Every DUI I've given has been near life ruining, since most of them were given to long haul truck drivers in the area I used to do general duty. DUI's in Alberta are an automatic license suspension with a 3 week temporary license to get your affairs in order followed by a mandatory 3 month suspension, regardless of conviction. If convicted it's another 12 months.

Don't get a DUI here.

Professional drivers DUI deserve to lose their income for a while. They're playing with lives. I work in mobile security, I've send people home before because they were taking too many pain killers. I notice one who's drunk even one beer and he's gone. Cars, in the hands of people not responsible about their usage, kill. Just like guns :troll:

My work has me so pissed off that I just want to walk out the door and never come back. I am not going to do it but I am so very tempted to yell at my boss and just walk out. I just want to go home and sit in a quiet room with the lights off and not think about work. I just want this day to end very quickly. I work my ass off and what do I get for it? Lies,blame,and a bunch of other bullshit. I am so freaking tired of it.

Jet got bitten by another kid at the day care today.

It broke the skin and looks really nasty.

How did Jet take it? He cried...and then agreed to share the marker they were fighting over with boy. They were pitting dinosaurs against each other when I went to pick him up.

This is a rant because I think the bite may be infected.

You might want a doctor to look at it. All jokes aside, human bites are the worst.

I am utterly beside myself. Got a message from my husband that says he's getting on a flight in a few hours. His destination is in Europe. I don't know if he's staying there or being sent here via a 'round the world trip. I don't like the lack of info mixed with the oxymoron of military intelligence.

Luckily, I just heard from him again. Seems he's headed on a trip around the world before coming back here. Should be home before the weekend. And then there will be a whole other frelling mess to deal with.

Whle it s pretty crappy that he has back problems, and it will of course be a mess to get things sorted out and such, try to look on the bright side: I can think of approximately 125,000 worse reasons for your husband to come home early from his deployment.

Also, I'll wave at passing aircraft for a while ;)

LOL! Thanks Bubble. I know you're right about 125,000 worse things that would send him home. I am glad his is such a minor reason compared to some of the others. The mess I'm thinking of is related to lack of communication from his command. He didn't have an itinerary. He doesn't have orders for what he's doing when he gets here. Instead of telling him what's going on they have been in contact with his escort who has not passed info on to him, but just assumes he has also received it. It's a cluster fuck and some how it all comes back to make my husband look like he's an idiot.

Sounds like Nick's prom night :rimshot:

More seriously, it always amazes me when things such as the armed forces show horrible internal communication skills. You'd expect such entities to have mastered the basics of good communications by now. This may be arelatively minor matter, but one can only guess at the amount of people injured/killed and loss of resources/opportunities caused by people not being aware of their orders, things not being properly explained,.... *sigh*

It's the armed forces. No matter the country, if it isn't done bass ackwards, tied up with a mile of red tape and trimmed with a healthy dose of complete asshattery, you're doing it wrong and you will get yelled at for it.

I have ranted about this before, so bare with me.

I hate my weight.

I have been working my ass off to change this...I even had a personal trainer for a while a month or two ago. I did everything he told me to, four times a week for a month and droped my caolories to about 1500 a day. I didn't loose and inch and stubbornly stayed at 250 pounds.

He refunded me my money, though I didn't ask him to. I was confused by this...until a friend informed me that some gyms judge their trainers on how well the clients are doing. I was making his fucking metrics looks bad.

I saw my doctor. Again. She weighed me, gave me a full physical and blood workup. There's no problems with my thyroid, my cholesterol is low and my blood pressure is great. I'm not even retaining water. I told her off my problems and she semed baffled, as she heard me complain about this before. She said there's no physical reason I should be like this.

So...I got depressed and stopped going for a while....stopped doing anything, really. I ate whatever and did very little. I stayed at 250.

I'm back at is again now...an I stepped on the scale today to find I'm 253lbs.

I hate me.

I'm not an expert, but I do remember cutting my calories when I was 220... and I was told not to be too drastic. I started at 1800-1900, then I dropped down to 1700, and now I'm at about 1400-1550, depending on how active I am that day and If I'm that hungry. I'm so sorry you're frustrated, and I hope you find what works for you. If you haven't tried cutting down a little bit less at first, maybe that would work? Good luck to you, sin. We are pulling for you! Also, for what it's worth, I think you are a beautiful person. *hug*

Cutting back too sharply can cause your body to go into "starvation mode", and hog any and all calories it can get its hands on; going so far as to canibalize your own body (destroy muscle to form more fat).
That aside, don't feel bad - it's better to be 250 and stay at 250 than to bounce like a yoyo between 200 and 300 :)
