Complaints about our own choices that are more interesting than the fuku whining
16Post them here!
Example: My itchy undercarriage.
I'm a runner. Lately I've been running almost every morning. I've noticed an itchy undercarriage throughout the rest of the day some days. I thought about remedying this situation by buying some goldbond (is that what people use?) or replacing my ancient running shorts, but it seems easier to just keep making the same choices and complain to you all about it.

I don't why, but your reference to undercarriage reminded me of this Austin Powers clip, which I still find uproariously funny to this day.
@ACraigL lol, just watched it twice and they didn't say undercarriage.
@Mehntok Haha, I know. It's another scene. Can't find the clip offhand, but here's the quote:
I'm hungry and there's plenty of food to cook but I don't want to have to figure out what I have, what to cook with it, pull it all out, set it up, do the cooking, clean up after myself, etc. I just want food. I could order out or go to any number of restaurants in my immediate vicinity but I don't want to when I have a house full of food--that's so wasteful, right? I have cookies and pretzels right in front of me, but I don't want cookies and pretzels, I want a real meal. Also, I have a cat on my lap and he's warm and comfortable and I don't want to get up. So I guess I'll just continue sitting here, eating nothing and feeling sorry for myself.
@goldenthorn I am always buying new and interesting foods to try, but once I am home I just can't fathom the idea of cooking. I end up a lot of hard-boiled eggs I have stashed in the kitchen.
The cat jumped off my lap to drink some water so I went--with many a huffing, put-upon sigh--and made some fucking food with the utmost minimum of effort. It didn't satisfy my desire for some nebulous type of Proper Food, so now I'm sitting here with a full stomach but dissatisfied sense of taste. I'm not hungry anymore but I'm still yearning for some flavour or mouthfeel that I can't quite pinpoint but there's no reason to eat anymore so instead I'll just sit here vaguely perturbed by some odd kind of food saudade. Well, that or indigestion.
Behold my Shitty Food Porn.
@goldenthorn The berries and yogurt look ok. the rest is a bit sketchy. I think your whole sad situation is all @jaremelz 's fault.
@ceagee I'd say something to deflect blame, but it's not polite to eat with my mouth full.

@jaremelz - Did you mean bleat with your mouth full? Haha I call goat's fault!
@goldenthorn - When I do get the urge to cook, I make a giant pot of yummy healthy soup. It is there when I get hungry, and eating better just makes me feel better.
I know, because I eat junk sometimes too.
I regret my choice to read this thread about your itchy junk
@Mehntok Highly recommend: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007VC9DKI/ref=s9_hps_bw_g121_i3
@cinoclav Thanks! I'll give it a try.... I've just resisted since it seems like an old man product.
@Mehntok Not at all. A lot of runners/athletes use similar products. I've used the comparable product from Body Glide but this is similar and cheaper.

I regret choosing this waiting room to stay at in the hospital. I am now stuck watching "I am too good looking to be that ugly child's father" on Maury.. I cannot believe they are calling these children ugly, they are precious!!
@mikibell Oh now they are watching "The Shining".. I am not sure if it is an improvement or not!
@mikibell what kind of hospital lets those things on wait room tv? that's ridiculous.
@Mehntok Veterans' Administration.. they are not the people controlling the remote though :) I really should just take a nap!!
@mikibell this won't make sense if you haven't seen frisky dingo, but the mention of naps made me think of this:

@mikibell sounds like a good episode though (paternity test ones always are)
@Foxborn sad thing was, the guy who called the baby ugly was NOT the father...errrr or should that baby be happy not to have such a shallow father?
@Mehntok is this safe to watch with children around? :)
@mikibell probably not. Would you show your kids southpark? it's not at all the same, but I'd say equally raunchy.
@Mehntok Oh, I don't think I should have complained about Maury.. today it is some sports show all about the Mets. Please just pull my fingernails out slowly instead of making me watch this drivel! Oh wait, they moved to Superbowl??
I already bitched about the consequences of my life choices today - on facebook. Isn't that where this shit goes? In the feeds of people we love, or went to junior high with?
@Thumperchick that's fine for complaining to people you know. but what about all the strangers out there that want to hear about your poor life choices?
@Thumperchick Besides, here you can blame the goat. Right @jaremelz ? I don't think she has been getting enough blame and so I am trying very hard to make it up to her. poor neglected goat.
@ceagee Your efforts have been noted and are greatly appreciated. Tip of the hat to you.
@ceagee

@Mehntok my choice to get pregnant means I spent my morning vomiting so hard I popped blood vessels... Again.
Fun, yes?
@Thumperchick that sucks...ginger ale or lemonade work well to help reduce nausea.. All in all, the end result is worth it all :)
@Thumperchick Crap, I always hate it when some women are unlucky enough get this stage of pregnancy. It's just horrible, I know. I'm sure you've been given tons of advice already, but for 'mild' pregnancy sickness, I was told to take a B6 and Unisom (obligatory "talk to your OB first"). Of course, it turned out that I didn't have the mild form and had to get a script for the heavy duty stuff. Anyway, I know pregnancy sickness is normal and all, but if it continues all day for more than a few days, or you find you can't keep much of anything down, make your doctor give you something to help. I hope this part passes quickly and the fun 2nd trimester comes soon!
Sorry @Thumperchick - Peppermint tea or ginger helps.
@PurplePawprints unisom and B6 made me puke harder. Peppermint does nothing. Giner, ginger ale, make me puke instantly. Preggie pops, peppermint, sea bands, etc. don't stop it.
I got some nice relief when I switched to a no-iron prenatal, but it's still there. I really only bitched today because I popped blood vessels in my face. It's not usually that bad.
It's not bad enough to dehydrate me. I'm coming up on the 3rd trimester. Some girls have all the luck!
@Thumperchick I am so damn sorry to hear that. Hopefully it gets better for you soon.
@jaremelz thanks. I'm fine. It's just annoying.
@Thumperchick Yikes, that sounds a lot like how I was with both of my pregnancies. If it doesn't get better, get your doctor to prescribe something. I had to try a couple different prescriptions and had to fight with my insurance company over quantities before I found something that worked, but it was worth it in the end. The last thing you want is to end up hospitalized for dehydration or getting a picc line.
Just read your edit and am adding my edit. Glad to hear that you're not in danger of dehydration and that you're close to your 3rd trimester. I hope it gets better soon!
@PurplePawprints it will... I'm thinking in about 3.5 months.
@Thumperchick Just remember it's @jaremelz fault !
Curse her out when you are barfing. Double curse her for any popped blood vessel. Although let's hope there are no more of those. But really curse away It will help. Not the vomiting, but in coping w/ the vomiting.
@ceagee What's that you say, curse me?
FUCK YEAH!

I'm fat and I need a different job, goddamnit. We should be in Colorado already.
And I should have saved something for my retirement. At this rate, I'm pretty sure I'll just die before I quit working.
Fuck it all.
How's that?
How quickly we forget.
@ceagee is right.
@jaremelz:

@joelmw

@joelmw damn she was ripped for that movie. She is actually from the eastern shore of MD where I live and has a twin sister (useless fact)

My Netflix queue bored the living fuck out of me and I retaliated by closing my membership there. That'll teach them. Assholes.
@editorkid I'm about to do the same. I have a movie here to watch and send back first. Actually there are some I want to see, just no time.
I've put on a little weight recently. I don't know why as I've not done anything differently. I guess I'm just at the age where I need to do more to maintain, not just lose. Anyway, I'm too lazy to do anything about it, so I'd rather just bitch about my weight gain instead. My old Woot shirts don't fit now, only my Meh shirts do. This upsets me greatly, but I still can't be bothered to get on my elliptical.
@PurplePawprints I hate that age.
@ceagee Me, too. I didn't think I'd hit that age until my forties. It caught me in my early thirties, though.
@PurplePawprints Everyday I think 'I'll get on the treadmill tomorrow'. I'm just buying larger woot shirts instead.
@PurplePawprints You could try doing what I'm doing- I've got a mini-stepper underneath my desk so I can do some exercise while I sit here.
@dashcloud That would be ideal if I ever sat at a desk. Most of the time I'm sitting up in bed watching shows on my laptop. I've gotten soooo lazy in my thirties. haha Anyway, I'm glad that you found a way to be active that works well for you! Eventually I'll hate myself enough that I'll do something about it, but for now, I'm just gonna complain.
@remo28 Yes, exactly! For me, I'll think about getting on the elliptical and then remember I just took a shower, or that I have to shower in a few minutes, or that I don't want to have to take a shower before I pick up the kids and exercising will mean that I have to.
I died yesterday (does that count). If you are seeing this, it is a prerecorded post. Time to go haunt @jaremelz for a long, long time.
p.s. the Ghost Busters can't help you. And don't say "I ain't 'fraid of no ghost"
@mfladd Why don't I believe you?

I gained 70 lbs in about 4 years... Did not even realize it was happening until it was too late. Now I am hefty but love delicious food and great beer. The first world struggle is real.
Also I am living beyond my means but have an unhealthy shopping habit. Ah, vices of the modern world.

Well, this thread is depressing.
@Nexar Nah. It's good to vent. Better to blame the goat @jaremelz . And it can make your problems seem not so bad. Puts things in perspective kind of thing.
@Nexar ... is this you?

I like to remember that...
What ever problem I face, it's usually of my own doing. Which means, that I can fix what ever is wrong.
@Kevin That my friend is a fools errand. It is the fallacy of control. There are many things that happen to many people -- good and bad. And to give them credit or to blame them for that is crap. Something to remember when you are having a hard time dealing w/ something that has befallen yourself or someone close to you and you are tempted to point fingers.
I chose to go to sleep at 6 pm, and now I'm awake and will probably be until maybe 2 am. I've done this before so I know how it ends: nap at 2 am, sleeping past my 5 am wakeup, showing up an hour and a half late to work, being tired tomorrow afternoon and sleeping early...
It's such a simple problem. I don't know how I get myself into this mess all the time. Oh, wait, no, I do; I have no self-control.
