Maybe Cthulhu could bring about the end of QoH. ;D
Speaking of, the effing bitch caused me to miss almost the entire first hour of Deadpool because she just will. not. leave. me. the fuck. alone. There was free HBO and Cinemax for the weekend, although I did not discover it until last night, and had several movies that I wanted to see. I had planned on doing a little yard work outside and then coming in to watch Deadpool, but anything I plan is doomed to be ruined by QoH. As soon as I came in she started with her damn monologue and wouldn't shut the fuck up for almost an hour. I'm so pissed off right now! ��
That's a shame. I hate to make you envious but I had half of today completely to myself as my parents had gone to the birthparty of an aunt of mine. The silence in the house was easpecially soothing knowing that I was entirely alone here. Even when I'm alone in my room in the attic I don't feel that relaxed. So great.
BTW did QoH not notice Deadpool's masturbation scene with the unicorn and the sex scene where his girlfriend is pegging him with a strap-on? ;P
Yeah, that *is* very enviable. I miss the days when QoH and her ex-bf would go out shopping and leave me at home by myself. So peaceful. :)
Even when I'm alone in my room in the attic I don't feel that relaxed.
I know what you mean. Even when QoH goes outside to water the plants for an hour or so, I still can't fully relax because I'm anticipating her inevitable return and the nastiness she brings.
did QoH not notice...
No, because I switched the channel to something else. I figured I'd just miss the first 10 or 15 minutes because she was droning on for that long and then left. I switched back and saw the sex scene which you speak of, then she came back to monologue some more. Whenever I want to watch a movie like that I have to do it in secret. She hates almost all movies and would consider a superhero genre movie to be stupid. If she caught me watching it, she'd berate me with, "How can you stand to watch this stupid shit?" etc. She'd *really* lay into me if she saw a sex scene. Then she'd accuse me of watching "disgusting, perverted, pornographic, sick, etc" shit. It's easier to flip to something boring like a cable news channel and avoid the verbal beating.
I guess I missed the unicorn scene unless you're talking about the cartoon when the credits were rolling. I did see that. ;P
I hope it comes on one of the movie channels I *do* get. What I did get to see was enjoyable.
I also watched a movie called Wanted with James McAvoy, Angelina Jolie, and Morgan Freeman, Huntsman: Winter's War, and The Revenant which was entirely too long and overrated IMO. The other 2 were entertaining at least. :)
Is that the movie with the shooting bullets round the corner trick?
My parents were gone for a few hours again today. They went to an event where an uncle of mine was given a "lintje", a kind of medal, for things he did for people. People are given these "lintjes" right before Kingsday, which is tomorrow.
Also, 2 of my nephews visited. We talked about videogames and one of them invited me to come over and play Dark Souls 3 with him friday. I guess I had better start practising. :)
Man, how are you getting so lucky with having your parents out of the house? QoH is driving me so insane with her endless bitching, complaining, cursing, and venom spewing that I'm nearly at my wits end. I just nearly got into an actual fight with her not 5 minutes ago because she's been relentlessly verbally abusive to me all day, calling me names like dumbass, dumb shit, stupid bitch, etc and she just called me stupid again while I had my hands in the dishwater so I flicked it in her face. ;D She didn't like that and tried to grab ahold of me. I started to run to my room and she called me a chicken shit for running away and being afraid. I told her I just don't want to go to jail if I beat her ass. She really does need the shit kicked out of her, but I'll only do that in self defense.
She's a master at playing the victim and manipulating people into believing her lies, so if I got into a fight with her I have no doubt I'd be the one sitting in jail for defending myself. She'd pull the sickly old lady card and tell them I physically and emotionally abuse *her* every day when it's actually her who does all the abusing. >:(
So what do you lot do on Kingsday? Is there a parade or fireworks or something?
calling me names like dumbass, dumb shit, stupid bitch,
How odd. You're actually none of those things. Hm. Curious. ;P
so if I got into a fight with her I have no doubt I'd be the one sitting in jail for defending myself.
I guess you should just give her a virtual beating. It's why we have an imagination. ;P
How is your imagination BTW? Have you had some interesting/strange dreams lately?
So what do you lot do on Kingsday?
I doubt that it's my lot that does things on Kingsday. I stayed inside all day.
At Kingsday people can sell stuff in the local park. You can buy orange tompouces (and apparently there is a multitude of ways to eat those) from the local baker, drink orange liqueur.
I think the first time I ever had it was at a Jewish wedding in Boca. I've only ever had it at Jewish parties. I looked it up to see if I had the spelling correct and I learned that it's made with kumquats. :)
Well, not much happening here today. Probably going grocery shopping later and then be home to watch some muay thai tonight. :)
Forgot to mention, at 30% alcohol it *is* pretty high octane. ;P
Well, we didn't go grocery shopping today. Only went to the nearest Winn Dixie to pick up a sale ad and buy bagels, but they didn't have any bagels. Such a shitty store. I figured QoH would go Saturday then, but apparently she saw something on the news to get her scared. Something about these idiots protesting so she gets all scared. I told her I doubted they'd be at Penn Dutch, but apparently I'm an idiot and they're lying in wait to attack me there. :rolls eyes: So I have no idea when we'll be going.
In other news, legend has it that my Irish ancestors are decended from the legendary Queen Maeve. So I'm obviously genetically predisposed to be a warrior queen. ;D ;P Or something. Or not. ;P I guess it also why I like mountains but want to be near the ocean, too. Just like County Kerry. It's all genetic I tell ya! ;P
Nah, just the local leftists getting an early start for May Day. I told her they'd likely be doing that downtown, a good 20 miles from where we'd be, but paranoia trumps reason with her.
Where is all this coming from?
I'm just being silly. I had looked up Queen Mab and Queen Maeve to see if there is a difference other than spelling. One is Queen of the Fairies and the other was an ancient Irish Queen. The decedents of one of her sons are supposed to be the people of County Kerry where one of my ancestors is from. Makes a good origin story if I was a character in a comic. ;P
Does the first of May have any significance to you personally?
Nope. And it was never something celebrated in the US, only the most far left commie types cared about it. Only in the past 10 years or so have the leftists gotten a stronghold in the universities and indoctrinated the young people into thinking communism is something wonderful.
BTW, there's allegedly a couple marches today in downtown Miami and Ft Lauderdale. Not huge, maybe 100 people at most, and organized by some labor union, probably SEIU, which are a bunch of hypocrites. They claim to be for the workers, just not if you're an American citizen, since they mostly hire illegals and H1B visa holders so they can keep the wages low and not have to pay social security and Medicare taxes if they were citizens.
Have you actually trained with a sword?
Yep, when I took kung-fu. :)
Well, the name called this morning to ask if I could mow their lawn. I just finished a while ago. Took a little longer than I would have liked because I had to edge and I broke the spool holder on my weed whacker. Luckily, I had an extra one to replace it. Then the extension cord kept getting pulled out of the outlet. And it was really hot so I had to come back to my house to take a break and drink water. At least I got paid immediately after. :)
Because it costs them less money to hire an H1B visa holder. Companies don't have to pay social security or Medicare taxes on them, and usually they pay them less money than they would to an American. It's all about the bottom line.
Any particular sword technique?
I first learned on broadsword. That's mostly slashing techniques since a broadsword is like a machete. Straight swords use thrusting techniques. Both have some things in common like strike zones and parrying and whatnot.
Are there different schools of thought...
Most likely. I didn't take classes long enough to learn about them, though.
Hey, have you ever seen the TV show Forged In Fire? It's a competition between blacksmiths/bladesmiths where they have to make a certain style blade in an allotted time. The top 2 then go back to their home forge where they have 5 days to make a certain kind of blade. It's pretty cool IMO. And it's on tonight and I'll be watching it. ;D
Nah, I'm partial to my hand-and-a-half sword. It's a straight double edged sword. I like kukris, too, but those are more of a big knife.
It seemed a bit silly...
I must've missed that one. Usually they have to make a knife out of some sort of scrap metal. Last night they had to use some barbed wire and melt it into their block of metal, then forget a blade.
Well, it's The Day Of The Remembrance Of The Dead here, the 4th of May. We're supposed to remember the people who died during WW2. There's even a nationwide minute of silence, I think around 20:00 h.
Tomorrow, the 5th of May, is Liberation Day. The offical date of the end of WW2. It's a day off for most people. A nice long weekend, this year.
If I'm correct then it's your birthday in 2 days? Will there be some kind of celebration?
May the forth is the day where the stupid Stars Wars memes are flying around fast and furious on fb over here. Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo which was an obscure holiday in Mexico, but Corona beer started using it in their advertising years ago to the US market and now some people here get all excited for it. They don't even know what they're celebrating. Go drink some shitty weak ass Corona! I don't celebrate obscure Mexican holidays.
Liberation Day is a legit holiday which should be mentioned here since we had a part in that. ;)
My b-day is on Sunday. That's another legit holiday. ;P I won't be doing anything, though. If we go to Penn Dutch tomorrow, I'm owed a coupon to get a hot dog and soda for my b-day from their snack bar. I guess I'll also be counting how many fb friends wish me happy b-day. Probably less than last time since it falls on a Sunday and people aren't at work playing on fb. ;P
And Ma Nature showed up yesterday to torment me before my b-day. Luckily she should be gone before Sunday.
Also I was unceremoniously awakened by cramps a few minutes before 10am. It was slightly fortunate since Lana Parrilla was doing an interview on the Kelly and Ryan show at that time and I wanted to see it. Had to wait 40 minutes for her to come on for a 5 minute interview. :/ Those morning shows are so stupid. Next time I'll just look for the interview on YouTube instead of wasting my time.
BTW, today when I checked in at the PD forum I learned that one of the members that I joke around with has her b-day the day before mine, so I gave her a funny post. I hope to hear back. I'm assuming she lives somewhere in Europe, so time difference and all.
I used to be signed up at Gino's Italian deli and they would email you a coupon for a mini b-day cake for your b-day, but I guess I didn't renew or they stopped doing that since I didn't get that email this time.
I have to go out shopping with QoH in a bit and then Penn Dutch tomorrow. I think there's a horse race tomorrow, too. I hope we're back to see it.
Oh, and the OUAT musical episode is on Sunday, so I guess I'll watch that for my b-day. :)
Well, I think this episode is the second to last one of the season. The last ep is 2 hours long IIRC. I don't think I'll be watching next season if there is one. It's just not very interesting to me any more.
ATM I'm watching The Lovely Bones. A very young Rose McIver is in it (she played Tinkerbell in OUAT). She looked normal sized as a young teen, then she got super skinny as an adult.
Well, I bought myself a 2 liter bottle of Cherry RC Cola as a treat yesterday. I didn't realize how much sugar and calories it had. I just had a glass full and I feel kinda sick. I bought a bag of sour gummy worms, too. :)
No, I didn't have anything in my inbox. :/ Did you send it to my xul gmail?
Did you get a lot of FB b-day wishes?
Nope, only 3 so far. Just as I expected. Peeps aren't at work and goofing around on FB. ;P
What about the hotdog?
I printed out the coupon at the kiosk and then went to the snack bar after I paid for my groceries. It was a pretty big hotdog! :O It came with a can of soda instead of a fountain soda. I got cherry Pepsi. I had wanted the cherry/vanilla Pepsi but I accidentally just said cherry and the guy grabbed it out of the cooler really quickly and then disappeared around the back. I didn't want to make a fuss as I've had the cherry/vanilla flavor before and the vanilla flavor is so subtle that you hardly notice it. Of course QoH questioned me about the hotdog. I told her they were passing out samples of food. (She didn't notice the can of soda.) Not a total lie, they *did* have some samples like the Hollandia beer which I got a glass of. ;D
I also bought some ground chicken to make home-made nuggets. I made some this morning out of a little of the chicken. I froze the rest of the raw chicken for later. I was surprised at how juicy the chicken was. Much better than store bought. :)
Did your horse win BTW? ;P
Nope. :/
that's a pretty long musical.
The musical is only an hour long episode. The season finale is 2.
What's are they like?
Like the gummy bears, except worm-shaped and they have a sour sugar coating on the outside.
Oh well, nothing exciting happening ATM. I guess I'll surf the web.
Thank you for the card, Arekino-san knuffelbeer! ;P
from the Bavaria brewery
Yep, and it used to be the beer that I usually bought back when I was working and had money for beer. It's all really gone up in price the past few years. :/
And how was it?
Not too bad. QoH came and interrupted a couple times, so I'll have to go back and watch what I missed. That's why I record it. ;)
It was fun seeing who sang their own lines and who had to have a professional singer dub their singing. From what I could tell, Hook, Charming, and Regina (and possibly Granny) sang their own songs, while Emma, Snow, and Zelena lip-synced.
If only you could do that with real life. :D :| :/ :(
Oh well. ;P
to have a professional singer dub their singing.
That's just so sad. Don't they teach actors how to sing anymore?
have you ever heard of that butt hole shaped guest house near Antwerp?
I can honestly say that I have never heard nor have ever seen a house shaped like a GIANT ANUS. I had to look it up and it looks like an anus with a short end of bowels attached to it, in my view. Why do yo ask? :)
Apparently not. Colin O'Donoghue was the best of the lot. I guess Irish/UK actors get more well rounded training. Although Charming and Regina sang themselves, too. Lana Parrilla was quite proud of herself in the interview I saw. She doesn't have the best singing voice IMO, but at least she sang herself.
Why do you ask?
There was a link to it at Her Stoatliness' blog and since it's in your neck of the woods more or less, I was wondering if you ever heard of it. You'd think something like a giant ass hole would be a topic for conversation. LOL ;P
I can honestly say that I have never heard nor have I ever seen a house shaped like a GIANT ANUS.
Oh yeah, they're just terrible. Their fries are too thick (BTW USA style french fries are too thin). And yes, actual Flemish is incomprehensible. Their chocolates are okay, I guess. ;P
The awful shit isn't too far away, though.
I spoke too soon. We had another nice day today (I even took a little walk) but now there's this thunderstorm. *sigh*
My oldest nephew came round this afternoon. He said he'd seen a British movie called "A Monster Calls". I'd never heard of it but he said he liked it. I think I'll check it out.
I've only met one person from Belgium and she was a massive bitch. I think she was Walloon, though, not Flemish.
Their fries are too thick (BTW USA style french fries are too thin).
I don't like thick fries. And I think you are probably thinking of McDonald's style fries when you say "USA style". Those are quite thin. It depends on where you go for fries over here. There's all sorts of thicknesses. ;)
And yes, actual Flemish is incomprehensible.
I bet. ;P
Soooo, in your opinion, who has the best chocolates? ;)
It is blazing hot here today. I'm glad I waited until after 6:30pm to mow yesterday. It wasn't too bad after the sun was almost set and the humidity was around 50%. I ran out of daylight, though, and didn't get to do the back yard. By the time I took out the leaf blower to tidy up the front, the world's dimmest street lights had come on. Luckily there was a full moon last night which illuminated things enough for me to see what I was doing. :)
I've never heard of A Monster Calls, either. I'll have to check it out, too. ;P
I've only met one person from Belgium and she was a massive bitch.
Well, that's unfortunate. Most Belgians I've met were fairly friendly.
There's all sorts of thicknesses.
I didn't know that. Hey, have you ever made French fries yourself? Which thickness?
I bet. ;P
To be fair, the accent of my hometown is also imcomprehensible. Good thing very few people still speak it.
who has the best chocolates?
The Swiss maybe?
Do you like to see full Brazilian, half Brazilian, trimmed, or au natural?
Oh, gosh. It depends, I guess. In general I rather like the full Brazilian, gives you a good view of the matter at hand. Then again, some asian women do have a rather nicely shaped, very black bush. The other varieties are fine too as long as it's not an amazon forest. :)
BTW the last and only time I had all the hair around my genitals removed was before my appendix operation about 30 years ago. That was a bit awkward and scary having this (rather good looking female nurse) have at it down there with a very sharp safety razor. But I was in too much pain to care. :)
Hey, have you ever made French fries yourself? Which thickness?
Of course. Not thin like McDonald's. I like them a bit thicker. And crispy. I don't like limp, soggy fries. Deep fried crinkle cut ones (Ore Ida brand) aren't too bad, either.
I've never done the Brazilian myself. I like most of it trimmed short and anything that strays from the basic shape gets waxed. I can't imagine how terribly itchy it would be when it starts growing out if it was all shaved or waxed. D:
BTW the last and only time I had all the hair around my genitals removed was before my appendix operation about 30 years ago.
All? Including your nads? I heard that's getting popular with straight men these days due to the porn industry. Everyone wants to look like a porn star. I read an article by some dude who tried it. He said he was too scared to shave his balls with a razor so he used an electric clipper and got a sorta kiwi look. LOL
I don't mind body hair on a man's front side as long as it's not too long. Back hair is gross, though. Hairy asses, too. D:
I usually just stand over the garbage bin in my bathroom when I trim it. That way there is no mess to clean up and it's easy to hide the evidence. ;)
Has QoH ever commented on your grooming habits?
Nope. I try not to let her see me naked, although she has a bad habit of just barging into my bedroom when I'm in the process of getting dressed. :/ She obviously hasn't noticed. She's not the type to *not* say anything otherwise.
what type of vulva do you have BTW?
I guess it's just a standard issue. I've never thought about it much.
Are you happy with the way it is?
It would be nice if there was less hair, but the parts are all proportionate, so I can't complain. ;)
What about you? Are you happy with your equipment? ;P
I suppose what you're asking is about my labia? Well my labia minora are *not* longer than the labia majora. Everything is well hidden like one of those Russian nesting dolls. ;P And I don't have a long clit. It's all safely tucked under its clitoral hood. ;) It looks quite nice for lady bits. ;D
Apparently mine is called The Barbie, like the doll, and is the least common style even though it's the classic shape. I think it looks the best, though. ;D
Well, according to wikipedia "The vulva includes the mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, bulb of vestibule, vulval vestibule, urinary meatus, greater and lesser vestibular glands, and the vaginal opening.".
But your description is quite sufficient for me. :)
It's all safely tucked under its clitoral hood.
Did you have any difficulty finding it when you were younger?
It looks quite nice for lady bits.
I bet it does. It does all sound pretty good. ;)
Apparently mine is called The Barbie, like the doll,
Kind of ironic, since Barbie never had a vulva.
I think it looks the best, though
It's nice and neat. I'm glad you're happy with it.
Are you happy with your equipment?
Fairly happy. I wish it was a bit straighter. But I guess it's fully functional as it is. I can't really complain about that.
Did you have any difficulty finding it when you were younger?
To be honest, it was a non issue. I never really gave it much thought or exploration. I remember one time, I don't recall how old I was, I was looking at it using a mirror and of course QoH had to come barging into my room while I was doing that. She laughed at me and then mockingly made a sarcastic comment about if everything was there. I was completely humiliated.
Do you have any preferences WRT penis shape/size/type?
Well, I haven't had any hands on experience with it as you put it. ;P Over here circumcised ones were considered the norm, so those are the ones I'm used to seeing, but I guess I don't mind uncut ones. I suppose I wouldn't like ones that were too big. I'm quite petite myself.
I was thinking of shaving a bit off my pubes to make it look like a Batman symbol. It would look cool. ;P I'd totally do it if there was no chance that QoH would see it.
Anyway, I was supposed to make meatloaf last night, but by the time QoH got around to going to the grocery store and we got back, it was a little late to start prepping all the stuff. It probably wouldn't have been finished cooking until after midnight.
Now I'm in limbo with it because QoH changed her mind and doesn't want me to use all the meat for a big meatloaf, she mentioned making meatballs, too. I wish she'd make up her freaking mind already so I could get on it. I don't feel like wasting the whole day because of her indecision. :/
Can you really not just start without her? Is the meatloaf for a gig?
Not for a gig, just for us to eat. If she had just told me to use the Nancy Fuller recipe, I could have had everything prepped, put together, and in the oven in maybe 45 minutes. With QoH's involvement, it took 3.5 hours. >:(
And then she kept changing the amounts of the ingredients. She'd read one amount, I'd do it, then she'd tell me no, I said a different amount. Apparently her effed up recipe card, which would take a team of scientists to decipher, had different amounts that she had written out all helter-skelter for making different amounts.
Then after I actually got the damn thing in the oven, she had the nerve to ask me to re-write the recipe on a note card. Like I'm supposed to be able to make sense of her original insane scribblings. I'll just look up the recipe on Nancy Fuller's website and write it out and add the modifications that we made.
Anyhoo, the OUAT season 6 finale was last night. It kinds wrapped everything up. Then the next season is supposed to feature a grown-up Henry with a little girl showing up on his doorstep (like he did with Emma) and telling him she's his daughter and his family is in trouble and needs his help. Yeah, no. I'm done with this show. J-Mo isn't coming back for S7 and it's rumored that a lot of the current cast isn't, either. I'm done caring.
I suppose. And they are moving the night it's on from Sunday to Friday at 8pm.
Maybe they'll hire a different writing team as well?
Nope! It's still Kitsis & Horowitz. And they've been pleading their usual 'oh, just trust the writers' tripe. I've been hearing that crap since S3.
Maybe you can craft it out of macaroni? :)
Vajazzle with macaroni? Nah. ;P
I already made myself a stencil. And I'm about 50% finished with a sketch of what it should look like. Trying to look at myself in the mirror and draw without getting caught by QoH is a lot harder than you'd think. D:
Okay, I totally did it! ;P And it doesn't look too bad. I wish I had one of those tiny electric ear and nose hair trimmers to do finer detail, but as it is you can clearly see its a batman symbol. ;D
Well, I fully expect your vagina to go on nightly excursions and start fighting crime now. ;P
I can now nickname my lady bits "The Bat Cave". ;P
It's a pity your labia and hood are so tidyly formed or else they could form a neat cape and cowl. ;P
Nah, it's good the way it is. I can't imagine having labia that were long. That would feel so irritating. They can get irritated quite easily since the skin is sensitive. I'd hate to have long ones that were constantly rubbing against underwear and pants. D:
I'd hate to have long ones that were constantly rubbing against underwear and pants.
I guess women who do have "long ones" have to wear special underwear or something? I mean, men's bits are quite long and we seem to manage. If there is any rubbing it's usually intentional. :)
Well, it's certainly getting a lot warmer over here. A little too much so for me. Good thing I bought that ventilator last summer.
I guess women who do have "long ones" have to wear special underwear or something?
I have no idea. Not really my concern. On a related note, guys are so catty when it comes to women and their body parts, especially the little douchebags on Sherdog MMA forum. Always making snide comments about boob size, whether you can see long clits and labia through their shorts, etc. Like they'd ever have a chance to be with those women. No woman wants to be with some critical asshole. And they usually look like shit themselves and have no room to talk about others.
BTW, there was recently some hacked lady mma selfie pics that got leaked. I learned that Angela Magana has an ass that is very similar in shape to my own. :O
men's bits are quite long and we seem to manage.
But you have hair on ze ballz and a foreskin for protection. ;P
Ya know, when I was a very little kid I always thought that clothing for men and women was ass backward. Women should wear pants because we're anatomically suited for them, while men should wear skirts because then their dangly bits wouldn't be confined. At least Scotsmen had the right idea. ;P
Anyhoo, you said you were fairly happy with your equipment, so I guess I can assume that you are at least average? Or are you like closet porn star size? ;P ;D
it's certainly getting a lot warmer over here
Same here. It's already summer-like temps (too freakin' hot). :/
guys are so catty when it comes to women and their body parts
It's just the idiots among us, the immature ones and the terminally insecure.
Or are you like closet porn star size?
Nah, I assume I'm just average. Do you want me to give you my penis measurements?
It's already summer-like temps (too freakin' hot).
Summer is still a long way away here. It was nice weather today though. I went out to buy me some new shoes and some new underwear. Oh, and some shampoo.
I found a copy of "A Monster Calls" on-line, I'm watching that now.
I went out to buy me some new shoes and some new underwear. Oh, and some shampoo.
Well, at least you got out and about today. :)
I found a copy of "A Monster Calls" on-line, I'm watching that now.
Cool. Let me know how it was.
Well, I have to go grocery shopping with QoH now. And someone called about a gig for next Saturday. So I can expect 8 days of hell until then. QoH gets too worked up over these things. :/
And I'm technically old enough to be a grandpa. ;P
Aren't you going to be fiddy on your next b-day? ;P
Sounds like a good movie title. ;P
It's quite terrible to live it. She has already started with her obsessing and related nonsense today. I need the money, but the week of torture is hardly worth it. >:(
Well, I suppose the gig is happening regardless if we're there for it. It's supposed to be at some community center's fitness room that has exercise equipment in it. Allegedly the equipment is supposed to be pushed against the wall to make room for the buffets. It's still unclear if QoH will be working it. She already has an attitude about the pay. If they don't agree to what she's asking, she won't work it. She has gotten very diva-ish in her old age. If things aren't exactly to her liking, she cancels and won't work. 20 years ago she'd work any damned thing regardless of how difficult it was. It's really annoying now because we need the money. :/
Cookies came to America through the Dutch in New Amsterdam in the late 1620s. The Dutch word "koekje" was Anglicized to "cookie" or cooky. The earliest reference to cookies in America is in 1703, when "The Dutch in New York provided...'in 1703...at a funeral 800 cookies...'"
Are you supposed to move the equipment yourselves?
I have no idea.
Doesn't really seem like part of the caterer's job.
It is not. Usually it is made clear that we are not furniture movers. If something needs to be moved, it needs to happen before we get there as it's not in our job description. It's all a moot point anyway since QoH called and cancelled as I suspected she would do. I'm kinda relieved even though we desperately need the money. It spares me from suffering through another 4 days of torture.
Does she have money stashed away somewhere maybe?
There was some money saved, but we've been going through it. Not much left now. If only she'd realize that I'm a separate person from her and not conjoined. She acts like if she is incapable of working than I am also. I am quite capable of existing separate from her and having a job of my own. She fails to see this reality. She thinks I'm an extension of her, like an arm, that cannot function without being attached to her.
She must realize you guys need the money from those gigs. You know, to survive. :)
She said herself that she hates to lose the money. However her bs supercedes the need for money.
BTW today I learned that:Â
Cookies came to America through the Dutch in New Amsterdam
Yep. Our country has a lot more Dutch influence than most people realize. (I knew that info about the cookies, BTW :) )
So what kind of cookies will you be making? Maybe some delicious chocolate chip? :D
What is it going to take to make her see it, you think?
