Oftentimes, I wonder how many people (including myself) in my generation will live to old age when it seems like things in world are only getting worse with all of the lunatics, shootings, murders, etc.  It almost seems impossible and I don't even want to fathom what it will be like for my young niece and nephew's generation.

I also think about that sometimes. (Especially since I became an Aunt a couple of years ago) But I try not to think about it too much. I already went down that road several years ago. In addition to stressing over my own gender issues, it made me a total wreck. I'm not one to bury my head in the sand, but at the same time, I don't need to drive myself insane worrying about things that are beyond my control.

I'm more scared of fracking cars than murderers and stuff. It's so damn easy to get in a wreck or get run over. >.<

I can understand that.  Stressing over it day and night isn't healthy at all, but at the same time, I am curious as to what the future holds.  At this rate, we all might just be cavemen and cavewomen running around with clubs 20 years from now.


@ Trista same here.  Too many cars on the road!  I'm actually more scared of than that being murdered.

My mom is always worried that I am going to get run over when I am out walking. But I always assume that all of the drivers are not paying any attention at all so that helps to keep me safe. You know what I am truly worried about when I am walking? Walking somewhere that doesn't have a sidewalk and twisting my ankle in a friggin rabbit, mole, whatever hole. You never see them until your foot gets caught in it and BAM!! down you go. I've damn near broken my ankle a few times because of this.

I'm thinking it's time to shave. I don't have a razor here though, forgot to bring it with me.

Thinking I need to join a crew for GTA V onine so I can get that shotgun and earn more xp.  I need to really sit down and take some time to explore different PS3 crews and which ones I feel would meet my needs and vice versa.  The ironic problem with that is that I'm too busy playing GTA V Online to focus on it lol!



Now I'm thinking about trigger warnings.  I understand why trigger warnings are needed for some topics but honestly, it can get very tedious trying to decide what may trigger someone and when it comes down to it, ANYTHING can be a trigger.  I need to go back and reread the TOS but I wonder if it would be allowable to just have a trigger warning in my signature saying "WARNING: EVERYTHING I post may contain a trigger.  If you feel uncomfortable with this then please don't read any of my posts and skip over me.  Thank you for understanding."  That way, I'm covered and I wouldn't have to sort out what posts needs trigger warnings. I'm sure after 11,000 + posts many will see it. 

This reminds me of a time in 6th grade where I had to work with percentages in math class and our teach said always make sure to put the percentage sign at the end of the number but I didn't feel like it so I put a percentage sign at the top left corner to represent that all answers should have a % at the end and when she saw it she said something along the lines of "I've never seen a percentage sign that represents ALL of them....stop being lazy and write it out." LOL

Woah... Thats quite a thought! I too enjoy GTA V online. I dont get to play it enough to really get into it deep but add me sometime and maybe we can tear up the town. My PSN is BugzyBunny.

Also, im thinking i should go to bed, but its so late/early that i know i wont sleep much cuz everybody will be up in an hour or so

I'm thinking that its funny the way some cashiers try to explain something over the phone when they call for help, you can ask them the same question and they say one thing, but when you actually go there in person to look at the transactions, it turns out something different. But at least if I got it right now, she won't be short when she does her till tonight. Gave me a chance to caution her against setting a prepay while someone was already pumping though. I've seen too many cashiers screw up that way and it can cost us money when it happens.

I was standing in a line of people waiting patiently as the cashier was having some difficulty replacing the paper roll in the Zon machine. She looked up and became rattled as all these hostile eyes were staring at her. I could feel her anxiety and it only made her fumble all the more. Finally this jerk guy about three people ahead of me started getting mouthy toward her and I blew up and in a loud voice said, "Shut up jerkoff!" then in a calmer tone told the girl not to worry, she was doing just fine and that we'll all be patient. By the time I made it to the counter to pay for my gas and other purchases I thought she would spring over that counter and kiss me, she was so thrilled to have an advocate. Retail can be tough on employees too, we need to be considerate.

Oh, last night, she ended up ok, although called me one more time because she was $200 off in lottery, but it ended up being the girl the night before writing down the number without a 1 in front of it, so it was 10 $20 tickets off by appearances, but in reality, it was fine.   

All of our things for the register, telecheck, lottery and phone pins are simple drop ins and close the lid, no muss, no fuss.

We do have one girl that gets really flustered if more than two people are in the store at the same time, lol.  She makes a lot of mistakes, but most are simple math stuff that is easy to fix with no loss. It isn't easy finding good reliable clerks that won't rip you off around here.

Its toasty today, about 80 degrees F and sunny and nice.

63º F in Massachusetts, cloudy. Since it's December, that's tee shirt weather!

That reminds me of something I saw awhile back. I was at the Dollar Store stocking up on bathroom supplies (the best place for it) and there was the sweetest older lady in line in front me. She asked this total bitch of a cashier where "those one suckers with the sticks are?" and the bitch snapped back at her: "OH?! YOU MEAN THE DUM-DUMS?!" and the lady said "yes" just as polite as she could be. I thought to myself..."Wow, what a bitch!". I paid for my stuff and left the store. Once I got back home, I looked up their corporate headquarters and reported her. I haven't seen her since and hope she got fired over that. She was way out of line, and you know what? I don't care if that woman ever finds another job. Screw her. Anyone that acts like that should not be in that line of work in the first place. I was so shocked because I have always been treated with respect there and most other people as well. I tend to recognize most of the workers there so she had to be a newbie....worthless sack of crap.

If my hair ever got shaved off I have a feeling I would have an emotional breakdown. It took years to grow from baldness and it'll take years to be at a point where I'm happy with it.

I think YOU better watch what you say there, buddy boy! Don't make me write you in as a character in a fanfic and have you get stomped by some girls.

I am always stuck cleaning up other peoples puke.

Definitely.

Malachite and Trista, you need a "Canyonero."

I am in love. Very much so. At my girl's place now. She is everything I wished for and so much more.

Merry Christmas everyone

everyone all together: awwww!

Let's see, after graduating college, and moving to California, and assuming I'm single throughout this. If I save $500 a week I'll have like $25,000 within a year; that's enough for SRS and possibly some new boobs (or maybe other things instead). If I save $500 a week for 4-5 years, that's about $100,000-125,000 and that's enough to have a baby. If I somehow manage to save $500 a week for 4 years after having a baby because I'm married or whatever, that's enough for a downpayment on a reasonable house in California.... Ugh I don't even know if this is realistic, can you live without half your paycheck in Cali? >.>
