Not looking forward to another wasted day of doing nothing at work while plotting how best to use my 2 hours of useful time when I get home.

Revisiting the events of my demotion as moderator this winter. You'd think I'd be over it, but the appointment of a new moderator brought everything back to the surface.

The A/C in my office is on the fritz and is endlessly heating the office.
When I got in two hours ago it was 80 degrees in here. Now it's 83.
EDIT: that's about 26 degree celsius to 28C for the non-Americans

You alright man?
Yeah, I have a neurological condition similar to fibromyalgia, except that it has not yet manifested in all four quadrants of the body (3 so far). Most of the time it's tolerable.

Ate some cream of wheat for breakfast. Plus some 3 hour old coffee. Yum. Not used to my new sked yet.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Just thought I'd check in, but don't intend to do much today other than drink, sleep and salvia. It's the fourth anniversary of the day I sent the sweetest woman who ever walked this Earth, the only woman who ever truly wanted me just for me, off to her death.
Left a message on her FB page (both of them). Doubt anyone on my "friends" list will care. Well, apart from one or two notable and wonderful exceptions.

Take care of yourself.
Think of the good times you had together and how much you cared for each other.
Then, when you're ready, return to us.

It's the memories of the good times that're killing me.
I appreciate the hug. I think that's what I miss most of all - someone who wants to hug and kiss (and whatever) me. Even if they never actually do, just knowing they want to would be nice again. I haven't been kissed in four years. I've given them, on occasion, though they weren't appreciated, but never actually received them in all this time.

*bunny kisses, Stimbo
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
Quote:Some people deserve hell.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Nothing I can say will stop the hurt Stimbo. *more virtual hugs here*
