Chat Thread: Chopsticks and teacups

[IH_Zero]

I'm seeing a psychiatrist today, about getting on ADHD meds. And possibly antidepressants, and anti-anxiety meds. Don't have to pay a dime for any of it, and hopefully it all goes well and helps me out.

Especially the anti-anxiety meds. I haven't driven regularly in a few years, aside from about a mile away, either to the grocery store or the kid's school, due to my panic attacks. Being able to drive a fair distance will be a big help in trying to get a job.

have to wait until 1 to get my hairs cut. They didn't have enough people at the school to accommodate both my friend and myself.

I need to go get my hair cut, too. I'm waiting for Great Cuts to send out some coupons, though.

My hair is getting close to mid-back length, which is entirely too long for me. I generally keep it about as long as my upper jaw (where the jaw connects to the rest of the skull).

I probably need to get my hair cut and styled a little...according to my grandma.

But my parents come home today from Las Vegas and my grandma goes back home to Chicago tomorrow. And I'm off till Friday. Yay! :3

My idea of styling my hair is having them lop most of it off, and giving it a good brush in the morning. xd

lol. My grandma doesn't like how my hair is long and is usually in my face. She's really old-fashioned. She thinks I need to curl it with the curling iron...but my hair is straight is a board and can't be curled. Besides I like it straight. :3

My hair is the same way. Which is why I go for decent cuts instead. Cause styling isn't really going to work.

So right now, I'm hanging out at the Honda Dealership with my friend while she gets new keys.

I have really wavy, floofy hair naturally. Curling it is an exercise in hilarity. It turns into one of those big, poofy 80s hairstyles that all the ladies wore back then. Doesn't even need curling, really. Slightest hint of humidity, and my hair goes *POOF*.

One of the reasons I keep it cropped pretty short.

That's how my mom and my grandma's hair is. My grandma's hair is short and bushy and my mom is sporting the Farrah Fawcett hairdo still. xD

My dad says I have the Janis Joplin hairdo especially when it gets longer...o.o

But like I said, I like my hair being long and straight. Mainly because I'm low maintenance. I don't like spending hours messing with my hair, it's a b***h to brush in the morning usually...=.=

If there ever is a meet-up in Chicago I'll make sure he checks all local laws prior to the trip. Are pocket knives illegal? I've got a 2.5" that I carry everywhere.

Under IL law, I think you're allowed to carry a pocket knife, so long as you have a reasonable excuse (going camping for example), however, if you have the intention of using it against somebody, even if the need should arise, its considered a weapon and can be taken by the police.

So basically... you can carry a knife, but not for self-defense. At least I think thats what my Criminal Law teacher said.

Should we do a long-term gathering though, I'll probably be staying at a hotel. No offense to anyone, but my gf is also interested in coming, and would then be bringing our son if she does. I dont think anyone else wants a crying toddler in the middle of the night 3nodding

In other news: my air conditioner was broken for a few days, but is now fixed. The problem? Some mice got into the unit and built a nest. Then a snake got to the nest and ate the mice. Then something shorted the thing out and the unit kicked off, and the snake got killed somewhere in the middle of all this.

Hmm, well my knife is used primarily as a tool, but I would have no problem using it as a weapon if my life was truly threaghtened. It's more of a last resort.

If we did a long term gathering we'd get a hotel as well. I think with my husband it would make everyone involved (including him) more at ease.

Sorry about your AC. So was the snake still in there?  

[Tirissana]

If I were going back for a long time gathering I could either stay with my grandparents or stay at a hotel. I'd prolly stay at a hotel becuase my grandparents can get very annoying at times.

Yup. We basically paid for a nest and dead snake removal.

Not the first time stuff like this has happened. Living on the border of a savannah does that. The last crazy thing that happened is my dog almost killed a muskrat. My dad tried to move it out of the yard, and nearly lost his finger.

I would have let the dog kill the muskrat. My farm dogs Bingo (RIP buddy) and Flip killed a lot of groundhogs, possums, rats, raccoons and 1 skunk over the years. The previous pair Muppet and her son George were excellet at catching groundhogs. Once they killed them we'd toss them on a spit and cook them up for the dogs. Still do when Flip mannages to kill something. The barn cats also used to leave piles of dead rodents, birds and amphibians by the main door of the barn. Nothing like coming in at 5:30 in the morning, flipping on the light and finding a pile of corpses stare

One of my parents' cats, Chessie, once left bird feet on the front door mat. Nothing else. Just the feet. We can only assume she ate the rest, and went, "Oh, right. I should probably give those people who give me chicken a present."

ETA: Thought I should throw in the completely dorkiness of my parents' naming skills of their pets. When they got a third cat (the second they got was previously named), they named him Peake. Chessie and Peake. Where do they live? Chesapeake.