I have no idea. How does one rationalize with someone who is irrational? :/
I just made some shortbread. Really easy to make. Quite delicious. :)
Shortbread *is* yummy. Unfortunately it doesn't contain chocolate. ;P
Well, at least I made a little moolah yesterday. I mowed the nabe's yard even though it was ridiculously hot. By the time I was finished I was literally about to pass out. I was feeling faint and nabe chooses that time to get chatty. :rolls eyes: I cut her short and came back to my house to drink a couple large glasses of ice water and sit on the floor. :/
It's hot again today. I was out back raking again (those damn trees never seem to stop shedding leaves) and some bastard wasp stung me on the wrist. I didn't even see the bastards flying around. I suddenly felt a searing pain in my wrist and dropped the rake. *Then* I think I saw one flying by the corn plant. I had to come in the house and put ammonia on the spot where I got stung to neutralize the protein in the poison. Thank God that works almost instantly and stopped it from hurting. Then I sprayed the spot with some lidocaine spray. :)
I went back out, smacked the area where I thought the nest was with the rake, and 3 of the bastards came flying out. I was going to spray their asses with wasp spray, but they flew off. I located the nest, cut the leaf it was attached to from the stalk, and doused it with wasp spray. If the bitches come back and make another nest I'll be ready for them.
The only good thing I can say is at least my wrists are bony and there isn't much meat for the poison to go in to. Otherwise it swells up into a big itchy welt. :/
No, only a few times I've probably had heat exhaustion. I know when I start feeling overheated it's best if I come in for a few minutes and drink water or Gatoraid and strip out of my sweaty clothes so I can cool off.
Usually just a baseball cap. Recently I've been wearing one of those floppy Gilligan-style hats. The brim keeps my ears from getting too much sun.
BTW why are your wrists so bony? ;P
Genetics? What are you implying? ;P
And it seems that I had a delayed reaction to the wasp sting. The next day it swelled into a big red itchy splotch and has been getting progressively worse. I think ATM it has maxed out. I really needed an antihistamine to keep the swelling down, but since I don't have any I've just been taking ibuprofen and putting ice on it. And today I started putting lots of tea tree oil on it. I don't know if that has helped, but it seems less swollen and the red splotch seems less red. It's a lot less sore and itchy than it was this morning at its worst.
Hm. I never liked those. But if they do the job then great.
I don't like the look of it, either, but I got it from a gig (they were giving them out as party favors and someone left their's behind). It does work okay, though.
What makes your wrists more bony then other peoples? :)
I'm sure I have the same amount of bones as everyone else, it's just in don't have much meat on them. ;P
Isn't that just if you're allergic?
It's supposed to keep the swelling down. I've never used any so IDK if it would help or not. It was a suggested remedy in the toobs.
Or maybe Florida wasps have a more dangerous sting than European ones?
The particular variety that got me is a Red Wasp. They are especially nasty little fuckers. I think this is maybe the 4th time in my life I've been stung by one. It's the worst reaction I've had. I always get a big swollen itchy red patch, but never before has the swelling extended past the red patch. Today the swelling in my arm has finally subsided. I still have the hideous red patch. It's still a little itchy, but not as bad as before, and still a little sore, but not as intolerable as it was before. I really despise wasps. >:(
I don think you're supposed to have meat on them. Some people do have a lot subcutaneous fat there.
Have you ever been stung by one before?
Not by a wasp but by a bee. Once when I was a kid and once when I was doing the public gardening job.
Oh, I baked more cookies today. A variation on the shortbread, less butter and instead 2 egg yolks. They're still good but I think I like the first version better.
...
And now firefox keeps crashing on me. Darned.
Hey, have you ever tried changing your handwriting? Mine is usually not the most legible so I thought I'd improve it a little. :)
That's what I meant by meaty. Big ol' fatty wrists. ;P
Not by a wasp but by a bee.
I've never been stung by a bee even though we have lots of bees in the yard. They're all worker bees, though. I have no idea where their hive is.
Hey, have you ever tried changing your handwriting?
When I was in hs I think. I tried experimenting. Of course, my handwriting style has evolved over the years. I usually only write cursive for Christmas cards, but I've been told I have nice cursive. I usually print for everything else. I can get a little sloppy with it, but if I'm trying to make it legible it looks nice IMO. :)
I am cooking BBQ ribs today. QoH threw a fit because I bought them from the old Western Beef store (it got bought by new owners and they changed the name to Broward Meat and Fish) which QoH didn't trust buying meat from since some of it was not from the US and a lot of it was low grade meat.
Well, I purchased these ribs after the name change when it seemed like the quality was improved. These happen to be Smithfield which is a name brand and it was stamped on the package that they are product of USA. And they looked very meaty. QoH got mad when I bought them, but I refused to take them back. :) They were a really good price and like I said very meaty.
So today when I was prepping them to cook, they were indeed a good quality and didn't smell old or anything. I hope they come out tender. I'm going to put them on the grill after they finish baking in the oven. I also have some hotdogs to cook. :)
Hm, I tend to be less sloppy with the print style. I was taught in school how to write cursive when I was 7/8 but I never managed to make it look good and legible.
QoH threw a fit
You know that was going to happen, right? But you bought the ribs anyway. :)
QoH throws a fit no matter what I do, so usually if I want something I just buy it and don't say anything. She noticed right away with the ribs because I had to put them in the cooler that we bring along when we go grocery shopping.
Anyway, she was already prejudiced against them, so she complained that they were tough and tasted terrible to try to ruin it for me before I even had any. After I finished cooking everything and grabbed a couple ribs for myself, the ones I had were fine. They were tender and tasted like any other ribs I've ever bought. QoH has since refused to eat any more of them, which is fine by me. So at least I'll get to eat my fare share. Usually she eats about 80-90% of any meat that I cook because of her self-imposed food restrictions. She's "diabetic" so she can't eat carbs, only meat and green vegetables, tomatoes, and bell peppers. :rolls eyes:
In other news, Ma Nature came early for her monthly visit on Friday. Heavier than usual, but with hardly any cramping, so even though it's annoying, not being in pain is a tradeoff I'll take. :) Hopefully she'll be gone by tomorrow.
That's okay. I figured your browser was acting up again, but allergies is a legit reason.
Yeah, that's nonsense. Surely she eats carbs sometimes?
Yeah, sometimes. The problem has always been that she really needs to exercise, but now that she has really been having issues with her back injury, she has trouble standing up or doing anything. :/
It's not something you ever get used to, is it?
Nope. It's always annoying and most of the time there's pain involved. :/
You mean you can't do that while she's visiting?
No, it's too messy.
In other news, I have to call Dish today to inquire about downgrading since they're getting too expensive. We might have to get rid of the land line, too. :/
I think I mentioned that before. :) Well, we had to go out to run a couple errands today and got back a little late for me to call Dish so I guess I'll do it tomorrow.
The phoneline? Does that mean you'll lose your internet connection? Or is it "just" the TV?
Yeah, the phone line. I'd lose the Internet, too, since it comes together, but I still have Internet on my cell phone (which is how I normally surf the toobs these days). For now I'm just going to inquire into any way to reduce the bill. I think QoH probably has some services on the phone line that she doesn't need. I won't really know until I call to see what can be done.
You know, I've sometimes wondered if this is related to the origin of the vampire legend. Like, some guy is cheating on his wife in their conjugal bed, enthousiastically performing cunnilingus on his menstruating mistress's genitals. Then, unexpectedly, his wife enters the bedroom. They look at each other, her eyes aghast, his lips dripping with period blood.
"Thith ithn't what it lookth like," he manages to utter, smiling, exposing his red-stained teeth, "I'm jutht thucking her brainth out."
I think I mentioned that before.
My brain is getting old. It needs sucking out and being replaced.
I still have Internet on my cell phone
So if people wanted to contact you guys for a catering gig, they'd have to call you directly on your cellphone?
enthousiastically performing cunnilingus on his menstruating mistress's genitals.
Oh Arekino-san, I don't thing you realize how gross all the stuff that comes out during menstruation actually is. It would be bad enough if it was just blood, but that's the least gross part. There's stringy bloody mucus, pieces of uterus lining that have the consistency of egg custard except it's almost black, other fleshy-colored bits, and it doesn't smell too good. I don't think you'd want to have your face and mouth in all that. And it's very uncomfortable for me to begin with. I certainly wouldn't want anyone messing around down there when I didn't feel good. :/
My brain is getting old. It needs sucking out and being replaced.
Is this where I should make a penis/fellatio joke? ;P ;D
they'd have to call you directly on your cellphone?
Yep, and that's problematic because 1) QoH doesn't keep her cell phone on when she's home which is 99% of the time, and 2) most of our contacts only have the home phone number. :/
But you just know there are people out there who think it's yummie.
Oh, no doubt. D:
So how did reducing the bill go?
I haven't gotten to it yet. I only checked the different packages and prices for Dish. I noticed that they have something called "flex pack" now where they offer a core package of the most popular channels and then you can add on "mini packs" with different types of channels like news or sports. I didn't see a price for the core package and they didn't give a complete channel list for it. Also QoH wanted me to hold off on downgrading. I still need to call to inquire about if I can take local channels off since they now charge $10 for those and I can get them over the air for free. Doesn't make sense to pay for them.
I haven't had a chance to call the phone company. QoH always wants to make plans to go to the store or run errands and then changes her mind. I hate to get involved with calling companies when she has plans because the minute I try to do something she'll want me to drop what I'm doing to do what she wants. :/
Hey, have you ever browsed on AliExpress? They have lots of interesting things, some for cheap. I was looking for cheap Legend of Zelda bedding. The one comforter that I liked was at either Think Geek or Hot Topic, I don't recall which, I think it was TG. It was a little too expensive IMO even though it was on sale and the sheet set was sold separately, also a little too expensive. So I searched on AliExpress but didn't find any. They *did* have lots of anime designs that looked pretty cool and also something called "kurumi". LOL I guess that is something to do with hentai stuff? Are you familiar with that, Arekino-san? ;P If I was working I just might buy you one and have it shipped to you. ;P ;D I wonder what your mother would say about that? Lol ;P ;D
I'm familiar with hentai but I've never heard of kurumi.
I'd never heard of it before, either. They had bedsheets with cute girls printed on them, like life-size. Most were fully clothed. Some of them were in their underwear or nekkid, or nekkid and pleasuring themselves with giant pink dildos, so I assumed those ones would fall into the hentai category. :shrugs:
I'm sure she'd love to be confronted with her son's preverted inclinations. ;P
Lol I had a sorta awkward exchange with my mother over her views of sex the other day. She has a negative view of men and sex and I guess she thinks I'm just supposed to remain single and celibate my whole life (I snarked that phrase at her). Then she made some comment about after she dies I'm going to go wild and screw everything or go out and find some dyke. I told her she's wrong on both counts. Firstly, I'm demisexual, so I'm not going to be fucking random people and certainly not lesbians. The wildest thing I'm likely to do would be to buy a sex toy or two since I wouldn't have to worry about a nosy old woman finding them. ;P
If I did I'm sure my life would be much more interesting. Alas.
Lots of interesting diseases you could contract. D:
I don't recall. She was on one of her broken record rants and started accusing me of things I would do in the future. It wasn't something I wanted to talk about with her, I just said enough to defend myself.
That´s just another word for normal, I'd say.
I suppose. I always thought it was odd when people commented on peeps they thought were attractive and wanted to fuck. How can anyone want to fuck someone they don't know?
I have to wonder what kind of perversions you have in mind though. :)
There's plenty of diseases to be had from regular sex. Anal sex really helps spread them because of the anatomy and function of that body part. It's amazing how ignorant some people can be when it comes to basic anatomy and biology. The mouth is the beginning of the digestive tract and the an us is the exit. Anything put in either end gets disseminated throughout the body. And butt holes are where the poo comes out. D:
And then there are bacterial and yeast infections. Lots of nasty things to spread around. And the worst part is you can catch something just from poor hygiene and sanitary practices like nasty people who work in food service spreading hepatitis and e-coli because they don't wash their hands after using the toilet. D:
And I think some people get some kind of thrill from it. Not for me, blech.
thankfully someone invented condoms some time ago
It's too bad so many people are too lazy to use one.
 I thought you were thinking about perversions. :)
There are also plenty of diseases that likely came from cross-species contamination due to bestiality. That's pretty perverted. Animals can't give consent.
A while back on the PD forum one of the female members had posted about her husband pressuring her to have anal sex. Not the first time a woman on there posted about this topic. Seems popular with the narc porn watchers. Anyway, there were plenty of men on the forum who objected to putting their penis in a poop chute. Lol Consenting people can choose to do whatever they like, but pressuring someone to do something that it potentially harmful to them is crossing a line IMO. My comment was to tell him that it's an exit not an entrance. That was quite popular with the ladies. ;P I don't really understand what the appeal is with anal. Seems with the narcs it's a feeling of domination or they're getting a thrill by doing something that is semi taboo.
The females certainly can't. Then again, if consent is really a problem here then does that mean that artifical insemination or other breeding methods are also perverted?
pressuring someone to do something that it potentially harmful to them is crossing a line IMO.
Pressuring someone to do anything sexual is crossing a line. So, yeah.
I don't really understand what the appeal is with anal.
As far as recieving anal is concerned, stimulating certain nerves in the anus the right way can be pleasurable. Personally, I just don't like the idea of sticking my penis in there. Apparently even porn actors prefer that their colleagues have an enema performed on them first. I suppose it makes their workplace slightly less messy. :)
if consent is really a problem here then does that mean that artifical insemination or other breeding methods are also perverted?
I was only talking about humans screwing animals.
stimulating certain nerves in the anus the right way can be pleasurable.
I think in the case of males it's more about stimulating the prostate. ;P
Apparently even porn actors prefer that their colleagues have an enema performed on them first.
Even then that's not going to clean out all the bacteria. D:
Personally, I just don't like the idea of sticking my penis in there.
So what kind of activities do you think you'd like then? I'm assuming oral is one. Men seem to really like that. And women appreciate a man who will return the favor. ;D BTW, the penis shape you have is allegedly good for g-spot stimulation. ;)Â
I know but if you're breeding animals then you're also forcing them to have sex with a member of the opposite sex (of the same species). The females are not asked for consent and technically they are being raped. Do you think it matters to them which species is raping them?
I think in the case of males it's more about stimulating the prostate.
I don't know. I do have a hard time believing that's the case.
Even then that's not going to clean out all the bacteria.
No not all of them. Then again, you're vagina contains bacteria as well, as does my penis. Different types of bacteria, sure.
How are you with hygiene in general BTW? I kind of assumed you weren't super uptight about it considering all the work you do in the garden.
Men seem to really like that.
And you know this because of all the porn you've watched? ;P
Oral sex seems like a rather strange experience. Wet and sloppy. :)
the penis shape you have is allegedly good for g-spot stimulation.
Yeah, maybe. I admit I've wondered about that. When I first heard of the g-spot, sometime in the early eighties, it was considered to be somewhat illusive or hard to find. Many women apparently had been unaware of its' existence, some even doubted that it was a real thing. I gather you've found yours then?
if you're breeding animals then you're also forcing them to have sex with a member of the opposite sex
With animals it's a bit different as they are at the mercy of their biology and instincts. The females have sex when they are in heat and the males only care about that when the females are in heat. I've had dogs of both sexes and that is the case. It's not like they can choose when it happens unlike humans. Humans can have sex whenever we feel like it, we don't have to wait for estrus. And animals mate strictly for reproducing unlike humans where it is usually done for pleasure forgetting that it can result in babies. ;P I don't view animals on the same level as humans anyway.
I do have a hard time believing that's the case.
Prostate stimulation is allegedly on par with g-spot stimulation. I guess you'll never know if you don't try. ;P (I'm not suggesting gay sex, you supposedly can stimulate it with fingers up your bum or by stroking a certain area on the perineum. :) )
you're vagina contains bacteria as well, as does my penis.
The good kind, not ones like e-coli. ;)
How are you with hygiene in general BTW? I kind of assumed you weren't super uptight about it considering all the work you do in the garden.
While it's true that I don't mind getting dirty, I certainly don't like staying that way. I don't like being stinky or feeling dirty, so I like regular showers and keeping clean and groomed. I think we Americans are pretty obsessed with personal hygiene. ;)
And you know this because of all the porn you've watched? ;P
No, from all the men I've worked around.
Wet and sloppy. :)
Vaginas can get wet and sloppy, too. ;P I guess it's the tongue and sucking action that's appealing.
it was considered to be somewhat illusive or hard to find.
It's not. It's really easy to find. ;P ;D
I gather you've found yours then?
Yep. See above answer. ;D Unfortunately I have rather short fingers, so it's not something I normally do since I tend to get a cramp in my wrist while trying to get at it. :/ There's definitely a different sensation than with clitoral stimulatuon.
That's not always true. Some females of a species can be quite picky with who the have intercourse with. Besides that doesn't cover the case where a human has sex with a female that is in heat.
I don't view animals on the same level as humans anyway.
It seems that when it concerns consent you do view animals on the same level. That was one of the arguments against bestiality that you stated.
you supposedly can stimulate it with fingers up your bum or by stroking a certain area on the perineum.
Well, I'm going to have to decline on option one and option two does nothing for me.
I guess it's the tongue and sucking action that's appealing.
The tongue action, probably yes, the sucking action... probably not? I can't imagine that to be in any way pleasurable. Plus it doesn't sound great. I can't stand slurping sounds.
I think we Americans are pretty obsessed with personal hygiene.
Obsessed? Like how?
There's definitely a different sensation than with clitoral stimulatuon.
Do you have preference of one over the other? I guess it's best to be sorta random/unpredictable with what your stimulating?
I can't imagine that to be in any way pleasurable. Plus it doesn't sound great. I can't stand slurping sounds.
Oh Arekino-san, you are very picky. ;)
Obsessed? Like how?
I guess 'obsessed' is a little strong of a word. We just like to be clean and smell nice. It's a cultural thing I guess. I used to hear stories from people who traveled abroad saying how people in the rest of the world stunk and didn't bathe regularly or wear deodorant. If I'm in a store and someone stinks it's really quite jarring and offensive. It's kind of a common courtesy to others to not assault their olfactory system. D:
Do you have preference of one over the other?
I suppose clitoral.
I guess it's best to be sorta random/unpredictable with what your stimulating?
How do you mean? If you were stimulating someone else? I'd say no. Just speaking for myself, if you are on one thing, just stick with it. I wouldn't want any surprises or jumping from one thing to another. Let's say you were orally stimulating my clit, I probably wouldn't want you to stop and try for the g-spot. If you were going to do both (sorta like venus butterfly sans the anal part) then do both at a steady pace.
Anyhoo, it has been raining here for 6 days straight. I'm surprised Noah hadn't showed up yet. >:(
Yes. The impression I've somehow got is that doing the same thing all the time gets "boring". Isn't that why they say to write the alphabet with your tongue when peforming oral?
it has been raining here for 6 days straight.
We've only had a few nights of rain after a period of drought. We're rather happy with it as it's better for the veggies in the vegetable garden. Also, I like it cooler. :)
Yeah, God help you if you get down wind of a Paki in a small shop. All that turmeric and cumin reeks. D:
The impression I've somehow got is that doing the same thing all the time gets "boring".
Well, from what I've read from other women, and I find the same applies to me as well, is that there's usually one tried and true way to achieve orgasm, so stick with that. All these other alphabet techniques and whatnot just seems like stuff to sell magazines. It might be nice as foreplay, but when it comes to the big O stick with what works. ;)
it's better for the veggies in the vegetable garden. Also, I like it cooler. :)
It's not so good for the leaky roof and it makes all the plants that require trimming grow too fast, so more work for me. But it is making my neighbor's grass grow faster, too, so I'll have to cut it sooner. ;)
there's usually one tried and true way to achieve orgasm, so stick with that.
Sex seems boring to me now. Why bother? ;P
o I'll have to cut it sooner.
Mo' rain mo' moneyz. :)
Mo' rain here as well.
I went to the doctor as my stomach problems aren't going away. She's going to send me to a specialist to have a look at my internals with a camera. First time for me. I can't imagine it's going to be a pleasant experience.
Yep. The nabe called a couple hours ago and left a message on my phone asking if I could cut it today while it wasn't raining. Well, it's raining now so it's not getting done today. :/
I doubt that if I had called her back and tried to do it that I'd have been able to finish before the rain started up again. QoH usually likes to go shopping on Friday so I didn't want to get involved with mowing. With QoH everything is always up in the air and plans are subject to change with her whims. No one can waste days like her with all the uncertainty. If I didn't have her around to throw a wrench in my plans I could get soooo much accomplished.
I can't imagine it's going to be a pleasant experience.
Nope, it most certainly won't be. I've heard stories from peeps who've had it done and it's most unpleasant to say the least. First they give you this stuff to drink that makes you shit your brains out to the point that your ass hole is in pain. Then you get to have instruments shoved up your ass. If you are getting the barium treatment, you go through step one and then they pump a massive amount of liquid up your arsehole and you have to try to hold it in while they poke, prod, and turn you this way and that. I've also heard stories about peeps who were unable to hold it in which resulted in a shit geyser/explosion which soaked the doctors and nurses and most of the exam room. D:
So you are in for quite an experience. Good luck with that. ;)
Then you get to have instruments shoved up your ass.
I think you may have misunderstood. I have some issues with my esophagus and my stomach. They'll probably shove one of those snake-like camera thingies down my throat to have a close look at what's going on in there.
Oops! Well, disregard what I said (for now, anyway ;P). I suppose they'll have to sedate you if they are going to shove a camera down your throat? I certainly wouldn't want to be awake for that. D:
#citation needed# ;P
QoH can verify everything except the shit geyser. She did say she was barely able to hold it in and that if it let loose there would definitely be a shit geyser. ;P I doubt very seriously if I could locate that "shit geyser" story that I read. I recall it being in a comments thread somewhere where people were swapping their horror stories about having Lower GI series of tests done.
In other news, I *did* manage to mow the nabe's yard yesterday. The sun came out for a brief while after it rained and dried things enough for me to be able to mow. It went faster this time thanks to the new blade I installed on the mower. Got paid today. :) Only bad thing is she gave me 10 dollar bills. Now I have almost 30 singles in my wallet. Cashiers might think I work as a stripper with all those ones. ;P
suppose they'll have to sedate you if they are going to shove a camera down your throat?
They did that with my father when they had to have a look inside his lungs. I think it's an option in case a person really can't handle swallowing the camera. I assume they'll be using an endoscope. Those are very thin.
Cashiers might think I work as a stripper with all those ones.
Well, you do have the good looks and the fit physique. :)
Nice of te nabe to pay you right away and in cash. I guess you don't have to share that money with Qoh?
I don't care how thin they are, I don't think I could handle that while awake. :/
Nice of te nabe to pay you right away and in cash.
Well, I *did* have to wait until late the next day to get paid. She used to do so the day of.
I guess you don't have to share that money with Qoh?
I usually buy food/groceries with it.
Anyway, in other news, QoH is in paranoid crazy bitch mode today. She has accused her ex-bf of stealing her cast iron pans (he didn't, it's just that she hasn't used them for so long that she misremembers what size they are), accused the government of putting poison in the food because when she was cooking salmon cakes froth formed in the cooking oil (this happens when you fry something containing egg batter because the lecithin from the egg combines with the evaporating moisture from the food to make a thick froth, but QoH knows better than science :rolls eyes: ), and called me a degenerate dyke/lesbian because I don't go along with her crazy conspiracy theories.
Oh, and her other theory as to why the salmon cakes frothed is that the government took all the aborted babies and ground them up and put them in the food. (How they make them look and taste like salmon is beyond me.) When I didn't reply to her saying 'isn't that a possibility?' she screamed at me, "AREN'T YOU GOING TO ANSWER ME???!!!" Any other time she wants me to stay silent until she is finished with her monologue, otherwise she'll scream at me STOP INTERRUPTING ME!!!!! No matter what I do I'm always wrong according to her. I can't fucking win no matter what I do. :/
Oh, she backed up her claim about the ground-up fetuses in the food by saying that "they" made lampshades out of Jews' skin during the holocaust. I had no idea there were still nazis alive who did that and that they were in charge of the food supply. :rolls eyes: But I'm the enemy because I don't agree with her crazy shit.
Does what she says sound crazy to you? I'm around her so damn much that it's easy to lose perspective and begin to think I'm the crazy one. Of course that's all just part of the mind fuck I guess. :/
She has accused her ex-bf of stealing her cast iron pans
Ha! :D
QoH is in paranoid crazy bitch mode today.
Sounds like it, yes.
he government took all the aborted babies and ground them up and put them in the food.
That's original. :)
I can't fucking win no matter what I do.
Just tell her; "Well, I'm sorry to hear that." :)
Does what she says sound crazy to you?
A lot of things sound crazy to me these days and, yes, so does this. :)
begin to think I'm the crazy one.
It's not an eithe/or thing, I'd say. We all have a little crazy inside us and sometimes it comes out. Some people have a lot of crazy inside them, like QoH and it comes out lots of times. :)
Ugh, I'm feeling tired ATM. QoH is exhausting to be around. Had to go to the bank today. At least I swapped half of the one dollar bills I had for larger denominations. :)
Trimmed some hedges yesterday. It's bloody hot and humid here and there are swarms of nasty mosquitos. :/ I still have the plumbago in the front planter to trim. I suppose I'll have to lug the electric trimmer back out to do it. Which reminds me that the blade needs sharpening. :/
28. I got a 10 and a 5 in exchange for 15 of them.
Is your plumbago the type that grows lianas?
Since they are technically like a vine, they have a tendency to try to grow up other plants. The stems don't get very thick, though, maybe only a centimeter thick. QoH has them for bushes/low hedges. They are a pain in the ass since they grow rather quickly and require constant trimming, but she doesn't care since she has her slave (me) to do it. :/
Having bills for a single dollar is actually quite handy. I mean, instead of having coins which we have over here. I don't pay with cash much anymore but even now I carry some metal currency in my wallet and it's probably less comfortable and convenient than paper money.
maybe only a centimeter thick
Still sounds like you could hang from them and play tarzan or jane. :)
she has her slave (me) to do it.
Better make sure you remember your safeword then. :)
Does she make you feel guilty or worthless to make you do it?
Having bills for a single dollar is actually quite handy.
Yes, that's why I only traded 15 of them. Singles come in handy when I'm only buying a few dollars worth of vegetables at the market. They have tried a couple times to convince Americans to use dollar coins instead of bills, but it's always unpopular. Then the comedians make jokes about what the hell are you supposed to do at a strip club? The stripper doesn't want a bunch of coins weighing down her panties, or where do you stick a coin in a g-string? LOL
Still sounds like you could hang from them and play tarzan or jane. :)
Nah, they're quite brittle and snap fairly easily. You can play Tarzan with the dangly roots from a ficus, though. Those are quite strong. (I speak from experience. ;P )
Does she make you feel guilty or worthless to make you do it?
No, I don't mind doing yard work. It gets me out of the house and away from her for a few hours. Although if she died I'd probably get rid of some of the plumbago and some other stuff that requires too much maintenance.
In other news, it's been quite a busy news day with that apartment building fire in London and the asshole who tried to kill all the Congress people at baseball practice in DC today. They showed cell phone video of the sounds of the shots being fired. The shooter must've been the most terrible shot in history to fire that many rounds and only hit 4 people. Only 2 of the victims were hurt seriously. The cops there had to be pretty good shots to be able to kill the perp while returning fire with only handguns. The victims were lucky that they got rushed to Georgetown hospital since that's one of the best in the country.
