So my in-laws usually don't bother coming to visit us. It's hard for us to get up to see them because of our son's motion sickness problem and me being pregnant (I have swelling issues if I sit for too long). Then this kind of shit happens. We make plans to go do something, leave the house, and sure enough while we're out we get a call from my mother-in-law that they are here. WTF!! They couldn't call last night or even this morning to tell us that they're coming to our house? Now our plans for the day are a bust. Awesome. :blue:

Pretty much. We're his "bring you down a peg" squad. Or sometimes we just laugh. He always has to one-up people. When I was telling him a few years back how happy I was about Culinary school and how exciting I thought working as a chef would be, he interrupts me and says, "Yeah, well, with MY degree, I can expect to make six figures within the first year. I don't think anyone I know can expect that."Gusto said:
When I lost a bunch of weight and HE asked ME about it, he interrupted with, "Well I lost about 100 pounds, and it was the hardest thing I've ever done." (FYI--he lost weight because of some digestive disorder he has.)
Months after graduating, thinking he was a big shot with his goddamned dime-a-dozen bachelor's degree (yeah he worked hard but so do thousands of other people--and HARDER, with a better attitude), he just quit an easy bookstore job because the managers were "stupid," and he's about to be a busboy. Terrible attitude when it comes to work. He thought he'd become part of the family business, but that didn't work out. So he needs to find outlets for his sense of entitlement and superiority.
Sometimes I think he'll live out his days in his dad's house playing video games on the big screen TV he won't shut up about.
I know a guy similar, but this guy has burned all his bridges and caused almost everyone in the group to barely tolerate his existence. The guy is smart, but a total dick. Most of the time. Rarely he can be the coolest guy I know. I think that's what makes it so sad. If he wasn't the dick most of the time he could do so much more with himself.Cajungal said:

Rant: Seriously sir are you out of your flippin mind? It's co-ed recreational soccer for 3 & 4 year olds. There is no need to run up and down the field yelling at your son (at this age parents are allowed on the field with their kids) and telling him what to do. You ran over 3 kids yourself doing this, all so your kid could score another goal. We friggin get it, your 4 year old boy is bigger than my daughter and her new friend. And yes buddy I intentionally kicked the ball away from the goal when your steroided freak of a child ran in to score his umpteenth goal of the game, I'm not going to let him barrel into that little girl again. Odin's teeth its hard enough to get the kids to not try to score on their own goal at this age and you're keeping score? Chill out buddy. Why not use the game to help develop new friendships and teamwork for your kid?

Bah! The holiday turned out to be a bust for me 4th year running. In the past three years I've always ended up working a full Saturday 11 hour shift at my job (My boss won't let us close early unless we didn't make money any money for four hours strait.) So this is the first 4th of July I've had off and it happens by chance and I'm stoked. I was supposed to meet an old friend to catch the movie "Up". SO I buy my ticket and wait for him to show and he never does. I text and call him right up until the show starts and he texts me half way through the movie saying that he was at a party/bbq. He doesn't even apologize!!
So I finish the movie, (Fantastic movie by the way) and I have two options in terms of 4th of July Celebrations to chooses from, I could:
1) Go to my sister's party. They have always been hit or miss, but I've never had an bad time at one of her parties.
B) Go to my friend's party, Never been to one of his parties but according to my other friends from the local Community college that we all attended they were supposedly, Legendary!!
I chose my friend's party... HUGE MISTAKE! First off they tell me to bring a Wii-mote so they can start up a tourny or something like that. So I bring in the wii-motes and arrive after getting lost for a half hour due to some extremely faulty google map directions. By the time I arrive, all the food and booze is gone, save for a couple of beers that I had to seek permission to drink. and the "tourny" turned out to be just two guys playing smash brothers a majority of the time and not even trying to pretend to share the Wii. Not to mention the host decided to hotbox the upstairs bathroom so about %85 of the party was stoned, which lead to several people talking nothing but drama. amongst their group of friends.
TO top it all off, one of my other friends, as the party is winding down but still somewhat lively, decides to watch Patton 360. Now this wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for the fact that he was bogarting the only working laptop, which wasn't even his but the hosts! and just watching the show. My friend/party host couldn't be relied to do anything about this because he was too busy blowing chunks upstairs.
Gorramit!! Next time I'll go to my sister's place. At least a majority of hers are themed.

Wild parties, in my experience, have never been synonymous with good parties. Not to say that they're mutually exclusive, but wild doesn't automatically mean good.
Now, I'm posting here again. I've been posting far too much in this thread, but I thought I'd just throw this update out there.
In church this morning, they announced that the man I did homecare for died last night. I had gone to church with the intention of grabbing the woman who does the signing for the deaf, and asking if we could both visit him in hospital. Damn.
I didn't expect that so soon, and it hit pretty hard. Tried to keep from tearing up, but that didn't work so well, which was particularly disastrous because I spent the whole service on the platform (stage). Nobody noticed, probably, but it made me pretty self conscious. I couldn't even pay enough attention to the sermon to dissect why the preacher was wrong.

