What Disappointed You Today?

[willow]

My terminally ill car dying between the first and second tip run. I really wanted to dump/recycle/donate this stuff today but I suppose another week of having it around won't kill me. Probably.

[tazz]

that i didn't workout... but it just means that i'll pump some Hard iron tomorrow with an hour of sprints! oh yes!!

[justkim]

Just about everything... that.is.all.

So sorry for you and your car! As a car-nut it always makes me sad when one dies...

Hi there people. It's been what seems like a million years since I have been to this site. Almost four weeks ago Graham and I had to pick up and move to Nebraska. We are without jobs, money, etc. Anyway...that is all on that topic. I'm just grateful that Graham's mom is helping out while we stress to get jobs to get back to how we normally live.

What I really wanted to talk about is this: We are an older couple (52 and 54). I am having a very hard time believing that I am this age. Again...another story. I went onto YouTube and Google search to try to find interesting videos, stories, etc about other butches and femmes. I found a load of stuff, but it was all the younger generations. I found an awesome series on YouTube called "Between Women", but that is only for black lesbians/studs. I watched it anyway because no matter what generation we are we all have gone through the same kinds of things. I just wanted to vent I guess. My questions are: what happens to femmes and butches when they become older? Do they hide out at home and disconnect from the social networks? Do they become staunch?

Grahamsgirl...not sure I am the one to talk to you about commununity because Arc is 51 and I am pushing 46 and we have no lesbian friends. That said, you are NOT invisible. There are people in your community that are so ready to be your friends. I have faith in this. I hope you will count me and Arc in as your first friends in Nebraska, despite the fact that we are in CT...Have you ever been to New England? It's a pretty cool place in some ways, and if you come to CT you can look us up...Now that said, if we get it in our heads to come to Nebraska (and we LOVE to road-trip!) would you mind showing us around?

[willow]

So sorry for you and your car! As a car-nut it always makes me sad when one dies...


I am not a car nut but it was a very sad moment. More so because it happened mid clear out. A car in a convenience I would rather not be without. Sigh...

psst.... don't you love it when you spot a typo after the edit option is closed? :rolleyes:

[Blade]

Had planned to go to church this morning but didn't make it. Disappointed in myself for not being there.

[girl_dee]

STILL no reply from my teacher. She sure was available to take tuition money!

i should be done with this course by now lady!

[nekohl]

Class tonight was great. We were doing some energy work. Sending energy through Meridians and learning more about Asian Body Work. It was really a great session. One of the girls in class had a melt down on the table. Major release for her, great learning experience.

So, we were wrapping up class and someone brought the conversation around to The Wiggles (a kids show for those not in the know) There is a new lady in my class who I think was a previous student. Not really sure why she's joined in with my class. Anyway, at the mention of The Wiggles, she wrinkled up her face and goes "They're GAY." as though is was the most vile thing to come out of her mouth.

I said "There's nothing wrong with being gay" annnnd then promptly shut down. Then it got all kinds of akward in there. Good thing it was the end of class. I could NOT wait to get out of there.

I am disappointed because up until that point I had a great day, great class, felt great, and then i let this lady bring me down.

I am disapointed in the disgust in her voice.

But mainly I am disappointed in myself because I had a chance to to speak out and all I could muster was 6 little words.

[WingsOnFire]

realizing hy was an hour away and that I couldn't go see hym after work. Knowing I would need a nap as soon as I got home I chose to go home.

I disappointed with myself today

[DamonK]

I disappointed with myself today

No. You've done nothing wrong. Medicine dosage mistakes happen. Crutches are learning experiences.

No reason to be disappointed in yourself.

All is well

[Scuba]

Extremely disappointed that some asshat just HAD to drive past a high fire risk barricade and in doing so sparked yet another fire.

Come on people!!! Really...

[girl_dee]

i bombed out in my Skype session today, i was SOOO nervous!

i hope i get forgiveness points for being nervous!


:nailbitin:

[clay]

Plans made, then "changed" at last minute. Twice now, I had my hopes up..and was dashed!!!

[cinnamongrrl]

Finding out Teddy WONT be moved back to the hospital nearer our house...his hospital is in the city and about an hour away....the girls are running amok in my absence....my mother is doing WAYY too much at the house....I just want him closer...is that so much to ask??? If so...while Im being uber demanding....i just want him HOME.....handle that universe .. :cigar2:

waking up and finding that my cold has moved down to my chest.

five days before I board the plane for Reuion!!!!!!

arrrrrrgh !!!!!

