I finally pulled all the weeds in the front yard this weekend because the sprays never seem to work for long. I left a few patches of wildflowers and wild plants because they look nice, aren't weeds, and are flowering. My mom came out and decided to spray the gently caress out of the yard, resulting in her throwing out her back, so the rest of the weekend she spent in bed, on the couch, or barely able to sit at her computer, and because she woke up in the middle of the night to take some pain pills, she left the fridge door open and since it was open for several hours, all the food on the top shelf near the light bulb has melted, thawed, or is just no good anymore. gently caress, the milk is room temperature. I just went grocery shopping yesterday. My work opens an hour later today, but if I leave my house an hour later to get there or tried to sleep in, traffic would have made my 40 minute commute 90 minutes. So I have to drive in at standard time and wait in the parking lot for someone to open the loving door.

I'm having a new kitchen put in. That is good. I have to empty out my old kitchen, which is a massive hassle.

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:My girlfriend started smoking again and it's really annoying me that she did. Same here. She bought a couple packs while we were on vacation a couple weeks because, 'It's a vacation! I should be able to do what I want!' And then of course she had to finish the second pack she bought after we got home because otherwise it's a waste of money (  ). And since then she's bought another pack because she was out drinking with a friend, and she smokes, so of course she had to buy a pack to smoke with her, and then of course finish that pack throughout the week.And no, OBVIOUSLY, she couldn't just not smoke, because then she'd be all alone in the bar while her friend smoked outside... And no, she couldn't just bum a few cigs because she smokes a different brand ( ).

I got some surprise extra money and will use some of it to cover an expensive picture framing I had done. But I called the frame shop to check their hours and they're closed for the holiday. I really wanted to pay for the frame as soon as possible, because my resolve to hold off on a WiiU is wearing thin. I gotta spend one more day blocking out the siren song of the good Captain Toad. One... more... day...

I dislike seeing creases on my new iPad case when I fold it over so I can use it as a stand. I also dislike ebay sellers who opt not to give tracking info for items they ship out.Kaubocks posted:I'm having a hard time getting comfortable in bed. We all told you, now you must eat your words.

DrBouvenstein posted:Same here. Urgh, my wife does the same bullshit song and dance routine. She's always been a heavy smoker but every six months or so she decides to quit cold turkey which lasts for about two days before the nicotine cravings kick her rear end so she scales back to deciding to 'cut down' on her smoking. So she says she'll smoke X cigarettes a day until the pack runs out but then on the fourth or fifth day there's only Y smokes left in the pack so she's gotta buy a new pack to bring the number back up to X which then means she's compelled to smoke the rest of the second pack. Or she has a 'bad day' and is 'stressed' which means she needs to smoke half a pack or some other dumb, lovely reason why she can't quit and it's like, goddamn, I don't like that you're smoking yourself to death but just loving own it, admit you're a filthy addict and smoke as many damned cigarettes as you want instead of this dumb thing of pretending to try and quit and pretending to care about your health. gently caress. Current FWP: decided to try and take control of my credit card debt by getting a loan for the amount I owe on my card so I can pay off the balance without the interest eating half my repayments and only got approved for a loan less than 20% of what I owe on my card

EXAKT Science posted:Don't you have leverage you can use, being their boyfriends? As mentioned, there's only so much you can do if they don't wanna quit. It's irritating to me because the reason she gave is "I just don't have any willpower  " which is complete horseshit.She was doing really good with the vaping stuff for months, and while I didn't really like it either, it's leagues healthier above smoking as far as "needing to inhale stuff" goes. She just doesn't want to quit, and I can understand that, I just hate the stupid loving excuses she gives for it. If she'd just own up to it and go "I WANT TO SMOKE AND GET CANCER BECAUSE IT MAKES ME HAPPY" I'd be like "Well, ok then" but instead she's got a variation of reasons like no willpower, my parents are gone and I don't have anyone keeping me straight (which, bonus points they both died of cancer years ago), my job is stressful, etc, I'm just the boyfriend, not the husband, so there's only so loud my foot can speak once I have put it down. Plus I don't want to turn this into FWP e/n.

I only have one month of school left before graduating, which is awesome. But I am super depressed, borderline suicidal, and this will be the longest month of my life. Then I have to study for the bar exam for three months. Can't I just live out of my car and start a new life as a rootless hippie? My FWP is that my education has sucked away my will to live, ironically just as my professional life should be starting.

I lost internet for a day last week because the people putting up new siding had to move the ONT box the fiber comes into but whomever installed it in the first place for reasons beyond me or the tech stripped about 3ft of the hard plastic cover and spun the fragile fiber all around the back of the box so as soon as it was moved it snapped. Also means they have to bury the new wire.

I'm marathoning JoJo's Bizarre Adventure on Crunchyroll and every time the translator butchers a music reference by transliterating the Japanese transliteration of an English/latin script name instead of just using the original name it makes me irrationally angry. It's Bill Bruford, not Bill Blueford, rear end in a top hat.

I think some of that is to get around the potential copyright issues of having the exact same names as performers, like having Tom Petty be Tong-pheti, AC/DC be Esidisi, J. Geil be Centrefold, et cetera.

E: I want to post in the games forum too but it also goes too fast and it seems like I don't put in as much time into the games as everyone else does. Despite me having 100% and/or many MANY dozens of hours into the games. Where do people get this time to read forums AND game from? Thin Privilege has a new favorite as of 11:52 on Apr 12, 2015 |

Zeppeli and Esidisi are some of them, as are the other non-Santviento/Santana pillar men. For content: I hate buying off eBay because more often than not the seller won't opt to include tracking info so I'm at the mercy of time when it comes to getting my stuff.

Considering the "quality" of the rest of the translation, and also the existence of Guilty Gear(which is "Let's Name Everybody After Bands: The Video Game"), I'm not so sure. Some of them even switch around partway through episodes, like between Tarkus and Tarukus, or use the correct name in the episode description on the site and the butchered one in the episode, like Donovan/Donobang. The ones that are clearly to make them make sense as names or sound more "foreign" I don't mind though.

I've been the one in your girlfriends' position in the past, and while quitting is something that has to come from within, I always at least smoked less when my girlfriends would shame me for smoking. YMMV obviously.

I work seven days a week to make 25k a year in one of the most dangerous jobs in the country. Also, my roommate keeps leaving food all over the house then blaming my dog for getting into it. What's the difference if your three day old pizza moves from the coffee table to the floor when I'm picking it up anyways?

I bought a used Omega watch for a pretty good price on eBay (after a few beers) and forgot I'd have to pay import duty because it's coming from the US. I'll have to wait until later in the week for a phonecall asking me for £100+.
