Millie's terrible day thread. You can post any and of your disappoints for the day, week, month, year, or your life.

I wouldn't call this terrible, just one of those things.

My grand daughter's seventh birthday was this week and what she said she wanted more than anything was a black dwarf hamster. Off I go to Petco, cage, shavings, food, treats and said hamster, to a tune of $185.

Brought Hamster over on Thursday and yesterday my daughter tells me "Now she says she wanted a guinea pig and doesn't want the hamster."

So now I have a hamster named Jerry. He keeps getting on top of his wheel trying to reach the top of the cage then falls off. He keeps doing this.

He fits right in here.

Rename him Sisyphus.
 
I'd let your hamster play with my cat, Cat and she'd get rid of him for you.

I have a cat, a black cat with orange eyes named Poe (of course) she's setting a record for getting hit with the squirt gun from trying to get in the cage. This is why I prefer dogs, they're big enough to kill people, not little rodents.
 
Cats gotta do what a cats go to do.

Yeah, but she's fair. Last week she left a dead mouse on my office chair, but two days before that she left one on my wife's recliner.
We have a field nearby and they keep getting into tiny cracks around the house. I think Poe has more confirmed kills than the armies of some small countries.
 
About once a month, being female sucks ass. 😖

My head hurts, my stomach hurts, I've got a slight fever, and being upright is exhausting.

Maybe when they took my tubes out I should'a been all like, "Hey doc, that doesn't look like enough, maybe just take the whole uterus out? I have enough kids, be a pal?"
 
Be careful what you wish for, NF.

My wife had her tubes tied (after three abortions... she was too fertile. Who'd get pregnant from just a kiss? ;) ). It was fibroids that ended in a hysterectomy with one oophorectomy, then another fibroid and a oophorectomy with corrective reconstruction of her vault, then HRT, then HRT-suspected breast cancer, then a lumpectomy, then 10 years of tamoxifen and the forced loss of libido, to years of being ignored by her gyno ("Why do I need to see you? You can't have children."). And so on, and so on.

Hysterectomy without a clinical reason, of course, is not going to be covered by insurance. That our experience was decades of misery and ups and downs in the intimacy department is certainly no indication of what you're in for, but looking back on it, it was such a slippery slope that makes it a miracle that we are still together after 38 years. 39, now that there are signs of dementia? Oh, God.

Yeah, the monthly "visitor" is a real pain, but take solace in still having all the parts can be a good thing.

I know the first part of that, three failed birth control methods here. I mean we wanted kids, just, not that soon, and not that close together.

I'm sorry you guys had to go through all of that though.

I know, my SIL had to wait two years while her doctors convinced her insurance people that it was medically necessary that she never get pregnant again. My brother got a vasectomy while they waited, but they were still on pins and needles till her hysterectomy.

I live in monthly fear that it won't happen and I'll find myself pregnant again as has happened to a few female relatives after getting a tubal. Only one of them had an ectopic pregnancy because of it though. Which might be a death sentence in this day and age.

But, I am glad that I haven't suffered any serious issues.
 
I come back after weeks and weeks away and discover my profile picture is gone here but still on the main site. I've re-uploaded it there. But it isn't back here yet. WTF!?
 
Power flickered, now I gotta go fix the clocks again. I've never had to fix the clocks so much in one year before, much less in one summer. D=
 
Most of the clocks I have now have some sort of battery, memory or auto set. There are very few I have to futz with.
