My computer keeps shutting off randomly.  I think I need a new power supply, and a powerful one at that.  I guess I really should have gotten one when I got the new graphics card and motherboard a few months ago...  Strange thing is, it was working fine until recently.

Well, I guess that's another hundred bucks or so down the drain.  Great, less money that I already don't have.  I have more anti-money.

The family dog is most likely going to be dead by Monday. Old age & cancer. She knows it, my dad knows it, and my mother is in denial or just doesn't see it.

She just kind of stared at me when I called for her to come inside, and my dad said she just...stared at him and mom in the bedroom that she's been in for years.

She's being taken in in the morning. God Dammit.

Yeah, the old basset hound we lost over the summer was acting much in the same way.  She stopped eating and wanted to stay out in the backyard.  It's one of those things where dogs seem to want to pass away in a place that is unobtrusive. :(

It's the pack mentality.  They don't want to expire in a place where their family will have to drag them off somewhere to keep from getting sick.

Dogs are good friends to the last.  Be thankful you were given the chance to say goodbye to yours.

they are probably also smart enough to know that you'll feel bad about their death, and want to scurry away to avoid hurting you.

Not sure if cats have the smarts to feel empathy, but probably not quite.

I'm no animal psychologist but holy shit no.

Unless you're just saying that to make lyrai feel better.  Then proceed.

While cleaning out the house today, I found a notebook with a list of goals my now-ex wanted to achieve. It was dated late August.

Among the myriad items that never happened -- get her GED, start working out, get a better job -- was "Get an STD test".

I really shouldn't.

What Thad said. There's usually plenty of folks offering the service for free.

The stress of the holidays are like rusty nails in my brain. I've got a jillion things to do and no time to actually do them because I have to work. I'm sure anyone who has ever worked retail anything will tell you just how sick of people it can make you. I haven't had a decent meal in three days because I don't have any time to shop for food. And tomorrow, I have to go from work directly to a family gathering where I'll get asked the same six questions I get asked every year. And then again the next day.

Hey Mongrel, can I come spend Christmas with you and Starr next year?

when I was little people would ask me if I wanted kids and I'd say no and they'd say "you will change your mind" and give that little condescending laugh older relatives give

Is it bad that I sort of have the urge to run up to them and say I NEVER CHANGED MY MIND YOU WERE FUCKING WRONG IN YOUR FACE MOTHERFUCKER and then surf away on a jetboard

Ya shoor you betcha.

...

Wanna skip work/gathering and come up tomorrow? ^____^

I have the opposite problem. My family never harasses me about children and could probably accept my never having any. Only I did want kids, worse than anything else at one point - only it's all but certain I never will*.

*A combination of quite a few different things I won't go into right now. I've come to accept it for a while now.

I always get them asking my brother all the questions, them being interested and proud of the answer, sighing, then asking me the same questions. I answer and they just nod quietly.
