You make an effort to reply to almost everyone. Its so sweet/adore le mikey of spw.
hope you dont feel bad for not being able to respond to everyone. Its a group effort in the end
Cats.
Cats need sleep.
And mine is slumbering peacefully. But she doesn't have a busy day tomorrow.
@MikeyC I honestly don't know how you reply to almost everyone on here. I just comb through the threads and reply to either people I'm pretty familiar with or posts that I have to comment on. But to be very, very truthful, I think getting into everyone's issues and problems and feelings would bum the *#*% out of me. I can't do what you do, man! :bowing:

I'm on the way to get depressed, the girl I've dated won't answer me I asked her out, but she still didn't answer me and it's been 3 days now, I even saw her online for a short time yesterday. Maybe she doesn't want to talk to me. If I call her I would be pushy, but I want to be seen as persistent, so you think it's a good idea to text her just to ask how is she, or something?

Absolute cr*p day. Very tentative mood, all day long. Struggle to feel okay. I just love days like this. Nothing works at all. Nevermind, have fallen back on my main crutch yet again (grog), and am feeling bit better now. But its disappointing that on really bad days nothing else but the grog works.
I'd go ahead and text her. It's been a fair amount of time. Just be casual with it (Hi, how are you? How's life?) and go from there.*

I actually meant that not even things I write about get replies, but it can work that way, too. Thank you for the lovely compliment. :shyness:

Worried about going for today's walk... I haven't left the house for three days due to injuring myself whilst exercising and not wanting to hobble around in front of people... It's better now, but my agoraphobia is always worse if I don't go out for a day or two... :/

So incredibly pissed off right now as my tire exploded a few miles away from my house on the interstate this morning and I managed to put my worn spare on and get home. I called my unit and told them my issue and proposed two courses of action. 1) Someone pick me up and 2) I make drill up another day. I'd like to think both options were more than reasonable, but both were outright rejected and they told me I have to be there tomorrow. That is a 120 mile round trip in the mountains on a very worn spare tire. If it goes out there, I'm stuck there as I only have $40 to my name. Here is a picture of my tire after I got it home and the rim from the blown tire out of the boot.
Is it me? Am I the crazy and unreasonable one or is it the cold, heartless and bureaucratic machine that is the United States Army?

Ouch that sucks. I went through that kinda stuff alot with my car but Was never in the armed forces. I once had a summer job that was about 40 miles away from where I lived and the ballbearings went out in the front end of my front wheel drive car. I had to drive all the way home like that. Scary as heck specilly whatching all the smoke pour from the wheel going down a highway and it wobblying around. Not as bad as you having to drive mounting roads with a worn spare though. Be carful and just take it real slow.

I decided for my safety and the car, to turn around and go home and the Army was less than understanding about it and I could get in trouble for it. They didn't want to send anyone to get me, so what am I to do, right? I also don't know how I'm going to replace it, I'm about to be back to the same old of owing the bank money and paying $30 overdraft fees. I love this car, but the tires, insurance and so on cost WAY too much for my backwards income. Perhaps I can trade it for a VW Vanagon Westfalia, which would be much more practical and easier to maintain. I am considering it, but I do have some memories in this car and it is my first car after all; it's been paid off long ago and I still can't afford it, which sucks.

I know the feeling. I am fighting with beign overdrawn right now becasue of repairs to my first car I bought off a real and true car lot and the warrently went out two weeks before it had problems. I still owe the bank for two more years before its totaly paid off. I could repair most of my older cars and trucks my self like the car i told you about the ballbearings. I actualy spent a weekend doing all the work with my stepfather back in the day but these foreign jobs are way out of my league.

Not just foreign anymore, this car of mine is a Ford, and a mustang above that, the most iconic American car; however it is made like foreign cars where only stealerships can work on it. Basic things like transmission dipstick aren't in this car and draining the casing requires a special thing that only a Ford stealership can do. If I have to get rid of this car due to expenses I can't afford, I'll likely go with a late 80's/ early 90's Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia, at least it is cheaper and easy to work on, I'll just miss the power, MPG and pure coolness of the Mustang—should I decide to trade the Mustang. I also have no mechanical knowledge of cars, but I can figure it out, I managed to put my own cold air intake in this car and retune the computer in it without really knowing what I was doing, so there is hope for me yet in that respect.

Nice. I drove a ford tauras most of my highschool life it was the one I repaird the front end on. I road that car so hard and had to do alot of repairs that I was suprized it lasted as long as it did. Its good for people to beable to get some exsperince on working on there own car special someone who figured out on there own about reseting the computer and puting a cold air intake into something they know nothing about. When I got my huyandia I had a choice a lexus with over 100k miles or this car with 20k. Either one I would not be able to repair it my self or figure it out most likly.

Hie yer hence from me heath!
Overwhelmed! Time to myself seems like a rare thing at the moment. Emotionally am runnin' on autopilot and stressed the f**k oot. Secretly full of self-loathing for the person I've become. But then that me; got tae keep those around me happy, never put maself first because that too selfish! :no:
Just wish I had the money to get away from it all, bugger off on a holiday for an undetermined number of months. Nae family, nae friends, just on ma own. Naebody constantly forcing me into social situations in which I am clearly not comfortable.

A friend had a misunderstanding with a female friend of his (an acquaintance of mine) and she's over-exaggerating (to the point of lying) what happened and making him out to be bad guy, and telling everyone all about it (even his friends who she doesn't know) etc looking for sympathy, putting statuses about it etc.
Meanwhile he's really hurting because of her false accusations but is being a lot more dignified by not gossiping about it.
And she's the one getting all the sympathy from neutrals who are now looking at him with disgrace when he did absolutely nothing like she is suggesting he did. I saw what happened so this isn't just me being biased in favour of a friend. It's just me being annoyed that just because somebody is whinging and moaning they're getting their own way.
I'm sorry, I empathise a great deal with those who are insecure because I am too, but I resent those who resort to attention seeking, especially at the expense of somebody else who has just as little confidence in themselves.

I just want to die. Why can't I just wear gloves 24/7? Maybe I can. I have the most hideously ugly tiny little stubby hands ever. Who would want to be with someone with hands like mine?
Seriously, try and tell me these things aren't hideous. You can't.
View attachment 2921
They may not be maimed or covered in weird warts or whatever, but they're still hideous
Don't worry, people stare at my hands because they find it odd for a man to paint his nail(s) (And I prefer black polish, dark purple was acceptable, but black is the best!). Nothing wrong with your hands, I knew of plenty girls back in high school that had hands as you described and I liked them because they had a brain in their head—Sadly they never liked me back, but thats another issue. lol

Yeah, that's pretty lame, to be honest. I don't know how you can personally resolve that situation, but you know the truth and I'm positive your friend will like that you're on his side. That sucks. :thumbdown:
