Not yet, we're waiting to hear what's happening when. We're leaving for TX on Tuesday for the rest of the week, so we'll probably come home from that, do a bunch of laundry and leave right after we get back.Quote:

It always seems to silly to be so hurt when a pet dies, but it is essentially losing a member of your family. I am also very sorry to hear about Viv's grandmother. My thoughts are with you two and your families.Quote:

I'm not sure if this is the greatest thing I've ever seen or the worst.

Any of you guys use Strava? (did I already ask this?)
Uruguay legalized marijuana, who'll be next?
We had to put one of our cats to sleep on Friday. It's been a shitty week.
Sorry to hear that. Was she/he ill?
Again, I'm waiting for the summer.
yeah we found out he had cancer 2 months ago and it progressed really quickly.Quote:

Sounds like it may be time to move on unfortunately.Quote:

man, that sucks, dude. but dusty's right, just move on and you'll find another girl eventually
I lost my watch and it really sucks. It's the only "jewelry" I wear.
The one jewelry that's also really useful. Was it pricey?
yeah....Quote:

It's always hard when you are used to something being there and it goes away. You'll get used to it and feel better with time.Quote:

Still, time is moving and you can't do anything about it (not anymore, tried everything..). The sickness, sadness and anger just makes it so hard sometimes, when I think about the memories and that's she's with someone else now.Quote:

Maybe that's the problem, you're expecting for someone to come, change your of life and stay forever. What if we've been all living a lie regarding romance and there is no such thing as "THE right one"? What if instead there are "The right ONES"? What I mean is that I like to think that there is always a right person for the right time and when that time is done, we should just let it go and move on without expecting anything to happen. Just live your life, be happy and don't let your happiness depend on anyone else but yourself. A significant other is not supposed to make you happier, but to complement your own happiness. Nothing in life lasts forever whether we like it or not. It's just like having this really great meal that you never want it to end, so you keep saving something for later so it lasts forever instead of just enjoying it while you have it. Then it rottens with time but you don't want to throw it away because you keep remembering how good it was and want to keep eating it and you keep seasoning it trying to make it taste like before. LET IT GO!!! Be happy that you had the pleasure of tasting it, now it's rotten, throw it away and go on with your life, keeping eating it is just gonna make you feel worse with every bite. The best things in life come when you're not expecting them. THERE ARE PLENTY OF FISH IN THE SEA, you'll meet another great one, and when that one is done, you'll find another. Don't be sad because it ended, be happy because you made it work for the time it lasted regardless if it was just a few days, a few weeks or 20 years. In fact, there's people I can't even stand being with for just a couple of hours, so congratulations!! You made it over two years!! Way to go!! Now... MOVE ON!!Quote:

A good read, thanks Anonymous Ghost.
I met my nieces for the first time this month. They're 2. They're pretty awesome. My sister and I haven't been on the best terms since before they were even conceived. Her husband it turns out is a heroin addict so we've been trying to do what we can to help out. It's amazing what heroin can do to a family. Dude has stolen from his business. his wife, my parents and his kids savings. he's invented and then killed friends to explain benders. It's been some good times. At least the kids are fun.
I guess he's still around? Can't imagine living with a person addicted to heroin/drugs. How does your sister deal with him?
He's been kicked out but still around because she legally can't prevent him since he hasn't been arrested for anything yet. She's hoping to start the divorce stuff this week if she can.Quote:

Heh, it's not been freezing here for almost a year! We're maybe hitting 10°C next week, crazy. I sometimes wonder if winter will even start this year.
The complete opposite of here. It's been way colder, way longer than normal.Quote:
