part, you may not want to stay with that person because they will drag you through a recurring hell just to satisfy some petty want, that incidently, totally screws you over (and repeat). (Please excuse the run on)

The other side of the liar coin:If things were done to protect you in some way..well..it's your choice. The road to hell is paved with good intentions...yes..but at least the good existed at all and there is something to work with, the good.:)

Yes humans lie but so do really big, fat, abusive assholes that need to go to cell block- bullshitter maniac that took your money and ran!!

Little white lies, yes I understand that. In my opinion, this was a beastly one that lasted a period of a few months. It was so unnecessary, too.

I guess I'm just hurting.

Really cool that you replied Cic. I had to go into a classroom yesterday to administer a student survey. I picked up an English textbook "Essays" and read an essay about the ways in which humans lie. There was a quote from Cicero! I wish I could find it on the net but will try to look for it later.

:)
I hope it all works out. If they lied to try and save the relationship you are really going to have to think it over.

I want to know what they lied about. I am nosey. I am guessing it's this guy living with you. hmmm? yea....What did he do this time hmmmm?

You don't have to answer any of that btw. ;)

If it just temporarily hurts and can be worked out go ahead and do it. If this person has done this kind of thing before and you are being a chump..I would not support further contact with this individual.
:)

It's not the Homeless Guy. He can do nothing but lie and I am aware of that and therefore do not believe much of what he says.

I have no way of knowing if this lying is just the status quo for this individual or not, but it's no way to start out any relationship, friendship or otherwise.

Trust sensors off.

Make a swear sock instead of a swear jar. If they haven't learned their lesson by the time they fill that baby up with quarters, well, then they will :)

lol!@schmutz

Shawnee: dead on the mark.

Swear sock! :p

I'm pretty sure I have an infection in my incision. Gotta call the doctor's office tomorrow. :(

Oh Clod, thats ickie for you.

I hurt my back trying to do shit at work that I shouldn't have been doing...I'm out until Monday.

X-rays revealed mild arthritis in my lower back.

I'm fat, and having a hard time getting the weight off.

I like working for the new restaurant, but we just don't have a delivery business yet, and I lose money every day I work there. I'm going back to the old place until delivery business picks up at the new place.

Gah, back pain sux.

Oh, and I have a nasty cold. But Advil cold and Creomulsion seem to be working.

That Creomulsion tastes like bbq sauce, but it does the trick with a cough.

Hebe's fish tank heater malfunctioned while we were out and her fished boiled to death including the two new ones she got yesterday :(

my hormones are making me insane, hot flashes, and my arm hurts a lOT and I'm out of pain pills. my radiation oncologist is a BITCH. I"m gonna fire her tomorrow.

Me, losing bricks out of my wall, having known better. :cry:

I'm sorry

That is some sad stuff there Shawnee.......If you still have some bricks left just insert them back.

Ice Cream Emergency!! Someone get Shawnee some ice cream!!

And someone trip that guy over there, I don't care if he is responsible for this or not... it'll be funny.
:)
Shawnee just concentrate on what a good person you are for handing out scholarship money.

teehee

You know the worst part about it? When you KNOW you are standoffish, and you don't let anyone in, and you have your guard up all over, and someone comes along and urges you to let people in, almost faults you for isolating, then ends up hurting you.

Go figure.

Ummm, ice cream. I like Vanilla Chocolate Chip with just a smidgeon of Hershey's syrup.

:)

Smidgeon? Pigeon. You want a pigeon of Hershey's syrup? That doesn't sound so appealing.

ix-nay on the igeon-pay

On the phone with the IRS...taxes rejected for the second time...this guy has no idea what I'm talking about. Lovely.

They put my Grammy (my last grandparent) in the hospital. I guess she was having difficulty breathing, and they want to run tests. Mom called to put me on warning, because as my dad said "She's 95. She's worn out."

She lived in her own home until just recently, when dementia demanded she needed more care.

She misses Gramps. They were married 55 years when he passed away, some 20 years ago. They were something else. Friends. Buddies. In love all those years.

