My wife, at some point in her life, has picked up this really annoying habit of buying digital watches with alarm functions, and setting the alarms to various times that she wants to remember for whatever reason. Sounds harmless, right? Wrong. We now have 3 digital watches somewhere in the apartment that all go off at various times. One goes off at 11:07am (it was supposed to be 11:00am, but she didn't set the time on the watch right). The second goes off at 10:03am (again, it was supposed to be 10:00am, but she didn't set the time on the watch right). The third, and most recent purchase, goes off at 10:01pm. Originally it was 9:01pm, to remind her to get to bed (which she never did), but now it goes off at 10:01pm, because she hasn't bothered resetting the time on the watch for DST. Worst part? She never knows how to disable the alarms, only how to turn them off once they start alarming. But hey, on the bright side, at least I always know what time it isn't.
That's just pure evil.
Yeah, I'm hoping for some replacement suggestions over here: https://www.halforums.com/threads/well-time-for-a-new-rss-reader.29113/

WHAT.
FUCK.
YOU.
GOOGLE.
Google reader has redefined the god damned internet for me. I was very grumpy when they started removing features from it in a blatant, transparently ham-fisted attempt to force people into google plus.
I'm as furious as... I can't remember being this furious in a long time.

Last week my office run out of sugar and I wanted to bring some from home.
My mom made me 15 minutes late because she was trying to find a "proper" cup to carry the sugar, I had one that could carry it without spilling it, but she deemed ugly.
This is the woman that raised me.
In her mind, people are such nasty judgemental pieces of shit that even when doing something nice they will still judge you for something absolutely meaningless.
And my family wonders why I am a loner. Why I never speak.
Well, that is not the only reason.
My mom keeps saying that she would "one day be gone and I would miss her" or variants.
I also realized at a relative young age that I was gay and that was a *bad* thing.
The combination of the two factors pretty much meant that I was and still unable to get close to people. I am aware of it, that I push people away, but I just don't know how to let them in. Because I either believe that they are going away and I will lose them or I internalize that no one will care about me as much as I care about them the very notion that someone can actually like *me* for real, that I can be important for them... it is almost alien and utterly absurd.
Recently my father went to a heart surgery. He is fine now
Me and my sister have risk for heart complications as well, it runs in the family.
We have a exercise machine, that is currently being kept in a back bedroom. It would be nice if it was in front of the in the living room, since the person would be able to watch TV and exercise.
My mom doesn't like it there, because it is ugly and "the visitors would see it."
Therefore.
My mom values what the visitors would think more than her family well being.
And people still wonder why I am a loner and why I never speak.
This was my whine like a baby moment, thank you for your time.

I know exactly what you mean GL.She also valued what other perceived of our family more than the health of our family.It is one of the reasons I moved back to Germany and hardly keep any contact with her in the Philippines.
My mead making addiction is making me want to start a new batch this weekend, but with the relatively low amount of time before we move, it would be almost guaranteed that anything I start now wouldn't be ready to bottle by the time we have to move, so I can't. And I even have a clean 3 gallon carboy and 5 gallon fermentation bucket all ready to go.
That hollow feeling you get when someone you're close to makes a stinging critique of you, and you can't refute it because you know deep down it's true.
I never take risks because I live in a constant state of fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, fear of pain. So I stay in my comfort zone and NEVER stray from it. Today I was made aware of it by my girlfriend that it's kept me from really enjoying certain things in life because I'm never willing to take a risk. And she's absolutely right. Part of it is because of my fears and part of it is because the few times I have, I've been hurt. Can't get hurt if you don't put yourself in danger, right? And then I wonder why my life hasn't really gone anywhere. [/pity party]

I sent my professor the wrong file for my final paper. Didn't find out until yesterday when I checked to see if grades were published yet. I have the correct file. But I don't know if he will accept it even for an automatic loss of points. 
Almost got scammed by a computer company today. "If your SFL is disabled its free, but if its expired you'll have to pay us 50 bucks to fix it!" Nice try.
To bad our spelling seems to be based on how the word looks as opposed to how it sounds, or how it should be easier to sound out.
If any of it's grammar related and giving you grief, please feel free to hit me up. I own and just might possibly read grammar and writing books for fun. I'm a bit of a geek.
Aye, me too. I'm an English teacher to boot!
Had another surgery this morning and the freezing is wearing off.

This is the dumbest, brattiest whine...
I know I'm not ugly. I think I look ok, but my clothes make me feel dumpy an unattractive. New clothes have not been in the budget lately, so I go on feeling dumpy and unattractive. My life is good. I have a job, a kind, supportive husband whose smile gets me through all the hard times, and a loving family. But this stupid "boo-hoo, I just want to feel pretty again" funk won't leave me alone. I know that all my problems won't end if I stumble upon an extra hundred bucks or so... But it would be nice. In a few months I'll be more flush... I can wait it out. Stupid stupid rant. Stupid.

Been there. Both wanting the 'retail therapy' and ego boost, and also getting down on myself for such a vapid whine.
I might have totally done this in NYC >.>
Clearly we need a montage. Post pictures of your outfits and we'll vote!

I will when I go!
Please do! I shall live vicariously through your shopping! (I never go shop anymore...it makes me sad...)
Also, just wanted to throw out, if you have the time to wander, thrift stores/Goodwill are great places to find fun, quirky and unique clothes for really cheap. You know, just in case you can't wait.

I. Can't. Get. COMFORTABLE! Everytime I sit down my back is in knots and whenever I move the base of my neck it feels like an army of nails are assaulting me. Been putting this off forever, but I need a new computer chair!

I visited some second hand stores recently, and I couldn't find anything that fit me quite right. That happens often; don't know if it's bad luck or that I'm an unusual fit. Maybe I'll try again soon, because I'm getting antsy.
