Alarum
because i just walked into a door when i swear i opened it not 5 seconds earlier...i think its time to go home
cypher
why the hell every single opportunity comes with shitload of problems?
sharpe
There must be a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when they change something.

Because my dear Mother in Law died this morning. Telling the children was really difficult. But maybe we should be relieved because she fought cancer for 18 months and we were told she only had 6 months. She even managed 2 short trips out here in that time. It's just difficult losing 2 relatives in less than 3 weeks though.
jeremy
Because my wife is on her period and I am getting verbal abuse.
mere
be glad you're only getting it then! You could be like some truly unlikely guys you get it no matter what, no matter when. smile.gif
sarabyrd
g24, I am so sorry to hear that. As you said, losing two relatives within three weeks is hard, even though one death was expected. My ex's parents died within six weeks of each other three weeks after Haggis Junior was born, it was a very difficult time for us all.
Mariposa
Because my laptop melted! There is a dent in the laptop and it won't start. And my int'l warranty ran out two months ago so now I have to wait till I am in Munich in three weeks (and I get there very late on the 21st, 22nd and 23rd are weekend, 24th - 26th Christmas, so it will probably be 4 weeks till I can have it fixed! And I really hope they will fix it in time before I go back to Spain. Gosh this sucks! I suppose I won't be on TT much until then. sad.gif
P.S. The French keyboard is messed up!
flashmac
Since receiving my redundancy letter 1 month ago, I've not had so much as a phone call or a 'thanks' from the head quarters office that I single handedly set up! Not even a leaving card.. that pissed me off! out of sight, out of mind, out of work! mad.gif
Schotte
just tell em to fuck off pal. better off without if thats the case. fuck em! biggrin.gif
alala
Because Evel Knievel is dead.
Pas
Because when I drove back from the Mexican last night I had to drive with my knees around my head with a bed being in the back of the car.

My back is now aching like hell. I'm such an old man.
alimess
Because I was suppose to go to Freiburg this morning but the car broke down!!!
Schotte
I promised someone on this board a pair of Kipling Angel Slices then I ate a packet thinking I had more but I don't sad.gif
Dafydd
'cos the only thing I can cook with any degree of competence is mince pies - and I don't have any mincemeat nor any reasonable prospect of finding any in Munich before Xmas. And I'm a fookng long way from M&S. (These are not just mince pies; these are over priced, baked in Bromsgrove, held in cold storage in Liecester since October and then shipped countrywide by a scandanavian haulage conglomerate M&S mince pies...)
welshdragon
well you can't have any of my mincemeat, tongue.gif
Owain Glyndwr
huh?

Pomeroy and Winterbottom?
Dafydd
Diolch yn fawr
welshdragon
I presume you are thanking Owain... wink.gif
Mariposa
Not just today, still unhappy about this...

sad.gif

Mariposa
Because I am at the library right now, trying to write an essay and I cannot focus at all or think of anything good to write ... the topic sucks.

What's the topic? rolleyes.gif

QUOTE
Activitat B de comentari:
Verschiedene Aspekte des Identitätsverlustes.

Maximal 3 Seiten. Abzugeben bis 30 November.

Aus: Jenseits von Schuld und Sühne.
“Täglich morgens kann ich beim Aufstehen von meinem Unterarm die Auschwitznummer ablesen; das rührt an die letzten Wurzelverschlingungen meiner Existenz, ja, ich bin nicht einmal sicher, ob es nicht meine ganze Existenz ist. Dabei geschieht es mir annähernd wie einst, als ich den ersten Schlag der Polizeifaust zu spüren bekam. Ich verliere jeden Tag von neuem das Weltvertrauen. Der Jude ohne positive Bestimmung, der Katastrophenjude, wie wir ihn getrost nennen wollen, muss sich einrichten ohne Weltvertrauen“
“Heimat ist, reduziert auf den positiv – psychologischen Grundgehalt des Begriffs, Sicherheit“. “Man muss Heimat haben, um sie nicht nötig zu haben, so wie man im Denken das Feld formaler Logik besitzen muß, um darüber hinauszuschreiten in fruchtbare Gebiete des Geistes.“ (1997, 81)
“In diesem Augenblick begriff ich ganz und für immer, dass die Heimat Feindesland war und der gute Kamerad von der Feindheimat hergesandt, mich aus der Welt zu schaffen“ (...) Für uns war, was mit diesem Land und seinen Menschen zusammenhing, ein Lebensmissverständnis“. (1997, 86) Damit aber erhält das Heimweh ein wichtiges Element an Selbstzerstörung, an Selbsthass:
“Das echte Heimweh war nicht Selbstmitleid, sondern Selbstzerstörung. […] Die Feindheimat wurde von uns vernichtet, und zugleich tilgten wir das Stück eigenen Lebens aus, das mit ihr verbunden war. […] Was zu hassen unser dringender Wunsch und unsere soziale Pflicht war, stand plötzlich vor uns und wollte ersehnt werden: ein ganz unmöglicher, neurotischer Zustand, gegen den kein psychoanalytisches Kraut gewachsen ist.“ (1997, 88)
“Das Lagerleben erforderte vor allem körperliche Gewandtheit und einen notwendigerweise hart an die Grenze der Brutalität liegenden physischen Mut. Mit beiden waren die Geistesarbeiter nur selten gesegnet, und die moralische Courage, die sie oft anstelle der körperlichen einsetzen wollten, war keinen Pfifferling wert.“ (1997, 22)
“Die Mauern stehn sprachlos und kalt, im Winde klirren die Fahnen“ murmelte ich assoziativ mechanisch vor mich hin. Dann wiederholte ich die Strophe etwas lauter, lauschte dem Wortklang, versuchte dem Rhythmus nachzuspüren und erwartete, dass das seit Jahren mit diesem Hölderlin Gedicht für mich verbundene emotionelle und geistige Modell erscheinen werde. Nichts. Das Gedicht transzendierte die Wirklichkeit nicht mehr. Da stand es und war nur noch sachliche Aussage: so und so, und der Kapo brüllt “links“, und die Suppe war dünn, und im Winde klirren die Fahnen.“ (1997, 269)
“Von den Merseburger Zaubersprüchen bis Gottfried Benn, von Buxtehude bis Richard Strauss war das geistige und ästhetische Gut in den unbestrittenen und unbestreitbaren Besitz des Feindes übergegangen" (1997, 27)

