I agree with Dave. True vulnerability is probably the most terrifying and most beautiful thing about being human. A tender heart loves more deeply, but feels pain more intensely as well. It's very worth it, in my opinion, though choosing to move towards what may hurt you instead of running away to safety can be a very difficult habit to break.
This is a grr and also a yay...
One of my closest friends, if not my closet friend is going through a break up from a 3 year relationship. It really sucks to see someone you care about in pain. I feel like I don't have the words to comfort him. But I've kept this post saved, as it truly has given me comfort. I just quoted this post to my friend, and although he's still hurting it gave him the same comfort it once gave me. So I'm grring that my friend is hurting. But I'm grateful that because of the words that Jazmo gave me, I can pass it on.
You're just too young to grasp how stylin' I really was. All the boys wanted to do me when I was 5. Actually the girls did too. My haircut was confusing.

Just tell him to sack up. Plenty of fish in the sea. Plenty.

That's a beautiful post from Jaz. Obviously this is a slight oversimplification, but there are two kind of people in the world: those who are willing to put their all into, and give their all to, someone and those who aren't. The latter is scared by vulnerability, scared so much by the possibility of getting their heart broken that they can't give themselves over to someone fully. It is very painful to be the former type who invests themselves in the latter type, but as someone who is still getting over a failed relationship with an individual who did everything he could to avoid being hurt and thus ended up deeply hurting the both of us, I have to say that they aren't worth it. Not that these are inherently bad people but until they learn to love unabashedly and selflessly, they won't provide the kind of unconditional love that we all as humans deserve. Heartbreak fucking sucks, but I'm so glad that I'm able to let myself feel enough that heartbreak is a possibility. Being numb/scared of vulnerability is not the stronger alternative, and it won't allow you to ultimately find happiness. Just remember that. We, the ones who can unconditionally love, are not the weak ones, even when heartbreak leaves us feeling like we are.

My friend said something about DP the other day, and how she couldn't date a guy who isn't against it. And I was like "yeah I mean that's definitely not for everybody." Then realized she meant "death penalty," not what I was thinking of....... #mindingutter

Been a rough stretch for me. I bombed a final exam tonight. The class only consist of two grades, a group project and the final. Our group was doing a research design that was just too erratic to complete. The professor understood the issue and said he would give us an extension on it. As a group, we would have to make an A- or A on the project just to give me a C- in the class...and I don't even know if I can keep my funding having a C. I honestly don't know if I will stay in grad school if I don't have my GA position.
I feel jaded because my whole direction may be changing cause of 1 exam.
I hate to be the one that brings the grrr thread back to the first page of recents, but I feel horrible. Hubby had a neuropsych exam Friday. They said he scored "less than random" and that he must have done it on purpose, probably driven by depression and anxiety. No neuro cognitive deficits detected. He can't remember from one moment to the next, but he has no deficits?! Think dementia and that is how he acts now, which kills me. Then, they discuss all this but weren't keeping me in the loop..I had to piece information together. They also weren't talking to...get this...his mental health providers! I had to inform them because his regular provider has lifted all his duty restrictions (cept the weapon. He can't have it) and he's being thrown back out there expecting to perform. An approximate phrase I heard today "he needs to start functioning at work, or he will be discharged with no benefits..why would he want to lose all that? It just seems so silly". The Army is not a forgiving workplace, so if they are saying this is psychological then his mental health docs need to find a therapy program asap, because his unit will eat him alive...
Oh, and my 12 year old got suspended for the rest of the school year because of a poor word choice on a note that was construed as bullying. This day has just sucked.

I am so sorry. It sucks that they want to risk anyone's safety by having him back to full duty. and god forbid something does happen, then what? This is so not fair. Depression can absolutely effect brain function, however, not like this!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm thinking of you all and again am so very sorry this is all happening they way it is. hugs to you
So I checked my bank account not too long ago. And somehow somebody got my card number and emptied the entire account. Called the bank and they put the card on hold, wont me credit me the money till their "investigation" is complete (which can take up to 15 business days), and they are saying that since the transaction is still pending I need to call back or show up in person once the money goes through to say the charges are fraudulent... So I need to wait until I am already robbed before they will do anything, rather than just stopping it while it's happening... Seriously fuck them. Going to dispute the charge and then close my account. If the bank can't secure my money I might as well throw it under a fucking matress. In the mean time I am supposed to what? Panhandle for food and gas money for two weeks? Fuck them.

