What is Your Pet Peeve?

Well it was a bit more complicated then that. While I was growing up she NEVER accepted the fact that she had mental health issues. But with some people they are very noticable by the way they behave so of course it was obvious. Same with her being French. People could probably tell by their accent.

Some people are openly say they don't like French people which is really wrong. They were like that when she had cancer. According to my dad a doctor said their wasn't anything really wrong with her "Being french she was bound to make a fuss over nothing". That happened just before she died.

that's sad. i'm really sorry to hear that, dreama.

if you don't mind my asking, what kind of mental health issues did your mother have? if you'd rather not tell me, i understand. (otherwise you can send me a pm)

Not just that. I shouted at him a few times.

Their is a long story. He started by dumping rubbish in front of the front lawn so it smelt really bad. He was expecting the council to pick it up for him. I was ill at the time. That kind of scented guarden was the last thing I wanted.

The problem was I was on a really short fuse at the time because of Mom's illness and also being ill myself with ME like symptoms and he was doing everything he could to try and drive me out. I'm sure the council got really sick of us towards the end because we both made plenty of complaints.

Mum suffered from Depression. I'd rather not go into details about it. I'll P.M. you about it instead.

You asked me before. I told you before. Oh yes, and I once also called the police on him. He didn't like me drawing such attention to him since he is a drug dealer and drug dealers like to keep the police at arms length.

Do you really want me to bore everyone with the whole details of the matter. I'd rather not have to go into details. Except if he hadn't gone to prison I'd have eventually moved but I really didn't want to as I was there first.

In fact I DID end up spending a lot of time at my dad's place. Until he went to prison.

I mean it took me a lot of energy to do even the most simple things. I needed a stick to lean on when I walked. That's one of the reasons I left Uni. It took the hospital months before they saw me and they declared that all my organs were in good working order so nobody knew why I was so ill but by that time I was starting to get better.
 
my pet hate is when computer professionals get this 'elitism' bullshit talk, they practice a lot of put downs like, retards, fucktards, im far more elite than you, epic fail, owned, noob, tards, massive, god, leet, pwned, ftw (for the win) and all that BULLSHIT

those leet's talk has got to go, as does it just another form of 'cyber' gangsta talk, its just dumb

its just all fucking pathetic, they are very egotistical and immature and i DONT fucking care if they 'know' more it does NOT mean they 'WIN' i mean like the whole practice of 'knowing-it-all' has become a proving point to brag on the internet against the millions, like as if there is a 'real competition' to prove you're a member of some sort of elite computer-users group in the world.

I, for one was USING computers, long before most of those fuckers were even born, hell i was even flashing, erasing EEPROMs in the early 1980s,
Flash back to the present, to me, computers is just another consumer-applicance while to many of the youngster seems to consider it as an alternative to boy-racing in modified cars, so this 'cult' thing of the geekdom came to dominate young males fantasy.

Reality is that geeks dont know shit or want to know about real life passions like how Other people actually lives like anthropologist, economists, dentists, artists (no i dont fucking mean graphic artist using pootas), this including the apron brandishing fuckwits in cooking tv shows , a la-Gordon Ramsey wanna-be) they too are somewhat in an ideological relationship with rich arrogant pricks

blah in short, i dislike arrogant geek fuckwits who claims they know it better than anyone else.

They have no balls to to show their only human, and have no repsect for anyone else. It is like they cant seem to snap out of their alter-ego bent on some kind belief that they are a kind of 'part human and part computer' cyborg. That mentality is just sad and pathetic, and quite worriesome for how exactly the world will be like in 10, or even 20 years time the world could risk being in dire short of realistic people.
 
my pet peeve are bad headaches. i have a bad headache right now and i'm *not* a happy camper. i haven't gotten any sleep for the past several nights due to being manic, only got a few hours on friday night and 8 hours last night thanks to an increase in my sleep med under the on call psychiatrist's recommendation. now i've slept too much and have a headache because of it. good thing i'm manic right now because if i weren't, i'd *really* be in a ticked off mood!

<going to drink some coke classic to see if that will dull the pain>
 
Sorry about your headache, Hear Again. I hope you feel better.

I hate having headaches too. And how they tend to come at the worst time, e.g. when you have to go to class or you still have another 3 hours of work left.

thanks, nika. <hugs>

i'm supposed to go shopping with my sister today for a new flat screen tv. i don't really want to because i don't feel well, but i probably will anyways because i'm bored and miss watching my documentaries and news channels.
another thing i don't like about having headaches is that my ability to hear suffers. because of the pain, i can't concentrate on what others are saying.
oh well. at least it's not a migraine.
 
I can totally relate. When I have a headache I have the hardest time interpreting incoming sensory information. It feels like the people around me are speaking a language I don't understand. And lots of times I just want them to stop talking because many times the noise hurts (I get this even during regular headaches -- not just migraines because of my ear issue I mentioned before.)

Good luck with T.V. buying. Maybe you can explain to your sister you're not feeling well. Does she sign? If so maybe you can sign, even one-on-one.

that's another thing i forgot to mention. when i'm manic or have a headache (a bad headache or migraine), i'm overly sensitive to sound.

as for my sister, she does fingerspell, so perhaps i'll ask her to sign to me while we shop.

<crossing fingers that the stores we go to won't have their tv and electronics blasting at full volume>
 
Oh no that's the worst. I hope they don't too. I don't know if you're open to energy work but if you are I can send you some healing energy.

Would you like some?
 
i think i'm going to turn down the volume on my ci's and just have my sister fingerspell to me. thanks for the suggestion, nika!
