Sick family member with community fundraising. They've decided to fly home between chemo. Discussions about it being a waste of money. And it's not one of those self righteous 'I've donated so I can have an opinion' , cos they haven't donated.

But what annoys me is I've been invited to the Mardi gras with my friend and I said no because I don't want to become gossip fodder for these people.

They need to familiarise themselves with the concept of donating money and then maybe have a nice unhealthy dose of chemo, so they can understand the difference between fighting the illness in paid or unfamiliar accommodation verse being able to recover in your own home. Side note: just because you donate, doesn't necessarily give you the right to an opinion as to how your donated money is spent.

What on earth does you going to Mardi gras have to do with anything?

You need to simplify your life. I have a golden rule, if I don't care about you, I don't give a fuck what you think about anything.

I think I need to commit to a diary of some sorts too. I use the heck out of my phone with appointments, assignment due dates, bills etc. but I find I still need to create a chart and write these things down so they are in my face day to day. I cross each thing off each time too because for some reason it further motivates me because it makes me feel like I've accomplished these small things.

It seems silly and a waste when I have the phone but it works for me.

A diary sounds like a great idea! You might even get your diary published like that Adrian Mole person. That would be exciting!

I've recently discovered how good to-do lists are. I know they are not exactly a new concept, but writing down what I need to do each day and then ordering it from most to least important has really improved my productivity. It's so damn simple, why didn't i start doing this years ago? I now almost feel like I might be able to get my shit together someday.

You seriously crack me up. You might even be my second favourite BBB member if we're basing it on entertainment value.

You're right, they are both consistently very entertaining and solid contributors, let's put them in the top 5. My number 1 no longer visits here anyway :(

Why don't they visit here anymore? Oh wait, are you talking about @Miiiiike? Well if you are I hope he comes back soon. It sucks when people leave from forums. I hate that feeling too when you find an entertaining poster and then they leave.
 
Hey a quick funny.

I was talking on the phone with Mutt this arvo

Me: Oh my God, you know that picture where Jesus appears in the burned toast?
Mutt: Yeah
Me: I can seriously see Jesus in my dogs arsehole, I mean seriously. It's fucking JESUS!!!

Thankfully he provided photographic evidence that this is in fact normal and not a phenomenon and Jesus is not trying to contact me via my dogs arse.

How are you finding your editing classes? Do you think they go on for too long?
Click to expand...

I feel like most of my classes go on too long! :tongue:

The editing class though is a bit frustrating, if only because I feel a little stupid. We keep learning (or, relearning, rather) stuff like, "What's a verb?" and all that seemingly basic stuff that I and the rest of the class have conveniently forgotten over the years. But it's fine, I'm making it fun for myself and everyone, naturally.

You will be more than fine! You're gonna be famous!!!!

Any hotties in your class?

Well hopefully!

Um, can I count myself as a hottie? :hilarious:

No, I know what you mean though. When I was at uni a few years ago I used my phone/iPad/laptop as a planner type thing and it just didn't seem to work. I suppose that's because I spend a lot of time on said devices so it's hard to distinguish them as being something used for I guess "serious stuff."

It may seem silly but if it works, it works!

I had to really look closely, but yes I see it... Haha
 
I find both @reepbot and @MADONNA to be highly entertaining posters, but in completely different ways. But nope Vadge wasn't the member I was referring to. I think maybe @JordanS misses Madonna ;)

Haha too funny. I always think this with my friends pug and no one else sees it so I was starting to think maybe Jesus really was choosing to communicate just with me, via a dogs butt.[DOUBLEPOST=1425376443][/DOUBLEPOST]

I did the rorsarch test at my psychologist appointment today.

How did you find? That's probably my fave psych test, even if it's sooo old school.

Well I kept seeing dead animals, alive animals, and human body parts in the test. But the good news is that I'm sane, perfectly sane. My favourite psych test is the myers briggs test. I get INFP for that one.
 
How did the Voigt Kampff test go?

You find a $10 note on the street. In celebration you buy a $2 drink that you ordinarily wouldn't, as you are not thirsty. While drinking it, you lose the found $10. Express your emotional mood as a dollar value.
