We have an early contender for Creeper of the Month!


And I am rolling on the floor with laughter.
Also, because his profile (and the fact that his username includes the word Hero!) is equally hilarious:  http://www.okcupid.com/profile/Random_Hero4u

Edited to add:
I replied to him:

And he wrote back:What a winner! You'll have to fight me for him, Marian!

I've started at least six posts over the past month or two, and yet completed none. 

Stuff that has happened... dad is feeling better.  His dog is pregnant and I want a puppy.  It would be the great-grandpuppy of the doggie I grew up with!  But Jim is very much against a puppy. As are the cats.

I finally am a Radio KoL DJ.  Something I'm sure no one remembers me going on about because it has been YEARS since I attempted to become one.  I had even stopped playing the game almost completely. Then I happened to log on one night and the the DJ who was told me to apply. So I did. And somehow I got it.  
I'd forgotten how much fun DJing can be.  

Other than that, not a whole lot of excitement. And I'm all about that. The peace is nice.

Jim's been working a lot of overtime which has its good and its bad points.  At least he is not in San Diego!

Pseudo-Dom: If I choose to dominate you, you must answer many questions first. Are you up for that?

Me: I am up for questions but not this attitude of "if I choose to dominate you". How about if *I* choose to allow you to dominate me, I'll answer your questions.
Sorry, but this girl is not the doormat you seem to be seeking.


Pseudo-Dom: I have not said anything whatsoever about your decisions. Your anger is not with me.

I'll do some research, but presently I don't think I know anything at all about seeking, or about dominating, a doormat.

I make my own decisions, for myself. I like to think everyone should. It works for me, but your mileage may vary.

I'm glad you're up for the questions.

How many questions can you handle at one time without overloading?


Me: And I did not say anything about anger. You presume far too much.
I also didn't say I was up for your questions.
While you are doing that research, please work a bit on your reading comprehension.

... And blocked.

Had he been one of those poor, illiterate souls I often run into, I likely wouldn't have felt the need to correct him.  This guy obviously has a good grasp on the language.  He clearly was attempting to fake Dom right from the beginning with his choice of words. Or maybe he was feeling me out to see if my self-esteem was low enough that I would respond to his attempt to imply that I MAY be worthy of him.  Either way, I said buh-bye.

I wanna lick your lady holes

...
Really?
Lady holes?
That's the best euphemism you can come up with?
At least he can spell basic words unlike most of the creepers.

Or no crap, as the case may be.
My dad has an intestinal blockage. This is not the first time but, obviously, this is not a good thing. He was just admitted and they are still working out the hows and whys.

We may not exactly be on the best of terms these days but I certainly don't want anything horrible to happen to him. Please give him a little spot in your happy thoughts for today that everything comes out ok. So to speak.

I am so angry and sad and frustrated and feels like about every other negative emotion right now. And not really for any good reason.

Today was supposed to be Jim's last day of work in San Diego and he would leave tomorrow morning to come home. But no. This morning they tell him he has been extended until the 22nd. Not only is he there longer but he will barely make it home in time for Christmas.

I know that I should be grateful that he will, and I know that I shouldn't be surprised because they love to pull this kind of shit so it isn't really much of a surprise and it isn't that much longer. It is just that I was so excited to see him this weekend so to have that happiness crushed at the last second... there aren't even words. But there are certainly tears.

I am sure I'll be better in a few hours but for now, I'm a blubbering baby.

It has been below freezing the past couple of days and our furnace isn't working properly! It is putting out heat, just not as much as it should. I'm too much of a scared-y cat to mess with it myself and can't afford a service call until Friday so we're just bundling up and thanking the powers that be for space heaters. ;c)

Jim has been in San Diego since October but in one week, he'll be home!
Things are still up in the air about how he is getting home and thus when he'll be back but he will definitely be back by this time next week barring any major difficulties. *knock wood*

He did have plans to ride with a friend who was coming back on the same day but now that guy is going to be there until May. It sucks that he may have to take the train (it takes longer than driving) but at least he isn't the one who had to stay! If the trade off for him being home a day or two later is not having to be there another six months, I will take it!

Yesterday was most definitely a Monday. One of those Mondays where you feel like Murphy's pet project.

Jim arrived in San Diego around 10am after over 24 hours of driving (well, shared with a friend but not getting a whole lot of sleep) to find out he couldn't get into his apartment until 3pm. When he finally did, he found that his "luxury" accommodations (as they described it) were anything but. At one time a seedy motel, it is cramped and hideous, no washer/dryers or even laundry on-site and no wi-fi or computer room.

He had wanted to stay at the place he had his first trip anyhow so he's going to try and get moved but if they don't have an open spot in a carpool in the complex he wants, he will be SoL. Here's hoping there is one.

Here at home, I lost my debit card. Argh.
The thing is, it is not a card from my bank. I'd had issues getting one from them so I've been using my PayPal debit card. It pulls it out of the bank anyhow so it is pretty much the same thing plus I get a cash back bonus. It is minuscule, but free money is free money.

I went to the PayPal site to deactivate my card and request a new one. No problem deactivating but when I tried to request a new one, it freaked out and ended up locking me out. When I went back to try again, it told me I was denied and would have to wait a month before I could apply again.

So I called and did the good ol' Customer Service tango through 4 or 5 reps before I was finally told that they couldn't verify my identity and so could not issue me a new card. Why couldn't they verify it? Because their site had forced me to change my address to a street address in order to request the new card. So their identity protection measures made me unidentifiable.

Since I couldn't get that card, I went to the Chase website to see if I could get a card from them only to find that I can't find myself anywhere on that account. Either their website is odd and only shows the primary account holder or I was removed from the account when Chase bought out Washington Mutual.

Oy. So I'm headed to the bank here in a few to try and get myself a debit card. Of course, I'll have to wait for it to come in the mail, assuming I can even get one, so I am having to rely on checks until then. By the way, do you know how many businesses don't accept checks these days? Welcome to the plastic age!

Here's hoping that today is considerably better for us all!

This week the topic for the collab channel was family so I did a little interview with everyone in the house and the video came out wonderfully so I wanted to share.
What a crazy cast of characters!
