What pissed you off today?

[ImOnIt]

I am wrathful.

 

[Chiara_searches]

The timing of my camera breaking - ugh - just when I wanted thoughtful pictures for a vacation.

Finding out today that my daughter's boyfriend has borrowed around $1000 from her. I told her to shut the purse strings, she is going to need money now she's pregnant and unemployed.

If he can afford to smoke pot and cigarettes and drink beer he can afford to start paying her back!

Totally forgot to put on sunglasses before heading out to the garden to weed all the blessed thistle that was taking over a corner of my yard...one good tug and FWABAM blessed thistle across my right eyelid! Moments later the OH so familiar stinging burning hive covered rash sets in. VERY grateful I blinked and it missed going into my eye...but Ouch! This is the end of my gardening for today as this definitely was a "bliss with nature" mood killer for sure... *forehead smack*

 

[KayKat]

No phone call and no email today...

People who only care about themselves.... someone should inform them that they are not the center of the universe.

Never thought that to be reason to wear sunglasses when gardening...good reminder as I continue to wait patiently for that time - DAMN Jack Frost...

Trying to call in money that people owe me, hey if someone lends you money then at least make an effort to pay them back and please don't act offended when I have the audacity to actually ask when you are planning on paying and how much. If you can afford to spend $200 on a pair of boots then you could have afforeded to at least pay me. GODDAMIT.

I was stung like this once a long time ago. I lent £600 in 1994 and never saw it again, even though I continued to see the friend until they emigrated in 2008.

Now whenever a friend needs money (rare, I have to say, these days - was more common when we were all younger), I don't lend. If it's an amount I could bear to lose, I give it, making it clear it's a gift. If it's an amount I couldn't bear to lose, I apologise and suggest they ask elsewhere.

I think thats a really good policy to work to.

It amazes me though the number of people who 'forget' their debts to friends.

I actually owe quite a considerable amount to someone. It's on my mind constantly. I have tried to budget in order to save and repay it and if i come into any lump sums in the near future they will all go to him and repaying the loan.

I went for a snooze when I came from work and woke up at 3pm, so we had a lunch at 4pm today.

Thats great advice thanks Catty. Something I will definitly stick to in the future.

Its odd the rare times when I have had to borrow money I alway make it my first priority to pay them back, even if it's more of a token gesture at least it's something.

my internet connection fucking up while i was trying to have a special conversation with koneko -_-

I agree that I never lend money unless I can afford to lose it. I'm not as generous as Cattypuss though in that I don't make it clear that I'm considering it a gift.


I got surprised a couple of weeks ago, when someone I'd lent money to actually paid me back and thanked me. Honestly, I'd forgotten completely that I lent them the money.

Not pissed off just slightly annoyed with myself for life/relationship choices and compromises made that find me in this position now. At christmas I told myself that would be the last holiday that I would spend alone and in that way and now here I am again.

I make a promise to myself right here and now that my next holidays will be spent with someone special, family or friends.

Also sad that this weekend marks the end of something.

Your promise to yourself is duly noted. You've got the plan, now stick to it. It's written down in black and white.

Can you think of this weekend as the beginning of something new and different? Perhaps something better?

Thanks Chiara and yes I can. I will do exactly that.

I'm an expert in fresh starts and new beginnings lol and besides I have hopes and dreams and wallowing isnt going to make them happen; looking forward is.

I'm just temporarily annoyed and a tad frustrated with myself but I'll start by doing some cleaning and I'l be ok in half an hour!

Crappy weather when I am going to the first ball game of the year

I'm sneaking in a flask. Need to stay warm.

This forum berating me for trying to post the same post twice within five minutes, when in fact it was the quick reply feature being a complete tard.

Being me, with all the associated mental hang-ups and issues

Mom, I thought I made it absolutely clear I didn't want to talk about this at all anymore. Your email really made me ANGRY.

You have a serious problem with letting go of things when you think you're right. I'm not daddy and I'm not going to sit back and let you push me. God, you're like a dog with a bone sometimes!

If you want to get into splitting hairs just to be right, you're gonna be wrong. I can do this better than you think. There's only ONE race, and that's the HUMAN race. How about that? A white horse and a black horse are still horses, mom. We're all pink on the inside.

I don't consider Latino or Arabic people to be White, and with all the paperwork that companies, government programs, and businesses put out asking what your Race is (listing White, Black, Latino/Hispanic, Pacific Islander, Asian/Mongoloid, Native American, etc etc etc) mostly everyone separates people into more than just three races. But who cares if Jesus wasn't white? I think it's stupid how he's constantly portrayed with Northern European/Nordic features on TV, but so what if he wasn't white? His real race should be portrayed honestly in the media so that this bit of ridiculousness can be one LESS thing angry atheists can complain about.

Jesus Was Not a Blue Eyed White Skinned Northern European Man with a Nordic face and features that speak of Nordic blood. He was from freaking Jerusalem! And that entire area was and still is mostly populated by brown skinned people.

Right off the bat, the Book of Matthew describes Mary and Joseph fleeing to Egypt to escape the wrath of Herod. Egypt is in Africa, and is populated by brown-skinned people. For my money, this would be the last place on earth I would go to hide a white baby from an angry King.

The earliest renditions of Jesus, painted by the first Christians called Essenes in the catacombs of Rome, depict a person with brown skin. During the time of Roman Emperor Justinian II, a gold coin featuring an image of Jesus was minted. This coin, which today can be seen in the British Museum, depicts a man with demonstrably non-white features and tightly curled hair. Finally, there is the Book of Revelations, which bears out the crafting of the Essenes and the Roman coin-makers by describing Jesus as having hair like wool, feet the color of burnt brass, and who resembled jasper and sardine stones. Jasper and sardine stones are both brown, as is burnt brass.

Back then people didn't often travel more than 10 miles from their homes because there were no cars, planes, etc, and racial mixing was 1% or less of the commonality it is today. His mom was Israeli, so why would God for some reason made his DNA completely separate from his mom's (and why on earth would be make Jesus look so different from everyone else around him? He was already going to be persecuted and treated badly, logic dictates that God would have made Jesus have half of his mom's DNA at least!)?

It's a convenient fantasy for white people to think Jesus was White because we want to avoid any racial stereotypes and uncomfortable racism we feel lurking in the hidden corners of our minds that we don't want to accept as our own bigotry. White guilt is extremely good at making us feel like we need to act as though we accept people of other races as equal when we really don't. He was not white, let's get over it. That's the end of this discussion, and I'm deadly serious when I say this.

He is starting to right now...Guess I am to damn impatient

 

[Skaoi]

Inconsistencies.
Am I being lied to or is it the others?
Either way, how poopy.
