on a good note, my daughters will be here in a few hours... rarely do I mind having them a night early, hells, I enjoy the extra time with my lovely spawnlings! :)
this week it was assumed that I'm prescription and/or not-so-legal drugs, due to both my constant pain and - so it seems - how I naturally am *sighs*
this isn't the first time I've had people think I'm on illegal drugs ( actually used this to my advantage when I lived in F/M, helping out the local PD there whenever someone "hit me up," which for awhile was all-too-often! )
my POV relating to drugs has come-and-go over the years, but I have never used illegal drugs and at this point in my life I find it unlikely that I will in the future
and I definitely don't allow it in my home... hells, I'm the least likely person to even take OTC meds unless I'm in such pain that I can't function, which is rare
I was also highly disappointed when I went to look for some new clothes to replace some more that I had to retire :(
it seems Target, the closest place that had always-affordable clothing in my area, has replaced their affordable, comfortable, long-lasting clothing with brands that are 15-30$ more expensive, including some of a material I can't even touch *shivers*
the cheapest button-down short or long-sleeve they had on the racks was 29.99 - and I thought it was bad enough playing 14.99 for a decent shirt
so... their CHEAPEST was more than double the top price of what I'd normally purchase
...they've effectively lost my clothing sales with this seriously dumbass move
sadly, I guess I'm gonna have to start buying clothing online, which will be a bitch not knowing how the material feels until it arrives
I'm extremely texture-sensitive and many materials - like silk or the stuff most winter jackets & pants are made of - I not only can't touch but even the sound of irritates/aggravates me where I can hardly physically move *shivers*/*ugh*
this week it was also assumed that, because I don't have a vehicle, I'm rich... I mean, what in the 7 hells?!?
IF I was rich - if I could even feasably afford it - I would have a vehicle... but I haven't since '99, before I even moved to the Cities
it ranks right up there with people assuming I go out to eat every day because they've seen me at McDs or Popeye's this year
...a'yep, since you've seen me there once this year, "of course" I must be walking all the friggin' way there and spending money there daily //sarcasm// *sighs*
aye, I'm pretty much a cheapskate - or, as some have told me, "frugal."
I'm lucky if I have 20$ a month saved after bills - and, no, I don't live luxuriously, that's just basic bills
no cable in this household, no fancy smartphone thingies, no vehicle ( as aforementioned ), just the basic phoneline with computer that I use as my TV source - on the same plan I've been since I got the #
( they've even tried to get me on "better deals," but they're always more spendy *laughs* - so... yeh, no, I'm good )
yes, I "splurge" the less than 10$/month for netflix... that's cheaper than what going out to eat one night would be !
I think it's a fair trade *laughs*
even when I have vaca time to use, I save up as much as possible to be able to take said vacation... which is why I never guarantee that I'll be going on vaca until post-tax season ( or even set up my vaca dates for the year for approval )
I've even had "friends" unfriend/block me because I differed with them on such-and-such opinion - Oi!
honestly, they obviously didn't know me as well as they thought and they are going to be the ones disappointed...
everyone in the world has a different opinon on something than each other, if everyone thought the same this would be one extremely pathetically boring world
and if people think they can keep only people who think like them around them, well... good luck to them, boy is their world gonna suck !
one of the reasons I have the friends I do is not because we think the same, though on some things we may agree, but rather that their being different makes my world more interesting !!
I know full well if I was able to pull the friends I have that're still alive into one location, there'd be one helluva fight that'd probably occur
( unless I could convince 'em all to shut the 7 hells up and enjoy being my friends
- it's how I "survived" being part of multiple "cliques" in later HS, I wouldn't put up with any one friend starting with with any other friend just because they weren't part of "their" group
I'd give them the ultimatum to either fuck off or deal with the fact I don't just hang out with one group of people... usually they'd stop :)
for some reason in later HS a lot of people like this "Grr" fellow, even if I didn't much like myself )
ANYways... I'm expecting grocery deliver soon and my li'l beasties not long thereafter
so, my Lovelies and Gentlefolk, enjoy your weekend if you can, and remember LIfe is about Living !
twittage-and-a-half ::
9/10 : *yeesh* 3rd near-accident at the intersection today - no actual, but a lot of stupid people pissing off other likely-stupid people today :(
9/11 : ignorant people's posts attempting to compare hurricane evacuations to illegal immigration: proof something's screwy w/ some people's brain
9/13 : great dream idea : active-DL vehicle restriction, a vehicle couldn't move without an active-DL to activate it - costly but legal and safe !
9/13 II : no, I do not take drugs - especially illegal! - for the pain I've had all my life nor for pain(s) I've "gained" since... nor do I intend to
9/15 : warmest morning since July, expected to be warmest day since July... swear August & September got switched somehow *dreading wintertide*
