The Rant Thread...

I thought the Word Association thread was the Word Association thread

@ Teesie, great pic, i wouldnt want that thing anywhere near me either, best to contain the evil within an avatar

I thought that words are sentences.

Methinks you got that the wrong way round Jacob

Sorry but, every other forum I go on that has "Word association" sometimes puts them in sentences.

Should we have a sentence association then?

My rant for today is that Yahoo upgraded to a new system, they claim its faster but my opinion of it is that it is garbage. Its slow, more complicated to use, and for someone like me who dosent know a lot about computers its nothing but a pain. Bill Gates bought out Yahoo and I guess he wants to change everything and possibly charge money to use Yahoo to add to his billions. Anyway, I sure dont like it.

I know right. I hate it. I set mine back to classic. It's so much simpler.

And you're right about the bag with string thing.... We didn't have sissors, but we needed them. They were in the house, and we were all the way across the yard in the chicken coup, it was pouring down rain, and we didn't wanna run through the rain to the house and back for sissors. :/ Plus, yea if we had them I would have hurt myself with them somehow... lol...

It seems that everything has upgraded to a new and stupid level. YouTube being one of them. Google has disrupted and taken over most of the sites here. My dad who plays Ogame, hates the system and Google even takes over Ogame, he doesn't play it anymore but he use to.

The fact that Google wants and lures themselves more power and for what? More money to feed their fascination?

@ Jacob-Thats what it is, its all about money. If those SOB's can squeeze a few more dollars out of us all the better for them.

They've dumbed everything down to the point where I feel stupid because I don't know what I'm doing anymore.

[Bighuey]

Its all BS, theres no need for it except they just want more control over us and to keep the average person broke.

It's tough adjusting from college to home. My family moved while I was away so I don't have any friends here (it's an hour away from my old house), and I don't really know the area. So I've been sitting at home for the past few days not really doing anything. Went job hunting today with some success, but it does not cease my boredom.

[Euphoriameantime]

I gave quarters to my brother-in-law Monday night. I knew it was a risk, but I do believe I've been had.

He gave me a sob story about how he was going to die if he didn't get clean and no one in his family will talk to him. I figured if he was calling me for help he was at rock bottom, since I'd told him he'd be beaten to a bloody pulp if he ever came around here.

Last night at 8pm should have been 48hours with out oxycotin. He should have been starting the serious withdrawal. But nothing than a complaint that his bones are achey. Right now he should be moaning and groaning and shaking and sweating and puking and shitting his pants but he's sleeping like a baby. I'm going to end up thumping him a good one. If he's not detoxing that means he's brought drugs into my house. He's going to be hurtin one way or another.

Never turn your back on a drug...

Women who find old gossip entertaining

Theres a really lazy woman on our team at work who for years has been faking sick days, ruining tests and breaking machines. She gets away with murder as she calls the union whenever she is warned of her incompetence. Thing is, most people have just cut her out and dismissed her as the screwball she is-i barely even acknowledge her-and yet the women in our group still find her latest slip-up, sick day etc fascinating and a source of gossip, as if its new and interesting. They are all like "Ohh, look what she did today" or "Wow, did you hear she broke another machine this morning" etc etc.

I mean, most normal people would be beyond bored at this stage listening to her tales of woe and yet the majority of women here still perk up and soak up the latest tale in her Groundhog day of a life. Why bother dancing to a broken record, it baffles me

[Bighuey]

@SKM,I worked in a place for a while that was mostly women and I can sympathise with you. Most of the older women were ok, but some of the younger ones were really flakey. Like you said, they would complain how sick they were, gossip about about how they got laid last night, back bite each other and were generally a pain to work with and just plain stupid. I was finally transfered to a different department where it was just me and an 85 year old guy. That was great. I probably would have quit if I had to stay around all those dizzy dames.

Heard this morning that the Pope Benedict has signed up to Facebook

I spent yesterday decluttering our spare room & hearing about the Pope & his Facebook got me thinking & I have concluded that all we are doing between Facebook, Twitter, Apps for this and Apps for that is cluttering up our minds & lives with irrelevant, mostly useless nonsence.
At this stage a lot of people must have minds worse than my spare room was yesterday morning before I launched operation declutter.
Now all I have to do is steer well clear of Facebook etc & stop putting stuff in the spare room on the basis that I will decide later what to do with it.

I think facebook has a lot of good uses. I used it to find my dad's half siblings and my cousins. My grandfather has found guys he was in the service with 50 years ago and hadn't talk to since.

But for a lot of people it is just junk food for the brain.

I dont care for facebook, everyone wants to gossip and play those silly games. Someone hacked into my account and I was getting all kinds of weird stuff. You should do what I did when I had to have a clean-out when my wife died. I backed a trailer up to the door and just shut my eyes and started throwing stuff out to go to the dump. What was funny. my neighbor who was renting a mobile home from me came over and he would see something he said I can use that, old broken tv's, just usless junk. He died about a year later and I had to clean out his place and most of it ended up at the dump anyway.

OK, I missed a lot of my favorite TV show episodes back when I didn't have internet for a while, and I've only recently had a chance to start catching up on them. So, I'm sitting here watching one of my shows and guess what! In the episode I just finished watching, they killed off one of my favorite characters! WTF!?! So now I'm just sitting here crying my eyes out like somebody real just died. I get too attached to these darn shows. Now I'm gonna go watch the next episode and see what happens.....