Then why complain about being her slave when having to do the trimming for QoH?
Only 2 of the victims were hurt seriously.
That does seem odd.
In more other news, I've made an appointment for a gastroscopy in july. I'll be the star of an indepth documentary on the human stomach. Finally some recognition. ;P
Then why complain about being her slave when having to do the trimming for QoH?
Because it's way more crap than most people would have in a yard. Most normal people don't want to have a yard that requires that level of maintenance. She has all these damn plumbagos that grow fairly quickly and need constant trimming, plus all the mango and avocado trees that she has me trim every year because she's paranoid that they're going to fall on the house, plus the stupid "hedges" like the bougainvillea in the back which is another damn vine like the plumbago that has to be trimmed all the time or else it gets out of control and grows all over everything. And then all the damn raking of leaves. It's a real pain in the ass to be constantly doing all that. I don't mind a normal amount of yard work, and it is an excuse to get out of the house away from QoH for a while, but the amount of time dedicated to doing it is ridiculous. For example, if I was working regularly I wouldn't want my leisure time taken up with all that yard maintenance. Fewer plants and trees would mean more free time for fun activities.
I've made an appointment for a gastroscopy in july.
Unfortunately, I don't have much to talk about today. It rained quite a bit earlier today. It was enough to make it somewhat dark when I woke up so I just slept in a little longer. I always sleep good when it's rainy.
QoH turned her TV off and went back to bed at little after I woke up so I had a couple hours to myself so I did some laundry without her interference and criticism.
Anyway, even if that's true, what was so different in 2007 that made you capable of having fun then?
Also, not much going on here. It's still too warm for my liking. I drove my oldest nephew to a nearby city so he could drop off some homework yesterday. Today my youngest nephew is having a sleepover here because his oldest brother is having a belated 19th birthday party. There's the Parkfeest in the center of town. Lots of loud music. I could go have a look tomorrow but I probably won't. I'm still the same old stupid arekino who won't do normal human behavior, I guess. Totally boring and not fun. Oh well.
what was so different in 2007 that made you capable of having fun then?
Back then I worked almost full time and I had a friend from work that I used to go do stuff with (and I was allowed to drive "my" car and didn't have QoH thinking I need constant supervision >:( ).
 Lots of loud music.
I'm turning into one of those crabby older peeps who doesn't like loud music (unless it's a band or genre that I like ;P ). So what kinds of music are they having? Maybe you could go and be different. :)
Speaking of music, they had the old reggae guy again today at the store formerly known as Western Beef. At least this time they had him set up towards the back of the store and not the front where it was too loud. And it seemed like he had the volume turned down a little. He can't really sing worth a crap but he plays the steel drum a little along with his recorded music.
I don't know. All sorts of stuff. From what I can hear not something I want to listen to. Come to think of it, I don't think I've listened to any modern popmusic since 2010. But I could be wrong about that.
He can't really sing worth a crap but he plays the steel drum a little along with his recorded music.
I don't care for modern pop music in general. Most of it is utter crap. I like a couple of Lady Gaga's songs, but that's about it. Usually I listen to the classic alternative station on the Sirius or the "Ozzy's Boneyard" station which is classic hard rock. So anything from The Cure, The Smiths, Sisters of Mercy, etc to AC/DC, Megadeth, Motorhead, Black Sabbath, etc. :) I used to be a metal head when I was a teen, but I don't care for the death metal any more like I used to. I only like a couple of the newer bands like Amon Amarth and Lacuna Coil and a couple songs from Gojira and maybe a couple others.
Anyway, QoH has been especially verbally abusive today and even using a church program that was on to abuse me with. It's quite astounding how she is so blind to her own behavior. How she can think she's a Christian is beyond me. Christians are supposed to apply the bible to themselves. (She proudly proclaimed that she's never read the bible and that she doesn't need to to be a Christian.) She only uses the bible to point out others shortcomings, not her own. It's quite the opposite of how a Christian is supposed to behave. She acts worse than those Westboro Baptist assholes. :/
So anything from The Cure, The Smiths, Sisters of Mercy, etc to AC/DC, Megadeth, Motorhead, Black Sabbath, etc.
Looks like you're stuck in the eighties, music wise. :)

How? I mean, if she hasn't read the bible then she doesn't really know what's in there so then how can she use the bible to point out others' shortcomings?
She acts worse than those Westboro Baptist assholes.
She hasn't been disrupting any funeral services lately, has she?
Yep. There's a newish radio station in my area "The Shark" which plays new "alternative" music. Once in a blue moon they'll play something from Muse which is okay, but otherwise it's mostly crap and definitely hard to listen to. :/
Looks like you're stuck in the eighties, music wise. :)
Mostly. I do like some older stuff like Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Queen, and sometimes I'll listen to the electronica stations. :)
how can she use the bible to point out others' shortcomings?
Because she watches religious programs like on the SBN channel (where their opinions were the catalyst for her current anti-gay bias). So instead of reading the bible for herself, she relies on the commentary of others. :/
She hasn't been disrupting any funeral services lately, has she?
Not yet. ;P She just spews lots of anti-gay and other bigoted rhetoric.
You were not yet a teenager in the eighties, right?
That is correct. I was in elementary school during the 80's.
I assume your enjoyment of music from that period started later in life then?
Not entirely. They used to play 80's pop music and alternative in the mall at the "cool stores" and also at the roller rinks. I always loved the music they played at this one store that sold novelties (it was like a less naughty version of Spencer Gifts). And of course the music stores and t-shirt store played good music. I had no idea back then which bands they were. It wasn't until I was in my early 20's when QoH was still dragging me around shopping like I was still a small child and I'd get fed up with it and insist on waiting in the car that I discovered the University of Miami's radio station that played 80's alternative and goth music. *Then* I finally learned the names of the bands whose music I liked and learned the names of the genres. When I was in high school hair metal was popular and I learned from other kids the names of bands.
My parental units never played music in the house and the strict Baptist school that I was sent to labeled anything that wasn't specifically Christian music as "devil music" and "satanic". Since I wasn't around people who listened to pop music or any other type for that matter, I didn't really know what was what. So I've had a weird upbringing in regards to music, different than most people I assume.
I didn't even know that there were different radio stations when I was a kid. QoH only listened to talk radio in the house and the radio in the car was permanently set to the country music station. I *despise* country music to this day.
How do you think she'd react if you started going to church regularly?
Oh I'm sure she'd somehow spin it to be lesbian related in some way. :/
That's a protestant denomination, right? I've got the impression protestants are often a bit more strict than catholics and yet they dislike a central religious authority. Is that the reason there are so many protestant denominations, you think?
I'm sure she'd somehow spin it to be lesbian related in some way.
Because obviously churches are the preferred meeting place for lesbians. Well, she does have a one track mind. Your assesment of her seems plausible. :)
I've got the impression protestants are often a bit more strict than catholics and yet they dislike a central religious authority.
It depends on the denomination. I've heard stories about strict nuns who beat kids with rulers. I had that experience with teachers when I was in kindergarten and 1st grade. :/
Is that the reason there are so many protestant denominations, you think?
I think not wanting to submit to authority is part of it. You get some disgruntled person who doesn't agree with some teaching so they go off and start their own church. Then in this country, there are tax benefits to churches. So there are lots of people who game the system by starting a "church".
Because obviously churches are the preferred meeting place for lesbians.
Perhaps if it's a Unitarian church? ;P
she does have a one track mind. Your assesment of her seems plausible. :)
I know her very well and know how she thinks.
In other news, I managed to mow the *whole* yard yesterday. Because of all the rain we've been having issues had to skip the back yard the last 2 times because I didn't have enough time to do it. The back yard was really high in some spots and makes it hard to push the mower through. I still need to clean it up a bit with the weed whacker but that's not happening today because it's too hot and humidity and Ma Nature has arrived for her monthly visit. :/
I've heard stories about strict nuns who beat kids with rulers.
Yes, that is the stereotype. I'm not sure how much truth there is to it or if local culture influenced that.
You get some disgruntled person who doesn't agree with some teaching so they go off and start their own church.
Mutation through interpretation seems hard to control well without a central authority. I suppose if muslim countries weren't so fundamentalist you'd see a lot of new muslim denominations popping up.
but that's not happening today
Well, if it gets out of hand you'll ust have to get your sword out and start macheting (apparently a real english word) away. ;P
I'm not sure how much truth there is to it or if local culture influenced that.
It is true. I know/have known several people who went to Catholic school and have told me stories about the mean nuns. Hitting kids with a ruler used to be a thing.
if muslim countries weren't so fundamentalist you'd see a lot of new muslim denominations popping up.
They don't have the same phenomenon because to oppose or disagree with the koran or Muhammed in any way is apostasy to them and you get beheaded. That discourages any dissent. :/
you'll just have to get your sword out and start macheting (apparently a real english word) away. ;P
Surprisingly enough, at around 6pm yesterday it was less hot and I wasn't feeling too bad so I went ahead and weed whacked. It took me about an hour and I was dripping with sweat by the time I finished. My shirt looked like someone poured a bucket of water on my back. I stripped off immediately after coming inside and stood in front of the fan to cool off. The back yard looks nice now. :)
Oh, I forgot to mention...This was kinda funny: the other day I had to go to the bank and when I was walking up to the entrance and older guy wearing a ball cap that said "Isreal" on it had exited, looked up at me, took all my magnificence in, and said under his breath, "Oh, nice." LOL I wasn't even dressed particularly nicely, I was wearing a tank top, so I guess my arms are impressive. ;P
Well, today I am not feeling well. I have a stomach ache for some reason. It started before I even got up. I laid in bed longer than normal hoping it would go away, and it did somewhat. After I got up to use the bathroom and check the mail box, it came back. I went and laid down again until it felt better then I got up to fix something to eat and it came back again. It seems to start hurting when I stand up for any period of time and goes away after I lay down for a while. Very curious. I'm wondering if it has to do with something I ate last night. I had half a papaya that wasn't 100% ripe and a small amount of salad. Maybe one of those things had funky microbes that are messing with my stomach. :/
In other news it is hot again today. I had wanted to do some work on the roof but I guess that's not happening.
Hm, yes. Is it possible Ma Nature is involved in this? Which part of your stomach hurts? Do your faeces look normal? Your urine? Have you been throwing up? feeling nauseous? How's your temperature? Have you been drinking enough?
I suppose it could just be a stomach flu. Is QoH also affected?
I think it was some sort of indigestion. I drank a glass of water with a tablespoon or so of apple cider vinegar in it and it did the trick. I've had a stomach ache like that before but didn't know the vinegar in water trick. Thanks Internet! :)
Anyway, Qoh woke up being especially nasty today. I have no idea what it is that sets her off. She was "normal" for a couple days and I was wondering when she was going to get back to nasty mode.
I was in the kitchen eating some pineapple and she came down stairs and started in on me and then had the nerve to say that I started it. I said I was standing here eating pineapple, I didn't say anything to you and she tells me 'don't play innocent'. Like O_o WTF?
Then the nabe wanted me to mow their yard. I said maybe later as I was thawing some chicken to cook. QoH tells me to do it (mow) while the chicken thaws. So I start prepping for the job. Then QoH comes up with some paranoid shit about roaches getting in the mower when I mow over there. 1) I've never seen roaches over there, and 2) I doubt very seriously that one would get on a mower while it's freaking running . So after I did the mowing part and came back to get the weed whacker and power cord, QoH flips the fuck out because I came in the house with my shoes on (like I've done for 41 years of my life). Suddenly I'm not supposed to wear my shoes in the house.
I swear whenever she gets into one of these moods, she just looks for any little thing that she can use to make an issue of and attack me for. And of course after I finished and put everything away and went into the kitchen to prep the chicken, she started in with the lesbian stuff again. This time her evidence is that "'that damn dyke Filipino girl'gave you those pants and you're still wearing them to this day". This one is full of half truths. Yes, the woman in question was very likely a lesbian, but never spoke about it with me. She had been in the army and was really cool and a good worker. Just because I can be friends at work with someone who is gay does not mean that I am also gay. I can be friends with anyone who is friendly and a decent person. I'm not going to act like a dick to them or shun them because they are gay. There were quite a few gay people, mostly males, who I was friendly with at work. QoH uses this as "evidence" of my alleged lesbianism. It's funny how there were also straight people at work who I was friendly with, but somehow that is never used as evidence of my straightness. :/
So yeah, gay Filipino chick gave me her old camouflage BDU pants and a new pair of cold weather uniform boots and I still have them. The only thing that means to me is she was generous to give me something that I could use because we wore the same size and she no longer needed them. Jeez, can't someone give something to another person as a kind gesture? Does everything have to have some hidden gay meaning? I guess with QoH it does when she's always looking for one.
Arekino-san, I'm sooo fucking tired of her accusing me of that. She's beaten that dead horse until it looks like ground beef FFS. I'm not gay. I don't want to fuck any lesbians. It's all so fucking old and tiresome. :/
Oh! Forgot QoH's other "proof" that I'm a lesbian. She says to me, "I noticed that you have been shaving your moustache just like the dyke that you are. You shave it so it can be thick like a man's because all you dykes want to look like a man."
I told her I don't shave it, I pluck it. Then she argues back and forth with me 'yes you do,' no I don't. So fucking childish. For the record, I do pluck my "moustache" because I have very dark hair and pale skin and it's very noticeable. I've suffered for years having to listen to people's rude comments all because I was stupid enough to listen to QoH's bs about not shaving it or it will grow back thick like a man's beard.
I finally had enough of it about 10 years ago and decided to pluck the hairs. Just last year I started shaving the peach fuzz that grows in the mutton chop area and under my neck. I've had a really embarrassing patch of hair the size of a half dollar that has grown on my throat since I was a little kid. If I had fair-colored hair, it wouldn't be that noticeable, but I don't. Many women who have these issues employ various methods to remove unwanted hair. It's to look more feminine and that's why I do it. So QoH's "reasoning" makes entirely no sense. If I wanted to look masculine shouldn't I leave my facial hair on? Removing it makes me look more feminine, not masculine. Like I said before, she looks for any damn thing I do as a way to criticize and put me down. She's a disgusting excuse for a human.
You were wearing shoes while you were still in your mother's womb? :o
can't someone give something to another person as a kind gesture?
Would you have interpreted it as merely a kind gesture if a man had given those things to you? I mean, it's possible (perhaps unlikely) she had some feelings for you, right? Still doesn't make you a lesbian though.
I gues it's also possible she saw you as some poor schmuck who needed some charity. :)
bs about not shaving it or it will grow back thick like a man's beard.
Yeah, I don't think you have the right hormones for that, being a woman and all. :)
If I wanted to look masculine shouldn't I leave my facial hair on?
Even if you did, you wouldn't look masculine. It's not like you're some sort of bearded lady.
Besides Qoh giving you a hard time, is it possible you're feeling insecure about some facial hair because you've never been in a romantic relationship with man who more than likely wouldn't give a damn about it?
You were wearing shoes while you were still in your mother's womb? :o
Tiny Dr Marten's, I bet. ;P
Would you have interpreted it as merely a kind gesture if a man had given those things to you?
Probably. She was someone I only saw occasionally. In the context that it occurred in, she had retired from the army and was getting rid of most of her army stuff because she didn't want to think about the army any more. She was moving on to different things. It seemed to me she gave those items to me because I had an appreciation for them and a use for them. She never acted interested in me romantically. It wasn't any different than with anyone else I worked with. I think she was in her mid 30's and I was around 23 at the time, so there was a generation gap.
I guess it's also possible she saw you as some poor schmuck who needed some charity. :)
That's probably pretty accurate.
is it possible you're feeling insecure about some facial hair because you've never been in a romantic relationship with man who more than likely wouldn't give a damn about it?
No, it's just QoH pissing me off with her bs. PD's are completely infuriating because they spew illogical crap and you can't reason with them.
Anyhoo, I'm seriously annoyed with nabe's bro. The lazy cunt parked his car in the grass next to the fence and then didn't move it to the driveway when he knew I was going to be mowing. I asked nabe to ask him to move it and she told me 'oh, he said he's laying down now and he's not going to move it'. So I had to mow around it and now that he's left there's a patch of high grass there and it looks shitty.
I'm sorry, but I have no respect for him as a "man". He's a lazy cunt. He deliberately got rid of their lawnmower so he would have an excuse not to mow. Then, almost a year ago before they got their re-roof, one of his grandmother's relatives came over and shamed him into trimming their frangipani tree so it wouldn't be in the way. And you know what the lazy fucker did? He threw the cuttings down on the ground in their back yard where they've been ever since.
And nabe is just as lazy. She doesn't work and is there all day long doing nothing. She could easily go back there with the garbage bin and fill it up a little at a time to go out with the garbage pickup twice a week until it's all gone, but NOOooo!!! They're all too fucking lazy to hit a lick at their own house.
Both of them are in their 30's and still live with their grandmother and mooch off of her. It's disgusting. Two adult-babies who don't know how to do anything.
Anyway, at least I benefit a little due to their uselessness. I went ahead and trimmed the little hedge they have and edged the yard. I didn't get to edge the last time because it had rained. So when she paid me she gave me an extra $10. :)
So, wouldn't he be a lazy dick rather than a lazy cunt or are there subtleties here that I'm not aware of?
"Cunt" here is mainly being used in the British fashion of insult. Kinda like calling someone a massive asshole. In the US, it is the ultimate taboo word that is laced with misogyny if you call a woman that. Since it's technically a rude word for vagina/vulva and the lesser rude word is "pussy" and can mean a male who is wimpy or unmanly, I'm also calling him unmanly in a rude way. ;P
Laziness is one of the perks of being wealthy. ;P
They're not wealthy, just welfare Queens and play upon people's charity (they have family members and people from church giving them things and doing stuff for them all the time).
At least they're not stingy, I guess?
I've never experienced them being generous like that before so I assumed that the guy who used to do their lawn likely charged them extra to do the hedge. He was the type who didn't like to spend time doing hedges, he was a cut, blow, and go type. So if he had to do a hedge he'd charge extra for it.
The question is now how to make them even more lazy so you can do more things for them so you can earn more moneyzzzz.;P
Yeah, as annoying as their laziness is to me, I benefit from it monetarily. I wish I had a couple more lazy peeps around here who require my services. ;P
Lawn service can be a pretty lucrative business. If you have professional equipment it makes the work go faster and you can do many lawns in one day. Just 20 customers per week would provide a decent living. :)
I was thinking more like 4 or 5 per day. Ride-on mowers go pretty fast and cut a wide swath. Then one could have a short work week and a long weekend. ;P
But how to find them?
This is just a hypothetical since QoH would throw a fit and not allow me to use "her" mower and equipment. If she was out of the picture, this is what I would do. The easiest way would be to start attending church and then let it be known that I do lawn service. Usually church people want to be charitable and help out a fellow churchgoer. Since I do good work, word would get around and more people might want my services. Or find an over 55 community with single family homes with yards and go around and put flyers or business cards on doors. I'm the sort of person that older folks would find non-threatening. Just a couple ideas. Of course I'd need the pro equipment to be able to do it. ;)
Well it rained today. Not too much, but enough to cool things down a bit. I prefer it cloudy and a little rainy during the summer or else it's just too damn hot.
I'd have to get some sort of job and then save up the money. This would only be possible if QoH was not in the picture. :/
my sister's bought a dog.
Is it a puppy or an adult dog? Puppies are cute but a damn mess. They piss and shit everywhere until they're housebroken and they also chew up all your furniture and anything else they can wrap their mouths around. And pets in general keep your house dirty and stinky even if you bathe them regularly.
I never want pets again. The whole fiasco with QoH and her idiot ex-bf having 6 large dogs in the house has forever cured me of wanting pets. The expense alone really chaps my ass just thinking about it. All money wasted. Never again! >:(
And pets in general keep your house dirty and stinky even if you bathe them regularly.
I think it depends. I do always notice the smell of a dog in a house. Then again, every house has it's own smell which is not always pleasant anyway.
All money wasted.
Well, I don't know. People do seem to get someting out of a pet's compagnionship. The only reason I'll probably never own a dog is that you have to collect their poo when you walk them. Blegh!
Maybe I'll get a robodog or robocat someday. No poo. :)
every house has it's own smell which is not always pleasant anyway.
That's for sure. I'm very sensitive to smells and I always notice that whenever I'm in someone's house.
Maybe I'll get a robodog or robocat someday. No poo. :)
Try cleaning up after 6 big dogs. I imagine it was similar to cleaning up after elephants. D:
I like the concept that the Japanese have where they have places that you can go to to spend time and pet cats. They have it layer out like a cozy house with comfy couches and many cats and you pay money to go there for an hour or two and just hang out and play with the cats. It's great for peeps who either can't own one or don't want the responsibility. :)
I suppose going to a local animal shelter would be similar (and free ;P) except the animals are locked up and there are no comfy couches to sit on. :/
I always notice that whenever I'm in someone's house.
Yeah, any time someone opens the door to you and there's this warm air that is thick with the smell of that family. Also, the smell stays with you for a while. Whenever I've visited my sister's family their smell hangs on to my clothes. I can also smell when someone has visited our house.
I imagine it was similar to cleaning up after elephants.
Worse probably. Dog poo smells worse than elephant poo, I think.
they have places that you can go to to spend time and pet cats.
They also have a place where you can pet foxes.
So, an aunt of mine has been hospitalized because she has a bowel obstruction. Apprently she should have gone to the doctor much sooner but she doesn't like to go to any doctor. Some people are just to stubborn for their own good. I guess she'll be okay now.
Whenever I've visited my sister's family their smell hangs on to my clothes.
The worst is when you're at someone's house and they smoke and then the smoke smell is in your hair and clothes when you get home. It was especially bad at my sister's apartment and at CB's place, so bad that I had to change clothes and take a shower and wash my hair. I'm very sensitive to smells and I cannot tolerate funky smells hitching a ride home on my clothes. :/
 I can also smell when someone has visited our house.
Same here. I could always detect my sister's distinct scent whenever she came over.
Worse probably. Dog poo smells worse than elephant poo, I think.
This is true. Elephants only eat plants which smell less horrible when shit out than what dogs eat.
she doesn't like to go to any doctor. Some people are just to stubborn for their own good.
Sounds like QoH. She started a fight with me a few weeks ago over what I was going to do when she dies. She didn't want me to call the police. Erm, if she dies in the house I kinda have to call them. WTF does she think I'm supposed to do, let her lay there and rot? I'm not going to jail because she has crazy expectations. If she's dead, she can't control what I do. :)
She started a fight with me a few weeks ago over what I was going to do when she dies.
Hm, I wonder what triggered that?
If she doesn't want you to call the police then who does she want you to call?
WTF does she think I'm supposed to do,
Well, you could put her in a chair in the basement, maybe tie her hair neatly into a knot. Then you could put on a wig and a dress and stab people in the shower. ;P
If she doesn't want you to call the police then who does she want you to call?
I have no idea. My only option is to call 911. Let them figure out who to send.
Anyhoo, I cooked about 20 burgers and some hotdogs yesterday for 4th of July. Maybe I'll get more than one burger this time. I cooked 9 burgers and couple weeks ago and QoH ate 8 of them. She's so self centered. It's like dealing with a small ill-manered child in a 75 y/o body. >:(
Can't you keep some burgers separate from the rest and eat those?
It's like dealing with a small ill-manered child in a 75 y/o body.
She's 75? Or does she just look like she's 75? Anyway, just send her to her room if she misbehaves. Or cry, that usually impresses children quite a lot. :)
Can't you keep some burgers separate from the rest and eat those?
I could, but QoH is always whining about 'I don't have anything to eeeeeat' and I'm tired of being her short order cook. If she eats 90% of the burgers, so be it as long as I don't have to cook something else for at least a few days. That's why I made the hotdogs so I could have something to eat. She has suddenly decided that she can no longer eat hotdogs because of "nitrates" and they're "poisoned".
This is something she does. She's gung-ho on a particular food-- I *had* to buy all these damn hotdogs because they were on sale and 'soon the government won't allow us to have food', and now she decides they're poison and can't eat them. :massive face palm:
This is her pattern with not only food but with people also. It's a common Borderline Personality Disorder trait of "splitting" where first someone is all good and then for some trivial reason they then become all bad. Also known as "idealization and discarding". QoH seems to do this with food and other inanimate items and not just people. It's completely frustrating. I think I need to start a thread about this on the PD forum and see if anyone else deals with splitting IRT food. >:(
She's 75?
Officially she turns 75 at the end of July.
Or cry
Crying in front of her only invites ridicule and vicious name-calling, mocking, and disdain. I would never cry in front of her.
Yep, although I'm kinda getting tired of eating hotdogs. :/
So what will she eat instead?
She seems to be able to eat hamburgers without the bun and canned salmon with raw pressed garlic on top and Caesar salad.
QoH is a Leo then? :)
Yep, a bossy pain in the ass just like most Leos. :/
I guess if she makes you cry then that would indigate that she made a serious mistake and she's not the type of person that can handle that.
QoH doesn't think like that. She never sees herself as the cause or accepts blame or feels remorse for hurting a person. Instead, if you cry, she sees you as flawed and the crying is proof that you have, according to her, "mental problems" that you caused yourself and have nothing to do with her behavior and how she treats you. >:(
I wouldn't say my father is a bossy pain in the ass. He can be a pain in the ass, just not a bossy one. :)
She never sees herself as the cause or accepts blame or feels remorse for hurting a person.
Well, yeah, because she can't handle thinking of herself as resposible for bad things. Her feelings of guilt and her fear of punishment are so strong that she immediately discards the possibility of being responsible.
if you cry, she sees you as flawed ...
So I guess this means she never cries herself? Not that I've seen a lot of adults cry.
Crying means you have mental problems to her? That's quite the mindfuck.
He can be a pain in the ass, just not a bossy one. :)
That's unusual for a Leo. ;P
Her feelings of guilt and her fear of punishment are so strong that she immediately discards the possibility of being responsible.
I don't think she feels guilt because PDs like her feel entitled to abuse whenever they don't get their way especially if they are in a position of authority (eg parent over child or husband over wife). They feel like they are the ruler and can do whatever they want without question.
So I guess this means she never cries herself?
Very, very rarely. And usually only when she's feeling sorry for herself, which is something she is always accusing me of doing whenever I'm minding my own business and quietly watching TV by myself. :rolls eyes:
Crying means you have mental problems to her? That's quite the mindfuck.
Yep. Typical PD "logic".
Well, today is the 4th of July and the peeps around here have been shooting off fireworks for almost two weeks in anticipation of today. They can't even wait until it's dark. I'm sure it'll continue to go on for another week or two. :/
I'm sure it'll continue to go on for another week or two.