Ugh I am sorry to hear that. Seriously, that is a dumb ass policy. As for the panhandling, here in NOLA those guys make a shit-ton of money.

this unfortunately occurred to me as I came back from the inforoo cabin meetup.
What it is, is a scheme that has been going on in the hood for a bit - it involves card readers and assessing press in data from last transactions.. They can scheme a lot of cash out of there as long as they have figured out your correct, or near correct pin. Push on your bank hard to get a resolution document and it will help to have proof that the transactions couldn't be you (ie. you being in a completely different region or use of a completely strange ATM). I was stuck with nothing for about a week, but by day 7 I received some provisional credits (Wells Fargo). But ya fuck em. They are making money off your ass even with your shit on hold #stuckinthewheel

This is the kind of crap that makes me want to use cash for EVERYTHING.

Until you really live in the hood, with money and gear, and you know you shouldn't be holding all that cash. No. Matter. What.

I've had this happen some three or four times now. It fuckin' sucks and the banks sucks even harder.

True. You know it's bad when credit cards may be the best option. I had a card "compromised" recently and wasn't out any cash for it, they handled everything and got me a new card within a few days.

I've lived in the hood. Usually hood don't rob hood, even if you only rock cash. They go to the nicer areas to rob. At least here anyway. But that's usually only a blk or two away since that's how Nola is.
My girlfriend's fuckin' dogs still keep shittin' in the house and she still does nothin' to discipline them! If I don't do it, it doesn't fuckin' get done with these two dogs! And I didn't agree to them bein' an addition to our relationship to begin with! Look, her house I guess. But it's gettin' hard and I'm losin' my patience!

I usually love Waze, but that bitch made me 20 minutes late for work today. I was projected to be on time when a little window popped up and said "HEY THERE'S A BETTER ROUTE, 8 MINUTES FASTER, LET'S GO THIS WAY", so I did.... and it steered me miles away through back alleys and residential streets and right up to a CLOSED freeway on ramp.
Hundreds (if not thousands) of people drove by that major on ramp this morning, and not one person reported it as closed? Crowdsourcing fail.
So that Mumford & Sons fest I bought earlier this year for $199? Well now Front Gate is selling the tickets for $96. I'm pissed. And of course they won't give a refund because this promo wasn't available when I bought the ticket. I decided after buying them that I wasn't gonna go because it wasn't worth the price, and then changed my mind back because I wasn't gonna get near face value for them so I might as well go, and now this. Stupid fucking tickets. It's gonna be an expensive weekend of spending money right before Roo, or I sell them at a $150 loss or some shit like that and don't go. I'm not happy about this.

You guys ever had a bad struck of luck? I've been feeling like that lately and it fucking blows. It's 28 days till bonnaroo, my first bonnaroo, and I've lost weight and eating healthy and yet I still feel like a huge pile of crap. It's like i'm not even enjoying my countdown for bonnaroo. When I think of bonnaroo I just think meh, the experience really can't be THAT life changing. The lineup is ok and sub par but really the reason why I bought the ticket was because of this experience that people have and I need that experience.But maybe I'm setting high expectations or I just think people hype it up. I feel like a piece of crap/shit because of stupid shit I do. It feels like everything I do, no matter of my intentions, always seems to shoot me right back in the face ( I don't know if that's a saying, it is in spanish. I hope you get the gist of it).

That sucks.
My Garmin GPS was telling me last night, 4.1 mile/20 minute delay on I-84 between exits 73 and 74.* I got to x73, and didn't see a wall of brake lights ahead - pressed my luck staying on 84 while others got off the highway.
There was bridge work being done at x74, and the right lane was closed just after x73 - but that 20 minute delay never existed. I was able to breeze through, no problems. Just slowed down a little right at x74.
* - Random fact: For those of you confused about how exits 73 and 74 are four miles apart - Connecticut (mostly) uses exit numbers in sequential order, not by mileage.

I'd try Stubhub and see what happens. You could get lucky and get close to what you paid. People might be desperate as the time gets closer. I can't imagine the $96 deal will last long.

Lol they're going for 65 on StubHub, so as a seller I'd get even less than that. I think I'm just gonna end up going.

Guys, I'm freaking out. So the position I start at the end of the month REQUIRES working Reunion Weekend. Which is the first weekend of June. During the final stages (before accepting), I confirmed that Bonnaroo will work. It was confirmed (it still is). What I juuuuuuuuuuust learned is that Reunion isn't set as the first weekend of June, but rather set as "three weeks after graduation." I looked at the approved calendars for the next two years... REUNION WILL BE BONNAROO. Although there's not an approved calendar for the academic years after that, it seems like Reunion will be Bonnaroo weekend more often than not.
Seriously, I'd rather them tell me I have to work Christmas.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
Hardly a grrr because at least it waited until after I got back from Shaky Knees, but as it always seems to do after three weeks of not sleeping because of being crazy busy with school and then a festival, i'm getting sick
