What are you unhappy about today?

[tinkerbell]

I'm exhausted for no reason (other than my stupid period), my husband didn't get up to take the dogs out so I could sleep in on my day off, and it's too fucking hot to do anything.

Well, there were two full grown men laughing at her and calling her a "retard." I can't believe there is still such ignorance in this world. Just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes. My cousin had a stroke when she was two years old, which impaired the left side of her brain. She is now 21, but she has the mentality of an 8 year old. So my feelings towards this type of bullying are very strong, of course. I get very defensive on behalf of the defenseless. Anyways, back to the subject. I didn't know how to handle this situation. A part of me wanted to go up to the guys and be the living shit out of them; part of me wanted to stand there in just cry because of their inhumanity. Well, I decided what to do after I relived every fight I was ever involved in on behalf of my wonderful cousin.... I walked up to them (after making it look like I hadn't been crying), and told them that she had more courage and nuts than they had put together. I was looking for them to try to start a fight with me, but they didn't....they scoffed and walked out. I knew they felt like dicks, and I'm glad they felt horrible for what they said. Elderly abuse, animal abuse, handicap abuse--people who can't defend themselves like I could (a 6'4", 350 pound man). I will never understand how people can be so heartless. I'm thankful to have been born with a "golden heart" (it's what my granny used to call it), and don't hide it.

Oh wow. I have worked with developmentally disabled/mentally ill individuals for 17 years. I rarely saw discrimination like this. I am, by no means, a nice person....but I truly believe that we are here to protect animals, children, and those that can't defend themselves.

I, too, can be a very mean person, but picking on defenseless people is a totally different level of meanness. I'm glad to see that there are more people who can differentiate meanness for ignorance. Mean, but not heartless. Go us

LOL Altruism. People don't know what that is. I live by it. Protect the innocent and weak. Do it

I didn't know what it was, haha. Well, I learned a new word today. Wonderful.

I'm unhappy that for most of the afternoon I've been enduring super-sharp hunger pains...despite having a substantial lunch and being in general zero risk of waisting away or even budging the needle on the scale. Body, why do you do this to me? Don't you know I need to focus on something other than food occasionally?

Poor tummy!
As a remedy - have you tried Moroccan style tea with mint and ground liquorice? Apart from the fact that it tastes great, it's very soothing and works well against hunger pangs and sweet cravings, good hot but also now in summer as ice tea. (Lipton in some, not all European countries sells a pretty good ready made mix in tea bags - I don't know about Canada. Otherwise it's 2/3 dried, crushed mint with 1/3 ground liquorice root, set to seep for 5 minutes)

All day long I've been waiting for something promised and they just walked in and had no reason for not bringing it and didn't even seem to care. I hesitate to even post this because it seems so petty but it really was something I'd been looking forward to for days and now not only do I not have it, but the opportunity is lost because they didn't give a shit and it's too late.

Having always lived int he west, I've never had white castle, but I'm going to say some of that old fashioned Hozay Sweet Dick is up to par with a White Castle Crave Case. I know, I know; that is a bold statement.

Hate to tell ya bud, but even though I'm not a fan of White Castle, I would still much prefer them to your *ahem* sweet,sweet, dick.( said in a crusty English butler's accent)

@CP, not petty at all. I hate it when people say they are going to do something and even when it's not really a big deal in the grand scheme of life, but it is something you're expecting, and then they totally flake on you. It's infuriating because you know you can't really tee off on them because it would make you look like a maniac. Aaarrgghh!!!

The last time I had Morrocan tea was in Morroco....and I still have the (lovely, but at the time completely not needed and unaffordable) carpets that I paid far too much for to remind me of the experience . In the last few years I've finally been able to have a peppermint tea without immediately tensing up and feeling nauseous, but not sure that twenty years has been quite enough to try proper Morrocan mint tea yet....

After posting I thought back, and realized that I'd accidentally packed myself a completely low fat lunch (barbecued curried chicken breast, celery, grapes, pineapple, and a brown rice/wild rice mix). I have to eat fairly low fat or my body gets cranky, but at the same time I don't think I'm meant to burn fuel that low on fat!

LOL! The last thing on my mind when recommending the tea was triggering the memory of being ripped of by a Moroccan carpet dealer! (... sales practices in Arab countries really are a nuisance, though...)

Nevertheless - I stand my ground that the tea mentioned would be good for the hunger pang issue. It's also not the classic Moroccan mint tea your carpet dealer most likely served (black tea with fresh mint twigs and lots of sugar) - so the 'déjà gouté' shouldn't be too strong. The effect in the case of the tea mix I quoted is the liquorice root, not the mint... so - bonne dégustation!

The rain can go and done. Any more and I'm going to start building an ark.

And I've got a gig later...carrying music gear in the rain does not make me a happy chap.

I've ridden bicycles for about 40 years, a lot of that time on a daily basis. Despite which I fumbled a coasting start on Saturday, resulting in my pedal (which has metal teeth for grip) trying to eat my ankle (with my weight pushing the pedal forward, for extra grindy bonus chewing action). It was good that I could wear shorts and no socks for the rest of the weekend, but now that I'm at work that is not so much of an option, so I keep getting reminded of how chewed up (and probably bruised) that area is

[Tad]

There is a sports store a couple of miles from where we live that has been run by the same family for 51 years....for the whole time that I've shopped there by two brothers. The place doesn't go in for sales or a lot of flashy promotions, but has always carried good quality stuff at a fair price. You might beat their price occasionally with sales elsewhere, but you could always go in there and know that you were getting a fair price on good quality stuff, which is something all too rare these days.

Well, one of the brothers died this spring, at age 55. The other brother is 53, and has decided that he just isn't willing to keep at it on his own, and he's shutting the place down. The family will do OK out of it, they own the property and its right in the middle of what is now one of the cities hottest neighbourhoods, so it has to be a great time to sell.

But as a loyal customer I suddenly feel cast adrift. It is where we've bought our bikes, bike bags, repair and maintenance services, tires, and lots of other stuff for 15 years. It was people we trusted and had a relationship with. I totally understand their decision, but one of the bricks that helped build the neighborhood is going away, and that is making me a sad cyclist today.

[BigWheels]

spent from 3pm to midnight at the hospital to only hear "we have no clue whats wrong with you!"

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!? M.R.I., xrays, and enough drugs to lay a rhino out (with no pain relief BTW). My head was spinning bad.

Then couldn't get to sleep till 3am (after hot as hell shower) to only have to crawl out at 6am for work. blerg...

I am dead on my feet (so to speak)... and this whole experience showed me how alone I really am.

And dating sites suck! Not a single FFA found. depressing...