[CharmingButch25]

Having my insecurities played on,and the weekend being over! I dont want tomorrow to happen lol ,generally just a crappy day! I dont like sundays in general, my little one has to go with her birth dad and it sucks!

[Kenna]

disappointed I didn't get much done this weekend .. but that was my fault

[Scuba]

...another smoke-filled day.

[Gentle Tiger]

Thankfully, nothing!

[Greyson]

I want to be able to control this grief and I cannot. In and out of this feeling of melancholy, and reflection. My subdued feelings disappointed me today.

[grenade]

everything. nothing helped. shopping, music, even candy couldn't lift it.

[Katniss]

Watching parents blatantly ignore their kids...who clearly all they want is a little bit of focused attention. Put down the crackberry/cellphone people....your kid is in the pool hanging on the edge and begging you to come join him. And the "sports game" you are re-hashing...happened Yesterday...OLD news, your kid however is right here, right now......Sheesh!

Katniss~~(oh...and when he is a teen and doesn't listen/won't talk...think back on today)

[cinnamongrrl]

The Patriots.......................................... ........... :confused:

[CharmingButch25]

Having a hard day to face tomorrow and not being able to see her tonight,

[CharmingButch25]

What disapointed me today? Was Myself!

[lusciouskiwi]

Australian government voted no to same-sex marriage.

And, someone ... but we'll see.

[cinnamongrrl]

Three things.... Me, Myself and I :blush:

[Teddybear]

Three things.... Me, Myself and I :blush:

You should never be disappointed in yourself. Your the most amazing person I know. You are still taking care of me, working and trying to keep the house in order also.

Thank you for all you do and are going to do

[cinnamongrrl]

unofficial officials :|

[Nomad]

made a mess of life yesterday. probably will today too. not pessimism. just an observation of a pattern i've developed: be afraid - get a grip - exhibit courage - encounter setback - be afraid - get a grip - exhibit courage -encounter setback - be afraid - and so forth.

i seem to be stuck on 'be afraid'. (smacks the side of my head a few times to unstick things) nope. definitely stuck.

:worried:

surely this could have been handled differently...this was just a 6 pack of wolves. I'm dissappointed that not only did wildlife officials allow this to happen they participated in it.

[Abigail Crabby]

The cats thinking 7am was a great time for their morning wake up call..... :|

[cinnamongrrl]

not waking up in Salem..... :(

[Dance-with-me]

Being sicker than I've felt in a long, long time. :( Like, a very bad flu just without any fever level of sick, ache, ick. UGH.

[MaggieBluIze]

It's a silly disappointment, but one all the same ...

I don't watch TV, just don't ...
But I do watch Netflix ... Now.

I am discovering wonderful TV shows that have completely drawn me in!

I get to the end of the season on Netflix and
discover there are more seasons out there.
I then sign up for Hulu (LOL I know, I'm now addicted)
I can't get the 1st set of shows for the seasons I am wanting to watch.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
:beatcomputer:
Hulu, or other avenues I find, just provide the last 5 that have shown recently.
I want to see all the shows ... I was left hanging too at the end of the last season!!
*thinking how silly it would be to throw the fit that is in the back of my mind*
:whine:

LOL Okay ... It's funny ...
But I still want to watch them.
I'm gonna go pout now, but then get over it. :)

:heartbeat: this is my stress on a day of playing hookie!!

[puddin']

abso-freakin'-lutely nuthin...

[StrongButch]

A person not understanding and being supportive of the grief behind the loss of my Dad. Saying he died 10 yrs ago. WTF. Next!

[TheMerryFairy]

The thought of not being able to spend my evening the way I would like.

[jcisbutch]

saying good bye to my best friend at work who is being transfered to Texas....will miss her face terribly...we seem to have a way to keep meeting up and one of us transfers....sigh..

[cinnamongrrl]

The weather....it seems like it's going to rain today... :(

[Diablo]

where to begin? The person who stuck their nose where it didnt belong and LIED to anyone who would be willing to listen..and apparently there are many. The person who is playing their silly little game with many. The person who i thought was above all of this but...i guess not. My wife..who moved out and away in December. She put her anger towards me aside long enough to ask me to send her money. (yes i did it)

But most of all..im disappointed in myself...for allowing any of these people bother me. I know who i am and what i am..and they have NO idea. People will always believe in others what they see in themselves. IM honest to a fault..and loyal. People dont always like the truth especially when its something they dont want to hear....

