@sunny I so could have used those today. The upstairs neighbor suddenly has a small child running around. ...for 7 hours. It drove me nuts.

@macha
I like my reds like I like my women: firm, full-bodied, and able to punch the shit out of you.

I won't lie. I laughed out loud at this.

@ganymede But the questions are - why? And are you usually a red drinker who likes the wines mentioned in the blend.

Yeah, I'm nosy. ..or just wanting to know to make notes.

@too-old-for-this I mean, it's good the kid has no interest... I guess?

@too-old-for-this the tasting notes sound delicious to /me/, but my tastes are not everyone's.

Why not get a couple people over who might be curious, and open a bottle? Chances are good someone will like it.

I don't know how old your kids are, but if they are teens, you could maybe let them try a small bit, and explain to them the whole crimes connection to the D - O - G -G.

@too-old-for-this He has also started getting involved with wine. I found this out when ordering booze for delivery yesterday.

But I wanted cheap fruity wine to get low class wasted on, and didn't try them.

@moth I represent Queens, she was raised out in Brooklyn...

I just ordered silly, fruity cheap ass wines to be delivered to my house. during my work shift.

I'm lazy and I'm going to be stupid later and drink cold wine outside in the heat, and love every second of it

@crawfish Alas, I have cases waiting to be enrolled. NYC can't handle their workload, so it gets shoveled onto me in my much smaller office.

Not that it's super bad, but I'm tired/depressed/want to cry - and I just want to log off work stuff, open the window to listen to the incoming storm, and nap while curled up with my puppy.

@solstice I appreciate the thought, but all that happened was I got taken off steroids, so I lost a shit ton of water weight, stopped eating/snacking as often, and kept walking the dog.

It does not feel like a big accomplishment. (I know, I know, 30 lbs is no joke. But brain weasels. the assholes.)

@crawfish Wait, I was supposed to take you seriously? (I kid. You're a great artist, and once I finally find a place to live, I want to talk to you about commissioning something.)

people love your stuff. I eagerly click on the crafting thread every time it pops up with a post, looking for more cats. And I don't even play on Arx, know who any of those characters are, and I'm not even a cat PERSON. So there. You make people happy, and that shit needs to be supported.

I've been angry/emotional just a ton, lately.

Angry at myself, most of all. I'm supposed to be working a second job, to make extra cash. I had to take time off, because I was just losing my shit. And yes, I'm angry at myself for not working 13 hours a day, feeling unable to, etc.

Angry at myself for not being able to give people the RP I think they expect/deserve.

Angry at every apartment complex I have applied to, that can't fucking send a text, email, or call me to tell me we didn't get the place.

Angry at all the stupid ads I'm getting about celebrating Father's day, and feeling like absolute shit, because I keep getting teared up and crying over all of it.

Angry at work, for penalizing my raise because I had to miss 4 (yes FOUR) days last fall because three people DIED in my family.

Angry at myself for being broken and not able to work out like I feel like I should be able to, in my head (Listen, my brain wants to think I'm still 25, can work three jobs, and somehow have a semi social life, okay? It will not accept the fact I have three (Well, now they think four) auto immune diseases that keep me in too much pain to act like a wild child anymore.) I've lost 30 pounds since December, possibly more at this point, and yet I'm still mad at myself.

Angry at my therapist for leaving the practice, and that it's taking forever for me to be able to get in to see ANYONE. Because clearly, I need to get back to seeing someone.

I am just glad you could find a place, Cobalt.

If I didn't have roommate coming in (buddy I've known for over a decade, she got a job here in my city after she lost hers to Covid from a city 1.5 hours away. So all the hunting has fallen to me, to go see things, etc. She also works the night shift remote for now, so yeah, I'm the daylight person), I would SO already be living in some tiny studio.

They have studios here that cost as much as my share of rent here, with utilities included. And gods know all of my stuff would easily fit in a studio.

sigh I am just hoping one of these places soon will just accept us. We're offering first, last, security, and if need me, an additional month's rent in advance.

@cobalt SO MUCH THIS. And it would be nice, if after you applied, they got back to you to tell you if they chose someone else.

Or if they listed what floor shit was on, etc etc.
(I may have spent a chunk of my weekend looking at apartments. )

My company had time off for Covid, etc. I got time off to go get the vaccine, but was told they stopped giving time off for people feeling sick because people were abusing. So I did mine on Friday, in hopes of not missing work.

@wretched OMG SO MUCH THIS

@aria Verizon bought AOL, so a lot of people with Verizon got aol accounts for email.

I may have one that I've had for almost as long as I've been RPing, but that's another story.

And yes, I am a total asshole/bitch/whatever.

No, no you are so NOT. those assholes deserve to be laughed out of EVERYWHERE