This is due tomorrow, not the 30th (she put the 30th without realizing that we don't have class that day.) I have written almost a page already but today I am having one of those days where all I write sounds like crap to me. That and I feel like my brain is thinking in slow-motion.
Kay
I'm sorry I asked! laugh.gif
Pas
That's about as easy as it gets. Whats the problem?
leeza
I am bummed that because of massive miscommunication, I didn't receive the invitation to a party for one of my closest friends tonight, and now it is too late to find a babysitter. sad.gif

I guess on the flip side, I can be happy not to go as my estranged (Pas taught me that word...) husband will be there with his girlfriend, and I don't like to mix socially with them if I can help it.
Mariposa
That I cannot think. I cannot even remember what the other authors said about this.
Pas
Just copy Heidi's thread. tongue.gif
Mariposa
Hahaha funny. Seriously, this is sucky, I wanna finish this within the next hour because then the library closes and I wanna go see Enchanted at the movies, and my laptop melted so if I don't finish this tonight I have to get up early tomorrow to go back to the library to finish it before class.
Pas
The wee button with a X at the top right hand corner of your browser will help you there...
Mariposa
I know laugh.gif I am still writing on it even though I have this window open. wink.gif
AshleyM
Hmm..I think Mariposa has enough crumbs in her keyboard to make Dafydd a nice cake! tongue.gif

I am unhappy that I just finished my last glass of lambrusco and it is too early to go to bed!

I am also unhappy that I sit here on TT way too much and my bum is getting bigger. laugh.gif

Panama
I'm ill, or so I think. My body aches like hell. sad.gif
Mariposa
Ashley, I know, haha. Mostly lots of dust on it, oh well.

That explains why your better half stays out as much as he can.

Sweetie, if it was only about bum size we'd never see each other.

Whazzat?

I am unhappy because Cookie has not started her thread yet. You know which one, honey!
Cookie
@SB - on it now. Thanks for the reminder.

I am unhappy because I obviously slept "funny" last night and have re-pinched a nerve between my shoulders. And it hurts like hell.
sarabyrd
I am officially no longer unhappy, see thread.
Sorry to hear about your nerve, Cookie.

I am very sad today because someone I know, a mother of two young children, has been diagnosed with a braintumor.
girl_anachronism

i have to pay to change my flight home by the 20th so i can stay here and can't afford to.

L8knight
I feel your pain. I owe 5 figures in taxes to the wonderful government here. They've wished me merry x-mas by taking it from my account sending my finances in a tailspin. I had a vacation booked for x-mas and that won't happen now cause i can't pay the airfare. If they run out of beer before I can get to the trinkmarkt I'm totally screwed wacko.gif

My best friend had one earlier this year. It's really hard I know. He is OK for now but it's a really hard thing for all around to deal with.

I can't believe my mum has called to say my Aunt/godmother died last night. I'm gutted. She was only 53.

3 deaths in the family since 4th November is ridiculous, I'm stunned...
mere
people should just be upfront and honest.
if they don't want stuff and have no intention on ever changing or compromising then say that. Don't let others go along thinking something and not correcting them.
If you don't care then also tell people that.
Don't say one thing then not do it. If you truly cared and wanted stuff you'd work for it and not against it.

Bejesus g24, that is really shite, sorry sad.gif

well since moving here two months ago, my arschloch of a nachbar downstairs has phoned the police 6 times, the ordnungsamt, the social services, complained to our landlord (almost daily),
bangs on his ceiling, hits the heitzung, slams his doors, and why??, because he thinks my two toddlers make too much noise. When I stick up for myself and my family, the little fucker wont come to his door, last weekend he took away my name tag off our doorbell and postbox, so of course I did the same. When we actually phoned the police last Sunday, they knocked on his door and walked off when he didn't open it, fucking brilliant.

Yesterday I get a fucking letter from the police, asking me to attend next weds, as the twat has now accussed me of "Insulting behaviour" like he expects me to just sit on my hands, and "damage". Added to this I'm jumping through fucking hoops to try and get some dole money, even though I'm English.

I don't think I can take much more stress.

Relax. Breathe deep. Get a copy of your Hausordnung and memorize it. And beat him at his own game...
