Dread Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Looking for some advice and it is annoying so I'm posting here. About 18 months ago, two of my best friends split up. I'm the god father to their eldest son, so I'm pretty close to these people. The reason they split up is because he had an affair and left them for the other woman. At the time it happened I tried to stay close to both of them, because he hadn't started a relationship with the new woman and I thought by being supportive to his emotional craziness he may realise it was a mid life crisis thing and try again with his family. Anyway that didn't happen and in some weird twist, the other woman was married and the 2 jilted partners (my female friend) and the other husband have now started dating. Some thing about supporting each other through their ordeals. Normally in a cheating scenario, I write the person off and move on with my life. But I absolutely adore both my godson and his little brother and want to still very much be involved in their lives. What would you guys do? Call her and ask if she's cool with you taking them out on occasion. I'm sure she will be. Explain they're important to your life and you want to be involved. Believe me, having a trustworthy adult friend who actually wants to spend time with your kids is a treasure. This is coming from a guy who doesn't go out with his wife much because of the prohibitive cost of babysitters. The kids may not really know it, but when they're older, they will truly appreciate what you did for them even though you are essentially doing it for yourself.

MaxPower Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Thanks for the advice guys, the babysitting offer was definitely high up on my list of options. KW you have no idea.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 My 9pm train to Newcastle from London has become my 10pm train. I was always getting home pretty late, but the fact one train failing outside of Peterborough can grind an entire network to a halt is a joke. And it means I don't get home until after 2am. Thank god I have Monday off of work..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobobob_100 Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 On top of the drama shit that's going on in my life, my precious Ultra drive terabyte hard drive died on me. One of the only things i wanted to save which was my hundred and fifty gigs of music got currupted and unsaveable. I am going to cry.

JackFetch Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I called someone yesterday about a meeting tonight and left a message where it was. Of course he showed up at the wrong place and when he got there my supervisor blamed it on me. He told him "I should have just called you myself", like I don't call everyone for him because he's too fucking lazy to call people. The guy just called to let me know it was his fault for not listening to the message and now I know how much of a dick my supervisor is.

dc20willsave Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 So, its my last day in Montana. My mom took me to visit family. My sister hears this and decides to monopolize mom's time because of drama. Now I've been stuck, hungry, waiting for my mom to get back from running the selfish bitch around on something my mom was told would tale a half hour.

SuaveStar Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Winters here! The snow came, and the turned into ice, and turned a two minute journey from the end of my street to my house into a twenty minute journey where I had to watch my step in case I slipped.

SuaveStar Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I feel so claustrophobic right now. It's a good sized space, but it's just, there's nowhere to move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chops Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Why is it that every time I get issued a weapon, I receive it nasty as fuck? However, every time I go to turn a weapon in, I have to clean it until it's inspection ready? Who keeps getting my clean ones, and who keeps giving me dirty ones?

Missy Posted December 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 How can soldiers knowingly turn in weapons in piss-poor condition? Don't they want their brothers-in-arms to have the best equipment possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 I hate to be morbid about this, but what are the odds in any given weapons batch that the weapons are coming from people who have died? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuaveStar Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 So, this is the week. This is the week, where I find out my mark for my radio project, the final week of classes before Christmas, with a 70% for a class test in the middle of the week, and finally, the week where I take another test, and find out the answer to an age old question: Am I dyslexic? Have I been slightly fucking up all education work in my life, because I just could not fully understand how to work within the confines of the situation set to me. Or, I will find out, that I'm absolutely fine, and just incredibly stupid. This looks to be the week, where at least one of those questions will be answered. Yip, this is how my mind works when going through a mini-anxiety attack. Long winded thoughts, no real coherency, and just everything slamming down and making pretty much no sense. That, and a raised heart rate, throbbing headache, and the shortness of breath, just make these moments the highlights of my day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 This is a major 3rd world problem here, but it is a minor annoyance: Tonight I've had one tweet favorited ten times and retweeted by 14 people (including a comedian who has almost 900K followers). So it's safe to say that a pretty fucking funny tweet has been seen by about a million people. I haven't gained any followers and I've lost two. I don't understand Twitter physics.

Guest Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I gave up trying to figure it out a while ago. I've been on the thing for months now and only have 30 or so followers. People are fickle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I've followed a few people after their witty tweets. We have a massive twitter audience for a live Monday night politcal debate show on the public broadcaster that is always the #1 trend here in Australia and sometimes makes the worldwide trends. But I don't think the retweet button is good. I always try to do the RT @..... thing so that person gets more credit for their comment.

bobobob_100 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 I hate the fact that Christmas to most people is about who has the best gift or who has the most decorations in their yard. Christmas to me is more about being with your family, friends, or anyone you're close to and showing that you love them. Christmas is one day out of the year not a whole month, or two in some cases.
