Oh the Horror! Another Explode Episode!

[AndriaD]

Neither would I. When we go to the store I have to hold her to keep her steady
until we get to a shopping cart she can hold on to.
"You're no fun you fall right over" I say but...I know it's no fun for her.

I think Andria just needs to drink more coconut water.
Low potassium will give you that "positional vertigo"

I'm pretty good on potassium most of the time now, since I started with the coconut water -- I should have been drinking that stuff for the last 20 yrs! And I haven't had one of those dizzy spells in a LONG time, so maybe the coconut water is why. I sure don't get the godawful leg cramps constantly, as I used to; only now and then, and drinking a glass of coconut water usually gets rid of them PRONTO. Of course the hot flashes aren't as bad as they used to be either, so it could also be that less sweating (and crying, now that menopause is well established!) isn't depleting my potassium so much.

Oh yeah, I forgot you're doing the menopause thing..I don't wish that on anybody either.
I neglected to dink my coco juice for about a week recently and wouldn't you know it?
My legs reminded me to put some in the fridge when the super bad cramp in my right leg woke me up rudely.

It's not like I don't have 6 cases of VitaCoco in the pantry, I do.
I'm just too lazy to put some in the fridge.

Menopause will be over soon.
Then you gotta watch out for the new mustache...
remember, estrogen can cause cancer so get used to the 'stache (or Nair or No-no)

Yeah, I won't be taking any estrogen -- I quit smoking to lower my risk of cancer, seems stupid to start a whole new risk.

I've never been prone to the upper-lip hair, not really dark enough (though my mom has suffered the monthly Nair pretty much her whole life -- she's a TRUE brunette, coal-black hair, before she started dyeing it). But I find more and more of those annoying chin-whiskers, arghh. A couple of them have already turned white; not sure if it's just my age, or that I've plucked them so much and damaged the follicle.

Peri-menopause (the 5-10 yrs prior) absolutely sucked ROCKS. But since the real thing got started, in 2009, I've found one reason right after another to be DELIGHTED with it! It's the primary payoff of getting older!

I am having a very hard time actually believing this. No way, no how would I put up with an adult acting like a spoiled rotten child. I would be out the door never to step foot back into it. I am just an old lady that believes in treating others the way I want to be treated.

If it's hard to believe then consider yourself lucky. Some people don't grow up until their 30's, and some people are just effing nuts in ways most of us couldn't understand. To confuse matters more it seems like the really unstable people are always the most aggressively friendly/charming/seductive at first because they're trying to make up for how insecure they really are.

 

[USMCotaku]

I'm occasionally afflicted with "positional vertigo"... just sitting here at the desk, and all of a sudden I'm like "Woah, DUDE!" I swear it's like I just consumed a 12pack, and I haven't had a drink in 23 yrs!

Andria

I grabbed a cigarette out of someone's hand...as they were trying to light it, in MY house....AFTER I told him in no uncertain terms it was unacceptable.

[Bad Ninja]

Well y'know... it's ONE thing to throw your own stuff... like the glassware and mugs I used to chunk when angry. It's a whole 'nuther ballgame to throw OTHER PEOPLE'S stuff!!!

Andria

No it isn't.
Don't take this the wrong way.
Throwing things in anger is a temper tantrum.
It's embarrassing to see adults act like toddlers.
You know better.
Would you really be okay with your child throwing things in anger?

Yes, in that case, it's perfectly acceptable. I meant those busybodies who do it when you're "out in the world" -- but smoking has NEVER been acceptable in this particular house, nor in any house or abode I've occupied since 1997. But in the scenario you describe, right after removing the cigarette, I would remove the offending person.

No -- my child is 27 yrs old! But I still think it's different, to throw your own stuff, which you have to replace, vs. throwing someone else's stuff, which THEY have to replace -- basically it's not just a tantrum in that case, but theft.

He was removed [emoji14]
He was one of the sober living tenants...he was evicted that night (wasn't his first rule violation, he played loose with the rules from day one, that was the straw that broke the camels back).

Still not sure I'm conveying what I mean. Yes, it's absolutely childish to throw things when you're angry, but anger does that, it turns us into cavemen, the old lizard brain in charge. But when you throw someone else's stuff... then it's also criminal, if it wasn't already by virtue of perhaps being assault -- if the item was thrown AT someone. Mine never were; I threw things against the wall -- because I'm not a man, I can't PUNCH walls, I'd break my hand or arm. I still might do that, given sufficient rage, but now I throw PILLOWS, not breakables. But it becomes wanton destruction of someone else's property. Doing it to your own stuff = stupid. Doing it to someone else's, and you could be arrested, depending on the value of the smashed item, for either petty or grand larceny, or perhaps vandalism.

Andria,
I'm an adult.
There is no excuse you will ever make that will justify throwing things in a fit of anger.
It's extremely childish, and shows a serious lack of self control.
Adults know how to control themselves.
It's a behavioral problem.
Please seek anger management counseling.

Because it really seems that you didn't. I do not have any anger management issues, thank you so very much for your unsolicited opinion.

Seen it...it was terrible for all concerned. Never want to deal with a chick going through that again.
At least you can look forward to not having Henry's monthly visit.
But watch out for the hair on your chinny chin-chin. You can pluck but never shave.

Coconut water! Think I'll go have some.
Good night or good morning.

I've been enjoying that absence since 2009.

Unsolicited?
Your the one that put it out there on an Internet forum.
Your welcome so very much.

I didn't "grow up" until 30. Got married, had a child 2 years latter.. I became an instant adult.

I never grew up...

I just transposed my childhood into my children. I get to continue living it through them.

It w early morning and all was well.

The wife was bathing the baby, and I was topping off the KFv4 prior to my morning vapefast.

"Give me baby shampoo", the directive came.

I capitulated and went back to filling the tank.

"Give me towl", I stepped away, obeyed, continued.

"Give me hot water", the demand came loud and purposeful.

"Yeh okay, one minute" I replied, frustrated and trying to complete the job in hand, "Let me do this first".

"Always smoking" the accusation was an invitation to the fight, "water yes, no" the challenge.

"F-off an give me a minutes" the ill advised reply.

She crossed the room like a thing possessed. Grabbed up my beloved Vaper Flask an launched it across the room.

It cleared the living room and landed in a puddle on the bathroom floor!

Harsh words were exchanged, I went salvage what I could.

The half filled KFv4 flew over my head and shattered against the tiled wall.

The KFv4 is no more

I stripped out the batteries from the VF, shook off the excess water, observing the dents near the 510, the battery cap, and t scuff on the otherwise immaculate body [oh the horror!].

As I left the house, approximately 15 x 30ml bottles of shop bought and DIY juice shattered both before and behind my path.

I escaped with just the battered VF and a single 30ml of DIY juice.

My local vape store were great, if a little under stocked.

I came away with a Goblin Mini, they installed dual coils reading 0.5ohms, and despite my fear that 12mg would be too harsh in a dual coil configuration, it's vaping great at 22w with the airflow full open.

Flavour is much reduced when compared to the B-KFv4, but has great vapour production.

Licking my wounds over a beer, with only a Goblin Mini for company

Hope you all have a better weekend!

Caterpillar out.

You and me both, cheers bro.
Them bi(t)ches know nuffin!
