I don't think people register it properly when I say I don't want children. I hear replies of "you'll change your mind" or "it's different when you have your own children" and so on.
So, what if I have one, and I don't like it? Is there a return policy? No? Ok then I won't have any. -_-' Sometimes I wish I had the guts to reply with this but I just keep silent.

Fortunately we were not subject to much of that when we were first married. I don't have to tell you that having people who think they know what I need or want more than I know is annoying

I can't stand people like that. They keep saying that crap as if reproduction is supposed to be at the top desires of everyone, and there is "just so clearly and obviously something wrong" with someone who doesn't want children, and "of course" it's only just "natural that eventually we'll change our minds." And I especially hate it when you're in a relationship that's been going on a for a few years and people start asking "so when are the kids coming?"
I've not had a break from the difficulties and woes of raising and help raising children in 21 years! I haven't been "kid free" for any appreciable time since I was eight. I think I deserve a break from them, and am very fully entitled to declare that I don't want them without having people question and challenge my position.

So... Mrs Wu gets an e-mail..... from someone she knows....but it does not make sense.... but it has a click here if you can't read this link in it....so...after the years of being told to not click anything you are not sure of (the trials and tribulation of one married to a Cybersecurity professional)...what does she do..... clicks the link..... which sets up and SSL connections to another server and immiedietly starts sending e-mails...from her...to others...to share in her pain..... yeah...it also wants to find credit card numbers and other personal information on the PC too....but did Mrs Wu tell me about this right away....well...no...she waited 4 FREAKIN' HOURS!!!!!!
There's no joy in the Wu household today.

I shall be checking the main PC this evening...woohoo..we're havin' some fun now
But, because of this I had to change her e-mail account settings and password..... I have not told her how to get back into her e-mail yet.... and I am not sure when I will....
But you will be patient, sympathetic, & helpful.I shall be checking the main PC this evening...woohoo..we're havin' some fun now

The one computer I've job I've seen that was open, I didn't get it.
But that's no surprise. I can confidently say I probably do factually know more about computers than whoever got the job, I've probably been working on them longer (not unless they hired someone older), I could probably make their systems run even better, I can even do some illegal stuff (not nearly like I could in high school, though) that can be twisted around to do some really awesome legal things, and, yes, I probably was the better candidate. Like that scribing job. I would have been awesome for that job. They would have had zero complaints, worries, issues, or concerns about me, and I even have a track record of improving IT procedures and doing better than any of my predecessors in one IT-related job, but I didn't get that one. Even installing satellites, would've put a strain on my knee, but my precision in measurements and being totally anal about being on time would have made me great for that job, but nope.
But Christ! I can't even get hired on at a gas station or delivering pizzas!
It just should not be this hard to find work.

Have any idea how difficult it is to get a doctor's appt when one of your main problems is that you can't speak? I left a message through the VA online system at 7 this morning and still haven't heard back now at 10:30 so I just tried to call. If it wasn't so pathetic it would be funny. Left a voice mail message, or at least tried to. I should say I garbled and squeaked a message. Seriously, I've never had such a sore throat. Swallowing my own spit is nearly impossible without pain that feels like someone is crushing my neck (which is swollen to boot). I've never had such a painful sore throat and that's including when I had mono and any bout of strep I've ever had. It came on quite suddenly too. Ran a bath last night before bed and as I got in I got the feeling I had a tiny bit of a sore throat developing, by the time I was done with my bath I was in quite a bit of pain, could barely swallow, and had lost my voice. What the hell hits that fast??

How does one acknowledge an unhappy birthday? My dad's dog died on his birthday over this last summer, and today, my mom's birthday, my brother has court.
And my dad's niece, about my age, has metastasized cancer. Sounds bad to say this, but I bet no one in that family quits smoking, driving heavily, abusing drugs, or starts eating better (of course they won't, because they haven't, even a lot of them have died from cancer even though they can go through a list of things that puts you at a higher risk and check off one thing after another).

I don't open crap if I can't tell exactly where it goes before clicking it. And I've seen enough of those spam messages to know better. You can easily enough tell if a friend's email or FB has been hacked if you pay attention. And...if they are really a friend.

I just decided I'm going to put my car and land up to get a secure loan so I can get out of here.
Put out a ton of aps while my car is being fixed (or maybe just a few - it's possible that it's actually a quick and easy fix like the last time I had my car in a shop just because the age of my car had a simple problem that gave out major symptoms). Get an apartment, and move. In the worst case scenario, I can go to the inventory company I worked for that has a branch in Seattle, and as high up in the company as I got here and as good at it as I was I should be able to work my way back up pretty quickly (I was actually on one the top performing teams in the nation, and assistant to that team's team leader, and I significantly cut down the post-inventory time with all the computer stuff down from a couple of hours to just about a half hour) - and, unlike here, it wouldn't be a total torture-fest for me transitioning on the job there (last I was there, they still were brutally mean about the things they said about a trans-woman who worked there years before I did). My knee will hate me for me, but hopefully it will only be very temporarily because I have plenty of marketable skills (such as being able to do anything routine on computers and a ton of stuff that isn't; working on cars; social work; writing and editing; and other stuff), but there are just a horrible lack of opportunities to use them here.
