Mom let her out to go to the bathroom this morning and she didnt come back when she called so she went out to look for her and she was just lying in the snow dead. It must of been a heart attack or brain aneurysm, at least she died a quick painless death.

I got Parapa The Rappa for the psp in the mail today been playing it to take my mind off of this, this game has actually cheered me up a bit.
I know how you feel, my dog Chewie's death was completely unexpected. Even though he had been in the vet for a week because of some bloody looking spots on his belly, they told us he was almost definitely going to be fine.

Well that sucks. At least you let a bunch out so you're not bottling everything up and snapping at people.

Know how you feel too. I'm a big animal lover and losing pets always hits like a fucking truck. I often wonder "why do I keep putting myself through this?", but in the end the happiness they provide, and the knowing you gave them a good life, makes the whole experience worth it.

PaRappa the Rapper rocks. I love that game. I need to play the second one.

Laughing out loud:

Facebook is serious business people. So serious it's hilarious.

I unfriended Douchey-McGee as soon as he left my house, and I got this message from him in my inbox:

"Looks like you also deleted you fb page. Seems to be the trend...

Oh. Never mind. Apparently you're just a d**k.

Thanks for not even talking to me about it...Good luck".

I like to think that after he pressed send he slammed his laptop closed, stomped up the stairs to his bedroom and cried in his pillow for a bit.

I mean, really? He already has 1k+ pretend friends on fb. Is there some achievement to unlock?

I just deleted my own fb a couple of days ago. I never, ever used it so I didn't see any reason to keep it around.

My mom's always telling me about the drama she's involved in on there, usually family related...

I still have my page, just took out some of the garbage. FB is a great way for me to keep up with close friends that don't live close near by, that's it. I don't "like Wal-Mart" and that nonsense.

Smile/Frown: Sister in law is having her surgery today, which is good. Hopefully she'll be out of pain for the rest of her life. I just hope she's ok. I'm quite fond of her.


Frown/Angry: Her surgery will cost upwards of $18k. Her insurance will only cover 3000 dollars. What the fuck. I don't know anything about fundraising.

Whew! I thought you were in trouble there for a moment, but good thing that'll roll right off your back.

Quack.

Frown: Not entitled to any benefits whilst I search for a job, have no job, have no money, council tax bill came through and I have to pay out £1000 this month from my bank account which contains 14p.

Smile: Well, I suppose I don't have to worry about any of my dental fees for a while, I certainly can't afford to have anything done right now :roll:
