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

That blows K. But ya, I would get his info and then kick her ass to the curb. But ya, I would look into getting a two bedroom place. Or just splitting the rent if you both can afford it...

[Hydra]

I admire your patience K, I would have kicked her out a long time ago.  The simple fact that she is bringing strangers into your home all the time is just creepy, you should not have to put up with that.  I mean if she simply has to get laid she can go to their places.
My advice is talk to her and tell her about the car.  If she wants to pay for it I would give her another chance as long as she stops bringing these random men into your home.  If she is unwilling to pay for the damages (or get the guy to do it) then simply throw her out, no questions asked.
I've had my fair share of crazy roommates and had to throw a few of them out, it isn't fun but sometimes you just have to do it.

I have something that is called Tietze's syndrome, which is similar to Costochondritis and involves swelling of the cartilage that connects the ribs to the sternum.  The pain is usually in my upper chest and left shoulder but right now it is painful to breathe.  It isn't serious and usually goes away on it's own in a few months (according to my doctor) but there is also nothing I can do about it except rest and take pain meds, no real treatment.  I'm fucking tired of it and just want it to go away.

Oof, Hydra, that sucks   I got lucky, apparently my periodic chest pain and trouble breathing (hooray for sharing symptoms with heart attacks, amirite?  ) was just chiropractic subluxation.  My primary care at the time told me I should start seeing a chiropractor (which I definitely need to do more often, but that's my own problem) and it would at worst be less frequent, and at best, it would stop entirely.  Since moving to Providence, I've seen my chiro a lot less, being that he's in Fall River, down by my parents', but it worked well when I was actually seeing him regularly.

Being a syndrome, is this something that "goes away on its own in a few months" for good, or that it kinda goes dormant after a few months and it'll come back later? 

*hugs* Either way, I hope it dies down sooner rather than later!

[tim]

is a bit of an understatement right now.

[Hydra]

Thanks guys!

I don't know if will lie dormant and flare up later.  I just know that it usually starts either if you have an accident/trauma or if you are under a lot of pressure.  It is usually worse when I am tired or have been overdoing it a bit like now.  The pain itself isn't really that horrible but it is constant so it gets really irritating after a while and I just get so tired of it.  I usually don't take any pain meds but I have to when it gets bad, otherwise I would just go insane.  The plus side is that because I take them so rarely they work really really well.

You have my sympathy Ash, and you should go and see your chiro more often, chest pains suck!

Thanks for letting me vent about my roommate, guys. I was really tired/stressed/annoyed about it yesterday, but I've calmed down immensely since thin. She actually was TOTALLY horrified, and it turns out that the kid who hit my car (and was in my room @ 3am) called me yesterday to talk about getting the car fixed- so that end of it should be fixed soon. He really appeared to sincerely feel like a total asshole and was so embarrassed. He wants to avoid involving insurance and pay out of pocket, if he can (which I don't blame him. car insurance is expensive enough up here w/o points being added) so I'm going to get an assessment done to see how much it will cost- if its reasonable, he'll pay out of pocket. If not- we'll file an insurance claim.

As far as living with said roommate- I had a talk with her about everything- I told her that the overnight guests really need to stop. I think I've given her enough chances already, but nothing about the situation is urgent. One phone call to my landlord and she'd be gone, so I'm willing to let things ride through the summer and look for a cheap studio for me or a 2br for myself and my other roommate.

[Naylzie]

Wow.  A surprisingly amicable solution on all fronts.  Glad it's working out so well!   

[chimera]

is a bit of an understatement right now.

I'm sorry you're sad, dear.

[Aaron]

is a bit of an understatement right now.

That sucks. Hope you start feeling happier soon.


Threat I'm sorry about your dad. I don't really know what else to say...

[threatsicle]

There isn't much to say. Things you deal with.

[Hydra]

I'm really sorry about your father Threat.

mesothelioma- that has to do with asbestos, right? In any case, I'm sorry to hear the bad news, threat. At the same time, good for you for being strong. If i remember correctly, your family has called upon you numerous times in the past and you've always been there for them. Whoever gave you that advice was right- it's terrible what's happened, and you'll be there when your dad needs you- but it's NOT selfish of you to continue enjoying your personal success.

@Nayl
Thanks. It was pretty reasonable. I still don't love her, though- and I will feel MUCH better when my car is fixed. :p

[rokken like dokken]

Yeah, mesothelioma deals with asbestos. 

FUN FACT: Canada still mines asbestos but sends it to countries where it is not yet illegal, knowing that it very likely does cause said condition.  HOORAY US!
