Dear Concerns of SDN: I AM working on a balance. It's hard though.... But, I try my best every day to keep myself from falling into any surprise black holes. (Now, that would be an EPIC smilie 😀)

CFC - dental surgery may be my least favorite. I had wisdom teeth extraction in October & it was some of the worst few days. Mainly cause of all the v****ing. I got Perkasid and they didn't warn me that I might not do well 🙁 YIPE about the next dental surgery(and many well wishes!)!!! But, we can always give thanks for the Obama, most certainly😉

Stupid pain, stupid vicodin making me nauseous, stupid not being able to eat food. A month from now I'll be getting yet another dental surgery to graft a piece of bone from my arm to my jaw. Lame. Thank the Obama I'm still on my parents insurance.

CT: My rant sense is tingling! 🙂roflcopter🙂 Don't beat yourself up, get sleep, and best wishes with FAILCat. Your most heinous crime me be this last bit 😉

And I actually found myself engaging in pointless SDN drama today . (Bad CT. Bad bad.):

EG: Wow. WOOOOOOOW. I thank all that is good in the world that I did NOT have to undergo such things. EEP!😱 I might have quit school to become a travelling gypsy. (But, I admit to a for chess!)

I took his psych class, and he was OBSESSED with metacognition. Like, we did an entire unit, and he would drill in our heads that metacognition was thinking about thinking about thinking and is what separates humans from computers. We had to watch 2001: Space Odyssey, and play chess, and gernerally be tortured 😉

Dear SDN venters: Remember to take what I say with infinite grains of salt.

I don't mind the thread at all.

that's because you are one of the people who posts in here the most. look at your statistics/posts made and do "find" for Rant through each page. yes, i counted them...because i need to make this point since i already brought it up. ive been holding this in for a while.

in 2011 (2 months so far) you have posted 77 times in the rant thread 😕 even if that is a mix of responding to rants and ranting yourself that is ridiculous

i'm glad you went to seek help because a forum is not a good place for someone who actually may need help with problems in their life. and it seems like you have a ton of problems (some real and some made up in your head that you think matter when they dont) and instead of ranting about the doc giving you pills, maybe you do need them. especially if you do suffer from depression.

Do you seriously lack that much of a life that you have to go and count my posts?

Go back and count the the number of posts by the other top contributors and then get back to me. Because just going back 10 pages or so, I see FOUR other people who posted just as many times or more than me. And no, I will not call those people out.

If you have a problem with me, don't read my f*****g posts. It's not that GD hard. Seriously. "Oh, SH posted AGAIN. I'll just scroll down and read the next one."

Just because YOU don't like my posts, doesn't mean that EVERYONE doesn't like my posts. I've met some pretty cool people here. They were like, "Oh, SH has issues that I can relate to. I'm not alone. Sweet."

Maybe is this forum had more threads I could contribute to, my stats would even out... but being Canadian, I have no idea if OSU is better than Tufts and what this VMSA (totally got that wrong) is or how American loans work... and since I only applied to one school, I can only post on that school's thread...

To do a "find" it takes about 1 min.

I don't lack a life, i'm very busy with school and having a social life.

I don't read your posts but I can see "Scarcelyheard" next to the latest post on the Rant thread without ever actually clicking on the thread. I usually just hear about your posts from other SDN members who also get annoyed.

Now, onto studying because I don't care to fight. I have the right to rant ONCE in 2 months.

 

[nyanko]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who found that post ironic, BlacKAT.

also, you don't need to count posts to tell how many someone has in a particular thread - if you click on the number in the main forum page it tells you.

Call me crazy but that is kind of a d*** thing to say to someone in general, let alone on on a public forum. Way to gang up on one person guys, cyber-bullying at it's greatest.

