    Did you have a device that has your stuff backed up or did you lose everything?

    The ball and socket area in my right pelvis might be getting worse. Everyone knows the Charlie Chaplin walk, right? Check YouTube if you don't.

    I used to do that effortlessly. My left leg can still turn but when I try with my right leg BAM like a nail being hammered in. I have difficulty trying to drive.

    My dad had a recent check up with his doc and they are trying to find alternatives to help with his left knee pain but it looks like he'll need a total knee replacement.

    I'm more concerned with my dad's well being than my own which is why if he gets the surgery, I have no problem taking care of him and I wondered if I will have something done in my pelvic bone some time in the next 5 years.

    Nothing like getting your last paycheck from the summer and it being $250+ less than you anticipated and being told you were making $20 less per day than you thought you were. -_-

    No wonder my paychecks were less than I expected these last few months, but I thought it was just due to taxes.

    I back up at least every other month just in case. Which reminds me I'm behind on that again, I better back up soon. I always do it before a trip or I take my laptop anywhere. It's a good habit to get into. I learned about not doing so the hard way back when I was in college.

    At least your safe and it didn't do any major damage.

    Yeah, it's hard to say how much luck we used up there. It's just unnerving to know we don't need a major weather system to have that scenario.

    Reminds me of when there was a microburst of high winds in my backyard when I was in high school. Took down trees and knocked out patio furniture into our pool. We were just lucky it didn’t bring down a tree onto our house.

    My kiddo broke his Switch last night. Whatever the hell possessed him to clean it... got water in it. Flew off the handle a bit. Just proves to me I can't tolerate anything anymore, even if it is a simple mistake. The fact that I can't replace it and that I can't keep my anger in check, those are the things that upset me the most. My inability and lack of resources to do things like such has taken its toll on me and I can't stand the way my life is going. I'm fed up with everything.

    In the middle of last night, I woke up from a pain jolt in my pelvis and had this sensation like I was urinating or internal bleeding in that area.

    My injury was 11 years ago. Is it even possible for a 35 year old man to get arthritis?

    Went to the Doctor on Friday and they had a technical glitch and things didn't go through and ended up waiting AN HOUR and in that hour had to hear a kind wailing like a banshee when they were taking blood and that messed up my blood pressure for sure and I get in there and the Doc tells me I need another medication to help keep my Blood Pressure down so that's something that has me deciding on what I need to start cutting out of what I do to focus on lowering my blood pressure naturally.



    Also got another item off ebay today that wasn't as described a G1 Smokescreen Reissue with a broken arm because the seller didn't transform it properly when putting it back in the package so that's another hassle and a headache to deal with getting a return done and if this is a terrible seller and have to go to paypal to get my money back I think I'll be done with ebay for certain things since this is the 3rd time in the last 2 months I've had a issue with items or sellers.

    Feels like all I gotta do these days is try to keep myself from having a meltdown over things and that's not good for my blood pressure at least I'm young enough that with proper medication and changes to diet/lifestyle that I can reduce my blood pressure and make sure it doesn't cause serious issues later in life.

    I generally dislike the "someone's got it worse than you" reply to a complaint. It seems like dismissive cold comfort and even cruel. But sometimes it has its place. Whenever you think you got it bad read the Joe Arridy article. This shit absolutely destroys me whenever I think aout it.

    Well, I turned in the last assignment for my statistics class today. It's going to be very close, whether I pass or fail, but I'm mostly just relieved to be done with all the work. It was so time consuming, to the point that I was spending the majority of my day working on it sometimes, only to still not get everything turned in at the end of the week. I hope I never have to take another math class in my life. Although if I do, I'm never taking another six week class.

    I miss my ex terribly today....at this moment anyway, which isn't any different from any day usually. I stumbled upon some pictures of her that I hadn't seen before, and she was happy. It's just such a shame all that happened between us and no way I can remedy any of it. I miss you, Douche Turtle....

    Deleted my earlier post. Had some companies look at it and it doesn't qualify for this thread. Me in general still qualifies but I don't like typing.:)

    Storms made our power flicker a bunch and I think a surge blew a circuit on my dryer's control board. Watched videos on taking dryer apart and sure enough Mine looks like those videos. A little ashy spot on the holding tray. I dont have the tools or know how to sodder it like I saw in videos and to replace the circuit is anywhere from 150-200 for the one I found on Amazon or more than that for what I found on repairclinic. Dont really have that money now. fml

    Jesus, what a day it has been.

    First, it was really hot today and since I was planning to record some videos, I turned on the air conditioning to cool down the apartment and learned the AC wasn't working. I finally got it fixed after an hour of playing around with various things switches and stuff in the apartment.

    Then, after I finally get to recording, my camera constantly stops recording with a message saying something like "SD write speed error" or something like that. I have no idea what the hell that even means, but sometimes I could get through 5 minutes before it happened, other times it was barely a minute. I ended up having to use my camera card to record my videos with. I still have no idea if it was just a glitch or something.

    Then my dinner goes wrong when I try to make it. Some of the ingredients are just not working according to the instructions and the packet of rice had no rice in it. -_-

    And just a little while ago, my couch took a dump in the center. Like literally. There is a huge mob of broken springs sitting on the floor beneath the couch where the cushion used to be. I tried to fix it and got a huge slice across my middle finger from it.

    WTF? Now we have to find a way to get a new couch without any funds to get one. We'll probably have to go to Rent a Center or something.

    Well, my house and my truck were both broken into yesterday. Bastards didn't have the decency to steal anything afterwards, funnily enough. Now I have to drive with a thoroughly broken windshield for a week because Safelite's booked solid.

    I am seriously on edge for no good reason right now, and thinking about how I'm going to scream if anyone else bothers me before 8 am tomorrow morning for sheer fucking bullshit like they did this morning and night. Its probably a hormonal thing on top of that.
