what is your first world problem of the day?
The ability to empathize is a naturally selected trait subject to both genetic and environmental factors. It has it's advantages and disadvantages.
I have had to try to turn it off, or at least down a bit, because I am the type that will cry with the child that fell, and then want to protect them forever so that they never have to go through that experience again. But that doesn't work either.
Mom's gonna fix it all soon.
It's better to have too much empathy than no empathy at all. If you don't demonstrate it to young children they'll never learn it themselves.
I might lose all the data on my phone by the end of this month if I don't transfer it to a new device.
I need a good recipe for a peachy martini and my internet is slow.
“if you want to be a bird,” you said once, “with colorful plumage and buoyant trills, you must also be ready for hollow bones."
I need to get a passport for my trip to Africa but I have not the money right now to do so.
I know better than to ask.
But.
You can't manage a passport but you're going to Africa?
Bon voyage.
This is why we can't have nice things.

It's all expenses paid by a friend of mine. He actually worked everything out with the travel agency so I'm good to go.
I get to hang out with engineers and smart people while I'm there. 
Now for my next world problem, how many clean pairs of socks should I bring?
Now for my next world problem, how many clean pairs of socks should I bring?
Number of days + 1-2. If you're going in muddy places, more. Same goes for underwear.
Who needs underwear?
This is why we can't have nice things.
Planned to go to the beach today but the sun's deciding to hide today after a week of 90degree plus weather all week

Don't they have washing machines in Africa? 3-4 pairs of both, 3-4 shirts, 2 pairs of pants, and some swimming trunks is all you need,
qfft

We need more painkillers.
I'm holding.
This is why we can't have nice things.
I forgot painkillers when I went to the grocery store today, therefore work tonight is going to kill me.
Trazadone.

I have to support a cocaine habit and pay for my gambling debts
The woman who was going to buy our house backed out at the last second leaving us with a half-packed home and no tenants in our other place because we evicted them.
how the hell id you get them out so quickly?
I think they're still there but they found another place.
that makes more sense
I don't know the whole story.
What I do know is that my mom fired our Realtor and called him a prick, which he was, a big one.
He even had the gall to say "You can't fire ME!"
do you still have to sell the place though?
My ipod is stuck
Google Docs isn't talking to MS Word properly.
Sometimes I feel like a nut. Sometimes I don't...
There's a reason I avoid saunas, I hate being boiled. Apparently, saunas are disguised as buses these days.
Only found GB pounds in one exchange office, and even those weren't enough. I was gonna change more because the rate is quite low these days.
It makes me depressed when I read Bret Ellis' tweets
Eww that sounds awful.
I am out of laundry soap.
I seem to have also ran out of tallow and lye to make some more. 
yoga class after not doing yoga for over a year? ouch.
He's just saying what we're all thinking.
“why is it that every time I watch an episode I feel like I’ve stepped into a puddle of HIV?”
Eww that sounds awful.
Oh, it was.
Trying to find an anti-histamine that actually works. X_X

Have you tried claritin d?
I haven't bought any Claritin in a few years because it basically stopped working for me, but maybe I should try it.
Zyrtec usually works but they didn't have any when I went to Walgreens, and I was desperate, so I ended up with Allegra which worked for the first two days but now it's basically useless. There's just so much pollen in the air up here I'm not sure anything will really help much. I just want to be able to breathe normally again.

And if that doesn't work, you can have my bubble suit from when I overreacted to SARS.
Even Nasonex doesn't work for my allergies, but I'm kinda ok with that because I don't really like using nasal sprays.
My mom has been using Alavert and says it works really good. I don't know why but I refuse to take allergy medicine even though my allergies have been crazy recently.
if this keeps up I'd probably take crack if someone told me it would cure my allergies
I'll give you some free just to try. But after that you have to pay!
haha horrible
Left my fuckin' work boots in another town.
As long as your fucking boots are still working it should be all good.
And hi there guy who randomly pops up from time to time
Yeah, those are still good.
The other prob ain't so bad either what with living 5 mins. from where I work. And howdy.
My laptop battery needs to be replaced. It will not a hold a charge for morre than 45 minutes... Ugh. This computer is also like 8 years old. 2003... Lol. So, I suppose it's about time to be replaced.
And I also have the same problem with allergy medications. The only thing that works for me is Alvert D. Makes me feel jittery but it gives me relief like no other.
The best thing about dreams is that fleeting moment, when you are between asleep and awake, when you don't know the difference between reality and fantasy, when for just that one moment you feel with your entire soul that the dream is reality, and it really happened.
First world problem of the day: My mom only buys steak sauce (A1) when it's on sale. We just opened a new one today. It expired two months ago.
It's not as bad as it sounds. It tastes the same. In fact, we just finished up a bottle today that expired last August.

My mother has a huge walk in pantry. She is a pack rat and you can't usually see the walls, shelves or floors in there it's so full. My sister just cleaned it out. She tossed boatloads of expired food. My mom hates to waste anything and won't throw a damn thing away if she can get a quarter for it. My sister could only get her to agree to get rid of anything that was from 2009 or earlier. This mostly applies to canned goods, which she is convinced never go bad. I think they threw a lot away, but the rest is in my garage for tomorrow's garage sale... My mom wanted to donate it to the food bank. It took a lot to convince her that the food bank wouldn't accept it. In fact, my sister, who used to volunteer there, had to explain the policy to her before she would accept it. Sometimes my mother makes me craazy.

Parents did not have a wireless router... And since the ex took mine in the split I had to go buy one... dumb.
