I really hope he wasn't serious about it, No Maam. That must be frightening. Take care of yourself!
Post how your day was…

@metteminne:
Finally got a gf , still giggling like a little girl ~
You go, man. :D
@No:
So today we went to visit my grandmother at the clinic. It was a fairly long drive but on the way there nothing much happened.
But on the way home my dad (who spent every day of the previous week getting drunk multiple times a day, as many as 4 times, and who came home one day after he shat himself where I had to wash his jeans in the washstand) started yelling at me for snapping at him because I didn't want to let him go to buy cigarettes on his own. His response, amongst calling me names and threatening me, was that
- **Every time I "don't act like all other people in the world" that will constitute 1 "point", and for 5 "points" he'll hit me multiple times
- For each larger case of "misconduct" he would hit me 3 times.**
So that sorta shook me up a bit. I take it he was just in withdrawal, I hope.
sigh Another grim story about your dad…..this just seems too cruel, even for him. You'll probably get a point just for tying your laces wrong, or something. I would say it's the withdrawal (since my mom is very nasty without a pack), but......well, I can't say I know too much.
Just hang in there, man. It's a task and a half just putting up with this crap everyday. And I seriously hope that one day, one day, he'll stop being such a…...dick to you. You don't deserve it, you're a nice guy! :(
Anyway, my day yesterday-
[hide]I visited my grandmother, who I haven't seen in months. Now keep in mind, she'll be 90 next year…..but she has dementia and cannot walk on her own. I mean my uncle has help get to the bathroom all the time. And part of me was fearing she would have to go and.....what the hell would I do. I'm not THAT strong, and what if I drop her, or something?
I get there, only to find out that....it's just me and her. My uncle was out. Sadly he tends to go out often and leave her alone, but....I'll get to that.
She's all surprised and whatnot to see me, I say it's been a while....lament I should see her more often and.....well, she kinda cried and says no one visits her anymore. And that broke my damn heart. Because while her health has been in the down slope this past....five years or so....we used to go to her house every Sunday. Even when my grandpa died back in '05. But as all of us got jobs and have more things to do.....
...anyway, I comfort her, and to try to break the dead silence, I unmute the TV and start telling her some stories. How I gave blood, me losing my tip, just random stuff. How much actually registers with her is up in the air, but I didn't care. We watch the western on tv, talking about it....I offer to get her water, anything she needs. She's fine. For now.
As we sit through two more westerns, something starts to happen. She tells me to get ready, so she can go home.....I approach this playfully at first, saying "we are home." "no this isn't it" "uh where do you live again, grandma" She gives the correct address, and I ask her...."well....where are we now". She complains that I'm confusing her. I drop the subject, but she starts to fold up the sheet she's under, saying she wants a bag to take this (and her cat) and just leave.
I am starting to panic, because not only is this......disconnected from reality, it's been over 3 hours and my uncle isn't back yet.
This situation kinda continues (she even tells me to get stuff to leave), until I call my mom. She offers to get me, I can't get in touch with my uncle….eventually, she comes and I say my goodbyes. I was there for nearly 5 hours, not one word from my uncle.
Thankfully he comes home after that, but......I was just so shaken. How much of her memory is going to stay intact? How....how long can this last? Will we ever get to the point where she doesn't remember any of us?
She is my last grandparent remaining. One died in '05, another in '06......my other grandfather was over 90 years old and he just died a couple of months ago! But....sad to say......the grim reaper will come. And as bittersweet as it, I think it's become an inevitability we all have come to accept. That will soften the blow, but......:(
[/hide]
Good news, though. Seems some state-funded financial aid is pending. If it comes…..the loan will take care of the rest.

Please stay safe and don't accept any abuse. Get police involved if you are threatened. I sincerely hope things get better on your end :(

He seems pretty self-destructive and you can't be around to help him forever; you have a life to live. I'm assuming that is the reason you stay in his company (I'm not talking about living situations, I'm saying I personally would avoid a person like that even if I lived with them). Personally, if I was in a situation like that, I would say something to the effect of, "I've helped you all I can, now you've got to help yourself and those around you by putting down that bottle." And then I would step out of the house for a few hours.
I'd make a habit of getting the fuck away from him (bring an iPod or a book and go to some public place to kill time, or a friend's house) when he gets like that and tell him to think about what he's saying. My dad can get heated (not abusive though) and when I give him time to think about what he's saying, the life-altering things he's imposing on us, as long as I've remained fairly neutral throughout the conversation he'll often calm down and take those spur-of-the-moment things back.
This is all assuming he's not trying to drive drunk somewhere like in your situation. Damn dude, you've really got a lot to deal with. Sorry.

