I don't like automatic updates. They drive me nuts. Sometimes an update doesn't work well with the OS and then the app doesn't work until they update again. That happens less now that I have a 5s... But when I had my 3s and 4 I had issues.

My Keurig is slowly dying.. the coffee I have gotten out of for the last two days has been luke warm. Coffee is supposed to be HOT or COLD.. not in between

So do I. I wasn't worried about not being agreed with. I'd be more worried if I'm always agreed with. I just noticed that out a lot of replies mine was the only one and it clearly brought up old feelings of being the outcast. I'm not even out of February and I'm playing out my neuroses on here. I'd much rather slowly reveal my issues then act them out. Oh well.

IMHO.

Thanks. This could work for a lot of people but if I did that, in some moods I wouldn't have time to post on anything else. Or eat, sleep, etc. Besides, apologizing when I didn't actually cause harm has a reasonably good probability of confusing the recipient and temporarily derailing a thread. For me the advice to let it go seems prudent.

But rags i enjoy your posts - so maybe you better not expect to be too popular. Some people worry they are thread-killers - i worry i am - hmm what would you call it? If i agree with you, you must be wrong!

its a tough job but someones gotta do it...

ROFL Hankster, you can agree with me anytime! Thanks.

The hard part is how to get your friends to understand when you say no not this time that you mean it. To me it's like training... You will have to do it a few times before they get it that their whining and guilt tripping isn't going to work...and that no this time doesn't mean no never.....

it is hard to withstand the whining and guilt tripping from your friends but you are an adult and you do get to decide...

Also I dont "put up with you"... I enjoy reading your stuff... You are a great person.

I second all of this thoroughly.

Good morning couch! Oh how I wish there was a two-hour delay every school day! I set my alarm for 8am, the child woke up early enough to eat breakfast and watch a video before leaving for school, there were no tears or fighting and I was only 45 minutes late for work. I would gladly work late every day to have a morning like this one more often!! However, reality intrudes, tomorrow it's up at 6 with the same old same old, tears and fighting and screaming and school refusal. Yay me. Come on summer!!

Hey lady

. Yes, that is exactly it -- I am all outta GAF! I am hoping that this feeling is more of an artifact of being worn down and sad about my current job, and not about my career track. But, as Wiki says, it won't be the worst thing if I really just need to change directions.

I really, really need a few days off, but between all the snow up here and all the daycare germs from Baby Brown, I can't afford it now. Sigh. Soon, I hope!

I hope you're well

Anyone use GrooveBook? Holy Moly it is great. I got my first one yesterday and am extremely pleased - such a great way to get actual prints of your phone photos

SallyBrown · Feb 25, 2015, 11:33 AM

I think "Oh god, I'm a thread-killer" is a thought that EVERYONE has. Even knowing that, I still think it all the time!

That happens to me sometimes. I'll be SO WEAK AND TIRED, dragging along, wondering whats wrong, like superman with hidden kryptonite, then i will remember - i had TEA!!

Ellahmae · 03:36 PM

Yup, my "high" from my session yesterday has dissipated. Now I'm just a mass of skin and bones today - no feelings. None. I'm glad I enjoyed it while it lasted.

Ellahmae · Feb 25, 2015, 01:39 PM

I supplement my tea with monster energy drinks bwahahah

Thanks to everyone for their good wishes!

I'm redoing the code for my blog and I can't get a stupid little thing to work - gah.

That's annoying.

I have such a hard time picking colours. I've changed the colours on my blog like 8 times in two days.

Well, as long as it is tea (and not some other infusion like rooibos or chamomile or honeybush) at least you get some stimulants with it. I drink a lot of tea, too. But in mid-afternoon I'll usually have had at least three mugs of coffee, so realising at 4pm that I've had none is a bit disconcerting.
