The Whining and Bitching Thread

If this description included you getting into threesomes with your significant other, and letting him get some strange side; you might be describing heaven.

I don't know if PP would want that. He just wants to be loved.

F_D I hear you. At least she can still walk to work! I don't even know if we can do anything aside from lead by example. Personally my dad who is obese and pre-diabetic with high cholesterol and b/p has pretty much given up, so I'm not going to try and pressure him to change his lifestyle. He knows what to do - he used to be in excellent shape and do pushups with me on his back and stuff - he just doesn't have the will nor desire to do it.

Flight to Chicago is cancelled.

Who knows if I'll make it to MLA in this fucking weather.

Haha, that article isn't entirely accurate; but it's pretty funny.

As it turns out, I got a flight on Thursday at no price change. Couple extra days with the folks.

Black Orifice: Thanks for the info! I say, you definitely have a couple years until you have to start worrying about it. I remember you being pretty thin - if i carry my mom's genetics my time must be running out . It's great to eat healthy, I try to but I rely on being young for now so will fall back on eating shit like taco bell and white castle from time to time. I'm not as fortunate to have 10% body fat ha, so i do try to get some form of exercise not the gym but something relaxing and or fun. Hell, ride the good ride until you can't no more!

Laura: You're totally right. Forcing people to do better may have the opposite effect. I do want to get her a blender and introduce her to less fatty foods. Def will try to not be so bossy with it. Your dad sounds like superman back in the day! If you don't mind me asking how old is he? My mom is 66, and totally there are people much worse off. It's kind of hard watching your parents grow old, though

Made it to MLA. My bag didn't. So I'm walking around the Marriott Chicago in two-day-old clothes. I probably smell like one of Krig's shits.

Who knows when I'll see the bag. They're so backed up due to weather that their phone goes right to voicemail.

keep an eye open for Don Anderson from Agalloch. I know he's there

When me and my dad came home from work yesterday we found our 11 year old cat dead, I think she choked on something.

 

[damnromulans]

I'm so sorry. That's awful.

I was going to complain about PP's asshole neighbor having me towed for "blocking a driveway" that was not blocked and me having to dip into savings to make it til next payday, but that seems pretty minor compared to losing a pet. Or the funeral procession that passed by the towing garage.

It's weird when I look around for her out of habit then realize she's gone.

I really hope a conference I like happens at the University of Washington-Seattle so I have an excuse to meet up with him and discuss literature. I wish Scalzi of Slough Feg would go to these things, but he teaches Philosophy.

Good form.

Lots of various scholars attend MLA: philosophers, historians, anthropologists, cultural/social theorists, etc. It isn't just for literary scholars. I'm sure it's a similar case for other Humanities conferences.

Glad this thread exists, cuz I gotta vent somewhere.

Edited and chose not to vent. Just had to type it, not have it read. But basically my mom sucks.

 

[damnromulans]

I wrote a nice apology note and included a coupon for a dozen free bagels and adhered it to the neighbor's front door.

My mom rules.

It's been fucking impossible to sleep since quitting weed. My brain's all like, "COOL. I CAN MAKE DOPAMINE NOW."

 

[mutantllama]

So why not smoke a little bit about an hour before bed?
