Why didn't you just make something else?

Catch · 09-04-2011, 11:14 PM

Well, my back is feeling better and had a wonderfully relaxed and worry free weekend without many responsibilities at all.

Renatus, if you are underage, being limited to eating ONE meal a day is considered child abuse in EVERY state in the union.

My mothers explaination "we had a late supper before", my brother's explaination"I wasn't hungry before"(this was in reference to his first supper) and "I was hungry now" (in reference to his eating of my lasagnia rather than his leftovers). The only thing I had to eat all day was some Dorritos and now I'm stuck with their leftovers.

Funny thing is my mother always complains "well my parents always got the best stuff and the kids were stuck with lesser quality food, so you shouldn't be eating such good food either". I just love how they neglect my need for at least one meal a day and then claim I'm eating better than them. I can handle eating just one meal a day, but I can't handle people complaining about me eating all of the food while only eating a meal a day

You're too fucking skinny to be eating one meal a day, dude.

Fuck that shit. Eat before they get a chance to steal it from you. I agree with Ben that it sounds like abuse. My family were a bunch of selfish bastards growing up, too. Everyone around me was constantly eating...huge portions. When I was hungry there was barely anything left. Food sustains life and it kind of seems like they are saying they have more of a right or need to live than you.

Renatus · 09-05-2011, 08:35 AM

Oh bother The one meal I should have mentioned the one meal a day thing is mostly my fault since I do forget to eat alot. Its the fact that they complain about the one time I eat, like I'm eating them out of house and home that bugs me. One time I got yelled at for eating half a roll.

Ben I'm 21

Yeah I know.
sorry about this guys.

You don't have to be an asshole to establish a little dominance....look at them, blink, and eat right in front of them. They are running right over you because you are letting them.

Versus · 09-05-2011, 11:04 AM

I think he's upset about his family bitching, not the actual hunger.

Fill their stomachs with uppercuts. "Uppercuts. It's what's for dinner."

And my rant is that I need sex.

Dominance isn't an easy thing to do, when your mother is paranoid about other people trying to control her, and threatens to call the police when things don't go her way. I believe this to trace back several generations really, since my mother complains about how my grandmother was, and my grandmother has complained to my mother about how my great grandmother(my grandmother's mother) was.

In fact all the women on my mother's side of the family seem to have some degree of these same traits, that have manifested differently based on their positions in the family. My uncles seem to agree with me. It's a bit of a vicious cycle I suspect.

My father however is simply the epitome of passive aggressive.

I must admit I have a dominant side myself, but at least I am aware of it, and try to keep vigilant watch for any abusive dominant behaviors.

and yes you are correct Versus.

Ah yes the age old tale of the sex starved soldier, I don't suppose there is any local way to alleviate the problem?

You should petition to allow conjugal visits. I'd happily take one for the country, er, UN?

MissCheyenne · 09-05-2011, 01:39 PM

All you single ladies need to start sending email picture packages entitled 'Tits For Versus'. Not quite the real deal but it'd be something at least.

Well to be fair from what I know of history, the military and prostitution have long been in denial bedfellows. The same seems to be the case with porn, as I remember seeing posters putting down porn at my father's reserve base, though it might have only been internet porn that it was talking about, I'm not sure it's been years since I saw the poster. Either way, soldiers seem to have high porn subscription rates. Thats not even mentioning what I've heard of what goes on between the soldiers themselves.

Saya · 09-05-2011, 01:50 PM

More than prostitution, the military and systematic **** has been bedfellows, but who's counting?

Regardless, Versus doesn't have privacy and I doubt there are many brothels in rural Afghanistan.

I bit the inside of my cheek (that is what I get for eating crabs so greedily yesterday) and it is swollen so I keep accidentally biting it again and again.

I got that too, except I think mine is caused by a wisdom tooth that is coming up. I really gotta get my dental insurance sorted out.

Solumina · 09-05-2011, 05:43 PM

Oooo yeah that is the type of thing you really want to get taken care of as soon as you can, since they can lead to infection and such if the tooth doesn't come in completely correctly.

Saya · 09-05-2011, 05:51 PM

I know, its just that removal is really expensive and I got so many expenses coming up. Gotta catch up on bills, my cell phone is completely broken so I have to get a new one, and I'm not sure how much my insurance covers, which I gotta find out.

My dentist is half retired so he's really good at giving me a good deal, but I haven't seen him in years and I think my teeth are a bit of a fright.

Solumina · 09-05-2011, 06:15 PM

That sucks but I understand, I still have all of mine for the same reason, although I'm really lucky as they all came in just about as they should have and have not caused me any problems, I just have to be a little obsessive about mouthwash as one of them still has a little bit of gum over part of it that I can't exactly brush under.

How exactly does dental insurance work up there?

Saya · 09-05-2011, 06:28 PM

You're covered until the age of twelve, otherwise you have to pay for it all. I got insurance with my school, but it doesn't cover it 100%.

I'm actually hoping that I'll need to go to the hospital to go under general anesthesia and get them removed that way, because if its done in a hospital, its free. I had to get a molar removed that way when I was 13 or so because a nerve was wrapped around the root of the tooth, and my orthodontist said I'd probably have to do it again when its time for my wisdom teeth to come out.

This is all kinds of awesome! Thanks for giving me a chuckle.

Saya · 09-05-2011, 08:47 PM

Shit, I just got an email from my student union, they're switching health insurance providers. The new provider has a coverage booklet that is so much easier to understand and it looks like extraction will be mostly covered (yay) but I gotta wait until after the last day to drop classes before direct billing kicks in. I think that's late October.
