Had to file the 3rd insurance claim for Hubby's truck we've only had for about 4 months today >< The first two were for theft/vandalism, this one was a straight up hit and run that happened sometime while it was parked on the street for the weekend. I think it's weird that we live in a much "nicer" neighborhood than before, but our vehicles were never messed with when we lived in a more dicey area. Argh.
Also because this one was considered an accident, the deductible is 5x higher than the other two were. Happy Tuesday-Monday!
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
I've never really left the South, but I'm just saying that I think I'm more desensitized to certain things than someone who was born and raised somewhere else.

I wanted to get home and review the awesome week I had but arrived to some sad news. My cat of 14 years got placed back on the food chain by a coyote while I was gone. Instead of writing a review, I'll say it was a great weekend and a heart breaking return.
I'll miss you kimo, play hard in your next adventure and thank you for being so special.

I found her next door to my house at a city park, the last of a litter left in a box to live or die there by someone I came to be thankful for. Their mistake gave me the coolest little companion and I can't be thankful enough for my time with her.

Big hugs to you. I know how hard it is to lose our little furry family members, they really have a way of wedging their way right into your heart.
When I was growing up, my dad was really sick and none of us kids were old/responsible enough to take care of a dog, and my mom couldn't take care of my dad, the kids, and a dog. But my dad wanted us to have a pet because he knew the kids needed something to cheer them up with him having so many surgeries and procedures done, so we got a cat. I really wanted a dog so I wasn't too excited at first, but when we brought the cat we picked out home I changed my mind instantly. I loved my cat so much, we even named him my dad's nickname when he was growing up. I was definitely his favorite, he would jump in my lap, sleep with me, and follow me around all the time, and didn't start doing that to other family members until he was older. Even when I was at school and I would come home to visit, he would act like I never left and ignore my brother, which wouldn't make my brother happy lol. Shortly after I moved to Chicago, my cat passed away, and I was heartbroken that I wasn't home to be there. He was old, so we knew it was coming, but I wasn't ready for the phone call from my mom. Every time I go home I expect to see him at the door meowing to greet me, but he's not, and it's really weird. I always got some crap from friends because they knew how close I was with my cat while they all had dogs, and it wasn't until later that I told them why I had a cat and not a dog, and then they finally shut up about it. Cats really are great companions, I don't care what anyone says. I'm really sorry for your loss Tainted Opossum, I know it really does suck. I can't imagine coming from a place as happy as roo and having that happen (well, I did get appendicitis the day I got back in 15, but I healed from that).

I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure you were awesome to your cat.
i'm updating in here because unsurprisingly, people in my real life don't want to ever talk about cancer. it's really strange to go through these big life changes and have friends that totally avoid the subject, or avoid me in general so it is never brought up. i'm not really surprised since the same thing has happened over the last few years when i've suffered major losses, but it doesn't make it easier to feel pretty alone in this outside of my family. my dad is having surgery on friday to remove what is left of the tumor and lymph nodes, just to be safe. he'll be in recovery for about six weeks before starting chemo. he is still feeling positive, but it all makes me nervous, not knowing what the next few months are going to look like for him.

It's such a bummer when friends are like that. I know people get uncomfortable, but a good friend knows that it's more important to be supportive than to avoid a little discomfort. And it's totally understandable that that would make you nervous, but it's great that he's feeling positive! Sending lots of good, healing thoughts yours and your dad's way.

Good thing you have all of us internet weirdos. <3

"Sure, you can have three small dogs here," said no apartment ever! It looks like our only option is renting a house, but I know nothing about Macon, and I can't really go out there to check places out, so I'm afraid of renting somewhere based only on pictures and then getting there and finding out it's awful.

I have only ever rented houses and not an apartment. I completely get you with worrying about that, definitely do research on the area before you say yes to the house. See if you can sign a 3 month or 6 month lease instead of a year; if it is horrible you can easily move once you have been in the area and can look in person.
Also, around here some of the local realtors do leases and rentals also, you might want to look into that. They will be very knowledgable about the areas and will help you to steer clear of bad areas. Also, one of my friends had the realtor facetime while the realtor did a walk-through.
I am sure this is extremely stressful, but I hope that some of these will help and maybe elevate the stress.

I've thought about trying to contact a realtor down there. I think that will be my next move. Thanks!

Have you talked to Kim? She's probably your best non-professional help for Macon.
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.

I did last night! She's going to ask around for me. I also got in touch with a guy I went to high school with who works for Historic Macon, and he's going to check on some things as well, so hopefully between the two of them, I can get a lead on something.

I knew it would work out for you. <3 Best of luck!

Boyfriend and I were driving home last night and got hit by a guy going down a one way the wrong way. Thankfully no one is hurt. If we didn't stop when I yelled, I'd be in the hospital right now. So I'm very grateful for boyfriend's reaction time. Probably not going to be riding in the passenger seat of a car for a little bit though.
I am so sorry to hear this and so glad you are ok. Car accidents are the scariest shit. I was in two that I am lucky to walk away from, it can be extremely traumatic. Thank god he had great reaction timing. Fuck the car, y'all are good and that is all that matters. Take your time getting comfortable in a vehicle again, don't let anyone rush you. Once again, I am so glad you are ok.
I was at a friend's rooftop to watch the NYC fireworks last night. there was a massive group (like 30+) of what looked to be 17-20 year olds sitting near us - they definitely weren't of age because we watched them run around stealing people's booze and then someone brought a few of them beers, in a way you could def tell they were a buyer for the kids, not just sharing... and they had their own personal 12x12 inch mirror in the middle of them. for doing rail after rail of blow. not even trying to hide it.
look, I don't care if you want to have a good time here and there. but seeing these kids that might have even been in high school casually doing hard drugs really bothered me. kids are stupid enough when they don't know how to deal with alcohol. they (probably) have no idea what they're doing to themselves. the drug culture here overall is just too much sometimes. I feel like in certain neighborhoods all I see are zombied out people at the bar and it just makes me feel sad.
