Pretty much have lost all real/meaningful contact with a friend I've had since Highschool. I took an internet break a while back and she seemingly took it the wrong way, despite having my personal number and address if she wanted to come check in on me.
I tried to get in contact with her once I was feeling better and she's given me the cold shoulder and nearly all one word replies/shows no interest in holding conversation even though I've tried several times.
Our friendship for 12-13 years has always been strictly platonic, but I've always suspected she's had some sort of feelings for me passed that. I love her, but as a sister figure, and someone I could be honest with and talk to. She's always been good company and a good conversation have-r but she's pretty much done with me at this point, and that sucks because it's ending without proper explanation.

There's a girl who recently enrolled in a local high school here after being home schooled for years. The school had to put a litter box in a designated bathroom because "she identifies as a cat". Reasons like this is why I can't stand parts of humanity. Is this true? I know the Republican party once upon a time ran with myth & made it a talking point as if it actually happened. Genuinely curious as my parents spouted this nonsense until I asked them for the proof & what do you know, nothing. To my knowledge, this does not happen. www.nbcnews.com/tech/misinformation/urban-myth-litter-boxes-schools-became-gop-talking-point-rcna51439

Definitely call your local Animal Control & tell them what is going on. They might be able to help you. Most counties/towns enforce leash laws or fencing if you have a dog.

Just got off the phone with them said they would be out Monday just trying to keep my cool about it unless he actually attempts to attack my wife instead of just barking.

I'll ask my nephew about it & let you know. Here's what I found out. I had the information wrong. There was a girl in a high school near where I live who would wear cat ears & a collar. This started the rumor that she uses a litter box & that there was one in the restroom for her. Totally untrue. But there was a fad of people wearing fox/wolf tails that the school quickly put a stop to. My apologies for posting something that turned out to be false. I should have looked into the matter before I posted it.

Realized I may have to cut a close friend out of my life due to them falling in with a bad crowd. The friend with the MOC LJN Warrior? Get the fig first before cutting him off!

I lost my beloved oldest dog of 14 years in September. I had her from third grade to weeks before my 23rd birthday.
I’ve handled it very well I think. Mainly I think other life and work stress got in the mourning way. But I still get down or miss her and it’s been very eventful few months for me.
I started a job as Prisoner Transport Unit for my states biggest PD. I brought experience as Correction Officer/doing transports as well and doing Retail Security.
Took massive pay hit coming there that was temporary which I was misled to temporary being 1.5 year., lost $1,000 getting gear required, I was treated as if I was less than him and disrespected to the point of supervisor getting personal with me. Didn’t want red carpet but was hoping for some respect and to learn new skills and bring some of mine to the table and work hard.
I finally left and god blessed me with a much higher paying job at the prison as Classification officer. 8-5 and more desk work and speciality spot equivalent to a Sgt. It’s more 80% case management almost like Probation Officer within the prison. At 23 I’m past being in the thick of it with crazy hours and overtime and chaos. But I don’t feel ready to be totally behind desk either. But it’s transition role people use to go to probation parole or go back into custody as Sgts or lieutenants.
I also still am in the running for an actual probation officer spot. So it’s new adventure for me and that’s exciting and nerve wracking

He's suffering from COVID related heart failure. He's gonna die before I get sick enough of him to cut him off. This is a whole other friend who, oh, what do you know, they cut me off first. So yay. Love it when a friendship falls apart. (/sarcasm)

My dad died 3 weeks ago. And it was so random and outta the blue. It's almost like it hasn't set in that's he's not here.
I don't really know why I'm even posting about it here. Most of the ppl I work with don't even know. They've just assumed I took a vacation. Which is fine, considering I don't need people feeling sorry for me. I'll probably never meet any of you, and the ones I do wanna meet, it'll never happen anytime soon, unfortunately. But if talking about it to a bunch of strangers on a toy forum helps me keep my sanity, so be it.
I've never been a fan of Christmas. I don't hate it, it's just another day to me. But I'm not gonna pretend that I'm not starting to get bummed out that he won't be here.
One minute I'll be okay, and the next I'm angry, sad, and shocked.
I don't see eye to eye with the lot of you. And quite honestly, I could do without most of you. And I know the feeling is mutual. Having said that, you are all still people and we are all here because we share a mutual interest in toys and shooting the sht. But if there's anyone out there you care about and you don't talk to them as often as you think you should, hit em up. You'll never know when you'll get a call one day that they're gone.

I am so sorry for your loss. That sucks dude. And I've been thinking about this a lot lately on my end. People joke about the friend with the warrior figure but he IS real and I DO care about him. And I know he's not going to be here much longer. So I see stuff like this and I realize that, no, I didn't need to paint that figure tonight, I needed to be talking to him instead. I wonder if he's still awake... Anyway, sorry again for your loss. That's really rough. Especially right before the holidays. My deepest condolences.

Had the electricians do work in my attic. Then I had to go to the dentist to have a temporary crown put on. Looks like about a $3,000 day.

Saw a mangled black bear on the highway coming into work this morning. Saw one coming home from work as well. Wondering if they were from the same family.

I’m sorry for your loss brother. I definitely been working harder at valuing those around me and not fretting over bs. I wish you the best for your situation. You’re doing good and don’t let anyone make your emotions insignificant. I haven’t lost a patent but I lost my older brother; it’s hard.
