ya'll suck 😛 i still have 3 more weeks before i even have access to any of that deliciousness!

if you ever come here, we'll take you to "fish friday" and get you some good oil down 😀
 
Way underestimated how many things I needed to do before moving states to then move to a different country. Husband found me crying in the middle of all of our stuff, picked me up told me to walk away and pour myself a glass of wine...I have now proceeded to drink almost the entire bottle 🙄 I have two weeks left here, 4 tests next week then finals the week after and moving the Friday after finals....I'm going to need more wine.
 
So I raved about foal watch but the reality is that I have a migraine and I'm here by myself which kind of sucks. Still awesome though 🙂.
 
I'm dreading work tomorrow.

Absolutely dreading it.

I am on limited work due to my back/shoulder injury and have to be strict about it due to workers comp.

I can't emotionally handle watching other people work while I sit around and do (what I feel like) is nothing. I cut surgical drapes and did packs all day on thurs. I physically can't handle sitting either, so I stood for 10 hours and was on the verge of tears when I got home due to pain.

I can't take my muscle relaxers tomorrow morning because I do not trust myself driving on them because I get really loopy.

Wahhhhh just wahh wahh I need a wahbulance and some french cries.

I hope you feel better MommaFox.🙁


I hate group projects. I'm sitting at school right now waiting for my group to meet me to work on a presentation due Monday. The last time we met, one of them didn't show up at all, and it looks like both may not be showing up this time. I've been trying to get together with them since last Monday, and I tried to make it really clear that I can't work on it this weekend because I had things planned all day today that were made with my team that were made two months ago because this is the last time we're all going to be together and I have to work 11-8 tomorrow and where I work is by my house which is an hour away. So, I'm definitely not coming in at night to do it.

At this point, I have no idea what to do about it because I really don't trust them to do it themselves properly then learn the presentation by Monday and I don't want to do the whole thing myself. I've talked to the professor before about the problems that I've been having working with them even though the one girl did seem to be trying, but I don't want him to penalize me if our presentation is really bad like I'm expecting it to be.
 
Grenada is finally getting some very much needed rain (the dry season this year was pretty brutal on all the foliage) but i need tomorrow to be a gorgeous sunny day so that i can go to the beach and film a short presentation for a video app that's due wed! i was planning on doing it today, but it was cloudy and rainy on and off the whole day 😡
 
I was IPing a cat at work and handler didn't have a good scruff. Big old sick tom cat turned and dug his claws into me and then grabbed my other hand and bit hard right on the side of my knuckle. Finger is very swollen and I can't bend it. Of course we can't quarantine the kitty since we were in the process of PTSing it so it has to be sent off to KState. I hate today.

Ugh that sucks. I had a time we were putting a catheter into a 21 yr old, very dehydrated cat that was there to be PTS. The old guy still had a ton of fight in him. Luckily, I had a good enough scruff and threw a towel on him which he decided to bite the entire time, so things worked out okay. He did manage to scratch me, but thankfully it didn't break the skin so all was good.

You should probably go get that finger looked at if you haven't already.
 
My group ended up not showing up🙁

One of them had a game which is understandable, but if she knew about it in advance she could have at least let me know. The last time she didn't show up her excuse was "I was meeting with my coach" which is ridiculous because she said she could come at the time we scheduled and its only a D3 sport for crying out loud, so school should come first. I know that with my sport we're supposed to try to schedule things around it, but if there's a school thing that's where we're supposed to be unless its a game. I would think that a coach would understand (my coach certainly would) if I had to meet with my group and couldn't meet when he wanted to.

The other one told me that she would be available until a certain time today, and when I texted her, "whoops, I'm already there helping, sorry" even though I completely changed my plans to accommodate her. Followed by, I can't work on it tomorrow or later today.

I understand that other people have schedules too, but I gave them every possible available time that I could meet with them since Monday including times that were highly inconvenient to me.

The one girl wants to work on it over email now even though the last time we met she "didn't know if she would work on it if she was working on it by herself." The other one hasn't reached out to me at all, and I'm done trying to work with her. At this point, I wanted the whole thing done because I have other school things I should be working on, but it looks like I'm going to be pulling an all-nighter tomorrow finishing it because I feel obligated to wait and see if they do decide to contribute anything. Our presentation (which has to be exactly 15 minutes) is going to be so bad, and I can't wait until its over.

This is exactly why I cringe whenever I hear a professor mention "group" anything. I honestly do not get people who can't keep a schedule somewhat straight. Yes, I'm sure they're very busy, but SO ARE WE. I understand flukes and misunderstandings, but there are so many people exactly like your group—they just don't seem to believe that anyone else's time holds value.

