Things that frustrate us all

I did the unthinkable and posted a picture of myself on another forum, hoping to get some comments.

Maybe everyone is busy on a Monday afternoon. Maybe they don't want to say anything. I wish I knew.

That's the consequence of not having slept through Chemistry class.

(referring to his chemistry degree) Return it.

While I think when he appealed to authority he opened himself up to having that authority questioned, you were getting a little personal even before he mentioned his degree in chemistry. Please just keep it on the facts.

Where I live we have fine chocolatiers and two great countries for chocolate nearby (Belgium and Switzerland). Belgium is only two hours by car away. I am afraid I don't find that very frustrating...;)

Boss sent chocolates from Belgium on their last trip to Europe. OhMyOh. It IS on another level.

I'll take your word for it as eating wax shavings isn't something I've tried.;)

Confess I’ve never tried to eat candle wax but may have to admit having tried crayons when very young!

...Aaaaand back to my couch. Woke up a few times in the middle of the night, too. Should've expected that.

I can't afford a mattress, much less the materials to make my bedframe. If I could, I would at least have some privacy every once in a while.

I’m sorry. Hope you land a better place soon.

About your source:

https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Genetic_Literacy_Project

From the Article:

The Genetic Literacy Project is associated with the Statistical Assessment Service (STATS) and the Center for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA). Its executive director is Jon Entine who promotes GMOs. Bloomberg and The Progressive have reported that lawyers suing Monsanto state in court documents that companies funnel money to the Genetic Literacy Project in order to "shame scientists and highlight information helpful to Monsanto and other chemical producers."[1][2] In a report that examined corporate attacks on science, Congress found that to discredit the World Health Organization (WHO), Monsanto "turned to industry trade groups, such as CropLife and industry front groups, such as Genetic Literacy Project and Academics Review as platforms of support for industry spokespersons."[3]

The Genetic Literacy Project's website is owned by the public relations company: ESG MediaMetrics.[4] The website for ESG Mediametrics has been removed, but archived versions of the firm's site show that its clients include Monsanto, the Vinyl Institute, and Merisant, a Monsanto spin-off that manufactured artificial sweeteners.[5]

The Genetic Literacy Project has attempted to deny their affiliation with Statistical Assessment Service (STATS) and the Center for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA).[6] However, an archived page of the Genetic Literacy Project list the same address and phone number for Statistical Assessment Service (STATS) and the Center for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA).[7]

In the New York Review of Books, Michael Massing wrote, "[T]he Center for Media and Public Affairs was set up with conservative foundation money in the mid-1980s as part of a growing effort by the right to portray the American press as liberal and out of touch with mainstream America."[8]

Reporters with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that STATS was a stealth defender of the chemical industry that did not disclose funders and was associated with Center for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA), which had contracted with tobacco companies.[9]

The group regularly denies having any ties to Monsanto. However, in late 2017 documents were released as part of a lawsuit against Monsanto regarding the possible carcinogenicity of the pesticide glyphosate.[10] One document detailed Monsanto's battle plan against the World Health Organization, which was planning to classify glyphosate as a possible carcinogen. On page five, Monsanto's plan listed strategies and tactics for discrediting the World Health Organization before it released its ruling and named several "industry partners" they would work with, including Biofortified AKA Biology Fortified, Inc., Sense About Science, Genetic Literacy Project, and Academic Review.[11]

Basically, it's like quoting a uranium mining company about the dangers of... uranium!!!:rolleyes:
 
Our school put out a message on facebook asking parents not to air their grievances on Facebook. Not that I’m doing that, but if they put a bit more effort in to not being so shit maybe things would be different.

Also. There is a squished bag of dog shit on the pavement outside my house. Someone went to the effort of bagging a turd and then left it there.

*tsk* Amateurs. Everyone knows you're supposed to set it on fire first. Kids today are so lazy.
 
A twinge of pain in my broken foot today when I was watering my cat. Not like the general soreness I sometimes feel when I forget to take my OTC pain meds and not like the crack I heard that had apparently started all of this, but I need to be more careful.

*shudders* I'm so sorry.
 
Same thing happened with my mom and a side table she ordered...on Amazon.

What?!?

Cats love to lay down right in your path, especially narrow paths when you are relegated to using crutches.
 
I wasn't aware that documents had gender. :lol:

Cheap-ass, particle board filing cabinet has become warped, so neither drawer will shut all the way. It won't lock, so both drawers are now always open, at least an inch or two.
