Are you pissed off? I'm pissed off. Vent Thread.

I thought I was OK about my housemate's girlfriend moving in with us, but now I'm not. The more I think about it the more annoyed I get that I was never consulted first and was instead told "When she comes to visit on the 27th she might be moving in, I'm waiting for her to make up her mind"

Um. How about next time you ask me before you've decided.

Also, she's 20.

You've got astigmatism, right? At least I thought it was you. My smexy new spectacles were only $500 and thought I was getting a great deal. (too dusty here to wear contacts all the time)

Nah just a really strong prescription

Speaking of wearing glasses isn't it just common knowledge that most people would prefer you not to say anything instead of telling them they look "studious"?

Not as bad as the last Dr I worked for that told me I look like a school marm (what the hell is a school marm anyway?)

I don't know. I think that chicks with glasses are hotter then if they didn't have glasses on...(however, people that just wear frames, or where the lens isn't doing anything at all. That kinda erks me) Just saying. Glasses add to the hotness. *shrugs*

Damn... they found high levels of radon gas (eight times the level it's deadly at) in the house we were supposed to move into this week. The realtor won't pay for the tests we had done, nor the equipment needed to REMOVE the gas, so we're looking at nearly four thousand dollars in tests, equipment and fees.

Unless we go to the county health department and see if they'll condemn the place. Then he'd HAVE to pay for it all to make it livable (and thus able to be sold), but we'd have to cancel the contract and that means that he probably won't sell it to us after we pull that move.

Ugh... it's never as simple as it seems.

For the past few years I've developed some OCD "ticks," which haven't really been a big deal.  I've got a weird eye-blinking protocol I do, and a jaw clenching thing that's not a big deal, but for the past few months I've started compulsively clenching my abdominal muscles, and it is wrecking HAVOC with my lower back.  I can't fucking stop doing it, but every time I do I get pain just shooting all the fuck over my spine (although I am getting TERRIFIC abs).

CA is the same way.  Did I mention I fucked up and rolled a stop sign a couple months ago?  $238 fine. 

I still don't know how your state hasn't rioted itself into the ground yet due to how much you have to pay for everything there.  The state tax rate alone is enough to cause bloodshed.

[chimera]

I figure if rioting is going to occur, it will happen if gas ever gets up to $5/gallon.  Or if we have the kind of summer where temps stay in the 90s/100s for weeks on end.  Hot weather always makes people cranky.

me too. You'd think the stronger the lens, the cheaper it would be. Pity discounts and all that

Maybe they figure we're too blind to read the receipts and charge accordingly?  Who knows.

A red light ticket out here costs nearly $600, on top of traffic school. I'm disputing mine.

I also hate how, unlike every other part of LA, the parking meter DOESN'T have "off hours" in WeHo -- especially on Sunset Strip. So at midnight, when you think you're in the clear parking at a metered spot without having to drop $2.00 for the hour, you're still fucked. It's the difference between paying $60-80 a ticket or $10-20 for valet, unless you feel like running out of the venue every hour to drop in more time in the meter.

[Aaron]

That sucks about ticket amounts.


Drone I hope your friend gets a new house soon. And finds the missing kitties... And you are a far better person then I for not curb stomping her...

[tim]

You see, here we'd be more likely to riot if you had to pay that much for a pair of glasses, because they darn well ought to be subsidised by the state by raising taxes from greedy gas-guzzlers :p (I kid, but not really)

[dee]

Shoot, that was after the insurance adjustment too. When I saw the receipt I remembered why I wore contacts and only got new glasses every 20 years.