I had a friend that wanted tutoring for Organic Chem sooo badly and I offered my time up for him. Time after time, he'd say he was held up (AFTER I texted him because I was already at the meeting place) and would be another couple hours. I'd tell him every single time that I would like him to be on time the next time because I have a lot of other things I can do and waiting for him to show up any second/hour prevents me from concentrating on any other assignment I might want to work on. Eventually, I just started waiting for him to finally make his 30-minute drive to campus and then go, "Well, I've been here for 3 hours and I'm tired," or "I've actually done just about all the Orgo in the past few hours that my brain can take!" and go home :meanie: After a few times, I told him that really, I was just furious with his lack of consideration for my time and we would not be studying together ever again. We're in physics together, and we are friends but we are not lab partners 👍

Ugh. Just remember that it won't be too much longer before you are free of them.

🙁 Ouch. Yes, you really need to get the finger checked out. Especially, if it was the knuckle. Infection could spread through your whole hand and up your arm, if the tooth went into your knuckle.
 
I will keep this short

I would personally like to hurt and torture, to the brink of death, my fiancé's brother. He's 31 yo.
Last night he got mad that my fiancé told him to grow up and get his life together (more truth could not have been suggested) so he decided to assault my fiancé with his own shotgun, RUN HIS DAD's TRUCK (bc he depends on his parents for everything... 31 yo) INTO OUR HOUSE TWICE!!!, and somehow managed to tell a **** ton of lies and had my fiancé handcuffed in the back of a cop car for 3 hours 😡
Fiancé was released from the car with no issues, but our friend that was with him somehow ended up in jail too. His brother is in jail on aggravated assault with a weapon charge, all of our expensive hunting weapons are confiscated (still not sure why) and now we have to somehow repair our house that we're trying to sell so he can move here with me. Because money wasn't already an issue 😡
:boom:
I could literally ****e a burning brick right now!
GGGGGRRRRRR!!!!!
I don't remember the last time I felt this insanely angry and I don't like it at all. I seriously need to scream.

Omg Emiloo!!!!! 🙁 That's horrific.....I'm sending positive vibes your way. I would be so angry too. 😡
 
Ugh. Turns out he ran into our house twice trying to run my fiancé over both times. My fiancé is a disaster emotionally. I can't imagine how I'd feel if my brother pointed a gun at me and tried to run me over twice. His OLDER brother who owns his own business and lives in our house for FREE. The argument started bc my fiancé asked him to start paying rent. Are you fecking serious?!?! 😡 After all he's done for you, you try to kill him 3 times. I'm so effing angry and feel helpless to make him feel better. To make matters worse, our friend shot two rounds in the air last night trying to get the brother to stop running my fiancé over, and ended up arrested for being an "accomplice to the crime"
:wtf: He was trying to save his life. A little simple-minded and redneck way of doing it lol, but he gets arrested?? Ugh. What a mess.
Good news is I finally got my wish of having his brother out of the wedding :meanie:
 
Emiloo-- I am so sorry. But please do NOT let the brother back into your house. He will probably be in jail for a while. But having been in a similar (although not near as scary) situation before, I have learned that you have to sometimes let go... I know your brother probably loves his brother and wants to help him in any way possible, but there is no point in putting your life, his life, or the lives of your friends in danger. Sometimes, people (like his brother and my sister) have to learn the hard way. Sometimes, they do learn their lesson, other times they do not and it is very sad, but I can promise that the amount of stress that got lifted off my shoulder and the relief that I felt once I realized I had to let my sister go was worth it. I still worried about her, wondered if she would end up dead, but I knew that I could not help her any more and trying to help her was killing me. Sending you and your fiance lots of hugs and well wishes. And I hope you can keep yourselves away from his brother and out of harm's way.
 
We're hoping they'll cover it. Just not sure if the fact he was living there changes things. It was intentional, so I don't know. And DVMD, this has been a constant argument between my fiancé and I. I 100% understand and completely agree that he needs to fall on his arse and have no one there to pick him up. This isn't the first time stuff like this has happened, but it's definitely the worst. Usually when it happens, my fiancé is upset, but wants to still help him. This time he acted very different. Told me his brother can't be helped and he's done with it, he's out of our wedding, and out of our lives. He even promised me which he never does unless he means it. I told him that I'M done if he isn't bc I can't handle it anymore. I'm tired of it affecting my life and our relationship, when I'm not the one enabling it. Time will tell but he seemed rather sincere.
The main problem is that their whole lives their mom has made it insanely clear that anything anyone ever does needs to be for Josh's (the POS) sake. So it's like engraved in his brain. His mother is a sick twisted witch. Anyway, thanks for letting me vent. I have no other way of getting it out.
 
