Friday Randoms?

I'm basing my off of something GLW posted earlier.

I usually read all of the posts everyone puts on here, but I don't respond to a lot of the sad/dilemma ones because I usually never know what to say. I want to say something nice and encouraging, but it usually comes out as awkward and can be taken the wrong way.

This happens a lot IRL too. Zip it!

    I'm right there with you. I'm just not equipped to deal with those situations.

  • I would never date anyone with kids.
  • My phlebotomist today was a really sweet older lady. When I was finished, she pulled the needle out and laid gauze over the needle site but then she moved the blood pressure cuff and blood SHOT out of my arm onto the floor. She said in her sweet little old lady voice, "Oh, you're a squirter!" and the student in the chair next to me heard and it was so funny yet embarassing  and I wanted to DIE.

  • I'm on so many meds right now (new antidepressant, antibiotic, new thyroid med, pain med for the UTI) and it's making me SUPER looped and aggitated.  I just want to go home and sleep it off.  It's really making my stomach hurt, too.  Bleh.

  • I didn't have a random until I read GLW's.  I get really squimish and light-headed at the mention of blood.  I am starting to see spots.  AHHH!

    DUDE. I would have laughed so hard if I heard this in person.

    My husband does this.. he's actually passed out before.

    It's kind of ridiculous.

    I have passed out many times due to this :(  You can't control it.

    I'm crying from laughing so hard. I'm picturing Betty White say it...

  • DH and I are going out with another couple tomorrow night to this pizzeria/bar near our place that we've been wanting to check out. Since making plans I've been craving pizza hardcore. Like, have my phone in hand ready to order cravings.

  • The only time I passed out from a needle was when I got a cortisone shot in my knee. The doctor stuck it right between my knee cap and calf bone and that pain alone made me turn pale white and lay down. I couldn't walk afterwards either. I will NEVER get a cortisone shot again.

     

    I'm watching Me In Black. I watch it only for the pug.

  • Because of my husband having surgery, he will not be able to drive his car. So I can't stuck driving the toy car until he is healed. I was laughing last ngiht because he was complaining about how quiet his car is. (He put the OE exhaust back on because the coutny I work in is guaranteed to get me in trouble while driving it with the louder exhaust.)

    I love that they tell you that it'll only be "a little sore" for a day or two.  I couldn't walk w/o serious pain for a few days!  The one cortisone shot I got in my knee was so much worse than the 4 I got in my foot.

    Damn you Nest for screwing up my siggy!

  • 0/3 offices called this week to set up my appointments.

    I have a feeling someone forgot to push whatever little button submits the orders at the doctors office.

    More work for me.

    I'm a lot better in writing than I am in person.  When people tell me awkward things in person, I just shrug, give them my "oh, that suuuucks" face, and say "what are ya gonna do, right?"  lol

    I type replies out a lot and erase them. I don't know why exactly...sometimes my responses are snarky and unwarranted. Sometimes, I don't know how to put into words what I want to say. For every post I've probably written, I must have erased another twice. I'm still coming into my own.

    ETA: Grammar fail

    No worries, I should have put on here that my other reason is because I have nothing nice to say. :)

  • I usually have to open posts several times because a lot of times my initial reaction is:

    OH FFS! *clicks it closed*

    I really want to give you a big bright yellow image. Of what? I don't know. But every time you think "FFS" or you hold your tongue, you should just post that picture as your response.  Oh! If you are still on twitter, you should look into adding "yourauntdiane".
