My sister had a mastectomy and is having radiation after a bout of chemo earlier this year. 10% chance of cancer returning... Might have to buy myself a bucket-o-tears.

Live life every single day. Live with love in your heart, because it's the only emotion worth hanging onto.

Found out one of my uncles gets touchy feely with little girls. I discovered this while watching the news and it turns out he was messing with my preteen cousin. He's already been arrested and waiting on trial. The police advised everyone not to load any firearms or think of harming him at the courthouse when the trial starts but it is so fucking tempting.

*hugs* Batty. Hope your sister gets through it as quickly and painlessly as possible.

Acharis · 07-22-2015, 01:02 PM

It would be hard for things to suck worse than things do for me at the moment, but I think you guys have topped it.

*hugs Batty and BB*

Fruitbat · 07-22-2015, 07:33 PM

Thanks Acharis and BB.

She's a tough old gal. Fractured some vertebra in her spine about three years ago, had to go into a brace for about 6mths. Just got her clearance to come out to Oz, then found out she had breast cancer.

Hopefully, she'll be better by next year, and I'll pay for her and her hubby to fly out. Yeah, it's going to take all my savings, putting my dream of a tiny house on hold (again) but she's my sister, and I'm a dumb sentimental fucker who puts family above all else.

My rant is that I drive 15 hours one way to see my brother and nieces... they can't be assed to drive 2 hours to see me. My excuse was I did the drive on my own with babybat, I had a rather bad cold and had to save my energy for the drive home... Oh and driving in Australia isn't like driving elsewhere. It's hundreds of kilometres with nothing. Google Hay plain images.. then you'll see what I'm talking about.

Plus you have to be alert to wildlife on the road. Kangaroos, foxes, emus, cows, sheep, womats, echidnas, dogs, cats, bunnies, horses... yeah, it's a bucket of laughs...
Here's a link with general images of the Hay area.

That sounds awful. Kind of like Desert Bus but you can't just nope and escape to menu. 0/10 Do not want

Fruitbat · 07-27-2015, 07:04 PM

It's okay.. I was quite surprised by the number of women who thought I was brave driving that far without a man.... Not exactly sure what they thought was going to happen to me or why a man would make any difference.

Really wish people wouldn't say stuff like that... Brave is running into a house fire to rescue someone.

Cold has turned into a sinus infection... of course there's no sympathy on the homefront... no rest, or allowances made.. fuck I'm over this shite

Acharis · 07-29-2015, 01:18 AM

Probably thought that some guy would try to attack you, and the presence of another man might deter them. I dunno.

I'm grumpy and cold. There's a list of things I want to do, but I never have the energy after doing the things I have to do. If I even get that far -_- There needs to be two of me to live in shifts please.

Fruitbat · 08-02-2015, 06:07 PM

Acharis - yeah, most likely, friggin' stonage attitude though. Next it will be I need to take a dog/knife/gun/rocket laucher/nuclear warhead - just escalates shit like that.

Am grumpy today. Cold. Tired. And really sick of putting up with fucking men, well one in particular. FUCK!!!!!

shadowynne · 08-04-2015, 04:24 PM

Oh... my.. frikkin.. gods... you are still the most disappointing un-gothic, common, kine whores you have always been. God's dammit I am going to name another ulcer after you worthless bastards... well... maybe not all of you, of course I love every last one of you, except for that worthless failure of a babygirl...

shadowynne · 08-04-2015, 04:25 PM

Oh, and yeah, it's me... phant. So?

Acharis · 08-10-2015, 01:35 AM

Oh, oh! Can I be a haemmorhoid instead? Or if a bunch of people are named so, the leader of them?

I've always wanted to be a Royal Pain in the Arse.

Ohhh me too! I love getting right up people's butts and making them squirm!

I'll let you lead me Acharis, as long as I can bring my buddies with us. I'm looking at you Timeless, you Danish pastry.

HumanePain · 08-17-2015, 09:49 PM

RANT: I totally get young people's attitudes towards older folks like myself, and I know it comes with the territory when trying to talk to them, some rejection and ridicule will happen (I always make it clear upfront how old I am, otherwise sometimes young people accidentally hit on me and then I have to deal with an embarrassing situation, young people have strong drives at that age after all).

BUT...some sites have so much ageism discrimination that I just give up.

I can go to Pinterest and other grandpa sites but they are mostly so closed minded politically, musically, and other ways that I can't stand it.

I guess I am caught betwixt generations.

I can have a great conversation with someone on tumblr about the Black Veil Brides or Lacuna Coil or the plot between the lines in Frozen, but then I mention Led Zeppelin and suddenly it's how old are you?

What, you mean a 21 year old can like Bach who has been dead over 200 years but a 59 year old liking EDM drum and bass like Soulero or Veela or other Monstercat jams is creepy?
Christ!

I am so fucking glad gnet knows me and accepts me.

Acharis · 08-18-2015, 03:50 AM

Having a rest on the floor... My joints are killing me. I think dinner is going to be a sandwich and then time for an early night.

Fruitbat · 08-21-2015, 08:57 PM

I'm almost sad at not letting anyone close. Then I wonder what it would take for me to let someone close again, and I'm not sure I'm up to it. There's only so many times you can be hurt before you say "I've had enough"... but then I don't really want to give up the hope of finding a guy who will actually listen to what I have to say and take it on board, and accept me for all my zany ways and not actually let him in, behind the barrier I put up because I'm tired of people hurting me.

Why is it that people don't do what they say... why is it that people can say "I love you" but they dont' really...

I think I should just get a dog... they are loyal and loving.

Acharis · 08-23-2015, 09:05 AM

*hugs Fruity*

Fruitbat · 08-23-2015, 09:09 PM

thanks acharis... xo

BourbonBoy · 09-08-2015, 09:32 AM

Awesome. Back injury from over a week ago is still bugging the shit out of me. The joys of not having medical insurance to have a doctor at least be able to take a look.

BourbonBoy · 09-11-2015, 12:42 AM

I have no idea why but I prefer the comfort of a whore/hooker over the comfort of my long term girlfriend.

Gnet, WTF is wrong with me?

Molster · 09-11-2015, 02:01 AM

Commitment issues, or perhaps she is not the right person for you?

BourbonBoy · 09-11-2015, 10:41 AM

Sobered up and thought about it.

Commitment issues. I've been with her for over a year and she's the one I've dated the longest.

Note to self:
Don't post while drunk

Acharis · 09-12-2015, 02:49 AM

Maybe because you worry about getting judged? Someone who is working might be more sexually/emotionally non-threatening than someone you spend a lot of time with and have hopes for long term.

Molster · 09-14-2015, 12:58 AM

If you are prepared to sleep with other people, then you are hardly committed to your "long term girlfriend" in fact you are totally disrespecting her!

Saya · 09-14-2015, 01:00 PM

Unless they have an open or polyamorous relationship.

Acharis · 09-15-2015, 01:41 AM

Right now everything feels pretty traumatic and awful. I'm just going to shirk all of my adult responsibilities as much as I can and stay in my house reverting to childhood.
