I hate hangovers, especially when you have to go to work when having one.

It is the problem with right wing reactionaries. They are always the victims and everyone always needs to understand how right wing straight white men 'feel'.

Ugh.

I find that families that don't try to force get-togethers because religious and political differences always colour the event can actually get along better. In any event, this year, I think there are millions of people who are trying to give family and friends a pass to spend a quieter reflective Christmas without it being tainted by the sure-to-happen political conversations.

My brother is a Libertarian but comes off a bit more right wing than anything else.

People who return pets for no other reason then they didn't want it, shouldn't be able to have pets. Someone returned a cute little Hamster and I just don't understand how someone can so easily return any kind of pet like that.

I bet all the hillbillies are after one of these to go under the tree.

They really DO love the guns in America.

Cyclists are a dumb lot! Why don't they think they have to follow the rules of the road. Today I saw not one, not two, but THREE cyclists texting while riding along University Ave. Many just blow stop signs and red lights at will, yet people wonder why so many die on the streets. Message to cyclists: Do not challenge cars, you will not win.

Here in The Netherlands the cyclist will almost always win the lawsuit.

Apping during cycling, however, is supposed to become banned sometime in the near future.

Discussed ideas for the final degree project with a study advisor this afternoon and got seductive vibes from that woman. I met her for the second time and she continued giving me these interesting looks and was cheking something down there. Not that I complain, but it was quite a weird experience. Blushed me a bit to say the least.

Cyclists can go from vehicles to pedestrians whenever it's convenient for them. Most cyclists I've encountered also have a huge sense of entitlement; they feel entitled to break the rules, such as cutting in front of cars, riding 0.00001 Km/H in the middle of the driving lane, riding between lanes of stopped cars, running red lights, and just generally disrupting traffic.

Cyclists usually reply to comments like mine with "BUT CARZ DUE IT 2!" (as if that makes it OK for them to do it), but the difference is that when a motorist does it, they know they're doing something wrong and they'll get pulled over and ticketed for it. Cyclists can get away with it because their rules aren't enforced, and they feel entitled to do it. They'll say it's because their bikes are small and "won't hurt anyone", but I'm not slamming on my brakes and honking because I'm worried about my car getting damaged, I'm doing it because I don't want to hit and injure someone.

Cyclist do that because otherwise their speed becomes so slow they never get anywhere. Not saying that´s good or fair.

I buy a pair of nice gloves via amazon, put them on and the stitching around the first (and only glove worn) thumb rips before it's quite on yet. Now I get to shop it back for a refund and all return options have are the various ways you may 'print your own label'. I also need to make some sort of food, I should thaw something. My head hurts. Oh! And both my coats broke, one zipper, the other buttons. Can't fix the zipper one anytime soon (heavy duty zipper), but the buttons are in dire need n'can be resewn. At least there's that, because it's getting to be 'really need a coat' weather.

Two weeks before Christmas, we got word that three families we know each lost a teenaged son to death. Three in one week!!
Then Christmas Eve day a good friend of ours was released from the hospital to go home on hospice to die. There are just no words of comfort for any of them, just hugs and our presence as they need us. Having it all happen at Christmas time makes is somehow more awful.
How we need to be sure to love one another. We just never know.

Sixthson,
It has been a hellacious year for unexpected deaths all around.

 

[MakeDigitalLove]

Even though it has been a shitty week because of being sick and is the second day I am losing a work day, our move is pretty much set and we will be out of NJ at the end of January.
