What's Bothering You?

This is more like a petty complaint but why are baby books so flimsy? My nephew destroyed 3 now. All of them were the hard-back kind. It was because of the loose spine that allowed him to break them. It's like do these people not know how strong a toddler's grip is? Another thing that bothers me is when the pages are made with the same material that's used for cereal boxes. Again, it's too weak for a toddler.

As someone who works with flimsy, floppy, carton etc. baby books in various languages daily I agree

I love this boombox i got but it takes up like half of m desk space so everything is now cramped over by my keyboard (and by everything I mean everything, like my house, 3DSXL, phone, tablet, food whenever I eat, etc). I gotta find a better place to put this boombox lol.

also got a thought off the top of my head to buy a small box of chocolates for my friend, and i want to make a card/note and send it to him, but I'm so nervous on how he will respond lol

I got a thing of sour punch straws, but they’re stale. The ones I get at the store are fine. My dad’s going to take them to work and someone will eat them, I guess. I hate how they’re stale.

i didnt even know stuff like that could get stale

my gp makes me want to commit murder. according to them, they could've only renewed the sick note after a few weeks as if, you know, severe depression and suicidal ideation just clears up that fast. (i wish.) since i last saw the doctor in mid-december, and the note expired on the last day of the same month, it's been 'too long' as if even the medication i was prescribed to try and treat those issues takes a month to work. (it doesn't; it can take up to 3 to tell.) they tell me to book an appointment. fine. there are no face-to-face appointments available online. great. we call in. the queue is 35 something people long. it takes hours to get heard. they say to call back monday. same garbage. hours-long queue. they try to give me an appointment that clashes with the booster they have me down for. the next offer is right before my benefits appointment, which is what i need the stupid note for in the first place. i don't know if i can make both. tough luck. the only appointments after that are in late march. over an entire month away. obviously the simple solution here is to print off the damn renewed fit note instead of dragging me into the practice and wasting the doctor's time for something so damn trivial that can be solved in five minutes. but no. jesus christ. my girlfriend can call her GP, get through within an hour and be seen within days, but nobody working at mine seems to have so much as a functioning brain cell, and it's causing me so much stress.

Since the Pandemic has really made things so bad the Healthcare system in America is so broken that Doctors/Nurses don't really have time or or patience to treat patients. The worst thing is I was going to see a Liver Doctor and a few days later I get a charge of $415.00 because they told me that my health insurance doesn't cover. UGH!!!! Going to the Doctor has become so impossible these days.

for something that's supposed to help, the pill has genuinely done nothing but the opposite for me it hasn't stopped my periods, because my flow goes back to being heavy around the date i would normally be 'on', and i'm bleeding non-stop between those dates anyway which a) probably isn't healthy considering i'm anemic and b) has caused me serious agitation downstairs because of having to constantly wear sanitary towels. it hasn't even stopped the cramps, because i'm experiencing them right now, and they hurt like hell. literally all this stupid little tablet has done is make me bleed constantly. i'm pretty sure i need to go on the one that has estrogen in it, since it's allegedly more effective, i just wish the doctor would've bothered to tell me the difference between the two instead of giving me a random one so i wouldn't have had to have gone through all this hassle, but he's a man, so only problem is the other one makes you more at risk for cancer, i think, and that terrifies me. i really just wish there was a better way to stop menstruation than the extreme of getting your tubes tied or a pill that has no guarantee of working. it sucks.

I hate how I develop crushes on the majority of my friends. Whenever I do I obsessively text them to keep their attention. Every time I’ve confessed I was either rejected, blocked, or entered into a toxic relationship. It’s a terrible habit that’s led to a lot of unnecessary pain and awkwardness. The only workaround I have is bottling it up. Once enough time passes the feelings fade and I only become interested platonically. Having some control is nice, but it’s disturbing that this happens so often. I’ve had it for a long time too. If only I could prevent myself from developing feelings in the first place…

my car won't start again
i think the battery may be dead cause it did this a week or so ago, and when my dad charged it up it was fine, but now it's not starting again. really hope I don't need to get a new battery cause they're not cheap lol.

I wouldn't wish being shy on my worst enemy ; ;

I'm usually chill around people who I'm close to, but super super shy around strangers, especially when caught off guard. Sometimes, I'll feel so shy that the nervousness can be heard in my voice, which makes the person I'm talking to feel awkward.

& now I feel like dirt just because somebody greeted me & I failed to adequately greet them back like a functioning human

I feel that. I used to be really bad at talking to just about anyone lol. What really helped me was this one game Sega made called Phantasy Star Online, back when it was on the Gamecube. Even when I first started playing that I barely interacted with anyone and over time just figured what the heck they don't know me. Even though it's outdated, that game holds a special place with me due to how it helped me.

I'm not replying to you to say that this is what you need to do. Just saying I know how it is and can relate. Baby steps Plume! We all started somewhere.

Thanks for the encouragement, Duke. I've met 90% of my friends on the internet, so I know what you mean. I've met some of those people in real life, and just knowing that they already knew what to expect from me (awkwardness and all) made it so much easier!

I really hate how everytime I go see a new Doctor I get a bill for a lot of money because again they keep telling me that health insurance doesn't cover it. I hate this stupid Healthcare system in America. Its so badly Broken!

I don't remember how expensive mine was, and I also don't know if you have a WalMart in your state, but that's where I got mine. It seemed to be the cheapest option around, rather than going to autopart stores.



Not my pet

Spoiler: TW: Mention of pet death

A dog I used to blow dry at work had to be put down and apparently he was really old. Like, I would have never guessed it by looking at him nor did he ever act old. But he was atleast 11+ yrs old, which is old for a big dog. He started having real bad health issues after his last visit. I liked him too, he would always 'sing'. Getting blow dried, sing, sitting there doing nothing, start singing. He was a nice dog.

Edit: OMG MOSQUITO DIE. This damn thing has been living in my room for weeks, prob off my blood, but I can never find it to kill it. Every night it flies around my EARS for about 10 mins until it finally goes away. I wish it would land in a spot where I can smash it. I'm not even really finding mosquito bites on me either.

why cant I find anything?!
