Rant and Rave, Cry and Complain

**dutchraptor** · 07-11-2012 04:11 PM

Febreze is horrible. Everywhere in Ireland is febreze. I walk into a friends house it smells like febreze, the tables are cleaned with febreze, I wouldn't be surprised of they washed their clothes with it. But seriously people complain about flourinated water giving you cancer, but no one mentions febreze.

lol, fair enough. Still better than the shit I'd smell otherwise.

I don't even want to get near to him. He's an inhabitant in the garbage dump. Do all guys get smelly when they grow old? My mum's complaining about my dad getting smelly too.

**Wolfwood** · 07-11-2012 04:53 PM

I think old people in general smell. When I was a carer, that was never proven otherwise lol.

**Carrot** · 07-11-2012 04:56 PM

My grandma doesn't smell.

**Wolfwood** · 07-11-2012 04:58 PM

Certainly an exception. Besides, is she 'old'? The old people I cared for were nearly always 80+ yrs.

**Carrot** · 07-11-2012 05:04 PM

76/77, nearly 80. I have a clean freak mum, how much less can you expect of my grandma?

**Ekyu** · 07-11-2012 05:07 PM

Old people have that strange smell, it's like they use perfume from 50 years ago.

**Zhaylin** · 07-11-2012 05:08 PM

I hate febreeze too. My youngest son looks at me like I'm an alien because of it

Carrot, my hubby is 68 years old and he doesn't smell in the least. But he's VERY picky about cleanliness . He complains a lot about smelly people though. He connects it more to obesity than old age.

Dianeva, come as often as you like

I hope you feel better soon.

My rant is that I had excess phlegm in my throat all day yesterday. Now I have a sore throat and my nose is stuffed up. It's just allergies from sleeping with the mutts, but it's going to drive me bonkers anyway.

Oh, and I wasn't thinking Jumanji (that was the kid movie with Robin Williams (?) wasn't it?).
I wish I remembered more about the movie. It was a dark flick. People did die. I don't even recall when or where I watched it lol.

Very true. What was I thinking? ;o

But I don't think my mum got her clean fetish from my grandma. My grandma is reasonably clean. Both of us get scolded by my mum all the time for being not as clean. o.o

This game may just be one of those things that comes and goes that's supposed to help you, but it's pretty intriguing. I've seen things KIND OF like it before, but not quite in the way that they approach it. It's a self-help planner that's in the form of an adventure game, with quests, bad-guys, power-ups, etc.

This TED talk talks all about it; I'll let her rant to you!

She's pretty cool.

The top 5 regrets by those on their death bed was interesting.

Number 1. read: I wish I hadn't worked so hard.

See, I won't regret being lazy, not taking life seriously, and not working hard.

Wu wei/wei wu wei.

Exactly! Yay us!

In other news, I agree that Febreze is awful. It (like many artificial scents) triggers my migraines. If it physically hurts my brain, what is it doing to the rest of me?! I can't use plug-ins, either, or certain handsoap fragrances. The only thing I can really use are non-toxic lead-free soy-based candles. Thankfully we have an Ohio-based candle company that makes all of their candles to those standards. A bit pricey, yes, but they're amazing candles.

I was just freshening up for my pdoc appointment when I noticed 2 things: 1) I woke up 2 hours ago, but I still have lines on my face from my pillow lol 2) Beneath my left eye and on the inner corner of my upper eyelid is a dried substance that looks freakishly like blood. Very, very strange.

Blah... gotta run.

Anti-rant: I found another pack of cigarettes

anyway my rant. I decided to ride my sisters bicycle to other town so I walked to her house and borrowed it. about 7 into the 17 miles a pedal broke off and I had to walk the bike the rest of the way. after awhile though I started to sit on it and push on the side with the broken pedal like a skateboard then coast but this lead to my balls hurting for a few days.

Somehow I managed to exceed my mobile data allowance for this month and now I have to pay an extra £10.80... How this happened is beyond me... F*** the iPhone, f*** my carrier and f*** everything!

Yup. And because of my lungs I couldn't really go out and do anything; I should be able to change things up a bit now that I'm feeling better though.

forgot to pay last months phone bill so now I have to pay two month's worth all once. >_<

**SnowyCat** · 07-11-2012 11:51 PM

Once my brother febreze-ified my sisters car, and the smell got so bad she actually passed out and crashed.
she was okay though... f*ck febreze.

**OldNutter** · 07-12-2012 01:21 AM

So.... after a dentist appointment, pulling my back muscle and still working, it being the hottest, most humid day yet this summer, and my boss leaving for 5 days while we do renovations, I asked myself.... can this day get any worse. The answer was yes. Yes it can. Coming back from work, the cops blew past me going top speed, I though nothing of it. When I get to town, I find out my cousin got into an accident. Everyone is ok... but.... Fuck :/ Not the greatest way to end high school for her.

**ThePreserver** · 07-12-2012 04:05 AM

I wish my family wasn't as messy as they are; while I'm not perfect (I have one small table covered in stuff, as does everyone in my family, we each have "our table") my brother has a PILE of empty soda cans by his end of the couch, the basement is now FULL of his shit (his room is unwalkable, and it's twice the size of my clean room) and the computer room is overflowing with mostly his crap. Our two-car garage can only fit one vehicle thanks to all of his clutter, and once my sister moved out, he turned her room into his gun room.

Meanwhile, I have one 8x12 room and a small table. Everything of MINE fits.