Don't let it bother you SH, it's a rant thread, so rant away.

if she is going to talk about every personal detail of her life on a public forum why is it bad to say that? call ME crazy (lol)...but i didn't insult her by calling her names or saying she is a horrible person, i simply agreed that i thought it was good she went to the doctor and maybe she should listen to what he has to say instead of ranting about it. It is really funny you call this cyber bullying, i guess you've never actually been exposed to real cyber bullying before. I am actually worried about SH and I don't think it is healthy to be complaining so much, and she is also around a best friend who is complaining 24/7, it can't be a happy life and it is obviously causing a lot of stress. Talking it out with a professional is GOOD ADVICE not me being a bully

To me, telling someone they need help in public for the world to see is insulting and rude. Maybe she doesn't feel like she has someone close to her that she can talk to so she comes on here somewhat anonymously just to let it out, and then winds up with you coming after her for bitching about it too much. How would you feel if you were in her situation? Yeah, I agree that talking about it with someone is a good idea, but I don't think you calling her out on it with something akin to "you've bitched on here 77 times in the past 2 months take it somewhere else" is very helpful. Maybe a private message with "Hey, I see you're really stressed out. I think it's a good thing you're talking to someone. Let me know if you need help with anything," would have been more advisable. And it would have kept other people from jumping on the bandwagon saying they don't like her or what she says either, that's the bullying I was talking about, not what you said.

um, did you just make that up? no one said they didn't like her lol

Yea, I could have PMed but I chose not to because if more than one person is commenting to me on this it would have come out sooner or later by someone else. I don't PM in response to something on a thread. I respond to threads on threads, thats just how I am.

My first comment was general. So general, someone else actually thought I was talking about them and instead of getting moody and responding to me in anger they said they would take the subtle hint. I didn't immediately call SH out until she instantly responded oblivious that she fell into the category that I was talking about. Since the hint wasn't taken...yes, I wanted to clear up my thoughts right now, in the open.

 

[168135]

I can't believe people are pm-ing about me behind my back. I feel like I'm back in highschool again.

Apparently I rave a lot too. 2nd highest poster on that thread.

You said in another post that other people were complaining to you about her. I made an inference, my apologies. I wanted to jump in and nip it in the bud before these alleged other people popped up. Don't play that "oh I wasn't talking about her" game either lol. You had to make a decision to go look up her posts and click the little button and what not, that's intent. Listen, I'm not trying to make you look like a jackwagon or anything I just wanted to stand up for somebody who is not having a good week.

Dude, high school seriously never ends. Just surround yourself with good people and kick the crappy ones to the curb. Life is too short to let a couple hosers ruin your day!

Thanks kas9ey.

And now my replies are sllooowwwllly going up. *sigh*

And If a portion of those are responding to what other people are saying... how is that a bad thing?

I also can't belive that people actually take time out of their day to complain about people they haven't even met. Right now, I'm thinking back to that picture that someone posted in another thread. "Are you coming to bed?" "No! Someone is WRONG on the interwebs".

 

[goldnretrivrgrl]

Guys come on. This is getting ridiculous. The point was made, right or wrong, so let's move on. My rant for the day: my dear roommate made chicken last night with this yummy smelling seasoning. This morning I came down and the seasoning is EVERYWHERE. I don't know if he sneezed in it or something and it just shot everywhere...who knows. I get to go home after my biochem exam and clean it up because he won't get to it until after spring break (most likely). Yaaaaay. 😛

And some people can't believe that you actually take (a substantial portion of) time out of your day to complain on the internet about people you know IRL and always have the same exact complaints but never actually do anything about them. What's the difference?

 

[168135]

Well, some people I know have said some nasty things about you behind your back.

There is nothing you can do about me... unless a rule pops up that allows mods to delete people who post too much.

So if being here and posting is going to annoy you... I kind of want to keep doing it.

It actually makes me feel better, desite the fact that you omg hate it so much that you talk about me behind my back.

If you've got some time on your hands, go get a ton of solo cups and cover his bedroom floor in them, then fill'em all the way up with water. When he gets back...SURPRISE! Harmless fun prank to break the ice. Well I think it's harmless, but it's constant prank warfare with my roommates so I'm used to it LOL.

actually my point was that I was talking about her, but I posted a general comment at first to not point her out. i dont deny

i dont mind you standing up for her. i dont really consider this fighting, more just a discussion. and I dont think it makes me "look" like anything

SH-And I think to taper this off, I wont respond to your comment on the rave thread lol

Anything I say about someone, I would say to them. I would think that's pretty obvious considering that I don't really tend to "hold back" here.

Don't really do the "talk behind someone's back" game. For all the complaints people have about me, that should not be one of them. 😛

Thank you for squibby. I did the same thing.

