In layman's terms, the heating coil has to be colder than the air outside in order to provide heat. Wtf?!

Why set of fireworks now?! At least wait for the bells, and even then DON'T! I hate fireworks, as do my pets. X"You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me"- CS Lewis

Re: THE RANT THREAD!
Dear friend of my friend,
DON'T KILL YOURSELF, YOU NINCOMPOOP. Seriously. Aside from all the reasons there are to be alive, you're fucking up his NY because your girlfriend broke up with you. Shit happens, man. Get over it.

Poor guy. Dude, you just don't understand how hard it is to be happy when someone breaks up with you. Also, I love you for saying nincompoop.

But a reason to kill yourself? I never understood that. At some point, life is always going to suck so hard you can scarcely breathe but that's what makes you grateful for the parts that DON'T suck. Giving up? That's heinous!No one tells the wind which way to blow.

I agree with you, but I only agree because I'm not heartbroken right now. It's soooooo inviting to give up when you feel like you have nothing to live for. When life hurts so bad you can't breathe, you aren't thinking about the bits that are still good.

Gah! Checking accounts; overdrawn. Credit cards; maxed out. Cell phones; about to be shut off. Two out of three vehicles; lawn ornaments. Sleep; nonexistent. Kids' portion of phone; unpaid. Kids' portion of house payments; unpaid. Kids' debts, from borrowing; unpaid. Out of smokes. Out of Dew. Out of gas. Out of food. And miles, miles & miles to go, yet this morning.
Damn new years resolution, of mine, looks like it won't even last two days. "I resolve to NOT kill anyone, this year!" So... okay, I'll just do it a little bit and save the resolution for next year. Maybe I'll have better luck, come then.
And maybe pink polka dotted elephants will give me a Publisher's Clearing House check, along with the winning numbers for all the next years' lotteries. And do it while reciting E.A. Poe's Tales.
Shit.

Re: THE RANT THREAD!
If the aforementioned pink elephants do deliver such wealth, who do I need to maim to get a cut?
Past that, I need a good distraction before I start shooting people for either

2) more oppressed than thou

That's why I'd need all of the coming year's lottery numbers. I have some extended family that I'd have to share with.

Well blast, I was hoping for a chance to let my anti-social impulses make me some money. Grrr.

Re: THE RANT THREAD!
Damn it, I'm so antsy today...I can't do anything. I can't drop this awful feeling that something is about to go horribly wrong, and it probably has to do with my family.
