The Imitation Lounge - Part 122

[Spider-Aziz]

Hola.

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

We got off early because we got hacked at work today. This guy called and I happened to get him and he was saying he was with our line provider's provider but was being all sketchy. He did shut down our dialer though. He was probably a pissed off customer that forgot to cancel his programs.

On a brighter note I got my Marvel Collector Corps box today and it is awesome! I posted a pic of everything that came with it in the MCC thread

 

[KevanG]

Well that's a new reason for work being canceled.

 

[Reek]

This second part can't be emphasized enough. You guys really are the worst at it. It's like watching Carrot Top and Pauly Shore go at it.

Now I want some cheddar whizzy.

Senty as Pauly Shore = Hype casting award for life.

So angry with my mom right now. She refuses to lock the doors at night and I had even caught someone trying to get in through the back door while she was away on vacation, most likely thinking there was no one there. She's acting so stupid thinking that her dogs and God are going to protect her from a hardened criminal with drugs and alcohol flowing through their veins. She's even been friendly with a former neighbor who was a pill popper and dealer. A mile down is a jail too so our part of town is like convict alley. She won't listen to me when I tell her we have to be more aware of things, like locking those doors and getting locks for all the bedroom doors. After 4 years she's finally put batteries in the smoke alarm in the kitchen after several close calls with leaving burners on unattended. I seriously told her that when someone busts into the house I hope I'm long gone and told her not to come crying to me when it happens.

Yea, your mom definitely forgot you existed and were capable of doing these things.

In all the time I've lived in this house I have reminded her about the smoke detectors and turning off the burners. It was a little hairy in the beginning with the old electric oven and the exposed coils. I'd walk into the kitchen to see a burner on high heat and not turned off, or a pan smoking and almost in flames. But since getting the new range that turns off if you lift the pan off the burner you'd think that's not an issue, but you'd be incorrect. She was boiling milk for mashed potatoes a few weeks ago and forgot it was boiling when she went to check on her computer for emails. I walk down the stairs to see smoke billowing from the kitchen. I'm yelling my mom's name to get her in the kitchen as I'm heading there to turn off the burner. The milk was boiling so much it was spilling over the pot onto the range which is all glass and burning. I swear this woman is the major root for my stress, but if I wasn't here she'd have burned the house down a long time ago. If things keep heading in the direction they're heading in she will need to be put in a managed care facility, I can just see it in the future. She is 72 and there is dementia in the family lineage. Her mind is definitely not on what she's doing sometimes.

 

[Greens]

Isn't a jail in the area a good thing?

 

[Godzilla2000]

Isn't a jail in the area a good thing?

Not when they let the convicts out. These are career criminals we're talking about. Heck, they busted a few Meth Labs down my street a few months ago.

Anyways, was just thinking the one thing that bothers me the most is how trusting my mom is. She is too trusting of people, especially if they know how to talk like Christians. Seriously, the scumbags she has been associating with talk real nice like they're devout Christians but they are anything but. They just like to deceive like that, play the role of devout believers, but their anything but Godly. They'll use their honeyed words to get to me. I want to tell my mother that they are religious charlatans but she won't have it. I'll tell you the guy I'm dating will be someone she will really hate because he won't be a flowery speeched false charmer.

But oh, I believe in Christian values but my mom is the type of passive Christian who just sits back and lets awful things happen without doing anything always talking about the End Times. Any crisis that happens she get on her knees and pray instead of doing something. I know that in the Bible it says that if you pray God will assist but it also states that it's a sin to just let things happen when you can. I really hate the excuse that Christians make to excuse the lousy behavior of the world, that it's the End Times. I swear she acts like Carrie's mother sometimes.

Oh, and the reason why my mom will hate the guys I date will be because I am going to find ones that will support me and be on my side. My mom hates that, when people actually defend me and agree with me. But you know, this is my love life, not hers. She can go for the fancy sweet talking rakes. I'm going for the more genuine guys that she seems to hate.

...did dementia prevent YOU from taking care of the smoke detector instead of a 72 year old getting on a step stool?

if so, i'm totally with you.

Here's the deal, my dad disassembled them a long time ago and took the batteries out. He also lost the protective plates too, which we found one today. The issue was with getting my mom motivated to find all the necessary parts to the smoke detectors that my dad had stored, which she did. You do know that it's pretty hard to ask my deceased dad where he put the smoke detector parts.

 

[C. Lee]

New smoke detectors start at less than $10....and in many areas the local fire department will give some away for free.

 

[Reek]

But someone has to be motivated to assemble those smoke detectors. its a pretty complicated process involving double A batteries. I wont get into specifics, but clear your schedule.

My sweet summer child who is older than me, what do you know of motivation? Seems like you should take some initiative.

 

[Schlosser85]

Instead of blaming everyone except yourself, including your mother, for every problem in your life, how about you drive to the nearest general retail store, spend $10 on a smoke detector, and set it up yourself?

 

[Reek]

so the Flash was pretty awesome

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

About time the site came back up!

 

[KevanG]

I hope no one cried too much that it was down for so long.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I had Trigun occupying me.

Hi again Hype.

 

[DarkSentinel]

I blame the ComingSoon forums.

 

[Fallen Angel]

I blame global warming.

 

[Lily Adler]

So a new Dragonball series is coming and no one has gone cray-cray about it yet?

 

[KevanG]

We're talking about it in the DB tv thread.

I'm going cray-cray right now.

I keep forgetting the existence of that place...

When a criminal is released, they don't hang around outside the jail until they're caught again. Give them SOME credit.
