TICTH Flu.
There seems to be a very muted public discussion of the worst flu season in decades. Meanwhile people at work are dropping like flies. At least most of them are too sick to come in.

TICTH motherfucking EVERYTHING.
I'm being nibbled to death by ducks.
the dog has a sprained ankle and needs lots of care and since he's 5 bazillion pounds and roughly the size of a benevolent mastodon just getting him in and out to pee takes the whole family and lots of grunting and slipping on the ice and face planting in the snow and all the while he has this look on his face like getting hoisted up and down the steps is some great lark and we should ALWAYS DO THIS! and while he's indoors he can't move much so he spreads out comfortably in the living room, thus becoming the whole of the living room floor and making all trips to the bathroom or the kitchen damn near impossible. And he's in pain so I can't even hate him.
and I CTH the fucking ice everywhere that caused mister big fluffy clumsyass to fall and hurt himself in the first place.
though the ice did make me scare the hell out of a jogger and her little sissy dog while I went sideways down the road yesterday. so that was a small plus.
I also CTH the cute little fucking kitten who so sweetly and cutely DESTROYED my phone charger by shredding the housing for the entire length of cord and leaving little nibbled bits of rubber all over my bed. And while I'm Cing her cute little fuzzy ass TH, she can bloody well stop carrying her dinner, one kibble at a time, into my bed and squirreling it under the blankets so I climb into bed with goddamn purina crumbs every goddamn night.
YOU ARE NOT A SQUIRREL. FUCKING STOP IT.
Don't gimme those big kitten eyes. I'm immune to cute.
fuck you.
I also CTH the shitty ass weather system that's predicted to bring us RAIN in fucking January. We already have shit for snow, and now rain? fuck you, mother nature! you and your scary fucking roads!
and the bills this month that are roughly 3X the paychecks. fuck you, money.
and I C to the lowest, nastiest depths of H my septic tank that chose NOW to be full and off-gas into my fucking house, so I came home to the smell of poo. in an effort to beat a potential clog (so much cheaper than pumping) I used a lot of this stuff that is the consistency of snot and smells like cheap plastic frankenflowery soap. then i sprayed with lysol. and now my house smells like plastickish, soapy, lysolly poop. and dog farts. because that has to be going on right now, too.
naturally.
And H gets to have Ced to it with great passion the MOTHERFUCKING MIGRANE that has been rocking this whole fucking mess for two days. because god forbid I get to have one crisis at a time.
and finally, this afternoon... because God has a hilarious sense of humor... I get to have a raging case of the shits. Hoo-fucking-ray.
scatalogically yours,
Comet, Gimp Dog, Fart Dog, Neurotic Kitten and the Great Cloud of Poop.
so hey - ya'll come visit. Everything's fucking GREAT.

Can't consign her to hell cos I'm called to love her, but I'm not called to like her or never get angry or rant about her so "Today I Am Finding It Difficult to Love...." my senior colleague.
You know what, I don't care if you don't understand that a person can mourn the passing of an animal almost as deeply as that of a person. It doesn't matter whether you understand it or not. It's irrelevant.
When a colleague who is hard working, diligent and reliable, who has coped well under a lot of extreme stress over the years and is currently coping with working under quite a lot of stress. when that colleague rings in in tears and says that they're really sorry but they've just got in from the emergency vets after having their fourteen year old cat put down and they're not in a fit state to a)come in to work or b)leave their teenage son (who's also been through a lot of stress) home alone to bury the cat and clean up the mess, then you don't get annoyed with them and tell them to pull themselves together because it was only a cat and is better off dead as it was obviously sick, so have a cup of coffee and get in to work. You actually care that something, even something you don't understand, has caused them such distress.
I would feel like this with any cat who'd been part of the family as long as Charlie. But for your information, dear colleague, that cat has kept me sane through some of the toughest times imaginable. He embodied unconditional love in feline form - maybe not because he loved me, maybe just because I waited on him hand and foot, but it was good to be able to nuzzle into his fur when we were sad, to be able to offload our stresses and worries to his unquestioning ears, to be able to calm down by stroking his soft fur and listening to his gentle purring, and to be moved to laughter by his antics even on the darkest days. And now he isn't even there to comfort me for the fact that he isn't there and that stinks.
Yes, it was the right thing. He was a good age for a cat, death was just round the corner for him, but it was never going to be easy to say goodbye. Given some compassion, I'd probably have been able to go in to work in an hour or two, so your words were pretty counterproductive actually. But you need to know that, in a job where I was feeling seriously unvalued, I now feel completely unvalued. Now I am not sure which emotion is stronger, sorrow or anger. Stupid bitch.

