I didn't say shit about your personal issues. I gave you shit for your response to HLJ. Yesterday. If memory serves I have only given you shit one other time which was months ago.

Every hour on the hour. Do you listen to yourself?

Are you saying you don't give people shit for their personal issues. [period?]

....or just that you don't do it every hour on the hour?

monster 06-10-2010 09:59 AM

I'm fed up with being taken for granted and criticised when I'm not on top form. Hello world, I'm not paid for this shit you know..... a thank you would get you a lot further than a shitty email. you fucked up, don't shoot the goddamn messenger

oops, was I ranting again?

lumberjim 06-10-2010 10:19 AM

yes, and thank you for doing it. I want you to know that I appreciate what you do for us. Take yourself out to lunch today as a reward. And have dessert too.

lookout123 06-10-2010 10:36 AM

Monster, I'm going to assume that your post is based on real life irritations, not the drama in this thread. If I'm wrong and it is the thread, then you have my sincere apologies for upsetting you.

Now back on topic. After being declared free and clear of my skin cancer for 4 whole months... I have 2 new spots. The upside is they are matching spots on each forearm so I'll have some cool new scars there.

monster 06-10-2010 11:03 AM

hehe no it was the real life assholes. I just had hashbrowns and bacon to cheer myself up but I put too much oil in the pan so the hash brown were greasy. There's a cake in the oven because my friends are coming over for lunch (that was a very late breakfast) ....in one hour and my house is for shit.....

I don't think she has a lawyer, and it wouldn't surprise me if she throws herself on the court. She had a medical procedure a couple of years ago, which has since been linked to an increased risk of alcoholism. She has tried programs through her church, and AA, but those didn't work, and she's fought in-patient rehab (ironically because she thought she'd lose her job). She's inconsolable with herself.

.374 is not unusual for me to see at work, but way out of hand for a school bus driver, obviously, although I suspect this happens a lot more often than we know ... less often by drivers drinking on the job, but rather from them showing up still drunk from the night before. I hope she gets into treatment and sticks with it.

I hope so, too. Ever heard of Mira(something) rehab?

Scenario 1: Person A thrashes person B and person B defends themselves.

This is not person B acting a martyr.

Scenario 2: Person B later references scenario 1 in humorous manner.

This is not person B acting a martyr.

Just sayin'.

jinx 06-10-2010 12:37 PM

Person A? Person B? Thrashes?

Why is it so hard to actually SAY wtf you're talking about? Do you think you're being polite or something?

lumberjim 06-10-2010 12:50 PM

maybe my perception is colored by our (spex and I) prior interactions, but I took that as him sticking up for Shawnee and being snarky. The whole 'taking sides' things.... meh.

Clodfobble 06-10-2010 01:01 PM

Here, let me just liven up this thread with something new I'm upset about!

I'm just fucking despondent, y'all. My good friend's daughter has just started down the road to being autistic, but my friend doesn't understand or believe it yet.

Of course, this kid has had vicious allergy and immune issues from day one. After watching--watching, firsthand, we see them every week--what happened to my daughter, they decided to stop vaccinating theirs. Except then they started couching it in terms of only the MMR. And then only because the MMR is formulated with egg, and their daughter is already known to be severely allergic to egg. Now, this morning they come over to play, and she tells me that at her daughter's 18-month checkup they went ahead and gave her all the shots she was due (and overdue) for except the MMR. 4 shots total in one day.

Her daughter violently screamed, nonstop, for the rest of the day. The next morning, her legs hurt so badly she refused to walk on them, she just stood in one place and cried all day. After that the crying finally cleared up, but every single night since then (going on 2 weeks now) she has told her mother that her tummy hurts. No loss of speech yet... but last night she was strangely smacking herself in the face for no reason.

And yet, I'm sitting there on my couch verging on tears as she's telling me this, and she's just pleasantly detailing how she was really worried when at first her daughter wouldn't stop screaming, but now she feels like everything's all better. Oh, and she's excited because they've found an allergist who can compound the MMR shot without egg, so she can hopefully go ahead and get that one very soon. I encouraged her as strongly as I could to treat the tummy pain just in and of itself as tummy pain, and told her where to buy some very strong probiotics. But I don't think she's going to.

In six months, her daughter will officially receive a diagnosis. Mark my fucking words. Goddammit.

classicman 06-10-2010 01:03 PM

Uggghhh. So sorry to hear that Clod!

Clodfobble 06-10-2010 01:06 PM

The worst part is, I know firsthand that part of her grieving process is going to be avoiding the shit out of me, because she'll know that I told her and she didn't listen. She'll come around eventually and accept things just like I did, but during that time she's not going to let me be there for her, it'll have to be someone else.

Unlike some, I don't follow every post of every thread on the cellar. So there's a good chance that I miss a lot of stuff. Plus I have a poor memory for some things so even if I've read something here, I might not remember it the next week.

So I wasn't sure the situation was as I viewed it and/or remembered it. On the other hand, I do have a feeling about this and I didn't want to leave it be. So I decided to post it generically.

Your post seems to be angry. I'm not sure what that's all about.

jinx 06-10-2010 01:18 PM

Because I think posting generically, alluding to situations and people without actually naming them so they can address your opinion in return is irritating. It's a back door way of getting some snark in.

jinx 06-10-2010 01:20 PM

That's just awful clod. I hope she lets you be there for her, if nothing else.

lookout123 06-10-2010 01:21 PM

LJ - I took Spexx's comment as a snarky stickup for his pal as well. I just thought it was funny. Snarky can be funny sometimes.