Hey, as long as it's just fireworks and not gun shots. ;P
In other news, do you remember me telling you about that aunt who was hospitalized because of a bowel obstruction? Well, they cleaned her out but that didn't get rid of the obstruction. She would have needed an operation for that but she absolutely didn't want one. So they send her home. They did organize some home assistance for her but when those people arrived at her home this morning she didn't open the door. They called another aunt of mine who is their contact person and that aunt asked my father to go have a look (since my sick aunt lives just around the corner and contact-person-aunt was somewhere else engaged at that moment). My father does have the key to my sick aunt's house but my aunt had left her own key stuck in the door on the inside. So, eventually the police was called and they managed to enter the house. Turns out, my aunt had tried to kill herself by slashing her wrists but had failed. AFAIK she's being treated by her doctor ATM.
Wow, how old is this aunt? The refusing to open the door and refusing medical treatment sounds like things QoH would do. Crazy. Sometimes I wonder how crazy QoH's behavior will get when she's having one of her episodes. So are they going to send your aunt for a psych evaluation after they patch her up?
A couple of years older than my parents, in her seventies.
So are they going to send your aunt for a psych evaluation after they patch her up?
We're getting very little info ATM. I guess there's a psych eval going on or something. She doesn't get a lot of time on her own ATM, I know that. TBH when I went though a depressive period I didn't want to see a lot of people, partly out of shame. Maybe my sister will give us an update soon, she spend more time with my aunts than I do (I do not spend any time with them).
BTW, I went to the gastroscopy people today. Just for an intake session, the actual procedure is planned a couple of weeks from now. I went okay. My father drove me, it was a day out. :)
Well, good luck with the procedure when you have it. At least it's not the up-the-bum kind. ;)
Anyway, QoH wants to go pay a bill and maybe go to the bank, so waiting, waiting, waiting... :/
I hope she hurries up. I'd like to get back in time to maybe mow the nabe's lawn. It's getting high. Of course I'd have to call and ask if she wants it done. ;P
Well, I wouldn't do it without asking her first. :)
The weather is heating up again over here. We even had a thunderstorm yesterday. Apparently lightning struck in a few places in town and started some fires.
Also, I went to see my sisters new dog yesterday. It quite a nice little doggy, not too energetic, quite polite actually. It gave me a friendly lick on the hand as a greeting. :)
It's very hot here. I wouldn't mind some clouds and a bit of rain to cool things off.
It quite a nice little doggy, not too energetic, quite polite actually.
That's good. :) I hate going to people's homes where they have rowdy ill-manered dogs. Usually toy breeds are the worst, especially chihuahuas. I can't stand chihuahuas.
IDK if QoH wants to go to the store today. I kinda hope not. It's too damn hot today. :/
Well, we went shopping and as I was loading the stuff from the last store into QoH's vehicle, she decides she wants another item and I had to go back. The first time I was in there, I managed to beat the after work rush and didn't have to wait in line forever at the checkout. This time there was like 20 people in each line with heaps of crap in their carts. I tried to pay at the optical but the guy said he couldn't take cash (probably a lie). There was only like 2 people at the "customer service" desk, so I went there. I stood in line almost 25 minutes because that asshole was moving so slowly. I would have been out sooner if I went to a regular cashier, at least they were moving. >:(
When I get back to QoH, she decides to start flipping out because someone parked next to her and behind her and now she "can't get out". More like she can't fucking drive. Then she starts getting abusive with me. I told her I wasn't going to sit there and be abused, I would walk home. Each time I tried to get out she'd speed up so I couldn't get out, the whole time spewing abuse. So I pulled out my phone to record her. That really sets her off into irrational mode. She slapped at my leg trying to grab my phone and when that didn't work she grabbed the umbrella and tried to spear me with it. At that point I jumped out and got away. Then I had to call my dad to come pick me up and take me home.
Well, almost instant karma for QoH. When I got home, she claimed someone smashed into the side of her truck when she was driving by the Dairy Queen shop. Her truck had zero damage, so I doubt the validity of that. She has a habit of exaggerating things. She was upset and discombobulated a bit. And then was all flustered because she had to unload all the groceries by herself. Poor baby, I play the tiniest violin for you. No apology or mention of kicking me out of the truck, she just acted like nothing had happened. She's a real fucking mental case. >:(
One of those with a metal spike at the end? Those can hurt. :/
Yep.
Did you manage to record anything?
No, my phone's apps got rearranged after an update, so she noticed I had the phone out when I was trying to find the app. That's when she grabbed the umbrella.
Technically she didn't kick you out, you jumped out.
Trying to spear me with an umbrella and screaming at me to get out says otherwise. I guess I forgot to say that in my other comment. IIRC she also said I could call my father or walk, and then peeled out with me halfway out and the door still open. I managed to somewhat slam it, but the seat belt was hanging out so I guess she drove home like that. :/
So how are you doing ATM? Are you both pretending nothing happened? Has your father offered any comments? Do you think QoH is getting worse in her behavior?
She certainly has been from the moment my dad dropped me off. All she wants to talk about is her wild conspiracy theories/version of events that happened while we were out shopping. She's effing mental for real.
Has your father offered any comments?
He thinks the answer is to move into the house he bought next door to his and then everything will magically be wonderful. The real reason he wants me to do that is he thinks he can coerce me into putting my name on as co-owner so I can claim homestead exemption which is a property tax discount.Â
If both my parents were "normal", that wouldn't be a terrible thing, but they're both nuts. I'd just be bringing a cornucopia of problems down on my head. I prefer the devil I know at this point. My dad has such magical thinking. He thought that after he brought me home, the next day he'd rent a moving van and he'd come over and I'd move out. Like it would happen as simple as that and that easy. QoH is crazy enough. If I tried to move out she'd pull her bullshit just like last time and try to physically prevent me from getting my stuff. Then the police would be called, and they'd side with her and not allow me to take my computer or anything besides my clothes and tell me I have to provide receipts to prove that the other items were really mine and that I purchased them. Like people keep receipts for years and years. I'm not going through all that bullshit again. No way. Moving is an ordeal under the best of circumstances, no way I'm going to attempt that with 2 PD parents involved. :/
Do you think QoH is getting worse in her behavior?
Yes, she's getting more and more paranoid with her assumptions and conspiracy theories and she seems like she's having psychotic episodes when she flips out like she does. Unfortunately, she stopped going to the doctor about 4 years ago and there's no way to force her. The authorities would only get involved if she tried to commit suicide or something and she's certainly not suicidal.
I guess you're just going to have to sit tight now. You can't really do much. Maybe try to find as much distraction as you can. Try to stay healthy. Get enough sleep.
No. It's not like any of them are going to say anything that I don't already know.
Anyway, I've been following a blog from a lady that someone had linked to at the PD forum. She had written a while back about medical marijuana and its benefits/relieving various ailments. So apparently there is a compound called CBD that is found in hemp oil and doesn't require a prescription because it doesn't come from the marijuana plant and doesn't get you high, but can be used for anxiety, diabetes, arthritis, etc. I was wondering if it would help QoH be less of a psycho.
She has always been strongly anti-marijuana because she thinks people only use it to get high, but recently they had a program on RT (Russia Today channel) talking about its benefits. When they said it could relieve the pain from arthritis and joint pain, she suddenly wasn't so against it. BTW, this RT channel does a lot of fear mongering and QoH just eats that shit up. It feeds her confirmation biases.
So now that she isn't so against the idea because it might benefit *her*, I was thinking I might buy some to give to her. ;P If it calms her ass down and makes her less anxious, it might also help with her PD which would HUGELY benefit me. She would never take a prescription anti-anxiety med or mood stabilizer because "all the prescription drugs are poison and designed to kill you", but she might take something that was an all natural organically grown herbal extract. I think it's worth a try. ;D
I'm aware of RT. They became quite well-known after Russia invaded Crimea. They are thought to be sponsored by the Russian Government.
I think it's worth a try. ;D
You Big Smile icon suggests that you are only kidding. In case you're not, I would advise talking to a medical doctor before trying any psycho-active substances.
BTW, I read that Nevada is actually running out of MJ. :D
I would advise talking to a medical doctor before trying any psycho-active substances.
The hemp oil is an over the counter non-prescription herbal supplement. Most people take it as an anti-inflammatory. If it has an anti-anxiety side effect that would be a bonus. I did some research and found that the THC from the cannabis sativa variety can make people *more* paranoid, so I definitely don't want that, but industrial hemp doesn't have the negatively mind altering chemicals.
In other news, Sunday night (well technically 3am Monday morning) QoH heard a loud truck engine outside her bedroom window. She said it was a fire truck with its emergency lights on. She said it was parked in front of the nabe's house. So when I got up Monday she wanted me to call over there to see if everything was okay with their grandma (she is 91).
Nabe was unaware that there was a firetruck. So she called and left a message later that evening saying that it was for the other nabe next door. He had had heart surgery recently and was really sick and they had to take him to the hospital. Anyway today when I went over to mow the lawn, other nabe approached me and told me that her husband died last night at the hospital at 9:40pm.
QoH has been acting like a total dick over it. She had always been intensely envious because that particular nabe used to work as a teacher for like 30 years and she had a high salary and has full benefits from the govt. So QoH has zero empathy and sarcastically said 'well she has plenty of money to pay for his funeral'. Then she said she's not going to the funeral if they have one and she's not sending flowers. I didn't plan on doing either of those things, either, since we aren't really that friendly with them, but the way QoH says it just oozes with hatred and envy. It's really disgusting to have to listen to her negativity. :/
How would you get her to ingest the CBD though? Will she do it voluntarily?
Since she saw the documentary on RT, she'd probably take it if she thought it would help with her arthritis/joint pain/inflammation.
What? What does she care about that?
She's just nosy. She'd gloat over the fact that the 2 grandkids would no longer be riding the gravy train. The grandma's husband also used to be a teacher. He died over 40 years ago, but they had all sorts of very cheap government insurance through the teachers' union, so their mortgage got paid off by the insurance when he died. QoH has always been very envious over that fact. And the grandma never remarried so she has had the same super-cheap insurance for their cars as well. The two grandkids have never had to work or pay rent ever since they lived there. Only the grandson got a job at few years ago so he could have money to go out and do things independently. If their grandma died, they wouldn't have her social security money any more to pay for everything and would have to work to pay for everything. Of course, being the welfare Queens that they are, the granddaughter told me before that she'd 'just sign up for SSI' if something happened to her grandma. SSI is supposed to be for disabled people, not lazy people, but people claim to be bipolar to get it.
So it wasn't a fire truck then but an ambulance?
I'm assuming it was the fire rescue vehicle. It's bigger than a regular ambulance.
Well fuck me running. I was researching/trying to find the proper names of the various weeds in my yard, and I had a hunch about Bidens Alba. I wondered if it was medicinal and looked it up. Turns out it's antibacterial, antimicrobial, *anti inflammatory*, and helps people with non insulin dependant diabetes. We have shit-tons of them in the yard. The flowers and leaves are edible raw. The whole plant can be used in various ways. I went out back to sample some. The flowers weren't too bad but the leaves were kinda astringent tasting. The leaves can be chewed a bit and used as a poultice on insect bites and wounds. I tried some on the spot where the wasp stung me since it's still itchy after all this time and it stopped it from itching to my shock. I wonder what QoH's response will be when I tell her about it. ;D
They claim to be bipolar. I doubt very seriously that they are. IMO the granddaughter definitely is not. She's just enmeshed and very sheltered and has very little life experience in spite of being in her early 30's. Unfortunately, there are a lot of SJW type doctors out there who will falsely diagnose someone as bipolar in a misguided effort to "help" them. What they are actually doing is helping them commit fraud by illegally obtaining SSI benefits. Claiming bipolar is one of the most rampant SSI false claims.
Are you opening up to new experiences or something?
I'm not looking to get high. I've always been interested in natural herbal remedies and medicinal plants.
Do please be careful when eating wild plants.
It's not like I'm gonna go out back and graze like a cow. ;P
Well, went grocery shopping today. It was mostly uneventful and QoH wasn't out of control with her temper and didn't try to spear me with an umbrella. ;)
When I was in Sam's, there was not a line at the snack bar for probably the first time ever and I was able to buy a big-ass frozen yogurt for $1. It was really yummy. :) And best of all, QoH has no idea. ;D
Other than that it is very hot today. Nothing much to report. Andrea KGB Lee was supposed to fight tonight but her opponent had immigration issues so the fight was cancelled. Booooo!!! I'm still going to watch the other fights.
Yep. QoH has always acted like such a petty little child. If you buy some sort of food while you're out, even if she isn't there, she wants you to buy some for her, too. If you don't, then she'll call you self centered and "you never think of anyone else". It's easier to just not say anything than deal with her pitching a fit. And because she "can't have ice cream/frozen yogurt" because she's "diabetic" she'd throw even more of a fit. Did I tell you that about a month or so ago she announced to me that I'm "not allowed to fix any food that she isn't allowed to eat". How fucked up is that? Normal people with dietary restrictions don't get pissed off at people who don't have restrictions and forbid them from eating certain foods. >:(
So you're pro-immigration then? :)
No, I'm pro-watching-Andrea-KGB-Lee-whoop-ass. ;D
Well, the other fights were kinda boring. At least Bellator was on another channel. I usually don't care for that promotiin, but last night some of the fights were okay.
Anyway, I hope that the next time I go to Sam's that there isn't a line at the snack bar. That frozen yogurt was really good. And that large size would likely cost $5 or $6 at a regular shop. :)
So get this: nabe across the street aka The Feckless Wonder managed to back their other car into their next-door neighbors' fence and destroyed it. The idiot wrecked their other car by driving into something. SMDH Fences stand no chance in this neighborhood with all the idiot drivers. >:(
Did she really forbid you to do that? What does "to fix any food" mean exactly? Does it mean to make food or to eat food?
The Feckless Wonder managed to back their other car into their next-door neighbors' fence and destroyed it.
Was the neighbor at home at the time? Was there a confrontation?
In other news, tomorrow at 08:50 Dutch Time will be the deepthroating of arekino by a (hopefully) competent doctor, not in a sexual way (again, hopefully ;P ). I'll have to get up at 06:15 to be able to confortably prepare myself for a trip to the hospital. I can't eat anything after 12 o'clock and I can't drink anything 2 hours before the procedure which will take about 5 minutes. Ah, such adventure! ;P
Yep, she really did say that. I was equally shocked and amused at the craziness of saying such a thing.
What does "to fix any food" mean exactly?
LOL That's a Southern expression that means 'to prepare'. ;)
Was the neighbor at home at the time? Was there a confrontation?
The fence belongs to some African people. They have at least 10 people living in that house and someone is always home. They are very quiet, though, and keep to themselves. I'm not sure if they are aware that their fence has been destroyed or who did it.
deepthroating of arekino by a (hopefully) competent doctor, not in a sexual way (again, hopefully ;P )
Maybe it will be a lady doctor with big boobs which she'll press up against you. ;P
All kidding aside, good luck and I hope everything goes well. :)
I am watching some UFC MMA live from Glasgow ATM, on early due to the time difference. If it doesn't go too late I hope I'll be able to mow my own yard today. It's too hot ATM but it shouldn't be too bad after 6pm.
Maybe it will be a lady doctor with big boobs which she'll press up against you.
Nope, it was a make doctor. A friendly one though. He did not press up against me. ;P
I hope everything goes well.
I did go well. It was not pleasant but also not extraordinarily unpleasant. So far the results are that the "doorway" from my esophagus to my stomach is slightly larger than it's supposed to be. I'm not sure if that's curable.
That's good. Sometimes doctors can get uncomfortably close when they're examining you.
I did go well.
That's good. So do you have something like GERD? I think the nabe started having that in her 20's mainly due to their poor diet and eating McDonald's all the time. Is your problem a structural defect or is it maybe something to do with your diabetes?
Anyhoo, I didn't get to see the main card of the MMA since QoH decided that she had to go back to Sam's RIGHT NOW because she forgot to buy 2 items that were on sale and Sunday was the last day of the sale.
Just as well. Most of the fights were boring and they didn't show the Leslie Smith fight which was one I wanted to see. And Joanne Calderwood lost, so :/ .
So whatever the issue is isn't too severe? Just an annoyance then? Is there something they can do to treat it?
I guess you saved some money then?
About 10 bucks. The gas here has been as cheap as it's been in 10 years. The last time we bought gas it was $2.01/gallon. Thank you, Trump! :)
(I have no idea who Joanne Calderwood but you have my sympathies :) )
She's a Scottish woman who fights in the 115 pound division. She is primarily a Muay Thai fighter. They replayed the fights a couple times so I eventually did get to see it. It was a fairly even fight IMO and went to a judges' decision. I think the other girl did just slightly more to win, so it was a fair decision. It wasn't like she got her ass kicked, it was just disappointing that she lost in front of her home town. It wasn't a good night for the Scottish fighters. Most of them lost.
In other news I made a big delicious meat loaf last night. It was one of my best so far. Too bad you aren't here to try some. :)
So far the only advise given is to take an Omeprazole capsule before breakfast.
QoH's doc gave her that before. Of course she never took any. She'd rather complain. :/
That's like a large bread-shaped meatball, right?
Sorta. They're usually shaped like an oblong loaf. Mine was big enough to fit in a 14" x 20" pan and I only made it about 2 or 2.5 inches tall.
I used finely chopped onion, celery, and carrot, bread crumbs, parsley, rosemary, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sause, a little tomato sauce, milk, and about 4 pounds ground beef and mixed it all together and shaped it in the pan. Then topped it with a glaze made from ketchup, dijon mustard, and brown sugar. Baked in 425 degree oven for 50 minutes. Very delicious. :)
Have you ever tried making one filled with chopped ham and cheese?
Nope. I've had croquettes filled with ham and cheese. Never made any, though. ;)
245 Comments:
here is a picture of a cthulhu pie!
That is definitely a Cthulhu pie. Why would you bake one though? Do you wish to bring about the end of the world? ;P
Maybe Cthulhu could bring about the end of QoH. ;D
Speaking of, the effing bitch caused me to miss almost the entire first hour of Deadpool because she just will. not. leave. me. the fuck. alone. There was free HBO and Cinemax for the weekend, although I did not discover it until last night, and had several movies that I wanted to see. I had planned on doing a little yard work outside and then coming in to watch Deadpool, but anything I plan is doomed to be ruined by QoH. As soon as I came in she started with her damn monologue and wouldn't shut the fuck up for almost an hour. I'm so pissed off right now! ��
wouldn't shut the fuck up for almost an hour.
That's a shame. I hate to make you envious but I had half of today completely to myself as my parents had gone to the birthparty of an aunt of mine. The silence in the house was easpecially soothing knowing that I was entirely alone here. Even when I'm alone in my room in the attic I don't feel that relaxed. So great.
BTW did QoH not notice Deadpool's masturbation scene with the unicorn and the sex scene where his girlfriend is pegging him with a strap-on? ;P
Yeah, that *is* very enviable. I miss the days when QoH and her ex-bf would go out shopping and leave me at home by myself. So peaceful. :)
Even when I'm alone in my room in the attic I don't feel that relaxed.
I know what you mean. Even when QoH goes outside to water the plants for an hour or so, I still can't fully relax because I'm anticipating her inevitable return and the nastiness she brings.
did QoH not notice...
No, because I switched the channel to something else. I figured I'd just miss the first 10 or 15 minutes because she was droning on for that long and then left. I switched back and saw the sex scene which you speak of, then she came back to monologue some more. Whenever I want to watch a movie like that I have to do it in secret. She hates almost all movies and would consider a superhero genre movie to be stupid. If she caught me watching it, she'd berate me with, "How can you stand to watch this stupid shit?" etc. She'd *really* lay into me if she saw a sex scene. Then she'd accuse me of watching "disgusting, perverted, pornographic, sick, etc" shit. It's easier to flip to something boring like a cable news channel and avoid the verbal beating.
I guess I missed the unicorn scene unless you're talking about the cartoon when the credits were rolling. I did see that. ;P
I hope it comes on one of the movie channels I *do* get. What I did get to see was enjoyable.
I also watched a movie called Wanted with James McAvoy, Angelina Jolie, and Morgan Freeman, Huntsman: Winter's War, and The Revenant which was entirely too long and overrated IMO. The other 2 were entertaining at least. :)
Wanted with James McAvoy
Is that the movie with the shooting bullets round the corner trick?
My parents were gone for a few hours again today. They went to an event where an uncle of mine was given a "lintje", a kind of medal, for things he did for people. People are given these "lintjes" right before Kingsday, which is tomorrow.
Also, 2 of my nephews visited. We talked about videogames and one of them invited me to come over and play Dark Souls 3 with him friday. I guess I had better start practising. :)
the shooting bullets around the corner trick
Yep. That's the one.
Man, how are you getting so lucky with having your parents out of the house? QoH is driving me so insane with her endless bitching, complaining, cursing, and venom spewing that I'm nearly at my wits end. I just nearly got into an actual fight with her not 5 minutes ago because she's been relentlessly verbally abusive to me all day, calling me names like dumbass, dumb shit, stupid bitch, etc and she just called me stupid again while I had my hands in the dishwater so I flicked it in her face. ;D She didn't like that and tried to grab ahold of me. I started to run to my room and she called me a chicken shit for running away and being afraid. I told her I just don't want to go to jail if I beat her ass. She really does need the shit kicked out of her, but I'll only do that in self defense.
She's a master at playing the victim and manipulating people into believing her lies, so if I got into a fight with her I have no doubt I'd be the one sitting in jail for defending myself. She'd pull the sickly old lady card and tell them I physically and emotionally abuse *her* every day when it's actually her who does all the abusing. >:(
So what do you lot do on Kingsday? Is there a parade or fireworks or something?
calling me names like dumbass, dumb shit, stupid bitch,
How odd. You're actually none of those things. Hm. Curious. ;P
so if I got into a fight with her I have no doubt I'd be the one sitting in jail for defending myself.
I guess you should just give her a virtual beating. It's why we have an imagination. ;P
How is your imagination BTW? Have you had some interesting/strange dreams lately?
So what do you lot do on Kingsday?
I doubt that it's my lot that does things on Kingsday. I stayed inside all day.
At Kingsday people can sell stuff in the local park. You can buy orange tompouces (and apparently there is a multitude of ways to eat those) from the local baker, drink orange liqueur.
You're actually none of those things.
Yeah, I know. It's just verbal abuse and gaslighting.
interesting/strange dreams lately?
Nope, none that I remember anyway. What about you? ;P
orange liqueur
Mmm, yummy! Have you ever tried Sabra? It's an Israeli chocolate and orange liqueur. Soooo yummy.
What about you?
Nah, nothing.
It's an Israeli chocolate and orange liqueur. Soooo yummy.
It's 30% alcohol. I bet it's yummy! :)
You could wash your hands with it and perform an operation. ;P
When and where did you drink that stuff?
When and where did you drink that stuff?
I think the first time I ever had it was at a Jewish wedding in Boca. I've only ever had it at Jewish parties. I looked it up to see if I had the spelling correct and I learned that it's made with kumquats. :)
Well, not much happening here today. Probably going grocery shopping later and then be home to watch some muay thai tonight. :)
Forgot to mention, at 30% alcohol it *is* pretty high octane. ;P
Well, we didn't go grocery shopping today. Only went to the nearest Winn Dixie to pick up a sale ad and buy bagels, but they didn't have any bagels. Such a shitty store. I figured QoH would go Saturday then, but apparently she saw something on the news to get her scared. Something about these idiots protesting so she gets all scared. I told her I doubted they'd be at Penn Dutch, but apparently I'm an idiot and they're lying in wait to attack me there. :rolls eyes: So I have no idea when we'll be going.
In other news, legend has it that my Irish ancestors are decended from the legendary Queen Maeve. So I'm obviously genetically predisposed to be a warrior queen. ;D ;P Or something. Or not. ;P I guess it also why I like mountains but want to be near the ocean, too. Just like County Kerry. It's all genetic I tell ya! ;P
Something about these idiots protesting
Protesting against Winn Dixie?
they're lying in wait to attack me there.
So they're protesting against grocery stores in general?
I'm obviously genetically predisposed to be a warrior queen.
Okay...
I guess it also why I like mountains but want to be near the ocean, too.
Sure...
Just like County Kerry. It's all genetic I tell ya!
Where is all this coming from?
So they're protesting against grocery stores...
Nah, just the local leftists getting an early start for May Day. I told her they'd likely be doing that downtown, a good 20 miles from where we'd be, but paranoia trumps reason with her.
Where is all this coming from?
I'm just being silly. I had looked up Queen Mab and Queen Maeve to see if there is a difference other than spelling. One is Queen of the Fairies and the other was an ancient Irish Queen. The decedents of one of her sons are supposed to be the people of County Kerry where one of my ancestors is from. Makes a good origin story if I was a character in a comic. ;P
just the local leftists getting an early start for May Day.
Have there been any incidents?
Makes a good origin story if I was a character in a comic.
What kind of comic would that be then? And what would your character be like?
Have there been any incidents?
None that I'm aware of. Not in SFla anyway. There are lots of incidents in California, especially Berkeley, but those are mostly paid antifa idiots.
What kind of comic would it be then?
Probably a sci-fi, adventure, ancient-medieval historical, comedy drama. ;P
And what would your character be like?
Mostly like myself IRL I suppose. So sassy, smart, and super awesome. And who knows her way around a sword. ;P
So are you up to anything interesting?
None that I'm aware of.
Does the first of May have any significance to you personally?
And who knows her way around a sword.
Have you actually trained with a sword?
Does the first of May have any significance to you personally?
Nope. And it was never something celebrated in the US, only the most far left commie types cared about it. Only in the past 10 years or so have the leftists gotten a stronghold in the universities and indoctrinated the young people into thinking communism is something wonderful.
BTW, there's allegedly a couple marches today in downtown Miami and Ft Lauderdale. Not huge, maybe 100 people at most, and organized by some labor union, probably SEIU, which are a bunch of hypocrites. They claim to be for the workers, just not if you're an American citizen, since they mostly hire illegals and H1B visa holders so they can keep the wages low and not have to pay social security and Medicare taxes if they were citizens.
Have you actually trained with a sword?
Yep, when I took kung-fu. :)
Well, the name called this morning to ask if I could mow their lawn. I just finished a while ago. Took a little longer than I would have liked because I had to edge and I broke the spool holder on my weed whacker. Luckily, I had an extra one to replace it. Then the extension cord kept getting pulled out of the outlet. And it was really hot so I had to come back to my house to take a break and drink water. At least I got paid immediately after. :)
^nabe, not name
they mostly hire illegals and H1B visa holders
They're giving away jobs? How can companies accept that?
when I took kung-fu.
Any particular sword technique? Are there different schools of thought WRT swords in kung-fu?
How can companies accept that?
Because it costs them less money to hire an H1B visa holder. Companies don't have to pay social security or Medicare taxes on them, and usually they pay them less money than they would to an American. It's all about the bottom line.
Any particular sword technique?
I first learned on broadsword. That's mostly slashing techniques since a broadsword is like a machete. Straight swords use thrusting techniques. Both have some things in common like strike zones and parrying and whatnot.
Are there different schools of thought...
Most likely. I didn't take classes long enough to learn about them, though.