Fuckin' A.
Got that vibe from a couple people when my cat died, and the only thing I can say is they never showed enough concern about what insanity and psychic cliff-edges that animal might have been pulling me back from to earn any right to judge me. And the people who did know, did.

Can't call it to Hell, 'cos I suspect it's already there... Death.
What is it with people just absolutely going away? No phone calls, no email, Facebook, Twitter... just gone, silence and absence? The finality of "I will never see or hear from you again" (at least while I'm alive and who knows afterwards). It's a crapper.
And it amazes me that we don't talk about it more. It's like people are going around with a big secret that no-one wants to acknowledge. Being 'in the club' with other people who've lost a loved one is something useful, but nothing brings them back.

TICTH Dr. Andrew Weil, for his better route to migraine relief:
quote:
Finally, if you continue to have attacks, try to change the way you think about the headaches. Migraine is like an electrical storm in your head - violent and disruptive, but leading to a calm, clear state in the end. You may, upon reflection, discover that it is not so bad to let yourself have a headache once in a while.
First, migraine isn't a headache. A headache may be part of a migraine attack, but for many migraineurs, it's the least part.
Second, migraine doesn't lead to a calm, clear state at the end. Most migraine attacks are followed by a postdrome, with another day or two or three of continuing neurological impairments.
And finally, about "letting" yourself have a migraine: Do you advise other patients to let themselves have a seizure or a heart attack or a stroke once in a while?
Grrr.

Most of the advice in the article is sensible, but the last paragraph or two, not so much. My migraines do not lead to a "calm, clear state," but an exhausted relief. Has the tosser ever experienced a migraine?

Men who sexually assault and rape, I'm stimulated today to call them to hell and genital amputation by yet another CBC news story about the rape and murder of the young Indian woman on the bus. The report was about the widespread parallel attacks all over the country. And I know that these happen everywhere in the world including to some of us and our loved ones. May God deliver all of them to whom they belong, the devil. No quarter.

The phone company. After my DSL connection wouldn't get past 1.5 mb I replaced it with a cable modem. I tried to discontinue the dsl on the phone and after a half hour on call waiting efore the service rep told me the isp had to do the disconnect, even though the phone company billed me. The isp said the phone company had to do it (another three phone calls to the ISP) and then I went back to another half hour phone wait to insist that they disconnect it without disconnecting the phone.
Three days later, the phone stopped working. I figured this out two days later. Yet another phone call to an automated repair using a waiter's borrowed phone since there are not longer public call boxes in my part of town. Where is the Tardis when I need it?
Today I have the phone line back without DSL.
This seems to e part of a recent trend of everything taking two interactions to get stuff done that should take one. The hellish punishment should include the usual tortures of the damned with a cheery voice repeatedly thanking them for their patience and understanding.

There will probably be a few snow-related ones so here's mine. TICTH the fool in the Land Rover coming the other way today. It was a main road and the steady stream of traffic had cleared the way into two snow-free tracks plus a mound of dirty snow down the middle. So Land Rover Oaf deliberately drives with one wheel on the mound, spraying dirty snow over the clear tracks, pedestrians and windscreens of oncoming vehicles. Prick.

TICTH diarrhoea, which the reason I saw my GP this morning. The GP gave me a little pot to provide a stool sample (apologies to anyone of a nervous disposition, by the way). The latest I could hand in the sample today was 12 noon. Could I go? Of course not! So now my next chance is Monday before work, which adds an extra 2 days to the time I have to wait to get my test results!
Thank you so much, Body - you get me all worked up enough to have a rectal exam (I told the nervous people to look away!), but then won't give me the one thing I need to help my GP fix it. Fucking crap!
The only upside is, if I can do the sample on Monday, I'll have to post it through the door on the way to work before the surgery opens - so I will literally get the chance to put shit through someone's letterbox!

