Oh, how I *wish *I had balls big enough to say that.
Dear Lady Who Just Had Octoplets,
You live with your parents. You have six other children. You apparently have no income and no partner to parent your fourteen kids. You, madame, are a grade A leech and complete moron. You aren’t a mom. You are a breeder. Your uterus should be declared a toxic waste site and closed down for business permanently. You’re opposed to selective reduction? Well fuck you. If you’re opposed to abortion you should be opposed to fertility procedures as well. You have no business bringing anymore children into the world let alone children who will probably suffer greatly because of your carelessness and stupidity.
You are the reason childless people snicker.
My dearest wish right now is that welfare dumps you into a workfare job when your litter is three months old and you have to return to work just like the rest of us.
Sincerely,
One hell of a disgusted taxpayer
As an anonymous but wise person said on the radio the other day, “A uterus is not supposed to be a clown car.”
I have to issue a recall on this particular pitting; apparently the price I got was so low, I had to go in today when the manager I was talking to on the phone was there to get it. (I was turned away from the closer outlet I went to yesterday after they said that was too low). My Dad bought a TV from him last month; I’ll have to find out where he got his magic negotiation skills. 
As a substitute, I pit the naturopathic memory-enhancing pills I’ve been taking recently (due to the fact that they are mostly Ginseng, which is what Cold-FX mostly is, only 1/4 the price). They haven’t affected my cold much, and whenever they cross my mind, it’s usually to realize that I’ve forgotten to take them today. :smack:
Why the fuck won’t my DVR let me cancel the recording of Damages at 10pm Wednesday so I can have it record Law & Order and Life On Mars at 10pm and then record Damages at 11pm? I’ve never had a problem doing this sort of thing before when I had a programming conflict. What’s really annoying is that I could have sworn I had done this on Thursday, but now it’s showing a scheduling conflict that it won’t let me correct.
I pit Dell Computers, and the new laptop we bought last weekend. It came with Vista Home Premium installed on it, which I have no problem with, but it’s the 64-bit version of Vista Home Premium. That means certain software won’t run on it, like, oh, for example, Flash Player? Which means that you can’t watch any YouTube videos, which is exactly the sort of thing someone using a laptop at home might want to do. :smack:
<sigh>
I’m using Vista Home Premium 64-bit, and have no problems watching YouTube videos?
Can we through the fertility doctors down in the Pit with her?
What the hell are you giving this woman fertility treatments for? Fertility assistance is for people who are infertile, or struggling with fertility. This woman already had six kids. She couldn’t be more fertile; she’s the definition of fertile. I recognize that fertility drugs and treatments, like other goods and services, are for sale. BUt doctors have an obligation to be responsible and ethical in their practice of medicine and, given the high incidence of complications in these “litter” type births, giving fertility treatments to this woman was IMO irresponsible and unethical.
Dear bank that holds my car loan - you are idiots. The bank that holds my mortgage had no problem giving me my mortgage balance over the phone (with appropriate identity-confirming questions). You assmonkeys are going to make me come down to your bank in person during your business hours and wait for as long as it takes to find out the balance owing on my car loan instead of taking 20 seconds to tell me the balance over the phone. Funny how I’m not feeling secure so much as pissed off right now, at having something that should take less than a minute taking God knows how long, complete with inconvenience to me. :mad:
Well, let me be clearer. The laptop came with a 64-bit version of IE 7 installed on it. If you try and run a YouTube video, a message displays saying “You probably have Javascript disabled or are running an obsolete version of Flash Player. Click here to install the latest version of Flash Player”.
Clicking on the link takes you to the Flash Player site and a message that says "Sorry, we don’t yet have a version of Flash Player that works on 64-bit browers. " Adobe’s current suggested solution is to run a 32-bit browser. Oooh-kay then. <sigh>
So this afternoon I downloaded and installed Firefox (which I was probably going to do anyway). Couldn’t find anything on the Firefox website with a quick search that said whether Firefox was a 32-bit browser or not, but I guess it was, as I was able to successfully download, install, and run Flash Player through Firefox. Now I can watch YouTube videos, etc.
It just bothers me that a laptop that’s probably targeted at a home audience wouldn’t support one of the most common uses right out of the box. :mad:
As someone who has been through the process personally I could not agree more. If she did indeed have eight frozen embies the proper thing to do would have been to transfer them one or two at a time. It is not honoring life at all to give birth to it in the worst way possible, to increase the very real possibility that you will have children with low birth weights and all the attendant risks therein.
She and her doctor make all infertilty patients – those of us who just want a child or two, who take meds and get into debt or work three jobs for something most people take for granted, who face needles without complaint, who take three forms of public transportation home and back to go through the process – they make all us look like raging lunatics.
She and that idiot doctor of hers represent no one in the infertility community. I am horrified anyone would believe otherwise. I am equally horrified that her idiotic actions will be used to wound those of us who are already hurting, who do not have six children let alone fourteen, who may only have a chemical pregnancy or merely a few welts on our backside to show for our efforts.
She’s not a mommy at all. She’s a breeder. I hope the only spot she gets in the spotlight is an interview with someone who will firmly tell her so.
Ahh. See, I’ve been using FF since my XP machine, so when I got my new Vista machine the first thing I did was download FF again, and burn all shortcuts to IE7.
That makes more sense now.
One of the Cleveland morning radio shows was talking about her today, and how outraged they were that she now has a “publicist” and is looking for a book deal. They were considering whether they would accept her as a guest if she did have a book; if they would turn her down out of disgust, or have her on so they could give her a smackdown.
CNN.com was mentioning that she’s looking to star in a TV show about how to be a good parent, or something like that. Despite living in the house that her folks bought for her and having no income to go with the 14 kids.
I know that the economy sucks. I know that the price of oil is in the toilet, and the price of natural gas is not much better.
I know that there will be layoffs, and that my company will survive far better than others.
However, it still sucks to be asked to leave your office in the morning cause they’re laying off your neighbor…
One today, one yesterday…I really wish they would just get it all over with rather than ruining every day with a random pink slip for someone.
(and yes, still thankful I have a job and all that stuff. I just happened to like my neighbor, even if she was a shouty Romanian)
The computers in class don’t have Word. I have a huge amount of typing I could do instead of sitting here surfing, but noo…
And the pineapple in my lunch leaked because the tupperware lunchbox it’s in isn’t watertight. Which is retarded. Luckily there wasn’t much liquid, but ick.
And I’m bored and bitching…
If you can surf, can you run Open Office?
It occurs to me that this might involve a download and install of the application that the proprietors of the computers would forbid, but it’s worth looking into…
Note to self: This weekend it’s going to be above freezing. When you work on chipping the ice off the driveway, like you did last weekend, remember to also get the ice out of the garage. That way you will not slip on the ice, twist your knee that is held together by rubber bands and screws and crack your head on the door frame of the car.
Like you did this morning.
Ouch.

I’m about halfway through this stupid paper I have to do and I don’t want to doooo itttttttttt.
I don’t usually feel this whiny about papers and this one isn’t particularly brutal. I’m just tiiiirrrrreeeeeeedddddddddddd and I don’t want to do it. I want to watch TV instead and go to sleep. Not do dumb papers.
NOBODY’S LIFE IS AS HARD AS MINE.
No download required. It’s just okay, the formatting is a bit weird. But I hope it’s useful to you!