Hey, have you ever seen the TV show Forged In Fire? It's a competition between blacksmiths/bladesmiths where they have to make a certain style blade in an allotted time. The top 2 then go back to their home forge where they have 5 days to make a certain kind of blade. It's pretty cool IMO. And it's on tonight and I'll be watching it. ;D
It's all about the bottom line.
Ah, the blessings of the free market. ;P
I first learned on broadsword.
Is that your favorite type of sword?
have you ever seen the TV show Forged In Fire?
I think I saw a small part of it. They had to make a knife out of a gun in that episode. It seemed a bit silly to me at the time.
Is that your favorite type of sword?
Nah, I'm partial to my hand-and-a-half sword. It's a straight double edged sword. I like kukris, too, but those are more of a big knife.
It seemed a bit silly...
I must've missed that one. Usually they have to make a knife out of some sort of scrap metal. Last night they had to use some barbed wire and melt it into their block of metal, then forget a blade.
forge, not forget. Stupid autocorrect. >:(
Well, it's The Day Of The Remembrance Of The Dead here, the 4th of May. We're supposed to remember the people who died during WW2. There's even a nationwide minute of silence, I think around 20:00 h.
Tomorrow, the 5th of May, is Liberation Day. The offical date of the end of WW2. It's a day off for most people. A nice long weekend, this year.
If I'm correct then it's your birthday in 2 days? Will there be some kind of celebration?
May the forth is the day where the stupid Stars Wars memes are flying around fast and furious on fb over here. Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo which was an obscure holiday in Mexico, but Corona beer started using it in their advertising years ago to the US market and now some people here get all excited for it. They don't even know what they're celebrating. Go drink some shitty weak ass Corona! I don't celebrate obscure Mexican holidays.
Liberation Day is a legit holiday which should be mentioned here since we had a part in that. ;)
My b-day is on Sunday. That's another legit holiday. ;P I won't be doing anything, though. If we go to Penn Dutch tomorrow, I'm owed a coupon to get a hot dog and soda for my b-day from their snack bar. I guess I'll also be counting how many fb friends wish me happy b-day. Probably less than last time since it falls on a Sunday and people aren't at work playing on fb. ;P
And Ma Nature showed up yesterday to torment me before my b-day. Luckily she should be gone before Sunday.
Also I was unceremoniously awakened by cramps a few minutes before 10am. It was slightly fortunate since Lana Parrilla was doing an interview on the Kelly and Ryan show at that time and I wanted to see it. Had to wait 40 minutes for her to come on for a 5 minute interview. :/ Those morning shows are so stupid. Next time I'll just look for the interview on YouTube instead of wasting my time.
BTW, today when I checked in at the PD forum I learned that one of the members that I joke around with has her b-day the day before mine, so I gave her a funny post. I hope to hear back. I'm assuming she lives somewhere in Europe, so time difference and all.
I'm owed a coupon to get a hot dog and soda for my b-day from their snack bar.
That's nice. A b-day cake would have been nicer, I guess, but still. :)
I guess I'll also be counting how many fb friends wish me happy b-day.
Well, I hope you get lots of b-day wishes. :)
Ah, the weekend. Once more unto the breach, dear friend. :)
A b-day cake would have been nicer
I used to be signed up at Gino's Italian deli and they would email you a coupon for a mini b-day cake for your b-day, but I guess I didn't renew or they stopped doing that since I didn't get that email this time.
I have to go out shopping with QoH in a bit and then Penn Dutch tomorrow. I think there's a horse race tomorrow, too. I hope we're back to see it.
Oh, and the OUAT musical episode is on Sunday, so I guess I'll watch that for my b-day. :)
OUAT musical episode is on Sunday, so I guess I'll watch that for my b-day.
If only they sing the birthday song for you. :P
Ah well, it's a pretty good present anyway, I guess.
Well, I think this episode is the second to last one of the season. The last ep is 2 hours long IIRC. I don't think I'll be watching next season if there is one. It's just not very interesting to me any more.
ATM I'm watching The Lovely Bones. A very young Rose McIver is in it (she played Tinkerbell in OUAT). She looked normal sized as a young teen, then she got super skinny as an adult.
Well, I bought myself a 2 liter bottle of Cherry RC Cola as a treat yesterday. I didn't realize how much sugar and calories it had. I just had a glass full and I feel kinda sick. I bought a bag of sour gummy worms, too. :)
Happy Birthday, dear Xul! :)
Did you get my ecard? I sure hope so. :)
Did you get a lot of FB b-day wishes?
I bought myself a 2 liter bottle of Cherry RC Cola as a treat yesterday
What about the hotdog?
Did your horse win BTW? ;P
The last ep is 2 hours long IIRC
Whoa, that's a pretty long musical.
A very young Rose McIver is in it
She's from New Zealand apparently.
I bought a bag of sour gummy worms, too.
What are they like? Besides sour, I mean. ;P
Thank you, Arekino-san!
Did you get my ecard?
No, I didn't have anything in my inbox. :/ Did you send it to my xul gmail?
Did you get a lot of FB b-day wishes?
Nope, only 3 so far. Just as I expected. Peeps aren't at work and goofing around on FB. ;P
What about the hotdog?
I printed out the coupon at the kiosk and then went to the snack bar after I paid for my groceries. It was a pretty big hotdog! :O It came with a can of soda instead of a fountain soda. I got cherry Pepsi. I had wanted the cherry/vanilla Pepsi but I accidentally just said cherry and the guy grabbed it out of the cooler really quickly and then disappeared around the back. I didn't want to make a fuss as I've had the cherry/vanilla flavor before and the vanilla flavor is so subtle that you hardly notice it. Of course QoH questioned me about the hotdog. I told her they were passing out samples of food. (She didn't notice the can of soda.) Not a total lie, they *did* have some samples like the Hollandia beer which I got a glass of. ;D
I also bought some ground chicken to make home-made nuggets. I made some this morning out of a little of the chicken. I froze the rest of the raw chicken for later. I was surprised at how juicy the chicken was. Much better than store bought. :)
Did your horse win BTW? ;P
Nope. :/
that's a pretty long musical.
The musical is only an hour long episode. The season finale is 2.
What's are they like?
Like the gummy bears, except worm-shaped and they have a sour sugar coating on the outside.
Oh well, nothing exciting happening ATM. I guess I'll surf the web.
Did you send it to my xul gmail?
Oops, I guess not. I think it's the Yahoo one.
Hollandia beer
Ah, from the Bavaria brewery. A "Euro Pale Lager". 5% alcohol.
The musical is only an hour long episode.
And how was it?
PS. I've send another card to your gmail address. Should be in your inbox pretty soon. :)
Thank you for the card, Arekino-san knuffelbeer! ;P
from the Bavaria brewery
Yep, and it used to be the beer that I usually bought back when I was working and had money for beer. It's all really gone up in price the past few years. :/
And how was it?
Not too bad. QoH came and interrupted a couple times, so I'll have to go back and watch what I missed. That's why I record it. ;)
It was fun seeing who sang their own lines and who had to have a professional singer dub their singing. From what I could tell, Hook, Charming, and Regina (and possibly Granny) sang their own songs, while Emma, Snow, and Zelena lip-synced.
Arekino, have you ever heard of that butt hole shaped guest house near Antwerp? :O
That's why I record it. ;)
If only you could do that with real life. :D :| :/ :(
Oh well. ;P
to have a professional singer dub their singing.
That's just so sad. Don't they teach actors how to sing anymore?
have you ever heard of that butt hole shaped guest house near Antwerp?
I can honestly say that I have never heard nor have ever seen a house shaped like a GIANT ANUS. I had to look it up and it looks like an anus with a short end of bowels attached to it, in my view.
Why do yo ask? :)
Don't they teach actors how to sing anymore?
Apparently not. Colin O'Donoghue was the best of the lot. I guess Irish/UK actors get more well rounded training. Although Charming and Regina sang themselves, too. Lana Parrilla was quite proud of herself in the interview I saw. She doesn't have the best singing voice IMO, but at least she sang herself.
Why do you ask?
There was a link to it at Her Stoatliness' blog and since it's in your neck of the woods more or less, I was wondering if you ever heard of it. You'd think something like a giant ass hole would be a topic for conversation. LOL ;P
I can honestly say that I have never heard nor have I ever seen a house shaped like a GIANT ANUS.
Nows your chance for a road trip. ;P ;D
I suppose it's technically a giant poop chute. ;P
but at least she sang herself.
What did the fans and fanforums think about it? Did they like it or hate it?
Nows your chance for a road trip.
But it's in Belgium. That's aaaaaaallll the way across the border. ;P
The weather is getting really nice over here BTW. Just warm enough so I don't have to wear a sweater over my T-shirt.
What did the fans and fanforums think about it? Did they like it or hate it?
I haven't been on any fan forums in months. I only follow Lana Parrilla's fan page on fb. Naturally, all her fans loved it. :)
But it's in Belgium. That's aaaaaaallll the way across the border. ;P
So it's like a 30 minute drive then? ;P
Are the Belgians really so awful? Or Flemish that incomprehensible? ;P I thought they had the good chocolates down there, though? ;P
The weather is getting really nice over here BTW.
Kewl! It has been hot here but not very humid the past few days. The awful shit isn't too far away, though. :/
Are the Belgians really so awful?
Oh yeah, they're just terrible. Their fries are too thick (BTW USA style french fries are too thin). And yes, actual Flemish is incomprehensible. Their chocolates are okay, I guess. ;P
The awful shit isn't too far away, though.
I spoke too soon. We had another nice day today (I even took a little walk) but now there's this thunderstorm. *sigh*
My oldest nephew came round this afternoon. He said he'd seen a British movie called "A Monster Calls". I'd never heard of it but he said he liked it. I think I'll check it out.
Oh yeah, they're just terrible.
I've only met one person from Belgium and she was a massive bitch. I think she was Walloon, though, not Flemish.
Their fries are too thick (BTW USA style french fries are too thin).
I don't like thick fries. And I think you are probably thinking of McDonald's style fries when you say "USA style". Those are quite thin. It depends on where you go for fries over here. There's all sorts of thicknesses. ;)
And yes, actual Flemish is incomprehensible.
I bet. ;P
Soooo, in your opinion, who has the best chocolates? ;)
It is blazing hot here today. I'm glad I waited until after 6:30pm to mow yesterday. It wasn't too bad after the sun was almost set and the humidity was around 50%. I ran out of daylight, though, and didn't get to do the back yard. By the time I took out the leaf blower to tidy up the front, the world's dimmest street lights had come on. Luckily there was a full moon last night which illuminated things enough for me to see what I was doing. :)
I've never heard of A Monster Calls, either. I'll have to check it out, too. ;P
Arekino-san, would you mind participating in my survey? ;P
What is your preference IRT lady bits and their hair? Do you like to see full Brazilian, half Brazilian, trimmed, or au natural?
I've only met one person from Belgium and she was a massive bitch.
Well, that's unfortunate. Most Belgians I've met were fairly friendly.
There's all sorts of thicknesses.
I didn't know that. Hey, have you ever made French fries yourself? Which thickness?
I bet. ;P
To be fair, the accent of my hometown is also imcomprehensible. Good thing very few people still speak it.
who has the best chocolates?
The Swiss maybe?
Do you like to see full Brazilian, half Brazilian, trimmed, or au natural?
Oh, gosh. It depends, I guess. In general I rather like the full Brazilian, gives you a good view of the matter at hand. Then again, some asian women do have a rather nicely shaped, very black bush. The other varieties are fine too as long as it's not an amazon forest. :)
BTW the last and only time I had all the hair around my genitals removed was before my appendix operation about 30 years ago. That was a bit awkward and scary having this (rather good looking female nurse) have at it down there with a very sharp safety razor. But I was in too much pain to care. :)
Hey, have you ever made French fries yourself? Which thickness?
Of course. Not thin like McDonald's. I like them a bit thicker. And crispy. I don't like limp, soggy fries. Deep fried crinkle cut ones (Ore Ida brand) aren't too bad, either.
I've never done the Brazilian myself. I like most of it trimmed short and anything that strays from the basic shape gets waxed. I can't imagine how terribly itchy it would be when it starts growing out if it was all shaved or waxed. D:
BTW the last and only time I had all the hair around my genitals removed was before my appendix operation about 30 years ago.
All? Including your nads? I heard that's getting popular with straight men these days due to the porn industry. Everyone wants to look like a porn star. I read an article by some dude who tried it. He said he was too scared to shave his balls with a razor so he used an electric clipper and got a sorta kiwi look. LOL
I don't mind body hair on a man's front side as long as it's not too long. Back hair is gross, though. Hairy asses, too. D:
Including your nads?
Yep, including ze ballzz. I guess it was a little itchy when the hair grew back but not incredibly so.
I like most of it trimmed short
What do you do with the hair afterwards? Has QoH ever commented on your grooming habits?
I don't mind body hair on a man's front side as long as it's not too long.
I don't mind a little hair on a woman either. Although it's not like I've been upclose enough to any woman for a hands-on evaluation.
Hey, what type of vulva do you have BTW? There are lots of different shapes. Are you happy with the way it is?
What do you do with the hair afterwards?
I usually just stand over the garbage bin in my bathroom when I trim it. That way there is no mess to clean up and it's easy to hide the evidence. ;)
Has QoH ever commented on your grooming habits?
Nope. I try not to let her see me naked, although she has a bad habit of just barging into my bedroom when I'm in the process of getting dressed. :/ She obviously hasn't noticed. She's not the type to *not* say anything otherwise.
what type of vulva do you have BTW?
I guess it's just a standard issue. I've never thought about it much.
Are you happy with the way it is?
It would be nice if there was less hair, but the parts are all proportionate, so I can't complain. ;)
What about you? Are you happy with your equipment? ;P
I suppose what you're asking is about my labia? Well my labia minora are *not* longer than the labia majora. Everything is well hidden like one of those Russian nesting dolls. ;P And I don't have a long clit. It's all safely tucked under its clitoral hood. ;) It looks quite nice for lady bits. ;D
Apparently mine is called The Barbie, like the doll, and is the least common style even though it's the classic shape. I think it looks the best, though. ;D
I suppose what you're asking is about my labia?
Well, according to wikipedia "The vulva includes the mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, bulb of vestibule, vulval vestibule, urinary meatus, greater and lesser vestibular glands, and the vaginal opening.".
But your description is quite sufficient for me. :)
It's all safely tucked under its clitoral hood.
Did you have any difficulty finding it when you were younger?
It looks quite nice for lady bits.
I bet it does. It does all sound pretty good. ;)
Apparently mine is called The Barbie, like the doll,
Kind of ironic, since Barbie never had a vulva.
I think it looks the best, though
It's nice and neat. I'm glad you're happy with it.
Are you happy with your equipment?
Fairly happy. I wish it was a bit straighter. But I guess it's fully functional as it is. I can't really complain about that.
Do you have any preferences WRT penis shape/size/type?
Did you have any difficulty finding it when you were younger?
To be honest, it was a non issue. I never really gave it much thought or exploration. I remember one time, I don't recall how old I was, I was looking at it using a mirror and of course QoH had to come barging into my room while I was doing that. She laughed at me and then mockingly made a sarcastic comment about if everything was there. I was completely humiliated.
Do you have any preferences WRT penis shape/size/type?
Well, I haven't had any hands on experience with it as you put it. ;P Over here circumcised ones were considered the norm, so those are the ones I'm used to seeing, but I guess I don't mind uncut ones. I suppose I wouldn't like ones that were too big. I'm quite petite myself.
I was thinking of shaving a bit off my pubes to make it look like a Batman symbol. It would look cool. ;P I'd totally do it if there was no chance that QoH would see it.
Anyway, I was supposed to make meatloaf last night, but by the time QoH got around to going to the grocery store and we got back, it was a little late to start prepping all the stuff. It probably wouldn't have been finished cooking until after midnight.
Now I'm in limbo with it because QoH changed her mind and doesn't want me to use all the meat for a big meatloaf, she mentioned making meatballs, too. I wish she'd make up her freaking mind already so I could get on it. I don't feel like wasting the whole day because of her indecision. :/
I was completely humiliated.
Some mothers are just... bad mothers. (And not in the Shaft sense ;P )
I was thinking of shaving a bit off my pubes to make it look like a Batman symbol.
ALL HAIL BATPUSSY! ;P
I wish she'd make up her freaking mind already so I could get on it.
Can you really not just start without her? Is the meatloaf for a gig?
Can you really not just start without her? Is the meatloaf for a gig?
Not for a gig, just for us to eat. If she had just told me to use the Nancy Fuller recipe, I could have had everything prepped, put together, and in the oven in maybe 45 minutes. With QoH's involvement, it took 3.5 hours. >:(
And then she kept changing the amounts of the ingredients. She'd read one amount, I'd do it, then she'd tell me no, I said a different amount. Apparently her effed up recipe card, which would take a team of scientists to decipher, had different amounts that she had written out all helter-skelter for making different amounts.
Then after I actually got the damn thing in the oven, she had the nerve to ask me to re-write the recipe on a note card. Like I'm supposed to be able to make sense of her original insane scribblings. I'll just look up the recipe on Nancy Fuller's website and write it out and add the modifications that we made.
Anyhoo, the OUAT season 6 finale was last night. It kinds wrapped everything up. Then the next season is supposed to feature a grown-up Henry with a little girl showing up on his doorstep (like he did with Emma) and telling him she's his daughter and his family is in trouble and needs his help. Yeah, no. I'm done with this show. J-Mo isn't coming back for S7 and it's rumored that a lot of the current cast isn't, either. I'm done caring.
I think I might just go ahead and do Bat minge. Maybe I'll even send you an artist's rendering. ;P
to feature a grown-up Henry with a little girl showing up on his doorstep (like he did with Emma)
So it's like a soft reboot? Maybe they'll hire a different writing team as well?
Maybe I'll even send you an artist's rendering.
Good idea. Maybe you can craft it out of macaroni? :)
So it's like a soft reboot?
I suppose. And they are moving the night it's on from Sunday to Friday at 8pm.
Maybe they'll hire a different writing team as well?
Nope! It's still Kitsis & Horowitz. And they've been pleading their usual 'oh, just trust the writers' tripe. I've been hearing that crap since S3.
Maybe you can craft it out of macaroni? :)
Vajazzle with macaroni? Nah. ;P
I already made myself a stencil. And I'm about 50% finished with a sketch of what it should look like. Trying to look at myself in the mirror and draw without getting caught by QoH is a lot harder than you'd think. D:
Okay, I totally did it! ;P And it doesn't look too bad. I wish I had one of those tiny electric ear and nose hair trimmers to do finer detail, but as it is you can clearly see its a batman symbol. ;D
It's still Kitsis & Horowitz.
Kitsch and Horrificz? Those hack frauds? ;P
you can clearly see its a batman symbol.
Well, I fully expect your vagina to go on nightly excursions and start fighting crime now. ;P
It's a pity your labia and hood are so tidyly formed or else they could form a neat cape and cowl. ;P
Kitsch and Horrificz? Those hack frauds? ;P
Yeah, that's pretty accurate. ;P
Well, I fully expect your vagina to go on nightly excursions and start fighting crime now. ;P
I can now nickname my lady bits "The Bat Cave". ;P
It's a pity your labia and hood are so tidyly formed or else they could form a neat cape and cowl. ;P
Nah, it's good the way it is. I can't imagine having labia that were long. That would feel so irritating. They can get irritated quite easily since the skin is sensitive. I'd hate to have long ones that were constantly rubbing against underwear and pants. D:
I'd hate to have long ones that were constantly rubbing against underwear and pants.
I guess women who do have "long ones" have to wear special underwear or something? I mean, men's bits are quite long and we seem to manage. If there is any rubbing it's usually intentional. :)
Well, it's certainly getting a lot warmer over here. A little too much so for me. Good thing I bought that ventilator last summer.
I guess women who do have "long ones" have to wear special underwear or something?
I have no idea. Not really my concern. On a related note, guys are so catty when it comes to women and their body parts, especially the little douchebags on Sherdog MMA forum. Always making snide comments about boob size, whether you can see long clits and labia through their shorts, etc. Like they'd ever have a chance to be with those women. No woman wants to be with some critical asshole. And they usually look like shit themselves and have no room to talk about others.
BTW, there was recently some hacked lady mma selfie pics that got leaked. I learned that Angela Magana has an ass that is very similar in shape to my own. :O
men's bits are quite long and we seem to manage.
But you have hair on ze ballz and a foreskin for protection. ;P
Ya know, when I was a very little kid I always thought that clothing for men and women was ass backward. Women should wear pants because we're anatomically suited for them, while men should wear skirts because then their dangly bits wouldn't be confined. At least Scotsmen had the right idea. ;P
Anyhoo, you said you were fairly happy with your equipment, so I guess I can assume that you are at least average? Or are you like closet porn star size? ;P ;D
it's certainly getting a lot warmer over here
Same here. It's already summer-like temps (too freakin' hot). :/
guys are so catty when it comes to women and their body parts
It's just the idiots among us, the immature ones and the terminally insecure.
Or are you like closet porn star size?
Nah, I assume I'm just average. Do you want me to give you my penis measurements?
It's already summer-like temps (too freakin' hot).
Summer is still a long way away here. It was nice weather today though. I went out to buy me some new shoes and some new underwear. Oh, and some shampoo.
I found a copy of "A Monster Calls" on-line, I'm watching that now.
Do you want me to give you my penis measurements?
Nah, that's not something I need to know.
I went out to buy me some new shoes and some new underwear. Oh, and some shampoo.
Well, at least you got out and about today. :)
I found a copy of "A Monster Calls" on-line, I'm watching that now.
Cool. Let me know how it was.
Well, I have to go grocery shopping with QoH now. And someone called about a gig for next Saturday. So I can expect 8 days of hell until then. QoH gets too worked up over these things. :/
>that's not something I need to know.
Indeed. :)
>Let me know how it was.
Eh, it was okay. It's a movie for adolescents. And I'm technically old enough to be a grandpa. ;P
>8 days of hell
Sounds like a good movie title. ;P
And I'm technically old enough to be a grandpa. ;P
Aren't you going to be fiddy on your next b-day? ;P
Sounds like a good movie title. ;P
It's quite terrible to live it. She has already started with her obsessing and related nonsense today. I need the money, but the week of torture is hardly worth it. >:(
Aren't you going to be fiddy on your next b-day?
Yeah... #sighs#
the week of torture is hardly worth it.
What can you do about it?
What can you do about it?
Not much. :/
Well, I suppose the gig is happening regardless if we're there for it. It's supposed to be at some community center's fitness room that has exercise equipment in it. Allegedly the equipment is supposed to be pushed against the wall to make room for the buffets. It's still unclear if QoH will be working it. She already has an attitude about the pay. If they don't agree to what she's asking, she won't work it. She has gotten very diva-ish in her old age. If things aren't exactly to her liking, she cancels and won't work. 20 years ago she'd work any damned thing regardless of how difficult it was. It's really annoying now because we need the money. :/
Allegedly the equipment is supposed to be pushed against the wall to make room for the buffets.
Are you supposed to move the equipment yourselves? Doesn't really seem like part of the caterer's job.
It's really annoying now because we need the money. :/
Does she have money stashed away somewhere maybe? She must realize you guys need the money from those gigs. You know, to survive. :)
BTW today I learned that:
Cookies came to America through the Dutch in New Amsterdam in the late 1620s. The Dutch word "koekje" was Anglicized to "cookie" or cooky. The earliest reference to cookies in America is in 1703, when "The Dutch in New York provided...'in 1703...at a funeral 800 cookies...'"
I think I'll bake some cookies tomorrow. :)
Are you supposed to move the equipment yourselves?
I have no idea.
Doesn't really seem like part of the caterer's job.
It is not. Usually it is made clear that we are not furniture movers. If something needs to be moved, it needs to happen before we get there as it's not in our job description. It's all a moot point anyway since QoH called and cancelled as I suspected she would do. I'm kinda relieved even though we desperately need the money. It spares me from suffering through another 4 days of torture.
Does she have money stashed away somewhere maybe?
There was some money saved, but we've been going through it. Not much left now. If only she'd realize that I'm a separate person from her and not conjoined. She acts like if she is incapable of working than I am also. I am quite capable of existing separate from her and having a job of my own. She fails to see this reality. She thinks I'm an extension of her, like an arm, that cannot function without being attached to her.
She must realize you guys need the money from those gigs. You know, to survive. :)
She said herself that she hates to lose the money. However her bs supercedes the need for money.
BTW today I learned that:Â
Cookies came to America through the Dutch in New Amsterdam
Yep. Our country has a lot more Dutch influence than most people realize. (I knew that info about the cookies, BTW :) )
So what kind of cookies will you be making? Maybe some delicious chocolate chip? :D
She fails to see this reality.
What is it going to take to make her see it, you think?
I knew that info about the cookies, BTW
Of course you did. :)
Maybe some delicious chocolate chip?
I just made some shortbread. Really easy to make. Quite delicious. :)
What is it going to take to make her see it, you think?
I have no idea. How does one rationalize with someone who is irrational? :/
I just made some shortbread. Really easy to make. Quite delicious. :)
Shortbread *is* yummy. Unfortunately it doesn't contain chocolate. ;P
Well, at least I made a little moolah yesterday. I mowed the nabe's yard even though it was ridiculously hot. By the time I was finished I was literally about to pass out. I was feeling faint and nabe chooses that time to get chatty. :rolls eyes: I cut her short and came back to my house to drink a couple large glasses of ice water and sit on the floor. :/
It's hot again today. I was out back raking again (those damn trees never seem to stop shedding leaves) and some bastard wasp stung me on the wrist. I didn't even see the bastards flying around. I suddenly felt a searing pain in my wrist and dropped the rake. *Then* I think I saw one flying by the corn plant. I had to come in the house and put ammonia on the spot where I got stung to neutralize the protein in the poison. Thank God that works almost instantly and stopped it from hurting. Then I sprayed the spot with some lidocaine spray. :)
I went back out, smacked the area where I thought the nest was with the rake, and 3 of the bastards came flying out. I was going to spray their asses with wasp spray, but they flew off. I located the nest, cut the leaf it was attached to from the stalk, and doused it with wasp spray. If the bitches come back and make another nest I'll be ready for them.
The only good thing I can say is at least my wrists are bony and there isn't much meat for the poison to go in to. Otherwise it swells up into a big itchy welt. :/
How does one rationalize with someone who is irrational?
Maybe you can irrationalize with her instead of rationalize? :)
By the time I was finished I was literally about to pass out.
Have you ever gotten a sun stroke when working? I assume you wear a hat?
Have you ever gotten a sun stroke when working?
No, only a few times I've probably had heat exhaustion. I know when I start feeling overheated it's best if I come in for a few minutes and drink water or Gatoraid and strip out of my sweaty clothes so I can cool off.
I assume you wear a hat?
Yep, always. :)
Yep, always. :)
One of those Chinese rice hats? :)
BTW why are your wrists so bony? ;P
One of those Chinese rice hats? :)
Usually just a baseball cap. Recently I've been wearing one of those floppy Gilligan-style hats. The brim keeps my ears from getting too much sun.
