What was that that happened in 2008 again?

Oh that is right. Just a little thing. The entire economy completely collapsed. That was it. Including the Banking, Housing and how many other industries?

Everyone lost their homes. That happened. Everyone lost their jobs too. Oh, that wasn't heard about nearly as much. however.

And all these billionaires got their asses bailed out, courtesy of your friendly government, bonuses and champagne hottubs included.

This false housing boom, where in Nevada alone, a house was going up every six minutes (if perspective is needed) for over a decade... oh everyone was prosperous.

You know what they forgot to mention? In 2008, and 2009, and 10 and 11 and 12? All those industries that suffered when it all went down the sink hole.

Everyone who lost their home was mentioned. And all those poor realtors, and designers and builders! and Dismay! the banks!

How about the framers? And the roofers? And the concreters? and the siders? And the landscapers? And the plumbers? and the electricians? and the sheetrockers? and the painters? and the masons and the interior designers and the welcome wagons and the friendly neighborhood markets and the bums on the corner?

Goddamn right I filed a return for 2008.

Losers need their child tax credit, you know. To make it through. Thank you for inquiring about that, State of Oregon, these many years later. I appreciate the concern and attention.

Thank you for inquiring.

Fuck. Stepped in a big puddle on my way to work, because it's dark, and you can't see shit some places around here. My shoes are soaking wet, but luckily I have another pair standing here, so I don't have to walk in them all day.

Lost out on making double time yesterday because I was so sick.
I had maybe 4 drinks throughout the night and went to bed sober. But being that I have been getting sick it hit me yesterday. Threw up at work, in the parking lot, in my mouth. And then slept the rest of the day but woke up with a fucked up neck where I had to have help sitting up it was so bad.

WHOOOOW

Good grief.
Thought that was just mostly for writer's workshop and other miscellaneous projects.
Figured that only 50 or so, of those at most, were (bored?) lukers.

We don't have writer's workshops here anymore. They are moved to LitReactor.

Those are all people "browsing" our forum.

That was considerate of you!

I mean, I generally think of NY subway stations as pretty filthy, but this is the first time I'd ever seen anything like that, and I saw it twice in one day. I hope this isn't an indicator of what's to come in 2013.

It was terrible I was sick at work, went to leave early and had to puke before I could get in my car. I wish someone was there to see it. Not becuase it was impressive, but because I wanted some backing when I tell my boss that I was actually sick.

I have been getting a little ill. Cassie has been on eth same boat. I had some taco bell and like 4 drinks throughout the night but the next day I woke up feeling next to death. And I have a bad shoulder and it was acting up to the point that I needed help sitting up.
My body was just angry for one reason or another.

You'd think. I swear, this place was crawling with them in 2007 though. They were usually looking at some thread titled "13 Year Old Pussy."

Someone should make a thread with a similar title and have it be about examples of how society has let you down, example being the vast number of people lead to this thread by Google.

I remember there was a Lindsey Lohan thread that had some ridiculous amount of views. And then we started making threads just to see how many views they would get.

We are getting evicted soon.
Homeless. I don't know where me and Issy are going to live, very soon. Maybe next week.

My husband kept saying that he was taking care of the condo bills and everything.
He didn't even send me a present or anything for Christmas. And all I asked for was a picture sent over the phone.
He wouldn't touch me for months at a time, when he lived here. Now I'm supposed to be excited about him moving back.

I'm all for older people wanting to study, but eh.. Please stop calling to ask me how to sign up for classes and just have your children/grandchildren do that for you. It's impossible to try to explain all that over the phone to someone that doesn't understand the internet. Makes for very frustrating phone calls.

Yeah, we talked about separation yesterday.
I finally told him everything I listed here. It's not how I feel, those are just facts. How I feel, is sick of it. Nor can we bear it financially, when I'm trying to take care of a toddler. Not knowing how laundry and groceries are going to get payed for each week. Insurance, utilities and house bills (where are we going to live) are a whole different level I have to tackle. Going over to horray of the day now, because there is a ray of sunshine.

Imke, that's funny. You are right about the grandkids.

Jaz, hope you feel better. Have you tried hot sauce? It clears my sinuses out like gangbusters.

Living with people is making me strangely anxious. I don't really like it. One of them is nice, but the other is fucking dirty. And I keep to myself for the most part, but I feel bad because I keep saying no (only 2 times) to the plans the nice one tries to make. He asked if I wanted to go to the museum the other day, but I was waiting on a friend and then I had to go do important stuff. And tonight he asked if I wanted to have a drink with him and the other roommate, but I really didn't want to. At least not with the other roommate. I just kind of want to do my own thing, but living with people, it's kind of expected that you form a friendship or something. But I don't know them. This is why I don't like living with people I don't know. Too many expectations. Anyways, his birthday is coming up, but I think my friend's b-day is coming up too and I'm gonna feel really bad if I have to miss the party for my roommate.

Ask the nice one if he wants to go for a beer (when the other guy is out). He may tire of asking you soon, and it would be in your best interests to stay on good terms - even if you don't want to hang out all the time.

Congratulations?

I don't want to go to dinner at my sisters place tomorrow, let alone see my mom. None remember, or mostly none, or know what I am talking about likely. I don't care. And I'm a little glad. I want to be left alone and just carry on with life. And. Fuck. this.

I've also had no one to talk to for three days now but the kids, for most of the day until late. James has gone to see different friends until late yesterday and the day before, and he isn't home yet tonight. I'm avoiding the phone and not calling any one and then getting sad because I have no one to call, which isn't true. But it is.

I'm forgetting all of this and not doing it again ever. I'd rather be shallow and emotionless.

I'm walking to the store for beer now because fuck this.

So yeah Noah, are congratulations in order or no? Maybe it's a blessing in disguise. You didn't like it there anyways right? Now maybe you can find a job that is more of what you would like to do.
Pepper, not quite sure I understand, but I hope things get better for you and maybe you'll end up having a good time at dinner? A lot of the times when I'm dreading doing something like that, I do end up having not so bad of a time. Well, either way, I hope it gets better Smile
