NOOOOOOO




Who was at the table brehs. Damn. She must have really thought you'd smash to leave a message.

I might have flirted a little (she was a piece) but that is lost in the passage of time.

 

At the table? Wife, sister, brother, brother, brother, dad, mom, grandma, and weird uncle Felton.

[king of the internet]

Blacked out again. Barely still alive.

NOOOOOOO

I'll give a bit more detail.

Got home from movie, hit play on answering machine.

Sis talking some dirty shit

I'm all like, I don't know what that woman is trying to do girl, for real...damn   

She buys it 

Wife promises not to saying anything but you know black women PD

Busts out daaaaddddyyyyy

I'm like 

brothers are like   

pops is like 

uncle felton all 

sis was like 

mom was like "what the hell is happening y'all"   

everyone "nothin" 

awkward next hour until I get the first opportunity to jet.

Sis and wifey had a nasty phone call about that shit and that was that. You know that type of my call....all I heard on my end was "that's my man...get your own man....your triflin.....that shit dirty.....whateva....."

[Am_I_Anonymous]

Oh yeah, I forgot, my wife had a new hair going so she was like "I ain't trying to struggle with my sister over this shit and fuck up my hair" then immediately struggled with her sister.

[Brehvolution]

You watched them wrestle?

[Phoenix Dark]

So it was dirtier than just "sit on your lap, daddy?"



Pops and Uncle Felton not giving a shit

That's some Grade A fuckery. The last time I saw some uncomfortable shit like that, it was a Christmas party at my uncle's house. Another uncle had brought his gf over, and it was kind of clear she was kind of ghetto; my dad's side of the family are basically Huxtable black folk. We were doing some type of family event in the living room when his gf went into the kitchen. She came out 5 minutes later.

10 minutes later we all went into the kitchen and I heard my aunt yell "who the hell cut my cake?!" Brehs, the gf cut my aunt's cake and ate a piece. I wasn't aware but apparently going into a woman's house and cutting her cake/pie/etc before her is a major form of disrespect, apparently.

The fuckery that erupted

My mom and grandma had to take my aunt outside to cool her down, while the gf tried to hold my uncle's hand, as if she wanted protection. Brehs I shit you not, my uncle gave her the "I don't know you" face. She left 5 minutes later after apologizing.

[Kara]

Families.

[toku]

Day 4, and still fucking sick. Heavy head, nausea, with a fever that only seems to strike at 5 in the fucking morning. As soon as I go to bed my body goes into nuclear reactor meltdown. Eating fruits, mainlining theraflu. Just want this shit to go away.

[CatsCatsCats]

Just so pissed off today. Wish I could quit my job.

[I'm a Puppy!]

Urgh!This fucking client!
Honestly most of the conversations I've had can be summed up like this:

"Where do I put the gas?"
"You don't need gas you bought a Tesla"
"But my old car needs gas."
"Yes, but this is a Tesla it's electric it doesn't need any gas."
"See? The gas tank is right there."
"But you don't need gas."
"How's about if I just pour the gas in the back seat?"

[Human Snorenado]

Apparently I looked so bitchy/depressed/whatever last night that even though I'm known around town for my surly disposition and general "glass is half-empty" attitude, multiple people felt the need to ask me if I was ok.

So, you know, I've got that going for me. Which is nice.

[Atramental]

Just shelved/scrapped a design I spent 70+ hours on. 

But... the new visual style I'm going with for the revision is soooo much better.

[Atramental]

Oh, and I deactivated Tinder for the 100th time.

Shit makes my anxiety spike like a motherfucker. Plus, I can't focus on anything when I have it active. It just kills my productivity.

[Cheddahz]

Trying to head to work this morning and my truck starts up, but it won't reverse whatsoever and I ended up having to ride my skateboard to work (and I was twenty minutes late, but thankfully nobody else was in it). I'm having one of my step-dad's friends to come over and look at it after he gets off of work, but I'm just hoping it's not a fix that is going to cost me me loads of money (cause I don't have the money right now)

 

[Kara]

Sorry Ched, you having some Karakand tier luck of late.

My party on Monday has a circulating email. It also said I accomplished a goal when my only goal in life is to die.

Does the shifter move into reverse at all?

I'm able to shift into reverse, but whenever I apply some pressure to the gas pedal, there's no movement whatsoever

Only way I could get there in time

 

[I'm a Puppy!]

Why am I always the last one to know when I'm on a project.

"Hey man, so I heard you're going to be leading this project"
"What?"

[Steve Contra]

My warehouse lost 50 cases of wine and instead labeled 50 cases of plastic gin mini bottles as my wine, which means a bunch of shady liquor stores around the bay have all my wine.

[Steve Contra]

Got sucked into a macro-econ debate on the WSJ comments section with people who seem to think the IS/LM model is Marxism

Just made supper for tomorrow and dropped the whole thing on the floor while putting it in the fridge.  Damn it.

You don't think Arvie has spares in his freezer already?

[Madrun Badrun]

But they take so long to thaw.   

