I tripped and fell down the stairs tonight. I didn't break anything, but boy am I sore.

Ah Ms Merchant...you already told us about the fight, you cannot go back and explain your black eye and bruised self by now claiming that you fell down the stairs. Regardless of the reason, we are glad you are OK.

Get ready to Watch GOT and see others suffer more mightily....

Breaking things can help you get less sore.

I flew too high and touched the sun

I flew too high and touched the sun

On a similar theme...
While moving a dismantled turbine through my lounge room, I accidentally dented one of the blades.

Thinking fast, like I'd just taken one of Roger Ramjet's proton energy pills, I decided to fix it with some wax from a candle we keep in case of power blackouts.
While I was doing that, I started humming a song that could displace "Long Way to the Top" as Australia's preferred national anthem...
I've melted wax to fix my wings
I've done all the dumb things!

That is stupendously relevant

@#~$%&!!! Some people do not respect freelance workers.

That is stupendously relevant

It definitely is. AC/DC almost managed to make the Iron Man films watchable.

The first one was pretty good.

Making chicken tika tomorrow, and realized that I forgot to buy 1/2 cup heavy cream from grocery store when I was there today. Now I have to go back for one object and it is going to be raining tomorrow. Either I walk there in the rain or I be a wimp and drive.

Or you can improvise.

Had to give a blood-sample yesterday (State-mandated, because 8 weeks ago one of my colleagues was diagnosed with TB, and it's The Law).

The doctor(?) apparently shoved the catheter-needle in too deep, apparently puncturing both walls of the vein, allowing a lot of blood to leak into the subcutaneous zone and causing the inside of my elbow to swell up quite impressively (and tenderly).

The swelling and tenderness reduced overnight, but now I have a bruise on my upper forearm that makes me look like I've been shooting-up heroin for years (I have never, just FTR!)...

Incompetent doctors suck.

(EDITED for fairness)

I was at a bar last saturday night . I met a girl and everything was going great ! We talked a lot , shared a few drinks, exchanged phone numbers etc. than my "pal" comes in and when I came back from a bar (I was buying a beer) I see him making out with my girl I couldn't belive it at first I was so angry ! I needed to blow off some steam but I didn't interupted them. I left the beer, I left the bar, smoked a cig and when was out of a possible earshot I screamed a loudest "fak" I could manage. People passing down the streat looked at me like I was some sort of a raving lunatic. Suffice it to say , my "pal" is no longer my "pal" and the girl didn't respond to any of the messages I wrote. Oh well I guess that's life

Bros before hos.

 

[Snerk]

Irritating as hell but yeah that's life, just gotta move on. Next time you're the one snogging a girl some other dude had his eye on.

 

[rah]

And you can always look at it that he did you a favor by exposing her as probably not a good mate.

 

[Snerk]

Got my new fancy fins but the foot pocket is too big, gotta go down a size. Bleh.

 

[Lexicus]

my girl

Unhealthy and disrespectful attitude.

Yeah I would have worded myself differently but I give it a pass for a bit of venting, no?

I'm guessing it's more than an issue of word choice because it ties in with the reason for his anger. Getting possessive over women with whom you haven't exchanged any commitments is at best an emotionally-draining waste of time. The other possibilities are of course even worse.

So you just met her, and that entitled you to claim ownership?

Why not wait to find out if she and your friend actually got past the casual chatting stage before writing off this friendship?
