Isolated Blurt Thread

[MagicaPractica]

On some days I could simply puke

GRRR.

I hate this week. I hate my new hair. I'm sick of school. I'm sick of not having a good job. I'm irritated with my SO because our anniversary is evidently a total non-event.

I am just fucking irritated with everything.

The week will end, your hair will grow, school will eventually end and there will be a better job because you stuck with the schooling. However, men will be men and must occasionally be dope slapped.

I could cry. My friend's mother thinks that I can somehow magically pull 1200 a month for a tiny one bedroom apartment out of my ass. I'm going to have to move back with my parents (a very bad situation).

I could really cry.

Some people don't care and some people just don't get it that not everyone has the same financial resources. I hope you find something viable.

That I am still this upset doesn't bode well

I just got my kitchen chairs redone and they look gorgeous. I adore the dark green color. It's going to be very cold tonight. I think it's time for a good book, some hot tea and a warm fire.

Our local TV weather presenter has a problem with her radio microphone.

She wears tight fitting dresses beautifully but the rectangular transmission box for her microphone gives her a problem. Sometimes she wears it in the small of her back if it can be attached there. Her fellow presenter, on alternate nights, tends to wear tight fitting tops over a skirt with a belt. That presenter attaches the transmission box to the back of the skirt - clearly visible for what it is.

The presenter tonight, wearing a slinky skin-tight dress, had stuffed the transmission box up the backside of the dress. It made her attractive rear end less aesthetic than normal.

My dinner was delayed significantly for the second night in a row. The place that I usually stop at after the gym was closed, the two supermarkets in my town were out of ground beef (big snow storm coming tomorrow), and I really want more to eat than what I ended up getting, but I am out of snack food...

I'm in dire need of a long, slow, soft kiss from her. Oh God, I miss her.

Snow day. Going to have to shovel in about an hour or so. I wouldn't be dreading it normally. I like to shovel. But my knee is killing me today. This is going to suck.

This abso-fucking-lutely cracks me up. Clearly, it's the second coming of J.P.Morgan:

Feb. 25 (Bloomberg) -- Bernard L. Madoff’s daughter-in law Stephanie, the second wife of his son Mark, filed a formal request to have her surname legally changed to [ are you ready for this? ] Morgan, as well as those of her two children...

Priceless! You can't make this stuff up.

As only NPR can do it...

Dayum, it looks like we've got a serial killer on our hands!


February 24, 2010
A veteran SeaWorld trainer was killed Wednesday by a whale after she slipped and fell in the tank.

SeaWorld Orlando President Dan Brown says the incident appears to be an accident......... [ No shit, ya think? ]


MELISSA BLOCK, host:

In Orlando, investigators are at the SeaWorld theme park after a whale, an orca, killed a trainer this afternoon before an audience gathered for a public show. Authorities say the attack happened in a whale holding area at the Shamu Stadium. It's not the first time killer whales at the SeaWorld theme parks have attacked humans. And it's also not the first time this particular animal has been involved in an incident.

Judith Smelser, of member station WMFE, joins us from Orlando. And Judith, what have you figured out about what happened today?

JUDITH SMELSER: Well, investigators aren't quite sure what's happened, and they're not really saying very much. Officials with the local sheriff's office say one of the park's most experienced trainers, a woman who was about 40 years old, slipped and fell into a tank in a whale holding area, and was fatally injured by this whale. Press reports say this is a whale named Tilly, who's been at the park for a while. The sheriff's office says it seems to be an accident, but there is some confusion. There seems to be some contradictions between the eye-witness reports and what authorities say happened.

BLOCK: And what are some of those discrepancies?

SMELSER: Well, the main thing is that eye witnesses have told local media here that the incident happened during this performance, and that the whale lunged out of the water and pulled the trainer in. Obviously, officials are saying it was a slip and fall. That's just one of the many things that investigators are going to be trying to clear up in the next few days.

BLOCK: And Judith, we mentioned that this whale has been involved in past incidents involving humans. What can you tell us about that?

SMELSER: Well, there seems to be some confusion along those lines as well. SeaWorld's GM today read a short statement saying: Never in the history of our parks have we experienced an incident like this. But there have been some accidents. In fact, the Humane Society of the United States says that this same whale, Tilly, killed a part-time trainer in 1991 at a park in Canada. And the organization also said the same whale was involved in another death here at SeaWorld in Orlando, back in 1999. So I'm sure they're going to be going back over all of that history, as well, in the investigation.

BLOCK: Right. And Judith, the group you mentioned, the Humane Society of the United States, had long campaigned against these kind of marine theme parks. They say these are wild animals; they're killer whales. People shouldn't go to these shows, and whales shouldn't be kept in these parks.

SMELSER: Well, absolutely. The organization has certainly argued that these are, as you said, wild animals, and people shouldn't be interacting with them. And certainly, people shouldn't be gathering to watch that kind of an interaction. It's an unnatural interaction. I'm sure they're going to be weighing in on this in the coming days as well.

BLOCK: What else, Judith, do you know about what's going on at SeaWorld in Orlando after this fatal attack today?

SMELSER: SeaWorld really isn't talking very much about what they are doing. Again, the general manager of the Orlando park here didn't take any questions from the press after his prepared statement. He said only that they're investigating the incident, and that they're going to be reviewing all of their standard operating procedures at the park. We understand that officials from OSHA, the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration, are also on their way to Orlando to start an investigation.

Now, late today, the San Diego SeaWorld park also said it had suspended its killer whale show in response to what happened here. And Orlando, of course, canceled the show where the incident took place. And we certainly expect that it will suspend its killer whale shows here as well.

BLOCK: Judith Smelser, news director with WMFE in Orlando. Judith, thank you very much.

SMELSER: Thank you, Melissa.

I will have to exercise more restraint in the future over how far past the expiration date I'm willing to eat my yogurt.

I don't need this. I do not fucking need this. You do NOT treat someone the way I was treated today when they are doing their job and doing it right. If you all cannot figure that out, and I mean soon, then you can take this fucking job and shove it up your fucking ass!!!! I've had it!!!!! I HAVE FUCKING HAD IT!!!!!

 

[TheeGoatPig]

My mind is elsewhere.

Suicide Sal?

I'm trying to devise some interpretation signs for the improvement of our local park.

Some will be easy. There's a War Memorial in it so signs about the impact of the First and Second World Wars are essential.

There are to be other signs telling local stories about the park. One I hadn't heard of before today was Suicide Sal.

Sally was in her late teens when everything (and the booze) got too much for her. She decided that her life wasn't worth living. She intended to commit suicide by drowning herself in the park's lake. She found it difficult. In winter when it had rained a lot the lake is never more than three feet deep. In high summer, which it was when she wanted to commit suicide, the depth was eighteen inches. She sat down but couldn't keep her head under water. She tried lying down but floated, face up.

A passer-by waded in and pulled her out. The water had sobered Sally up and she didn't want to commit suicide any more. It helped that the passer-by just happened to be carrying a brandy flask which was the then recommended treatment for shock etc. Sally admitted that she had attempted suicide but failed.

For the rest of her long life she was known as Suicide Sal - even in her eighties.

I wonder if she was an ancestor of Fag-Ash Lil?

The tiny little daffodils are trying to bloom. It makes my heart sigh to see them again after so many long months of cold.

My cat keeps growling at us. We aren't sure why though, but we think it has something to do with all of the snow that fell over the last two days, and where he likes to go for nature purposes.

Sometimes, saying something the right way at the right time can have a huge effect.