[Phoenix Dark]

Arvie exhibits little of the rage (cold or hot) or vengeful nature/vindictiveness that you expect from a serial killer, he's just a weirdo.

Wouldn't that be in line with serial killers who only commit murder while in an altered state?

[Steve Contra]

Learning that long lost relatives are dumb racists

[Cheddahz]

tried to give one of the campus cops my ip address and they were like "nah, i believe it wasn't you"

i kinda want everyone to know it wasn't me, because i have been so damn uneasy since i got accused of everything tuesday and honestly, it really has soured my "college experience"

[jakefromstatefarm]

it's fun to peek at some distant relatives' facebook pages now and again. mostly for this reason.

People are gross, nasty complications with legs. Not having to deal with your cousins bullshit just because they're your cousin is awesome, wouldn't trade it for anything.

That feel I keep in touch with immediate family but don't bother with anyone else, but my mum is good at letting them know what im up to in general so it's kinda ok. Feel especially guilty re my step mum since my dad died, it's more that it brings up feels i have never really faced properly though.... And resentment she took everything he had and we didn't get shit.

[nudemacusers]

Nah

eh, depends on the family. most of mine are weird codependents or abusive assholes (good combo to be sure). thankfully my wife's family, well her mom's, is full of great people who often strongly disagree on matters of life etc but can still function like normal people.

I've spent more time with them in the last 7 years than my own

(Image removed from quote.) astute observation, friend. Have you read the new Dawkins yet?

I'm not wrong

[chronovore]

Boise Idaho is experiencing a cold snap so we had record snows, and now we have an inversion, which means we have no chance of the snows falling until next weekend. Shit.

[toku]

Man, snow is mad complicated huh?

[chronovore]

Yeah. We tried going out to the store today, and there is a very mild grade hill near by her house. We were cruising up it without much trouble, but when we stopped to safely merge, we couldn't get any traction to start moving forward again. The car actually rotated, slipping around on its center, which was pretty scary.

Coming back we realized it was going to be icy all the way down, so we were both pretending to be calm but secretly grinding our teeth in stress.

[Positive Touch]

fuuu I hate forgetting that I got family that follows me on Twitter. I put way too much on there that I'd never talk about irl. thankfully they have yet to bring any of it up at family stuff yet.

damn I can't even give you an L since you can't control who follows you. But Facebook? Don't friend them and say "I don't use Facebook that much."

Or Friend them and then Block them, or just use the Close Friends filter and make certain you control your privacy settings per post.

Piece of cake. 

And they said technology would make our lives "more convenient..."  :'(

[Rufus]

I've had a figurative lump in my throat for a week straight now. Fucking annoying.

[lennedsay]

Lost a friend to stomach cancer. She was fine in July, started feeling sick, diagnosed after a ton of tests, and died today. Feel horrible for her husband.

[Mupepe]

I'm so sorry, Len

[lennedsay]

Thanks guys... I think the worst part is that I knew her well, but don't really know anybody in her family or her other friends, so I don't feel comfortable going to the funeral, and didn't go to the hospital when she was alive. That's always such an awkward thing when her family is in such a vulnerable state to show up. I've been on both sides of that.

We took pilates classes together, and we would get to class 30-45 min early just to bullshit, talk about our dogs, talk about our awesome husbands, to be in awe that she looked 25 but was 40, etc. Then we'd stay after class to bullshit more. I'd visit her at her work, and she saw me through every single week of my pregnancy, more than my friends and most family. She was just a sweet, gentle, caring person that you couldn't help but love.

[Mupepe]

Well, I would say that if you feel like you need some sort of closure and the funeral would give that to you no one would look twice if you went. I'm sure she mentioned you to family and friends at some point so you wont be a stranger.

[nudemacusers]

very sorry to hear that. you have my condolences.

[I'm a Puppy!]

I'm sorry for your loss.

For what it's worth, my daughter's best friend died about a year or so ago and her friend's family almost exclusively only spoke Vietnamese. It was uncomfortable but since then the parents have told us on several occasions that my daughter being there really meant a lot to them.

[I'm a Puppy!]

In a work related struggle. The silliness as to "what extra project will puppy be working now?" continues.
Today I got a request from a client I've never had dealings with asking for me to fill out forms for a background check. Typically this means that someone's put me a project without telling me anything about it. I ain't filling out shit until someone tells me what the hell is going on.

[chronovore]

Sorry to hear that, Len. Man, 2014 is really overstaying its goddamned welcome at this point.

[Mr. Nobody]

My condolences, Len

Probability  of riots here is definitely  a thing

You're in MO right? Stay safe man

[Human Snorenado]

I'm sorry to hear that, Len.

If it were me, I would attend the funeral. And I would take the time to write a letter explaining what their daughter meant to you, and how her generosity touched people her family didn't know in ways it didn't know. They may appreciate that.

[Positive Touch]

ain't nobody trying to protest in west county 

[Phoenix Dark]

It's so cold I'm dreading leaving work (!) because I'll have to walk outside to my car.

[Positive Touch]

I got a heating pad for my car seat and it was the best decision I ever made

[Mupepe]

I'm getting heated grips for my bike next year.
