WHY DON'T YOU PUT THE CORRECT INFORMATION IN, 'CAUSE I'M WORKING OFF MY TAX FORMS SO ONE OF US HAS TO BE WRONG AND I KNOW IT'S NOT ME YOU STUPID COMPUTER PROGRAM!!!

I don't understand why we use fucking computers for important stuff like this. I'D MUCH RATHER be talking to a human being on this one.

Human beings can make just as many, if not more mistakes than computers - after all, it might be that a dumb human plugged in the wrong thing, not the computer calculating...

No, I'm angry the computer refused to communicate its intentions to me. The system they use is fail.

I really hate shopping. And, packing.

britt is leaving in 4 and a half hours... I'll admit it, I'm crying....

I hate moving.

Also, I hate astra. Plus, my new laptop and I are not agreeing.

I agree 100% tears ><

I'm such a mess again, again, like a little kettle on the fire waiting to boil. The same old thing over and over again, it's not getting better.
Just so tired of everything. I wish I could just wake up dead or something.

I hate war, and in much more than some vague, general, hippie pacifist way. Heaven knows I'm no pacifist, but when it's been over a month since I've last heard from a literary collaborator currently in Afghanistan, I'm beginning to worry something might have happened to him, and because of some idiot leaking information, security is now so tight he'll only have more trouble communicating- if he's even alive....

Yeah. I think I have some pretty concrete, specific reasons to hate war. Too bad we can't get everyone to agree to stop waging it.

i hate being seen as someone just to fuck, i have feelings. you know that, Bitches. makes me want to go kill myself sometimes.

I hate war, and in much more than some vague, general, hippie pacifist way

Meaning? I hate war because it's problematic to any attempt to do things diplomatically, it takes away lives of those who are loved by many, it creates disruptions amongst the classes/social structures of the countries involved, it consumes our resources, and it wastes money. Money spent on killing people is not money well spent.

So being i'm a pacifist, how is that argument vague?

You know what I hate? People belittling my beliefs and claiming theirs have more value just 'cause they have different experiences. I'll be honest, war sucks and it's not fair what happened to your friend. I am against war because it does things like what happened to your literary collaborator, and I'm certainly a pacifist.


That said, I also hate that I am not going to school this semester to save money, but the economy is in a shitty place so I'm not actually saving any money 'cause of my medications. When's this Universal Healthcare gonna kick in? I want some Berlin Meds. I'm sick of paying 30$+ a month for my heart meds.

I hate when people try to pick fights with me. If you're a pacifist, be a pacifist, and leave the admitted non-pacifists alone.

Pacifism only works if everyone agrees to it, and they practice it consistently.

And it's hard to refute my belief that nobody hates war more than people who've been there. Next up are people with friends or loved ones fighting. Why? Because we know from experience exactly what there is to hate about war.

It doesn't make things any easier that we're at the five year anniverssary of when my brother-in-law went missing. Five years after Hurricane Katrina, he's kind of gotten his life back together. Wish I could say the same about everyone there.

This thread is not for belittling other users, and that goes in either direction. I will see the two of you stop bickering, or you will see your posts magically vanish.

End of anouncement, have a nice day.

Seconding Freak's warning, with teeth. This is over.

And now, back to our regularly scheduled ass.


Nine months ago, with of course those best intentions that always get you into trouble, we adopted a little rescue dog. We were told her previous owner, an elderly man in a wheelchair, had to go into a nursing home and the local groomer/busybody in the town where I work had taken her in to find her a home. Well, this dog lived in the groomer’s kennel for 3-4 months, and then I came along. We had recently euthanized my dad’s dog of 14 years, who I’d picked out as a puppy and my husband and I had adopted when my dad retired and moved. Our dog was used to having a companion, so we took the plunge and took this dog.

Of course, we noticed immediately she wasn’t housebroken, had aggression/jealousy issues and had some very… odd… behaviors (like peeing in her food dish). I also have the sneaking suspicion she may have been abused by some of her fear/anxiety reactions. We started working with her and resolved to give her time to adjust.

Fast forward.

Now I’m six months pregnant, this dog will not stop being crazy, fighting with my dog, or peeing in my house and I’m genuinely worried about how she’ll act around a baby since she’s incredibly unpredictable. We looked around to see if anyone wanted a general outdoor or farm dog, since she does like being outdoors – no luck. We checked the local no-kill shelters – all full. We checked the breed rescue – snotty bastards. We talked to the vet, to the Scrawlers Pet Expert Paws, to everyone we knew. Finally I talked to the groomer who gave us the dog to see if she could take her back and try again.

She told us to have the dog euthanized. And now, of course, she tells me the details. The old owner’s family had refused to take that dog because of her behavioral issues. She got her name, Nipper, because she’d always been a biter. She wouldn’t trust the dog around babies. The dog was housebroken, so the inside urination was probably a behavioral problem/territorial marking because she’d never lived with another animal before.

So today, Nipper will be no more. I feel incredibly guilty, even though I know we’ve gone above and beyond the call of duty to try to help this dog.

*hugs Slarti* You did the best you could for her, you can't do more then that so try not to beat yourself up too much about it *hugs again*

My ass is pretty minor, moving still sucks ><

RIP Nipper:( You gave her so many chances, you shouldn't feel guilty. But it still sucks:(

I'm so sorry Slarti! You did your damndest, to help the poor creature though.

Also - Jury duty? sucks. And that is the understatement of the year.

I'm seconding the moving sucks thing... even though I moved, like, Saturday. I moved to Chciago and am on the 15th floor... Well, on Saturday, you couldn't get down the elevator because everyone was going up, so I took the stairs. Twice. Now, my calves are killing me. And, they aren't getting less sore because I have to climb the ladder to my loft and walk everywhere. ><

...I fucking well got mugged.

Though, to be fair, you should have seen the other guy

i have the runs, fever, chills and cramps as well. yay?

One fucking bad day leads into another fucking bad day, guess what, knowing my fucking luck tomorrow will be fucking horrible too, especially since i'll be the only one working that day. FML!

There is a campground and boat ramp in the direct path of an active and potentially, imminently serious landslide in one of my districts. All the emergency personel there have demanded that the campground, boat ramp, and the roads there be closed down for everyone's safety.

Only the boat ramp was closed down.

I got told off at work for punching a guy who called the president a muslim. When I pointed out that he said something racist that offended me, they stopped giving me shit about it though.

(Not in the face, but it was a srs biznis side jab).

The whole story is that he said "The President--if you can call him that ((what else would you call him? The Febreeze expert? No. He's the god damn president, anyways!--)) is totally a muslim."

me:
"No, he is absolutely not."

"How do YOU know?"

Me:
"'Cause I don't get my information from Glenn Beck."

"What's a real credible source these days anyways?"

Me:
"Anything not Fox News is usually redeemable in most ways."

"I don't buy that. Sorry, Hussein Obama is a fucking Shiite Muslim."

Me:
"Stop fucking say that. You're being racist."

"I'm being racist 'cause I'm pointing out a man's secret religion?"

Me:
"Islam is a secret religion?"

"Whut?"

Me:
"Islam? The Religion? The Muslim people believe in ISLAM."

"Whatever, he's an Islamy, Muslim, bastard, and I didn't vote for-OW! Fuck! That hurt!"

Me:
"Shut the FUCK UP or it'll be a real punch!"

Manager:

"WHAT THE FUCK Tyler why did you hit him?"

Me:
"he's a donkey dick?"
