Dttam:
My husbands a driller on an oil rig. That shits a dangerous job, he's responsible for five guys, and pretty much everything on the rig.lately on his rig there's been a lot of shit breaking and fucking up. It's not any fault of the guys, it's just a fucked up rig, and a site from hell.
One guys wife goes out there every shift. She's been on the floor while they're working, and that's a huge no-no. One wrong move and she could get a chain to the face or tongs to the gut. These guys are not exactly careful. Shes already fallen and busted her ass once and was told no more. Its not worth everyones job
This chick called earlier asking if she could go to the site again. Was told no. Begged and pleaded - still no is the answer. Was crying and hung up during my husband explaining they were going to be terribly busy tomorrow - one guy had pulled so much weight on the line the crown (top) was pulled in. People almost died.
This lady's like 45-50 years old! She goes out there because she's afraid to be alone. Wtf?
-1You have an iPhone?
How could you say something like that?
There are some things that you can't take back, you know!?
Oh shit! That's right. I kept thinking it was Tumblr or some shit, but it was Instagram that made the iSnobs come out in full force: http://articles.cnn.com/2012-04-05/t...ios?_s=PM:TECH
Oh, that article got me so pissed. Those fucking people...FUUUUUUUUUiPhone snobbery greets Instagram's Android app
April 05, 2012|By Doug Gross, CNN
Photo-sharing app Instagram is now available for Android phones. Some iPhone users aren't happy about this development.
Seriously, iPhone fans?
Just hours after Instagram, a mobile app that lets users layer pre-programmed filters over their photos to achieve maximum hipness, launched on Google's Android operating system Tuesday, the snark began.
Until then, the 18-month-old app had been exclusive to Apple devices.
"Instagram went from a gated community to section 8 all in 1 day," wrote Twitter user @joelby1328.
That widely shared message (surrounded by other gems such as "I'm smoking with a (expletive) newbie! She still has other people light her bowl for her!!!") was as good a representative as any of a surprising number of tweets suggesting, or downright saying, that Android phone users are in some way inferior to iPhone owners.
What do you mean by "those people"? *side-eye*

Speaking of phones... I have a DTTAM related phone issue (DTTAM because I had a phone picked out, then my friend confused me with more options.).
My Verizon contract is up, and I plan on restarting my contract. I need a new phone, as I dropped my trusty Droid in a tide pool on the beach and it now has sand in the speaker and can no longer make calls.
No Iphone, Because I need android for work, and just because Android is much more awesome in general. So... I am trying to decide between the Samsung Nexus and the Droid Razr/Droid 4. Anyone have either of these phones and have anything positive/negative to say about them?
Dttam: I watched Savages today and it was disappointing. But one of the guys was crazy hot!
I'll do whatever it takes to be the mistake you can't live without.
We've worked really hard to save up money so we can go hog wild at Wizard World Chicago (I'm a geek married to a geek). Things have been going really well. Until yesterday when my husband gets into a car accident. He's fine, the car is not. It's not totaled but it's going to be in the shop for awhile. We don't know how long just yet because this happened after 5pm so of course the body shop was closed. We still have the insurance stuff to deal with, like finding out if the body shop is on their list and if it's not getting them to tow it to a shop that is on their list. But here's what annoys me:
He's stopped at a light. Light goes green. The cars start to move. Suddenly there's an ambulance flipping a u-turn in the intersection, no lights, no siren. By the time my husband processed what he was seeing, he hit the back end of the car in front of him. The car he hit was an old school Lincoln. We drive a plastic Scion. So, yeah, we have damage. Mostly cosmetic, the car still drives, but the air bag deployed and it was leaking fluid. Anyway, the lady he hit was really nice and when the cop got there she said it was her fault, but the cop had to give my husband a ticket because he was the following car. The cop was also super nice and wrote the ticket for the cheapest infraction he could (following too close, which is exactly what my husband was doing). I think it's $114 and he doesn't have to go to court but he's going to because he wants to get the points (3) reduced if possible.
She has the same insurance as we do (Progressive) and there wasn't damage to her car. Her husband happened to be at a restaurant by the intersection and he also confirmed that this ambulance was flipping a U-y with no siren or lights. In other words, they don't seem like the type who are going to try and screw us in the end. Our deductible is 1000$ so hopefully that's all we're out (plus a rental, we don't have that coverage on our insurance and we only have one car).
It's just annoying because it's the first accident for either of us and we've been so geeked for our upcoming weekend. We're still going, but right now everything just feels sideways and sickly. It was such a strange situation. I know, it's white girl problems and this is why we have savings and insurance and all that. But I'm still annoyed.
Do you know what ambulance company made the U-Turn? You guys need to contact them and have the couple write a statement, too. I can't stand when LE/Fire/EMS do this kind of crap. It gives the rest of us a bad name. We are suppose to drive with due regard to person(s) and property. It doesn't sound like the ambulance company did that. There is no emergency worth making a U-Turn when it could cause harm to others, but it doesn't even sound like they were going to an emergency if their lights and sirens weren't on.
I hope it all works out for you!
You asked for it. I gave you what you wanted. Was it not good enough?i was called a whore.
Thanks. He didn't catch the company name and the ambulance was long gone when the cop arrived. It's just a weird incident. Really no one is to blame but someone had to get the ticket.Don't worry, I won't be hating on ambulances because of this!
I imagine they received a call and made the turn before flipping on their shit. Ever since the Sikh mass murders over the weekend, all emergency personnel have been more than a little jittery. It's not an excuse, but I can understand what they're all feeling.
DTTAM: blisters and 105 degree heat.
The word "dang" is so white trash. Youngest daughter will use it after she visits her mom once a month or so, but I swear to god that word makes me fucking rage. "Aww, that's so dang cute", "I am so dang hungry", "I told you three dang times"...
I've been telling her that "only stupid people use the word dang, and you are NOT stupid. I will not have that word in my house."
So now I have all these kids thinking that "dang" and "fuck" are pretty much the same.
I have seen the future and I'm fairly relieved to say, it looks nothing like me.
Dang woman...

DTTAM: Headaches and ADD. My brain feels like it's wrapped in gauze and getting punched repeatedly.
Also, I literally sit in awe of my co-worker's ability to concentrate and do the detail intensive tasks that we do in here for hours on end. I've started to notice how often I'm up and wandering around just to stay conscious on an average day and it's rather ridiculous. Unfortunately Adderall makes my appetite nonexistent and my insomnia come back in full force, so there really is no happy compromise.
I need a nap.
i forgot that i asked for drama too. my bad.
well, ok! but let's see what happens when i do...... this!
Haha. It kind of is! Never thought about it before.

I'm pissed that I don't speak Spanish fluently even though my mom is Nicaraguan. My dad raised me and grams forbade my mom to speak Spanish around me. :/ Trying to learn as an adult is sooo fucking frustrating.
Also DTTAM: pluralising mom when you really only mean one mom.

maybe gran would fit better? i know what you mean about the spanish thing though... my [dad's] indian dave's mom refused to teach him spanish because of the stigma against spanish speakers in the 50's/60's and even though he eventually learned, he never taught us. i'm taking spanish in college now and it's harder than i expected given that i've been speaking broken spanglish for the last 10 years with friends.
well, ok! but let's see what happens when i do...... this!
Gran sounds a bit too Oklahoma for me. Grams is just what I picked up as a child with Gramps. Moms is more of a new "style" of speaking vs. something you pick up as a child? It's just weird.
Yea, that's why my grams forbade the spanish.
Also, I like foodporn, but stopped posting pics because I know it's a FB no-no and I break enough rules with my doggy posts.