And supposedly he'll be in jail for about a year (if his mom doesn't find a way to rescue him like always).
He had two bench warrants out, one for his DUI two weeks ago. His widdle mommy bailed him out (his 5th one) and he never showed up for his hearing. 🙄
He has sold his parents car 7 different times for an 8 ball of cocaine. A car, for an 8 ball of coke :wtf:
Every. Single. Time. Mommy finds a way. He's never learned a lesson in his life.
One DUI, he hit a tree, called his mom, she drove out to where he was, gave him her car to drive home, got in the driver's seat, and called 911 saying she fell asleep at the wheel.
:bang:
And the she wonders why he does whatever he wants. Because there are NO CONSEQUENCES.
:boom:

Fortunately, my parents let my sister fall on her arse. They did try to help her after the first time she was thrown in jail. They let her come back and live with us... until the one night that they went out for dinner and myself and my younger sisters were home with her... she got high off meth (don't know where she got the drugs), got mad at me and was threatening to kill me (I wouldn't allow her to use the phone, was trying to help her and keep her away from all of the friends that were doing drugs and stuff)... she grabbed a knife and that is when I ran to my room and locked myself inside. I was 16 (?) at the time. She was very close to breaking the door down. I was able to get a hold of my aunt (couldn't get a hold of my parents) and my aunt and grandma came over. The cops were called and I basically decided that I didn't want to have anything to do with her from then on out.

She has improved a lot since all of this happened, but it is still hard to trust her. I feel bad for not trusting her, but it is not my fault that she did what she did. Our relationship is slowly improving, baby steps, but I will probably never trust her 100% again and our relationship will never be like it was when we were kids.

Best of luck to you and your fiance. And big hugs to him, it is not easy to completely give up on someone that you love.
 
Euthanizing Rosie, our senior guinea pig, right now at the ER. This last week she's been going downhill - eating less and less every day, not vibrant like she usually is and has blood in her urine again today. Yesterday I found her burrowed away under her hay (never seen her do that) :cry:

I'm sorry 🙁

And Emiloo, your fiancé's brother should stay in jail. It sounds like he needs to start facing consequences for his actions. I hope everything works out.
 
Geez, Emiloo! I am sorry you have to go through that. I hope he stays in jail.

oh Rosie 🙁 I am so very sorry to hear that. the loss of such a special friend is never an easy one, hang in there :cry: 😍
 
Dear mom's friend:

You are a certified whackadoodle. No, I don't want to feed my on again/off again vomiting dog with a very sensitive stomach a RAW diet. I am so happy that you have seen the light. No, I don't think giving my dog salmonella will help his vomiting. I did not know that giving dogs "human strains" of bacteria would help them. Thank you for offering to assist us in this difficult time...I think I'll stick with the vets 😉

Sincerely,
I'm-only-a-vet-student-and-I-still-think-you're-off-your-rocker
 
I'm absolutely useless on Sundays after two overnight shifts in a row. I cant motivate myself to even do the things that I enjoy like pony riding...

Same.
And its not even like I got anything productive done by staying home. I got up this morning and decided I'd get a few things done before going to ride. And then proceeded to sit around on my butt all day so nothing has gotten done and I didn't even get to play with ponies

This. Coming on SDN and stating that you self injured and making vague generalizations about what is wrong is not help, and will not help you. It will, however, serve as a trigger for yourself and others on here who have struggled with depression and self injury. Please take the real help that has been offered to you. We all want to help you, and watching you decompose through a computer monitor while being unable to do so is terrible.

GET HELP.

this times a million. you need to find help. if you feel suicidal, you need to go to the ER, they will detain you, and get you help. PLEASE.
 
Agree with everything said, DVMD. You don't need to feel as bad as you do and by getting help you can work your way out of it. Cutting will absolutely not make things better.

Please get help and let us know when you do so we don't worry about you.
 
DVMD, for goodness sake, please please get help. I haven't the slightest clue what you have been through, but I do know that any responsibilities, dreams, or anything you hope to accomplish will not matter if you continue to just beat yourself up down to nothing. Above all else, your health should be your #1 priority right now. I have a friend who used to cut herself, and all it did for her was create a vicious spiral of increasing self hatred and did not help her in any way. Everyone on this forum is begging you to get help. Go to the ER, find a psychiatrist or therapist, talk to a close friend, eat a bucket of ice cream...ANYTHING but physically injuring yourself.
 
Please get some help DVMD 🙁 No one here wants to see anything bad happen to you.
 
DVMD, please take some time to find help as soon as you can. I don't think the school will frown upon you maybe even getting your husbandry hours in the US if you feel more comfortable finding therapy here. We are all really worried about you and just want you to find another way to ease the pain.
 
Hey guys, I'm fine. Sorry I worried everyone. I really am ok though, just taking things one day at a time. Thanks for all the kind thoughts and well wishes, they are appreciated. 🙂
 
My rant. I am currently staying at my parent's house 40 miles from where I work because the trailer that I was staying in got reclaimed by it's owner who was kind enough to let me use it for a while. I was lent another one that was supposed to be an upgrade, but was in storage for over a year and is now infested with mice and has a malfunctioning hot water heater, ie no hot showers. The icing on the cake was this article:

Yes, I live in the Texas/Oklahoma panhandle.
