(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡 ┻━┻

Like KidRobot stores of the past, but wayyy less overhead

 

That seller has a "stock" that is pretty identical to One-up's online inventory...and I'm sure there's poor saps out there who will spend 10x the $ on eBay not knowing how easy it is to buy international from One-up the thought that it was one-up crossed my mind for a second but realized it was likely a "buyer service" but man are those prices idiotic even for that

 

FUCK YOU CANCER.

FUCK YOU!!!!!!

 

I'm with you wholeheartedly on this one. My boyfriend's friend's fiance's mother (or I can just say my friend, because we've become really buddy-buddy over Facebook even though we live far apart) just died recently. Thankfully she lived long enough to see her daughter say "I do" to the proposal, and the hospital staff even staged a mini wedding-reception for her since they knew she wouldn't make it long enough to see her daughter get married.

It makes all my problems right now seem small in comparison, but I guess that's a good thing... it puts things in perspective. Still though, fuck cancer. Fuck cancer for taking away decent human beings, members of our families, people we love.

 

a friend and great guy just went through months of chemo and then yesterday was his whipple procedure to remove pancreatic cancer, only to be cut open, sewn up and brought out of anesthesia and told sorry, your cancer is inoperable and has spread to your abdomen. He isnt even barely 35 yrs old.

and last night, he and his wife had to break the news to their 2 little girls.



FUCK YOU CANCER, and FUCK YOU MONSANTO. You and your evil cohorts are the reason there are more and more cancers popping up. Ever wonder why they wear those biohazard suits when ''spraying'' the corn? If its so safe, why the suit?

never mind, go back to fucking sleep. the end is nigh..

 

Fuck teachers and professors who can't post grades and fuck universities and colleges for 'allowing' this to happen without reprisals. I graduated, but whether or not my degree is conferred and I actually get my diploma is based on one lazy teacher who (and lets be honest she had trouble working basic powerpoints during lecture) is either too lazy to do her job or can't figure out basic things like how to post grades to the university HUB system.

WTF? To make it worse it seems the burden and responsibility is shifted to me to chase this person as I called the registars office and they hot potatoed me to the dept office and wanted nothing to do with it. There I found out she did not post any grades for the entire class (which was a relief to me because maybe some of these kids will speak up but I'm not holding my breath). I asked the secretary what can be done and they said oh we can try an email her? I said I've emailed her three times and did not get a response, what makes you think you will? How about someone make a call? Worst part is she is deaf as the class was ASL102 and it's probably factoring into why no one wants to call but they have services that do it.

 

Curb is always my reference point because I feel my life mirrors Larry's at times -albeit without being a millionaire and living in LA from a successful TV show, so just the part where everyone gives him shit 24-7 when he means well.

Anyhow I completely lost my rag on the phone with the University today and went to scary Chris mode, where I start cursing (fuck that kindness shit when no one can do their job- I believe I said "Someone needs to light a fire under this teachers ass so she gets into gear and submits the grades for fuck's sake!") and finally was transferred to speak to my personal degree auditor who assured me it would not be a problem at all. She agreed -complete BS and teachers never realize the position they put students in when they don't submit grades. We'll see if she was just trying to appease me and get me off the phone or it really works out.

Oh and obviously this dilemna is small potatoes to Mecha's- BIG FUCK YOU TO FUCKING CANCER!

 

Sorry for your loss man, I just lost my sister to cancer a few weeks ago. She went through all the chemo stuff for about a year. It seemed she was getting better but in the end yeah. I can't say we can blame monsanto for this one, but they are total bastards. Apparently they can sue a small time farmer if one of their seeds ends up in the farmers crop.

 

I feel a bit silly for posting about something trivial after all these cancer stories, but alas, this is my only place to properly vent.

FUCK YOU EBAY GUY.
I've been selling off my java ferns from my aquarium since my fish all kicked the bucket. Been making $5 or so a week, which is barely a drop in the proverbial bucket, but it's something. (eBay is a butt and only the 7 day option is free to list, so 7 days it is)
So then this dude messages me "how much for all of them"
I nearly crap my pants! I can finally sell all these stupid plants at once instead of week by week!
I tell him I'll count out all the clusters I have and get back to him with a special wholesale price.
Late at night I take each cluster out, pull the gravel out of the root systems, collect and count them out (14 clusters), take my starting bid ($3.99, they usually sell between that and $5) and lower the price to $3.75, but then round down to a total of $50. Completely fair price. Maybe even too generous seeing that most of these clusters have more than the 5 leaves I advertised.
I send him the price, tell him I won't go lower.
"How tall are they"
"6-11 inches tall"
"How about 40"
NO. I SAID I WON'T GO LOWER. (Said more politely)
"Can they fill up a 55 gallon tank"
(What in the bloody hell, does this guy even know what a Java Fern is)
"Probably not but they grow fast."
"No thank you"

Thanks fuckwad for wasting my life over a period of 36 hours with your pointless correspondence. I could have relisted my damn ferns.
Jokes on him though, I relisted a cluster and got a bid within an hour. And they're damn good ferns.

