Raithe Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 My father got invited to a week in France and he just left, so I get the house to myself for awhile. Started taking apart mom's old medical bed since dad kept putting it off. Got halfway through the job and suddenly all the sockets change size to tools I don't have in this toolkit. Of course now I have to find a ratchet set, but... Well, my dad has car tools, DIY tools, garden tools, clock and watch repair tools, lathes and a few other sets of stuff scattered around and locked up throughout his room, the garage and the shed and I can't find anything....

The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder. -Teknoman2- What?

Guard Dog Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 I fished all morning and wached Sunny chase baitfish in the shallows all afternoon. That dog goes through life with all the care and subtelty of a category 5 hurricane. I caught two bonefish off the old pier in Ullmore Cove. Or maybe it was one. It looked awfully familiar. You're not allowed to keep those so I put it back. I caught a sheepshead later, big enough to keep but since it was the only one I put it back. He's lucky. One more and they would be in the pan right now. Now just relaxing, reading e-mail and drinking a fine 9 year old bourbon from a coffee cup. 2 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
Tale Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 Is there a word for "paranoia brought about by positive events?" Asking for a friend. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Orogun01 Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 Is there a word for "paranoia brought about by positive events?" Asking for a friend. schadenfreude? I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
Tale Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 Is there a word for "paranoia brought about by positive events?" Asking for a friend. schadenfreude? Nah, that's enjoying another's misery. This is more like the opposite of that. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Orogun01 Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 At any rate, if there isn't a word you should just make one up like: "paraoptimonium" 1 I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 These don't really look like good drinking buddies to me: They don't but some others who attended were actually willing to talk (although they were the minority and universally realized they had gotten in over their heads and hadn't really realized who had organized the march or who they would be marching with): 1 "Geez.

Azdeus Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 Cut my palm at work today, doctor glued it together and gave me antibiotics for ten days. Considering the amount of grease, dirt, rust, asphalt and various road dusts I also got a tetanus shot. I am concerned that he just told me to wash the wound with soap and alcohol before he sealed it, so I'm worried there might be more grit and dirt in it. Also, the I was supposed to be able to work and use the hand as normal according to him, but since it's already started bleeding again after taking a shower (Wore a latex glove and sealed it with a rubber band, so it didn't get wet.) and typing this message, it's already started to bleed through the bandage. HA! Good fun! Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

majestic Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) Things sometimes really hide in plain sight. I've been looking for my XBox 360 controller for a while now. I looked everywhere. Really. Or, uhm, almost everywhere anyway. It was not to be found. For the past two days I thought I might have lent it to a friend who hasn't brought it back yet. Then I rifled through the entire flat again. Every closet, every cupboard. It's been sitting right next to me. Literally. There's a little space between my desk and the wall. The computer desk has a small board attatched to it where my flatbed scanner resides - a thing I haven't used in ages now. Stupid piece of manure is idling on the scanner. I probably put it there while cleaning the desk and forgot about it. It's sitting there and I swear it is mocking me. Yeah, true, it cost me exactly 0 dollars. *Smugface* You get what you pay for, right? Right? Edited August 16, 2017 by majestic 1 No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

teknoman2 Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 free healthcare is never really free. you just pay in a different way for it. and most (if not all) of the time it doesn't matter if you pay the doctor or he gets payed by your taxes, the quality of your medical care is based solely on the work ethic of said doctor. The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain.

Azdeus Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 We pay 18% of our income for what's called social insurance - a package consisting of healthcare, retirement funds and unemployment pay. Unemployment pay and retirement funds are separate from the taxes, unemployment pay is sort of "volountary".

Azdeus Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Drove a lorry for the first time today. Got into an arguement with a worthless driver at work, he said it was impossible to reverse into that particular spot. After about 5 minutes I got tired and told him to get out, got in, and I did need a second try at it, since I didn't know the particular turning circle for that lorry, second time I nailed it. I feel awesome.