[Glenn]

I am very disappointed today with the mental health care system here. How can they let a homeless person, with a major mental illness like schizophrenia, back out on the streets sick? My ex wife's brother just called, to tell me, he has heard, that she has been in and out of various facilities, walking the streets, begging, sleeping in airports, parks, buses, shelters, and God knows what else, etc.,for the past three years!

[cinnamongrrl]

Humanity....and the lack there of....

[StrongButch]

People not taking responsibility for their actions always blaming someone else! WTF

[maryam]

Setting the timer on the coffee pot for 7 pm instead of 7 am. :| This morning was hard...

[cinnamongrrl]

Finding out that the CNA class I wanted to take in June is full...AND they don't accept financial aid ANYHOW (despite the class being held at the college) because it is non-credit. Which also means that the phlebotomy is not covered by financial aid either.

BUT

This does mean that I can go to whichever class I want to since we are going to be paying out of pocket for it either way...I wasn't relishing the thought of spending 5 weeks commuting into a city I don't like to drive in...

Part 2 of this disappointment:

I wouldn't be going through all of this if I had just maintained my license instead of relying on jobs that did not require one. :|

[~ocean]

~~ words ~~

[cinnamongrrl]

I found a Justice League cartoon on Netflix.....but, sadly, it wasnt the fondly remembered version of my youth.... le sigh....

[candy_coated_bitch]

A stupid girl I don't even know.

[WingsOnFire]

Not being able to give Him the perfect anniversary day... Hoping He is sleeping and in less pain right now.

[NorCalStud]

....about one thing that Ive been disappointed about daily for years. It gets me everyday. :sigh:

[MaggieBluIze]

It's trivial, but still was disappointing ...

I recieved an email stating I've maxed out my mobile to land line minutes in 4 days of my new billing cycle.
Hy doesn't use a mobile phone ... I have unlimited mobile to mobile minutes.

Limits ...
Limits in communication when you are long distance is disappointing.

But there is still the option of Skype and messengers.

Thank goodness for the wonderful world of technology.

:waitinggirl:

[cinnamongrrl]

Our dog groomer called before we left for our appointment; she is sick and can't take the dogs today after all :(

We waited over a month for this appointment as it is. She does a wicked good job and is very nice and reasonably priced too..she has been doing our dogs since I was a small child. It rather breaks my heart that she hasn't been well... I feel awful that I may have to step out on her and take Jacques to someone else... :(

[girl_dee]

my job

oh well it is just that

[cinnamongrrl]

I went geocaching today on the way back home from the gym. Not only did I not find it, but I DID find that the long held tradition of "cache in, trash out" (CITO) has definitely not been upheld.
I know for a fact that particular cache was found 2 days ago. And yet the are has been left in a sorry state...
It's a memorial marker and yet it's not maintained, even by the state! I filled an entire bag with trash and will need to go back with another to finish it up..
And of course people littering in the first place is disappointing in itself....

[cinnamongrrl]

Only the weather. I really want to hike...and clean my car...

[Cailin]

waking up, and feeling like crapola

[FemmeBibliophile]

That I broke my favorite pair of Oakleys. Wah!!!!

[Prudence]

I had way to many soda's today. My belly is blotted and I feel crappy. Guess it will be water all day tomorrow. ............ :winky:

[randrum]

The staff at the Verizon Wireless store...

My cell phone was glitchy and their advice was to upgrade to a new phone. Not exactly helpful in fixing the phone I have.

[Gemme]

The weather! It's pretty much disappointed me since halfway through the end of January and the forecast.....ha!......doesn't look any better.

[Blade]

All this ice! Id rather be at work today than have to work Saturday

[JDeere]

Waking up way too early

[cinnamongrrl]

The lack of lingering...

[MysticOceansFL]

A Few things..........

[C0LLETTE]

the bread is stale, the milk went sour, the bananas are brown and the cheese is mouldy...

[Blade]

I didn't get to go see the new baby...maybe tomorrow

[cinnamongrrl]

Twas yesterday...