So, there's this girl that I've been e-mailing back and forth on Facebook. A mutual friend of ours kind of set us up. She's over in Britain right now, teaching, but is coming home for a month.
Anyway, I was just writing a long response to her, her last e-mail in Notepad for quick reference. I switch windows and back, hit backspace to fix something and...
...bam. The whole page goes back. Panicked, I hit the forward page button...
...and the whole frigging e-mail has been lost.
Fuck.

Happens to everyone once. Just last week, a mate of mine was writing a long-winded email to the education ministry (school related stuff, she's a teacher), and after writing what could amount to two pages, she did the backspace thing too.ThatNickGuy said:

Thread over. :tear:Gusto said:My cousin miscarried.
Ugh, so I log into my very sparsely used Facebook account (something I almost never use for a variety of reasons) and see some pictures of my cousin hanging out with a group of shitheads, every one of which I've arrested for reasons as varied as drug trafficking (one of these assholes is a repeat offender crack dealer) to beating the shit out of his pregnant girlfriend (I see he's holding the kid in the picture he so desperately tried to abort via violence too). It's seriously wounding. She knows what these guys do and she knows it bothers me greatly. She's like a little sister to me (she spent a ton of time staying with my family when we were younger due to her mother's own issues).
I don't even know what to do.
I fucking hate Facebook.

WTF mate?
Sad news man, sorry to hear it.Gusto said:My cousin miscarried.
In other news, I hate my roommate's cat. She used to hate my guts until she was neutered, now she's either meowing constantly for attention or pawing/meowing at his closed door when he's not even home.
The further problems are I can't really enjoy her company at all. If I try to pet/scratch anywhere but her head she starts clawing/biting. She hardly listens to anyone but my roommate. She has issues pooping in the catbox (situates herself in odd ways so she drops 'em right onto the floor). She doesn't like to be picked up or held, and her fur is coarse and thin, so it's not even soft to pet. Also it manages to weave into clothes pretty often.
To top it all off he is fucking allergic to cats.
I normally get on well with animals. I think that's why this bugs me so much.

Jeez, how annoying. I never thought I'd miss all-girl classes.
Yeah, shockingly, my education classes are mostly female.
But anyway, we were talking in psych class about human development. The professor brought up how some women go months without realizing they're pregnant. So, I asked a question about that. I never knew if women had normal periods during that time or if they mistook a little spotting (which I've heard is normal) for a regular period. It's a fair enough question, damn it!
And I know that guys don't always want to hear that... but you stupid ass (a male student in front of me), don't tell me not to talk about it whenever the professor is. If I have a question that makes you uncomfortable, and it's related to the content you're supposed to learn anyway... well, maybe you should just grow the fuck up, close your ears, or change majors.
I grew up with men who spoke freely about things that would make most guys cringe. I accept that that's probably abnormal, and I wouldn't bring it up out of nowhere just to make someone uncomfortable. But MY GOD, in a class where you're learning about childbirth and all the gross stuff that comes with it, you need to shake it off and get the hell over it. I wanted to throw my mp3 player at the back of that moron's head. I hate being laughed at or chastised for being curious about something natural.
You stupid, stupid tool. Way to play the typical man.

sometime in class, lean in close to his ear, and whisper "I bleed for five days and don't die"
Freshman year of college I knew a girl that didn't know she was pregnant until she went into labor. I can't remember if she was still having periods or not. It was pretty messed up, I'm surprised the baby made it. She was drinking and partying the whole time. She didn't really show, kinda looked like she was just getting a little pot from too much beer.
There's a whole show on TLC or something called "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant." I cannot bring myself to watch it as I assume it involves huge amounts of stupidity.
Stupid cheating cookie makers! They don't fill it to the edges, fine, but to make it appear as though it's solid when they've really just put a 'donut' of cream on is really cheap.
Not that this'll stop me from buying and eating them in the future, but at least now I'm an informed consumer.
On the other hand, iPhone 3Gs macro photography FTW.

@ Allen.There happened to be a girl in the class who answered my question. She was 8 months pregnant before she found out. She had a regular period every month. She gained weight because she was eating more, but she didn't have a "pregnant" looking belly. Another girl said her mom went 6 months without realizing. Apparently that happens, just not often. I had a feeling it did, but I was not sure.
What annoyed me too is that the professor, who's been really cool up to this point, kind of egged the guy on. If you bring something up and don't want to answer questions about it, why bring it up in the first place???
My brother went to a small state college in Arkansas. He was close to graduating, but needed a Fitness and Health class (He played football for cripes sake). The school he was in did not have the class that semester, so he went across the street to a Baptist college to get the credit.
The guy that taught the class told a story of how his wife, also a health teacher at that college, started to gain weight. They started her on a serious diet, which did not work. Then started her on running and sit-ups to keep the mysteriously pooching belly down. Then some months later she went into labor.
TWO COLLEGE EDUCATED HEALTH PROF'S DID NOT KNOW SHE WAS PREGGERS!!!
But we bet that that baby hit the ground running.