 

There's always behind the scenes stupidity with ebay.

I wonder how many non-paying auction wins occur everyday? Or time-wasters?

 

Your right, it is a bit silly. Congrats on makeing 50 bucks.

Somethings you can just vent into the wind.

 

...I didn't make 50 bucks, I'm back to listing each cluster individually at a rate of one per week.
It's tedious and barely worth my time, but better than selling them to that asshat for $2.85 each like he wanted.

Also, right now I'm unemployed since I'm pretty much disabled, AND my new insurance won't cover my much-needed anti-migraine pills, so every bit I make off of selling silly plants means a lot to me.

Oh, another rant, fuck you USA's health insurance. Big time. I can't pay for my Zomig (anti-migraine) and tomorrow I find out if I can even afford my migraine PREVENTATIVE. So happy fuckadoodle doo

 

Ive never had a migraine, they can be that bad that the government will consider you disabled? Man thats gotta hurt.

Toothaction man medical care is insane. My other sister probably has to declare bankruptcy because of how expensive it was staying at the hospital.

Everything blows, if not this then that.

 

Haven't tried applying for disability yet, but I might have to if this bullcrap migraine shit keeps up. They are really bad though, it's like someone is prying into your orbital sockets with an ice pick. (At least mine feel like that.) I usually end up having to lie down in a dark room on days like that, accomplishing absolutely nothing until it gets a bit better. That's why I need that damn Zomig, it usually kills a migraine within an hour... But $8 a pill? Yeah that's not happening

 

I've been having migraines since October and have finally scheduled an appointment to see a specialist. My PC just kept telling me I have a sinus infection and prescribing antibiotics but for 8 months? No way, so I will know soon what the fuck is wrong.

 

A big fuck you to board members that ask for help, but when you need the help, they hang you out to dry.
Wankers

 

That is FUCKING EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. I was seeing an ENT, and she's just saying "it must be allergies, try this, try this, try this."
Nothing worked. Allegra, Claritin, Zyrtec, Nasocort, prescription nasal spray, nada.
Well no fucking shit, I may have allergies but that wasn't causing the massive amount of head pain I was feeling on a regular basis.
Stupid sinuses are right in the same area migraines occur, so I guess I sort of understand how the mix-up happened, but still....
WTF.
Wasn't all the medicine failure a hint? At all?

If you're seeing a neurologist about the migraines, be prepared for a possible MRI and EEG. The MRI is surprisingly short, only about 20-30 min compared to the grueling 50 minutes my wrist MRI took. (Plus you're lying on your back instead of your side... fuck that wrist MRI, my pelvis, elbow, and thigh were hurting like mad after 20 minutes of that crap) EEG is just a bunch of wires pasted to your head, and you lie down and pretty much do nothing.
Topamax is an awful drug and everyone I know who has taken it has had memory loss or hallucinations. (I tried to take a nap while on it for the first day and was tripping balls hardcore, thinking that George Washington was lying in bed next to me and that my mom was sitting on the floor eating ice cream out of a pint.) If they want to put you on it, say NOOOOO.

Also... Download the App called "Migraine Coach." It's free at first but makes you pay for further analysis after 60 days, but they do give you some insights without pay. Also a WAY better way to track your migraines than the inevitable "headache journal" the neurologist will give you.
So far Migraine Coach has determined that rapid temperature and humidity changes have a big chance of giving me a migraine, and there is no connection between the amount of stairs I climb in a day and my migraines. Really weird second assessment, but hey, at least I know I can CLIMB ALL THE STAIRS.

That fucking sucks, but unfortunately I think that's how most of humankind operates to begin with. You give them an inch, they want a mile... You ask for a centimeter, it's too much for them.
...Maybe I just know too many scummy people in real life.

 

He was born the year I turned 27, I got to see him in person
when I was 33- now he is dead as I am about to turn 45

Some days I hate this fucking world, today is one.