:sniff:

aw, shawnee :(

Oh, I am sorry, Shawnee.

That sucks beyond words, I am so sorry. :(

That sucks. I'm sorry.

Thank you. You are all very kind.

My brother-in-laws brother, R, is 46. He is a lawyer in NYC for the legal aid society. He doesn't drink or smoke and is trim. He suffered a massive heart attack at a friend's appt. in Queens---took 20 min. for them (emt, docs) to revive him and then, b/c he has no insurance, they stabilized him then shipped him off to another hosp. He's in a drug-induced coma and on ice (to slow everything down)--he's been this way for a coupla days now. Everytime they try to warm him up--he seizes.

Did I mention that he is 46? did I mention he was in a 20 min. no-go zone?

Sorry to hear that Shawnee, grandparents are extra-special. :(

Ah Shawnee. I can't mouth platitudes about the fact she's going to go to a better place because you know I don't believe it. But at 95 she must have lived a full life and obviously made an impression on you. I genuinely believe the way we live on is in the memory of others. Talk to your nieces about her. Knowing you, you took the time to hear her stories while she could still tell them.

Some people burn brightly, some flicker on. Sounds like she has had both in her life. Just feel glad she is - and has been - loved and is probably now beyond any pain and regret.

No one says it better than Sundae.

Im very sorry Shawnee.

Bri, hope everything works out for R.

lots of upsetting here. Thoughts and prayers to all whose loved ones are ill.

SATs saturday, Psych (as in the class) Exam monday AND tuesday, Math exam wednesday and thursday, performance of Eanna thursday and friday, and prom the next week - which means i need to work up the balls to ASK someone.

hell week, here i come

Where is my GODDAMN POCKET KNIFE?!

Back to finding everything but what you were looking for Bigv?
:)
If I remember correctly the last time you found it, you were looking for something else? So look for something else and you might find it?

lost love

Not as upsetting today as yesterday but....

We have this vending machine at work nicknamed "The Wheel of Death" cause it's one of the kinds that spins around, and has a tendency to make our employees not feel too good after eating from it. I've eaten from the wheel many times, and although the food is kinda gross and sometimes causes a little bit of heartburn or a small tummy ache, overall it's no big deal...just enough in yer belly to get you through the day.

Recently they've been putting in little pizzas which are actually rather edible, don't make me feel icky or anything afterward..not a 5 star meal, but edible. AND on my 5 1/2 hour shifts, they made my half hour lunch optional. Woohoo...extra half hour of pay, so I've been skipping my lunch and just grabbing a snack instead from the vending machines on my break at the end of the night.

HOWEVER, they tricked me. Goddamn vendor man switched out the good pizza with gross pepperoni-sausage-onions-and-peppers icky pizza. Ate about 1/4 with all the gross toppings and then scraped everything off and just ate the bread. What? I was hungry. Back to work..no problems...bout an hour later, I get a tummy ache.

Blech, damn pizza. Tummy ache sticks around till the end of my shift, but hey, it happens, no big deal. Get home, tummy ache worsens a bit, but still doable. Talk with adorable boyfriend on the phone, go to sleep.

Wake up at 3am and barf brains out. Repeat every half hour until 3 pm. Loving boyfriend calls around 4:30 and asks if we're still on for our plans to hang out. He finds out I've been sick and brings me mashed potatoes to settle my belly, and sits with me watching movies for the rest of the night.

My abs hurt.

Hardly. I'm as lost as they come.
Good call.

You may call off the dogs.

The fucking sock monster in my dryer must've eaten about three more socks last night.

That's just LJ gearing up for some more sock puppet hilarity.

I R not an alter!!!

My brother-in-law's brother, R, died this morning at 2a.m. due to a massive heart attack. He was 46.

Sorry, Bri. That sucks.

Ditto.

I finally sent Malibu Barbie off to greener pastures yesterday.

