Things that frustrate us all

I had been in bed for a few days because I couldn't walk, I got out today but my foot is hurting again. :(
 
There is no 100% safe way of storing data, I'm afraid :(
Sure there is: keep it in your brain!
Not even that is safe. Apart from worst case scenarios like Altzheimer, dementia or alcohol/drug-related brain damage, the risk of brain cancer or an accident or stroke causing brain hemorrhage there's the perfectly regular data loss as well: everyone forgets things occasionally (particularly shopping lists).
 
I would probably never get over those books being thrown out :(
And I never have.

The only consolation is that the ideas I have now are infinitely better than what I had then. There may have been things worth keeping, but the stuff I come up with now is simply better, and that's the stuff I keep secure - notebooks in safe boxes, typed stuff in redundant backups plus CDs. Never again.

Oh, and I'm not that sure about the cloud. For many reasons, starting with a huge data outage/loss a month ago, plus an experience at a company I worked at. it has to be under my hand.

I like to hold onto everything lightly. This may be an excuse, but it beats worrying about permanence.

I understand that, except the Notes are, as far as I'm concerned, not replaceable. Furniture. clothes computers, all thats replaceable, but the ideas and concepts, once they are gone, are gone. My memory's odd, I can remember lots of stuff, but the stores only stick if written down. Which is why, RobMax, I have to write them down. I don't know how many times I've had a good idea, only to have it evaporate, leaving only the knowledge that it's gone (as I said, odd memory).
 
TayLa, is there any way you can get to a hospital? Accident and Emergency (or equivalent)? I know it's different over there to here (you just rock up to A&E, it's basically free), but maybe there's a scheme or something you can get in on. This pain has persisted way too long, you need to act. And constant pain will make you depressed, so if you can fix one, you'll probably fix the other

Yeah I find it completely flabbergasting how I can have an idea and then it can utterly vanish. What is the deal with that? I tend to jot everything down in gmail.
 
Tv screen turned green O_o. Luckily unplugging and replugging things back in fixed it. But it was really weird. Thought my tv was dying for a bit there.
 
My TV once showed me the future and then there was a flash and went black. :(

I still can't find a Grays Sports Almanac???

*They don't exist... dammit*

It would be great if they were real.

Curse you Back to the Future 2, for making it so real :p.

Did find this though.
 
Maybe next year.

I am legitimately frustrated that my life has been pointless. No one loves me, no one cares IRL. I am stuck in this nightmare. :(
