Random Rants 0x52: [Obligatory rant about title]

[aimeeandbeatles]

Rant: I hate my brain sometimes.

(For anyone who saw my weird behaviour last night, sorry.)

 

[Takhisis]

I reported you because I thought your account had been hacked.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

I went to bed early because I was starting to get a migraine and have no idea what happened. My browser history says I was clicking around on completely random threads but I don't remember getting back up.

 

[Takhisis]

Yes, you stopped posting for 2-3 hours, as I recall it, then over some two hours posted ‘I like videogames’ in about half a dozen threads, then a Christmas tree, then I reported you and went to bed myself because it was late.

Are you all right now?

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

I still have a bit of a headache but it's regular-headache pain and not migraine-headache pain.

 

[Takhisis]

OK, let's be thankful for that.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

I did finish reading a terrible fanfiction just before going to bed. Maybe it broke my brain.

 

[Takhisis]

Um… I do remember that about two months ago IIRC I watched a film that was so bad that even if it was nearly 2 a.m. I needed to launch into an hour-long online battle (DotA2, naturally) in order to cleanse my brains of it. I posted something about it in the movies thread.

So you might be on to something.

I hope you're feeling better @aimeeandbeatles

Mr KB bought me some really horrible, sour wine. I choked down two glasses, just to make him happy. For some reason me drinking this wine was really important to him, you'd think he made it himself or something.

He asks me "do you like it?" and I'm thinking to myself ... "honey, it's me, not drinking wine ... can't you figure it out?"

Life's too short to drink bad wine

That's quite concerning... I'd tell your doctor. Hope everything is okay.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Plot twist: He did make it himself!

 

[cardgame]

I don't mind, I really don't mind at all.


Oh yes, that drives me absolutely crazy. I'm like "how can you possibly be even remotely comfortable??"

Getting rid of my shoes is always priority #1 when I walk in the door.

Some people have comfortable shoes

Naturally, when one problem is solved, people feel the inherent pull towards bringing things back to balance. I may not believe in a god, but I certainly believe in a cosmic trickster who tampers with reality solely to inconvenience me. My roommate now wears muddy shoes in the bathroom and doesn't clean the floor or the bathmat.

His response: "We wear shoes in the house back in India, it's just what we do."

Yeah, dude. Indoor shoes. Slippers that never breathe outside air. Not the shoes you've been wearing while traipsing through mud and puddles for the entire day.

Of course, he doesn't see what the big deal is.

Yikes. I wear slippers in my apartment and a different pair of shoes when I go anywhere else in the building. A family tracked in a lot of slushy, muddy snow in (to be fair, there's a shortage of mud mats in the lobby, and I'm going to mention to the manager that he really needs to put down another one).

As for your roommate, next time he does this, hand him a mop and tell him to clean the floor.

Wearing shoes inside is vile and despicable.

I'm waiting for a UPS delivery. They're very inconsistent here, it could be any time, and I hate this. And this time they didn't send me one of those things so I can watch the little truck on my computer, so I feel blind.

I WANT MY PACKAGE!

I ordered the puzzle catalogue from Mary Maxim (it's free). Instead of just adding my name and address to a mailing list, they treated it as though I'd placed a regular order. Apparently they're going to send me a tracking number when they get around to sending it.

Some say there's a prophecy the vice princess will never rest until everyone on CFC is either in her basement or made an offering to her shirtless selfie trove.

Sounds like there's some kind of subspace connection between Mary's basement and Aimee's closet.

At least everyone should be well-fed.

It's like the wardrobe to Narnia, except that instead of lions it's led by very stern ladies carrying giant bullwhips.

That's quite concerning... I'd tell your doctor. Hope everything is okay.

I don't know if there's much the doctor can do. I'm back on the waiting list for the neurologist (he moved offices without informing me...right after I lost my family doctor, and I couldn't figure out how to self-refer) and I have no idea how long that be. I was lucky to get in the first time after only six months because my family doctor pushed for it because of how badly I was deteriorating.

I love the state of Nova Scotia's health care system. But hey, let's give a couple million for a ferry for rich U.S. tourists to use!

 

[AdamCrock]

Oh Aimee ! I hope You're holding up in there ! *lots of hugs* I only noticed Your avatar changed into Your cat. Maybe it was Your cat posting ? I didn't saw any of it as I went to sleep mode .

Always be honest about what you tell him you like and dislike. It will benefit you over a long marriage.
Unless you tell him you didn't like the wine, you will be drinking it again and again.
My wife and I never get mad at each other if we mention we didn't like something the other cooked. In the long run, it's better.
The key is not to sound demeaning or judgmental when you do it. Just state it as a fact.

 

[MaryKB]

I find it much easier to just pretend I like it and spare his feelings

I'm really tired this morning for some reason, and I can't seem to get my mind going.

 

[rah]

Honesty spares feelings in the long run.
Imagine how bad he'd feel if he found out you actually hated something he served you over 20 years, just to make him feel better.

 

[Lexicus]

I find it much easier to just pretend I like it and spare his feelings

This teaches him to keep giving you the bad wine! And like rah says, it will be worse if you tell him after having pretended to like it...you gotta rip the bandaid off quickly, although believe me, I understand the temptation not to...

Dinner goes a lot better now that I've learned that occasionally the feedback needs to be, "<I like this part of it>. It's a bit salty." Or the like. And she likes doing it a lot better when the kid enjoys it too,and if I think it's spiced heavy, he's probably struggling with it being way less able to articulate.
