Thread: Rant and Rave, Cry and Complain

haha- this thread reminded me that I've dreamed of lizards recently. No idea why lol. I think I was going to eat them :O I was telling someone about when I used to wear Puerto Rican lizards on my ears as earrings to freak my mom out. When I finally caught a Floridian lizard to do the same after we moved, I discovered Florida lizard have teeth that rather hurt The 2 in my dream looked like the Floridian lizard.
True story

My rant is the heat and a strange headache near my left temple. It comes and goes and just throbs. Maybe I banged my head in my sleep.
We've also been having power surges and 840-1000+ people in my County are still without power (the reports vary).

I also feel like an ass. I take a short cut through a parking lot to get from one certain road to another (it's common practice). There was a kid barfing. His face was extremely red. He was a little chubby, maybe 10 years old. I should have stopped to see if he was okay, but his grandma (or someone) was with him and I didn't want to overstep my bounds. You could tell it was from the heat. Poor kid. I hope he's okay.

You meant you really hang a lizard on your ears as earrings? Because you were talking about dreams one moment and then about another the next moment.

It's okay. The kid had his grandma beside him, he'll be fine.

Lizards are cool. Gotta respect the big ones.



Oh... am I supposed to rant about something? ...nah, life's pretty good right now. But I had to post a picture.

Crammed all my physics studying for the weekend, awesome.

The story was real. I was retelling it in the dream as I did here
I was 7-10 years old when I lived in Puerto Rico. I played with the tarantulas but was terrified of the bullfrogs (they were poisonous if you ate them or touched them and then your mouth). I loved the lizards and they were easy to catch.
In Florida (Pensacola) there weren't many lizards and the ones I saw were extremely fast.

If you flick the lizard gently on the mouth, its mouth opens and then you can attach them to things (like your ears lol). Good times... good times...

My rant is that we keep losing power. My fuse blew once and we've had power surges several times.

The last time my mum saw a lizard, she screamed, I screamed and she burned the lizard alive with our water heater. So basically she stood there for a long time holding the shower head.

My Rant: Two companies promised to give me a reply by this week and one even promised to give me a reply regardless I'm accepted into the company or not. But the week has ended and there was still no reply. Next week... I wonder...

Not with those words

The part where I don't usually kill bugs? Since I don't have the courage to kill bugs, I doubt I have the courage to kill lizards. But I think I can be charged with the dead crime of many lives since birth, including the meat I every other day.

My laptop doesn't charge anymore. :C I'm gonna have to switch back over to my desktop until this gets fixed....

Well true, you were not the one who killed the lizard. I'm overreacting this

It just makes me sad that some people value bugs more than certain animals... and not talking about you here.

Try getting new plugs and cables? Or it's the laptop that is faulty?

The last time my cables were faulty, I almost went nuts because it was a day before submission. Fortunately my friend had spare and I made sure that my cables were the faulty ones, not my laptop because all my work are inside.

Yeah, it's the laptop, not the charger itself. It's pretty busted up. >.>

Oh lol it's called charger. I wasn't able to recall the name just now.

Hope your lappy gets well soon.

Thanks! Hopefully it won't take too long, this is happened before, but then for that same reason it may be harder to fix this time.... Oh well, my desktop isn't so bad.

Heh. I'm on the desktop now, and when I first tried coming to DV it wouldn't load any pages, and I started thinking "Oh shit!!". Then I realized I still had the change the hosts file back from when the Russians attacked. It has been a while since I touched this thing....

Your desktop probably missed being touched the way you touch your laptop...

I used to know a guy who worked at Dell (just north of me) who had an A+ connection. His download speed was more than twice mine here and his upload speed was between six and ten times mine.

Sigh...sorry Dave.

I got a "D" on that test. /FirstWorldProblems

More like "Rural Area" problems. And some sites tack on a "rural surcharge" for shipping -.- IT'S NOT THAT RURAL!

Speed test normally gives us an A+ (for Comcast) with 35Mbps Down and 6 up. On Wednesday, a storm blew through and broke something on Comcast's end because now our speeds are dismal. Lots of packets are being lost somewhere. Hopefully the fix it soon, I can barely browse DV at this speed, let alone upload a pic or watch a video.

I heard about all the weather north and east of Texas. Sucks.

It will get better.

I heard about family members in Indiana being without power for 6 straight days (as of Wednesday).