BTW why are your wrists so bony? ;P
Genetics? What are you implying? ;P
And it seems that I had a delayed reaction to the wasp sting. The next day it swelled into a big red itchy splotch and has been getting progressively worse. I think ATM it has maxed out. I really needed an antihistamine to keep the swelling down, but since I don't have any I've just been taking ibuprofen and putting ice on it. And today I started putting lots of tea tree oil on it. I don't know if that has helped, but it seems less swollen and the red splotch seems less red. It's a lot less sore and itchy than it was this morning at its worst.
floppy Gilligan-style hats
Hm. I never liked those. But if they do the job then great.
What are you implying?
Well, nothing. There's an amazing number of bones in a wrist. What makes your wrists more bony then other peoples? :)
I really needed an antihistamine to keep the swelling down
Isn't that just if you're allergic? Or maybe Florida wasps have a more dangerous sting than European ones?
Hm. I never liked those. But if they do the job then great.
I don't like the look of it, either, but I got it from a gig (they were giving them out as party favors and someone left their's behind). It does work okay, though.
What makes your wrists more bony then other peoples? :)
I'm sure I have the same amount of bones as everyone else, it's just in don't have much meat on them. ;P
Isn't that just if you're allergic?
It's supposed to keep the swelling down. I've never used any so IDK if it would help or not. It was a suggested remedy in the toobs.
Or maybe Florida wasps have a more dangerous sting than European ones?
The particular variety that got me is a Red Wasp. They are especially nasty little fuckers. I think this is maybe the 4th time in my life I've been stung by one. It's the worst reaction I've had. I always get a big swollen itchy red patch, but never before has the swelling extended past the red patch. Today the swelling in my arm has finally subsided. I still have the hideous red patch. It's still a little itchy, but not as bad as before, and still a little sore, but not as intolerable as it was before. I really despise wasps. >:(
Have you ever been stung by one before?
it's just in don't have much meat on them
I don think you're supposed to have meat on them. Some people do have a lot subcutaneous fat there.
Have you ever been stung by one before?
Not by a wasp but by a bee. Once when I was a kid and once when I was doing the public gardening job.
Oh, I baked more cookies today. A variation on the shortbread, less butter and instead 2 egg yolks. They're still good but I think I like the first version better.
...
And now firefox keeps crashing on me. Darned.
Hey, have you ever tried changing your handwriting? Mine is usually not the most legible so I thought I'd improve it a little. :)
Some people do have a lot subcutaneous fat there.
That's what I meant by meaty. Big ol' fatty wrists. ;P
Not by a wasp but by a bee.
I've never been stung by a bee even though we have lots of bees in the yard. They're all worker bees, though. I have no idea where their hive is.
Hey, have you ever tried changing your handwriting?
When I was in hs I think. I tried experimenting. Of course, my handwriting style has evolved over the years. I usually only write cursive for Christmas cards, but I've been told I have nice cursive. I usually print for everything else. I can get a little sloppy with it, but if I'm trying to make it legible it looks nice IMO. :)
I am cooking BBQ ribs today. QoH threw a fit because I bought them from the old Western Beef store (it got bought by new owners and they changed the name to Broward Meat and Fish) which QoH didn't trust buying meat from since some of it was not from the US and a lot of it was low grade meat.
Well, I purchased these ribs after the name change when it seemed like the quality was improved. These happen to be Smithfield which is a name brand and it was stamped on the package that they are product of USA. And they looked very meaty. QoH got mad when I bought them, but I refused to take them back. :) They were a really good price and like I said very meaty.
So today when I was prepping them to cook, they were indeed a good quality and didn't smell old or anything. I hope they come out tender. I'm going to put them on the grill after they finish baking in the oven. I also have some hotdogs to cook. :)
I can get a little sloppy with it
Hm, I tend to be less sloppy with the print style. I was taught in school how to write cursive when I was 7/8 but I never managed to make it look good and legible.
QoH threw a fit
You know that was going to happen, right? But you bought the ribs anyway. :)
I refused to take them back. :)
Good job keeping your foot down. :)
And how were he ribs?
QoH throws a fit no matter what I do, so usually if I want something I just buy it and don't say anything. She noticed right away with the ribs because I had to put them in the cooler that we bring along when we go grocery shopping.
Anyway, she was already prejudiced against them, so she complained that they were tough and tasted terrible to try to ruin it for me before I even had any. After I finished cooking everything and grabbed a couple ribs for myself, the ones I had were fine. They were tender and tasted like any other ribs I've ever bought. QoH has since refused to eat any more of them, which is fine by me. So at least I'll get to eat my fare share. Usually she eats about 80-90% of any meat that I cook because of her self-imposed food restrictions. She's "diabetic" so she can't eat carbs, only meat and green vegetables, tomatoes, and bell peppers. :rolls eyes:
In other news, Ma Nature came early for her monthly visit on Friday. Heavier than usual, but with hardly any cramping, so even though it's annoying, not being in pain is a tradeoff I'll take. :) Hopefully she'll be gone by tomorrow.
Unfortunately she isn't gone. >:( She needs to go *now* since I need to take care of some things IYKWIM. ;P
Sorry for being late My allergies flared up for some reason and I completely forgot you existed. ;P
But seriously, sorry. :)
QoH has since refused to eat any more of them, which is fine by me.
Your efforts have proven to be an effective tactic, it seems. ;P
She's "diabetic" so she can't eat carbs, only meat and green vegetables, tomatoes, and bell peppers. :rolls eyes:
Yeah, that's nonsense. Surely she eats carbs sometimes? People need carbs for energy.
Ma Nature came early for her monthly visit on Friday.
Sorry to hear that. It's not something you ever get used to, is it?
She needs to go *now* since I need to take care of some things IYKWIM
You mean you can't so that while she's visiting?
Sorry for being late
That's okay. I figured your browser was acting up again, but allergies is a legit reason.
Yeah, that's nonsense. Surely she eats carbs sometimes?
Yeah, sometimes. The problem has always been that she really needs to exercise, but now that she has really been having issues with her back injury, she has trouble standing up or doing anything. :/
It's not something you ever get used to, is it?
Nope. It's always annoying and most of the time there's pain involved. :/
You mean you can't do that while she's visiting?
No, it's too messy.
In other news, I have to call Dish today to inquire about downgrading since they're getting too expensive. We might have to get rid of the land line, too. :/
No, it's too messy.
No lack of lubrication though. ;P
I have to call Dish today to inquire about downgrading since they're getting too expensive.
You have satellite TV? Cool.
We might have to get rid of the land line, too
The phoneline? Does that mean you'll lose your internet connection? Or is it "just" the TV?
No lack of lubrication though. ;P
That's nasty. D:
You have satellite TV? Cool.
I think I mentioned that before. :) Well, we had to go out to run a couple errands today and got back a little late for me to call Dish so I guess I'll do it tomorrow.
The phoneline? Does that mean you'll lose your internet connection? Or is it "just" the TV?
Yeah, the phone line. I'd lose the Internet, too, since it comes together, but I still have Internet on my cell phone (which is how I normally surf the toobs these days). For now I'm just going to inquire into any way to reduce the bill. I think QoH probably has some services on the phone line that she doesn't need. I won't really know until I call to see what can be done.
That's nasty. D:
You know, I've sometimes wondered if this is related to the origin of the vampire legend. Like, some guy is cheating on his wife in their conjugal bed, enthousiastically performing cunnilingus on his menstruating mistress's genitals. Then, unexpectedly, his wife enters the bedroom. They look at each other, her eyes aghast, his lips dripping with period blood.
"Thith ithn't what it lookth like," he manages to utter, smiling, exposing his red-stained teeth, "I'm jutht thucking her brainth out."
I think I mentioned that before.
My brain is getting old. It needs sucking out and being replaced.
I still have Internet on my cell phone
So if people wanted to contact you guys for a catering gig, they'd have to call you directly on your cellphone?
enthousiastically performing cunnilingus on his menstruating mistress's genitals.
Oh Arekino-san, I don't thing you realize how gross all the stuff that comes out during menstruation actually is. It would be bad enough if it was just blood, but that's the least gross part. There's stringy bloody mucus, pieces of uterus lining that have the consistency of egg custard except it's almost black, other fleshy-colored bits, and it doesn't smell too good. I don't think you'd want to have your face and mouth in all that. And it's very uncomfortable for me to begin with. I certainly wouldn't want anyone messing around down there when I didn't feel good. :/
My brain is getting old. It needs sucking out and being replaced.
Is this where I should make a penis/fellatio joke? ;P ;D
they'd have to call you directly on your cellphone?
Yep, and that's problematic because 1) QoH doesn't keep her cell phone on when she's home which is 99% of the time, and 2) most of our contacts only have the home phone number. :/
I don't think you'd want to have your face and mouth in all that.
I'm sure I don't. But you just know there are people out there who think it's yummie.
QoH doesn't keep her cellphone on when she's home
Ah, QoH also has a cellphone. That's a pity. Or maybe just as well. If you guys were left with only your cellphone she'd probably insist on using it.
So how did reducing the bill go?
But you just know there are people out there who think it's yummie.
Oh, no doubt. D:
So how did reducing the bill go?
I haven't gotten to it yet. I only checked the different packages and prices for Dish. I noticed that they have something called "flex pack" now where they offer a core package of the most popular channels and then you can add on "mini packs" with different types of channels like news or sports. I didn't see a price for the core package and they didn't give a complete channel list for it. Also QoH wanted me to hold off on downgrading. I still need to call to inquire about if I can take local channels off since they now charge $10 for those and I can get them over the air for free. Doesn't make sense to pay for them.
I haven't had a chance to call the phone company. QoH always wants to make plans to go to the store or run errands and then changes her mind. I hate to get involved with calling companies when she has plans because the minute I try to do something she'll want me to drop what I'm doing to do what she wants. :/
Hey, have you ever browsed on AliExpress? They have lots of interesting things, some for cheap. I was looking for cheap Legend of Zelda bedding. The one comforter that I liked was at either Think Geek or Hot Topic, I don't recall which, I think it was TG. It was a little too expensive IMO even though it was on sale and the sheet set was sold separately, also a little too expensive. So I searched on AliExpress but didn't find any. They *did* have lots of anime designs that looked pretty cool and also something called "kurumi". LOL I guess that is something to do with hentai stuff? Are you familiar with that, Arekino-san? ;P If I was working I just might buy you one and have it shipped to you. ;P ;D I wonder what your mother would say about that? Lol ;P ;D
have you ever browsed on AliExpress?
Nah, I usually buy stuff from Bol.com.
It was a little too expensive IMO
This may be a good time to be frugal.
Are you familiar with that, Arekino-san?
I'm familiar with hentai but I've never heard of kurumi. Is it to do with the manga Date A Live (which I just googled)? Why do you think it's hentai?
I wonder what your mother would say about that?
I'm sure she'd love to be confronted with her son's preverted inclinations. ;P
P.S. I unfortunately do not have any perverted inclinations. If I did I'm sure my life would be much more interesting. Alas.
I'm familiar with hentai but I've never heard of kurumi.
I'd never heard of it before, either. They had bedsheets with cute girls printed on them, like life-size. Most were fully clothed. Some of them were in their underwear or nekkid, or nekkid and pleasuring themselves with giant pink dildos, so I assumed those ones would fall into the hentai category. :shrugs:
I'm sure she'd love to be confronted with her son's preverted inclinations. ;P
Lol I had a sorta awkward exchange with my mother over her views of sex the other day. She has a negative view of men and sex and I guess she thinks I'm just supposed to remain single and celibate my whole life (I snarked that phrase at her). Then she made some comment about after she dies I'm going to go wild and screw everything or go out and find some dyke. I told her she's wrong on both counts. Firstly, I'm demisexual, so I'm not going to be fucking random people and certainly not lesbians. The wildest thing I'm likely to do would be to buy a sex toy or two since I wouldn't have to worry about a nosy old woman finding them. ;P
If I did I'm sure my life would be much more interesting. Alas.
Lots of interesting diseases you could contract. D:
I had a sorta awkward exchange with my mother over her views of sex the other day.
How did that start?
I'm demisexual
That´s just another word for normal, I'd say.
to be fucking random people
Is not the norm, I'd say.
Lots of interesting diseases you could contract.
I suppose. I have to wonder what kind of perversions you have in mind though. :)
How did that start?
I don't recall. She was on one of her broken record rants and started accusing me of things I would do in the future. It wasn't something I wanted to talk about with her, I just said enough to defend myself.
That´s just another word for normal, I'd say.
I suppose. I always thought it was odd when people commented on peeps they thought were attractive and wanted to fuck. How can anyone want to fuck someone they don't know?
I have to wonder what kind of perversions you have in mind though. :)
There's plenty of diseases to be had from regular sex. Anal sex really helps spread them because of the anatomy and function of that body part. It's amazing how ignorant some people can be when it comes to basic anatomy and biology. The mouth is the beginning of the digestive tract and the an us is the exit. Anything put in either end gets disseminated throughout the body. And butt holes are where the poo comes out. D:
And then there are bacterial and yeast infections. Lots of nasty things to spread around. And the worst part is you can catch something just from poor hygiene and sanitary practices like nasty people who work in food service spreading hepatitis and e-coli because they don't wash their hands after using the toilet. D:
How can anyone want to fuck someone they don't know?
It could be the result of alcohol use.
There's plenty of diseases to be had from regular sex.
Yeah, thankfully someone invented condoms some time ago. I know, they're not 100% safe.
Also, you were only thinking of regular sex? I thought you were thinking about perversions. :)
Anything put in either end gets disseminated throughout the body.
Apparently there's even such a thing as a fecal microbiota transplant. Ah, the wonders of science. :)
And butt holes are where the poo comes out.
Yes, I've noticed. :)
It could be the result of alcohol use.
And I think some people get some kind of thrill from it. Not for me, blech.
thankfully someone invented condoms some time ago
It's too bad so many people are too lazy to use one.
 I thought you were thinking about perversions. :)
There are also plenty of diseases that likely came from cross-species contamination due to bestiality. That's pretty perverted. Animals can't give consent.
A while back on the PD forum one of the female members had posted about her husband pressuring her to have anal sex. Not the first time a woman on there posted about this topic. Seems popular with the narc porn watchers. Anyway, there were plenty of men on the forum who objected to putting their penis in a poop chute. Lol Consenting people can choose to do whatever they like, but pressuring someone to do something that it potentially harmful to them is crossing a line IMO. My comment was to tell him that it's an exit not an entrance. That was quite popular with the ladies. ;P I don't really understand what the appeal is with anal. Seems with the narcs it's a feeling of domination or they're getting a thrill by doing something that is semi taboo.
Animals can't give consent.
The females certainly can't. Then again, if consent is really a problem here then does that mean that artifical insemination or other breeding methods are also perverted?
pressuring someone to do something that it potentially harmful to them is crossing a line IMO.
Pressuring someone to do anything sexual is crossing a line. So, yeah.
I don't really understand what the appeal is with anal.
As far as recieving anal is concerned, stimulating certain nerves in the anus the right way can be pleasurable. Personally, I just don't like the idea of sticking my penis in there. Apparently even porn actors prefer that their colleagues have an enema performed on them first. I suppose it makes their workplace slightly less messy. :)
if consent is really a problem here then does that mean that artifical insemination or other breeding methods are also perverted?
I was only talking about humans screwing animals.
stimulating certain nerves in the anus the right way can be pleasurable.
I think in the case of males it's more about stimulating the prostate. ;P
Apparently even porn actors prefer that their colleagues have an enema performed on them first.
Even then that's not going to clean out all the bacteria. D:
Personally, I just don't like the idea of sticking my penis in there.
So what kind of activities do you think you'd like then? I'm assuming oral is one. Men seem to really like that. And women appreciate a man who will return the favor. ;D BTW, the penis shape you have is allegedly good for g-spot stimulation. ;)Â
I was only talking about humans screwing animals.
I know but if you're breeding animals then you're also forcing them to have sex with a member of the opposite sex (of the same species). The females are not asked for consent and technically they are being raped. Do you think it matters to them which species is raping them?
I think in the case of males it's more about stimulating the prostate.
I don't know. I do have a hard time believing that's the case.
Even then that's not going to clean out all the bacteria.
No not all of them. Then again, you're vagina contains bacteria as well, as does my penis. Different types of bacteria, sure.
How are you with hygiene in general BTW? I kind of assumed you weren't super uptight about it considering all the work you do in the garden.
Men seem to really like that.
And you know this because of all the porn you've watched? ;P
Oral sex seems like a rather strange experience. Wet and sloppy. :)
the penis shape you have is allegedly good for g-spot stimulation.
Yeah, maybe. I admit I've wondered about that. When I first heard of the g-spot, sometime in the early eighties, it was considered to be somewhat illusive or hard to find. Many women apparently had been unaware of its' existence, some even doubted that it was a real thing. I gather you've found yours then?
if you're breeding animals then you're also forcing them to have sex with a member of the opposite sex
With animals it's a bit different as they are at the mercy of their biology and instincts. The females have sex when they are in heat and the males only care about that when the females are in heat. I've had dogs of both sexes and that is the case. It's not like they can choose when it happens unlike humans. Humans can have sex whenever we feel like it, we don't have to wait for estrus. And animals mate strictly for reproducing unlike humans where it is usually done for pleasure forgetting that it can result in babies. ;P I don't view animals on the same level as humans anyway.
I do have a hard time believing that's the case.
Prostate stimulation is allegedly on par with g-spot stimulation. I guess you'll never know if you don't try. ;P (I'm not suggesting gay sex, you supposedly can stimulate it with fingers up your bum or by stroking a certain area on the perineum. :) )
you're vagina contains bacteria as well, as does my penis.
The good kind, not ones like e-coli. ;)
How are you with hygiene in general BTW? I kind of assumed you weren't super uptight about it considering all the work you do in the garden.
While it's true that I don't mind getting dirty, I certainly don't like staying that way. I don't like being stinky or feeling dirty, so I like regular showers and keeping clean and groomed. I think we Americans are pretty obsessed with personal hygiene. ;)
And you know this because of all the porn you've watched? ;P
No, from all the men I've worked around.
Wet and sloppy. :)
Vaginas can get wet and sloppy, too. ;P I guess it's the tongue and sucking action that's appealing.
it was considered to be somewhat illusive or hard to find.
It's not. It's really easy to find. ;P ;D
I gather you've found yours then?
Yep. See above answer. ;D Unfortunately I have rather short fingers, so it's not something I normally do since I tend to get a cramp in my wrist while trying to get at it. :/ There's definitely a different sensation than with clitoral stimulatuon.
It's not like they can choose when it happens
That's not always true. Some females of a species can be quite picky with who the have intercourse with. Besides that doesn't cover the case where a human has sex with a female that is in heat.
I don't view animals on the same level as humans anyway.
It seems that when it concerns consent you do view animals on the same level. That was one of the arguments against bestiality that you stated.
you supposedly can stimulate it with fingers up your bum or by stroking a certain area on the perineum.
Well, I'm going to have to decline on option one and option two does nothing for me.
I guess it's the tongue and sucking action that's appealing.
The tongue action, probably yes, the sucking action... probably not? I can't imagine that to be in any way pleasurable. Plus it doesn't sound great. I can't stand slurping sounds.
I think we Americans are pretty obsessed with personal hygiene.
Obsessed? Like how?
There's definitely a different sensation than with clitoral stimulatuon.
Do you have preference of one over the other? I guess it's best to be sorta random/unpredictable with what your stimulating?
I can't imagine that to be in any way pleasurable. Plus it doesn't sound great. I can't stand slurping sounds.
Oh Arekino-san, you are very picky. ;)
Obsessed? Like how?
I guess 'obsessed' is a little strong of a word. We just like to be clean and smell nice. It's a cultural thing I guess. I used to hear stories from people who traveled abroad saying how people in the rest of the world stunk and didn't bathe regularly or wear deodorant. If I'm in a store and someone stinks it's really quite jarring and offensive. It's kind of a common courtesy to others to not assault their olfactory system. D:
Do you have preference of one over the other?
I suppose clitoral.
I guess it's best to be sorta random/unpredictable with what your stimulating?
How do you mean? If you were stimulating someone else? I'd say no. Just speaking for myself, if you are on one thing, just stick with it. I wouldn't want any surprises or jumping from one thing to another. Let's say you were orally stimulating my clit, I probably wouldn't want you to stop and try for the g-spot. If you were going to do both (sorta like venus butterfly sans the anal part) then do both at a steady pace.
Anyhoo, it has been raining here for 6 days straight. I'm surprised Noah hadn't showed up yet. >:(
It's a cultural thing I guess.
Also, a diet thing, I think.
If you were stimulating someone else?
Yes. The impression I've somehow got is that doing the same thing all the time gets "boring". Isn't that why they say to write the alphabet with your tongue when peforming oral?
it has been raining here for 6 days straight.
We've only had a few nights of rain after a period of drought. We're rather happy with it as it's better for the veggies in the vegetable garden. Also, I like it cooler. :)
Also, a diet thing, I think.
Yeah, God help you if you get down wind of a Paki in a small shop. All that turmeric and cumin reeks. D:
The impression I've somehow got is that doing the same thing all the time gets "boring".
Well, from what I've read from other women, and I find the same applies to me as well, is that there's usually one tried and true way to achieve orgasm, so stick with that. All these other alphabet techniques and whatnot just seems like stuff to sell magazines. It might be nice as foreplay, but when it comes to the big O stick with what works. ;)
it's better for the veggies in the vegetable garden. Also, I like it cooler. :)
It's not so good for the leaky roof and it makes all the plants that require trimming grow too fast, so more work for me. But it is making my neighbor's grass grow faster, too, so I'll have to cut it sooner. ;)
there's usually one tried and true way to achieve orgasm, so stick with that.
Sex seems boring to me now. Why bother? ;P
o I'll have to cut it sooner.
Mo' rain mo' moneyz. :)
Mo' rain here as well.
I went to the doctor as my stomach problems aren't going away. She's going to send me to a specialist to have a look at my internals with a camera. First time for me. I can't imagine it's going to be a pleasant experience.
Sex seems boring to me now. Why bother? ;P
So carry on as usual then. ;P
Mo' rain mo' moneyz. :)
Yep. The nabe called a couple hours ago and left a message on my phone asking if I could cut it today while it wasn't raining. Well, it's raining now so it's not getting done today. :/
I doubt that if I had called her back and tried to do it that I'd have been able to finish before the rain started up again. QoH usually likes to go shopping on Friday so I didn't want to get involved with mowing. With QoH everything is always up in the air and plans are subject to change with her whims. No one can waste days like her with all the uncertainty. If I didn't have her around to throw a wrench in my plans I could get soooo much accomplished.
I can't imagine it's going to be a pleasant experience.
Nope, it most certainly won't be. I've heard stories from peeps who've had it done and it's most unpleasant to say the least. First they give you this stuff to drink that makes you shit your brains out to the point that your ass hole is in pain. Then you get to have instruments shoved up your ass. If you are getting the barium treatment, you go through step one and then they pump a massive amount of liquid up your arsehole and you have to try to hold it in while they poke, prod, and turn you this way and that. I've also heard stories about peeps who were unable to hold it in which resulted in a shit geyser/explosion which soaked the doctors and nurses and most of the exam room. D:
So you are in for quite an experience. Good luck with that. ;)
Then you get to have instruments shoved up your ass.
I think you may have misunderstood. I have some issues with my esophagus and my stomach. They'll probably shove one of those snake-like camera thingies down my throat to have a close look at what's going on in there.
a shit geyser/explosion
#citation needed# ;P
I think you may have misunderstood.
Oops! Well, disregard what I said (for now, anyway ;P). I suppose they'll have to sedate you if they are going to shove a camera down your throat? I certainly wouldn't want to be awake for that. D:
#citation needed# ;P
QoH can verify everything except the shit geyser. She did say she was barely able to hold it in and that if it let loose there would definitely be a shit geyser. ;P I doubt very seriously if I could locate that "shit geyser" story that I read. I recall it being in a comments thread somewhere where people were swapping their horror stories about having Lower GI series of tests done.
In other news, I *did* manage to mow the nabe's yard yesterday. The sun came out for a brief while after it rained and dried things enough for me to be able to mow. It went faster this time thanks to the new blade I installed on the mower. Got paid today. :) Only bad thing is she gave me 10 dollar bills. Now I have almost 30 singles in my wallet. Cashiers might think I work as a stripper with all those ones. ;P
suppose they'll have to sedate you if they are going to shove a camera down your throat?
They did that with my father when they had to have a look inside his lungs. I think it's an option in case a person really can't handle swallowing the camera. I assume they'll be using an endoscope. Those are very thin.
Cashiers might think I work as a stripper with all those ones.
Well, you do have the good looks and the fit physique. :)
Nice of te nabe to pay you right away and in cash. I guess you don't have to share that money with Qoh?
Those are very thin.
I don't care how thin they are, I don't think I could handle that while awake. :/
Nice of te nabe to pay you right away and in cash.
Well, I *did* have to wait until late the next day to get paid. She used to do so the day of.
I guess you don't have to share that money with Qoh?
I usually buy food/groceries with it.
Anyway, in other news, QoH is in paranoid crazy bitch mode today. She has accused her ex-bf of stealing her cast iron pans (he didn't, it's just that she hasn't used them for so long that she misremembers what size they are), accused the government of putting poison in the food because when she was cooking salmon cakes froth formed in the cooking oil (this happens when you fry something containing egg batter because the lecithin from the egg combines with the evaporating moisture from the food to make a thick froth, but QoH knows better than science :rolls eyes: ), and called me a degenerate dyke/lesbian because I don't go along with her crazy conspiracy theories.
Oh, and her other theory as to why the salmon cakes frothed is that the government took all the aborted babies and ground them up and put them in the food. (How they make them look and taste like salmon is beyond me.) When I didn't reply to her saying 'isn't that a possibility?' she screamed at me, "AREN'T YOU GOING TO ANSWER ME???!!!" Any other time she wants me to stay silent until she is finished with her monologue, otherwise she'll scream at me STOP INTERRUPTING ME!!!!! No matter what I do I'm always wrong according to her. I can't fucking win no matter what I do. :/
Oh, she backed up her claim about the ground-up fetuses in the food by saying that "they" made lampshades out of Jews' skin during the holocaust. I had no idea there were still nazis alive who did that and that they were in charge of the food supply. :rolls eyes: But I'm the enemy because I don't agree with her crazy shit.
Does what she says sound crazy to you? I'm around her so damn much that it's easy to lose perspective and begin to think I'm the crazy one. Of course that's all just part of the mind fuck I guess. :/
She has accused her ex-bf of stealing her cast iron pans
Ha! :D
QoH is in paranoid crazy bitch mode today.
Sounds like it, yes.
he government took all the aborted babies and ground them up and put them in the food.
That's original. :)
I can't fucking win no matter what I do.
Just tell her; "Well, I'm sorry to hear that." :)
Does what she says sound crazy to you?