TICTH Southampton Football Club for sacking Nigel Adkins. He got the club promoted to the Premiership in just two seasons when the original plan was to take three years and this is how they repay him! Morons! What do they think this will do to the team's morale? Not to mention the fans (sorry, I forgot they don't count).
If he'd been sacked In November I'd have understood it, but not now they've finally hit a winning streak. Sheer insanity! ![[Disappointed]](graemlins/disappointed.gif)

TICTH the idiots who would deny they are misogynists but whose misogynistic behaviour includes demeaning remarks, commentary, twitter and online 'trolling' about a woman's appearance if she has the temerity to speak in a public forum. (Professor Mary Beard is today's example). The automatic response to a female who makes herself unpopular or even just visible, in some cases, is to zone in on every physical 'imperfection' and use this as some justifiable reason for disregarding her as a person.
I am fed up with the culture that a woman's worth is calculated by her appearance and that her right to have contentious opinions is denigrated because she does not match the 'phwoar-get-a-load-of-that-I'd-do-her-if-she-were-lucky' ideal of some who are hopefully in the minority, but who seem to be remarkably proficient in spewing out direct hatred (anonymously, of course) online.

TICTH the left rear brake on my car that decided to lock up TIGHT as I was coming home from work at THREE AM when there's no one on the roads but me and the moose. I had to walk back into town, (in the cold and dark and icy roads and me in a skirt, goddammit!) wake up a friend, and borrow his car. GRRR!!!
but many thanks for my very understanding friend who was very sleepy and I suspect will wake up in the morning wondering where his car got to.

(Professor Mary Beard is today's example). The automatic response to a female who makes herself unpopular or even just visible, in some cases, is to zone in on every physical 'imperfection' and use this as some justifiable reason for disregarding her as a person.
I am fed up with the culture that a woman's worth is calculated by her appearance and that her right to have contentious opinions is denigrated because she does not match the 'phwoar-get-a-load-of-that-I'd-do-her-if-she-were-lucky' ideal of some who are hopefully in the minority, but who seem to be remarkably proficient in spewing out direct hatred (anonymously, of course) online.
This works especially if they are left-wing. Check out what happens to Laurie Perry for examples.
TICTH Germain Greer for criticising Australia's left-wing, female PM's dress sense and saying she had "a big arse". I double consign the media to hell for not calling Greer to account as much as they should - imagine the outrage if a right-wing male had said it.

Please tell me you have a link. I would like to see that. In fact I would like to show it to the lady members of the Conservative Club on Friday night!

Technology has brought us all closer together. Turns out a lot of the people you meet as a result are complete idiots.

TICTH Discover Bank. I want to make a payment on my daughter's student loans. They will not let me make the payment by credit card or Paypal. They will only accept the payment if I give them the routing number and account number for my checking account.

I've written a book! Catherine's Pascha: A celebration of Easter in the Orthodox Church. It's a lovely book for children. Take a look!

The COMMENTERS on THIS - not the item. I'm well behind the Enough Food IF campaign.
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/enough-food-if-anti-hunger-campaign--100-charities-and-celebs-back--biggest-coalition-in-since-make- poverty-history--113236531.html
Particularly the bloke who posted this gem
"870,000,000 are starving because they will do absolutely NOTHING to help themselves! "
or this
"What rubbish! The more we give them, the more they breed and the hungrier they become! Leave them alone to sort out their own mess! It's not our problem! It's natural selection!"
or this
"I'm afraid the only way to bring peace and end poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa is for it to be re-colonised by Western powers."
If the population needs to be reduced to ease poverty i can suggest the first 3 names on the list!

Stupid fucking Medicab driver that put my mother -in a wheelchair with a recently broken ankle- in the back of a cargo van, whilst only loosely strapping the wheelchair down, and leaving sandbags sliding around on the floor. Meaning, she got to try and stabilize the tilting/sliding wheelchair, whilst keeping her broken ankle up to avoid having it rammed by the sandbags sliding about...
