giving blood sucks, i got to get my blood drawn every couple of months for my thyroid.

It doesn't bother me too much, but the nurse yanked the tape off and left a nasty mark on my arm.

it seems when i go i always get a new person and they stick me 2-3 times till they get it right. also my arm bruises pretty easy so i always look like a junkie for a few days after giving blood.

My car failed its MOT pretty badly.


There are two forms - one for complete failures and one for advisories, which should be fixed but won't fail the test.

It had 14 points which it failed on, and two advisories.  The main thing is the front seat belt mounting points are rusted, something I didn't notice when I went to look at the car. I've spoken to someone almost local from another forum who said they could do some welding for a lot less than the £470+ tax the garage quoted. But that depends on how serious they are about it. Parts are going to cost about £100.

The rest of it should hopefully be a simple replacement parts job.

wow that sucks, hopefully the welding guy you been talking to comes thru and you can get the job done alot cheaper then the garage wants to charge. also make sure the welding guy does quality work. good luck in getting the mini road ready.

@ James

Do you have any skill centers or trade schools around? I've had luck finding a high school skill center that'll do welding for free or really cheap. I bet you could find something similar.

My internal clock is still disabled. Staying up till 7am and sleeping till 5pm...I need to force myself to stay up some night so I can collapse at the proper time.

Today, we were going down a street near my friends house in like the woods and it's completely flooded.  me and my friends were saying that if it keeps flooding this much for a long time, in 10 years from now alligators would come to WI.  How bad-ass would that be?

They couldn't survive the winter.

[two_scoop_steve]

i can't sleep.

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

I slept from 9pm to 2am...the hell?

I am bored shitless and I don't want to go outside and do yard work, but must. If I stay on the computer working on the database any longer today after yesterday (7 hrs), my back will murder me. I need proper posture/ergonomic help.

We had a little family "fishing derby" yesterday at a little farm pond and had an ambulance and fire trucks there within an hour.
