New Suxs Thread

[Kirahfaye]

My husband left for an out of town conference very, very early this morning. Sux for me because I don't like it when he's not here, of course. I don't sleep well, I miss him. Sux for him because he made his flight arrangements weeks ago so he could get in a day early and go to Sea World - only to have a storm hit Florida ....

I hate my neighbors. I don't usually hate people, far too much bother and bad karma to boot, but these specimen of human beings just keep crossing each and every line ever invented by mankind ... not only are their brats keeping the entire house awake 24/7, now they find it amusing to stage a loud discussion about how unemployed people are lazy old slobs who don't want to work right beneath my window. Like I hadn't been trying! I can't help the fact that German cities cut down on the cultural programme when they run out of money, killing jobs for people like me, and I can't help the fact I'm not accepted for simple (yet paying) jobs either because they don't employ people with college degrees as a rule, for fear of losing them to better jobs right away ... it's not that I wasn't applying for each and every job available, no matter how crappy. This isn't the '90s with plenty of jobs available for those who care to apply. It's driving me insane, I WANT a job, for f***s sake! Like I enjoy being stuck here all freaking day without a car and without money. Honestly, if it weren't for my dolls, I would have lost my mind already. At least I can sew and make things for them without having to spend a fortune I don't have on supplies. I can't wait for next month when I can hopefully at least start yet another post-grad training. I need something to DO. And I can't stand people who aren't even able to form a correct sentence in their native language calling me a sluggard behind my back.

My boyfriend and I are about to encounter more bills than we are prepared for. I think it's about time to sell my clarinet. I've been putting it off, cause I love my clarinet and I wasn't really ready to sell it, but realistically, i haven't touched it in a long time.... And the money would be useful

There are times when I just want to totally boycott the postal service. They make me so darned mad! I sent a MO to Cloaked Schemer for her RS doll and I made the huge mistake of not sending it Priority. It never got there and I ended up having to replace that one with money I really had not counted on spending from a second paycheck to make sure she got full payment for the doll. (Entirely worth it because I just love my Lucy and my Kelly head!) That first MO was apparently never cashed but so far the whole process of getting back my $$$ has been not been fun. I really don't understand why I have to wait so long when it's pretty obvious at this point that they dropped the ball and the darned thing has never been cashed. I really don't understand why in this day and age they can't even trace a letter! I mean if they can scan every letter that goes through the mail now for Homeland Security then why the heck can't they tell where my MO went?

Why oh why does my physical therapist insist I tighten up my leg muscles when she stretches me? And why am I supposed to tighten my back muscles when she is trying to pull my ankle to my ear? I have not been that limber for over 30 years! I HATE the sound my muscles/ligaments/tendons make when she does that. I can FEEL them tearing and after she is done, I am black and blue.

uuug, this doll's hair is so sticky, and I made a mess trying to sharpie dye it. I think I might have to throw in the towel and just reroot it.

There is no cooking spray in the world that will let anything release from this baking pan X< I bought it because it's coffins and thought it would be adorable for Xavier's birthday.



Not that we aren't eating the bits of brownie.

Not sure if this'll work but try greasing it with lard or shortening and flour. If I recall correctly that could help...But I'd double check. It's been awhile since I've seen that episode of Good Eats that I saw it used on.

[DollyKim]

We've already tried that. Regular greasing, grease and flour, spray grease. And it's a non stick pan. The best results we ever got were cake but parts of those stuck. There's a lip around the bottom edge that's always a problem with sticking.

McCall's has come out with a couple of patterns from TV's Once Upon A Time. One is this one which is Snow's riding outfit:

Why is this a suck? Because I'm shaped more like one of Regina's apples than like Snow White and I absolutely can't wear this outfit. Waaahhhh! (Yeah, minor, yet completely self-centered suck, but still, suckage.) They also have a similar one for Regina. Maybe someone else here can get and make this and rock it on Halloween.
