:D Don't care. If this is the reason why I've been depressed all these years, then I'm glad to finally get it off my chest. Sick of being this way...
Well if that's been a major issue, glad you've let it out so you can start de-stressing. As others have said, a few others on board who should be able to offer direct advice as well as more identifying support. But Obviously a great number of us have the attitude that if you feel it's right for you, then go for it.
:D Houston trip is in less than a month and Kit got a couple weeks of OT. Looks like we'll actually be able to hit up Trader's Village after all. I label myself a hermit, but it'll be nice to get out for a bit.
Cool, give a shout as I'll probably be game to go.

Thank you all for the support. I'm positive that this has been a major part of my depression, so it feels amazing to finally open up about it.

I'll PM you the dates we'll be in Houston, Hobie. If everything goes to plan, we should be able to make two trips to Trader's Village.

Seller issued me a full refund anyway. Still kind of bummed, because I would have preferred the book be in perfect shape for an amazing price vs. a bent up book for free, but can't complain too much. Glad I was able to find it at all.

Parents are having a huge fight. They are most likely getting a divorce.

I also have to do a project in my one night extension I got.

At least tomorrow I get to wear a banana suit to school.

Sorry about the parental problems. :(

That shouldn't be happening when you're around. Maybe, if fighting is the best they can do, a divorce would be a better situation. I know that isn't anyone's ideal, but it is a shitty part of reality sometimes. Good luck.

That sucks. Have they tried getting any counseling? An impartial mediator they can express grievances through that can filter and try to help work on compromises?

Milk the banana for all it's worth.

I'm pretty sure that'd get him suspended from school, at the very least.

Wait a second. My gerbil is about to break the wheel on this one.

So are you going to wear a banana costume, or do you actually have a suit that is banana themed/colored? If it is the latter, how "ripe" is the suit? Any green still on the suit, and bruising or black spots? And if you do have a yellow suit, please tell me you are wearing a bright blue tie with it to resemble the Chiquita sticker.

And did you know that the bananas you usually eat, of the cavendish variety, were once in danger of extinction? Not only that, but said variety of the banana family has been genetically modified for hundreds of years in order to ship them properly? AND! Did you know that bananas are actually classified as berries?

I got the 411 on the 4011.

That is a signature-worthy quote if I ever saw one.

It must have been package folding day and nobody warned us.

Thankfully my item was small and was fine in the middle, but it takes effort to mess up the small priority boxes.
