DGN Coffee house...

Ah. Okay, I didn't know how it worked, but I *thought* they did. From my years of ROTC, I know the military is really big on giving money for education.

That sucks though you got to pay up front. But it's better than nothing. I wouldn't have had to wait 10 years to get into school again if I could have gotten something like that.

Saddly enough, the army isn't really big on giving you money for anything. If you could work for free, with junk equipment, go to war with faulting rifles, and have no life insurance, they'd be down for that.

I am going to have to pay up front, all of I think over 4 or 5 grand, then wait for the VA *that's who I am going through* will ssssssssssslllllllllllllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwllllllllll

lllllllllllly give me back my money.

You actually have 13 years to use your college money through the Army, but that takes way more time to deal with than the VA. With the Army, you need to keep up on your PT tests, and actually showing up for drill. * I don't have a problem with showing up, I'm always early for drill*. With the VA, all you have to do is live through a year of War and you should be okay.

But right now, it's the whole "my parents paid my sister's way for 5 years for college at first Macomb for a year to get her basic courses down, then another 4 at CMU. PLUS paid for her appartment."

I see. That's icky ... but worth it. Paying out of pocket sucks, that's all I've ever been able to do. That's why it took me 10 years to get back to college.

I know what you mean about the last part, BTW.

Woke up.

Had teh sekz.

Took a shower.

Took a bath, read my book, while looking out the window at the snow w/ a cat or two sharing the windowsill.

Did dishes.

Made cranberry ranch salad dressing for dinner later (grilled turkey salads).

Made a hot turkey sammich w/cranberry sauce for lunch.

Ate my sammich while catching up on DGN.

Now I'm outta here and going to spend a snowy day on Second Life with the fabu new video card that gives me those brilliant crisp graphics I've been dreaming of for so long.

Mebbe l8r, "I am Legend" at the moovees w/ a big bukkit o' popcorn, hawt dawgs & a coke.

This has been the Critter Itinerary update. We now return you to your regularly scheduled cawphee hawse.

I thought I was feeling better.

I was wrong. My stomach is wicked upset. I've been on the couch since 745 this morning. I fell back alseep, but I don't know how much good that did.

I haven't even had the coffee i made this morning! But luckly, I bought Odims a coffee pot that keeps coffee hot for 20 hours. And it doesn't have a heater either!!

    • ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.

    • I'm glad  that yesterday's day at work is long gone now. There was a very strong unusual energy that I felt, and couldn't get done with the day fast enough. It wasn't  the job at all. I just felt like I really needed to keep my mouth shut, to keep me from getting in situation(s) that probably wouldn't have ended well for me.  
    • You can trust anyone you want.  The only question is whether or not they're deserving of that trust. No risk = no reward.  As such you have to let yourself be vulnerable sometimes and realize that all people will let you down eventually whether it's intentional or not.  The frequency that it happens is what's important.
    • Sorry, I don't check this as often as I should. Anyway document everything (although it sounds like @Trene4000already has been from her post.) It's okay to cry and break down, but not in front of them.  Never give them the satisfaction of seeing you crack.  If anything I'd go out of my way to piss them off, but I don't like being that guy either (and as such I'm not very good at it, except sometimes when I'm not intending to be.) I try to only help those whom deserve it, but that's often hard to judge.  Seeing how someone treats other people is a pretty good indicator of whether or not they're worthy.  Sociopathic narcissistic asshats are very much not worthy. I hope things are going well for you guys.