Clod - Holy crap. I hope you are wrong for your friend's sake. I don't believe Lil Lookout's problems are tied to any vaccinations but we have chosen to be vaccination free with 2.0 anyway. People give us shit about it but in typical Lookout family tradition we tell them to bite the big one and keep their kids away from mine if they are worried.

Jinx - I know dar/pete's post is in reference to the drama I caused but in all honesty I can't really decipher the post so it doesn't really bother me or uplift me regardless of the intent. although the post did give me flashback nightmares to math class. If train A leaves the station at 12 going 60 mph and train B... I never liked those problems. So thanks for that Pete. I'm going to cry now.

Ah. Well, not where I was going with that, but I can see your POV.

monster 06-10-2010 02:14 PM

I really think that when person A feels that person B is picking on person C unjustly, then person D should buttfuck person E in the miouth until the plane takes off from the treadmill. Then Person C needs to jump the dolphin and land on person B on 9/11 while person A is passively aggressing person E. Of course person D must be the one to kill the hobo. And then it's all round to undertoad's for haggis and hot chocolate.

lookout123 06-10-2010 02:22 PM

You insensitive bitch! my B was crushed by a dolphin riding the TT on 9/11!

Trilby 06-10-2010 02:29 PM

Hope you find your cat Kerosene. Maybe it's trying to find the old house?


Sorry to hear about your friend, Clod.

She maybe just shut in someone's garage or shed. Have you put signs around the area? people keep trying to adopt my friends' cat -she's small and does "pathetic" really well so they assume she''s a stray that needs feeding. Some try to turn her into an indoor cat, so she can be gone for a couple of days and be fine

jinx 06-11-2010 10:12 AM

Aw, I hope she turns up. Do what monster said with the flyers, and call your spca. When I found a cat once I looked for flyers and called the spca...

classicman 06-11-2010 11:23 AM

Sorry to hear that Kero - My cat has gone missing for days at a time before also. Seems like it always happens in the spring too. Hope yours comes home soon.

squirell nutkin 06-11-2010 01:30 PM

I had a cat that went missing for six weeks until a chance conversation with my nutty neighbor. He told me he thought she was a stray and he turned her in to animal control. Luckily, the warden's daughter fell in love with her and they didn't put her to sleep, but I felt like a shit heel when I took her from the girl.

lookout123 06-11-2010 01:36 PM

That's got to be a weird story for that little girl.

Yeah, I had a cat. It was pretty cool but then my dad made me give it to some squirrell.

Pie 06-11-2010 01:44 PM

kerosene 06-11-2010 02:54 PM

Found her! She was shut up in our "Silence of the Lambs" basement. I think she wanted to put the lotion in the basket. Usually we keep the door shut to the basement. I think she must have gone in there when one of the contractors was down there and then got locked in. Whew!

classicman 06-11-2010 03:40 PM

WOO HOO!!!!! thats gotta feel good :)

Yes, I am relieved!

squirell nutkin 06-11-2010 07:02 PM

kerosene 06-12-2010 11:08 AM

Yeah, I think so...I would have thought we could hear her. This is a very old house and they just re-insulated it.

Sundae 06-17-2010 07:01 AM

Just had my first returned card from Big Sarge.
Ie I sent a photo card and it's been returned for that address.
I think that means I'll get another two back - one more at least.

I knew he was leaving Iraq, but I didn't know whether he was srill in the Forces and whether they would forward his post to wherever he was.
This indicates that either he isn't, or they don't. Or both.

:(

If anyone hears from him please come back and let us know.

lookout123 06-25-2010 01:47 PM

One of my weatlhiest client has been talking about TEOTWAWKI for quite some time and his investment shift over the last ten years has reflected his growing discomfort with the direction of the country and world. Today he has officially thrown in the towel. Within 7 days he will be 100% divested from the stock and bond markets.

He is going off the grid completely. He said he'll check in and let me know how he's doing a few times a year but he's out of here.

HungLikeJesus 06-25-2010 02:14 PM

Is that a recommended strategy, LO? I'd be willing to entertain it.

lookout123 06-25-2010 02:18 PM

I can't legally or morally recommend this or any other strategy, but I will say his plan isn't the worst I've seen.

Then again I'm just a nutjob fiat money hatin', government fearin', gun-totin, double belly buttoner so I may not be the best guy to ask.

squirell nutkin 06-25-2010 03:00 PM

I ran out of the house today to do a photo job just as the various nutkins were heading out to the beach, thus creating a conflict over use of the car. (They farted around until 2:30 before deciding to go to the beach)
So I leave to the music of blame, tears, guilt, scolding and demands to hurry.

I leave without a memory card for the camera and no checkbook with which to buy one when I get to the job. If I go home to get the card or the checkbook then by the time I get back to the job, the people have left for the day. Monday, the wrong people will be there.

As it is I get race home so the nutkins can go to the beach at least, and then Mrs. Nutkin farts around for another hour before she goes! I could have gone back and had about twenty minutes to get some key shots.

I'm steamed.

Sore throat.

My own fault. I've smoked too much. When I am working on the computer I end up chain smoking without even really thinking about it. Now my throat hurts. I really want a cigarette. I am trying to hold off and not have one for a while.

Oww.
