I haven't seen a full service gas station in a while. I don't think we have too many around here...
Nighty night whiners. Sweet dreams.

And Friday is almost over, ought to be happy its the weekend....but its all weekends to me since being laid off.....oh heck....do not need to get started on a rant about being umemployed!
That will be all from me.... it could turn nasty if I let it!!!!!!!

Dee, hvae been, loved it and hated it at the same time. Love the beaches...in some parts....hate the humidity around Brissy.
I just think I did too much... although never thought that would be possible either.

Thanks Manz I never would have known it meant low 70's?
Heck in the NW we almost hit 60 its still doesn't even feel like spring yet?
My whine is tomorrow is my 7 years and not one year yet has my family ever recognized the fact that I have totally turned my life around. I am not the same person I was and I believe I am a miracle.
I know its not tomorrow yet but I already know, after the 1st few years you would think I would be over it, well guess again, I guess some are sicker than others?
I watched Dr Drew tonight, love his show btw, and he was talking about how we can't expect people to give us what they haven't got, or are not healthy enough to respond in a way that is nurturing. So we have to parent ourselves and give us what we feel is missing.
Being a part of SR has been really good for my soul, but it has also taught me that there are people who are in relationships and families that are close and loving, and although I am happy for them, I am very envious and wish that could be me.
Its almost sick in nature how I have locked myself away, I have chosen to be single a little over 12 years and I only see my family once a year. So besides my cat I am pretty much alone. Except for here and a few AA friends.
Most days I am okay with that, but over the last few weeks I have had such pangs of lonliness. I question whether locking myself away from any sort of intimate relationship is normal or even healthy?
Wow I had not planned on sharing all that maybe I am just having a whiney pity party who knows?
Nite Nite

Newby, hon, get out in the world and just talk to people, you don't have to bring them home...just interact...life is short....I suggest the Barnes and Nobles coffee shops...safe places...i am also a big fan of ice cream shops.
another day another whine....i have slept well and am on the way to tackle the work responsibilities...then shopping...the cat food supply is dwindling down to 12 cans....the cats get nervous when inventory is low...."mom! wtf? where is the flaked tuna"?
cloudy today and rain predicted which can wash down the pollen i hope. and my contractor should be back today too...that man sounded like death warmed over with such heavy congestion....he also needs to quit smoking...when i hear him breathe i want to take a spatula and scrape out his throat and lungs!
geeze i hate cigarettes and that smell....ick.

Newby - A whiney pity party is encouraged here. I know how you feel - I have a strange family situation too - no one has even tried to understand what I went through. You aren't alone, though - you have us you lucky devil!
This house needs a good scrubbing & I'm not psyched for it. Every nook and cranny has been neglected the past few months. I'm actually embarassed looking around here. Must bite the bullet and get to it.

Whine on whiners! I am sure some injustice is just around the corner today that will merit a really good WHINE and a deep selfish settling into resentful wallowing by me me me.
Sorry for peepuls who are hurting or scared right now.
Newby, so inspiring! Congrats on you. Family is weird, what's all I can say.

Hey guys I am back I just had to repost. I sort of miffed someone off on another post. They were asking about the 9th step and so I gave my ES&H but they wrote back and told me I was arrogant and I was talking down to them..EEK OOPS. I guess maybe next time I should lie or something. Lol See ya

newby - I rarely speak my mind because I'm so afraid of offending someone. Better to be truthful, really. Though sometimes it ruffles feathers. Oh well.
frances - I love it - some injustice is just around the corner.
So true.

How can a PDF file get "damaged" when it is forwarded by email????
very strange....and certainly an injustice as it delays my grading processes.....
a cloudy cool day here....but i thought i noticed some sprouting of my newly planted bulbs this morning...or it is a new variety of weed...time will tell....i forgot to ask the garden guy where he planted all 40 bulbs, so it is always a "surprise"!
not a whine, but my purple canna has started to sprout a beautiful bright red/purple flower on the largest stalk...i am hoping for humming birds this year...i am being very hopeful on the whine thread..i will take it elsewhere.

I have a serious metric whine today, those who live in countries that have metric will understand, unless you grew up with metric, and those who don't can just whine along with me and trust the logic, and I will translate as I go. Keep in mind that I grew up non-metric and they made me change when I was too old to care.
I went to the gas station to get gas. It is $1.35 a litre (down from $1.41 earlier this week). I give them $30 (like Fandy, I don't self-serve)and got less than half a tank. $1.35 doesn't sound too bad...but it works out to about $5.40 a gallon *American whiners groan here*.
Then I went to the grocery store deli and they had my favourite coleslaw there, 99 cents for 100g. I got a medium container (which holds about 2 cups) and it cost me $3.19! Now see, I can't visualize 100 g. As it turns out it is about the size of spit in the ocean.
I weigh myself in pounds, but had to find an American scale. While in Florida I bought two thermometers (in case one breaks) because I would be dead before I every figured out what my temperature was in metric.
I do all right with distance. I know that 60 miles is 100 kilometers and can mentally swing back and forth when I visit the United States when the sign says 40 miles and my odometer is in kilometers, or when the speed limit is 70 MPH, I know that is about 115 km/hr. So I guess I can "visualize" speed and distance.
But I cannot for the life of me visualize size in metric.

Ck's bf just brought some of her stuff home. I will miss his presence this summer as he'll be in CA working for Apple all summer. A wonderful opportunity for him and could lead to a job after college next spring. But ck will miss him this summer.
I will too.
I think very highly of this young man - he can do no wrong in my eyes - and he worships ck which is fine by me.

and where will CK be this summer? driving mama's peaceful life into high gear? but she does cook, so you can have a personal chef.
congrats to the BF, sounds like a great summer job...if he has your stamp of approval he must be a keeper.
all the allergy meds i have been taking seem to be having a delayed affect..i could lay down on my desk and start snoring....if i take some caffeine in now, i won't sleep tonight!
