When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Apparently TCG is also still really annoyed and hasn't let it go yet.

Tom will carry a grudge for me for years after I've forgotten. He will hate someone forever if they make me cry.

I read, ate, and napped a bit while ltc napped. She's been waking up and not making a sound, just standing there and waiting for me to get her, which I only know about if I look at the monitor. I wonder if I should be worried about this behavior?

thessaly is coming over to go with us to the farmer's market in a couple of hours. So, that will be fun, and I'll get to bitch some more about the crazy in person.

sj, holy crap, that just makes me livid on your behalf. What a pile of assholes. You are not overreacting. I'm so glad TCG is supporting you.

Thanks! I hope you get your CPAP soon, and I hope it makes a huge difference for you.

That's more me than TCG. Also, I wasn't crying. I was ragefully angry. Still am, although it's a little better.

I am the grudge-holder in our marriage. My grudges are EPIC.

I tend to cry when I'm ragefully angry, which is why I mentioned that, heh.

Oh, man, I cry when I'm angry or frustrated, which is THE WORST in a work setting.

That makes sense, but this was more, I want to throw things and say horrible things that I can't take back kind of rage. I guess I cry when I'm angry too, but usually it's if I'm angry at TCG or Mom or someone else whose opinion I care about.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

TOTALLY.

Though with my dad or my former boss (a man), it also meant they stopped doing whatever yelling or raging they were doing and started apologizing.

Our wings are not tired.

Doctor told me, though it's bad, he's seen people with worse sleep apnea than mine.

The couple times I have stayed with my sister I am amazed at how often she falls asleep sitting in her lounge chair while working on the computer. Over the course of the day she will fall asleep about 10 times. Not good.

Scottish tweets re Brexit and Trump.

Seriously, best thing ever.

She's been waking up and not making a sound, just standing there and waiting for me to get her, which I only know about if I look at the monitor.

Awww, this says to me that she knows she can count on you to come get her and she doesn't need to make a fuss to get your attention. Not having to throw a fit to get a parent's attention is cool.

I am the grudge-holder in our marriage. My grudges are EPIC.

Yeah, me too. I'm a seriously nice person, but you do something that in my book that counts as unforgivable (like bigotry or hateful bullying, that sort of thing), and the grudge is permanent. Person is written off. If it is a family member or customer or someone that I have to have contact with I am well practiced at minimizing interactions.

Oh, man, I cry when I'm angry or frustrated, which is THE WORST in a work setting.

Yes. I did have a boss ages ago that was a yeller and I knew my day would come as he yelled at everyone. The day he came into my office yelling about something my response was to stand up and yell back at him. "If you think you can do my job better than you are welcome to it! You can do it your way or I can do it my way! Your choice" Seriously, I don't know where it came from other than I had been dreading his tirades and knew if I didn't yell I would sob.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I hope you get your CPAP soon, and I hope it makes a huge difference for you.

Thanks, sj. Cigna did authorize, so I think the holdup was the supply company. I'm getting the CPAP Thursday. We'll see. I'm a little afraid to get my hopes up, frankly.

Oh, man, I cry when I'm angry or frustrated, which is THE WORST in a work setting.

You know what, I used to do that, and I just realized I don't anymore. Now I'm just a red-faced ball of fury and I have to watch myself that I don't say things I'll regret. I don't know what changed. Someone once told me, she knew I was really mad when my throat started turning red - apparently the visible rage starts in my chest and works its way up to my forehead, which is both cool and embarrassing.

That's me. People (especially boy/girlfriends) tend not to get this - I'll forgive and forgive, but if you cross that line of me not being able to see you as a decent person anymore, then we're done.

Also, Laura, can you get your sister to go in for a sleep study? She sounds like me, falling asleep all the time. It can be dangerous.
