Thread: Rant and Rave, Cry and Complain

People actually use the ignore list?

Oh

I remember that I used 'ignore' once. On chat. At Psychomatters or something.

I didn't know there was an ignore list.

I am sooooooo sleepy, but the pup pissed on my bed again and I didn't have the plastic sheet down (because she peed on it right before the power outage). I scrubbed it a great deal, but there's still no way I'm sleeping on it.
I don't know what she has against my bed but it's getting on my last nerve.
I usually catch her before she goes. For some reason, before she pees, she likes to dig at my blankets until they're under her like she's going to hump them :shrug: The moment she starts digging, I take her outside.

A major anti-rant is that my new credit card works with Netflix, so we're signed up again which my boys are overjoyed about (and for those who may have forgotten, I do NOT receive State child support. It comes straight from my ex-hubby's wages. Tax dollars aren't being squandered )

I need to drive out to the Farm some time before Friday. My daughter informed me today that the CPS worker is going to accompany the facility worker for the home "inspection". If it was just the facility worker, no problem. I told her the house wasn't the cleanest and there's trash all over the yard. She said, no problem. They just want to see where she'd be staying in case she ran off while on a home visit. The CPS worker, on the other hand, will give the place the "white glove test". CPS can bite me. I'm really sick of dealing with them.
The house isn't that bad. It'll take me a couple of hours to get the whole place clean. But there's NOTHING I can do about the trash short of filling up my new car with it and bringing it into town. That ain't happening.
Well, it could, but my boys will have to re-bag it all first.

Ugh...

Hurry up and get here 9AM. The Dollar Tree will open up, I can get another mattress cover and then go to bed!!!

hehee, thanks Alyzarin The placebo effect (affect) is already kicking in
I'm very grateful not to be allergic to any meds (that I'm aware of).

Anyway, You called me up from wherever it is you live? Asia I'm guessing? lol. Anyway, you called me and were asking me which town I lived in Kansas because you were coming to my state for some reason and we were gonna meet up and hang out. haha. I remember I was totally excited in the dream that I was gonna have a DV friend here in RL. I was also telling you that we could go get some tea somewhere. I normally wouldn't ask you if you wanted to go get tea, it would've been coffee, but I don't know. Weird, huh? I suppose I should've posted this in the member dreams area, but whatever.

Hot/Ice blended chocolate for me. ^^

I'm a kid.

Walking outside yesterday, barefoot. Stepped on a snail

On the IRC, yeah, but not on the actual forum, at least for me. xP It makes chat much more tolerable, and I won't get kicked or anything for getting into a flame war or anything. Not that I'm the type to get into those. There are just some people I want to strangle their necks in that chat. *whistles innocently*

Bah! I was too tired to be my usual germaphobe self. I smelled the mattress, it was fine, so I laid my sheets and went to sleep despite having taken 2 Energy Tabs ("natural" caffeine which tends to give me the jitters and keep me up longer). I only got 4 1/2 hours of sleep, but it was good sleep. I woke up smiling at one point because of a pleasant dream I've forgotten- and then Cocoa gave me kisses and I was all "Ewww, poopy breathe dog stop kissing me" but I fell right back to sleep and then had a less than pleasant dream about 2 women who were supposed to be friends but one of them was setting up the other for some sort of fall in their business.

My rant is that I woke up with the worlds worse heartburn/acid reflux from going to sleep right after taking those energy pills. AND Speedway is still closed. I need more minutes for my cellphone but I buy them there for the bonus points, so I'm going to wait. Hopefully, they'll be open Thursday because I'll need the points that evening to speak with my youngest daughter.
Oh yeah... and it's finally flea season I always disregard my pillow in my sleep by scootching below it and then one of the dogs sleeps on it above my head. I woke up so early, not because of the reflux etc but because Cocoa was scratching the fleas and I felt a couple jump onto me.
So now the war begins.

I'll try the standard methods of drops, sprays, collars, but I'll likely be sleeping in DEET until early Winter :/

Ugh, fleas.

I watched a friend's dogs a year or two ago, and apparently they had fleas because my house got infested after just 3 days with the dogs. All three cats got 'em, and I got bit up real bad. I was living with my ex at the time, and she didn't get bit at all. But I was covered, and started feeling real sick. I had to bomb the entire house and wash all the cats.

We used frontline on the cats, but not as often as we should because they're all indoor cats. I think I got bit more than the cats, it was ridiculous...

the perks of rarely talking in #DV.

