William Brand Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 Did you ever have one of those days? You're spouse comes home with the news that the company they work for picked them dead last for company raises even though they do most of the work. Then...this horrible smell starts to eek up through the floorboards and you find that your basement has flooded with raw sewege. Money you didn't have disappears into the hands of plumbers and city officials. And on top of all that, your mother-in-law chooses this day of all days to tell you how she feels about you and it isn't a good, huggy conversation. It's more of a seventh seal and end of the world conversation filled with revelations about her opinion of your failings. I...had...a...very...bad...day.
Silkie McDonough Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 William, this sounds like it should have been posted in "The Island of Dark Waters" ...um , happy to say ...no, not since the entire year of 1992. Gawd will, hope tomorrow is better for you. Feel better ...when you can.
blackjohn Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 Yep, once or twice or a thousand times. Dude, I feel your pain. And nothin' numbs pain better than good old rum! Except talking to you friends on the internet. There are only two things I can tell you. One, things will get better. Two, things will get worse. It's a never ending cycle, and all a matter of perspective. Remember the taoist story of the farmer and the horse... My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
Rummy3 Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 The best thing I can share is this glorious, new day! A friend once told me these words to live by: " it can only get better~"
Dorian Lasseter Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 Aye William... One o' them days, eh? It happens ta th' best o' us, an' th' worst o' us... Yer in goode company, we feel yer pain an' know ye be a goode man... I shall now quote the immortal words of Monty Python......... Always Look on the Bright Side of Life Some things in life are bad, They can really make you mad, Other things just make you swear and curse. When you're chewing on life's gristle Don't grumble, give a whistle. And this'll help things turn out for the best. And.... Always look on the bright side of life, (whistle) Always look on the bright side of life, (whistle) If life seems jolly rotten, There's something you've forgotten, And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing. When you're feeling in the dumps, Don't be silly chumps. Just purse your lips and whistle, that's the thing. And... Always look on the bright side of life. (whistle) Come on... Always look on the bright side of life... For life is quite absurd, And death's the final word, You must always face the curtain with a bow. Forget about your sin, Give the audience a grin, Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow. So always look on the bright side of death, Just before you draw your terminal breath, Life's a piece of shit, When you look at it, Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true. You'll see it's all a show, Keep 'em laughing as you go. Just remember that the last laugh is on you. And always look on the bright side of life, Always look on the right side of life, Come on guys, cheer up. Always look on the bright side of life. Worse things happen at sea, you know. Always look on the bright side of life. I mean - what have you got to lose? You know, you come from nothing, you're going back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing! Truly, D. Lasseter Captain, The Lucy Propria Virtute Audax --- In Hoc Signo Vinces Ni Feidir An Dubh A Chur Ina Bhan Air "If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me." Deuteronomy 32:41 Envy and its evil twin - It crept in bed with slander - Idiots they gave advice - But Sloth it gave no answer - Anger kills the human soul - With butter tales of Lust - While Pavlov's Dogs keep chewin' - On the legs they never trust...

Christine Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 wow, that really sucks William! *hugs* Hopefully today will be better!

Touch somebody you don't know today with a smile.
William Brand Posted April 21, 2006 Author Posted April 21, 2006 Well...I lost the majority of my clothes in the laundry room, including some pirate stuff. The house smells funny. But we still have each other.