Amen. (Going to go post in the RAVE thread now 😀)

 

[Cautionary Tail]

So... that paper that wasn't happening? Finally started to happen. Not three minutes in, my phone rings. It's the maternal unit. Enter... Stray Cat with Broken Leg! Four hours of <strike>sitting</strike> excitement at the emergency clinic later, and... writer's block is back.

It's official... I can't win.

So much for a relaxing weekend. Already we have had people fighting, dogs fighting, a sleepless night and a child who forgot their meds.... not to mention we have hit monsoon season in this part of the state.... *sigh* is it Monday yet?

I give up trying to 'relax'. It's just not meant to be.

 

[kaydubs]

Regrets to CT & potf. Boo.

Mini rant (I'm starting to feel guilty even posting here 😳) but: Apparently, being a small-ish Asian girl is a sign that I should not drink alcohol (besides all of my health issues). Tried some beer last night for the sake of keg games, and have been dealt an upset stomach. (I'm off to nurse it with wheat toast & honey...and fruit? (Props to wikihow 😆)) Eh. The wors-er part: I strained my neck doing acrobatic shenanigans yesterday (I was in the wrestling room doing forward & backward rolls if you must know, and tried to do something more complex - and I paid for it). Now, I cannot turn my head without my body freaking out. Swimming as a remedy? I hope. And Bengay of course 😉

Thought things were looking up.....

...then I got a phone call that the furnace at my house (that I'm renting out) wasn't working (its been having an issue for apparently a week now and I JUST got informed of it). Wouldn't be a problem if I didn't currently live 2 hrs away or wasn't 3 hours away from the problem for the weekend. FML

 

[that redhead]

I really wish there were a "do over" button to life. If I had just put in more effort in classes I wouldn't BE in this position. I feel selfish and silly. I've made up a game plan that is pretty safe to play that would still let me get the degree even if things don't work out as planned. Another year down the tubes, of course, but worth it.

I also got a $70 ticket today for expired registration. I'm lucky the lady fuzz didn't tow my truck, though.

 

[EllieGirl89]

K I normally don't rant but I'm a little stressed at the moment, so here goes.

I have a paper due tomorrow that I haven't started on yet. It's kind of fun, a music video analysis, but I have to connect it to the readings in the class, so that blows. I could analyze the video in two seconds, but to use and cite a reading in the paper, that's going to take a while.

I also have a big project due in my equine marketing class on Wednesday. It's a fun project as well, but very tedious and time-consuming. We are given a map of a piece of land and we are supposed to build a small breeding and training operation on it. We have to map out the whole property, tell why we placed the buildings the way we did, what materials we used, how much everything will cost, as well as make up blueprints of all the buildings, etc.

On top of that, I have to do my internship presentation for my advisor on Wednesday, right after class (she's my teacher for the equine marketing class). When I originally asked her about it, she told me that we could do it finals week and to email her to remind her. Well when I emailed her to remind her, she wanted to do it Monday (TOMORROW) or Wednesday. I picked Wednesday because it was the lesser of two evils, but now I have to not only do the marketing project, but I have to make up a PowerPoint and a report for my internship by Wednesday morning.

Not to mention that this week in my physics class we have TWO homeworks due instead of just the usual one, one on Monday and one on Friday. Plus a women's studies quiz on Wednesday and an Equine Marketing quiz on Friday. Ooh, ooh, and I'm taking on of my mom's friend's daughters to school with me on Friday. She's a senior in high school and wants to see what Ohio State is like. Did I mention I was REALLY hoping to start studying for finals this week so I don't have to cram all next week? Ughhh.

 

[Zany Tiger]

Please Mr. Executive Chef person I know I've been at this hotel for 15 years and have been working in the banquet department as a captain for a huge amount of that time, have been talked down too by gueats, told I will never leave this hotel, already work 50+ hours a week, but please please don't think I'm used to seeing large pieces of meat fall on the ground and end up back on the grill or a pan or a plate. Please, thats just sick, just throw it away. who knows whats on those floors by then, everything! 🙁

End Rant

Thankies 😀

 

[turqoise]

