Random talk thread: It just keeps happening

Nami hasn't had diarrhea since the weekend I got her.

She has stinky farts though.

They don't get it anymore (unless I catch silly table scraps of apple pie or something fucking stuipd), but they used to get it all the time. We tried all these different types of organic dog foods and nothing worked, or it'd work for awhile, and then after we'd go through a few bags, it'd come back. Finally I said fuck this, I'm tired of spending $50 a bag for dog food that obviously still sucks. So we tried Iam's for sensitive stomachs, and they love it and they haven't had any problems since.

Of course a lot of this was when the whole pet food craze was around, when all the pets were getting sick and dying, so we were freaking out. Iam's was one of the many brands that were on the  list for a long time, but after all that died down and we tried it, we never looked back.

It was pathetic. I was having to cook them rice with almost every meal just to get them to keep it down and in long enough to digest like food should. Fuck organic dog food. They can't regulate it because you never know what you're getting, so it's never consistent, hence INURHEA!!!!

[Boogie]

Yeah, I still regret not making the moves on the cute Serbian chick who was in my first year CS class... unfortunately she dropped the program after the first class She was cute and we talked a lot... plus yeah, Serbian, aka E.Euro.

Slavic women.

OMG, making homemade spinach artichoke dip in an hour.

I've never liked any kinds of dip or salsa, like, ever. All of a sudden I like spinach artichoke dip and Chevy's salsa.

for some reason the preview tracks for songs on itunes are all mixed up

Look at this cute ol' bitty I found on the wiki entry for Coney Island!

The girl with the dragon tattoo was really fucking long.  But that chick that played the girl was hot.  The end with her in stockings as a blond

[Robo]

That girl was not hot.

[Madrun Badrun]

SMH

[Robo]

Admittedly, she was pretty smokin' at the very end.

[Diunx]

She wasn't hot but for some reason I was attracted to her.

My cousin and her husband drove down from Chicago to visit the family today, for a big dinner. They're probably a conservative's worst nightmare: they're on welfare, don't work, have a new/nice car,  nice apartment, designer clothes, etc. My cousin has MS and is bipolar but she's perfectly fine when she takes her medicine. Her husband hurt his back like 5 years ago while working, and since then he's claimed he's unable to work - of course everyone knows it's bullshit.

Normally this wouldn't bother me too much, but they're on welfare and yet are extremely smug and pretentious. Like today, I wore some jeans and a button up shirt to dinner, and my cousin asked me what brand it was. I didn't know, and she was like "wow, how can you wear something and not know who did it? Seriously..." Then her husband started talking about how much better Chicago food is than my grandma's food, while we were at the table. Now I'm sure Chicago has some restaurants that are better than homemade Louisiana style soul food, but that doesn't seem like the type of conversation to have in front of the cook (grandma). She wasn't pleased, at all.

But then again she wasn't pleased from the start. My uncle brought his new girlfriend over again, and my grandma hates her. My uncle is like 53, his gf is 25. She's morbidly obese and extremely tacky, but that doesn't bother my grandma: she's upset about the age difference. She didn't respond to a single thing the gf said lmao.

[demi]

His family would be glad he wasn't gay like they thought?

[lennedsay]

TBH that's just how a lot of the younger generation is in Chicago. I love the city but every time we know somebody who gets some big idea to move there, they get completely uppity and come back offending everybody.

That's total bullshit though, especially for offending your grandma. I'd probably tell them off. I've been to Chicago enough to know there isn't any restaurants up there as good as home-cooked food, but whatever.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

I shouldn't even be talking to you right now, PD. One time when a girl came home from Chicago she took something somebody said, I think about an Asian girl being hot or something, not sure, to be racist. Then she said we were all really racist, and she lives in Chicago now, so she's not racist because she sees black people a lot or something even though she lives in some yuppie hipster area. Her cousin is an actual racist to the point where we can't invite him to the house if any black friends are coming out because he'll probably slip up and say something stupid, and you can't go anywhere in public with him and expect him to behave. He's one of those people who are a true friend to us at heart but fuck sometimes I want to kill him.