My corset didn't arrive.
I feel like crying. I am also very angry at the seller who did not respond to my Wednesday plea explaining that I needed the item by today. Also didn't respond to my Thursday plea asking if I could pay more for delivery to ensure delivery today. Just sent me a generic "your item will be despatched" etc ect on Thursday afternoon. Which got my hopes up, thinking they were going to get it out First Class delivery that day.

Nope. Postie has been and gone. I have the shoes. Red to match the corset. I have the skirt - really cool zip up one, black. I have the choker - black to match the skirt.

Funny how the other items got here on time.
Sob.

So tomorrow I have to go into town and try to find something else to wear. Who knows, I might find something wonderful. But it won't be a corset and I had my heart set on that.

I'm considering leaving bad feedback for the first time in my life.

ETA - they called me after I emailed them AGAIN
They have been very decent and are sending it to my home address tomorrow on a guaranteed Saturday delivery (which they are footing the bill for)

So nothing is making me unhappy!!!
Oh. Except the massive swing to the right in the council elections and the fact everyone has now agreed that Boris Johnson will be Mayor (official results tonight but exit polls and political pundits have agreed)

You know how sometimes when balancing the checkbook you can forget to carry the one and later it turns into a costly mistake. I wish I was that smart. I remembered to carry the one, unfortunately I forgot a whole freakin' month's worth of expenses and it is biting me really hard. :( :thepain: :mad:

Wait...don't you work in finance? I want to see your client list, mister...I think they'd like to know about this!

Srsly, that sucks man. I do shit like that occasionally...fortunately it's gotten better since I've started using a calculator to back up my brain.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I work as a financial advisor, that doesn't mean I'm a good bookkeeper. Totally different skillset.

yeah, a whole freakin month worth of expenses entered. I already ran payroll for the month so this is kind of a big deal. ah, whatthehell. live and learn.

Ken Livingstone lost the London mayoral election.
He was washed out in the anti-Labour landslide, despite all he has done for the city in the last 8 years. I was hoping against hope that he could hold on (and he so nearly did - it went to second preference vote) as it looks likely there will be a Conservative goverment in the next election too. At least if we had Ken, he would fight parliament on our behalf.

But the people that think only with their pockets have won the day, and voted in a buffoon to represent all our interests.

It's a sad, sad day. I am grieving.
Sorry Ken - we tried our best.

Oh for fuck's sake... Minifob just got into a boxed game of Mancala that I didn't even know we had. I know for a fact he swallowed at least one of the little playing stones (like marbles, but flattened,) and I suspect it was several more.

His poop will be bejeweled! :rolleyes:

Still sick...the consensus is that we suspect some kind of e coli was in the pizza. Had to call off work today, and they were NOT happy.

Oh, and SG, I feel your pain. Boyfriend's birthday is on monday, and I had ordered the perfect (rare and out of print!!) gift for him off ebay...won and paid for with quick shipping for an extra cushion of time...3 days later I get an email that my money was refunded...with an email saying "oh, sorry, I accidentally listed two of those, my bad." RAWRGH

As 10yo daughter went to bed, she mentioned that she felt sad because her best friend's mom had had a stroke and was in the hospital, unable to talk. Sad enough, she's probably only about 40, but when you add in the factor there's no dad because he was a soldier, took a headwound, never recovered and commited suicide you just start to feel there's no justice sometimes. She'd just started to get their lives back on track after getting the govt to admit responsibiilty and help them financially.... :cry:

d'oh! :(

There really isn't anything I can say to that, that won't sound insanely stupid.

Because sometimes, in certain situations, there really isn't any justice. You just have to fight to be happy with or without it. That's a, no matter what.

Do you know what? Sometimes I really do believe things are a matter of luck. My intellect shirks this notion..but still..

RBS strikes again.

The Royal Bank of Scotland?

:lol:

they used to be such a piss-pot little bank and now they're an international PITA

this was supposed to be an edit, not a quote -I'm knucking fackered.

Random Bad Shit. The kind of life-changing, devastating bad news you can't ever plan for or anticipate.

Thanks for the definition - I've been wondering how to categorize that.
