[Rant] Minor Rant III: For a Few Hollers More

Theres a big booth set up on campus talking about stopping genocide. I see some pictures of Jews in concentration camps and figure "oh, its about darfur or something of that nature."
Nope. It's fucking anti-abortion. They're comparing the genocides of the world to abortion. Now what was a pleasant day is turned into me having a shitty mood.
 
My wife and I recently drove through central Oregon - not something we ever plan on doing again - and one of the towns we drove through, Burns, had all of these billboards which were being used by some Christian group or another. They had some of the most ridiculous sayings on them that I've ever seen. The ones I remember were, "Keep America Beautiful, Save our Unborn Children," "50% of Marriages end in Cancer," and "There's no such thing as fun for the whole family." It's like they took the first half of very popular sayings and just merged them with messages they wanted to get across.

Must not post HF style reply to wife's friend on FB who friended me and is advocating classroom surveillance for all classrooms thanks to one incident. Must not compare her publicly to pitchfork and torch carrying villagers in Frankenstein. Must not make analogies to 1984. Must be nice, must be nice....

Yeah, but maybe after the government installs surveillance monitors the general public will finally realize, "oh shit, we don't pay these guys enough to build the next generation". Or, quite possibly, they'll just continue to spit and shit on us even more.
 
A well loved local radio celebrity passed away last night. I had the pleasure of meeting him before and he was just a lovely man. He had struggled with his weight and was finally down to 180 pounds from close to 300...so it must be a kick in the guts to his family that he died from an infection to his heart.

Good bye Big Tom, mornings will never be the same with out your pervy, good natured humour.
 
Whoever they put in charge of SiriusXM's billing department must be under orders to trim the subscriber rolls. Why else would they a) email me that a bill is coming, b) send the bill, and then c) start with the harassing phone calls about the bill before the postman makes it to the next house? I got the bill TODAY. It isn't due for another month. Why the fuck are you calling me?

Fine. That's how you want it? Okay. I'm calling you. And now YOU owe ME $75. So much for that decade-long subscription I had.

Apparently I'm not the only one they've pulled this on.

That awkward moment when you realize you've fed the cats twice in one night and they stare at you accusingly as you take the second dinner away from them...

Tort is fat but he is now on a diet. Since he is on the diet, if I accidentally give him extra food I just let him have it because it is just mean to take it away. If I did it every day then I'd take it away but every once in a great while isn't so bad.

Meh, they got over it quickly enough, I just don't want them to eat too much then throw up. The one was doing that. Eating a bunch at once then throwing up, so we try to spread it out a bit more.

I'm so tired right now...

Tort gets fed twice a day now. Our cat Gwennie always had to have food in the bowl or she would tear up the house. She wouldn't eat it but Tort would. So I sent her home with my mom and now Tort eats normal.

When we get back home I don't know what we will do but I am sure we'll come up with something. Our other cats won't eat everything but Tort will. He is a feline vacuum. Hehe I love the little fucker.

I just killed this weird, long, multi-legged insect that was on my ceiling. I killed it with machismo and might....I was totally badass.
 
Dental emergency time. Two fillingless molars I let go due to lack of funds or insurance. Now the aspirin know longer helps. Not how I wanted to get out of a 3pm meeting on my day off.

Having two patch jobs on chipped teeth in the front of my mouth and no dental insurance, this is pretty close to my nightmare.

Back tooth is abscessed and needs root canal. Antibiotics prescribed. Pain in the other tooth (which already had a root canal) is likely caused by the first. Tooth has a temporary filling for now. Will see how I feel after numbness wears off.
 
Man, I hate root canals. I'd rather have them pull the teeth. Of course, that may have something to do with the fact that the one tooth I had a root canal on being too broken to support a crown, and the dentist missed part of one of the roots so it took a long, long time for the tooth to stop hurting and die, and now I basically have a razor sharp shard of bone in my mouth that's slowly disintegrating, because it wouldn't support a crown. If the fucker'd just pulled it like I told him to, it would have been over and done with in days, not years.

So today at my work we have a pizza/bowling "fun day". Most everyone sits on the 5th floor and I am on the 2nd for some reason which I have yet to work out. Guess what? No pizza for Dave. Didn't bring a lunch because it was going to be provided. So fuck their bowling outing.
 
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!

Is there anything in life more inconveniencing than losing one's wallet?
