Joys And Sorrows

Sorrow: I got my car fixed but my mechanic without consulting me is charging me $417. I have $250 in my checking account.

I hate being poor.

I'm not sure you can legally render a service without the customer's permission, especially if you're being paid. Check your local laws.

Joy: I think the humidity is clearing up some

Sorrow: The little prongs that hold in my charging cord for my phone have stopped holding it in. I don't know if it's them or something in the charging port of my phone.

It's most common that it is the usb cable, check with someone else's. if it works, its the cable. If not, its likely the phone.

Deske · Post by **Deske** » Thu Jul 09, 2015 5:24 pm

It's definitely the cable, I just looked at the connector and the little hooks are almost flush.

Joy : I've been here for over a year now!

Sorrow: We left a mess in the shop that I'll have to clean up in the morning...

Sorrow: I think I pushed earwax into my ear while cleaning it since my right ear feels blocked.

Instead of these, try these. I've heard of people go see doctors for these kinds of things if it gets too impacted.

Sorrow: I think Anthrocon's going on right now.

My car dealership makes customers sign a paper that asks if you want the mechanic to alert you if the services rendered will cost over a certain amount.

I don't know if this is a state requirement, or just something Toyota (or even just this dealership) does.

Joy: I think I finally got the earwax out!

Deske · Post by **Deske** » Mon Jul 13, 2015 1:16 pm

Sorrow: Dogs got out.
Joy: Caught them.
Learned: I can out sprint my dogs. Probably because they are small.

Joy: I have my air conditioner in!

Sorrow: For the first time in my whole entire life, I felt like not wanting return back home. I reached back to find a house in shambles and disarray, my mum's two cats covered in mange and is pretty much neglected in terms of health, the backyard having more graves of dead kittens and... it's not the home I know. I dunno, my home has always been a constant in my tumultuous life, but even that has changed for the worse. I'll have to clean this house, and the cats... I dunno. Vetcare is expensive here, and I'm only here a week. No money, no time.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Tue Jul 14, 2015 4:21 am

I'm so sorry, Kuro. *hugs* I wish I could do something to help.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Tue Jul 14, 2015 3:01 pm

So sorry for everything. You have my condolences about everything.

Czukay · Post by **Czukay** » Tue Jul 14, 2015 3:22 pm

You have my sympathy. I hope that things get better somehow...

Goforit · Post by **Goforit** » Wed Jul 15, 2015 2:27 am

I'm sorry to hear that, Kuro! I really hope things will get better for you soon, buddy.

Sorrow: friend from abroad visiting my home to see this part of our country leaves tomorrow morning.
Joy: I'll see him again in ten days when I leave to go back to school/sort out apartment for said school. X3

I can relate. my grandfather's house, where I was born and raised in with my mother, had to be moved out a few years back. when I came back last year to see how it was, it was vandalized. windows smashed, backyard loaded with grass, and pets using the whole yard as a personal toilet. it was horrible =(

Joy: Job isn't as stressful these days. Though that seems to be the downer these days as well, so it's not a perfect joy.

Therolyn · Post by **Therolyn** » Thu Jul 16, 2015 1:17 am

Sorrow: I'm just in one of those moods where I'm feeling sort of bored and not wanting to do anything, but at the same time I feel a bit depressed. One of those days where I just go "Meh" about anything and everything to myself. Its not a good way to feel because its surprisingly hard for me to pull from it.

kurowolfe · Post by **kurowolfe** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 8:47 am

Small joy: A little happy with life haha

deepskycyan · Post by **deepskycyan** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 10:38 pm

Joy: well, I picked the worst time to return to the forums because now I'm leaving again! But this time on a short vacation to Macau and only for two days :p

Joy: I start my new job on the 27th.

Sorrow: I still need to move and get my power hooked up.

That's cool. Europe must be great. Go a hundred km in any direction and your in an exotic new land. You can go anywhere by train there.

Sorrow: My uncle had a heart attack.

Joy: He is recovering fine.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sun Jul 19, 2015 2:16 am

Sorry to hear about your uncle Douglas. I will pray for him.

Cesco · Post by **Cesco** » Sun Jul 19, 2015 2:36 pm

I wish all the best for your uncle, Douglas.

Yeah, trains system here is just great and works really well.

Anyway, it's a bit expensive if you don't have a subscription.

I don't know, probably not.

Sorrow: I finished Kill la Kill...

It was so good, I can barely form complete sentences about it.

My condolences. I hope he stays healthy afterwards.

Joy: My cousin came to visit from Alberta. Him and his brother dropped in to surprise me. We might play some Baldurdash!

mitel · Post by **mitel** » Tue Jul 21, 2015 3:05 am

It's good to be back. I have a lot to be sharing...

Sorrow: A few days ago my girlfriend and I broke up. At first I brushed it off, looking forward to better times... but the gravity of the situation keeps piling on. I constantly feel like she's angry at me for something and I'm just not catching her cues. She's said she hasn't and I should trust her but... there have been cues... worrying cues. I don't know what to do. I feel like I'm ruining everything we worked so hard to build. Of course, she'll move on without me. I know it. But I don't know about myself.
Worse: We were supposed to meet in August. Unfortunately, my only way down was pushed into the middle of September... right in the middle of school. Combine that with this whole conundrum I'm facing... I may never see her face-to face. I find that deeply saddening.

Sorrow: Had a big fight with my mom the other day. Nothing physical, but worrying all the same. I don't want to be near her for a while.

Sorrow: My dad broke a rib and his collarbone in a bike accident. He's doing alright for himself, and I've gotten the privilege of sticking around his house for the past weeks to help him out. Or procrastinate, as normal. At least it keeps me out of Mom's house.

Joy: I managed to break 10,000 ranks on osu!mania. My current rank is #8,316.

Joy: For the past few weeks I've been helping run a roleplay chatroom. It's been quite fun.
Sorrow: It will be hard to leave it when summer is over... hopefully they can pick up the slack.

ED: More sad for you.

Sorrow: I've been having food issues. I'm sick of eating most of the things I usually like, but I've been picky for so long.

Sorrow: Around two months ago I suddenly became very, very aware of my body. I've been average weight for years, but suddenly I feel like something just isn't right. The work I've been doing recently has slimmed me down and replaced the flab with at least a thin layer of muscle... I still don't feel attractive enough.

...This hasn't been the best of summers. No, not really.

Post by **Serence Frostbite** » Tue Jul 21, 2015 4:55 am

sorry to hear that mitel , best wishes ti you and I hope things will be the for you in the future , who knows , maybe you won't be too busy after summer like you would've expected

I've known people who've had heart attacks in their 20s. I mean blockage-type heart attacks. They can happen to seemingly healthy people, too, and out of nowhere.

Sometimes, you never know.

She might've been cheating on you. A long time ago, I was setting up a meeting with an LDR. Less than a month before we were supposed to meet, she told me she had gotten pregnant by another man, and was going to marry him.

Yeah, that didn't help my anti-social tendencies at all.

I have another female friend who didn't find out she was being cheated on by a boyfriend until after she broke up with him.

All you can do is try to get over it and move forward.

Something I've dealt with my entire adult life. Currently, I'm in the best shape of my life, but I still get self-conscious about my body. (Probably because I'm at peak shape at 35.) Try not to let your body image get you down. The best people for you will tend not to care about what you look like.

Cheer up, it'll always get better.

Joy: Got my braces off today. Now my mouth feels odd, like it's smooth or something.

What are having braces like anyway?