Pretty much tbe entire day...some cosmic malarky going on....

[candy_coated_bitch]

Just about everything. Especially being so spaced out I almost drove to Vermont by mistake. :|

[cinnamongrrl]

After a week of waiting to hear a small meow...I heard one...


But upon looking in the woods, I found it was the resident stray Siamese. He is fed by several people here, but wont allow anyone near him...

Still no sign of Lola...my heart is crushed...

[cinnamongrrl]

the bread is stale, the milk went sour, the bananas are brown and the cheese is mouldy...

You got yourself a blues song right there... and I will gladly take the bananas. They make the best bakies when they're brown...

[Blade]

Didn't get to fish cuz I had to tear down camp and be out by 3 and come back and pick the boat up by 5. But there's always next weekend

[A. Spectre]

For feck's sakes, let this young woman wear the tux! She is an academic beacon of light at this school which has a poor scholastic history. This is a self inflicted black eye for the principal and the school. Boo and Hiss.

[CherryWine]

My partner's brother is spouting off on Facebook yet again about homosexuality being a choice. And again, he is likening the legalization of gay marriage to the future legalization of pedophilia due to pedophiles claiming that they were "born that way." He is so blinded by bigotry that he truly can't wrap his brain around the consenting adults thing.

It is not even worth trying to have a conversation with him about it. You would think that someone with a gay sister who has helped him tremendously time and again throughout his life would be a little more mindful about spewing that bullshit, but no.

[cinnamongrrl]

As usual...time...or the lack there of...

[little_ms_sunshyne]

My morning alarm, it never fails to disappoint me lol

[Talon]

I have a break line issue with the bike that I want to take to the H.A's bike blessing event. I thought I was all set...so now I'll be working on that the whole day, tomorrow.

[Blade]

The auction tonight and a few of the yard sales today were anticlimactic

[cinnamongrrl]

My car had a funny "feel" to it this morning...and sure enough...as I'm driving the battery light came on.

I shut off everything including the radio and the light shut off...but I'm worried that one of my belt things is bad...and OF.COURSE my car dealer is closed today, so ai can't ask about the warranty pertaining tp belts or find out if/when the timing belt was changed recently...

This is just something I DON'T need on my plate right now...

[cinnamongrrl]

I disappointed myself....

I went to take the placement test for math at the college...and the SAMPLE questions were beyond me...

I have happily avoided all math classes since I started college many moons ago...and now I'm paying the price...I need to test well to satisfy the pre req for an anatomy class...looks like I will be taking a crappy math class instead.

*deep sigh*

[cinnamongrrl]

breaking something at a client's house...

he was super nice about it...but I was in tears....sigh

[RockOn]

I was disappointed today because I did not get to smack the new guy up side his head today. I like having my job too much to give into this strong temptation. He is a newbie at my workplace and he is an obnoxious bastard. He snorts his nose so loud a.l.l. f.u.c.k.i.n.g. d.a.y. l.o.n.g. And he plays the drum on his desk with his hands. Plus has that irritating as all fuck habit of sitting there clicking his pen over and over and over. I had some very tedious work going on and my concentration stayed shattered.

Today I told my supervisor I was going to kill this guy. My supervisor said to quit going over to the entrance of his cubicle and glaring at him.

I totally understand there will always be some type of distracting noise in any software development environment ... but this is way, way over the line. It is unimaginable ... you really have to be there to understand the severity.

Being called, and I quote, a "fucking bitch" for having the audacity to make a left-hand [whilst, for the record, making use of the appropriate signals] turn onto my street.

I am really starting to think that drivers licenses should not be issued unless applicants can demonstrate the ability to maintain control of their emotions while on the road.

Seriously. If you feel that enraged by another driver on the road making a legal turn, you really need to gain some perspective.

Sorry you have to deal with that. My old workplace had a guy who would always clip his fingernails (at least I hope they were his fingernails) in his cubicle so everyone could hear. It was a pleasant combo of annoying, unhygienic and gross. :twitch:

You never know....it could work out really well or it could just be a typical Hollywood rumor.

Here's something that doesn't seem disappointing to me in the meantime.

[RockOn]

Gemme, thank you for your thoughtful suggestion. I appreciate you taking the time.