A lot of things sound crazy to me these days and, yes, so does this. :)
begin to think I'm the crazy one.
It's not an eithe/or thing, I'd say. We all have a little crazy inside us and sometimes it comes out. Some people have a lot of crazy inside them, like QoH and it comes out lots of times. :)
Ugh, I'm feeling tired ATM. QoH is exhausting to be around. Had to go to the bank today. At least I swapped half of the one dollar bills I had for larger denominations. :)
Trimmed some hedges yesterday. It's bloody hot and humid here and there are swarms of nasty mosquitos. :/ I still have the plumbago in the front planter to trim. I suppose I'll have to lug the electric trimmer back out to do it. Which reminds me that the blade needs sharpening. :/
At least I swapped half of the one dollar bills I had for larger denominations.
How many did you have?
the blade needs sharpening.
You should give QoH a few odd looks while you're sharpening that blade. ;P
Is your plumbago the type that grows lianas?
How many did you have?
28. I got a 10 and a 5 in exchange for 15 of them.
Is your plumbago the type that grows lianas?
Since they are technically like a vine, they have a tendency to try to grow up other plants. The stems don't get very thick, though, maybe only a centimeter thick. QoH has them for bushes/low hedges. They are a pain in the ass since they grow rather quickly and require constant trimming, but she doesn't care since she has her slave (me) to do it. :/
28.
Having bills for a single dollar is actually quite handy. I mean, instead of having coins which we have over here. I don't pay with cash much anymore but even now I carry some metal currency in my wallet and it's probably less comfortable and convenient than paper money.
maybe only a centimeter thick
Still sounds like you could hang from them and play tarzan or jane. :)
she has her slave (me) to do it.
Better make sure you remember your safeword then. :)
Does she make you feel guilty or worthless to make you do it?
Having bills for a single dollar is actually quite handy.
Yes, that's why I only traded 15 of them. Singles come in handy when I'm only buying a few dollars worth of vegetables at the market. They have tried a couple times to convince Americans to use dollar coins instead of bills, but it's always unpopular. Then the comedians make jokes about what the hell are you supposed to do at a strip club? The stripper doesn't want a bunch of coins weighing down her panties, or where do you stick a coin in a g-string? LOL
Still sounds like you could hang from them and play tarzan or jane. :)
Nah, they're quite brittle and snap fairly easily. You can play Tarzan with the dangly roots from a ficus, though. Those are quite strong. (I speak from experience. ;P )
Does she make you feel guilty or worthless to make you do it?
No, I don't mind doing yard work. It gets me out of the house and away from her for a few hours. Although if she died I'd probably get rid of some of the plumbago and some other stuff that requires too much maintenance.
In other news, it's been quite a busy news day with that apartment building fire in London and the asshole who tried to kill all the Congress people at baseball practice in DC today. They showed cell phone video of the sounds of the shots being fired. The shooter must've been the most terrible shot in history to fire that many rounds and only hit 4 people. Only 2 of the victims were hurt seriously. The cops there had to be pretty good shots to be able to kill the perp while returning fire with only handguns. The victims were lucky that they got rushed to Georgetown hospital since that's one of the best in the country.
I don't mind doing yard work.
Then why complain about being her slave when having to do the trimming for QoH?
Only 2 of the victims were hurt seriously.
That does seem odd.
In more other news, I've made an appointment for a gastroscopy in july. I'll be the star of an indepth documentary on the human stomach. Finally some recognition. ;P
Then why complain about being her slave when having to do the trimming for QoH?
Because it's way more crap than most people would have in a yard. Most normal people don't want to have a yard that requires that level of maintenance. She has all these damn plumbagos that grow fairly quickly and need constant trimming, plus all the mango and avocado trees that she has me trim every year because she's paranoid that they're going to fall on the house, plus the stupid "hedges" like the bougainvillea in the back which is another damn vine like the plumbago that has to be trimmed all the time or else it gets out of control and grows all over everything. And then all the damn raking of leaves. It's a real pain in the ass to be constantly doing all that. I don't mind a normal amount of yard work, and it is an excuse to get out of the house away from QoH for a while, but the amount of time dedicated to doing it is ridiculous. For example, if I was working regularly I wouldn't want my leisure time taken up with all that yard maintenance. Fewer plants and trees would mean more free time for fun activities.
I've made an appointment for a gastroscopy in july.
Well, good luck with that. Hope it goes well. :)
Fewer plants and trees would mean more free time for fun activities.
I see. So you haven't been doing anything fun lately? :/
good luck with that.
Thank you. :)
So you haven't been doing anything fun lately? :/
I haven't done anything fun since maybe 2007. :/
Unfortunately, I don't have much to talk about today. It rained quite a bit earlier today. It was enough to make it somewhat dark when I woke up so I just slept in a little longer. I always sleep good when it's rainy.
QoH turned her TV off and went back to bed at little after I woke up so I had a couple hours to myself so I did some laundry without her interference and criticism.
I haven't done anything fun since maybe 2007.
Oh, come on. That's ridiculous.
Anyway, even if that's true, what was so different in 2007 that made you capable of having fun then?
Also, not much going on here. It's still too warm for my liking. I drove my oldest nephew to a nearby city so he could drop off some homework yesterday. Today my youngest nephew is having a sleepover here because his oldest brother is having a belated 19th birthday party. There's the Parkfeest in the center of town. Lots of loud music. I could go have a look tomorrow but I probably won't. I'm still the same old stupid arekino who won't do normal human behavior, I guess. Totally boring and not fun. Oh well.
what was so different in 2007 that made you capable of having fun then?
Back then I worked almost full time and I had a friend from work that I used to go do stuff with (and I was allowed to drive "my" car and didn't have QoH thinking I need constant supervision >:( ).
 Lots of loud music.
I'm turning into one of those crabby older peeps who doesn't like loud music (unless it's a band or genre that I like ;P ). So what kinds of music are they having? Maybe you could go and be different. :)
Speaking of music, they had the old reggae guy again today at the store formerly known as Western Beef. At least this time they had him set up towards the back of the store and not the front where it was too loud. And it seemed like he had the volume turned down a little. He can't really sing worth a crap but he plays the steel drum a little along with his recorded music.
So what kinds of music are they having?
I don't know. All sorts of stuff. From what I can hear not something I want to listen to. Come to think of it, I don't think I've listened to any modern popmusic since 2010. But I could be wrong about that.
He can't really sing worth a crap but he plays the steel drum a little along with his recorded music.
I guess that's one way to make a living.
I don't care for modern pop music in general. Most of it is utter crap. I like a couple of Lady Gaga's songs, but that's about it. Usually I listen to the classic alternative station on the Sirius or the "Ozzy's Boneyard" station which is classic hard rock. So anything from The Cure, The Smiths, Sisters of Mercy, etc to AC/DC, Megadeth, Motorhead, Black Sabbath, etc. :) I used to be a metal head when I was a teen, but I don't care for the death metal any more like I used to. I only like a couple of the newer bands like Amon Amarth and Lacuna Coil and a couple songs from Gojira and maybe a couple others.
Anyway, QoH has been especially verbally abusive today and even using a church program that was on to abuse me with. It's quite astounding how she is so blind to her own behavior. How she can think she's a Christian is beyond me. Christians are supposed to apply the bible to themselves. (She proudly proclaimed that she's never read the bible and that she doesn't need to to be a Christian.) She only uses the bible to point out others shortcomings, not her own. It's quite the opposite of how a Christian is supposed to behave. She acts worse than those Westboro Baptist assholes. :/
I don't care for modern pop music in general.
It's hard to listen to, isn't it? :)

Looks like you're stuck in the eighties, music wise. :)
She only uses the bible to point out others shortcomings, not her own.
How? I mean, if she hasn't read the bible then she doesn't really know what's in there so then how can she use the bible to point out others' shortcomings?
She acts worse than those Westboro Baptist assholes.
She hasn't been disrupting any funeral services lately, has she?
It's hard to listen to, isn't it? :)
Yep. There's a newish radio station in my area "The Shark" which plays new "alternative" music. Once in a blue moon they'll play something from Muse which is okay, but otherwise it's mostly crap and definitely hard to listen to. :/
Looks like you're stuck in the eighties, music wise. :)
Mostly. I do like some older stuff like Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Queen, and sometimes I'll listen to the electronica stations. :)
how can she use the bible to point out others' shortcomings?
Because she watches religious programs like on the SBN channel (where their opinions were the catalyst for her current anti-gay bias). So instead of reading the bible for herself, she relies on the commentary of others. :/
She hasn't been disrupting any funeral services lately, has she?
Not yet. ;P She just spews lots of anti-gay and other bigoted rhetoric.
Mostly
You were not yet a teenager in the eighties, right? I assume your enjoyment of music from that period started later in life then?
So instead of reading the bible for herself, she relies on the commentary of others.
Maybe you should start reading the bible in full view of her. :)
How do you think she'd react if you started going to church regularly?
You were not yet a teenager in the eighties, right?
That is correct. I was in elementary school during the 80's.
I assume your enjoyment of music from that period started later in life then?
Not entirely. They used to play 80's pop music and alternative in the mall at the "cool stores" and also at the roller rinks. I always loved the music they played at this one store that sold novelties (it was like a less naughty version of Spencer Gifts). And of course the music stores and t-shirt store played good music. I had no idea back then which bands they were. It wasn't until I was in my early 20's when QoH was still dragging me around shopping like I was still a small child and I'd get fed up with it and insist on waiting in the car that I discovered the University of Miami's radio station that played 80's alternative and goth music. *Then* I finally learned the names of the bands whose music I liked and learned the names of the genres. When I was in high school hair metal was popular and I learned from other kids the names of bands.
My parental units never played music in the house and the strict Baptist school that I was sent to labeled anything that wasn't specifically Christian music as "devil music" and "satanic". Since I wasn't around people who listened to pop music or any other type for that matter, I didn't really know what was what. So I've had a weird upbringing in regards to music, different than most people I assume.
I didn't even know that there were different radio stations when I was a kid. QoH only listened to talk radio in the house and the radio in the car was permanently set to the country music station. I *despise* country music to this day.
How do you think she'd react if you started going to church regularly?
Oh I'm sure she'd somehow spin it to be lesbian related in some way. :/
I *despise* country music to this day.
I can't say I'm a big fan of it either. :)
strict Baptist school
That's a protestant denomination, right? I've got the impression protestants are often a bit more strict than catholics and yet they dislike a central religious authority. Is that the reason there are so many protestant denominations, you think?
I'm sure she'd somehow spin it to be lesbian related in some way.
Because obviously churches are the preferred meeting place for lesbians. Well, she does have a one track mind. Your assesment of her seems plausible. :)
That's a protestant denomination, right?
Yep.
I've got the impression protestants are often a bit more strict than catholics and yet they dislike a central religious authority.
It depends on the denomination. I've heard stories about strict nuns who beat kids with rulers. I had that experience with teachers when I was in kindergarten and 1st grade. :/
Is that the reason there are so many protestant denominations, you think?
I think not wanting to submit to authority is part of it. You get some disgruntled person who doesn't agree with some teaching so they go off and start their own church. Then in this country, there are tax benefits to churches. So there are lots of people who game the system by starting a "church".
Because obviously churches are the preferred meeting place for lesbians.
Perhaps if it's a Unitarian church? ;P
she does have a one track mind. Your assesment of her seems plausible. :)
I know her very well and know how she thinks.
In other news, I managed to mow the *whole* yard yesterday. Because of all the rain we've been having issues had to skip the back yard the last 2 times because I didn't have enough time to do it. The back yard was really high in some spots and makes it hard to push the mower through. I still need to clean it up a bit with the weed whacker but that's not happening today because it's too hot and humidity and Ma Nature has arrived for her monthly visit. :/
^ "I" not "issues"
I've heard stories about strict nuns who beat kids with rulers.
Yes, that is the stereotype. I'm not sure how much truth there is to it or if local culture influenced that.
You get some disgruntled person who doesn't agree with some teaching so they go off and start their own church.
Mutation through interpretation seems hard to control well without a central authority. I suppose if muslim countries weren't so fundamentalist you'd see a lot of new muslim denominations popping up.
but that's not happening today
Well, if it gets out of hand you'll ust have to get your sword out and start macheting (apparently a real english word) away. ;P
It's hot here too BTW.
I'm not sure how much truth there is to it or if local culture influenced that.
It is true. I know/have known several people who went to Catholic school and have told me stories about the mean nuns. Hitting kids with a ruler used to be a thing.
if muslim countries weren't so fundamentalist you'd see a lot of new muslim denominations popping up.
They don't have the same phenomenon because to oppose or disagree with the koran or Muhammed in any way is apostasy to them and you get beheaded. That discourages any dissent. :/
you'll just have to get your sword out and start macheting (apparently a real english word) away. ;P
Surprisingly enough, at around 6pm yesterday it was less hot and I wasn't feeling too bad so I went ahead and weed whacked. It took me about an hour and I was dripping with sweat by the time I finished. My shirt looked like someone poured a bucket of water on my back. I stripped off immediately after coming inside and stood in front of the fan to cool off. The back yard looks nice now. :)
Oh, I forgot to mention...This was kinda funny: the other day I had to go to the bank and when I was walking up to the entrance and older guy wearing a ball cap that said "Isreal" on it had exited, looked up at me, took all my magnificence in, and said under his breath, "Oh, nice." LOL I wasn't even dressed particularly nicely, I was wearing a tank top, so I guess my arms are impressive. ;P
^Israel
to oppose or disagree with the koran or Muhammed in any way is apostasy to them and you get beheaded.
AKA religious fundamentalism, an extreme form of it.
The back yard looks nice now.
Time to sit back and enjoy the scenery.
said under his breath, "Oh, nice."
For some reason I imagine him saying that with a surfer dude accent. ;P
Of course, I can only agree with him. :)
Well, today I am not feeling well. I have a stomach ache for some reason. It started before I even got up. I laid in bed longer than normal hoping it would go away, and it did somewhat. After I got up to use the bathroom and check the mail box, it came back. I went and laid down again until it felt better then I got up to fix something to eat and it came back again. It seems to start hurting when I stand up for any period of time and goes away after I lay down for a while. Very curious. I'm wondering if it has to do with something I ate last night. I had half a papaya that wasn't 100% ripe and a small amount of salad. Maybe one of those things had funky microbes that are messing with my stomach. :/
In other news it is hot again today. I had wanted to do some work on the roof but I guess that's not happening.
Very curious.
Hm, yes. Is it possible Ma Nature is involved in this? Which part of your stomach hurts? Do your faeces look normal? Your urine? Have you been throwing up? feeling nauseous? How's your temperature? Have you been drinking enough?
I suppose it could just be a stomach flu. Is QoH also affected?
I think it was some sort of indigestion. I drank a glass of water with a tablespoon or so of apple cider vinegar in it and it did the trick. I've had a stomach ache like that before but didn't know the vinegar in water trick. Thanks Internet! :)
Anyway, Qoh woke up being especially nasty today. I have no idea what it is that sets her off. She was "normal" for a couple days and I was wondering when she was going to get back to nasty mode.
I was in the kitchen eating some pineapple and she came down stairs and started in on me and then had the nerve to say that I started it. I said I was standing here eating pineapple, I didn't say anything to you and she tells me 'don't play innocent'. Like O_o WTF?
Then the nabe wanted me to mow their yard. I said maybe later as I was thawing some chicken to cook. QoH tells me to do it (mow) while the chicken thaws. So I start prepping for the job. Then QoH comes up with some paranoid shit about roaches getting in the mower when I mow over there. 1) I've never seen roaches over there, and 2) I doubt very seriously that one would get on a mower while it's freaking running . So after I did the mowing part and came back to get the weed whacker and power cord, QoH flips the fuck out because I came in the house with my shoes on (like I've done for 41 years of my life). Suddenly I'm not supposed to wear my shoes in the house.
I swear whenever she gets into one of these moods, she just looks for any little thing that she can use to make an issue of and attack me for. And of course after I finished and put everything away and went into the kitchen to prep the chicken, she started in with the lesbian stuff again. This time her evidence is that "'that damn dyke Filipino girl'gave you those pants and you're still wearing them to this day". This one is full of half truths. Yes, the woman in question was very likely a lesbian, but never spoke about it with me. She had been in the army and was really cool and a good worker. Just because I can be friends at work with someone who is gay does not mean that I am also gay. I can be friends with anyone who is friendly and a decent person. I'm not going to act like a dick to them or shun them because they are gay. There were quite a few gay people, mostly males, who I was friendly with at work. QoH uses this as "evidence" of my alleged lesbianism. It's funny how there were also straight people at work who I was friendly with, but somehow that is never used as evidence of my straightness. :/
So yeah, gay Filipino chick gave me her old camouflage BDU pants and a new pair of cold weather uniform boots and I still have them. The only thing that means to me is she was generous to give me something that I could use because we wore the same size and she no longer needed them. Jeez, can't someone give something to another person as a kind gesture? Does everything have to have some hidden gay meaning? I guess with QoH it does when she's always looking for one.
Arekino-san, I'm sooo fucking tired of her accusing me of that. She's beaten that dead horse until it looks like ground beef FFS. I'm not gay. I don't want to fuck any lesbians. It's all so fucking old and tiresome. :/
Oh! Forgot QoH's other "proof" that I'm a lesbian. She says to me, "I noticed that you have been shaving your moustache just like the dyke that you are. You shave it so it can be thick like a man's because all you dykes want to look like a man."
I told her I don't shave it, I pluck it. Then she argues back and forth with me 'yes you do,' no I don't. So fucking childish. For the record, I do pluck my "moustache" because I have very dark hair and pale skin and it's very noticeable. I've suffered for years having to listen to people's rude comments all because I was stupid enough to listen to QoH's bs about not shaving it or it will grow back thick like a man's beard.
I finally had enough of it about 10 years ago and decided to pluck the hairs. Just last year I started shaving the peach fuzz that grows in the mutton chop area and under my neck. I've had a really embarrassing patch of hair the size of a half dollar that has grown on my throat since I was a little kid. If I had fair-colored hair, it wouldn't be that noticeable, but I don't. Many women who have these issues employ various methods to remove unwanted hair. It's to look more feminine and that's why I do it. So QoH's "reasoning" makes entirely no sense. If I wanted to look masculine shouldn't I leave my facial hair on? Removing it makes me look more feminine, not masculine. Like I said before, she looks for any damn thing I do as a way to criticize and put me down. She's a disgusting excuse for a human.
like I've done for 41 years of my life
You were wearing shoes while you were still in your mother's womb? :o
can't someone give something to another person as a kind gesture?
Would you have interpreted it as merely a kind gesture if a man had given those things to you? I mean, it's possible (perhaps unlikely) she had some feelings for you, right? Still doesn't make you a lesbian though.
I gues it's also possible she saw you as some poor schmuck who needed some charity. :)
bs about not shaving it or it will grow back thick like a man's beard.
Yeah, I don't think you have the right hormones for that, being a woman and all. :)
If I wanted to look masculine shouldn't I leave my facial hair on?
Even if you did, you wouldn't look masculine. It's not like you're some sort of bearded lady.
Besides Qoh giving you a hard time, is it possible you're feeling insecure about some facial hair because you've never been in a romantic relationship with man who more than likely wouldn't give a damn about it?
You were wearing shoes while you were still in your mother's womb? :o
Tiny Dr Marten's, I bet. ;P
Would you have interpreted it as merely a kind gesture if a man had given those things to you?
Probably. She was someone I only saw occasionally. In the context that it occurred in, she had retired from the army and was getting rid of most of her army stuff because she didn't want to think about the army any more. She was moving on to different things. It seemed to me she gave those items to me because I had an appreciation for them and a use for them. She never acted interested in me romantically. It wasn't any different than with anyone else I worked with. I think she was in her mid 30's and I was around 23 at the time, so there was a generation gap.
I guess it's also possible she saw you as some poor schmuck who needed some charity. :)
That's probably pretty accurate.
is it possible you're feeling insecure about some facial hair because you've never been in a romantic relationship with man who more than likely wouldn't give a damn about it?
No, it's just QoH pissing me off with her bs. PD's are completely infuriating because they spew illogical crap and you can't reason with them.
Anyhoo, I'm seriously annoyed with nabe's bro. The lazy cunt parked his car in the grass next to the fence and then didn't move it to the driveway when he knew I was going to be mowing. I asked nabe to ask him to move it and she told me 'oh, he said he's laying down now and he's not going to move it'. So I had to mow around it and now that he's left there's a patch of high grass there and it looks shitty.
I'm sorry, but I have no respect for him as a "man". He's a lazy cunt. He deliberately got rid of their lawnmower so he would have an excuse not to mow. Then, almost a year ago before they got their re-roof, one of his grandmother's relatives came over and shamed him into trimming their frangipani tree so it wouldn't be in the way. And you know what the lazy fucker did? He threw the cuttings down on the ground in their back yard where they've been ever since.
And nabe is just as lazy. She doesn't work and is there all day long doing nothing. She could easily go back there with the garbage bin and fill it up a little at a time to go out with the garbage pickup twice a week until it's all gone, but NOOooo!!! They're all too fucking lazy to hit a lick at their own house.
Both of them are in their 30's and still live with their grandmother and mooch off of her. It's disgusting. Two adult-babies who don't know how to do anything.
Anyway, at least I benefit a little due to their uselessness. I went ahead and trimmed the little hedge they have and edged the yard. I didn't get to edge the last time because it had rained. So when she paid me she gave me an extra $10. :)
The lazy cunt
So, wouldn't he be a lazy dick rather than a lazy cunt or are there subtleties here that I'm not aware of?
They're all too fucking lazy to hit a lick at their own house.
Laziness is one of the perks of being wealthy. ;P
So when she paid me she gave me an extra $10.
At least they're not stingy, I guess?
The question is now how to make them even more lazy so you can do more things for them so you can earn more moneyzzzz.;P
So, wouldn't he be a lazy dick rather than a lazy cunt or are there subtleties here that I'm not aware of?
"Cunt" here is mainly being used in the British fashion of insult. Kinda like calling someone a massive asshole. In the US, it is the ultimate taboo word that is laced with misogyny if you call a woman that. Since it's technically a rude word for vagina/vulva and the lesser rude word is "pussy" and can mean a male who is wimpy or unmanly, I'm also calling him unmanly in a rude way. ;P
Laziness is one of the perks of being wealthy. ;P
They're not wealthy, just welfare Queens and play upon people's charity (they have family members and people from church giving them things and doing stuff for them all the time).
At least they're not stingy, I guess?
I've never experienced them being generous like that before so I assumed that the guy who used to do their lawn likely charged them extra to do the hedge. He was the type who didn't like to spend time doing hedges, he was a cut, blow, and go type. So if he had to do a hedge he'd charge extra for it.
The question is now how to make them even more lazy so you can do more things for them so you can earn more moneyzzzz.;P
Yeah, as annoying as their laziness is to me, I benefit from it monetarily. I wish I had a couple more lazy peeps around here who require my services. ;P
Lawn service can be a pretty lucrative business. If you have professional equipment it makes the work go faster and you can do many lawns in one day. Just 20 customers per week would provide a decent living. :)
I wish I had a couple more lazy peeps around here who require my services.
See, lazy people are great. They're the job creators. :)
Just 20 customers per week would provide a decent living.
About 3 per day? Yeah, I guess that might work. But how to find them?
About 3 per day?
I was thinking more like 4 or 5 per day. Ride-on mowers go pretty fast and cut a wide swath. Then one could have a short work week and a long weekend. ;P
But how to find them?
This is just a hypothetical since QoH would throw a fit and not allow me to use "her" mower and equipment. If she was out of the picture, this is what I would do. The easiest way would be to start attending church and then let it be known that I do lawn service. Usually church people want to be charitable and help out a fellow churchgoer. Since I do good work, word would get around and more people might want my services. Or find an over 55 community with single family homes with yards and go around and put flyers or business cards on doors. I'm the sort of person that older folks would find non-threatening. Just a couple ideas. Of course I'd need the pro equipment to be able to do it. ;)
Well it rained today. Not too much, but enough to cool things down a bit. I prefer it cloudy and a little rainy during the summer or else it's just too damn hot.
Of course I'd need the pro equipment to be able to do it.
Where would you get the money for that?
Well it rained today.
Yeah, here as well.
Hey, my sister's bought a dog. It's a brown labrador kind of doggy. I haven't seen it in person yet but I hear it's all kinds of adorable.
Where would you get the money for that?
I'd have to get some sort of job and then save up the money. This would only be possible if QoH was not in the picture. :/
my sister's bought a dog.
Is it a puppy or an adult dog? Puppies are cute but a damn mess. They piss and shit everywhere until they're housebroken and they also chew up all your furniture and anything else they can wrap their mouths around. And pets in general keep your house dirty and stinky even if you bathe them regularly.
I never want pets again. The whole fiasco with QoH and her idiot ex-bf having 6 large dogs in the house has forever cured me of wanting pets. The expense alone really chaps my ass just thinking about it. All money wasted. Never again! >:(
Is it a puppy or an adult dog?
A puppy. They're quite busy house training him.
And pets in general keep your house dirty and stinky even if you bathe them regularly.
I think it depends. I do always notice the smell of a dog in a house. Then again, every house has it's own smell which is not always pleasant anyway.
All money wasted.
Well, I don't know. People do seem to get someting out of a pet's compagnionship. The only reason I'll probably never own a dog is that you have to collect their poo when you walk them. Blegh!
Maybe I'll get a robodog or robocat someday. No poo. :)
every house has it's own smell which is not always pleasant anyway.
That's for sure. I'm very sensitive to smells and I always notice that whenever I'm in someone's house.
Maybe I'll get a robodog or robocat someday. No poo. :)
Try cleaning up after 6 big dogs. I imagine it was similar to cleaning up after elephants. D:
I like the concept that the Japanese have where they have places that you can go to to spend time and pet cats. They have it layer out like a cozy house with comfy couches and many cats and you pay money to go there for an hour or two and just hang out and play with the cats. It's great for peeps who either can't own one or don't want the responsibility. :)
I suppose going to a local animal shelter would be similar (and free ;P) except the animals are locked up and there are no comfy couches to sit on. :/
I always notice that whenever I'm in someone's house.
Yeah, any time someone opens the door to you and there's this warm air that is thick with the smell of that family. Also, the smell stays with you for a while. Whenever I've visited my sister's family their smell hangs on to my clothes. I can also smell when someone has visited our house.
I imagine it was similar to cleaning up after elephants.
Worse probably. Dog poo smells worse than elephant poo, I think.
they have places that you can go to to spend time and pet cats.
They also have a place where you can pet foxes.
So, an aunt of mine has been hospitalized because she has a bowel obstruction. Apprently she should have gone to the doctor much sooner but she doesn't like to go to any doctor. Some people are just to stubborn for their own good. I guess she'll be okay now.
Whenever I've visited my sister's family their smell hangs on to my clothes.
