Protests of David Petraeus's lectures to continue, say CUNY students | World news | theguardian.com

^Video of Petraeus being heckled and verbally abused by CUNY students. I am no fan of Petraeus and against going to war in the Middle East, BUT I still think the students are being totally unprofessional. I am disgusted by their actions. In fact, it looks like stalking and harassment. I thought a university is supposed to be a place where people from all walks of life come together to peacefully discuss over issues. Multiple points of view are heard and no one should be silenced.

I was bullied in college so I know how it feels to have people heckle, cuss, and say mean things about you.

This weekend I'll do quite a lot. First, a friend visits me, and we try to attach a tapestry to a wall in my living room, and add curtains too.

Later I'll meet with a friend (the one I have a crush on). She asked me to come over, so that we can bake swamp willow pancakes for a friend of mine.

That friend we will bake the pancakes for will have a birthday party I promised to attend tomorrow evening.

On sunday there'll be a role playing day that I'll attend.

no, im not covering any shifts on my one day off in forlikeever. you understaff- this is your problem, not mine.
 
have you tried feeding her fresh fish? i recommend getting a salmon fillet and cutting it into tiny pieces and offering that to her

After the vet gave us some strong pain killers she started eating again. But it's too late I'm afraid, she is too far gone.

When she was at the vet a month ago they took blood for ana.lysis and she was fine, she just had a stomach thing. Today they took blood again and now there was a ton of things wrong with her. Her teeth are rotten, and she has lost nearly all her weight. The best they could do was ease her pain. Non of us really saw it coming, and by the time we even knew something was wrong it was already too late.

The pain killers are strong enough to get her through the weekend without much pain so everyone can say goodbye, but on Monday she being put down.

Anti immigrants huh while they stereotype and focus on everyone the really bad people are able to blend in and go unnoticed,instead of focusing on the bad elements and kick them out....

That really sucks, but sometimes the best you can do for them is to let them go, you tried which is more than many people would have done. At least she wont be suffering anymore.

Thanks. :) It will be stressful too, but also interesting.

I love chocolate. :) Normally I buy only very dark chocolate, because I don't munch it all up but instead nibble on it for a long time. But yesterday I thought "what the heck" and bought the best tasting very expensive chocolate I know. :D

I'm sorry to hear this. In the flat I shared with friends for 10 years, we also had a cat. It was an old cat. After I've been living there for about 6 years, it started to bleed and become incontinent: bladder cancer. The vet told us she was in no pain. We didn't know what to do. On the one hand, can we really let her live that way? Bleeding and peeing everywhere and being weak all the time? But then again she felt no pain, so would we have any right to put her asleep? Shortly after Christmas, which she spent sleeping under the radiator in my room, we decided to put her asleep, since it was getting worse and worse and it was hard to find out when she actually was in pain. She had a long about 20 year long interesting life.



In other news, since I got a smartphone for about a year, I also joined some group there which friends created which is about doing stuff in this city. Yesterday some suggested going to a club called Shadow in a nearby town. I've been there two or three times, and it's nice, but I didn't feel like it. Some people suggested to first meet at a pub. Since also my closest friend went there, plus a friend I like a lot but see rarely, I decided to go there and say 'hello'. It's only about 10 minutes by bike to that place anyway.
At first I was a bit worried. Mostly because I haven't showered yet and just came from a long work day, but I'd had no time to shower either. So I spent the last few minutes before leaving with gaming, which then took a bit longer so I'd be somewhat late, but I thought "well, most of them will be late too". And then I hopped on my bike and went there. I've been to that pub about three times before. So I entered, and it was super crowded and noisy. I looked around, and didn't see my friends. I looked to the left part of the pub: none there. I squeezed through the masses to the right side of the pub: none there. Guys laughing, girls with their mobile phones, people drinking, no friends. I got sad. I thought "they already left for the club?", and I wondered about what the people there might think about the guy who entered and walks around in circles. So I went to the left side again and searched more thoroughly, and there they were sitting, squeezed in an edge of the pub. And when they saw me they smiled and cheered and my best friend hugged me and said "I just messaged you and asked whether you'd come over!" and another friend said in a friendly jokingly way "you? In this pub? How did that happen?".
I stayed for about an hour, not that long compared to other people, but good enough for me. It was a nice hour. We chatted about this and that, and that friend who I rarely meet, who is great with crafting and knitting and stuff, upon seeing my old falling apart mobile phone bag, promised me to craft a new bag for me for my birthday, with the logo I had on my t-shirt on it if I'd like to. I was a bit embarassed since she and another friend of mine, who love crafting, were talking all the time about how to make it the best for me, and I tried to switch the subject, which finally worked.

I'm sorry to hear that and my thoughts are with you at this time, I had to put my dog down a while back and I know what a painful time it is. *Hug*
 
I challenge anyone to show me a cat cooler than mine :cool:

I know I'm biased... Okay, VERY biased... but... I never tire of her. She's just so silly, she has the cutest and sweetest little meow, she follows you around the house like a puppy and plops down near you. She hates being alone. She does this silly thing where she rolls down the carpeted staircase and keeps looking up, almost as if she's making sure you're watching. She has really long back legs that my mom calls "rabbit feet" and she uses them like a rabbit when she plays. I love that ball of fur :3

Need to get a Job. But with my job history or rather no history at all I am totally lost.
Finished my education in 2007, that year in the month of july got a sales job in an insurance co. quit the job after 3 months due to anxiety and issues with staring at people inappropriately.

Then became depressed, for the first time met a therapist after a couple of months of therapy and medication. August, 2008 nearly a year since my first job, got another job. again in an insurance co. not a direct sales but managing advisors, team handling. quit that job too after two months. again lack of self confidence, staring at people inappropriately, basically feeling like I was lying to myself and living a lie. I had zero members on my team.

August, 2009 got my third job at a call centre. thought this is 'The Job' for me. i couldn't even sit through the training. My over active peripheral vision, hypervigilance, staring at inappropriate places I was in a constant panic state.

all the while living with my parents. Time passing by

Good coffee + plain cocoa powder + sugar + dollop Hershey's chocolate syrup = :) Why pay for Starbucks' caffe mocha when you can make this? Granted it's not EXACTLY the same, but you control the sweetness and milk content, and save money! It's really yummy.
