If we got in a real war, we would sarin, soman, and other nerve gasses(Antharax, VX) to kill everybody.
Uh…no. No we wouldn’t.
Every time I started watching something, I’d just fall asleep. It was one of those deals where just waking up and adjusting the blankets was totally draining. Woulda been a golden opportunity to catch up on my TV backlog. But sleep was nice too.
In DC-Beltway economics, that’s a triumph. When I lived there, I couldn’t go to the restroom and back without dropping a $20. And that was a while ago.
That’s totallly how it works. Thanx for the soup!
I thought I was fired for an hour and a half this morning.
I my group received a meeting invitation for a “brief uplanned” team meeting. This never leads to good news, but I wasn’t that worried. I then got a call from my wife letting me know all hell was breaking loose at her job and things might be getting really bad. This of course left me worried about her and introduced the idea of major changes going on.
I got to work and was able to login, but a number of network drives were not available. “Oh no” I thought…“I have been cut off…”
I sat there, heart racing for an hour and a half, rebooting over and over waiting for the drives to resolve. Certain applications were not working…
10:30 rolled around and it was announced that there were cuts on our team, but not my group. I actually didn’t know any of the people that were let go, but it still shook me none the less. However, I breathed deep and realized I had dodged a bullet. :o
Look at the bright side: if it had happened for real, you would have so much more time to spend here on the forum. Just make sure to set up your refrigerator box where you’ll have wi-fi access. 
The Pink One jammed the toilet with TP, causing a seal to let water out in the space between the bathroom floor and the kitchen sealing leading to a torrent of water in the kitchen.
It looks like if the toilet isn’t clogged, the water will flow without a spill, but right now it doesn’t look good for the future.
Dude, kids and playing with water! My daughter is queen of jamming too much toilet paper in the toilet “just because” and then acting like she didn’t do it. I feel your pain. Truly.
Today’s suckiness is brought to you by the letter zZz and the symbol $, oh and also the plethora of political phone calls that I’ve been getting because I live in PA:
-
I’ve been running behind since BEFORE I got out of bed. There really was no hope fore me today, even before the alarm went off. I shouldn’t have even bothered to get up.
-
I’m the only mom that showed up to Moms’ Group. So, as RMHPH said to me whilst reading the GWC forums to me over the phone as I waited alone, it was actually Mom’s “Group”. I’m the leader of the group so I have to show up and this isn’t the first time this has happened. I nicely asked the other moms to let me know via email or phone if they would not be showing up. I sat there for 45 minutes, that I will NEVER GET BACK, waiting to see if anyone would show up. Sigh.

My co-pay on my migraine preventative med is $185 for three months! (Actual cost of the drug? $750!!! Excuse me while I faint dead.) The “rescue” med for breakthrough migraines costs $53 for 9 pills. FRAK ME, people!!! I’m beginning to think it would be cost-effective to schedule a cruise that ports in Mexico and buy a supply of all my prescription drugs there! Holy frakkin’ hell!
-
And as mentioned above, please RNC and DNC and nice Mr. Independent Whatsurname, please stop calling me! I’ve already made up my mind! I am not an undecided voter–in fact I am very decided and I am getting increasingly annoyed by the intrusive phone calls. You can also stop sending me ominous pieces of mail, proclaiming that I do not know “the real Barack Obama.” I just don’t care, frankly. I’m over it–all of it. If I could vote today, I would. You can stop wasting your breath, money and paper campaigning to me. You won’t–but really, you can.
Man, Keara, I hear you on drug costs. Doing it while paying for COBRA continuation on your previous employer’s insurance adds even more costs. (My wife and I could go on a cruise to Mexico to buy illegal drugs for a week on what we pay each month for insurance right now.)
Add to that very general complaint the fact that Elena, after teasing us by going to sleep at around 8:00 p.m. last night and not waking up for hours, decided to wake up at around 2:45 a.m. and didn’t go back to sleep till after 4:00 (in her defense, she does have a stuffy nose–the first in her life–and is a little freaked out about it). I got up at 6:00 to help the oldest get ready for school (she did not want to get up) and then went back to bed since I don’t have classes to teach today. I do, however, still have work to do, little of which is getting done because I didn’t wake up until 11:15. I just finished writing a test and a lesson plan and have to go to a parent-teacher conference in a few minutes. Tonight I have to go to a concert downtown, which should be fun as it’s a group with a couple of friends in it which I’ve been wanting to hear for a while, but it’s also work as it presents a networking opportunity, and I’d rather stay home composing, which I won’t get to do today after all. (Nevermind the job applications that need to go out before the end of next week.)
I love my kids, but man alive they can be a trial!
Wow i hope your doing better today i can only imagine what having to pay that much for simple meds.
A close family member of mine has worked in just about every major Pharmaceutical Company in North America, and I love her to pieces, but their legal practices and amount of profit most make on drugs is way past criminal its insane.
but if all else fails come to Canada, Universal health care… one of the highest tax rates in the world. but no paying for drugs… hey wait a minute :mad:
okay thats a little scary Boxy 
It would be if it was true
I know its very unlikely the U.S. would take such action, but his sentiment is kind of scary. at least to a hippy like me. but like a wise man once said “Its when the Roman’s stand in true danger; that they are most to be feared.”
I really feel for you. I am on several prescription medications, but we have a really good program here. Most people pay about $25 per script, but I am on a Health Care Card with means I get each one for $5, no matter the real cost. Then if you get a lot of scripts, like I do, they become free after I think about 52 (average one per week). So mine became free in July/August. I also feel you guys get a bum steer as I think someone told me that if you go to hospital to an emergency you have to pay? Ours is free, no matter how much you earn.
Very glad that that wasn’t the case Solai but I know how stressful those situations can be. It’s a tough job market at the moment.
It’s not scary cause it would NEVER HAPPEN
We’d go nuclear waaaaaaaaaaay before going chemical/bio and if we nuclear we ain’t gonna be worried about the chem/bio cause we’re gonna be glow in the dark marks on the ground.
Life sucks today cause I haven’t gone to sleep yet and I can already feel my hangover forming…jager straight. Not good times apparently. Oh god.
Having a sucky day because a guy I really liked when we were at Uni together just told me he’s been in love with me for 8 years but was too chicken shit to tell me. Now he’s married with two kids and a fat lot of good that does me now.
Some guys are just too shy.
Even if this doesn’t really help you, virtually everybody has a similar story to tell. There’s always a person whom you liked and then years later you learn that they liked you too.
Really? That’s quite sad.
Sure it is, but it’s true. I remember Solai telling a similar story a while ago and a couple of others chipped in with their own stories. Those tales are on the forum somewhere, let me see if I can find them for you…
Incidentally, have you read about the Floppy Disk Incident yet? If not, let me find that for you as well… might cheer you up a bit
