Random Rant and venting thread for general or specific rage

I don't mind those. It's the damn squeezing the nurse does to get the blood out!

[Ayingel 24]

i've had nurses puncture valves in my hand (they still kinda hurt, actually) and i had a vein collapse...i know your pain

[Pandora 77]

It was for my last annual, because my mom's had some new health problems develop. She filled up this little vial but she squeezed so damn hard I thought for sure my finger would explode.

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

They do because there's more nerve endings in the fingers than anywhere else where they draw blood.

And JM, it could very well be that your veins are the same size or almost the same size of the needle. There's nothing friendly about the 18 gauge needle that they take donations with

yeah, 18-gauge is a big needle. especially when you're used to working with 22s and 24s. but i've given blood several times and they've never had trouble. the only thing i felt was the needle go in and then it didn't hurt. this one hurt.

[Andy 60]

Oh, I never had any problems with those little things... and I never had any problems when I used to give blood either. lol

[Darth Marius 0]

The only problems I have ever had like that was when the new nurse didn't know what she was doing so I took it from her and did it myself. She didn't know what to think cause I was only like 12 years old and have had shots for years and blood drawn too.

Damn not knowing sith about electronics. I went to Circuit City today to get my computer repaired. While I was there, I checked out the car GPS systems because I get lost all the time. What they were saying went over my head.

Why must the nearest bar only carry Guinness in cans? WHY MUST I WALK ANOTHER FIVE BLOCKS FOR GUINNESS OFF THE TAP? WHHHHYYYYYYYY?

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

poor Ender.

well, i complete my FAFSA today, and i'm not gonna get jack. we've got too much money sitting in savings accounts to cover things like car repairs, home improvements, and emergency cash. we do have a college savings account too, but it's got like $30 in it. and on top of that, i did my taxes today too, and i owe this year. no refund for me. st00pid gubment. :evil:

lol, can't be much of a bar. I don't think I've ever seen canned beer in a bar before.

It's not, really. Because it's in America. :p

[Bad furday 57]

*cackle* GB meet in Germany? ;)

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

w00t! bratwurst!! :D

[Andy 60]

I can't even afford to go to Germany. lol, I doubt I could afford to go anywhere here either. lol

Oktoberfest is on my list of things to get drunk at before I die.

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

one of my diamonds fell out of my wedding ring. i hope it's a home or in the car and i didn't drop it at work or on the sidewalk. and i'm reeeeeaaaallllly sore from playing kickball yesterday. owies.

[Pandora 77]

Oh no! If I lost one of my diamonds to my engagement ring (or hell, my wedding band, since I have to have it inspected with my engagement ring, even though I'm not allowed to wear it yet) I'd cry.

Did you get it insured by the jeweler?

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

it's under warantee. plus, the jewler is our neighbor, so i don't think we'll have any issues getting it fixed. i just wish i could find the darn thing. i'm gonna have 'em glue that sucker in with superglue this time, lol.

[Pandora 77]

Lol. Was it channel set or in prongs? Channels fall out easier and prongs are more easily-maintained. Plus prong-set rings size better.

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

prongs, but only two; one at the top and one at the bottom. i'm gonna have them check the other little diamond when i take it in. the big diamond in the middle has 6 prongs, so it's not going anywhere, lol.

[Pandora 77]

Lol probably not.

[TheUnknown 39]

I hated it when someone says something that totally pisses me off, but at the same time, I know they have a point somewhere down in there (even if they're conclusions are wrong). I can't even insult them in my mind, because I know it's childish. I feel like a pressure cooker right now.
