cancer is a bastard.

it has my grandma in stage 4 thyroid cancer, and now its in her lungs.

she's struggling to breathe on her own today and my parents wouldn't let me go see her because they think it will stress me out and cause me to have a seizure, so spoonitnow is babysitting me.

i enjoy being with spoon, but right now I think I should be with my grandma. I never had much of a relationship with her because she has drank so much in her life, but now that she's been sober over a year, i feel that i've gotten to know her a little better.

im so bummed. and bored.

i'm high

i tried to find the high thread by hoping it was on the front page without having to scroll down but it wasn't so i thought i'd post here instead. i'm watching bourne supremacy too. but the ad had olive garden which is delicious kinda. oh snap germany.

high or not, olive garden is gruel.

most homemade "italian" made by been-here-for-generations italians is not very good or authentic. I love how people label you a food snob when you hate on any of the national chains-- red lobster, olive garden, outback, etc. Not only is the food bad, its fucking expensive. Same goes for mcdonalds, burger king, etc. Not only is the food bad, but its expensive.. unless of course you order off the dollar menu, in which case its not all that cheap still and its even worse than the gruel they shove down your throat from the full priced menu.

so ya, bigspenda, you pretty much suck at putting food in your mouth.

you say gruel, it's far from it, your internet hyperbole is annoying.

[boost]

you're right, if I had an olive garden dish in front of me and a bowl of gruel, I would pick the olive garden dish. Is that really saying much?

But really my biggest problem with the national restaurant chains that populate mall parking lots across the country, is that they are too expensive for what they are. If you live in any sizeable metropolitan area, you can find much better local restaurants that have comparable prices. Unless you're going for the all you can eat soup and breadsticks, then you're getting a terrible value for your dollar.

If you live way out in the sticks.. well that sucks for you.. maybe take up cooking as a hobby or something, idk..

i'm super sorry to hear about your grandma. if it makes you feel any better, a couple years ago my grandma had thyroid cancer and apparently was very, very sick in the hospital.. but nobody ever told me (I found out recently). my mom had told my older brother but not myself or my older sister. thankfully she made a full recovery but it still boggles my mind how she thought it was more important not to upset me than to tell me that my last living grandparent could be dying very soon.

i pretty much agree with you about prices, but you do have to consider all the staff they are paying, rent, utilities, etc., and they still have to make a profit. but you're still right.

my biggest beef is, nutritionally speaking, the pure, utter crap that most chains serve. i could go on and on about this, but suffice it to say, looking at just about any restaurant regular should tell you something.

[wufwugy]

I typed up a big ass post on this, but halfway through I realized it wasn't the easiest thing to follow, so I'm gonna just make a synopsis here

I have a theory on why financial reform is not reform, and if true, it means that US is technically bankrupt

I suspect that the amount of toxic assets on the bank sheets is in the tens of trillions. This would explain why Treasury quickly changed bailout plans from purchasing assets to injecting liquidity for the purpose of propping up operations, why the Fed/Treasury/White House are encouraging financial sector activity and growth, why the zombie banks are still zombies yet nobody is talking about it.

IMO, back when TARP was passed, Paulsen and Treasury went and had a look inside the bank vaults, and saw that the amount of bad loans and debt within was so enormous that if they opened the vaults, the floodgates would have been released, US govt and econ would have taken on 2x/3x its level of debt overnight, then all confidence would have been lost, and the nation would have collapsed. Releasing the information within the bank vaults would have been like staring at Medusa

The Fed/WH/Treasury plan is to keep the toxic assets hidden as much as they can, and boost banking activity enough that over this decade and the next, they will gradually pay down the loans with profit and inflation.

It's going to be a very, very long time before 13T lost in homeowner value so far, undisclosed trillions already given to the banks, etc, will recover. Then next decade or later when we have a recovery, there will be no regulation and people will have forgotten and an even bigger scheme will be hatched

So my grand mother died Friday, after a whole day of breathing about 6 times a minute for close to 24 hours. She was pretty in her casket/coffin/whatever. I cried my eyes out, and so did my preacher father.

Anyway, my aunt and uncle is staying with us, and my aunt thinks that spoonitnow is a setup from Satan to keep me in bondage. She thinks we are unequally yoked, and all this other stuff.

Just holy shit. I'm sitting here nodding my head as she spouts this shit from her mouth, I know she means well, but I'm beginning to think she's a nut job. Worse than me.

Fuck. She's nice, but oh my god damn praise be to baby jesus!

[wufwugy]

next time you should tell your aunt that spoon makes you do dirty things in your pooper

unequally yoked?

I informed your mother last night over and over and over about it being illegal

[Chelle]

pft she doesn't care that it's illegal, she lives on the edge B-)

edit- btw, we're trying to get this border collie pup for my mother, but the last two days we've been by the person's house they haven't been home, it makes me want to post their phone number on 4chan and let them get trolled.

But I'm too nice for that <3

Are you sure spoon will play well with a border collie? You may have to separate them for the first few weeks then gradually introduce them to each other

Today was the first day of my new job. It doesn't pay well enough for the commute I have to deal with, but it pays better than the nothing I was doing before. I'm hoping it's true what "they" say about it being easier to find work when you have work and will be looking again pretty soon.

also, synthetic urine ftw.

How prevalent is drug testing in the States these days?

[Hawk]

Basically, if it's a decent job you can expect a drug test. My experience is in office/tech jobs, so it may be different in other types of work.

I think its pretty common across the board. Business insurance pretty much requires you to have a drug free workplace. Knowing that tons of people smoke weed, they can force this rule and then be able to deny tons of claims after the potheads fail the drug test they are forced to take after they get hurt on the job or whatever.

I've never been tested

[Chelle]

i had to have a drug test when i worked for lowes corporate, but i didnt pee in a cup, i had this swab thing put in my mouth for a few seconds, then they tested it, and i came out clean because im a good girl who doesnt do evil things like drugs.

actually i would do pot if it was legal, because i hear it helps shit, and at this point if it helped itd be a great thing.

in other news, we have a new border collie named tealie.

[BooG690]

You don't smoke pot due to legal reasons? I'm sure it's easy to get where you live. Are you scared of getting caught by the FBI?

Myths and Facts About Marijuana

I don't do drugs, just weed.

unfortunately, afaik weed shows in your pee quite a bit longer than most, or all, hard drugs. crackheads only have to quit for a short time to pee clean (a few days to a week). I'd have to quit for months. it's not fair!!!!

I'm just glad that most places only do the simple pee test rather than hair tests.
