Thanks guys. My Dad's doing great right now. Maybe this is a gigantic kick in the ass to take care of himself. He'll be the first to admit he had given up before my daughter was born. He had zero fight left and just wasn't taking care of himself for a long time. I had forgotten what he looked like when his eyes light up, and I saw his eyes light up that first day at the hospital, all because she walked in the room. He is absolutely in love with her.

Ugh.

I'm scheduling a doc appointment this week. For the past week and a half I've only gotten 3-6 hours of sleep a night, normally 6. I can't get my usual 8, and I'll always wake up early. This has made me exhausted all day. My body is starting to adapt to it though, as I wasn't exhausted yesterday but still. I took a nap yesterday. Here's hoping my walk will help with sleep tonight.

I also have been monitoring the dark spot near my toe nail. It's the same size but I'm noticing dark lines on some of my toe nails. One has a very dark vertical strip. My toenail health in general has really deteriorated, which is worrying.

It makes sense, honestly, because I haven't felt like I've been on really good health the past few months.

Thinking I have some kind of disease or cancer. We will see, but for now, I need to go to a doc. I also need to take a damn blood test but my insurance does not cover the stuff and care is very expensive. Trans care in Texas is dog shit. The sooner I get out the better.

Injuring myself a bunch over the last 24 hours. Last night I somehow forgot that IH glass surfaces are hot, and burnt my thumb. Went to a hot spring today, jammed my pinky toe into a landscaping stone. Just a few minutes later, a bee came at my chest and, stepping back, tripped on another landscaping stone and put my bare ankle into the corner of a metal lamp, opening it up and bleeding; so I couldn't even get back in the public hot spring because of an open wound.

Cut my pubic hair a couple days ago and wound up giving my crotch a fade cut. I'm tempted to post a picture, it's pretty damn awesome and feels great.

Now I'm kind of tempted to attempt to give myself a haircut, based on how well this went. I'll wait for a holiday weekend, so if I fuck up I have an extra day to grow.

I started cutting my own hair (on my head) last year. Its not that difficult to do if you're using a guard on your clippers. The only hard part is lining/shaping up the back of your own head.

My dad called to leave a message that he's going to be moving out of the country at the end of the month. I don't know if he's serious or not, but it kinda sucks cause I'd like to work on our relationship more. I missed out on having him be a part of my life in a meaningful way and for him to just take off without so much of a thought about his only son kinda hurts. I've tried over the last ten years to work on this with him and he's just not good at it. I give him a lot of chances to do stuff together and keep in contact. I've invited him to SF Giants games and we've had a lot of fun going to those games. But lately over the last year or two things have been hard for him and he's struggled in both his relationships and his business. I know it can be tough being your own boss and making a go of it, but he took to the bottle instead of figuring out what was wrong.

We don't have any support from outside family or friends and yet we're expected to have children without said support system? And let me be clear I'm not talking about financial support or anything like that. Both Roxanne's mom and mine passed before we could have children and it would have been nice if they were around cause at least they were trustworthy. Instead we get stuck with her forever homeless PTSD alcoholic father and my flakey non supportive alcoholic father.

Blah

I'm probably jumping the gun on my emotions and being emotional from this. There are other things going on that probably aren't helping. I just want to start my own family so I can focus on what matters most to me.

Nope.

Had two interviews which went well, one of them called me back and said they want to give me the job but there won't be an opening until September. Which I guess its cool but now its late august and still no word, so I will need to contact them again.

The other one was supposed to call back two weeks ago and still hasn't, I know a guy that works there and he talked to HR and they said they will have more news last week but again nothing. Dunno whats going on with them really, but they are kind of a start up so...

If these jobs in my line of work don't materialize I will be looking for anything really, but without speaking the language even menial jobs will be hard to get here.

My computer has some kind of infection and I'm not sure what the source is. I posted this on GAF, but the only help anyone provided was to install adblock and no script. I'm looking for more help since I honestly don't like depriving sites I use of ad revenue.

Quote from: PlayDat

My laptop has some kind of infection, but neither Microsoft Security Essentials nor Malwarebytes are able to find anything when I run scans.

Sometimes after I click a link in Chrome I'll get redirected to a page like this:

(Image removed from quote.)

These links aren't anything suspicious. I've gotten them from lots of websites I frequent. The most recent redirect happened as I was about to read this article from Rueters about the recent Missouri shooting.

I've had the same thing happen to me after opening some GAF threads too.

I'm really not sure what's happening here and would greatly appreciate any help anyone can provide.

Here's a link to the larger version of that image.

Thanks in advance to anyone who knows what's going on.

Thanks everyone. I tried Malwarebytes already and it didn't find anything. I ran HijackThis and SuperAntiSpyware this morning and found something called PassShow which sometimes redirects people. SAS is also in the process of removing a bunch of other crap I assumed might have been harmless.

Was the company you regretted divesting from one of the companies you thought wasn't going to grow long-term? Not all systemic problems in companies are created equal and it's easy to overestimate bad news--if you watch the morning markets you can see how shitfuck stupid investors are whenever earnings are below estimate. If you're not retiring soon it's generally prudent to be slow to divest and ride out ebbs and flows.

Get some market index funds if you haven't already.

I'd suggest bonds too since your portfolio is big enough to lose 20 G's (i.e. you buy bonds to preserve established wealth, not grow wealth) but bond interest fucking sucks atm.
