He is abusing my mother-in-law on Facebook, while still owing her a substantial amount of money. I don't want him dead, just yet.

First I want the money back.

It's important to have logical priorities.

With all this negativity, let me annoy all of you properly

the only possible response to that is......

Write down the thing that is making you angry on a piece of paper.... then crumble it up and throw it away...and if that is not enough....crumble it up and burn it.

See if that helps

Symbolic gestures really do nothing for me, as they are nothing more than that, a gesture that is ritualized into a symbol. Symbols only have power if we give them power, and unless a symbol has real, practical meaning like a stop sign, channeling emotions into something isn't something I'm very good at.
That, and I would need a really long piece of paper. And it also is going against the feeling of finally I am letting things out, let my thoughts and feelings be known, standing up for myself, and letting it be known when something pisses me off (funny what happens when you start to care about yourself and let your wants and needs be a priority, and all the things you begin to learn about yourself).
And I'm also glad I didn't those jobs working with kids. I didn't even consider trying to make it look I had any indications I would be good at working with them at my interviews. And times I can have a hard enough time explaining things (especially "dumbing things down") for adults who need me to explain or define. Doing that for kids, I've never been good at it. I'm patient with kids, and calm with them, but sometimes I really just cannot figure out how to put things at their level. And I'm still enjoying that for once I'm getting away from all the children's books and cartoons, and not knowing really what a Minion is (or Cars, or whatever that superhero family was called, or some others), and finally being able to shelve them in the realms of my ignorance of pop culture and leaving them where I care not to even learn. It would have been nice money, but how am I supposed to help a family with young child in meeting goals if I can't even explain those goals to the child?

Forgiving people in the name of Jesus works for me. The anger eventually subsides and I realize they're just sinful humans, just like everybody else.

You should watch Happy Tree Friends.

You should watch Happy Tree Friends.

(you'll see the innards of all those on that picture many times, as well as hacked up, ground up, ripped up, burnt, mutilated, tortured, crushed, lasered, and many other gruesome deaths)

And of course, there's always....

 

[Shadow Wolf]

And of course, there's always....

Happy Tree Friends to Itchy & Scratchy is a far greater leap than what Itchy & Scratchy is to Tom & Jerry.

I want to play Cards Against Humanity with a group that A) will actually admit they don't know what a word is and look it up instead of playing it hoping it works, and (and important one here) B) will not get offended over things played. It's annoying to play with people stumbling around with words and trying to so obviously feign their way through, but nothing kills the game faster than someone getting pissed off over a card you played (it also lets you know real quick who's a jerk who's just fine making fun of everything except their own views which are strictly off limits to the world. Or so they think).

I'm starting to feel daunted by not just the idea of finally leaving Indiana, but from seeing finally possibly within my grasp. I won't let it hold me back, but yet at the same time at the same time leaving Amish Paradise for the big-big city is a huge step. But it'll be for the better. It's going to suck leaving everyone behind, but I have my own life to live. And when the time comes, instead of moving back to Indiana like my mom did when her grandparents and father's health began failing, I'll move them out to me. I don't plan on ever coming back.

Hey, @Shadow Wolf .....
I decided to splurge, & get a high quality machete for light brush.
The commonly available ones all have crappy handles, & often don't take an edge well.
I knew what I wanted in a handle, length, weight & alloy, so I went with a 17" Condor Parang.
(1075 steel....dang, that's high carbon! 0.75%)
Got a good dealk on ebay.
Only about $51 including shipping.

Unlike other brands, these arrive already sharp.
(I won't have to spend time to profile & sharpen it.)

had a physical last week.... according to the MD I am fine
Today I had to pull over on the way to work because I was going to fall asleep behind the wheel
I have no energy and a whole lot of pressure in my sinuses

Today is a day leaving me to wish doctors knew more about IBS other than "something is clearly wrong with you, we just don't know what other than the symptoms you have."

 

[Wu Wei]

I don't wanna...but I hafta for a few more minutes..... or in the words of my kids Chinese ancestors....Wǒ xiǎng huí jiā (我想回家)

I wish there was a kill all bedbugs spell to use (I'm sure everyone who's had them does).
