I just watched this video and it's perfect. I've been calling this baby a honey badger for weeks now as I suffer through at least 3 fractured ribs and he's still lodged up in my rib cage, kicking away at the fractured ribs. I have been puking my brains out since this afternoon from the intense pain.

This video made me at least laugh. I had to hold my side and stop myself from physically laughing because - OW!!! But, it's just perfect!! HONEY BADGER DON'T GIVE A SHIT!! BWAHAHAHAHA!! I needed to find humor after today. I'm so happy that he's so healthy and strong but the pain has been wearing on my trying to stay positive - I'm just going to watch this video over and over. I might play it at a future birthday or his wedding, LOL!!!

Omg, I love the honey badger lol cracks me up every time!

I joined eharmony back in Feb but only paid for a subscription last week (so I can see pics now).. I had been going back and forth with a guy I thought was nice but he either has ghosted or just takes forever to reply so I went back to look at some more options.. I scrolled all the way back and clicked on a profile of a guy who I quickly realized was my friends stbxh then I realized today he was literally my first match back in February.. Wtf are the chances of that?!

He is shady as fuck, she has a restraining order against him, he's being investigated by the federal police and she has withdrawn her support for his visa since he is foreign born.. She suspects he's looking for another victim so he can stay in the country! I can't be fucked with all of this lol

I have slept pretty bad the last two nights in the hotel and I am super tired. I have dinner plans at 7:30 which is late for me, so it will be a long day.

That's pretty crazy jenstar!

My coffee was amazing this morning. I just heard that Brian Dunkleman is going to make an appearance on American Idol tonight, I'm actually going to watch it. Wonder what he's up to now and how bitter he is.

I got to work about an hour late this morning and only one other person was in the office.

I cannot shake this lingering illness. Headache, sore throat, and watery eyes this morning along with being so tired. I feel tired though because my neighbor ran his loud diesel truck last night while I was trying to sleep and then he got it started up again at 5:30am, waking me up way before I needed to be up.

My favorite radio DJ has been MIA for almost a month now and the radio station hasn't said anything. He's still listed on their website, so I don't think he was fired, but they also haven't said he's on vacation or anything. I know it's weird, but I hope he's okay.

I'm going to a bachelorette party this weekend and it's going to be cold. I need to run to the store after work and get a gift, but also look at sweaters and long-sleeved shirts for the weekend.

I am super excited for Harry Potter World tomorrow...but I just read that online tickets for the park have sold out...the first time this has ever happened apparently.

It's going to be a mad house.

I have an interview tomorrow that includes a math test. I have no idea what kind of math though. I think I'd do better if it was a statistics test. I'm going to spend part of today looking at GRE math stuff online.

I'm in orientation today and I woke up at 4 am with a terrible sore throat. I have a cold and feel so sleepy. It is really poor timing to get sick for my first week at a new job.

Are children ever rewarding? It's like those who now have them just complain about how rough it is or if they are teenagers, the are like "we are almost home freeee".

My stance on wanting kids is on a shaky and sandy foundation.

I officially lost 3 lbs the first week of my 2-week program. And then I go home for lunch, start off right with sautéed asparagus and mushrooms and tuna fish (right out of the pouch), but then finished with three big handfuls of animal crackers! I guess it could have been worse and I could have grabbed 3 big handfuls of cheese balls.

I need to get out of the habit of falling asleep on the couch every night. I don't sleep well there and wake up a few times before finally going up to bed around 1am. I used to only do that on weekends, and I was ok with it because I could sleep past 7. But not on weekdays. Then I wonder why I'm dragging in the morning.

[1confused1]

@lemonlover, kids are tough, but probably the most rewarding thing I have ever done.

I drank too much last night at a bbq and am paying for it today, very thankful I can work from home.

What type of job is it?  I've only been subjected to a math test once and that was for a position at Walt Disney World; they gave all applicants a basic math test to see if you could add, subtract, etc.

I posted a poll over on ML if you want to weigh in...there is just more eyes/traffic over there.

Back when I was single and child free a friend told me bitterly that children being rewarding was a lie. I was kind of shaken by that and asked my mom, she was pretty emphatic that she loved being a mother and always felt it was rewarding. My friend had a crappy H so I think having kids wasn't quite what she had expected.

I'm only a year in but so far I feel totally rewarded by being a mom. I'm sure I'm not qualified to say how I'll feel during the teen years though, I think that's an especially rough time.

It's a research position. But per the HR person it's not a statistics test. I'm hoping it's a basic math test!

Raising kids is challenging, and more so if you're on your own (depending on what kind of coparent you have!) but I can't think of something I've done that's been more rewarding or more of a privilege. In my experience a lot of the complaining these days comes from parents who are resisting the changes that come with putting someone else first, and the opportunities for self growth.

I know for me when it gets hard if I really look at myself I know there are things that I need to change in myself that will make it easier. Like working on my patience for example. And honestly, that's a huge part of the reward, apart from watching a little person grow.

I tend to think that if parenting isn't changing you, you're probably doing it wrong That probably sounds judgy but I really just mean that the more open you are to having yourself and your life change after having a kid, the easier it's likely to be.

starburst604, jenstar, 1confused1,

My dogs are assholes. I love them. They are rewarding a lot of times and I enjoy them. Even when they are sick and I take them to the vet I feel so bad. Or stay up with them in the MOTN and pet them and rub their ears. But then they are assholes and chew shit up or release their guts all over my floors. I assume kids are similar except a lot more expensive and aren't middle aged at 5 yrs old.

[Eureka1984]

I'm having one of those days where I'm evaluating my life and so far it's not what I expected and I want to change.

I'm trying to put in perspective the thought of actually moving away. It's all jumbled but I'm hoping to figure it out within the next few months.

I'm toasted and on a plane! I even got my own row. For the first time ever I've turned off email and didn't bring my laptop, hells yes!