This post touches on the topic of religion. I know that this isn't for everyone, so if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it.
It's an enlightening moment I just had, and decided to share for those who are interested.! I've been awake since 3am [its now 10am] and couldn't sleep, basically had an anxiety attack from worrying about several things, particularly about my husband (who is a different race than me) and my job.
! After unsuccessfully attempting to calm myself down by writing a mini-diary entry, I decided to open up the Quran at a random chapter, as its words are often consoling to the heart.
! Here's what the chapter contained:
! These 3 verses come one after the next.
The flames were instantly extinguished.So what if I said religion is and was merely an older solution to phenomena and man's fear of the unknown, before modern science?

I'd do that except I have no friends (or iPod).
Plus the main reason I stay is oney, or rather lack thereof.
Thanks for the heads up though :D

I would make sure you get banned.
It doesn't matter what your stance on this particular subject is, if you start throwing around disrespectful comments about someone else's beliefs when they make a post about having found a peace of mind after a moment of fear and panic you deserve a little rattling. What Femme posted there was genuine gratefulness, and you are directly dissing both her religion and her feeling by implying that the reason she is feeling that is wrong. That's such a dickish thing to do.
You're starting to lose what little support and understanding you have here Davy. Please start thinking about others before you post. This is getting unbearable for us to watch.
-
Wasn't Davy Jones banned like years ago?..

Jesus, No Maam, isn
t there any way out ot that situation? I can
t imagine how hard it must be to live with such abusive parents. You must be quite strong-minded to endure that.So what if I said religion is and was merely an older solution to phenomena and man's fear of the unknown, before modern science?
You know, people who try to force their religious beliefs on other people are annoying, but people who try to force their stupid atheistic worldview on other people are even worse -.-
-
So what if I said religion is and was merely an older solution to phenomena and man's fear of the unknown, before modern science?
part of the reason i started digging into astronomy and physics was to kind of figure out where they disprove religion, and i cant say i've really been convinced otherwise.
there is no proof for or against religion. Even the big bang theory isn't as stable as people like to think it is.
-
I lived with an abusive father the majority of my life, alcoholic who let his frustration out on his family. My mother never had teh courage to get out of that marriage and maybe even call the police but one day, when he came back at night completely drunk, he woke us up again, punching us left and right while daring us to call the police until my sister just did it. He has been out of the house since then.
-
I feel like Agnosticism is the most logical course if you're trying to remain objective. I suppose it can get pretty philosophical too depending on how you define "God". If you define it as merely someone that created all that you know and is a greater being than we can ever hope to reach then I can think of several reasons (using scientific theory) why God might then exist. But if the idea of a "great scientist" isn't your idea of God then our discrepancy in logic would merely be determined by philosophical interpretation.
Personally, I'm a loose Christian myself. But I've found that exploring theoretical physics has opened my mind to the possibilities that might be. If you're trying to remain wholly objective though, religions might be too specific and atheism thinks on too small a scale. There is much, much more to the universe (and existence in general) than what you can see outside your window.

I'm sorry for what you've had to go through. =(
I grew up under a similar house. I saw my mom and stepfather rolling around on the ground one day, my mom with a knife in her hand trying to kill him. I went to sleep every night to the sounds of screaming and things breaking. And I jumped out the shower one time and got in-between them fighting while I was naked, my mom was holding my infant sister in her arms at that time…
It can be a cruel world. The only positive thing I've taken from it is a firm example of what I'll never be as a parent whenever it's my turn.
-
I don´t know how it exactly effected me but i have definitely become more tolerant and accepting of people in general while completely abandoning the thought of good and evil. I don´t know if that sounds logical to some but seeing my father have almost a dual personality (nice+sober and asshole+drunk) and learning about his circumstances (his own parents pretty much screwed him over, belittling him, leaving him in debt and so forth) made me realize that everyone has his or her own circumstances and as a result, i pretty much never judge people prematurely. Those experiences also helped me with my ability to empathize with people much more easily. Of course it´s kind of weird to find so many positive things in experiences that were like hell when they happened but looking back at it after a while, i think it made me a better person.

I'm on your friends list but I will call something out when I see it. Just observe the context in situations. If you had said your statement as a stand-alone, everything would be peachy though you would get some responses no matter where you were disagreeing, because hey, religion is and will be highly debated for who knows how long. But to say it in response to someone finding happiness through religion?
Really the cardinal rule of conversation is to not step on other people's beliefs. It's the only thing that's ever caused me to punch someone. (besides someone trying to grope my nipples after consistent badgering but I hate using that example, and I'm not even exaggerating about it, because it ruins the flow of what I'm saying)
Relax, take a break for a bit, and maybe apologize and say that you were just expressing your beliefs and looking perhaps for a little debate from Femme (because weren't you?) -

