Post your random thoughts/feelings etc

I seriously need to find something to do with my spare time.

Lying about how much we drink is a symptom of our narcissistic society | Philippa Perry | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk

How creative! Doing what everybody else does. Forever

THERE IS NOTHING IN THE WORDS

The picture tells the story. Golden gleaming room with dainty glasses. Golden jewellery. Oooooohhoohhh. Cigarettes How dreadfully naughty it is to drink a fraction of powerful 8% wine in a tiny glass! Never been out in the middle of a field at night with thousands of people you don't know, hundreds of miles away from civilisation? Never done anything a bit more interesting? Just a DVD and a dip enough for you?

Fragile people. I want to know how these people react to a chainsaw and a baseball bat



A distinct difference in my life; posh family with smiles the diameter of a 4x4 SUV tyre. Must have all had major oral surgery to get that fit. Real life was so much better. I was never welcome with the posh. Smiling is a very flimsy way to live and prosper

And the difference - with the right people. Not standard. We gave up on bars and what people call 'clubs'? Just flock where everyone goes? Ugghhh!!!

I remember a time in town after a big match at the stadium - people from all over the country - police on horses. Blood all over the streets. Living with animals. Proud to be at events with proper people away from the norm. No violence. A very clear difference in what you put in your mouth, and makes you a very different person. The only time I found out about the word 'love'. None of that with my family

Well, since this is the random thoughts thread.... Eh, ah just bought a 2nd hand printer off eBay this past Friday. Told by the seller that it was it very good, working condition. Well, ah got the printer the day and it's f**kin' broken! Because the f**kin' eejit didnae bother tae package it properly :veryangry:

Ah mean... it's a printer - no a f**kin' DVD boxset! So that's why am f**kin' raging! Since it cost me quite a lot o' money tae buy the f**kin' thing. Bastards!! :bat: Ah know, ah know... ah swear a helluva lot!

^ Yeah - that would be pretty annoying. You would think if someone is going to sell something like that on ebay they would have the common courtesy and sense to package it up properly so that arrives in acceptable and usable condition. You should tell the seller what has happened - he should be accountable in someway.

That is so cool . . . and adorable! I absolutely love it, but I'll bet someone was seriously pissed at the time!

Graeme, I'm sorry you're having to deal with this. I've often been appalled by the number of morons who populate the 'Bay. I've gotten burned a time or two myself, and it's infuriating! :kickingmyself:

I see that you've already contacted the seller. That's good, but if he won't make it right, you should definitely take the matter up with eBay/PayPal. No way should you have to eat a crap sandwich like that!

Aye, if the seller doesnae message me back later and agree tae refund ma money as ah've asked, am gonnae report the matter tae eBay/PayPal. Though, he has a returns accepted policy. So, ah get it sorted nae bother - ah, hope, anyway...

I love when I randomly turn on some real life crime documentary on the Discovery Channel or something and the crime occurred in my neck of the woods. It always creeps me out.

Another e-mail from the cousin, "wanting to touch base." :oh:

Another reminder (which, to be honest, I did need) of papers and phone calls and Things To Be Done—in short, responsibilities (which, to be honest, I did not need).

A quick reply was requested and sent, but it started me thinking about phone calls and e-mails and other such terrifying things. Now I'm trembling all over, and I can't catch my breath, and my hands are shaking so much I can hardly type. All that, from just a few simple thoughts.

I don't recall asking for any of this. :kickingmyself:

Just found out someone I went to high school died in a car accident last night. He's from the same state as me, even though we both went to school in Pennsylvania. He dated one of my best friends in high school. I wasn't really close with him but I remember that he was intelligent, funny, kind, and a little bit shy. Wow 🙁

Also just realized he unfriended me on Facebook a few weeks ago - so that's who it was. Awkward. But it's still sad, of course...

Received a call back to participate in an SA research study. Right when I have an appointment coming up to see a psych, and general practitioner with the hopes I could finally receive a prescription for anxiety medication.

It should've occurred to me that the research group can't take a participant beginning meds..

Now it seems as if I have too many options to select from.

Yikes! That would be a little freaky. I try not to keep up to date with anything like that in my area.

I'm sorry. :🙁: Even though you two didn't chat or anything, it's still sad that a part of your past has now gone.

My best friend wants me to design a tattoo for him to get on his birthday in 2 days.
He says it would mean alot to him...

I don't even like to show most of my work on paper....And I usually throw them away.
The thought of it being permanently etched into somebody's skin his horrifying.
I don't know what to do.lol

For f**k sake... :kickingmyself: Why is nothing every easy, especially when it comes to eBay.

I wouldn't ever trust ebay. Amazon is a way better alternative.

Aye, ah use Amazon more than eBay. Only use eBay if am lookin' for rare, hard to find things, mostly.

i was just drawn to the phrase "at the mercy of her mind".