Several years ago I paid $79.00 plus tax for some noise cancelling type earphones, even bought some earplugs too. I cannot wear the headphones all the time and forget earplugs. I have to laugh - I had an earplug jammed in so deep, thought I was going to have to go to Harbor Freight and purchase extra long needle nose pliers to remove it.

Today I decided to bring my huge LASKO max performance fan in to work tomorrow. I feel encouraged this may be the answer. It is loud but does not disturb me. In fact, I always sleep with a fan on. I find I rest better during the night with one on.

This total idiot developed hiccups mid-afternoon, the loud nauseating sounding type and would not get up off his dead rump to go to the breakroom for a large glass of water. After 10 minutes, I had to get up and leave for awhile. I feel confident in saying he was raised in a barn on a pig farm. I saw a friend at the copy machine and told her if he ever starts with the farting, that is it.

Some hetero males take such privilege, I notice this more and more all the time. It is very visible at my place of employment.

No worries, I will get this worked out somehow. :)

[RockOn]

Yes, yes ... so many men will sit there and do that disgusting thing in the workplace. Or really, any public place. I had to train the ones around me that was not to be done at work. Soon as one moves in and starts cutting his fingernails, I go right over to them.

I have known one, only one, woman cut her nails at work. This was about 3 years ago. It went on way too long. I went to her and asked her if she intended to cut her toenails when she completed her fingernails. She said, "why, is it bothering you?" I said it would be a good time for me to take my break if she did that. She got the message ... never did it again.

Men don't care. You have to go to them over and over with direct reminders and get meaner each time.

[Rockinonahigh]

I am disappointed that my screwed up knee is taking so long to get well. It is better but taking way to long to get to the point it was when I had the last Supratz shots, by time I got this far with the three shot routine I was near normal but cause it didn't last the six months it was supposed to I had the five shot routine to see if it makes it to six months. Why it worked so well the first time but not now...I have no idea. But I do know I wont have any more of the supratz, Its just taking to much out of me to be on a leg and a half.

[RockOn]

Rockinonahigh, I sure hope you get some long term much needed relief very soon. Sorry you are having to experience all the pain you are currently suffering.

[Rockinonahigh]

Rockinonahigh, I sure hope you get some long term much needed relief very soon. Sorry you are having to experience all the pain you are currently suffering.


Thanks for the reply Rock On. This has gone on way to long, I was getting injections of Lidocain in my knee from pain care where I get my back worked on and they did pretty good, then I herd about supratz from someone who used it what they said was good enough to give it a try but I had to go to another Doctor for the shots. I have a pain care Doctor that I spoke to about this first before I got the first shot he said it was worth a try if it could give me
that much help, you can bet I will go back to the other stuff when it is safe to. I have arthritis in my knee from a stretches ACL that has scar tissue built up and agravateing it, now I need a knee rebuild but the doc says I need to lose 50 more pounds first.

Looking for an alarm clock that chimes gently instead of traumatizing me each morning. When I typed bell alarm clock into Google, I was hoping for a less expensive version of the Zen Alarm Clock, but found this

http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=96313100

instead. These are even worse than the one I have now! Then I thought I might make my own, but I'm afraid I'll get arrested, dies laughing.

[Barb42]

Disappointed in myself for not being string enough to let things go...

[Rockinonahigh]

Being my knee isn't steady enough to walk around with out a cane outside of the house I really am disappointed not to be able to take a walk in this nice fall weather. Not far from hear is an old riding stable that had the best walking
trails, I know the owner so can go there anytime I feel like it, hopefully before long I will be able to go.

[cinnamongrrl]

meh...

so much lately....

winter coming and knowing my daughter wont be back from Massachusetts before it sets in...

a persistent ankle injury that is keeping me out of the woods at my favorite time of year...

my bosses....I'm not feeling the love any more...

Not getting at least one trick or treater!

The way my hair looks after laying down while it was still wet. Horrifying. :|

It's raining...

I'm still trying to make sense of how the Mets gave away the World Series last night :(

[Tuff Stuff]

That I couldn't be left alone for one fucking hour today..just one hour to be left, ALONE!..:bath:


Rule num.1

[Gayandgray]

That I didn't hear back from one of the jobs I applied to.

[Chad]

I have a friend that is in a real jam but I don't have the resources to help her. I wish that I knew how to help her or could suggest some resources. I feel kind of helpless.

:deepthoughts:

[Gayandgray]

That my best friend isn't being very supportive of my mid-life crisis choice. I admit I made a mistake, I own it, I'm trying to fix it. Sheesh, what more can I do???? LOL, I guess she is just giving me some tough love which I guess I need.

Nothing. I'm not saying 'yet' because I'm choosing to have a disappointment free day.

This kind of day only seems to be possible on my days off, I've learned.

I forgot to put sun block on so now I am red.

My reaction to a friend. I thought I could ignore her negativity but I let it get to me......:|

[Chad]

I woke up in the dark stretched then rolled over to cuddle with the baby kitty just to have the alarm go off at 5:00 am. We were both disappointed.


:rollcat:

[Logicaly]

The weather! It was supposed to be super hot today, and it was, just not at the beach we were at. Lots of fog, and wind. Not a great beach going time.

[Gayandgray]

A text from a friend early this morning.

[girl_dee]

Matt Lauer...... :(

Matt Lauer...... :(

I'm not surprised at all Dee. I was just telling my daughter Cassandra I wonder when his dirt laundry is gonna be exposed. His ego got the better of him all threw his marriage.

Yes and his wife Annette has probably had enough...

That Ann Curry more than likely DIDN'T do a 'happy dance' when she heard the news about Lauer! She's way to much of a class act for that!

The comments by Angela Lansbury where she says women must sometimes take the blame for sexual harassment for the way we dress.

when I read about Trump getting back on the Obama birth certificate witchhunt again ... geez, we have North Korea testing another missle and Trump is having to get on that obsession boat

Any and all news about Trump makes me scared.Thinking he was dropped on his head as a baby and it caused his mind to be uneven. (that was my nicest way of putting it so far, anybody notice I did not use the f word or any other special words this time when talking about Trump???? ) Just don't get used to it. Our president sickens me!

He is just a demented loon but a very dangerous one. He has the power to make our world even more treacherous. I am profoundly disapointed in Republicans in the Congress and Senate that want to hold onto their power so badly that they allow this behavior from him, without a word of reproach. The only ones that have said anything are those not seeking reelection in 2018.

Some of his Tweets are simply insane.

Disappointed me today? More like he revolts and disgusts me every single day.

[RockOn]

agree with girl_dee

~ocean sure is bad but so funny! (cracked me up! Heh Heh!)

My stepdaughter, as usual. And her grown children who are following the same sad path as their Mother. Very disappointing and upsetting to my spouse and me also.

[RockOn]

Just very let down right now.

I have been cutting down pine trees today with my Black Friday saw. So sweet! Having a fabulous go at it

Who could know everything could turn to shit so rapidly?

One bad cut has ruined the rest of the afternoon. I went in too deep ... the tree pinched the bar and chain. It was difficult getting it out. I mean my poor little Black Friday chainsaw was helpless, just hanging in the tree while I went to retrieve tools to remove it.The tree started falling toward me after I put a wedge in there and began tapping with a sledge hammer. I had been holding my new little saw as I tapped but when the tree was coming my way, I let go of the chainsaw and dove away. It hit the dirt. I have cleaned it but am almost afraid to crank it ... possibility it may have taken on some sand when it hit the ground. Chainsaws do not like sand.

And after all that, the damn tree is stuck about 90 feet up on another tree. It won't fall by itself

I am beat. There's less than an hour of daylight left. Tomorrow I will hook the tow strap to the tree, attach the strap to my truck and we'll say Bye Bye to this aggravating pine tree.

[RockOn]

More optimistic about the incident late yesterday afternoon. I only lost a couple of hours work while it was still daylight. And after cranking the chainsaw, I see it is fine. I was tired yesterday upset about the hold-up is all.

This morning I have re-evaluated the mess I left yesterday with the tree caught up in another tree's branches. It'll be a non-quiz to get that tree down. I do need to quit getting so cocky with outdoor machinery though. When I am having a good time and things are going well, I notice I go too far with it, push my luck. Yesterday I knew I was cutting in too deep with that one cut but thought I would just hurry things along. I now see what happens to me with that mindset. Last night I recalled summer of 2016 when I was having a party with that GroundHog auger I rented from Home Depot. I went too deep (knew better) and buried the auger tight. It was like buried in concrete ... took half a day to dig it out in scorching heat and over the top humidity. I know I do not want to end up in a youtube DUMB-ASS EPIC FAIL LUMBERJOCKING video. LOL ! I wonder if there is anyone else here who does things like this.