PD what would happen if you brought a white woman to dinner?

My grandparents on both sides wouldn't be pleased, but I don't think anyone else would care too much. Maybe one of my aunts who always makes ridiculous comments about white people

So I got messages by a Jessica Marie on facebook, apparently I'm her type of guy and she gave me her e-mail and we should chat and stuff.

First of all I'm not good looking and I'm pretty much no ones type, knowing this could be a GIRL( Guy In Real Life ) should I play along and try my luck? or should i just ignore it?

Play along.

Go for it.  When you get her (him) into the bedroom, remember the motto from Ghostbusters:

how do you handle your significant other's ex's?  there's this dude my fiance works with - they went on a couple of dates way back when, and ever since the dork has been trying to get back with her.  not just innocuous stuff either, but asking her to come to his place and he even kissed her on the neck once!  i trust my fiance completely and know she wouldn't do anything, but i still want to murder this guy.  she's asked me to leave it alone because she wants to handle it herself rather than have me go crazy but the urge is so hard to fight.  he showed up at a bar we were just at and i actually had to rage quit just because he was there (in my defense, i've been on edge because all week has been shit).  what do i do to get rid of this anger without doing something that fucks with our relationship/gets me locked up?

Take out your aggression on some form of physical activity. Go for a run, visit a batting cage, go to the driving rage or just rage fuck your fiancee.

Then take pictures, blur her body parts out except for her face (make sure it's the one with extreme pleasure on it), and position yourself so you're giving the camera the finger.  Then send it to him, along with the head of his dog that has been mysteriously missing for the past two days.

I think that should do the trick. 

[lennedsay]

how do you handle your significant other's ex's?

As awkwardly and hilariously as possible. And my husband does the same. We don't get mad or physical, we just fuck with them mentally and they pretty much feel like a piece of shit afterward.

Then again I don't work with my ex, but he does deliver pizzas to my house. He knows better than to try to get back together with me though. Good lord. We see him at parties/bars too. He gets all drunk and cries over me sometimes, like in front of everybody, but usually only if there's some girl there he wants to creep on. We broke up 5 years ago so it doesn't happen as much (well to my knowledge).

He's the only ex I have that I won't really talk to, because if I say anything it'll be really fucking mean and he'll use it against me later in his fake suicide note. But any other ex I have are so far off the radar. Sometimes we still have to put up with my husband's ex's because they're all somewhat linked to our group of friends, and the two I just won't speak to at all and they don't speak to me or him. (I never spoke to them beforehand anyway). The other one is batshit insane and really easy to fuck with, and sometimes we have to see and hang out with her, and she tries to be nice to our face, so us girls will all talk as a group, but I always make it a point to fuck with her head. When we're not there she'll bring up all this old stuff and say how mean he was to her, blah blah blah... (which he was, cause she was crazy). So I got the inside scoop and go in with ammo, and while we're all talking, I'll throw in something that happened that day and it'll make him sound like he just fucking worships me. Oh the look on her face is just priceless... You can just see for the rest of the night watching how he interacts with me, questioning why he was so fucking mean to her but is so great to me. God I'm a bitch, but it's an easier, less messy way to put someone in their place than by physical means or by simply yelling at her, "OMG! It's been 8 or something years! Stop talking shit about my husband to our mutual friends please! He was mean to you because you were a psycho hose beast and still are!"

[Positive Touch]

yeah unfortunately a lot of our ex's are pretty close with our (well more specifically my) group of friends and most of them act like pouty bitches when we're around.  i wish i had a good way to handle it but usually these situations just cause way too much stress, so i've just lost touch with a lot of my old friends.  it fucking sucks and it gets really boring and sometimes lonely but it's not worth the drama.

and the dude in my story above can't even really be called an ex.  they went on a few dates like a year ago and he still acts like they had something really amazing going.  i'm not jealous; it just pisses me off that he acts like that.

