Things that are pissing you off. - Page 2569

Well, I never ran until after college, so my opportunities became sharply limited, even had I wanted to do that. Had I trained in my youth I might have done okay. It's just these last 5 years that I've lived near a HS track and had access.

ooh, I like maths too!

Well, I don't have the genetics thing working for me. Pretty much my entire family kicks off around 70, barring a few early check-outs. That leaves me just 29 more years. Plus, running shoes are cheaper than therapy.

"Both sides are assholes and need to get their heads knocked together until they start acting like responsible adults and sort their shit out"

That about sums up the whole situation for me.


OT: I want to fit in with all the other adult people with steady jobs here and whine about my job, but so far it's too much fun to bitch about.

This is why it pays to use something like mint and check it regularly.

Well fuck you, how about that?

Shopping online as much as I do, my CC # is stolen at least once a year. Lkcily I have USAA, who have phenomenal fraud control. I always hear from me within a few hours of an incident. It probably helps that the card usually turns up in some foreign city that I've never visited - one year it was used in Riyadh, another time someone bought a pricey dinner in Dublin Ireland.

It is strange. People shop a lot online, so many sales are done online, but I actually rarely shop online.

Details?

Bought a Danish dresser from Craigslist that had a glossy oil polyurethane finish. It's probably about thirty years old. I planned on refinishing it by chemically stripping the finish coat with steel wool, re-staining in a different color, and then sealing it with a satin polyurethane. I started today and noticed its going to be very difficult to remove the existing varnish with steel wool, because I suspect there are three coats of it on there. That leaves me with hand-sanding or power sanding, but the drawers have a veneer on top of solid wood, which risks sanding through. So I'll probably have to sand it by hand with a much finer grade paper that I'd want, which will take forever, and I'll have to do it outside in the cold over a couple days, bringing it back inside after each day. Otherwise it will get stolen. Once it's sanded, then it will probably need a coat of conditioner, two coats of stain, and then finishing sealer. We're talking a lot of work.

just couldn't go to fucking IKEA, could you?

someone done stole my photo!

...but they stole it for diabetes Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show) I'm not sure how to respond.

On one hand, I took these photos for people to see pictures of themselves racing and don't mind (and am happy) if someone puts up the photo as their profile or something, especially if they at least say where they got it.

On the other hand...they've modified the photo and turned it into an advertisement. It may be an advertisement for an insiprational team of diabetic athletes but it is still an advertisement and they didn't even bother to leave a photo credit. I suppose I could watermark everything, but this shot cropped out the part of the image where the water mark would have been anyways.

I don't want to shit up their facebook post complaining about not at least getting credit...but I feel like I should at least contact them privately and express my concerns right?
