Thinking everyone needs to be careful this weekend.  Depending on the track of the storm we may get as little as 2 inches of snow or more than 6 inches.  Time will tell so everyone please be careful a

It's O.K. Since this site literally helped me through A LOT of stuff, I suppose I may be a bit more loyal to it than most. That and the fact that all my friends hang on DGN...

People really need to fucking grow up and stop all the high school bullshit. Seriously act your damn age, not like a 2 year old who didn't get their fucking way.

I think this is very annoying. I have over 100 emails from Facebook asking me if I know a bunch of random people. I figured if I wanted to find people that I know and knew they had a Facebook account, there is a good chance I might have added them by now... :blink:

I hate it when I'm in an ambulance and manage to gasp "I can't breathe" only to have the stupid paramedic say something like "yes, you can" or "you had to breathe in order to say that". What we are really saying is "I'm having trouble breathing, get off your fat :censored: and help me!" We just don't have enough breath to say it.

I say we because I've met others who have experienced this.

I find it disturbing that the confused menagerie of noise coming from my neighbor's house was one of two things...it was either:

1. Something classified as music

2. A bunch of people arguing

Sadly, due to the lack of instrumental accompaniment, one may never know... :blink:

I wish I wasn't so driven by taste. I love multiple flavors. I try so hard to control that but it is hard. I've been told its all a matter of controlling mind but I don't think so. There's something more than that. I need to learn how to control my appetite. Here's hoping for success.

Are you sure they weren't trying to tell you that being controlled by the drive to eat was a matter of controlling the mind and thus controlling the actions of the body? As living beings, we are driven by taste. It is an art form we have been trained in since birth. You rarely hear someone say how they got to be so overweight by eating some gosh awful gruel...but they just couldn't help themselves... :wink

In my case, it goes back to an incident when I was much younger. It was the first time I had ever experienced such severe hunger pain. I was helpless to change my situation, also lacking money. So it's a double whammy for me. Never ever wanting to be that hungry ever again nor being unable to purchase what I want or need. It is extremely difficult to change my mindset for either.

Totally understandable.

After I found myself with a certain unwanted addiction, it took many months of self-discipline, prayer and meditation to give myself the strength needed to overcome and surpass something I considered to be a major obstacle so I applied this form of concentration to my lifestyle to help maintain a level of stability and control over how I viewed my place in my surroundings.

I know completely changing ones perception of how they view themselves and their interactions is not an easy thing nor is it everyone's cup of tea, but it is food for thought... :happy:

      How Are You Feeling? (cont'd)

      By TronRP · Posted

      I am currently floored.   FedEx did a massive 6 box delivery to the wrong address.  I had an autoship order scheduled to arrive before this past weekend.  Nothing showed up.  I contacted the order site and they had a link for the order...a photo of all my boxes thrown in the snow and up the sidewalk of a residence that was not mine.   You would think that at some point, the driver would have looked at the delivery address after they kept throwing box upon box at this location with no shelter from the elements.  They didn't even knock on the door to inform the residents that massive 65+ pound boxes were left all over their walkway.  Nope.  Just dumped them, took a photo as they were walking away and left.   I wonder what the person who found all of those misdelivered boxes must have been thinking when they saw them.  Maybe they kept everything to use, distribute or sell.  No idea.  No claim was filed on that end as of yet.   Fortunately for me, one of the sites that I ordered from, replaced everything at no extra cost.   Unfortunately, now I'm concerned for the other items yet to be delivered.   Needless to say, I'll be watching my notifications like a hawk.

      ~~~~~ 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.
