Darth Krawlie Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Lyra has some struggles learning new things a decent amount of the time. One of the things she does that really frustrates both of us is she feigns ignorance and helplessness around men. She'll do something perfect all day, and then I come home from work and suddenly she needs help. I don't know if she's just trying to get attention from me or what, but she does it around both her grandpas too. And it's not like I do anything to foster this.

monkeygirl Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I love my tankless. What's to hate?everyone I've talked to says it takes them FOREVAR to get to the hot-that it literally takes minutes for the tap water to get hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Ray Kenobi Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Using this soapbox to vent:My anxiety has come back with an extreme and violent vengeance this past week. I was doing really good for over a year, but there were a lot of life events and bad luck two weeks ago that seems to have triggered it and brought it out of the woodwork.The last time around I was experiencing a lot of self-doubt and self-hatred because I was hard on myself about my career and accomplishments. I'd learned not to put too much stock on that and instead focus on the relationships and people in my life. Now that's the problem this time around. Two weeks ago, two of my best friends broke it off in pretty bad ways with their respective significant others. It just sort of shellshocked me to see how quickly people I thought were important in life just disappeared and cut me off. It made me wonder how long my existing relationships can or will last. All of my time and investment building them could ultimately mean nothing in the long run.Last night I had a horrific panic attack. My wife and I were out watching fireworks and all of a sudden I just couldn't function or deal with anything. I had to run home and I just sat quietly in my office room for over an hour before I could even come outside and talk about anything. It just really bothered me when I saw families and friends out and enjoying themselves. I realized that the important people in my life were all out doing fun things and I wasn't a part of it. I know it's not logical, but I just became instantly horrified that I could be drifting away from them in some shape or form.Now today I've been running circles in my mind mounting evidence of how unimportant I am. Retracing events in which I wasn't invited, was forgotten, or didn't matter. I may be on to something, or I may be totally illogical about it. I don't know.It's horrible. I wouldn't wish this on anybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 That's all classic anxiety. I used to get caught in head loops all the time, rethinking events over and over, having arguments with people in my head. It super sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc DuQuesne Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 My son just walked in an said "I've decided there are two things I need to quit doing.

Marc DuQuesne Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 No, 9. He's either way ahead of the curve or way behind it. I certainly wasn't able to make myself the butt of a joke at 9. Hope he isn't making those cracks at Burger King later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Pop-punk bands deserve a lot of respect. It's really hard to merge two completely different types of music and make it suck so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Robin Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 A few years ago I wrote a 120 page "short story" which starts out feeling like a "bad dad/hangover" comedy in journal form, then spirals into madness involving possible alien involvement leading up to the lead going missing. I wrote it in 140 character pieces, yep, Twitter style. I started posting it but made a crucial miscalculation in my release idea... in order for the story to feel real, War of the Worlds style, I used my own Twitter and had already calculated the time needed between posts to account for events to occur and travel time. Less than a handful of posts in I scared my son to his core, I hadn't realize he was following me. Oops. So that project ended, but maybe one day on a fake account.

Marc DuQuesne Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 My old boss keeps sending friends of mine that work for him to see if I'm interested in coming back. Two different guys in the last two weeks. I really hate the dead end job I am at, and I took a substantial pay cut to make the switch, but I don't ever want to work for that guy again. I thought I burned the bridge good too. Last time I saw him I spent 3 minutes screaming at him, telling him exactly what I thought of him, then threw my work phone on his desk and said "fuck you, we're done". I wish the ****er would quit tempting me. I know I could get myself a $10/hr raise out of him and it's hard to turn that down now matter how much I hate him.

Guest Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I know one of those! My new job may be the best job ever. I got a call from a guy worried that insurance companies aren't properly rating policies for the danger posed by Nazis. To clarify: this is in no way related to neo-Nazis. Purely actual Nazis who are going to be launching another war from Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destiny Skywalker Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 For you guys following the saga with my mom, the rehabilitation hospital got her a bed in their long-term care unit. I'm so thankful, the other options were frankly terrifying. Even moving her out here was going to be scary given all the violations I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
