Usually I’m not, but I am today. Got in a fender bender in the pouring rain today, so now my car is in the shop with a busted radiator. JUST got it back from them like a week and a half ago after dropping $5,500. This will run me another $500 on the deductible, and I won’t have a car all weekend.

Played my first game with my new hockey team last night and I’m getting the feeling that we’re going to suck. I was on the worst team last season, we only won two games. But I got in a fight in one of the wins and was ejected (and we were still losing when I got tossed), and then was suspended the next game, which was the second game we won (I must be bad luck😂), so I haven’t actually experienced a win since I think last April, maybe even March, with my team before the last one. I HATE losing, even just in recreational beer league, so it’s starting to wear on me, and I’m not terribly confident for this season after seeing our team for the first time last night.

On top of it all, I have a chest cold, and I feel overall fine, but all the coughing up and nose-blowing is aggravating, so I’m just a little irritated all around. I’m fine though, all first-world problems in the grand scheme of life.

[Topaz1979]

you have a great attitude!.

[Jamie05rhs]

Sorry about your car, dude.

[WhiteSteve]

@Jamie05rhs thanks, man. The hits keep on coming with this thing. But I suppose it just means I’m due for some good luck, so time to play Powerball lmao

[WhiteSteve]

@Topaz1979 Thanks! I try to keep it in perspective. One of my older teammates from last season was recently diagnosed with cancer, and he was saying “they think they can keep me alive for another ten years”, like this is some sort positive thing when he’s only about 60. So whenever life hands me a lemon, I try to remember what REAL bad breaks are like. I’m sure my old teammate would trade problems with me in a heartbeat.

[Topaz1979]

@WhiteSteve oh no that's heartbreaking to hear i hope your teammate is blessed with the ability to overcome that wretched illness! and i have learned something from you i'm also going to try to keep things in perspective more because your optimistic attitude is infectious it really is!. I hope everything goes well for you, soon you'll be crushing those hockey games, you'll see!.

[WhiteSteve]

@Topaz1979 Yeah, very sad, I’m hoping it all works out the best it can. And thank you for the kind words, happy I could influence something positive. It could always be worse, right?

[Topaz1979]

@WhiteSteve Right indeed! you are very welcome btw😊.

Reading GaG = grouchy

Not reading GaG = not grouchy

Since I spend more time not reading GaG, I'd say the average is slightly ungrouchy. <- my spell checker says that's not a word but I like it so I'll use it anyway. As a mater of fact I think I'll make "ungrouchy" my favorite word for the day.

[VIVANT]

😂 ungrouchy so yeah totally legit word I like it.

And wise as always 🙏🏼

[WindAtMyBack]

Wise means you've screwed up so many times that every now and then you've gotten it through your damn fool head how not to do things. :)

[VIVANT]

I can’t disagree with that althooooo it also requires paying attention. Many do not 😁😁

[WindAtMyBack]

It usually takes me several tries. My motto is that if it's worth screwing up once it's worth screwing up again.

[VIVANT]

Haha niice oh too true tho 😟

[WindAtMyBack]

That's a variation of something we used to say that pissed off our boss. There's a saying in carpentry, "Measure twice, cut once". We used to change it to, "If it's worth cutting once it's worth cutting twice". My boss knew we were joking, but he'd still give us dirty looks.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I jogged 28 miles yesterday.

Afterwards, I got a long deep sleep to recharge me.

It's now midnight and I'm feeling incredibly pumped & happy.

[Pinay_ako]

Depends on who’s around me 😂. I give off different levels of grouch.

[VIVANT]

Fr fr 😮‍💨 carry on 😎

[Pinay_ako]

🤣 not at you, V ❤️

[VIVANT]

I hope not!! 🥺🥺

🙃🙃🤗

[Pinay_ako]

🥰 some people bring the grouch out but never you

[Anonymous]

Nah I'm generally in a good mood when I come here. Whether that changes after I get here remains to be seen🤣. I try to help. But the negativity of some can wear on me if they're unreachable. I can handle people venting. But I can't handle people who are committed to being and staying angry.

[VIVANT]

I agree 💯 I can appreciate your willingness to observe the distinction between venting and peristyle anger 😊

[Opinion Owner]

We all got to blow off steam sometime. I like to think of my ears as my superpower 🤣 Sometimes people just need to be heard so they can remember that they matter. Life has a way of beating people down sometimes we just have to be reminded of all our blessings.

[VIVANT]

Yeah I was thinking of this today & it helped me to chill out & take a step beck & try to appreciate the person I’m taking to. Even in a bad mood people can offer wisdom whether they realize it or not plus it feels good to be easy going when someone’s having a hard time 😊

[NathanDavis]

not at all...

I've been doing some cleaning and clearing and work around the house... I do find it relaxing, lol

[VIVANT]

Indeed. Nothing hears physical labor and organization/ cleanliness a super bonus. 👍🏼

[NewsReader]

Oh absolutely not. I just saw two former coworkers who I haven't seen in about 8 months. Oh man, we spoke for over an hour catching up on things. I couldn't stop smiling. Still smiling. Told each other some of our greatest memories together. Good times 😃

[lightbulb27]

my PMS is good... Positively Man Syndrome that is.

Yours... maybe on the downswing...

[VIVANT]

Lol goad to hear it 😊

I’m not grouchy just trying to remember most people are grouchy from hard knocks not of a desire to be d*cks 🙏🏼

[Lliam]

I voted 'D'. Nothing out of the ordinary. Everything's good. :-)

[VIVANT]

Haha I believe that 😃

[dustybiker]

Nope. I miserable member helped me vent out the weeks emotions, yesterday, before blocking me. Feel so much better now. Just came off my bike, too. 🧘‍♀️

[sirderpsalot123]

Stop antagonizing people...

[dustybiker]

@sirderpsalot123 Negative. I will defend my home and questions with honor and pride.

[sirderpsalot123]

Fair enough

[dustybiker]

@sirderpsalot123 That’s supposed to be *pride and honor, but don’t think anyone noticed. Already doing enough typos this evening.

[sirderpsalot123]

@dustybiker I just assumed someone started with you on a question of yours, lol.

[dustybiker]

@sirderpsalot123 They did. It went on for over three hours. After an additional hour of highly unusual silence, and assumed block, I deleted the nonsense.

[sirderpsalot123]

@dustybiker 😬

[dustybiker]

@sirderpsalot123 Now you are jealous.

[sirderpsalot123]

@dustybiker I will not confirm or deny.

[humanearth]

Definitely not, actually I'm in a pretty good mood

[VIVANT]

Glad to hear it 🎈

[AsaKyo]

Nah, just feeling suicidal like I do basically every day

[VIVANT]

[VIVANT]

[Havthrills]

I work on machines that make syringes. Always something, but today was 4 machines at once went down. And it's only 3 and half hours in.

[VIVANT]

Syringes are super important!! I’d be a goner without them. 🏥 Thank you 🙏🏼

[Still-alive]

i would describe my current mood as 'content'. thats above 'meh' but below 'great'

[VIVANT]

Sounds like a safe place to be 😂

[Msputiton]