Yeah, it's flea time over here too. I've been giving each dog a flea bath twice a month, and we got the shaggy one clipped and dipped at the groomers the other day, and he's got fleas again! I've been using this stuff from Wal-Mart called Hartz - Ultraguard, but I don't think it's working. And I've pulled 2 tiny ticks off the little one, like 2 days after her last flea bath + treatment! So Danny got some stuff at Home Depot to spray outside the house, and inside along the trim. If THAT doesn't work, I'm calling the exterminator because this is ridiculous. And it's not exactly getting any cooler.. not for at least 4 more months. Texas summers are brutal, and this one started early. Already got in the 100's several days in a row in JUNE. Had to get an A/C repairman to look at the unit, it's going to need some work. And we bought a window unit that works wonders on most of the house, just not the bedrooms. I'm sure our electric bill is going to be ridiculous.

AND THEN, yesterday I got my ghetto bootie on the treadmill like a good girl, and before I even started, my headphones somehow pulled a dime-sized chunk of hair out of my head down to the roots!I even had a headache on that side of my head for the night. I almost didn't get on the treadmill after that, because I was feeling sorry for myself lol. Then I thought, you know what, I'm tired of being a slave to my own personal discomfort. So I got on it anyway, and actually felt much better afterwards. Still, my first baldspot lol. Reminds me of the story I hear alot, when my aunt Kate was 3 and got an entire ringlet caught in grandma's electric egg beater!!! Poor thing. Those were probably some hairy cookies.

God what a ramble.

omg ophelia i love you

i love you too schnookums

I'll never forget the day I first fixed my mum's laptop. Ever since then, any problem = I caused it. Sometimes I have to hold my phone away from my ear, and then sing a song n dance.... until she stops. Looks like I'll be there on the weekend to turn up the brightness or move the taskbar back to its original position.

For the last week, my school has made me participate in this thing called the business challenge. I've hated every moment of it, but at least it ends very soon!!!
Also, I may get some money out of it, but more importantly: it ends very soon!!!

Grr, a new weight gain powder has made me break out something fierce. -grumble-

Haha I know the feeling. My parents are extremely paranoid when the internet stops working. My dad will cut down trees, open windows, restart his laptop, clean his wardrobe and probably even move the cat just to get a better signal. Then I come along and I turn on the plug.

rofl DutchRaptor. I know how that is, but it's usually me rescuing the kids

New rant: Houseflies. There's at least 3 of those buggers in my bedroom. I took a nap earlier and the bastards kept landing on my face while the fleas nibbled my neck. So I burritoed myself in a sheet then pulled my bandanna over my eyes and nose. Then it was too hot to be comfortable. But I still managed to somehow sleep for 2 hours.

Sefalik, Ophelia... bugs used to not bother me. Then I gained 50 pounds and became tastier I think The fleas don't tend to bother the cats as much either. Strange.
I've tried all those pesticides (except the yard/house treatment which I can't afford and neither the vet dips). The only thing that worked last year was spraying my bed and myself with OFF before going to sleep. The bugs didn't bother me but that CANNOT be very healthy!

for Ophelia's painful bald spot. But WTG going through with your workout!!

I can't imagine living in the heart of the heat wave. It's been in the 90's here (100+ with heat index some days), but it could be much worse. My window unit AC can't keep up with the heat and turning it below 78 blows a fuse. It feels closer to 86 in my room.

Oh well, it is what it is...

Don't you love us old people who don't know dick about computers

Oh, I didn't realize you had a little pet name for me...

I had a bowl of raisin bran crunch for breakfast today, but since I had nothing for dinner, I had two more bowls this evening. MISTAKE! My intestines are trying to escape my body right now. FIBER OVERLOAD D:

TMI, Preserver...

Bah. My rant is that I had some form of dream recall this morning, but got swept up in the day before I wrote anything down. And now it's totally gone! It's not that the dreams were particularly interesting... I know they weren't (but that's a rant of its own). It's that I'm really, truly trying to establish the habit, and I messed up.

I guess my other, smaller rant is that I've had no lucid dreams, and only a slight improvement to recall since I started this. But I'm patient, I can deal. I think I'll try using autosuggestion to wake up after EVERY dream... who cares if I'm tired the next day, I've got nothing going on.

I like how if you don't find a single stupid little occupation you could have fulfilling, there must be something wrong with you.

I guess today I can pull out my generic rant about how I am lonely and bored and wasting my life away.

Nah that's enough I'm going to bed, plus I am way too well off to be ranting. Wait, I already did. Now I really feel like posting a Picard facepalm.

This is how I feel about life right now:
