In Need of Beauty

[cornerofmadness]

I'm so tired of the ugly. I'm tired of people who, if you don't agree with them react with hostility. I've been considering a friends cut. Though that really wouldn't help with the issues bringing this up right now. For that I'd need to use our roadkill freezer to hide the evidence until I can get the flesheating beetles into play.

I have been so lucky that most of my jobs have been relatively peaceful and most of us, if we don't get a long at least avoid each other. Never have I had it drag out for a year. I don't want to say more on an open forum but it's just really making me sad. I need to find my center again.

I looked at Athens to see if I could go there but all they have going on right now is a quilt show (and probably the same one I saw here in Jackson) and a vintage apron/dish towl show....see i need to go to Columbus and see the orchids or something

I also wish to understand my cats. I want to read their minds. Soul has taken to CHEWING on the ottoman like he were a dog. I yelled tonight and he went and chewed on the leg of the table instead. Mom and I wonder if he's teething or something.I've only ever had one cat who chewed stuff and he didn't eat furniture (well he ate part of the rug AND the rug tack)

Kanda was easy to corral but OMG he kept spitting the liquid. It was everywhere. I was laughing so hard. Soul was hard to catch but easy to medicate.I nearly drowned the poor baby. I squirted it in, expecting a fight, didn't get one and ended up filling his whole mouth.





there are a couple for like 40K in wellston this size. This is a nice big house. Too bad both Wellston and Centerville are becoming ghost towns. I mentioned looking at houses there and I thought my students were going to kidnap me and tie me up until the urge passed

That's a gorgeous house. I love it.

Poor Kanda. *giggles at Soul*

STABBITY TO JOB PROBLEMS.

Oh I agree wholeheartedly....GORGEOUS HOUSE! I want I want!!!! *jumping up and down*

Hmmm...thought...did Soul start chewing on the furniture after you started giving him that medicine? Maybe he's desperately trying to get rid of the taste?

You know...I just don't get it...about people reacting with hostility if someone doesn't agree with them. I mean what the hell is wrong with them? The world certainly doesn't revolve around their oh so lofty opinions of themselves. Everyone has the right to think what they want, and to decide if they agree (or disagree) with what someone else has said. So if someone doesn't agree with you, well hello...by who's authority gives you the right to go on the attack? GEESH hon..those aren't friends you're dealing with. Those are soul suckers who are using you to their own advantage.

it's in excellent shape from the outside (everything else around it is falling down mind you) sadly it's right across from the fire hall.

Soul says upholstry is NOMMY

don't give me ideas

TJ chews on the weirdest shit, like the cap of the fat magic marker, or the paper in my calculator, and the antenna on my cordless phone has teeth marks in it. Dumb cat.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

hahaha soul will steal anything cylindrical, pens, lighters

[sillymagpie.livejournal.com]

I can usually be patient until people give up on being hostile, but... :-(

Kanda sounds like Dickens! The one time I had to give him liquid medication, he'd keep his mouth open and shake so half of it wound up on me!

Soul sounds a bit like wildrider's cat Cairo, who loves to gnaw on the oddest things.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i have a temper. I'm trying to control it so hostile people make that very hard.

that's whatKanda did. screw you woman. SPIT

Soul is a truly odd cat

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

That house is huge. I won't tell you what it would cost here.

Sorry that someone is giving you a hard time.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

isn't it a monster? Oh i can imagine the price tag where you are. lots of zeros at the end

thanks. not just me. the whole department is on edge

I hate cutting people off of my flist everyone is like a family member to me i interact more with my flist than i do with my blood relatives. I realize that a lot of people may complain about minor issues trust me i've read some very hurtful things in some of the other forums and it saddens me that grown ups act like this, go figure anyway i hope that you consider me a flisty still. That house is beautiful if i could afford i would buy it myself. Good luck with the house hunting.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes that is also why I'm very slow to cut people off my list (and no fear you're fine) I don't mind so much about complaining about things. Hell I do it often. I'm thinking more of the people who ask something, get hostile with your answers or as I said most of this is directed at WORK where we're having issues

isn't that a cool house. Like I said I'm just playing around. I won't consider buying until this time next year because of tenure (if I don't get it, I no longer have a job)

[bob_fish.livejournal.com]

Bleurgh to annoying people and WOW to the price of that amazing house.

I love your weird kitties. My kitty likes to chew my hand.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

well that one isn't for sale but one in Wellston about the same size was @ 45K because no one wants to live there any more I guess. if I buoght that everyone could come live with me

hahaha oh they bite my hand too and my achilles tendon seems particularly succulent

[seatbeltdrivein.livejournal.com]

I like your idea on handling annoying people. There *was* this "green" cremation fluid that came out a year or so back that was meant to dissolve the body without the use of fire...

