Aw, Dang! Syne: January Minirants

madrabbitwoman,

This isn’t medical advice, of course, just want to mention that I got to a certain age and stopped being able to handle caffiene without exactly the symptoms you described. No caffiene, no problem.

I suspected as much :frowning:

What happened with the other hospital place? (I think you mentioned it in another thread, sorry for cross-posting!)

They decided I had too many problems for them to deal with :frowning:

It’s January. It’s cold and it sucks. But either move to San Diego or stop complaining about it.

Son of a bean! My husband’s been gone all month and he was supposed to be home for dinner tonight. I scrambled all over today cleaning and stuff and was going to make him a special dinner. Now his flight’s delayed and he won’t be home until after I’m in bed. He won’t be home until after I’m in bed tomorrow night, as well. So I don’t get to see him before he leaves again. I’m so completely bummed right now.

And I really don’t like my new haircut.

Hey, people who dance and/or lip-sync along to your iPods - you look like total freaking dumbasses. Is there something wrong with you?

No.

Hey, people who get irritated when I hum as I walk, no iPod involved: I’m happy and you’re overdue for your proctologist visit.
olives, look at it this way: you have a neat house!

I don’t get it. :confused: Can’t your hubby just wake you up when he gets home?

Nope, I’m just enjoying life.

I guess this just drives you nuts, huh? It looks like fun, I wish I had the courage to do that.

Yes, it does look like fun, but I still have to say it:

Worst. Flashmob. Ever.

Saw Easter chocolate on sale at the supermarket. It’s only been a couple of weeks since Christmas!

:frowning:

That’s just infuriating - “Hey, it looks like you really really need our help, so sorry, we’re not going to give it to you”?

I would, but you lot are really picky about who you give out Green Cards too :wink:

We didn’t even get a few weeks break - it was literally advent calendars down, eggs up, the same day.

I’m 50 years old, slightly overweight, bald, grey beard, and there is some music that just moves my soul. Can’t deal with the sight of it? No part of that equation involves any fault on my end or a requirement that I hide my light from your grumpy eyes.

Why do people think it’s “cold” out when it’s -8 degrees C (16 degrees F)? That’s not cold at all. I wish to God that it was as warm as that where I am, where it’s -40. Then I could actually go outside. :mad:

I’m a musician, and a lot of music moves me. Though I don’t actually listen to an iPod in public much, and when I do, I try not to groove along to it too much. :slight_smile:

Maybe I’m too much of a classical musician. At classical concerts, you aren’t supposed to move around too much in your seat in the audience. :slight_smile:

What?! Those people are awesome. I once saw a lady - about 30 or so - dancing down the street while listening to an iPod. I gave her a “thumbs up” and she nodded to me and kept on dancing. I wanted to find her and make her my new best friend.

I lip-synch to my music when I’m running because it helps me breathe. I know I look like a jackass and I don’t care, I’m RUNNING.

Ugh. Fuck! That! I’m sure Canada is a wonderful place to live, indeed it’s on my list of places to visit…but I can’t imagine dealing with a winter like that.

Meanwhile, I’d like to fuck Microsoft right up the ass with an agave leaf. I installed XP on to a laptop the SO picked up used for her son to ‘play’ with. No problems, I went to Windows Update and it said that IE6 is no longer compatible with Update. Cool, says I, I’ll just update to 8. So, I download 8, and what does it tell me? I can’t install 8 unless I have already installled XP SP2. Damn. Go to find SP2. Can’t download it because IE6 isn’t compatible with Windows Update. What’s more, IE that I have to use is so old that it keeps crashing after failing to load a page. So after several failed attempts at downloading SP2 or SP3, I just said fuck it and went to bed.

Just downloaded SP3 and stuck it on a thumb drive. I’ll try to install it this evening.

Come visit us - just not in the winter. :wink:

Don’t do it..!
