THIS IS A SHOUTING THREAD!!!! [More:]

I CALLED THE MOVING COMPANY LAST WEEK TO TAKE THE APPLIANCES TO THE UJA THIS FRIDAY. MY PHONE WAS OUT UNTIL THIS MORNING AND I DIDN'T GET THE MESSAGE THAT THEY ARE NO LONGER WILLING TO TAKE THEM!! FUCK VERIZON!!! I PAID MY BILL OVER A WEEK AGO!!!! I CHECKED AND NO CHARITY IN THE NYC AREA WILL TAKE LARGE APPLIANCES. NO BUSINESS HERE DEALS IN USED ONES EITHER--INCLUDING THE LOCAL EBAY RESELLERS. I DID FIND A JUNK REMOVAL PLACE WHO WILL, BUT THEY HAVE TO GET BACK TO ME TO SCHEDULE WHICH MOST LIKELY MEANS WORK WILL NOT START NEXT MONDAY--AND I STILL HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THE REVISED INSURANCE. GODDAMN IT!!! I WANT THE FUCKING HASSLES WITH MY PLACE TO STOP!!!
AND I DON'T WANT TO BE 39!!!!!!!

Junk removal places cost about $150, but they do it without a big hassle (unlike charities). Like you said, their scheduling isn't necessarily convenient. If you haven't, try Junkpros (877-258-6577). A friend used them, and they were prompt, quick, and surprisingly courteous.

Good luck with the apartment woes.

Oh yeah, this is a shouting thread. Lemme see: COMMANDER CUCKOO BANANAS! COMMANDER CUCKOO BANANAS! COMMANDER CUCKOO BANANAS!

I didn't really have anything to shout, and I'm afraid I've embarrassed myself. Not by shouting, mind you; I just peed my pants.

THIS IS A GOOD SHOUT! THE CHARITY JUST CAME AND COLLECTED THE FURNITURE I HAD TO GET RID OF. THEY SAID IT WAS BEAUTIFUL STUFF AND THEY'LL HAVE NO PROBLEM SELLING IT. IT WAS A HOSPICE CHARITY THAT COLLECTED IT.

AND NOW I'M GOING TO THE POST OFFICE TO POST A PICTURE I FOUND WHEN I WAS CLEARING OUT MY OLD STUFF. IT'S OF A CHURCH, AND I MANAGED TO TRACE THE ACTUAL CHURCH AND I PHONED THEM LAST WEEK AND ASKED IF THEY'D LIKE THE PICTURE, IT'S AN OLD WATERCOLOUR FROM THE 19TH CENTURY, IT'S NOT WORTH ANYTHING IN TERMS OF MONEY BUT THEY SAID THEY WOULD LOVE TO HAVE IT.

I MUST FINISH MY PRESENTATION FOR THE TRIP NEXT WEEK. BUT I CANNOT. ALL I THINK ABOUT IS ZAPATISTAS AND TEQUILA. A LOT OF TEQUILA.

WHY AM I ALWAYS HUNGRY??!! I EAT SO MUCH FOOD AND SUCH HIGH CALORIE FOOD THAT HOW CAN I POSSIBLY STILL BE HUNGRY? AND IT'S NOT NORMAL HUNGRY, IT'S LIKE I'M COMPLETELY EMPTY INSIDE AND THE HUNGER BECOMES ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT! UGH, I WOULD LIKE TO GO A DAY WITHOUT FEELING I'LL PUKE FROM LACK OF FOOD (COUNTERINTUITIVE, I KNOW BUT THAT'S HOW IT FEELS).

I'M TIRED OF HAVING THE POVERTY!

I FEEL WORSE TODAY THAN I DID YESTERDAY, PARTLY BECAUSE I COULDN'T FALL ASLEEP LAST NIGHT. I FINALLY FELL ASLEEP WITH A COUGH DROP IN MY MOUTH AND WHEN I WOKE UP 5 HOURS LATER IT WAS STILL THERE. WHAT IF I HAD ROLLED OVER AND CHOKED ON IT! GAH!

LF - increased hunger is not a symptom of good health! Can you see a doctor, even at one of those low-cost clinics? Hunger to the point of nausea could be a sign of diabetes, or parasites or something.

I FEEL BLAH, AND IT'S GORGEOUS OUTSIDE. I'M LYING AROUND LIKE A LUMP WHEN I SHOULD BE DOING SOMETHING. AARRRGGGHHH, GET OFF THE COUCH, ME!

AND I DON'T WANT TO BE 39!!!!!!!

So skip it and start being 40 now.

ALSO, I WENT TO THE DMV TODAY TO GET MY NYS LICENSE. THEY TOOK THE PIC AND EVERYTHING, BUT THEY ONLY GIVE YOU AN INTERIM LISCENCE! I HAVE TO WAIT THREE WEEKS TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH OF A FUGITIVE I LOOK LIKE IN THE PICTURE!

I will attest to that: I spent much of last year being pissy and bummed out because I was 39. When I turned 40 a couple of months ago, that all went away. It's all been biscuits and gravy ever since.

LOUD NOISES!

muddgirl: This is probably TMI but I just finished a 6 wk tetracycline regime that royally messed up me innards so I've been attributing it to that, not getting all the good stuff out of the food before it leaves me forever. Also, I do get hypoglycemic so I have to make sure I eat. I dunno if doctors in the states are better but in Canada they do a blood test and tell you your fine. Thanks for the suggestion though :)

I ONCE FELL ASLEEP WITH A COUGHDROP IN MY MOUTH AND WOKE UP WITH IT STUCK TO THE CENTER OF MY FOREHEAD.

JON IF MY OWN PICTURE IS ANYTHING TO GO ON YOU WILL LOOK LIKE SOMETHING THAT RECENTLY CRAWLED OUT OF A BOX CAR TO HUNT RATS TO MAKE A NEW COAT.


HUGH I HAVE SOME BOOKS FOR YOU, I HAVE TO READ THEM FIRST BUT THEN I HAVE THEM FOR YOU. NY REVIEW OF BOOKS PRESS IS THE BEST PRESS EVER. WHENEVER I RUN INTO PEOPLE FROM THERE I KISS THEIR ASS. IT'S PRETTY EMBARRASSING.

OH, I NEED LOTS OF MONEY GODDAMIT.

I HATE FREELANCING BUT CANNOT ESCAPE PAST ENTANGLEMENTS! FUUUUCK!

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, I FINALLY LOOKED UP THE WORD "FROTTAGE" YESTERDAY AND WAS PRETTY AMUSED AND NOW THINK IT'S AN EXCELLENT WORD!

THE SEPTIC PEOPLE

Why does that sound like an ethnic group from some Eastern European nation that no longer exists? 'We are the Septics, from Septia.'

BRING ON THE BOOKS, D_W, I'M READY FOR 'EM, AND I HAVE A FEW FOR YOU. LIKE GADDIS? GOT RECOGNITIONS. ALSO RUSSIAN FAIRY TALES THAT MAKE ME WANNA ROLL IN BUTTER AND DRINK MEAD! ALSO SOME MORE STUFF, HUZZAH FOR NYRB PRESS, THEY GOT THE STINK! HOW ABOUT AN AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL NOVEL OF AN ESCAPED AUSTRALIAN CONVICT NAVIGATING HIS WAY THROUGH THE SLUMS AND CRIMINAL UNDERWORLD OF MODERN BOMBAY? FOOD FOR BRAINS, LIKE DICKS FOR EARS! WHAT?

CARMINA...HOW THE HELL ARE YOU?!?! I WAS JUST THINKING I HADN'T SEEN YOU AROUND MUCH!

MGL..I MISSED THE UPDATE. ARE YOU RENTING OR DID YOU DECIDE TO BUY?

WHY DO I USE SO MANY DAMN ELIPSES?

I HAVE THE STOMACH FLU OR SOMETHING LIKE IT.

ON SUNDAY I SPENT 16 HOURS IN TRANSIT. I DON'T WANT TO EVER LOOK AT MY LUGGAGE AGAIN. I WISH I COULD BURN IT.

"...YOU WILL LOOK LIKE SOMETHING THAT RECENTLY CRAWLED OUT OF A BOX CAR TO HUNT RATS TO MAKE A NEW COAT."

That, Divine_Wino, is my new favorite line.

HAPPY BELATED TO MR.G!

WHEN I TRANSFERRED MY CA LICENSE THE WHINY JERK BEHIND THE COUNTER WANTED TO KNOW WHY I LEFT HOLLYWOOD FOR NYC---THAT'S NORTH HOLLYWOOD SWEETNESS, AND NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS! CONSEQUENTLY, MY PICTURE LOOKS LIKE SHIT! THE INSURANCE DID COME THROUGH, BUT THE JUNK REMOVERS HAVEN'T GOTTEN BACK TO ME--I THINK IT WAS THE SAME PLACE HJ RECOMMENDED. BECAUSE OF THIS THE KITCHEN WORK WILL BE DELAYED.

THE DOORMAN TOLD ME TWO NIGHTS AGO THAT THE CITY ELECTRIC INSPECTOR WOULD BE THERE YESTERDAY MORNING--I NEED WAY MORE ADVANCE NOTICE THAN THIS AND I COULDN'T LET THEM IN BECAUSE I WAS GETTING THE FLOORS DONE. THIS KID HAS LEFT THE FRONT DOOR OPEN WAY TOO OFTEN LATE AT NIGHT, BUT ANOTHER GUY DID THIS TOO LAST NIGHT--I FELT MUCH SAFER IN THE PLACES WHERE I COULD LET MYSELF IN WITH MY OWN KEY.

WHY AREN'T SIZES STANDARD? MY SHOE SIZE RUNS ALL THE WAY FROM 8 1/2 WIDE TO 10.
