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.

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.

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]

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

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

no he's been doing this awhile. he's at the right age to be getting permanent teeth

it is a gorgeous house

pretty much and when they do this at work it's unpleasant all around

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I have three train rails within a mile of my house. They like to all go off in the early a.m. A fire station probably wouldn't bother me that much. ...er.

Upholstery IS nommy. Surely. Um. ...yeah.

Me? Give you ideas? What ideas could I possibly give you? *bats eyes*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

hahaha soul will steal anything cylindrical, pens, lighters

[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

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

scared the hell out of me at grandma and she was nowhere near that close

CHEW CHEW

[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

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I don't generally hear the sirens, but the train whistles....

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

also used tohear them at granny's. that train is dead now

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

They're very much alive here.

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.

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.

[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

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.

[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.

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]

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

[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

[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