I love that house! It's so pretty. Too bad it's in area that apparently no one wants to live in? ): I guess the unibomber shack is still the best bet after all XD

Yeah, my cat's never taken to chewing on things, just clawing the hell out of everything. What's gotten into Soul? 0_o

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oooo melting fluid. i see potential there. wonders if i can work it into a murder mystery

yeah sadly this area is highly depressed. nice house. yeah i'll be in that unibomber shack before we know it

my cats luckily don't claw much but Soul's problem is, he's just plain weird

[bob_fish.livejournal.com]

D: You and CoM are well-matched in terms of fiendishness. Ask her about knowing where the filet mignon cuts are on your body.

[nebroadwe.livejournal.com]

I hadn't thought of flesh-eating beetles. Mind you, I'm occasionally tempted to skip the prior phase that develops the evidence you need the flesh-eating beetles for. Why not save yourself a step? I sez to myself ...

Medicating animals is always a ... fascinating process. I was dogsitting for a friend and had to give the dog a daily pill. "Just wrap it up in some cheese," she told me. Ha. The dog would just eat the cheese and spit out the pill. Oodles of fun.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

see i have access to flesh eaters as part of my job....

oh yes dogs are uber good at the pill spit

[rain-oubliette.livejournal.com]

Cockleburr was not a chewer. (Unless it was a human hand or foot, of course.) My other cat, Ewok, chewed on plastic bags. Grocery bags. He would also eat pizza and corn. WTF?

Nice house. I have to give it's current owner's a bad hand gesture, however, due to the black jockey they have by the door. I hate those things - especially if they are colored black as that is an affront to African Americans.

It's sad that such nice houses are so undervalued, though. You wouldn't be able to touch that for under several hundred thousand out here.

We're having more drama at work. Yet another phlebotomist being a douche bag. This one, however, should be fired.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah well you KNOW this area. Is a colored lawn jockey so surprising? And yes if this was my place that would be the first thing to the dumpster.

oh you are getting your share of idiocy at that hospital

[jojo-kun.livejournal.com]

All the best of luck in your quest for positivity! That is so important. I can't be around people who are negative/hostile. I have no tolerance for that at all. D: I'm sorry you have to be around those sorts of people! When they're online, at least there is the friends cut option. I hope it helps!

Ooh that is a beautiful house! So big! The problem with big houses (or any house for that matter) is the maintenance. That can really suck. Good thing your students are looking out for you! lol! ;P

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I can get negative, well we all can but I'd like to think that I'm open to new ideas and my usual first response isn't to tell someone who disagrees withme to go fuck themselves like some people I know.

Yes maintenance is a problem, especially on old homes like this

[ital-gal.livejournal.com]

sometimes i just don`t get people. I like a good argument myself, i learn a lot that way, but don`t get the point of hostile, life is hard enough. plus,i don`t have a lot of patience for that kind of behavior, so its a little too easy to get sucked in. good luck good luck with that.

oh, looks like a dream house. such a tragedy though when a town just fades away.

sounds like you have a good crop of students this time around?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh i do like to argue too, so long as it's civil. It's the STFU attitude the moment you disagree that gets me pissed off.

it is sad and right now 1 in 4 counties are dying here (in the states in general), counties not towns. scary as hell.

My nurses are usually pretty good, a few scary ones but usually they won't make it past me

[silvrethorn.livejournal.com]

I read that article about "natural depletion" and immediately thought of your photos, and Centerville. Sounds like you live at Ground Zero of the aging-out phenomenon--and you're helping accelerate the process yourself, you know, educating these kids so they can leave the area and get a life.

Bah, negative people. Hopefully this one will hang him/herself, given enough rope.

I'll trade you medicating cats for medicating birds. As I've said before, at least cats can't fly, and they don't seem to be as creative as birds when it comes to deliberately inflicting pain.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh yes and believe me a lot of them run up aganist their families who DO NOT WANT THAT

Hopefully so

ugh no thanks.you keep your birds

THAT HOUSE IS ONLY 40K?!?!?!?!?!

Jiminy Christmas, my house would fit INSIDE of that thing, and it was appraised at 96K this year!!!!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

well not this one but one just this size in Wellston is 45K and it still ain't selling.

[ozma914.livejournal.com]

I have to confess that, although I've never done a flist cut and I'm generally opposed to the idea, I'm getting a bit tired of the haters and the harpers, myself ...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I've only done one or two before more for the fact I just couldn't stand their bile any longer (one being a rather famous author who made me ashamed of being the same sex as her)