Politics and religion ? Really ?
OT: Today was father´s day in my country, so we went to see Billy Elliot, the musical..and boy..how can a little british fag can make you cry ?
EDIT: Tons of bloody hells to everyone !!
:wub: -
Had an awesome weekend at a big con in London that both covered everything (there were entire separate overlapping programmes of events for Doctor Who, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Friendship is Magic, vampire fiction, video games, board games, cosplay, science fiction literature, feminism, LGBT, and then other standalone events like a talk on the mathematics in The Simpsons and Futurama). I'm on a post-con high, which is a bit sad really given I now need to get some work done tonight before work in the morning.
But I can see that that's a rather shallow thing to babble about given some of the days people here have had, so…
Femme, I'm glad you were able to find solace from those words. I actually miss when I felt able to be religious as I vaguely remember that kind of peace and sense of security. I hope that your situation gets a little easier too :)
No Maam - I echo what others have said. That sounds a really scary situation, and I'm kind of worried.
Also, Miyamoto and Kenny, I'm sorry you had those experiences. I guess I'm glad you've taken good things away from them, but honestly, it would be better if no-one had to go through such things :(MetaMario - that does sound upsetting. Slowly losing someone you care about so deeply, or at least the fear of that happening. My Opa (grandfather) is 90 and while he's still sprightly and always busy, I always worry each time I'm back in that part of the UK that when I say goodbye, it will be the last time. I know it'll happen, and I know I'll be a wreck when it does, but there's nothing I can really do about that but make the most of the time that we do get. I only really learnt that lesson from having lost grandparents suddenly though.
OT: Today was father´s day in my country, so we went to see Billy Elliot, the musical..and boy..how can a little british fag can make you cry ?
Musicals are good at making me cry. They basically run off emotions.
Also, not sure if you're aware, but 'fag' is a somewhat homophobic term to use, and is quite offensive (unless you're gay yourself and reclaiming the term, I guess). Better to just say 'gay man/boy/guy/etc' :)
-
So what if I said religion is and was merely an older solution to phenomena and man's fear of the unknown, before modern science?
OH WOW, how did I miss this absolutely revolting post. In what position or enlightenment to you exhibit to make such a bold statement that religious is an antiquated notion that is fixed on old ideals that isn't whatsoever relevant to the world and that SCIENCE is the know it all answer to all questions within the universe? You sir are a complete and utter fool. If you can't back up such an idiot post, then don't bother posting bullshit again.

How has all that got anything to do with someone finding solace in a religious text? No, explain to me, how has all that got anything to do with religion at all?
Femme is not sticking her religious beliefs down your throat. She might as well be quoting from The Lord of The Rings. -
Davy Jones is threadbanned at the moment, so there's no need to try to debate him as he cannot respond any further.

Life IS a giant movie with no screenplay. And the songs ? THEY can't hear it, but WE can, inside our heart.

The "fag" comment reminded me of a make-up commercial that claims it is "effective for all ethnicities." Which is probably the worst thing I've heard ever and is completely wrong and I hate political correctness.

Clarification question: Are you referring to Captain Ugly's comment or Print Error's response?

Doesn't really matter. Well I missed Ugly's comment, so I guess PE's response.

So, let´s talk about politically wrong commercials ?
OT: Well, this sunday will happen a mass in the local church in honour of those who finished the college that I graduated from.
I was invited, but I don´t know how to behave in a church, I really want to go, but I´m afraid of doing something wrong.
I know..stupid.

As long as you don't do the following:
1.Get drunk
2.Strip naked
3.Bring a bunch of virgins and fornicate them on the pulpit
4.Summon Beelzebub
5.Punch the priest in the gnadsI'm SURE you're okay.
Besides, I doubt they're going to stone you for not showing up in your finest religious vestments. It's not like you are going up and making a speech either (at least that's what I assume).
-
Just be polite. Or act like the person that's talking to you.

Oh dang o.o someone got all riled up about a spoilered post of mine that specifically gave a disclaimer against that exact thing happening?
Anyhow, thanks everyone for your responses. I would normally not post such things at AP but I wished to share my source of inspiration and help to diversify anyone's mind view about those of us who choose to practice a religion, especially if anyone has the narrow "all Muslims are _______s!" mindset . Not all of us are crazy fanatics, you'll actually find 99% of us to be regular ol' people, which I'm happy to say that most of you already know.
Since the topic of science vs. religion continued after Davy Jones was threadbanned (even though that wasn't the point of my post at all >_>), I'll offer a look at a different side of the cube that hasn't been mentioned, in case people get the wrong opinion of me:
! From my previous post: "For a people who give thought", "For those of knowledge", "For a people who listen".
! Simply put, in those verses I am encouraged to think and use reason when viewing the intricacies of the world, down to the variation of our skin tones, and the need for our bodies to sleep. The universe is actually incredible, and the more we discover with technology and science is the more I feel aware of the existence of a Higher Power.
! So to sum it up for those curious about Islam I'll give you a TL;DR, "asking the reader to reflect and discover the science of the world" is actually a theme that is oft-repeated in the Quran. The only difference is that it says God is the originator of science (which, if you think about it, does not disprove the Big Bang theory), and not that the laws of the universe created themselves.
! There you go, a new thought for you to munch on. BTW I am ABSOLUTELY NOT intending to start a debate about this, I'm just adding a different point of view to this topic, hence this being in spoiler tags. -
Somehow I got stuck training new coworkers. Which always makes me fell uneasy when they've been doing this kind of work for far longer then I have.

