    I tried to pre-order an item through Target.

    Kept receiving an error message during checkout.

    Used the message us function, was told to call a one triple eight number to no avail.

    Looked up the customer service number which was a 1-800 number.

    Spelled out my email three separate times was told they could find no account with that email.

    And yet my PayPal account says I will be charged when Target completes the order.

    PayPal only gave me a reference number to which they could not find anything when I spoke with Target customer service.

    The charge was stated as pending.

    The pre-order is now sold out:banghead:

    This probably doesn't belong here really, but I've been thinking a lot about my life and the things it it that suck, and how it's not as bad as it seems. Like, to avoid too many details, my mom broke her arm a few months back when she fell. That sucked, but she easily could've hit her head instead (she fell down concrete steps) and that would've been much worse. Or like how sometimes my job is really stressful with lockdown going on, but at the same time at least I still have one, which going off of the many closed businesses around us is becoming less common.

    I've never been a glass-half-full kind of person, but I've never been especially glass-half-empty, but sometimes things that seem bad are more like reminders of what's good. The negative space just calls to attention everything around it, y'know?

    My mom says she loves me but I think it's bullshit. Today she took me to the grocery store to buy some things. After I pick up some fried Chicken, she says why are you getting that? Me: to eat. Her: you don't need it. Me: it's for dad and myself. She: you still don't need it. Me: it's not a question of needing it's what I WANT! Are you gonna eat it? She: no. Me: exactly so stay out of it.

    She kept questioning of what I'm buying and I just wanted to tell her to fuck off. Always questioning where I get my cash, I have to tell her constantly it's my money, I do what I want with it and I don't need your permission. Several times we have this argument and several times she left me at the store. It's not too far from my house but my pelvic bone never healed right and I limp as I walk and I get self-conscious of people looking at me thinking I'm walking this way because I'm fat. Even though I am down to 243 pounds and stand 6 feet tall.

    The pain hits me hard and a couple of times she circles back to say she'll take me home. I just told her to fuck off. Every time I make it home. I collapse and unable to stand for a day. Today I collapse 4 times at the store because I needed to go at the morning and she took me at 7pm. My right hip and right leg were hurting me badly and she argued with my dad and I was completely stressing out from both of them and just screamed for them to just shut the fuck up.

    I'm trying to remain positive and preparing to find a way to go to college but everything gets to me and I expressed myself of what I was thinking on a piece of paper and after i ran out of space I left some small blood marks on it

    I did try to commit suicide recently and failed and after today, I don't know what to do and I determined my other sister hates us all which is heart breaking for my dad.

    This mental pain is just pure torture and I've been battling this for 20 years this year.

    January 23, my work got hacked. We're a Fortune 200 company, so it was a huge deal and we're still slowly digging our way out of having our entire global network shut down. Yesterday I was told we're going to a seven-days-a-week, ten-hours-a-day schedule indefinitely until we can get caught up on our ever-growing backlog of work.

    And I have a 25-hours-a-week part-time job on top of that.

    So yeah, goodbye sleep, goofing off on this site, goodbye to a lot of things. Hope this doesn't last long.

    My problems are a mix of business and personal matters. Out in the pasture I'm about to lose another eight month old calf suffering from weather fatigue and stress from parasites. I struggled to get her standing today before the rain came in, and know from the smell about her she won't last through the weekend. It'll be my 16th calf lost since October.

    The personal problem is my brother and father got my hopes up about a woman. Supposedly she works at the grocery store up the road and they've spoken to her multiple times, without ever once mentioning I exist. After taking the hint to go and "meet her" for myself, multiple times, under the guise of 'picking something up to make for dinner,' I never see her. Even before they told me she worked there, I'd been going to the store and never once seen her.
    This isn't the first time something like this has happened and makes me feel like I got set up for failure again. The store is closing for a pending rebranding, which means going to an empty grocery store for the sake of talking to a cashier feels like stalking.
    ...yet this is the Internet and my brother supposedly became friends with her on Social Media, which I don't subscribe to and don't want to break boundaries in that regard even though I now know her name and face.

    Can I just say that today is weird? Like nothing has sucked at all today. In fact, today has been pretty damn good. Why am I posting in this thread you ask? Because, today has been so good that I keep waiting for that kick in the groin moment to emerge.

    It's been a month since my car was taken to the body shop and neither they nor my insurance will give me any details on why it's taking so long. They just keep telling me they're waiting on parts.

    What parts? How long will they take? Is the car unable to operate without them? Is the body shop going to make my car payment since they have the car and I dont?

    Follow up on yesterday; not only did the calf I expected to lose end up needing to be euthanized since the vultures found her before I did, but I discovered a second calf who drowned in her sleep.

    They're just young. Sometimes (maybe all the time) it just takes getting out there on your own and a taste of cold, hard reality to really wake up, as all of them will.

    (Newest stimulus coming is just a kickback to special interests, anyway. It was going to happen one way or another.)

    Agreed, at some point, you will be slammed with cold hard reality. At that moment you are given the most important choice of your life.

    Will cower to the agents of agony in our world, or will you stand up and continue walking forward?

    It seems simple but is one of life's greatest challenges.

    I know how you feel. I was involved in a accident back in December 28th. There were 4 cars involved including me. I was not at fault. My damaged car has been park ever since. I can still drive it, but l am still waiting to hear from the insurance who represents the driver at fault. I have sent pictures of the damage to my car. I have no idea why it is taking so long. I believe they are trying to rip me off. I have been involved in accident before and everything was settle in less than two weeks. If l do not hear from them by the end of this month, l will go and consult with a attorney.

    This morning in class I got news that a friend I shared Math class with in 11th grade has passed away. She was popular and a really sweet person, really sucks how suddenly she left this world.

    I'd hate to sound overdramatic or anything, but her passing reminded me of how short our time on this world can be. Life can seem unfair life for some of us. God will call some of us to come home to Him earlier than we might expect, but no life will ever be a life wasted no matter how short. Life is probably the most beautiful blessing we'll ever get. There's no beautiful blessing than the chance to make friends, find love, get married, have children, and die with loved ones by your side.

    This pandemic can seem hard. I mean I hate it too. I hate this Groundhog Day-like loop of being locked up inside for 10 months and counting. But I never realized until today how lucky I am that despite how dull and boring my life under COVID, I am still alive and healthy.

    Live your lives well. Cherish your lives. You never know when it'll be over. So enjoy the ride no matter how bumpy it gets.