I will take out the limb late afternoon because yesterday was supposed to be only day of weekend to work outside. I must do indoor work today when I get back from buying groceries and getting a haircut. Now I wish I had done housework, bought groceries and gotten haircut yesterday. I despise working indoors. It makes me feel trapped. :( But I seriously need to quit whining about it or hire a housekeeper.

Hey RockOn, I am in the same position and need to give in and hire a home cleaning company.

Please be careful with that hard core tree removal. Think about having a spotter for those big jobs. I would hate it if you got hurt alone. I use my mom as a spotter. She can't help but she can dial 911.

You know that there are, that's how you know about epic fail videos!

The biggest reason is one that Chad mentioned: you could truly hurt yourself and how would anyone know, unless you have a

"I've fallen and can't get up" necklace that you could push.

Are you getting one?

I thought not.

I did lol at homoe's comment about one of your dogs turning into Lassie and going to get help.

It really is not funny. We know that you are a tough butch but there are limits even for tough guy butches!

Really.

[Femmewench]

Ya what Chad said! You're way out in god's country and unless one of your dogs in the reincarnation of Lassie and can run and beckon for help, you could be laying out there hurt for some time Rock!

You could always get the "Help, a tree has fallen on me and I can't get up" alert system.

[RockOn]

Thanks to all of you for your caring suggestions. Going to seriously look at the house-keeper one.

These yesterday were punk trees. I know I will call my neighbor to come over and be a watch guard when I get into trees larger than 16 to 17 inches in diameter.

And there are 6 or 8 I decided to back away from, hire some loggers. I do not think State Farm would cover rebuilding my entire home if I dropped one of these massive trees on it.

Off now to check on the "I've fallen and cannot get up" medical necklaces. Hoping for a bracelet model. Funny, I thought about that jewelry when I saw the timber rattlesnake several months ago. Copperheads usually only make a person very very sick and heard it is very painful but hunters have a healthy fear of the timber rattlers ... they are deadly.

Shakespeare’s Sonnets Are Banned In Texas Prisons. But Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’ Is Allowed.


Not that I would ban "Mein Kampf' perse, but to ban Shakespere's Sonnets?!

Monty Python’s ‘The Big Red Book,’ ‘Where’s Waldo’ and ‘Freakonomics’ are also banned.

The Texas prison system has a head-scratching list of banned — and permitted — reading material for its 150,000 inmates that bars Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Color Purple, but allows books extolling principles of the Ku Klux Klan.

A collection of Shakespeare’s sonnets (because it contains nude images of children), Monty Python’s The Big Red Book (nudity), Where’s Waldo (contains stickers), the economic theory book Freakonomics (may cause “offender disruption”) and 10,000 other books are not allowed. Adolf Hitler’s anti-Semitic screed Mein Kampf and two books written by former KKK grand wizard David Duke are perfectly acceptable. Nearly 250,000 titles are permitted within the prison system.

The twisted list turned up in an analysis of the reading material by The Dallas Morning News.

The logic can be confusing. Some books are banned by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice because officials fear heavy-duty bindings could be used to cache contraband. Content that describes how to make drugs, guns or explosives, and how to escape detection for criminal activity are also a no-go. Nudity and sexual images are also banned, which makes graphic novels like The Walking Dead prohibited. Atlases are banned because they could be used to plan an escape.

Regardless of the stated rules, “many of TDCJ’s censorship decisions are bizarre,” and some are downright “insidious” and “unconstitutional,” noted a report by the Texas Civil Rights Project in 2011. Banned books include many that are critical of the Texas prison system, the report stated.

The Color Purple is banned because it describes incest. As for Mein Kampf, it “doesn’t violate our rules,” TDCJ deputy chief of staff Jason Clark explained to the newspaper.

I am always disappointed when I see someone publicizing their own "act of kindness." I immediately question their intention. Especially now with social media, where they post it for everyone to see. I see that as wanting praise and pats on the back. If you are really doing it to be kind, then do it and move on. No need to crow to the world about what a great thing you did and expect attention. Unless, that was your intent all along.

Totally get what you're saying re: getting a chain saw stuck and losing momentum on the day! The pinch is annoying as hell... even when you've weighed n measured every angle and it STILL gets stuck! :blink:

family drama..............*puts blinders on*.

