QUOTE (denizen @ 29 September 2014 - 12:00 AM) | Hi Jedi!
Nope, still looking.
Yea, thanks for that. I am still in two minds about it. Mostly because if it fails me, parts might be hard to source. And pricey too!
Looking at getting a Volkswagen again. Had a Polo Sedan. Maybe get another? At least the gas on that was good. Parts cheaper and quite reliable.
What kind of temp work do you do? (If I may ask)
Moving?! Again?! Sheesh! Where to? |
Right now I'm doing office work... organizing (because I have serious OCD about things being in order), filing, coding tickets and data entry. My teller experience came in handy in that one. XD My apartment is currently a wreck right now though... normally it's spotless. If things continue to work out, I may be moving to Pennsylvania. I have other family there, and my Dad is hopefully moving there next year (it's his home state). It also helps that I actually have a friend in PA as well. But until I know for sure when and if my Dad is moving will depend on when and if I move. Right now, I'm just waiting to hear news from him. *keeps fingers crossed* >_<

QUOTE (Fellow Traveler @ 26 September 2014 - 09:19 PM) | manufacturers have got different vans of various sizes to choose from, not just the typical American "A-Team"-style van. I never understood why people living in cities need SUVs or Jeeps of any kind. Sure, they argue that you can see much better from the elevated seating position, but come on: almost every other car is a SUV, so that advantage isn't really there any longer. Considering their economic specs of the real big ones (Porsche, BMW, VW, Audi - oops, all German....), these things are a disaster and I'm not even thinking about all the carbon dioxide they produce. |
The US also has minivans. Those were all the popular choice before the trendy thing became SUVs. Why do they buy SUVs for the most part? Because everyone one else is and they have to copy. In short, because they are dumb and can't think for themself. Actually the SUV thing is passing and on the way out, but stay turn for the next brainless trend. Yes, there's little point in owning one in the city. I've known people that never even used four wheel drive during the entire time they own one. I have a minivan at the moment, I like being able to haul things, and keep what I'm hauling out of the weather. All of my dream cars would be custom built by me, there is no factory car I have the slightest interest in. My dream Jeep-type vehicle would be a 1967 Chevy pickup. I've been in love with that truck since forever, almost bought one once.

Well thanks guys. I guess I'm more conscientious now after learning about other factors going on. I started researching why I get left and right confused all the time, which turned into uncovering info about a lot of other quirks I was aware of, but never realized were interconnected. Examples of the other issues, I have to write down almost everything people tell me or I will forget it, I mean like seconds after they've said it. For that matter I have to write notes to myself all the time. I have extreme difficulty with numbers, like today it took me three tries to dial a phone number even though I'm looking right at it on a screen. I get all the numbers mixed up. I have memory problems in general and it's lead to some embarrassing moments, like being on a date and suddenly forgetting where we're driving, or the topic of the conversation just vanishing from my mind in mid sentence, leaving me sitting there silent, searching for what we were just talking about. I try to be upfront about it so they don't just think I'm bonkers when it happens, some have been understanding, others not. I'm going to have testing done and see if my condition has a name, although I'm already reasonably sure there is no treatment or cure. It's not an intelligence thing, I can carry high level conversations with very smart people, it's something else entirely. Nevertheless, I was pretty bummed out for several days after researching it.

lol denizen I'm so happy to hear someone else has these days also you'd think making coffee for example is quite an easy task. Well I could write a book about how many ways I've make it wrong Forget to add the water, forget to add the ground coffee, forget to turn the coffeemaker on, forget to put a plug in, forget to put the pan back and found all the coffee from the floor, add milk instead of water, add cocoa instead of coffee, add orange juice to your coffee when you think it's milk, add milk to your coke when you think it's coffee, take ground coffee to laundry room when you think it's laundry detergent, put a washed coffee pan to fridge and food to the dish draining closet.... It's actually quite funny when you can never tell what you're going to find from where. Keeps life interesting Wheeljack don't worry about being a bit distracted sometimes. We all are and it's nothing serious

Ouch! How did the clothes turn out? Let's hope you discovered the mix-up before you put on the washing machine! About the language: Here in Norway TV shows have subtitles. My guess is that Swedish TV has subtitles as well. You can ask Mol member Kangelane. Swedish differs a lot from Finnsih. However, if you know how to speak Chinese it shouldn't be too hard to learn. @Wheeljack: It's like the others say, we all get confused sometimes. Getting left and right mixed up is perfectly normal. I like to go line dancing and even the instructors make left/right mistakes. It happens all the time. I, for example, have some trouble to orientate. When I go to new places, I have to pay extra attention to the surroundings or else I get lost. I come from a smallish town so you can imagine what it was like when I moved to the city to study. I thought I would never be able to go outside without a streetmap. Worrying makes everything worse. Lol! I just realized I spelled Finnish as Finnsih This post has been edited by MDBfan on 3 October 2014 - 04:04 AM

I appreciate all the nice words. It's a little more than simply stress, though. I can handle stress better than most folks (and have sense enough to walk away when it's too much), and I don't worry much about what others think of me, so it isn't that either. I am just myself at all times, I don't even know how not to be, being fake or pretending to put on charm and phony smiles isn't something I can do.
Usually I don't get mixed up with cooking or projects I'm working on. I have put a box of cereal in the fridge once, but that's about as crazy as it's gotten. I am under more stress lately, that much is true. I left my house back in the spring and have been staying with others for temporary until I can buy my own place (hopefully SOON!!!) and it's not easy for me to be in hectic environments, the noise and being around others constantly after being use to living alone.

QUOTE (tvero @ 4 October 2014 - 01:10 PM) | Very strange story Joe!!! Sorry to disappoint you but I have nothing to say about fridges ( ) or absent-mindedness connected with fridges (nothing odd found there as far as I remember). As for my English ,if you understand my messages it's great ,French people aren't reputed for their language skills. |
Actually, I thought English was your first language. Did you learn it (English) at home or at school? As for memory, remember the Fawlty Towers episode where Basil gets so stressed out that he momentarily forgets his own name? It can happen! So, I think that keeping on an even keel is important and also a good diet with lots of fruits, veggies and water. After all the brain is 70% water and it needs to be running and all cylinders or it will lose sharpness in certain areas.
The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man's determination.
Whether you think you can or you can't .... you're probably right!