The worst is when you're at someone's house and they smoke and then the smoke smell is in your hair and clothes when you get home. It was especially bad at my sister's apartment and at CB's place, so bad that I had to change clothes and take a shower and wash my hair. I'm very sensitive to smells and I cannot tolerate funky smells hitching a ride home on my clothes. :/
 I can also smell when someone has visited our house.
Same here. I could always detect my sister's distinct scent whenever she came over.
Worse probably. Dog poo smells worse than elephant poo, I think.
This is true. Elephants only eat plants which smell less horrible when shit out than what dogs eat.
she doesn't like to go to any doctor. Some people are just to stubborn for their own good.
Sounds like QoH. She started a fight with me a few weeks ago over what I was going to do when she dies. She didn't want me to call the police. Erm, if she dies in the house I kinda have to call them. WTF does she think I'm supposed to do, let her lay there and rot? I'm not going to jail because she has crazy expectations. If she's dead, she can't control what I do. :)
when you're at someone's house and they smoke
Oh yeah, the bitter smell of ashes. Not pleasant.
She started a fight with me a few weeks ago over what I was going to do when she dies.
Hm, I wonder what triggered that?
If she doesn't want you to call the police then who does she want you to call?
WTF does she think I'm supposed to do,
Well, you could put her in a chair in the basement, maybe tie her hair neatly into a knot. Then you could put on a wig and a dress and stab people in the shower. ;P
Hm, I wonder what triggered that?
Who knows? She's nuts.
If she doesn't want you to call the police then who does she want you to call?
I have no idea. My only option is to call 911. Let them figure out who to send.
Anyhoo, I cooked about 20 burgers and some hotdogs yesterday for 4th of July. Maybe I'll get more than one burger this time. I cooked 9 burgers and couple weeks ago and QoH ate 8 of them. She's so self centered. It's like dealing with a small ill-manered child in a 75 y/o body. >:(
Let them figure out who to send.
Probably for the best.
Maybe I'll get more than one burger this time.
Can't you keep some burgers separate from the rest and eat those?
It's like dealing with a small ill-manered child in a 75 y/o body.
She's 75? Or does she just look like she's 75? Anyway, just send her to her room if she misbehaves. Or cry, that usually impresses children quite a lot. :)
Can't you keep some burgers separate from the rest and eat those?
I could, but QoH is always whining about 'I don't have anything to eeeeeat' and I'm tired of being her short order cook. If she eats 90% of the burgers, so be it as long as I don't have to cook something else for at least a few days. That's why I made the hotdogs so I could have something to eat. She has suddenly decided that she can no longer eat hotdogs because of "nitrates" and they're "poisoned".
This is something she does. She's gung-ho on a particular food-- I *had* to buy all these damn hotdogs because they were on sale and 'soon the government won't allow us to have food', and now she decides they're poison and can't eat them. :massive face palm:
This is her pattern with not only food but with people also. It's a common Borderline Personality Disorder trait of "splitting" where first someone is all good and then for some trivial reason they then become all bad. Also known as "idealization and discarding". QoH seems to do this with food and other inanimate items and not just people. It's completely frustrating. I think I need to start a thread about this on the PD forum and see if anyone else deals with splitting IRT food. >:(
She's 75?
Officially she turns 75 at the end of July.
Or cry
Crying in front of her only invites ridicule and vicious name-calling, mocking, and disdain. I would never cry in front of her.
She has suddenly decided that she can no longer eat hotdogs because of "nitrates" and they're "poisoned".
Wait, so you get to eat all the hotdogs now?
she decides they're poison and can't eat them.
So what will she eat instead?
QoH seems to do this with food and other inanimate items and not just people.
Maybe with herself as well?
I think I need to start a thread about this on the PD forum and see if anyone else deals with splitting IRT food.
I think that's a good idea.
Officially she turns 75 at the end of July.
Okay. My father does as well. QoH is a Leo then? :)
Crying in front of her only invites ridicule and vicious name-calling, mocking, and disdain.
Yeah, I guess if she makes you cry then that would indigate that she made a serious mistake and she's not the type of person that can handle that.
Wait, so you get to eat all the hotdogs now?
Yep, although I'm kinda getting tired of eating hotdogs. :/
So what will she eat instead?
She seems to be able to eat hamburgers without the bun and canned salmon with raw pressed garlic on top and Caesar salad.
QoH is a Leo then? :)
Yep, a bossy pain in the ass just like most Leos. :/
I guess if she makes you cry then that would indigate that she made a serious mistake and she's not the type of person that can handle that.
QoH doesn't think like that. She never sees herself as the cause or accepts blame or feels remorse for hurting a person. Instead, if you cry, she sees you as flawed and the crying is proof that you have, according to her, "mental problems" that you caused yourself and have nothing to do with her behavior and how she treats you. >:(
a bossy pain in the ass just like most Leos
I wouldn't say my father is a bossy pain in the ass. He can be a pain in the ass, just not a bossy one. :)
She never sees herself as the cause or accepts blame or feels remorse for hurting a person.
Well, yeah, because she can't handle thinking of herself as resposible for bad things. Her feelings of guilt and her fear of punishment are so strong that she immediately discards the possibility of being responsible.
if you cry, she sees you as flawed ...
So I guess this means she never cries herself? Not that I've seen a lot of adults cry.
Crying means you have mental problems to her? That's quite the mindfuck.
He can be a pain in the ass, just not a bossy one. :)
That's unusual for a Leo. ;P
Her feelings of guilt and her fear of punishment are so strong that she immediately discards the possibility of being responsible.
I don't think she feels guilt because PDs like her feel entitled to abuse whenever they don't get their way especially if they are in a position of authority (eg parent over child or husband over wife). They feel like they are the ruler and can do whatever they want without question.
So I guess this means she never cries herself?
Very, very rarely. And usually only when she's feeling sorry for herself, which is something she is always accusing me of doing whenever I'm minding my own business and quietly watching TV by myself. :rolls eyes:
Crying means you have mental problems to her? That's quite the mindfuck.
Yep. Typical PD "logic".
Well, today is the 4th of July and the peeps around here have been shooting off fireworks for almost two weeks in anticipation of today. They can't even wait until it's dark. I'm sure it'll continue to go on for another week or two. :/
I'm sure it'll continue to go on for another week or two.
Hey, as long as it's just fireworks and not gun shots. ;P
In other news, do you remember me telling you about that aunt who was hospitalized because of a bowel obstruction? Well, they cleaned her out but that didn't get rid of the obstruction. She would have needed an operation for that but she absolutely didn't want one. So they send her home. They did organize some home assistance for her but when those people arrived at her home this morning she didn't open the door. They called another aunt of mine who is their contact person and that aunt asked my father to go have a look (since my sick aunt lives just around the corner and contact-person-aunt was somewhere else engaged at that moment). My father does have the key to my sick aunt's house but my aunt had left her own key stuck in the door on the inside. So, eventually the police was called and they managed to enter the house. Turns out, my aunt had tried to kill herself by slashing her wrists but had failed. AFAIK she's being treated by her doctor ATM.
Wow, how old is this aunt? The refusing to open the door and refusing medical treatment sounds like things QoH would do. Crazy. Sometimes I wonder how crazy QoH's behavior will get when she's having one of her episodes. So are they going to send your aunt for a psych evaluation after they patch her up?
how old is this aunt?
A couple of years older than my parents, in her seventies.
So are they going to send your aunt for a psych evaluation after they patch her up?
We're getting very little info ATM. I guess there's a psych eval going on or something. She doesn't get a lot of time on her own ATM, I know that. TBH when I went though a depressive period I didn't want to see a lot of people, partly out of shame. Maybe my sister will give us an update soon, she spend more time with my aunts than I do (I do not spend any time with them).
BTW, I went to the gastroscopy people today. Just for an intake session, the actual procedure is planned a couple of weeks from now. I went okay. My father drove me, it was a day out. :)
Well, good luck with the procedure when you have it. At least it's not the up-the-bum kind. ;)
Anyway, QoH wants to go pay a bill and maybe go to the bank, so waiting, waiting, waiting... :/
I hope she hurries up. I'd like to get back in time to maybe mow the nabe's lawn. It's getting high. Of course I'd have to call and ask if she wants it done. ;P
maybe go to the bank
Do you need to go loan money or something?
I'd have to call and ask if she wants it done.
Well, I wouldn't do it without asking her first. :)
The weather is heating up again over here. We even had a thunderstorm yesterday. Apparently lightning struck in a few places in town and started some fires.
Also, I went to see my sisters new dog yesterday. It quite a nice little doggy, not too energetic, quite polite actually. It gave me a friendly lick on the hand as a greeting. :)
Do you need to go loan money or something?
No, just deposit a little cash to cover a bill.
The weather is heating up again over here.
It's very hot here. I wouldn't mind some clouds and a bit of rain to cool things off.
It quite a nice little doggy, not too energetic, quite polite actually.
That's good. :) I hate going to people's homes where they have rowdy ill-manered dogs. Usually toy breeds are the worst, especially chihuahuas. I can't stand chihuahuas.
IDK if QoH wants to go to the store today. I kinda hope not. It's too damn hot today. :/
Well, we went shopping and as I was loading the stuff from the last store into QoH's vehicle, she decides she wants another item and I had to go back. The first time I was in there, I managed to beat the after work rush and didn't have to wait in line forever at the checkout. This time there was like 20 people in each line with heaps of crap in their carts. I tried to pay at the optical but the guy said he couldn't take cash (probably a lie). There was only like 2 people at the "customer service" desk, so I went there. I stood in line almost 25 minutes because that asshole was moving so slowly. I would have been out sooner if I went to a regular cashier, at least they were moving. >:(
When I get back to QoH, she decides to start flipping out because someone parked next to her and behind her and now she "can't get out". More like she can't fucking drive. Then she starts getting abusive with me. I told her I wasn't going to sit there and be abused, I would walk home. Each time I tried to get out she'd speed up so I couldn't get out, the whole time spewing abuse. So I pulled out my phone to record her. That really sets her off into irrational mode. She slapped at my leg trying to grab my phone and when that didn't work she grabbed the umbrella and tried to spear me with it. At that point I jumped out and got away. Then I had to call my dad to come pick me up and take me home.
Well, almost instant karma for QoH. When I got home, she claimed someone smashed into the side of her truck when she was driving by the Dairy Queen shop. Her truck had zero damage, so I doubt the validity of that. She has a habit of exaggerating things. She was upset and discombobulated a bit. And then was all flustered because she had to unload all the groceries by herself. Poor baby, I play the tiniest violin for you. No apology or mention of kicking me out of the truck, she just acted like nothing had happened. She's a real fucking mental case. >:(
she grabbed the umbrella and tried to spear me with it.
One of those with a metal spike at the end? Those can hurt. :/
So I pulled out my phone to record her.
Did you manage to record anything?
No apology or mention of kicking me out of the truck
Technically she didn't kick you out, you jumped out. You had good reason to but still.
One of those with a metal spike at the end? Those can hurt. :/
Yep.
Did you manage to record anything?
No, my phone's apps got rearranged after an update, so she noticed I had the phone out when I was trying to find the app. That's when she grabbed the umbrella.
Technically she didn't kick you out, you jumped out.
Trying to spear me with an umbrella and screaming at me to get out says otherwise. I guess I forgot to say that in my other comment. IIRC she also said I could call my father or walk, and then peeled out with me halfway out and the door still open. I managed to somewhat slam it, but the seat belt was hanging out so I guess she drove home like that. :/
So how are you doing ATM? Are you both pretending nothing happened? Has your father offered any comments? Do you think QoH is getting worse in her behavior?
This comment has been removed by the author.
So how are you doing ATM?
Just shaking my head at QoH's insane behavior.
Are you both pretending nothing happened?
She certainly has been from the moment my dad dropped me off. All she wants to talk about is her wild conspiracy theories/version of events that happened while we were out shopping. She's effing mental for real.
Has your father offered any comments?
He thinks the answer is to move into the house he bought next door to his and then everything will magically be wonderful. The real reason he wants me to do that is he thinks he can coerce me into putting my name on as co-owner so I can claim homestead exemption which is a property tax discount.Â
If both my parents were "normal", that wouldn't be a terrible thing, but they're both nuts. I'd just be bringing a cornucopia of problems down on my head. I prefer the devil I know at this point. My dad has such magical thinking. He thought that after he brought me home, the next day he'd rent a moving van and he'd come over and I'd move out. Like it would happen as simple as that and that easy. QoH is crazy enough. If I tried to move out she'd pull her bullshit just like last time and try to physically prevent me from getting my stuff. Then the police would be called, and they'd side with her and not allow me to take my computer or anything besides my clothes and tell me I have to provide receipts to prove that the other items were really mine and that I purchased them. Like people keep receipts for years and years. I'm not going through all that bullshit again. No way. Moving is an ordeal under the best of circumstances, no way I'm going to attempt that with 2 PD parents involved. :/
Do you think QoH is getting worse in her behavior?
Yes, she's getting more and more paranoid with her assumptions and conspiracy theories and she seems like she's having psychotic episodes when she flips out like she does. Unfortunately, she stopped going to the doctor about 4 years ago and there's no way to force her. The authorities would only get involved if she tried to commit suicide or something and she's certainly not suicidal.
I guess you're just going to have to sit tight now. You can't really do much. Maybe try to find as much distraction as you can. Try to stay healthy. Get enough sleep.
Did you discuss what happened on the PD forum?
Did you discuss what happened on the PD forum?
No. It's not like any of them are going to say anything that I don't already know.
Anyway, I've been following a blog from a lady that someone had linked to at the PD forum. She had written a while back about medical marijuana and its benefits/relieving various ailments. So apparently there is a compound called CBD that is found in hemp oil and doesn't require a prescription because it doesn't come from the marijuana plant and doesn't get you high, but can be used for anxiety, diabetes, arthritis, etc. I was wondering if it would help QoH be less of a psycho.
She has always been strongly anti-marijuana because she thinks people only use it to get high, but recently they had a program on RT (Russia Today channel) talking about its benefits. When they said it could relieve the pain from arthritis and joint pain, she suddenly wasn't so against it. BTW, this RT channel does a lot of fear mongering and QoH just eats that shit up. It feeds her confirmation biases.
So now that she isn't so against the idea because it might benefit *her*, I was thinking I might buy some to give to her. ;P If it calms her ass down and makes her less anxious, it might also help with her PD which would HUGELY benefit me. She would never take a prescription anti-anxiety med or mood stabilizer because "all the prescription drugs are poison and designed to kill you", but she might take something that was an all natural organically grown herbal extract. I think it's worth a try. ;D
a compound called CBD
I assume you mean ?
this RT channel does a lot of fear mongering
I'm aware of RT. They became quite well-known after Russia invaded Crimea. They are thought to be sponsored by the Russian Government.
I think it's worth a try. ;D
You Big Smile icon suggests that you are only kidding. In case you're not, I would advise talking to a medical doctor before trying any psycho-active substances.
BTW, I read that Nevada is actually running out of MJ. :D
I assume you mean ?
Cannabidiol
I assume you mean cannabidiol?
Yes.
I would advise talking to a medical doctor before trying any psycho-active substances.
The hemp oil is an over the counter non-prescription herbal supplement. Most people take it as an anti-inflammatory. If it has an anti-anxiety side effect that would be a bonus. I did some research and found that the THC from the cannabis sativa variety can make people *more* paranoid, so I definitely don't want that, but industrial hemp doesn't have the negatively mind altering chemicals.
In other news, Sunday night (well technically 3am Monday morning) QoH heard a loud truck engine outside her bedroom window. She said it was a fire truck with its emergency lights on. She said it was parked in front of the nabe's house. So when I got up Monday she wanted me to call over there to see if everything was okay with their grandma (she is 91).
Nabe was unaware that there was a firetruck. So she called and left a message later that evening saying that it was for the other nabe next door. He had had heart surgery recently and was really sick and they had to take him to the hospital. Anyway today when I went over to mow the lawn, other nabe approached me and told me that her husband died last night at the hospital at 9:40pm.
QoH has been acting like a total dick over it. She had always been intensely envious because that particular nabe used to work as a teacher for like 30 years and she had a high salary and has full benefits from the govt. So QoH has zero empathy and sarcastically said 'well she has plenty of money to pay for his funeral'. Then she said she's not going to the funeral if they have one and she's not sending flowers. I didn't plan on doing either of those things, either, since we aren't really that friendly with them, but the way QoH says it just oozes with hatred and envy. It's really disgusting to have to listen to her negativity. :/
The hemp oil is an over the counter non-prescription herbal supplement.
Ok. So no docs involved. Convenient. How would you get her to ingest the CBD though? Will she do it voluntarily?
she wanted me to call over there to see if everything was okay with their grandma (she is 91).
What? What does she care about that?
they had to take him to the hospital.
So it wasn't a fire truck then but an ambulance?
How would you get her to ingest the CBD though? Will she do it voluntarily?
Since she saw the documentary on RT, she'd probably take it if she thought it would help with her arthritis/joint pain/inflammation.
What? What does she care about that?
She's just nosy. She'd gloat over the fact that the 2 grandkids would no longer be riding the gravy train. The grandma's husband also used to be a teacher. He died over 40 years ago, but they had all sorts of very cheap government insurance through the teachers' union, so their mortgage got paid off by the insurance when he died. QoH has always been very envious over that fact. And the grandma never remarried so she has had the same super-cheap insurance for their cars as well. The two grandkids have never had to work or pay rent ever since they lived there. Only the grandson got a job at few years ago so he could have money to go out and do things independently. If their grandma died, they wouldn't have her social security money any more to pay for everything and would have to work to pay for everything. Of course, being the welfare Queens that they are, the granddaughter told me before that she'd 'just sign up for SSI' if something happened to her grandma. SSI is supposed to be for disabled people, not lazy people, but people claim to be bipolar to get it.
So it wasn't a fire truck then but an ambulance?
I'm assuming it was the fire rescue vehicle. It's bigger than a regular ambulance.
Well fuck me running. I was researching/trying to find the proper names of the various weeds in my yard, and I had a hunch about Bidens Alba. I wondered if it was medicinal and looked it up. Turns out it's antibacterial, antimicrobial, *anti inflammatory*, and helps people with non insulin dependant diabetes. We have shit-tons of them in the yard. The flowers and leaves are edible raw. The whole plant can be used in various ways. I went out back to sample some. The flowers weren't too bad but the leaves were kinda astringent tasting. The leaves can be chewed a bit and used as a poultice on insect bites and wounds. I tried some on the spot where the wasp stung me since it's still itchy after all this time and it stopped it from itching to my shock. I wonder what QoH's response will be when I tell her about it. ;D
SSI is supposed to be for disabled people
Supplemental Security Income? What do they claim is their disability?
I went out back to sample some.
Are you opening up to new experiences or something? Do please be careful when eating wild plants.
Supplemental Security Income?
Yes
What do they claim is their disability?
They claim to be bipolar. I doubt very seriously that they are. IMO the granddaughter definitely is not. She's just enmeshed and very sheltered and has very little life experience in spite of being in her early 30's. Unfortunately, there are a lot of SJW type doctors out there who will falsely diagnose someone as bipolar in a misguided effort to "help" them. What they are actually doing is helping them commit fraud by illegally obtaining SSI benefits. Claiming bipolar is one of the most rampant SSI false claims.
Are you opening up to new experiences or something?
I'm not looking to get high. I've always been interested in natural herbal remedies and medicinal plants.
Do please be careful when eating wild plants.
It's not like I'm gonna go out back and graze like a cow. ;P
I'm not looking to get high.
I didn't mean to say that you are. You just seem to be looking for new possibilities, going by your last posts.
I've always been interested in natural herbal remedies and medicinal plants.
My parents as well. My mother overdoes it a bit though. She tends to think that "regular" medication is somehow not as good.
It's not like I'm gonna go out back and graze like a cow. ;P
I've always thought of you as more of a goat person anyway. :D ;P
Well, went grocery shopping today. It was mostly uneventful and QoH wasn't out of control with her temper and didn't try to spear me with an umbrella. ;)
When I was in Sam's, there was not a line at the snack bar for probably the first time ever and I was able to buy a big-ass frozen yogurt for $1. It was really yummy. :) And best of all, QoH has no idea. ;D
Other than that it is very hot today. Nothing much to report. Andrea KGB Lee was supposed to fight tonight but her opponent had immigration issues so the fight was cancelled. Booooo!!! I'm still going to watch the other fights.
And best of all, QoH has no idea.
That's just such a sad thing to say. I mean, good for you that you got your frozen yoghurt but it's sad you have be a ninja to buy it.
Booooo!!!
So you're pro-immigration then? :)
I'm still going to watch the other fights.
Okay, have fun. :)
but it's sad you have be a ninja to buy it.
Yep. QoH has always acted like such a petty little child. If you buy some sort of food while you're out, even if she isn't there, she wants you to buy some for her, too. If you don't, then she'll call you self centered and "you never think of anyone else". It's easier to just not say anything than deal with her pitching a fit. And because she "can't have ice cream/frozen yogurt" because she's "diabetic" she'd throw even more of a fit. Did I tell you that about a month or so ago she announced to me that I'm "not allowed to fix any food that she isn't allowed to eat". How fucked up is that? Normal people with dietary restrictions don't get pissed off at people who don't have restrictions and forbid them from eating certain foods. >:(
So you're pro-immigration then? :)
No, I'm pro-watching-Andrea-KGB-Lee-whoop-ass. ;D
Well, the other fights were kinda boring. At least Bellator was on another channel. I usually don't care for that promotiin, but last night some of the fights were okay.
Anyway, I hope that the next time I go to Sam's that there isn't a line at the snack bar. That frozen yogurt was really good. And that large size would likely cost $5 or $6 at a regular shop. :)
So get this: nabe across the street aka The Feckless Wonder managed to back their other car into their next-door neighbors' fence and destroyed it. The idiot wrecked their other car by driving into something. SMDH Fences stand no chance in this neighborhood with all the idiot drivers. >:(
and forbid them from eating certain foods.
Did she really forbid you to do that? What does "to fix any food" mean exactly? Does it mean to make food or to eat food?

Was the neighbor at home at the time? Was there a confrontation?
In other news, tomorrow at 08:50 Dutch Time will be the deepthroating of arekino by a (hopefully) competent doctor, not in a sexual way (again, hopefully ;P ). I'll have to get up at 06:15 to be able to confortably prepare myself for a trip to the hospital. I can't eat anything after 12 o'clock and I can't drink anything 2 hours before the procedure which will take about 5 minutes. Ah, such adventure! ;P
Did she really forbid you to do that?
Yep, she really did say that. I was equally shocked and amused at the craziness of saying such a thing.
What does "to fix any food" mean exactly?
LOL That's a Southern expression that means 'to prepare'. ;)
Was the neighbor at home at the time? Was there a confrontation?
The fence belongs to some African people. They have at least 10 people living in that house and someone is always home. They are very quiet, though, and keep to themselves. I'm not sure if they are aware that their fence has been destroyed or who did it.

Maybe it will be a lady doctor with big boobs which she'll press up against you. ;P
All kidding aside, good luck and I hope everything goes well. :)
I am watching some UFC MMA live from Glasgow ATM, on early due to the time difference. If it doesn't go too late I hope I'll be able to mow my own yard today. It's too hot ATM but it shouldn't be too bad after 6pm.
Maybe it will be a lady doctor with big boobs which she'll press up against you.
Nope, it was a make doctor. A friendly one though. He did not press up against me. ;P
I hope everything goes well.
I did go well. It was not pleasant but also not extraordinarily unpleasant. So far the results are that the "doorway" from my esophagus to my stomach is slightly larger than it's supposed to be. I'm not sure if that's curable.
He did not press up against me. ;P
That's good. Sometimes doctors can get uncomfortably close when they're examining you.
I did go well.
That's good. So do you have something like GERD? I think the nabe started having that in her 20's mainly due to their poor diet and eating McDonald's all the time. Is your problem a structural defect or is it maybe something to do with your diabetes?
Anyhoo, I didn't get to see the main card of the MMA since QoH decided that she had to go back to Sam's RIGHT NOW because she forgot to buy 2 items that were on sale and Sunday was the last day of the sale.
Just as well. Most of the fights were boring and they didn't show the Leslie Smith fight which was one I wanted to see. And Joanne Calderwood lost, so :/ .
So do you have something like GERD?
I'm not sure. My symptoms don't seem as severe.
Is your problem a structural defect or is it maybe something to do with your diabetes?
It may be related to the diabetes. Maybe something neurological affecting the lower sphincter in the esophagus.
Sunday was the last day of the sale.
I guess you saved some money then? Although I guess you used up gas as well.
And Joanne Calderwood lost, so :/
:(
(I have no idea who Joanne Calderwood but you have my sympathies :) )
So whatever the issue is isn't too severe? Just an annoyance then? Is there something they can do to treat it?
I guess you saved some money then?
About 10 bucks. The gas here has been as cheap as it's been in 10 years. The last time we bought gas it was $2.01/gallon. Thank you, Trump! :)
(I have no idea who Joanne Calderwood but you have my sympathies :) )
She's a Scottish woman who fights in the 115 pound division. She is primarily a Muay Thai fighter. They replayed the fights a couple times so I eventually did get to see it. It was a fairly even fight IMO and went to a judges' decision. I think the other girl did just slightly more to win, so it was a fair decision. It wasn't like she got her ass kicked, it was just disappointing that she lost in front of her home town. It wasn't a good night for the Scottish fighters. Most of them lost.
In other news I made a big delicious meat loaf last night. It was one of my best so far. Too bad you aren't here to try some. :)
Is there something they can do to treat it?
So far the only advise given is to take an Omeprazole capsule before breakfast.
a big delicious meat loaf
That's like a large bread-shaped meatball, right? Have you ever tried making one filled with chopped ham and cheese?
So far the only advise given is to take an Omeprazole capsule before breakfast.
QoH's doc gave her that before. Of course she never took any. She'd rather complain. :/
That's like a large bread-shaped meatball, right?
Sorta. They're usually shaped like an oblong loaf. Mine was big enough to fit in a 14" x 20" pan and I only made it about 2 or 2.5 inches tall.
I used finely chopped onion, celery, and carrot, bread crumbs, parsley, rosemary, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sause, a little tomato sauce, milk, and about 4 pounds ground beef and mixed it all together and shaped it in the pan. Then topped it with a glaze made from ketchup, dijon mustard, and brown sugar. Baked in 425 degree oven for 50 minutes. Very delicious. :)
Have you ever tried making one filled with chopped ham and cheese?
Nope. I've had croquettes filled with ham and cheese. Never made any, though. ;)
^I forgot to include 3 eggs beaten as a binder. ;)
QoH's doc gave her that before.
For which ailment?
about 4 pounds ground beef
So I guess you ate meatloaf for a couple of days then? Unless QoH ate all of those 4 pounds in one go?
I've had croquettes filled with ham and cheese.
I think that's similar to what I meant. We call it a "boomstammetje", a little log (like from a tree).
Meatloaf is "gehaktbrood" BTW, literally translates as "ground meat bread".
