Inflation sucks.
HoA keeps going up every year.
Property tax keeps going up by 2% every year valuing my place valuing my place at way more than I bought it 6 years ago and paying taxes on that higher amount, meanwhile by the time I sell it who knows if it'll have dropped in value, so I'll have paid increased taxes on an increased value of property that I never got the benefit of.
Health insurance premiums and deductibles go up every year.
etc...
Even Carls Jr now costs $10 for a burger/fries/drink combo wtf, I had to check my receipt when I got one the other day for the first time in a while. I remember when a fast food burger/fries/drink combo was like $5/6. At least Taco Bell & In-N-Out are still cheap.

It's like, nothing's changed but now this year's expenses will cost like $1,000 more than last for no reason and it happens every year, so it's like unless you make more money each year, you just end up with less money each year because everything else keeps going up. Kinda annoying.

This house is over 100 years old and perfect for enjoying rain on the window. But last night there was a storm and it sounded like the windows in my bedroom were gonna burst. Haven't slept well because I kept waking up. It was real fuckin loud. 😭

As a kid, I used to live in a house with old, draughty windows. Light rain would sound like someone was crinkling a plastic bag. The one time I caught it I was genuinely afraid to get out of bed and inspect what was making the noise, since I was convinced it came from the corner of the room I couldn't see.

That can lead to a different kind of burn you won't get rid of so easily.

Ugh I have a piece of rice lodged in my throat in just the wrong spot and I have to poop but if I do I’m probably going to throw up at the same time because that rice has me on the edge now.

Anecdotal I know, but high sierra has been a disaster on every computer I have tried to install it on. Bugs, crashes, software incomparability. Had to completely wipe and recover my sister's laptop. Shit was not ready for prime time. I'd argue the same for ios11, nothing but problems on my iphone. Worst os updates ever.

iOS 11 installed gloriously on my old 5S and iPad Air 2, and then sent my iPhone 6 straight to the seventh level of hell, otherwise known as Restore Mode.

I'll hold off on 10.13… thanks for the warning.

My big horror movie + game party started at 2pm and no one's showed up.

I invited like everyone I know in Boston.

This is my first self-hosted party too.

Oh well, more appetizers and beer for me!

I think the central heating (gas) in my appartment is breaking down

My boiler is making weird metallic sounds, temperature is skyrocketing to the point that an error appears on the display. The boiler shuts down for moment and restarts again and than everything works normally again until shit repeats itself.

Shutting down the radiators in my rooms seems to help keeping those errors to a minimum. But shutting down the whole system ain't an option because it's also heating my water. I sure hope I survive the night without the boiler blowing up in my face until I can reach my landlord tomorrow morning

Lost a filling last night and my dentist doesn't have an available appointment to fix it until next week $:-\$

nachobro · « **Reply #4289 on:** October 11, 2017, 03:21:07 PM »

A big piece of the tooth fell out when I was eating lunch. I think this is now a full struggle

On the plus side someone cancelled so my appointment got moved up to today.

Same for me, I thought i was gonna have a heart attack when i spit out a piece of tooth. My most common nightmare come to life. Only an hour til the appointment, my poor mouth

nachobro · « **Reply #4292 on:** October 11, 2017, 04:24:50 PM »

Just a piece. The original cavity from a decade ago was on the side of the tooth and when I bit on it after the filling came out i guess a bit of it caved in or something? I looked at it in the mirror and it's not as nightmarish as I imagined but I'm still pretty upset

nachobro · « **Reply #4293 on:** October 11, 2017, 04:31:54 PM »

I used to have a lot of teeth issues. Once I stopped drinking sugar soda I've not had any issues with them until now.

desert punk · « **Reply #4294 on:** October 11, 2017, 04:38:31 PM »

Hope it's not too expensive to fix it $:-\$

I've never really had problems with my teeth either tho I think that could change when I get older.

nachobro · « **Reply #4295 on:** October 11, 2017, 07:30:14 PM »

At the dentist I really didn't get a ton of help yet. The appointment I got was short since it was someone's cancelled exam but he looked at the tooth and said that there was a decent amount of decay on it so he was unsure of what would have to be done until it was cleaned out. But he said it might be a crown, a root canal and crown, or they'll just pull it if the decay is under the gum line. If they pull it I probably won't get anything to replace it since its the furthest back tooth on the bottom left of my mouth. So I'm scheduled for the cleaning and starting whatever procedure they'll do tomorrow after work. $:-\$ As far as price he said a crown would be about $1000 but my insurance would cover half. If it ends up being an extraction, it'll be free for me, and like $35 for the cleaning.

On the positive side he took a look at the rest of my teeth and those are all healthy with no issue, so once I get this one fixed up I'll be as good as new.

It had more to do with what was in the email and not so much the blue light coming off of my screen.

edit: Also, as a graphic designer, using flux is very counter productive.

I was going to explain why switching back and forth didn't work out for me (after using flux for more than a week) but I have better things to do with my time than arguing with a 30 y/o virgin on a video game forum that bases his self worth on likes.

You ain't gotta tell me. I had to pick a relative up from the airport at midnight and was up with tooth pain most of the rest of the night. Luckily for me my boss is out for the rest of the week. Of course my reward for surviving the work day is someone drilling in my mouth for an hour $:-\$

Takuan · « **Reply #4304 on:** October 12, 2017, 04:09:31 PM »

I'm picking up my new ride Saturday morning, but have to drop my current lease off at another dealership. Apparently, I have to make an appointment for this but the lease manager hasn't called me even though I left a voice message. I bet he doesn't even get in until the afternoon, or doesn't work Saturdays.

I guess I could just pick up the new whip and drop the old one off afterward, but that's a change to my vision. This day is the worst. $:-\$

Actually, I can't do that since I need the plates from the current car. THE WORST!

You got carded for beer? Do you look like a baby?

Mupepe · « **Reply #4308 on:** October 13, 2017, 07:59:08 AM »

A lot of places here card as a regular policy no matter what. I still get carded at a lot of places and they barely look at it. Just for show because when I was 17 I was able to buy beer without getting carded because I looked much older. Police have really cracked down on it.

Valkyrie · « **Reply #4309 on:** October 13, 2017, 09:07:36 AM »

When I had my first job (at a grocery store, which sells beer/light stuff you can drink when you're 18+) I carded a woman who turned out to be 35. She said it was the best day of her life. Probably still talks about it.

Huff · « **Reply #4310 on:** October 13, 2017, 09:34:34 AM »

Ha that's actually part of the problem. I can't remember the last time I was carded and had to take out my drivers license. So no idea where or when I might have lost it.

Brehvolution · « **Reply #4311 on:** October 13, 2017, 09:40:02 AM »

I got carded to buy a lighter once in my late 30's. That's not even a law.
