Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I've actually considered being a surrogate. Whether it be for a gay couple or just a couple who can't have kids themselves for whatever reason, I've always been intrigued by the idea. I don't want any more kids of my own, but I enjoyed pregnancy. (Kinda weird, huh?) And you can get paid some serious coin for it.

Problem is I don't have health insurance and I think that would be a pretty big no-no. When I do get to that point, it might be something I'll seriously look into.

People who bring pets onto passenger trains. Especially that drunken women who let her dog bite me as I was walking to my seat, then started SCREAMING at me that I must have kicked her dog.

Same dog had been growling at people who walked by and decided that my ankles would make a tasty snack. Thankfully I had been wearing a pretty sturdy pair of leather boots that day otherwise that dog's teeth would have gone straight through my Achilles Tendon.

Normally I dislike being confrontational towards strangers, especially on things like trains as fighting on trains tends to get you dragged away by the police, so I nudged her and politely said "Excuse me...Do you know your dog has just bitten me?"

She took it as some kind of personal attack and began to scream at me at the top of her voice that I must hate all animals and it's her right to have a dog on the train and it somehow must be my fault that her clearly aggressive and vicious dog seems to like growling at and biting passers by.

How badly she was slurring and how much she stunk of cheap alcohol gave me the hint that there would be no way of getting this woman to see sense even if the other passengers on the train agreed with me.

Thankfully the staff on the train were nice enough to have the drunk woman and her dog kicked off the train and we were treated with the entertaining sight of the police taking her and her dog away from the platform so I could travel home in peace.

People who bring pets onto passenger trains.

I'd like to add to this...anyone that does not train their animal and/or anyone that does not control their animal...anywhere at any time! I swear to god I'm going to kill my mothers dog. FIRST my sister just bought the dog for my mom because it was cheap........ummmm......didn't you think to yourself "why is this purebred dog so cheap??" My mother wanted a dog and all of us girls were in a discussion about getting her one. I insisted that we go to the pound where you can spend some time with the dog and know more about its temperament from the staff. Well my sister thought that she'd look like the best daughter if she got a dog herself and gave it to mother. We are constantly dealing with her bs like this. She justified it by "well its a purebred and only $50! If I didn't buy it right then it would have been gone by the time I talked to you!"

One of the things the woman selling the dog told her was that the dog was not good with kids. My mom has grandkids, this does not work. After she got the dog, we found out that the dog is not good with LOTS of people! The few the dog doesn't attack when you come in her door are so cocky about it. "You must kick her!" "You must stink!" "You're too tall!" "You're too short!" and other related BULLSHIT. My grandson did nothing more than pick up one of the dogs toys as he was sitting on the floor and the dog viciously attacked him. The dog is f**ked up in the head and thats that.

Knowing this, does my mother discipline or restrain the dog? Nope. The dog has now bit several people and I've told my mother that if the dog ever bites anyone in my family that we are reporting it to the police. The dog needs to be put down or with someone that will train it.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Well crap, don't visit this thread in a week and look at what I find?

So tl;dr Kidneys failing, won't put on transplant list unless both are removed, higher chance of dying a painful death if I do........wtf would you do?

Mind you, not being in your situation and not knowing all of the details, and how much time having a kidney while being on dialysis would give vs just being on dialysis gives you could be an important factor:

If you are considering your son's offer, I would find out how good of a match he is, if you can, before making a decision. Otherwise, I think I would be inclined to remove the kidneys and go on the dialysis machine with the intention of getting a transplant. From what you say it does not sound good to keep both kidneys right now.

To my understanding, there is nothing you can really do now that'll help your current kidneys, and if you can get a transplant then that will help you, is my reasoning at anyrate.

Best of luck to you with this TGM.

Like I said here, I'm having difficulty figuring out who I'm going to tell.

I don't know what to tell you here. I myself am more or less fine with gay men so long as they aren't hitting on me. However I have known people who are completely intolerant of homosexuals.

Ugh, I went through something similar once. There was a girl I was madly in love with, Jennifer. However while I was pretty sure she was interested, I was terrified of asking her, besides she had a boyfriend and was "taken". Finally she breaks up with her crappy boyfriend, and yes he really was crappy, and I finally work up the nerve to ask her out by thinking to myself, "Self, asking her out is a yes, no, or maybe question, what's she gonna say, that'd be weird? HAH! That's like something out of a Monty Python skit!". So I ask her, first words out of her mouth were, "Um... That'd be kinda weird". Yeah... I still have some maybe not so slight issues with that.

All I can say is best of luck and hope things go well for you.

Anyway, at least know that, no matter what happens, there are plenty of people out there that will accept you as precisely who you are.

Alas, the problem is finding said people.

Also want I wanted to include in my previous post was something about people who think that sexuality is a choice.

I think some people are gay, and I think some people, for whatever reason, choose to be gay, and I think that some gay people, also for whatever reason, choose to be straight.

I've met alot of people who were gay, always were gay, and always will be gay. I've also met other people who choose to be gay because they wanted to be "different", or heaven only knows what other reason they had. But in talking to them it was quite obvious that it was a conscious choice on their part. Several of them I suspect choose to be gay for the explicit purpose of annoying or bothering people. Frankly I wouldn't even call those people gay, I just don't know what else to call them. I only suspect that there are gay people out there leading a life of a heterosexual because they don't want to or can't deal with the social stigma of being gay.

You know the saying "All roads lead to Rome?"

Never heard that saying before, I kinda like it

Is it depressing that I already know what I'd name my child if it were a boy or a girl?

Nope!

Boy: Everette, Harold, Lloyd, couple of others that I've liked the sound of too.
Girl: Adrian, Lenneth, Llewellyn, Cheryl, Cassandra, oh, there are a few others that I've liked the sound of...

Oh, and Lloyd is pronounced Floyd if'n you did not know.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I've never known what names I wanted for my kids if they were to be boys. I always knew that I would name a daughter Danielle.

Of course, that means both of my kids were boys. My oldest was named after his dad, and my youngest was named about a week before he was born after much arguing between my ex and I.

But I was definitely prepared if I had a girl. :/
