Your Day

Welcome to Japan, where nothing makes sense!

They want a white dude because only white people are Christians, and only dudes are priests...so it fits the "image of a Western style wedding".

It's derp, but it's a sweet-paying weekend gig. $100 for 20 minutes of work, and I usually have three or four a day.

I don't get that. Why hate being reminded that you're white? I feel like I sort of get it but not really maybe that is my issue that I have to deal with. I'd definitely trade out my black card for a white card if I could for like 2 weeks.

It's just been that way for awhile now. Part of the norm.

It takes more emotional fortitude to "return to normal" with a person who has harmed you than can be expected of anybody. I am certainly not strong enough. If you need to cut and run, you do it.

This entire post hit so close to home but I don't know if I"m comfortable enough to talk about all of it or any of it for that matter but this year has been good for me. Going back to learning to put myself first instead of others that have decided it was a great job to take advantage of my kindness. They decided to take my kindness for weakness and regretted it when I finally put my foot down.

Yeah, there isn't much you can do. They have to hit rock bottom and decide to change their lives/come clean on their own.

You might be annoyed but it's probably his way of getting stuff off his chest usually while drunk/high but it's still his process. Are you more understanding of his plight based off of what you are going through?

Sound advice that I was getting ready to type but saw your post.

That's how I am as well. When my mother passed, I felt like it was a good thing and she was no longer suffering knowing her condition for the past few years leading up to her death.

No, because when it has noticeably helped me, I show it on the forum. WD insists to constantly get people on his side while showing no sign of it helping. Sorry, but you can't just constantly complain and hope people will be there for you every time.

Agreed. If he just wants to scream to himself in a room full of people ignoring him then fine, but if he wants any sympathy or understanding after years of the same **** and no change then I'm sorry but I don't have the patience or inclination to sink my emotions into a lost cause.

I don't imagine it's going to have any real impact on his life given how extreme his problems are and it would just make me depressed every time I saw him going through the same cycle of self-destruction over and over and over again.

Found out why my Aunt has cancer. She worked in a hospital. The room where she worked was right next to the X-ray room. The construction crew had neglected to insert a lead wall between the drywall to absorb the radiation. So for years, everyday, 20 times a day, she was getting blasted with radiation.

Wow! How could someone forget to put in a lead wall... It seems so dumb that it can't be possible.

Zhanteimi · 12-06-2016, 06:45 PM

Are you fucking kidding me?! Is she going to sue?

Don't get me started on that! My grandmother had my aunt already sign a contract with a lawyer without meeting the lawyer first. So now they have to do everything this lawyer says and they haven't even met the guy.

Wow, doctors are really ****ing up lately.

My S7 (which doubles as my alarm clock) decided to get stuck in a boot loop and I've spent the last hour trying to fix it. I think I may (knock on wood) finally got things working again after multiple resets. I've lost all my data which is great because I don't even have my old iPhone anymore for smartswitch. And to make things even better I have to be up in 6 and a half hours for my oral exam... Awesome.

That exam shouldn't be too hard for you at least.
