Rant VII: Now With 25% Less Drama

[Tress]

After a big rainstorm yesterday I went out to the backyard of my parents' house to help clean up. I went into the garage to get some tools, and that's when I saw a very special container I had been keeping at their house. The bin has clear sides, so I could see all the water that was sitting at the bottom of the supposedly water-proof container. I quickly opened up the seal and frantically dug through the contents. The container was where I stored some classic comic books that were given to me by my uncle when I was a kid, some of my own old comics, and some valuable keepsake stuff from high school. All paper products, and I would say that 50% was completely water damaged (despite each individual comic book being supposedly seal in plastic).

So, to review, the roof of my parents' garage sprang a leak during the storm. A supposedly water-tight container filled with water despite being sealed. No other container that was stored on top of it, under it, or next to it leaked. Roughly half the comics inside, which were individually bagged and should have been protected also, allowed water in and damaged the comics. Some of them were quite old and valuable.

I'm still so fucking angry I want to go on a rampage smashing things in my house. I think the random, ridiculous nature of it all is what has me most upset.

Man that truly sucks Tress


I can't imagine how I would feel if something like that happened to my collection of games

 

[Tress]

Thanks. It just shouldn't have happened. About 5 things had to go wrong together at just the precise wrong time.

My dog died. My parents woke my brother up to drive to the emerg and put him down (when they found out he had internal bleeding), but no one told me until I got a call at work the next day! Sad day.

Gah, I hate doctors and especially going to the lab for blood tests. I had to take this particular test to rule out diabetes as a cause for my high blood sugar, and it involved drinking a high-glucose drink that tasted like someone had mixed fruit juice, glue, Mountain Dew and five pounds of sugar, and getting needled three times for blood to check how my body reacted over the next two hours. The smalls of my elbows look like I'm a junkie...

On the bright side, got a brand new scale. I actually weigh 15-20 pounds less than I did two years ago.

 

[Baerdog]

I got kicked out of my office so a TRAINEE could work in there and NONE of my bosses so much as thought it might be NICE to talk to me about it AT ALL.

Just one day of hell out of many, but no more.

Here was my day yesterday.
I was called by my older brother who asked if mom called me yet
when I asked why he said dad got started taking certain medication.
NOW this medication he wasn't supposed to be taking anymore but he had some leftover from when he was on it.
This medicine cause major issues when he takes it. It makes him hallucinate, he will not remember taking the medication so he takes more, and it can cause seizures.
So back to what happened my dad took way to much medicine, and over course wasn't acting right.
My mom finally called me and said she took the medicine and hid it.
I ask where she was she said she was hiding from him to call.
She wanted me to come and take the medicine and hold on to it until later.
I told if I came over I was going to flush the medicine because he was not supposed to even be taking it. She wanted to see if he starts feeling better she wanted to give him it to help him sleep.
I told her it was stupid she could kill him.
I told her that she needs to flush it. But she did not want to flush it because he gets mad.
This debate went on for a very very long time.
I asked if I needed to come by she said no.
I told her I would flush it and I would be the SOB who flushed if he asked.
She said no. She kept saying she wanted to keep it so he could take it at night if he needed it.
I got so fed-up with this whole ordeal it was now almost 4hrs in.
I told her she should do it yes kill him. Heck why not it is a perfect way to one he has sleep apnea, two asthma, three blood pressure issues, and last but not least it can give him seizures. So heck go for it. If she wants to kill him just do it. She yelled at me and said I was a jerk I shouldn't have said that. And that she loves him and would never try to kill him. I told her if she gave the medicine she would be killing him. So if she truly loved him she flushes the medicine. She got off the phone very mad. But not even 30 minutes later she called my older brother and said she flushed it. Which I am glad she did. I know she is still hurt what I said. I told her I was sorry for being rude I was just was tired of the BS. She is still hurt with what I said. My father called my older brother and apologized but they never called and apologized to me. The last thing I heard was my dad never wanted to see us kids again. I really don't care I still love them I know it isn't them. But this drama is old been it has been one thing to the next for over ten years. And yes this wasn't the first for the medicine issue. The only difference is she actually flushed it this time. So all said I am glad I will be leaving Washington and moving to Oregon just in time to start a new year and a new life.
I can only hope this is a wake-up call for my parents.

Thanks for letting me vent.

Cheers.

Chaz, do you get better orgasms when you act like a tool, or is it research for your class?

