Days of future past... I still don't know what was said in the non-english parts. Luckily it didn't seem too important.
Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

I have a bad history of brutal autocorrects. I might have just had my worst. I asked my mother about her horn enema. Something that I hope doesn't exist.
If you google that term, you get all kinds of unpleasant bullfighting images. I'll leave them to your imagination.
Though good on the bulls for getting some of their own back.
Next time someone bothers you about your parking, offer them a horn enema. (You may want to get a bull's head on your cane for effect.)

I'm really struggling with my depression tonight.
I'd like to go see the nice specialist that I saw back in November. I'm not sure what happened to him over the winter but dude was on a serious ego trip yesterday. Every so often he would pause after telling me about his awesomeness and wait for me to praise him before he would continue. Wouldn't show me my actual MRI pictures until over an hour into his performance. He made me look at several PowerPoint presentations including "The pain equation". He told me that I have to lower my expectations if I'm ever going to be satisfied with his care. For real. I had a hobo witness. What a Fucktard. The doctor that is.
He wouldn't offer to do one of the treatments he offered me because he doesn't like doing injections and he refused to prescribe the other because if I had problems, I'd call him and he doesn't want to hear from me. For real.
His unnamed protege is almost as awesome and will help but has a two year wait list and would likely want to do his own tests and trials of other drugs. He wouldn't give us the guys name.
So, he won't treat me after wasting my time waiting to see him since last August and jumping through the various hoops and getting his required tests done. He won't give me the name of the almost as awesome as him but not quite protege who performs those services. And then he seemed shocked when I looked upset. Instead of having any decency and ending the appointment after crushing any hope I had for treatment and relief of these headaches, he drones on some more about how grateful I should be that he deigned to see me and how much of a gift his presence in my life is and then proceeds to shit all over the pain procedure I'm waiting for at a private clinic and demands to know who does it. I won't tell him because it's related to my AS and none of his business. He threatens to go see my pain clinic doctor to see who he referred me to.
By this time I'm bawling. And he complements my tattoos. They're awesome for sure but wtf asshole? Time and place Dr Awesome....time and place.
He and all his awesome can go to hell! I've had shitty doctors. I've had arrogant ones too. I've never had one before who was both and put on such a show. And that's what it was. He kept pausing for praise. I've also been told a lot more professionally and compassionately that my pain may not be completely treatable. Without being forced to look at shitty PowerPoints. I'm pretty appalled that I waited so long to see him. He wasn't worth the wait. I'd rather be on my second year of waiting for a real doctor. What a waste of my time. The scary part? He's going to treat someone even more desperately in pain than I am and he's going to get himself strangled. Or be responsible for any harm they do to themselves.

Currently in the middle of a slow-motion move. I feel ya.
Are you fleeing to Canada on a Zamboni?
My sisters are planning an intervention for my mom tonight and if I was going to be involved at all, this would probably be in a more severe rant thread, but I've made my feelings clear that mom can do what she wants and then so come the consequences.
One sister is struggling because she's ready to issue an ultimatum of accept treatment or no more visiting her grandson, but while mom may pay lip service to that's, inevitably she will choose alcohol over her grandson, and likely my sister will cave.
At some point I'll have to make it plain that my wife has more health problems than the rest of them put together and that taking care of her is going to take priority over anything else.
But if I had a kid, I'd never trust my mom to look after them. No fucking way. My sister should take the same approach.

My wife is the same way. Freakin' infuriating.
And then "So who's that? Why are there aliens?"
I don't know how I've survived watching new shows with my kids. Mommy what's happening? Mommy why is he sad? Mommy when did that happen? Mommy? Mommy? Mommy?
Omfg watch it and find out?!?! Mommy can't drink anymore!!

I'm passive aggressive about movie interruptions. Remote in hand, I just pause it, then turn and ask them to repeat what they said, so I don't have to try to focus on what they said during the movie and miss dialogue. If they talk a lot, it pauses a lot. They really don't like that during the action scenes, so most people typically learn really quickly. If I'm not willing to pause it, I generally ignore them and wait until they ask again - some people are practically talking to themselves, so I tune them out unless they repeat themselves.
Fortunately my wife doesn't do that, but the kids learn pretty quickly that questions should be saved for the end of the movie. Further, there are times when it's a good thing, and they know I'm focusing on them rather than trying to do two things at once.
I mean, without those stupid Hulu ads, how else were my kids ever going to learn about erectile dysfunction? Ever noticed that the "If your erection lasts longer than four hours" part is emphasized much more than the rest of the negative side effects? At this point they're just bragging about their drug. "Here's a 'bad' side effect" wink wink nudge nudge say no more
Yes, my life is a series of scripts. I don't know how people manage without scripts for nearly every possible situation.
It's not a tumer.
Oh, @GasBandit. Any chance you can be persuaded to change the Pun rating's picture to Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr Freeze?
"Who's that? What are they doing?" "I have seen exactly as much of this movie as you have." "Yeah but you know things." "Yes, and now I shall catch up with the drinking." "Huh?" "Nevermind."

I don't think you guys understand how few pixels there are to work with in those rating icons.
I have faith in you.
Don't know it.