As of yesterday, I have survived nearly a week of family and peaches. Both are things I like quite a bit, but am I ever glad that I'm done with both for the time being.

Went to see Gunther von Hagens' Body Worlds yesterday. It wasn't a particularly big exhibition, but I found it to be extremely fascinating all the same. Fooling around in the various science-related simulators, games and gadgets afterwards was also lots of fun.~
In other, more depressing news, the pest problem has yet to resolve. Those fuckers are still in our kitchen and I've seen dead ones right outside my door. I'm moving to a bigger room as my roommates change, but I'm still worried that they might spread. This situation is starting to stress me out and as a person who normally never experiences stress, it gets kind of overwhelming sometimes. Sigh… And now that a new girl has already moved in, she has lots of questions and wants to talk about various things, whereas I don't really have the energy for it. I don't want to appear rude though, so I continue to have conversations with her.

Either of you can spend two full days in the kitchen, washing, blanching, peeling, and cutting peaches, then boiling them to make jar after jar after jar after jar of peach jam – which, mind you, all ends up not working the first day, so you're left with one giant batch of some sort of peach syrup, and basically an entire day's work wasted -- and then you can get back to me on how tired or not you are of them.

I enjoy cooking as much as anyone else, although I admittedly am not by profession. That's not the point. The point is the repetition. There is nothing – and I mean absolutely nothing -- that I can think of that I wouldn't get absolutely bored of, to the point of disgust, if I had to do it over and over again to that extent.
I'm aware that there are people that can deal with rote, not that I can fathom how.
I can't possibly imagine that there's people that think rote is something desirable, or that would express surprise at someone that becomes tired of it.

Ha ha ha. xD
You should loosen up a little bit, Panda. I'm fairly certain that wolfwood (woof?) is just messing with you. And if not then I'm just messing with you, at least. Although, two days straight of making peach jam… Eh, I could do that pretty easily without getting bored. But then again, I cook for a living.
And to me, the process and however boring it is is supplemented by how satisfying a feeling there is when people eat your food and enjoy it. It's the same kind of idea with writing, of course the process is boring and repetitive. But it brings joy to people and they get to enjoy something you created. And you can take pride in that when it's all said and done.
So yeah, I personally don't mind. But to each his own.~
-
I find prep work pretty relaxing.
I mean once you get sufficiently good enough your hands pretty much move on their own
So i mean when i've choppped my 500th onion i wouldn't say i was bored because i really wasn't thinking about it all that much
-
Yeah, honestly.
If you've ever seen one of those old cartoons of like a kid on an army boat peeling potatoes, that's me. I've peeled so many fucking potatoes now that it doesn't even register anymore. I can easily peel 30 potatoes without thinking twice about it.
-
Aww. So mean to Panda-chan. (Just wait till he reveals his killer panda smash)
Peach jam sounds great. So does peach syrup. I would probably take it all. The prep work does sound frustrating and exhausting, though.
Now I really really want jam…

Oh, don't worry, I know. I'm plenty loose, really.* People always seem to take me far more seriously than I take myself, which I always find at least a little odd, considering my user name and avatar, but the world is full of surprises, I suppose.

Peach jam sounds great. So does peach syrup. I would probably take it all. The prep work does sound frustrating and exhausting, though.
Now I really really want jam…
Oh, it is. We still have several jars of the peach jam from past years' peach season; the stuff is absolutely amazing, we just make so much that it takes forever to actually get through. I'm sure the 'peach syrup', for lack of a better term, would have been delicious as well, really the issue with that is that it wasn't what we were trying to make, and so there was that sense of frustration at the failure. Although on the plus side, we did mix one jar of it in with some onions and ham juice to make an absolutely delicious gravy for dinner one night, so it certainly had its silver lining.
There were also two peach cobblers made, one also including blueberries that I am informed had been freshly picked. Someone also evidently made 'peach compote'. I don't actually have any idea what that is, beyond the fact that it tasted amazing, which is all that really matters to me, in the end.

At least in your case, it honest to God seems like you're always being serious.
Unless you're making a joke.
