not so serious but I want to rant II: Redemption

Not open for further replies.
I miss my bro too, CJ, at least you live somewhat near him though. :awesome:

So I told myself I wasn't going to drink again until the party I'm going to at the end of October. I tend to spiral to depression faster when I drink, and lately I've been overdoing it and getting full-on blackout almost every time I imbibe at a party/gathering.

Yet, here I am with a six-pack on a work night. I am weak.

I worry I have a problem.
 
I just shut down my FB. I don't feel connected to any of my "friends" so it seems like a huge waste of time even bothering to go there, but, the real problem is outside of the nets. Nobody wants to socialize or hang out anymore, I'm not involved in their plans when they do. My new resolve is to find better friends. :confused:
 
Ugh..new birth control is giving me the worst tummy ever.
It's probably just morning sickness...[/QUOTE]

Don't even joke.

I'm not ready to do that again...especially if I have another baby that needs multiple surgeries.[/QUOTE]

Sorry for the joke. From a family that I know that went through a similar situation... it is uncommon to happen and uncommon to happen more than once in the same family. It happened with identical twin girls. Only one had the cleft, and the family had the doctor put similar scar/stitches on the one with out, so they would grow up not knowing which one had the cleft palate.

That;s actually kinda sweet.

I may be over reacting. I would do it over again. Just not yet. I need more time. :)

So, the doctor mutilated one of the twins to spare the other's feelings later on? I don't find that sweet at all. That actually sounds a little monstrous.

gotta go with frank on that one.
 
Fourthed. I know the scars eventually go away. One of my friends was born with a hare-lip but you can hardly tell now. Still, it just seems a bit drastic to do that to the other twin.
 
Oh, and those twins where one was monstrously disfigured on purpose, were the Captain and Lieutenant of the cheer-leading squad a large, rich school. also the kids were from a pretty poor family.

I don't care if one goes on to be president. It is still a seriously messed up thing to do.

I'm sure they would have become cheerleaders anyway. That doesn't change what the doctor did.

Just trying to let you guys know you are overreacting.

Monstrous is rape and murder.... the extermination of the Jews... and being sure that twin sisters would bond and not let one be a victim.

So, you're now attributing their success to the fact that a doctor carved into a babies face for symmetry's sake?

I don't think so. Parents should do their best to protect their kids and AVOID scars. Not actively seek them out.

No, that it did not affect their appearance. Since head cheerleaders are normally one of the prettiest girls in a school.
 
I think this is a 'road to hell/good intentions' kind of thing. While the doctor certainly had good intentions in mind, he was unethical in what he did. Scarring one child to spare another is not the right choice to make.
 
I guess I won't be getting the loan I wanted to buy my house. I have great credit and the ability to make the payments, but apparently not having proof of rental payments for the last year is a deal breaker. I could get a loan from another bank, but the interest rate is higher than I'd like. I'll probably just end up doing a contract for deed for a year or so, and refinance it then. Hopefully interest rates don't go up too much during that time. Not really what I had hoped for.

Gotta keep those big receipts, dancing guy.

As I noticed in the atheist thread, sixpack's missing a couple cans.
 
No receipts to save. The house I'm buying is owned by my parents. I've haven't been paying rent, just paying to fix up the house. It hadn't been lived in for at least 25 years before I moved in. Lots of stuff to fix...

If I had known it would be an issue I would have paid rent, and had them pay for the repairs.
