Negative Nancy Thread


phee

Recommended Posts

A statement from Rev gave me this idea.

We certainly have a lot of threads about hate, ruined days, etc... to counter act the threads that made your day, things that rock, etc...

This thread is for posting all of the stuff that just plain sucks, no matter how optimistic you try to be, no matter how many times you have tried to see the bright side, no matter how positive you are. Some things just SUCK.

So count your blessings, look on the bright side, and then tell the world to fuck off in this thread:

I will be be the first negative Nancy:

There is NO POSITIVE SIDE TO MY VAN BREAKING, it just sucks, and no matter what angle I try to see it from it continues to suck. Also the fact that my wife's past likes to show up and throw up in the punch over and over again.... it just sucks. Too

Please, continue and embrace your negative Nanciness.

No matter how hard I try, I cannot find the lesson in my having lost most of my teeth, through no fault of my own... and standing to lose the rest because I can't afford to get a partial. It's not fair and I hate hate hate the idea of being a hideous toothless hag before I'm even 50 years old.

I hear you Pomba. Going thru the same thing and can't get any help thru Salvation Army or United Way. They just shrug their shoulders and say I don't know what to tell you but since the state cut back on assistance programs, there's nothing we can do.

I'm tired of people messing with my friend scyko_kitty. They hacked my laptop she uses, messed it up, hacked her myspace, email and vampire freaks accounts and hacked her account here. I swear I'm gonna find out who did it and they will regret crossing a protective DRAGON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Remember, never mess in the affairs or with friends of a Dragon, for thou art crunchy and tasty with ketchup.

ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm fucking sick of not being able to eat anything.

I'm sick of spending so much time sick to my stomach.

I'm sick of them deciding it's easier to tell me I have IBS then actually figure out what the hell is going on in there.

I'm sick of having to take increasingly scary pills just to approximate a normal life.

---and then having them not help, or have really scary side effects. This latest one comes with risk of Very Bad Things. It's completely fucking stupid.

I am sick and tired of all of it.

A lot of those options don't really fit me, though....

Don't worry, I don't think you were making light.

There are always multiple angles to look at a problem.

I just wish mine would fuck off and go away. :p

COLLAPSE - Theatrical Movie Trailer, "Documentary Horror"

Since seeing this documentary I've been doing research into its claims, mainly 'peak-resources,' climate change, and where the economy is going (bankruptcy). A famed analyst has predicted similar things to what's in this movie which is the first link below, the most notable to me being food shortage. Oil is a temporary resource (in how long it takes to be replenished), and the only thing that can power modern farming machinery; so along with climate change causing drought and flooding there exists the very real matter of food shortage happening eventually in the US.

"The man who predicted the 1987 stock market crash and the fall of the Soviet Union is now forecasting revolution in America, food riots and tax rebellions - all within four years."

World food stocks dwindling rapidly, UN warns

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/17/world/europe/17iht-food.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1

The most notable UN article excerpt:

The recent scientific papers concluded that farmers could adjust to 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit) to 3 degrees Celsius (5.4 degrees) of warming by switching to more resilient species, changing planting times, or storing water for irrigation, for example.

But that after that, "all bets are off," said Francesco Tubiello, of Columbia University Earth Institute. "Many people assume that we will never have a problem with food production on a global scale, but there is a strong potential for negative surprises."

I could add a lot more to this but wanted to summarize it.

I've had a similar instict and I've been trying to prepare for it. I really need to get a decent scale garden going and I do actually have the space for a pretty large one. There are a few friends who have large land plots that should be starting large gardens. I never could stress the importance of learning the old crafts to people. I wonder if I could teach myself how to spin wool? (And now we all really think I'm nuts.)

    • Been on auto insurance quotes for the past 7 hours trying to  assist my niece in finding affordable coverage.  This sucks for young people in Michigan.  Then it's compounded by living in the city of Detroit. 
    • Is this @cthulhu63's doing? I remember the FB post gauging interest but I didn't realize it was big enough for Mlive to catch it.
    • ~~~~~ What angers me the most about the entire incident is that it shouldn't have even been a thing.  I take my vehicle in for service every year and they are supposed to do specific point inspections for each maintenance check.  My brake line was completely rusted through and finally gave up the goat.  When I mentioned that at the service center and also how they said I was supposed to have an undercarriage zinc wash, the first thing the rep said was, "Well, you know how the weather is here and how the rain water and salt can corrode the underside of vehicles."    Yeah, I almost lost it.  That was the reason for me having the anti-corrosion wash done!  Literally, all 3 brake lines were 100% corroded on the external with the one eaten completely through.   I told them that thanks to this, when I get my vehicle back, I'm going to be under there with my inspection mirror because now I don't trust anything.  She then goes on to tell me that I hadn't been there since September of 2022.  But a service should last longer than one month and my vehicle started slowly losing break fluid less than 6 months later with being driven half the usual time and distance due to a change in Trene's doctors being closer to the Detroit city limit.   I have always worked on my vehicles myself.  Growing up, my father was an off and on mechanic and my brother was a military mechanic, so working on vehicles is practically in my blood.  The only thing I don't do is undercarriage stuff because I do not have the equipment for it, but I have a shade-tree mechanic neighbor who is willing to help me out with that.  My dealership warranty was up in 2019, so I have no issues with handling things myself going forward.   ~~~~~ My sister's situation was caused by an accident and the last thing I need is for her to lose faith in my abilities due to someone else's inability to properly do their job because auto places generally have an unspoken rule that they can get more work and money of off female drivers because we don't understand our vehicles and need their assistance.
