No internet for 2 days. I should say, no internet, no TV, no phone for 2 days. Time Warner says, "There is a outage in your area." Bullshit, already asked the neighbors and they had cable. Then they say, "We'll be there before the Browns game on Sunday". No one shows up, so I'm stuck listening to it on the radio. Then they finally show up today only to find out that someone fucked with our outside lines. They opened the cover on the internet box outside, stabbed 2 holes through the wire, and loosened the wire from the end piece. Fucking asshole people.
*EDIT* Also almost lost my 849 consecutive days on this site, but my wife was lucky enough to find a place that she could use the wifi on her phone to sign me in for yesterday.

Youtube is so damn annoying... They keep trying to shove Google+ on you and no matter how many times you decline it it pops back up. The new comment system also sucks horribly and I miss the old system of tracking your subscriptions.

Shopping for an attorney just sux. How do you tell the good ones from the bad ones? It's not like they have a dipstick. Every single one of them that I have spoken to seems to be above $2500.00 just for a retainer fee. DAMMIT KAT!!!!

I shopped for a lawyer this summer for a custody issue and the one I wanted wanted a $10,000 retainer. 
That's a lot of money for no guarantee. So we are taking that $ and going in a different direction. :/

Different direction meaning you're looking to put a hit out on the guy? I wonder if assassins prices have gone down due to the recession?

No, although my daughter did come up with a plan where she set him on fire when he slept and made it look like he fell asleep smoking. And another where she murdered him and his girlfriend and said they got in a fight and the gf flipped out and boom, murder-suicide.
She's... dark.

At least shes vocal about it. When my aunt and uncle where trying to get custody of me I kept it bottled inside and didnt tell anyone, which has lead to a lot of animosity towards my mom for how poorly she raised and treated me and my younger sister. She lost custody of both of us, but still keeps in contact and visits my sister when I havent heard from here in 8 years except for once saying she sent a child support check.
my sister doesnt remember, but I do and ive kind of held a grudge the whole time without talking about it.
crazy how shit can shape your life like that.

She's only vocal to me, though- according to her dad she's a perfectly normal and happy person. Once she's 18, she has no intention of ever having contact with him again, and that's just really sad. He kidnapped her because he wanted to fuck with me for 15 years, but it's at the cost of losing her once she's not legally required to see him. Hope these last 10 years have been worth it to him, because I'm done letting her be a pawn.
It's sad your mom is like that, I don't know how you let go of a grudge against someone like that unless they're reaching out to you and genuinely sorry and want to be in your life. Hopefully you can both move past it someday.

I had a similar situation with my biological parents. I was adopted by my grandparents after they lost custody due to beating and halfway starving me to death a few times. I obviously opted to never speak to either of them ever again. Sometimes holding a grudge and clinging to it is healthier then forgiveness. It distances people who would otherwise hurt you again over and over. At least that's how I look at it morbid as it sounds. I get a lot of my moral compass from just not wanting to be anything like those assholes.
Edit: To keep this post relevant...
Piss poor parenting grinds my gears. Mad respect to the real deal as they are few and far between.

The whole holding on to a grudge thing is a double edged sword for me. I hate my father to death, I couldn't care less about him, he could be dead in Mexico for all I care, he beat my mother and brother and I to near-death and never gave my mom money to help raise us. The price of not speaking to my father is not speaking to my half brothers as they always try to convince me to talk to him while trying to buy me off.
It's not a secret I have a very strong hatred for my father as he abandoned us when I was 6 and it was really hard not having a father figure growing up but my family got past the slump after my mom met my step dad (whom I love very much and as far as I'm concerned he is my dad) when I was 12.

What grinds my gears - When a professor tells the class to watch a video on the screen and leaves the pointer in the middle of the screen. It must be my OCD or something there abouts - but that REALLY grinds my gears.
