makare, you're making the mistake of reading anything Jay says.
Text has volume?
I wasn't going to say anything but sense the cat is out of the bag I guess there is no need to hide you from the truth. You are a loud typer and it is very annoying.

Silence your loud typing with this soundproof keyboard cover | DVICE
Don't you just hate those people who pound on their keyboards like there's no tomorrow? Right, like typing really hard is going to increase your typing speed. Oh, and the sound! Give them a hint this holiday season with this soundproof keyboard cover from Thanko.
The keyboard cover isn't magic — it slips right over any keyboard and includes a plastic see through area just in case you can't type with your eyes closed. Your hands slip into the sleeve cover which is held by what looks like a single strip of velcro. Consider our eyebrows raised at that.
You can buy your very own soundproof keyboard cover for about $36. One thing is for sure, instead of people annoyed by your loud typing, they'll laugh at you for how outrageous you look with this thing.

But does she hump the couch? My new cat does that. He humps everything. Blankets, pillows, the couch, the other cats. He tried to hump me but I just sent him off to hump something else.

Tort, the humper, humped Foster our other male cat last night. Foster just looked at me like "why is this happening?"
So dogs have been known to hump faces. I'll add that to my OHGODDAMNITDOGS list.

Holy crap! I hope he's getting the help he needs. And I hope you've gotten some help since your own incident.
He's been admitted to a hospital.
As for me...mine was a feeling of hopelessness related to a really bad and abusive situation that no one was really helping me with. After that incident though...things started to get better. It's bizarre, what has to be done to get child protective services to go from saying 'teen angst' to 'oh shit!'

That is such a shit situation sin. You are torn between your concern and wanting to help him and wanting to ring his neck for his selfishness.
Good luck and remember to take care of your own feelings first because you can't take care of others if you don't take care of yourself first. *hugs*

I don't think suicide is a selfish act.
If you are a positive presence to people, overall, then it's a selfish act. If you're a negative presence, it's a selfless one.

That's not what I mean. Yes, I'm aware that people have loved one that would miss them and such, but someone on the brink of suicide doesn't care what those people would think. They're not doing it to get attention, they're doing it because something has driven them to the end of their rope. It's not a selfish act, it's an act out of desperation.

I'm so so sorry, LS. I understand your anger, and I'm not saying it's wrong to feel that way at all. But please try to be understanding. People who are in that state of mind are often so torn and are rattled by guilt while being overwhelmed by pain. They don't want to hurt anyone. It's just hard for them. It's hard for us all, I know, but we can't imagine what some people in life have to endure. I sincerely hope that his condition improves.

Whether it actually is selfish or not is not the point. That is how a lot of people FEEL when someone close to them attempts suicide especially if that person has people who depend on them. My point was that I understand how Little Sin is feeling and dealing with those feelings is just as important as getting the guy himself help.
Thanks for the support guys.
I'm over the anger. The more I hear, the more I understand why he feels so stuck. It turns out he has a major gambling problem that he's been hiding...but now he's so far in debt that it probably looks like there's no way out for him. His wife found out and they fought about it...he ended up beating her up, blaming her for his gambling problem because they haven't had 'relations' in five years.
That isn't like him at all. He has always been such a gentle funny guy...but now he's becoming something different.
I really hope they are all able to help him.
I also hope that his wife realizes that isn't him as well and doesn't leave him.

I guess some people may find this offensive, I don't really mean it to be. Just something I need to get off my chest.
I'm getting tired of facebook status updates and people trying to use them to promote "awareness" for various issues. There have been a few before but it really seems to have ramped up recently. The bra colour thing for breast cancer, where you put your purse for...I don't even fucking remember and now, apparently, changing your profile picture to a cartoon character for child abuse. Half the time, actually I'd guess more than that even, no one knows what the fuck anyone is doing these things for.
And what the fuck is awareness anyway? EVERYONE knows that these diseases and problems exist, by posting some convoluted message in your update, or with some of them just changing your profile picture, you have effectively done the absolute smallest amount of effort yielding, I'd wager, no benefit for the cause you are trying to promote. It's lazy ass people trying to feel better about themselves without actually doing shit all. If they really wanted to help out raising money, donating or volunteering would be a much more sensible method. That would require them getting off their asses and actually contributing though.
Movember is another one of these awareness campaigns that kind of tick me off as well, the people who shit and harp on me for not growing a patchy, teenage dirtbag mustache anyway. To which I usually reply that I have already donated this year* and ask how much they have raised in pledges generally meet by blank stares. Hey, congratulations you can grow a porn star stache. You didn't do fuck all to help find a cure but please, continue to pat yourself on the back for saving time all month during your morning routine and allowing your lip fuzz to accumulate as would happen naturally anyway...
*I by no means think that the paltry amount that I donate helps much. I also don't go around bragging about it like I'm a god damn saint either.

Well Facebook would be pretty annoying if it were nothing but various groups raising funds. Facebook is a system for interacting with people socially so doing simple social things like that (which I did) makes sense on Facebook. Knowing is half the battle and those little things help with knowing.
If you are at a Child Abuse and Neglect seminar talking about the things people have done to help kids and raise awareness and someone smugly says, "well I changed my profile pic on Facebook", then that's something I would see as something worth getting upset about.
Although I feel similarly about people who shave their heads when someone they know gets cancer. I think that is one of the most absurd things in the world. But whatever makes people feel better I guess.

I figured I should update this.
My Uncle has checked himself out of the mental health facility he had been checked into..and promptly went missing. He has been calling random family members with cryptic, bat shit messages before hanging up when they try to tell him to go home.
He has been gone for over a day now. We're still getting phone calls so we know he's okay (in a manner of speaking). His pastor has also called us to say he's been a few times.
So yeh..Uncle has gone off the deep end. I oddly feel detached from this...I'm interested in whats happening. I want to hear updates and I don't want any harm to be fall him...but I just can't bring myself to care as much as some of my other family members. It's just another bizarre thing that is happening in the vicinity of me.
I know that sounds self centered but, really, weird shit seem to follow me around like...like...I can't even think of a good simile.
And, yes, I have received a phone call from him...but it was so fucking bat shit insane I don't think I can share it here with out it sounding like something that a bad writer would come up with.
Seriously, what the fuck?
