When I was in 7th grade, this asshole rich kid walked past my desk, picked up my glasses that were sitting on the edge of my desk (I didn’t need them while reading/writing), snapped them in half, and kept walking. My dad raised enough hell that they finally paid, and I mostly just wanted to crawl in a hole. This was also pre-Zenni when glasses coat $400 a pop. Gosh, middle school is the worst. That is 1000% the situation where the other family should pay for the broken glasses. I am sorry that happened to you. Kids suck. |

I’ve had a rough day. I’m fine, but there’s a chance I’ll be in bed at 8. I was supposed to have a date, but he kindly let me reschedule for tomorrow. I’m just emotionally drained.

So, in super small world random news….A client of ours was giving me a history on her dog today and somehow added in the fact that her best friend was in a car wreck on Thursday and was in the hospital. Turns out it was the driver I took care of. Her knee was shattered and she had surgery today. Has been at the hospital since the accident.
I’m so freaking glad i didn’t move her. I didn’t even think she was that injured 😳

Not the same, but young yogurt went home with a young man in college and forgot my glasses when I left. That mother fucker had thrown them away by the next day when I tried to retrieve them. What a tool.

TW death
I don’t want hair pats and technically it’s not the drinking thread so I’m not breaking any rules, but I feel like I need to get this out somewhere. but we just found out my 30yo cousin died last night. I am in shock and my sister is a mess (they were super close these last few years), my mom and his mom (her sister) are fucking messes. His family is in Colombia and he lives in Cali so they’re getting on a flight tonight to come claim the body and then clean out his apartment and everything is just holy shit. Wtf. I’m pretty sure it was an accidental OD (cocaine laced with fentanyl is my guess) but his friend told his mom they think it was a heart attack. Regardless of the reason it doesn’t matter, he’s gone and he was such a big part of my childhood memories that I can’t believe he’s gone.

In other news, our toilet is still broken and we had insane storms last night and we found water leaking in in 3 spots. And our POS HOA has been radio silent despite us reaching out.
I want a drink.

Oh my gosh, addymac sending you love. That’s so awful. I love all my cousins dearly and we’ve always been a part of each other’s lives so I can only imagine how painful it is for you and your family. So very young. |

Nothing like 3rd grade measurement to make a woman with a masters plus degree feel stupid.
Thanks a lot

Its a scary time to be an addict or even a recreationaldrug user. They are lacing everything with fentanyl.
I am so sorry

I don't just have money to buy glasses. If my kid falls and does some shit and breaks their glasses then ok. You just don't have glasses.
But the story is relayed to be that a kid pushed my kid causing his glasses to break you fucking right I'm asking about the fucker paying. Maybe learn to keep your hands off people asshole!
That's why asshole kids be asshole kids, no consequences.

TW more death
An 18 year old fell out of the dorm I lived in on campus this past weekend and died. He fell out of a bathroom window from the 8th floor (which is coincidentally the floor I was on). Horrific.