[Kobi]

It's New England. It's winter. It's Xmas. Weird weather is the norm.

It was raining. Now it is snowing. It is cold. The winds are howling. BTW weather channel, the winds are coming from the north not the west. Yes, it matters here.

Had to drive 2 towns over to find a convenience store that was open and had electricity. A 10 min drive turned into a half hour or so of dodging debris, tree parts, tree branches, and trees. Felt like I was in a remake of the Wizard of Oz.

The lights are flickering. Xmas dinner is in the oven early - just in case the electric goes off. It would be romantic to have Xmas dinner by candlelight.
I'm not even dealing with the fact I have electric heat. We seldom lose power but when we do it means the entire town is out.

Anyway, it will an adventurous day.

Happy Xmas everyone.

[~ocean]

THEY DON'T CALL THE WEATHER RIGHT ANYMORE ~ I agree Kobi from a coating to 2 " we are having a storm instead ~ I expected the high winds ~ it's a Norman Rockwell scene this Christmas ~ snuggle up people it's gonna be a bumpy ride !

[PlatinumPearl]

I would have to say most times my disappointment comes from people.

I most recently I have been chatting with a someone again after they ghosted for months. I don't understand their logic behind this hot and cold behavior but it is definitely disrespectful. Anyhow, out of respect for myself I cut cords.

It's sad that some people just have no respect for others and don't know the true meaning of friendship. Maybe one day they will learn.

Sugar cookies from the farmer's market that were marked "old fashioned sugar cookies"...

[cinnamongrrl]

All I want is some potato salad...

The other day, I started some potatoes and eggs and went upstairs. I fell asleep and burned the pot and all.

So... today I tried again. I started the water to boil and added in the taters. The whole displacement of water thing totally escaped me and I flooded the gas stove, extinguishing the little fire that makes the ringer start.

It’s my first gas stove. I don’t know how to light the thingy back up. Can’t reach my honey at work to ask and it occurred to me to call my mom and ask....which led to yet ANOTHER episode of sobs... and I’m back in my room.

So no potato salad for me.

Meh

[cinnamongrrl]

Going book shopping with my honey. He’s not into books. I felt like I had to amuse and distract him the whole time so I could peruse for a few seconds on my own.

Definitely NOT going to repeat that again. I like to take my time and look around.. I feel slightly robbed of the proper experience it should have been.

Yesterday wound up being pretty good and I did get out to vote, which is more than most people did. Low numbers!

[WheatToast]

Nothing yet today. The day's early but I hope it will stay that way.

I disappointed myself, when I let a resentment from yesterday carry over to today.
Once that happens, I get annoyed at the stupidest things...like someone mixing upper and lower case letters in hand-lettered signs.
One of my clients makes small signs for his restaurant to advertise upcoming music acts, etc. They look like this:

ThURsDaY liVE MuSic wiTh daVE SMith 8:30

Then he tapes them to the glass next to the entrance, so the place looks like wild animals make their signs.
Mixing UC and lc letters should be a misdemeanor, heavily fined.

[girl_dee]

myself. i am disappointed in myself.

I’m trying to regroup but today was just one of those days.

I have been doing accounting work for many years. I like to balance things, and find errors. I love to calculate and work on margins. I have always been really good at it. I am not sure what is happening.

I had one special thing to do today, and it was not a complicated task, but I just could not get there. My boss kept checking the project and reminding me that it was still wrong, and I just made it worse and worse trying to fix it. It was embarrassing and humiliating. He is such a nice man, my boss.... he went on to school me on how I need to take my time to get things figured out, and how he does not want to have to check my work but is worried with my mistakes today. It involves his money and boy does he watch that.

I was right in the middle of working it out, and I stopped and started 3 other things, I just could not focus. I had to fight to stay on track and I kept getting lost in the task.

I don’t know who I am anymore!

[Kätzchen]

Learning that the GOP henchmen have subverted the justice system by failing to empower the FBI to conduct an exhaustive investigation into the background of Kava-Not.


I hate that this is happening. It makes me very ill. It triggers me in very deep ways. All week long I've experienced hissing in my ears, shortness of breath, panic, anxiety, and all kinds of other symptoms.

It never goes away. Ever. I've cried so much this past week.
