I'm sure learning some interesting things about withdrawal.
What made me unhappy today ?
- Thread starter big soft moose
- Start date
Negative 9 here with a foot of snow tomorrow.
Weird weather is God's way of making you take the day off and reflect on things like long underwear and penguins.
I wouldn't presume that putting one in your mouth and lighting it would be a cure -- my experience years ago was that the idea seemed repulsive and so was the first puff, but by the third puff I was smoking again and liking it.
The urge does lessen as time goes by, and for me it is essentially gone. But sneaky gone. Like if I'm not careful it sounds like a good idea to have an occasional smoke. It's a dumb idea.
I th0ught I was posting prayer and fellowship hands, not the gracias emoticon. But thanks, too, for sharing this.
Somewhere I read that between 850,000 and 900,000 people in Minnesota have Norwegian ancestory. Next door in North Dakota, every third person has Norwegian ancestory (including my husband). That's a lot of Viking blood.
I am unhappy with myself. A new acquaintance went straight to the top of my list of Most Boring People I've Ever Met. I requested patience and an attitude adjustment from the universe, and hope no one at the meeting had a glimmer of how I felt. She can't help being what she is and doesn't deserve any negativity from me. Sigh. Just when I think I've achieved some level of genuine compassion and tolerance, I discover I ain't even close.

Our forecast out of this massive storm called for an awful lot of snow (10-14”), but sleet unexpectedly cut into those totals, so we ended up getting the worst of both worlds: considerable snow (7-9”) with a fair amount of sleet mixed in. Not gonna be fun to shovel!
And it really needs to be shoveled, because what little melts this week is just going to refreeze and make things worse.

On the other extreme, it's very hot here (and tomorrow forecast to be hotter - 43 C, or about 110 F). *melts*
So what made me unhappy today? I driving to the pharmacy and stopped at a red light. A man was standing at the crossing light, listening to his music and not going anywhere, even though he had a green. Fine, whatever.
Then the lights changed -- he had a red and I had the green -- so I moved my foot to the gas pedal, and was about to step on it, when this guy started crossing the road, right in front of my car.
Of course, I immediately hit the brakes and gave him a polite "beep-beep!" as if to say, "Hey, mate, be careful!"
He turned to me, shrugged, gave me the bird, and kept on going.
Now I've seen a lot of super-entitled egoistic shit in my life, but, uh ... did he want to get run over???
