You have to keep trying.

You’re not embarrassing yourself. This is the nature of these apps.

I still wish you could meet someone via some other method.

Smokers have the strangest logic I've ever known. My boyfriend, a heavy smoker, has serious problems when it comes to smoking. Right now he has a cold and a cough. He doesn't feel like beer, he doesn't feel like eating, but he is still smoking. That is one thing, but I sprayed a little bit of air freshener because there was a funny smell in the bathroom, and he was like, "don't spray that, it is making me cough". Right, fair enough. But when I came back from the supermarket, the whole apartment smelt of the same air freshener, in every room, because he had been smoking while I was gone, and he sprays lots of air freshener to mask the cigarette smell, although I can still tell that he's been smoking because I was not born yesterday. So, where is the sense? I don't understand it.
Also I feel like I'm catching his cough, because he's been coughing and sneezing without covering his mouth. I am a non-smoker, but he has been smoking for so many years in his apartment that it's a habit and a routine he finds difficult to break. So I've got to breathe all that cigarette smoke in, even if we open the windows it's still in the air, as it stains the walls. Yuk! And opening windows in the colder weather is unfair too. Just give that filfthy, unhealthy habit up! I mean, the smokers at work complain about people leaving the staff lounge door open when it's cold outside, but then as soon as they want a cigarette they all stand there at the door with it open, making us all freeze to death.

It's like smokers become selfish all of a sudden.

"=_= Htf does my dog come to a decision!!.

Go upstairs and sleep alongside my brother b/c I am going to come up soon or are you seriously waiting/expecting me to give attention to play with you or make human based food which your addicted to b/c barely anyone else does?!.

>:( >_<

Parents who use their kids to compete with each other ought to drop dead.

FFFFFRRRRIIIGGGG )x ! !!.

The possible incoming hassle of doing a nearly $400 refund for something I paid with debit, 'incoming'!.

If I'm not hired at the library, I'm rebooking that trip a.s.a.p. which leaves me with the quandary of how not to get anxious/angsty with further job searching btw now and possible last day of calling back to the possibly hired.

I hate the bad apples, they Fup it up for everyone and the ones that remain indifferent to protect their own backsides, they are fuppin baxtards... oh well, it is what it is, heels dug in for the long haul.

When your mom sees that your angry and understands that she does not like to bother you to put coconut oil on her back b/c she doesn't really ask anyone else to put coconut oil on her back.

"=_=..still no reply about a refund -_- ..

I'm sick of the majority of the internet being American. I wish there was a special app that filters out all the American Youtube videos and Google results, and automatically leads you to UK results and videos and stuff instead (or whatever you selected as your nation). There are lots of other English-speaking countries but every time it's always American results that pop up. I live in the UK. I want UK results. The laws, healthcare and even some of the cooking rules differ in America than they do here. And why does America have to copy every British TV show? America copies the Inbetweeners, which turned out to be so crap that they actually stopped making more episodes. And Supernanny flies out to America to do her TV shows, what's wrong with staying in England and continuing her TV shows here? The UK Supernannys were much better than the American ones. OK, maybe that was a bit harsh on my American friends here. I mean, when the UK copies an original US show, the UK version probably sucks too.

And one more thing, I have a habit of speaking American here on WP, because I'm afraid people won't understand my posts if I don't. But from now on I'm going to speak pure British, because that is who I am. So, just a little reminder, here's a small key of some US-UK translations:-

US: Apartment
UK: Flat

US: Pants
UK: Trousers

US: Diapers
UK: Nappies

US: Faucet
UK: Tap

US: Elevator
UK: Lift

US: Parking lot
UK: Carpark

US: Stroller
UK: Pushchair

US: Sneakers
UK: Trainers

We call water from the faucet “tap water.” We also get water “from the tap.”

I also use “trousers” for pants or slacks sometimes.

When I’m in England, I get UK results when I Google something.

joe. with all respect. uk/us isnt the only variants. there are other ppls in the world)))
and ya, i'd understand whatever variation. but thing is, internet english is kinda it's own thing. affected not only by native speakers, but also by everybody, who has english as second/third language. so to me pants is an umbrella term for this kind of clothing, while trousers is a specific case of pants. and no doubt, it is affected by my first language. and then, if u want to only consider us/uk, then well - take map. see the territory of us and of uk. google operates with "most frequent". like, if 10 ppl pressed a link with US laws (which, btw, are different in every state, fyi), and only 1 pressed uk-specific link, then google will show us details first. because there are just more ppl, who want it. due to sheer amount of population. u want specific details, why dont u just add keyword "UK" or "England" to ur search request?
respectfully, a person, who falls out of that binary ^^

Don't forget your Wellingtons or Wellies, either!

What we used to call "rubbers"

My dad makes almost everything in his house smell rancid from his pipe smoke.
And, I don't want my son around him much.
It's a shame.
I used to think my dad was better than what he is.

I'm only staying one night at my parents' house right now.
Dad's not smoking indoors now, but it's obvious he did before I got here.

I've aired out this part of the house with a fan for 3 hrs. I've kept the window open in this room.
Bleh.

There's still some smell.

How the hell do people live like this---with this stink?