Ugh... I'm so mad at myself. I adopted a stray cat in August and it turns out she was pregnant (naturally), so I've been raising her four kittens for almost five months now. Two of them have gone to absolutely awesome homes and I'm really happy for them, but I've had the other two for a long time and I was having a really hard time finding anyone who wanted a cat. They are SO wonderfully mannered and adorable and cuddly, I was thinking about keeping at least one but my parents/roommates would kill me and I don't have the money. Then my friend told me that her coworker was looking to adopt TWO cats, and I was ecstatic because they could stay together, and brought them over there the other day... only to find that the girl smokes cigarettes inside all the time and the apartment looks terrible. But at the same time she's nice, she has experience with pets, and she spent forever picking out a good healthy food and tons of toys, so I left them there anyway! Now I'm freaking out because I can't live with myself putting them into that situation if they end up getting sick. Should I try to get them back? Is it too late? Will they be fine? I feel so responsible for anything that happens to them. 🙁

 

[Jamr0ckin]

I just got a call from a very special client just now. One of my favorite patients just died. A sweet, loving 13 year old Doberman who had surgery in August to remove a mass from her spleen which came back as a hemangiosarcoma. I'm very sad, not only for the loss of the patient, but for the owners who are very, very emotional about their pets.

 

[psilovethomas]

I've had ear aches and tinnitus for the past year. At first I was told I have a dysfunctional eustachian tube 🙂confused🙂, then was told I just have an ear infection (for 11 months?) and was given antibiotics which worked until I stopped them, and was recently told that I have fluid in my ear by the school PA. I have an appointment with my primary care provider today because they won't accept the referral from my school's PA. Hopefully I can get some answers this time that will help me get over this. I seriously want to cut my ears off.

 

[Whyevernot55]

Dear everyone,

Stop arguing with me about things I can't change. I am under-caffeinated and I might actually punch you in the mouth.

No love,

[ThePrismGirl]

ARG!! Davis, why won't you be kind and let us know if we got in/waitlisted/rejected? The deadlines on my other acceptances might actually come and go before you even MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!!! And you even get to accept a higher percentage of your interviewees than most other schools. Just... PLEASE TELL ME SOMETHING. ANYTHING. Preferably good news, but seriously... I need to know.

On a secondary note, I can't believe that I'm seriously considering a Indiana-California long distance relationship. Been there, done that, realized how much it sucked after two years of misery and constant insecurity on his part. Why couldn't I have found perfect guy after I moved? Or at least an extra year earlier, so I could think about asking him to move there too?

There we go. I feel better. Anyone else having to deal with losing a boyfriend/girlfriend because of moving to an OOS school? I know I can do long distance, because I was alright in my previous one, but I don't want the stress of the partner being insecure again. And seriously, all I was doing was going to school and working, I never went out or met anyone, and he was constantly asking me about my TAs, because there was nobody else I actually came into contact with. I kinda feel like I should just be single during vet school, that way there are no distractions... but if I move to Indiana, I KNOW I'm going to really really really miss having a bed-warmer... and cats just don't cut it.

Ah. Alright. I may be able to focus on my Micro final now.

I am not moving to an out of state school now but I have done the long distance thing in the past and it definitely was not the most enjoyable thing I have ever done! And I kinda was the insecure one so I can see where he was coming from (not that it is ok!) I think the best advice I can give you is to:
1) Ask if he wants to come with you if you are going to go...why not at least make it an option (if you want him to follow you).
2) And..why not just give the long distance thing a try if he does not want to follow you. Just make sure before leaving you talk about things that have bothered you in the past (the insecurity thing) and explain that you want everything to stay very honest so that if either of you are over it you can just break it off. At least you will have given it a try!
3) If all else fails, consider getting a large dog to snuggle with...it is more like a human than a cat when it comes to warming the bed! 🙂

can't we all just get along 🙄

okay back to work. my rant is that there are no clients here to go back to work on... BORING.

I've dealt with it... twice. I ended up dumping my ex because he was insecure. But I'm not supposed to post on this thread ever again, even if it's a reply because it provokes RAGE. Anyhow, you can PM me if you'd wish 🙂

I made a post on reddit asking advice from Irish people about my situation with trying to get my SO over to Dublin with me. People were giving really great advice and then someone trolled me saying I was so desperate to go to Dublin because I was "too stupidto get into US vet schools." (And yes, it was in bold and italics.)

I am usually able to brush stuff like this off but it really hurt.

Now I am incredibly angry that I let myself be effected by some random loser online.