[brob]

My dad is upset with me for giving my fourteen year old brother some of my jazz music. I asked if he'd rather have him listen to Rhianna or whatever, and apparently he would.

"age appropriate music"

I probably shouldn't have given him Hiromi's Sonicboom Beyond Standard though, because he keeps playing "I've got the rhythm" on repeat way too loud.

I wouldn't let them stop you guys from hanging out with your friends, because that really sucks.

I wish I could videotape what it's like to hang out at the same places with our ex's. It's too fucking funny to even get pissed off at. You got some grown ass man in the corner crying in front of 20+ people, while they all laugh at his expense. Some fucking raging psycho in her mid 30s that dresses and acts like a 13 yr old girl telling everybody we were best friends and I stole her man, but I never even had her phone number. Then you got some other dumb psycho who tries to make it a point to talk near my husband and get his attention, and he just completely ignores her or ends up saying something totally rude in front her to piss her off. They all just make it so fucking awkward, and won't talk to us like we wronged them or something. And the girls are all remarried but my husband was the one that got away or some shit I guess. He was an asshole to them too, and they all think pretty highly of themselves, so they just thought he was the type that would never get married or he wasn't looking for something serious, and that's why he was a dick to them. Then we got together and settled down pretty quick, and that irked the shit out of them. I've never seen a bigger bunch of whiney babies in my fucking life, and it's pretty fucking funny. By the end of the night, we always look like the bigger people, and they look like a bunch of immature idiots holding some 5+ year old grudge.

[lennedsay]

Well sometimes people have friends and those friends have friends and so on and so forth.

Shit happens when you're all from the same town and all your friends went to the same two schools. We live in a completely different town now, but it never fails. We go to a bar with friends and someone invites someone, who is friends with this one's husband, etc etc. Granted our group of friends is fucking huge, so this isn't some little dinner party bullshit. It's like we literally fill an entire bar with people we know. We have a core group that we hang with all the time, and that has nothing to do with crazy ex's, but when you start talking about anything bigger, you can guarantee some psycho will make it a point to show up.

[lennedsay]

  Wouldn't want to do anything to inflate their egos anymore than they already are.

My bff and I already act like lesbians enough for everybody. We go to the gay bar with our actual lesbian friend, and everybody assumes we're together, always asking how long we've been together and shit. It's easier to just play along because they're always so disappointed to find out we're not really lesbians.

[Reb]

Do you kiss?

[lennedsay]

Yes but no tongue. 

She's my bestie! What if she thinks I'm a bad kisser or something?! I'd never be able to look her in the face again! 

[Mupepe]

girls kissing each other is so hot

[lennedsay]

Not always...    Where we go, you see people making out, and someone makes the comment "thought this was a fuckin gay bar wtf" Then they pull away, and it really was a gay couple...  :'(

There are some hot couples that hang there though. The black chicks are all pretty hot, but the white chicks are either hot or total bulldyke. So much fucking drama though.... I swear, at least half are only lesbian because guys won't touch them with that drama. I'd need a gf that thinks like a bulldyke but dresses like a lipstick lesbian, kinda like my bff (seriously, we would be a great couple in an alternate universe).

[Mupepe]

more about this alternate universe.

what about latina lesbians?  are they generally hot or no?

[lennedsay]

I live in St Louis. We don't have Latinos that I know of.  Well I mean we do, but they don't admit to it. They're "Spanish" or something else that sounds more exotic than Mexican. 

I know one lesbian Mexican, I mean Native American , and she's a pretty gross bulldyke type. I wish we had more here, but I seriously can't remember seeing any Latinas ever at the gay bar, or Asians for that matter.     Too much white folk here in St Louis. And the black folk won't talk to us honkies, because we have no flava.

[Mupepe]

[lennedsay]

Next time we go out of town, we'll go to a gay bar and I'll report back. I'm on a mission now.

I grew up in the awful south county area, so most of our friends have bought houses/live in south city.