Some habits die hard. Some just refuse to die.

 

[Cajungal]

heeheeheee

 

[phil]

my dog has been having seizures today. Luckily they haven't been all that big but it's still a reminder that he doesn't have that much time left. I just hope that when he does go it's not during one of his seizures.

 

[Hailey Knight]

I hope not too.

Ours went during her last one.

 

[Cajungal]

Me too. All you can hope is that a dear old pet goes peacefully. When our family cat Yogurt died, she was a ripe old age. We found her in her favorite spot under a tree in the yard. She looked just like she did every afternoon, dozing peacefully. It was sad, but I was glad she seemed to go without any pain.

 

[phil]

Thanks

He's doing much better today. I was able to take him for a walk and while he's having some trouble eating he IS eating. I think the worst has come to pass this time around and hopefully it'll be another 6months to a year before he has another fit. I just don't know how he'll handle it next year, assuming he's still here. I think he has that long left but he'll be about 12 by then so it's hard to say.

 

[makare]

I guess the so called reverend Phelps and is psycho minions are going to be in my town on Monday. One of my profs, the former JAG lawyer, is really fuming. This should be good.

 

[LittleSin]

NOOOOOOOO!

My video is gone! All of it is gone! I worked 6 hours on this fucking thing!

FUCK YOU COMPUTER!

.....I can't believe I'm going to have to re-record all of this.

 

[Cajungal]

Oh, man, that sucks. I'm sorry.

 

[makare]

Holy crap on a cracker it is cold in my classroom today. I'm wearing jeans and a jacket and I might as well be naked.


So cold. Sigh.

 

[Krisken]

Wut?

 

[Espy]

Oh come on Krisken. You've heard of a 90 degree angle.

 

[Terrik]

Maybe it's another funny Chinese word problem because 90=jiu shi 九十, and it sounds like 就死...(die now)....amirite? It wouldn't surprise me. I keep being told I live on the Hell floor (18)

 

[Denbrought]

all the walls in my new office are off by one or two degrees from being 90. There is no way I can put things flush against the wall if it is near the corner. This same aversion to 90 degrees applies to every room in this building, including the urinal separators and parking spaces.

That sounds like a plan to drive the occupants slowly insane.

 

[Krisken]

Oh come on Krisken. You've heard of a 90 degree angle.

Yes, but I had no idea what it was in reference to. Glad that worry is now over

 

[Espy]

lol, I know, I was just being silly.

I'm not always super serious.

 

[makare]

One of my high school classmate's sisters got drunk last weekend fell down a flight of stairs and broke her neck. She was only 25.

And one of my sisters friends who is also the mother of a little boy I used to care for at the daycare is dying as I write this of cancer. She only has an hour or so left.

It is a really depressing day.

 

[Hylian]

Man that really sucks makare


I hope things get better for you soon *insert e-hug here*

 

[Krisken]

Egads, that's awful! I'm sorry to hear it, makare. :hug:

 

[Chazwozel]

*snip*

Really, Chaz? Fucking really? Read it to yourself again and ask why what you said wasn't being an asshole.

 

[LittleSin]

Ouch, Chaz.

Even if a friend of mine did something stupid that got themselves killed, I'd still mourn.

Just ouch. That was cruel.

 

[Denbrought]

Aw mak, that sounds very sucky

*group e-hug*

*stupidity snip*[/QUOTE]

I don't think she intends to mourn the stupidity of her classmate's sister. Rather, I think she would be inclined to feel compassionate and sympathetic of her friend's pain.

Whether or not you agree with the rant, makare certainly feels bad enough about it without having her feelings questioned.

 

[makare]

I guess having chaz on ignore is really the gift that keeps on giving.

Thanks to everyone else though. It's really a sad thing especially this time of year.

 

[Chazwozel]

Let's see... revenge fantasies based off of news articles, check. Making fun of Darwin Awards candidates, check. Super-hindsight towards situations, check. Yep, you've all done the same things I have. Get off your fucking high horses. Yes, I was intentionally being a jerk to makare. I don't like her. She does the same thing to me all the time. You're telling me some of you don't have an ounce of schadenfreude when something bad happens to me? I know she'd purse her fat lips in glee and waddle around the room in a happy-dance before exhaustion. So once again fuck off.

Dave, how bout another dead baby in the washing machine joke?

Come to think of it, I'll put her on ignore as well. I'm sick of hearing her constant whining over every boring detail of her equally boring life.
