That is a TERRIBLE thing to do to a Rambler.  That car was a CLASSIC.

My daughter just had a similar experience to the one that generated my butthurt.

A friend of 4 years has decided that she is scorn-worthy, for no readily apparent reason.  I suggested that she merely stop talking to the person.

Someone who views you in contempt or as a means to an end is not a friend.

Similar situation that precipitated my foster-daughter's attempt at self-destruction.

Wait.  What?

It's been a strange day. My foster kid attempted suicide at around 4am last night so I spent my morning in the ER. Right now she's OK, who knows what the future holds?

QuoteAnd the girl who decided to dump her as "best friend" has already done the same thing to a string of other girls, generally the moment they decide they are no longer interested in being told what to do and covering for her shit.

Yeah, this girl that has Keelin pissed off doesn't even have primate games as an excuse.  Just plain old mean-spiritedness.  She got Keelin to confide in her about something that had Keelin mad, and then smiled at her and told her to "stop whining".

Which seems to me to be borderline suicidal.  Keelin, though, is a good person and just walked away and hasn't had contact with her since.

Smart kid. Walking away is the only way to handle people who pull stuff like that.

Oh, shit.  How is she?

Up and down. No permanent physical damage. But, yeah, this is why I'm basically telling everyone who wants a piece of my time or energy that they can wait a while.

Sorry to hear it Nigel, glad she's alright-ish.

I decided to crack a joke on my Microbiology homework.

Or maybe I'm just tired:

5. What about those new drugs Jack has heard about on TV? Can his girlfriend take those and
cure herself? Or at least avoid infecting him? Give some detail. 
There is no cure for herpes. The drugs help reduce the risk since they suppress outbreak of lesions and reduce healing time, but as noted before, she can still infect him even if she is asymptomatic. She probably wants those drugs anyway. I don't imagine that anyone enjoys having scabs on their stuff, never mind what Jack thinks about it. That's probably why people are always riding bikes or jogging in those commercials. Either way, they help. Not 100%, and Jack may need to get a prescription too at some point, but the risk is reduced.

I managed 10 hours last night.  It was pretty amazing.  I didn't get any sleep after my all night shift, which isn't normally the case.  So, by 10pm, I basically fell unconscious the moment I got into bed.

I was in bed by 7 PM, but then anger and 2 AM.

7 hours is decent.  It's more than I normally live on.

Also, video didn't upload yesterday.  It was like 2300 and still at 40%.  So I've started earlier today.  It's interesting how upload time does not proceed in a linear fashion - I can normally upload a half hour video in five hours, yet it took 9 hours to only get 40% of the way there.

I'm sure science could explain this.

Tru dat.  Currently at 22%.  According to Youtube's expert predictions, it should only take another 1632 minutes to complete.  That's 27 hours.  And by expert predictions, I mean "almost always wrong".

More Pit today, I think.  In an hour or two.  I have some work (choke!) to take care of first.