And I am also very angry that there is no way to punch someone in the face through a computer screen.

oh PUHLEASE. There is NOTHING wrong with going to Dublin for vet school - it's freaking awesome and they are going to train you to be one dang good vet!!!

 

[awaring1]

No. It was on reddit.com/r/Ireland

Since that post they have told me that they have made albums that have gone platinum in some countries and my only accomplishment was "getting my daddy to write a cheque to an Irish school."

It was then that I was forced to laugh at the absurdity and ignorance.


UPDATE: He is now claiming to be Jim Corr from the popular Irish band The Coors. Wow this has really turned into a very amusing topic.

Ugh... I'm so mad at myself. I adopted a stray cat in August and it turns out she was pregnant (naturally), so I've been raising her four kittens for almost five months now. Two of them have gone to absolutely awesome homes and I'm really happy for them, but I've had the other two for a long time and I was having a really hard time finding anyone who wanted a cat. They are SO wonderfully mannered and adorable and cuddly, I was thinking about keeping at least one but my parents/roommates would kill me and I don't have the money. Then my friend told me that her coworker was looking to adopt TWO cats, and I was ecstatic because they could stay together, and brought them over there the other day... only to find that the girl smokes cigarettes inside all the time and the apartment looks terrible. But at the same time she's nice, she has experience with pets, and she spent forever picking out a good healthy food and tons of toys, so I left them there anyway! Now I'm freaking out because I can't live with myself putting them into that situation if they end up getting sick. Should I try to get them back? Is it too late? Will they be fine? I feel so responsible for anything that happens to them. 🙁

I've typed a response and deleted it several times now because this is one tough situation and I don't know quite how to respond.

I wonder if she realizes the health risks to the cats if she continues to smoke in the house. I'd try to get into contact with her and explain to her the risks she's taking. Otherwise, I'm not sure there's much you can do since they're technically her cats now. 🙁

i think posting on this Rant thread too much probably doesn't help. i'm sure it just brings more anger/sadness/depression the more you write on it.

I can't even read this thread much anymore because it is depressing to see the same people write in it so much, it also makes me mad if people over use it for silly things. not every problem is worth ranting about

I could argue that writing out your problems and complaints(wether it be on SDN or in a diary) is theraputic for some, and is a way to relieve stress. Keeping it bottled up inside and then exploding can be detrimental to the individual blowing up and others around him/her. If individuals(that post here "all the time for every little thing") didn't, would they half as funtional as they are now? IDK I'm not a brain doctor type expert, but it makes sense that getting things off of your chest that bother you is a GOOD thing. Sometimes things that bother one person won't bother the next person and vice versa. For example it doesn't bother me that complete strangers come to a space in the big infinity that is the internet and type some words that represent their feelings, but it bothers you. Ehh, to each his own.

Now I'm wondering what stupid, inconsequential stuff I may have ranted about in here over the past month or so.

FAILCat goes in for bloodwork tomorrow because he will. not. regulate. (Normally, you adjust his insulin, find happy numbers, and he's good for another 6-8 months with minimal tweaking.) I'm kind of worried about what might turn up on the panel. Western will be sending out e-mails in another week or so. I haven't slept in close to 48 hours courtesy of a paper that is not happening (in spite of much effort). And I actually found myself engaging in pointless SDN drama today . (Bad CT. Bad bad.)

Be forewarned... I sense an asinine rant materializing in the very near future.

haha, your rants are usually funny(like cats breaking random things)

Just tell FAILCat to homeostate already!
But seriously I hope he gets back on track soon.

As of this afternoon... we have a happy BG!

At least we did until somebody made the mistake of leaving buffalo wings in an accessible locale. It's a very safe bet that we do not have a happy BG at the moment. (We do, however, have a very happy cat.) 😳

Bloodwork was more or less normal, with the exception of a few values that can probably be explained by one of the medications he's on.

Not loving the persistent WBC issues, though. If he were an HIV patient (can't find much information on FIV in this regard), his results would point to advanced disease and a crappy CD4:CD8 ratio.

I know he's declining. I've accepted this. But, for some reason, I still have a really hard time seeing it on paper. I know I should be thrilled that he's come this far (and I am)... but my inner idealist still wants to believe that he'll eke out something vaguely resembling a normal lifespan. And my inner realist is coming to the realization that it's pretty unlikely.

They're kinda fighting at the moment.
