Also, I need to get the fillings redone on my two front teeth (chipped from bike accident awhile back) since they are starting to disintegrate and cause a persistent sore on the tip of my tongue. Hopefully I can get actual crowns done once I upgrade my dental insurance at the end of the year.
Not to be a sore sport, but I've been dealing with the mother of all sinus infections since getting back from Roo two weeks ago. The doc wanted to hold off until now to prescribe antibiotics in order to let this miserable condition go away on its on (which it has NOT). He finally called it in this morning (along with prednisone to reduce inflammation) and I'll be dosing up this afternoon. Serenity NOW, insanity LATER!
I'm going to invest in a neti pot for Roo next year. Fuck getting sick!
I highly endorse neti pots/ saline rinses. I bring a few extra every year to give away

They're great! I'd definitely advise neti-noobs to start the routine before you have an issue. Once you're stuffed up it's a bit harder to "break through" and get things happy again.

I feel like you've been sick for far too long. I know so much about your sniffer.

Can I complain more? YES!
Hey! Twins! My two front teeth are half fake as well.
Property managers around here just decided that they do not need to work or answer calls from Friday to monday, so people moving on the weekends are forced into 200 dollar a night hotels. Half the houses I've looked at are now off the market...hell, one that was listed new 2 days ago was being moved into yesterday! I am more than a little stressed about the budget and living in a hotel room with 3 kids is no fun. Hopefully this nightmare will end soon.
On the upside, the 40 minute firework display at 11:20 last night (still daylight) was pretty freaking awesome!
My in-laws are f*cking crazy. After a few days at a beach vacation, one of them shows up and is livid that I'm here taking up a spot in this house. Nevermind that my wife is here and her aunt and uncle personally invited me. Nevermind she showed up with 4 people that weren't invited and didn't have a room for.
I ended up sleeping on the deck because I couldn't take all the fighting.

I don't know if I'm being overly sensitive or a drama queen. It's hard to tell anymore. But here I am with a truck rented for Saturday to move my furniture, and I put out something on Facebook asking for local volunteers to help load the truck....offered food, beer, etc. Not a single one of my late husband's family or friends has volunteered. I just think that's odd - considering how I've taken care of so many ill family members and have never had an issue with any of his friends. I guess it's just convenient for everyone to compartmentalize it as if I am not longer a member of the family. Maybe it's easier for them to deal with it that way. I honestly can't figure out another explanation.
I have gone ahead and hired a crew of movers, and might be better off that way anyway, but I guess this shows why I need to get the hell out of ATL.

you know, I would still welcome any of them to the lake. Well, maybe except the one brother in law who has tried to rip me off. These people have been a part of my life for 27 years. It's not a on/off switch in my mind. Maybe I need to think of it that way, but I'm just not wired to do that.

OK, rant completed. Upward and onward!
I can empathize. After my stepdad died last year, his side of the family (parents, siblings, etc) all but completely cut off contact with ours. Then half a year later they had the nerve to ask my brother and sister for help moving. My mom was absolutely livid - for good reason, I suppose, though personally I'm in the "let go and move on" camp. It may hurt, but it's most likely not personal. And if it is...fuck 'em, they don't deserve your awesomeness.

Shit's cold at 5 AM.
Not at all suggesting its OK for people to act that way, but I'm curious if the one showing up with a bunch of friends is the son/daughter of the owner of the house...
No. It was a rental. It's a long drawn out extremely southern story of "she's not related by blood but marriage". It was just bad news all around. I'm glad to be home and sleeping on my own porch.
if I didn't have children, I could understand the reaction better.
The whole "blood is thicker than water" phrase is a bunch of BS. At the end of the day, a strong interpersonal relationship is what makes people stick around. I have plenty of family that have no interest in being involved (and frankly, I feel the same about some of my family). On the other hand, I have some "distant" family that is much closer to me than any second cousin because we grew up together in close proximity and see each other a lot. The whole idea of being "obligated" to another person merely by genetics is strange to me. I think its better to look for the people that are willing to be there for you when you need them most - blood related or not.
i totally agree. until 2 years ago, though, i thought i had strong interpersonal bonds with his family and friends. sometimes i guess in a situation like this the true colors really come out.

That sucks! And you know that if we lived closer my hubby and I would totally help.

I have no idea what happened but something went wrong with my iTunes and now a TON of music that I added relatively recently is missing. Some things got moved around and some things are just totally gone. What the fuck!?!?!?!?! Goddamn this sucks. I have a majority of the stuff that is still listed in my library but showing "file missing" but there's a bunch of stuff I've added in the past year that is just totally gone. Damn....this is going to be a long process of rebuilding and adding back in the more recent stuff I've got. I'm just so upset cuz there's no way to really tell what is missing until I start digging around my folders.

Arg! All my rap and other artist discographies. Jay-Z and Kanye and others.....missing from itunes. The files still exist but such a bitch to know that I have to add them all back in again.

Did you move any folders around recently? I did that once and had to tell iTunes where to find the music to fix the problem

The only major change/update I did was update the drivers on my video card but I don't see why that would have any effect. It's weird, I opened iTunes and it asked me where the library was located which it never does (and I've been really good about keeping my entire library and files organized after losing a hard drive a couple years back) and then it just sort of said that I'm missing a bunch of files (though they are located in the folders and I have to select them individually to find them) and just in general a TON of stuff I've added over the last year (or more) is missing from the iTunes library. A lot of the downloads and things I still have and the files are there but I have to re-add them but the CD stuff I've imported looks like it never made an mp3 file (which I don't understand) in the iTunes library folder.
I'm just really pissed about this. I've been really careful with my music library for a while. No clue what went wrong.

ugh...this is so depressing....the more I look to see if it's missing (and has to be re-added) the more I keep finding. Now I know what I'm doing this weekend....
Post by itrainmonkeys on Jul 9, 2014 0:13:00 GMT -5
At least I am lucky that I've had Google Play and Plex Media Server basically create a backup of the library so I can compare the two when looking into what needs to be re-added. Going to take a while and be annoying but it is what it is.
