I know... I'd Googled the Turtles for all the newest stuff as of today and it's all that. I don't even read the comic but the article I saw still dampened the eyes a bit.

*pennydreadful* · 03-19-2015, 08:25 PM

I know - and now I'm like "wtf is wrong with me that I'm getting this emo over a comic book?"

But yeah, seriously - I wasn't up to that issue yet and it's like all over the internet and I'm pissed. Spoiler that sh*t, people!

Just don't go broke or they may start bleeding it out of you... (Just the checking though, they leave my savings account alone.)

Yeah, their overdraft fees are a royal pain, especially as they like to accumulate almost daily too

I hate automatic renewal for this reason, because they will just keep charging you unless you actually call up their customer service to end it, even though the subscription often was done entirely online. When I see anything with 'automatic subscription' or even 'trial period' I don't even bother with it now, since they are simply more trouble to end then they are ever worth.

I keep feeling that I'm really hungry, so I'll start eating something, but then for some reason I have a hard time finishing it. Either from feeling full, or losing interest in what I'm eating? I don't really know. For instance I was feeling really hungry around lunch, but was only able to eat half a sandwich (which the half piece was about an inch thick and like 3"x3") then it felt like/ pretty sure I spent almost half an hour trying to eat 2 chicken strips. Eating smaller things have been satisfying to me though. Like granola bars, or half a cup of sunflower seeds... Maybe I'm over thinking about this.

I feel hungry right now, but I don't wanna make something I'm not gonna finish, and It's probably not good to eat so late at night.

Non-stick aluminum foil.

Generally a great invention and glad not to have to deal with the pizza sticking to it. However... it sucks when you're trying to cut the damn thing with the pizza cutter and it's trying to slide around on the foil enough you end up burning your finger on the edge of the pan.

Hope the pain is gone now, but it already left once then came back.

I've had this same issue, or something very like it, for several years now. I'm hungry most of the time, but I just can't manage to eat enough food to not be hungry, at least not without taking a good hour. It's a pain when I'm going out to restaurants, because I can only eat about half a portion, and then I have to box up the rest and take it home with me.

Finally getting my signature the way I like it, then being told it's too big.

*ZariusTwo* · 03-23-2015, 07:01 AM

I always seem to be compelled to keep rejoining communities I've been banned from. Why is that? Does anyone else have that same issue? Like you just want to keep scratching an itch and have the last word in even if they've made it possible not to?

OMG, that's how I always am, especially when it comes to one-on-one feuds with certain people!

Do you make it clear you're the same person or do you try to ease yourself back in by posting in a different style when addressing whoever it is you're quarreling with?

I don't, I'm usually myself and I trust the mods are too busy to notice.

*Netkeeper* · 03-23-2015, 07:00 PM

Usually when I get banned from places I tend to not want to come back since my bannings tend to be because I blew up. So I acknowledge my ban was my own damn fault, no need to beat a dead horse.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 03-23-2015, 09:27 PM

I've never been banned from anywhere, and I hope I never need to be. I can't imagine trying to re-join after that, since I understand that bannings are usually done after serious consideration by the Mods. Having BEEN in that position, I know what it's like to have to make that decision. It's hard, because you don't want to have to take that step, but sometimes it's best. And sometimes, there really just isn't any other recourse.

*Slade* · 03-23-2015, 09:45 PM

Snapchat. The fact that I know somebody has read my ****, but don't respond, but they score keeps going up so you know they using it. Then they look at your story, but still don't respond to you. And you talk to the person all the damn time.

*IndigoErth* · 03-23-2015, 10:13 PM

Can't say I've ever been banned either. I've only gotten a time out, so to speak, a couple times.

The first a number of years ago due more to simple forum dictatorship and being a new person who simply made a mistake. Instead of getting reminded/warned I was automatically slapped with temp ban for 7 or 10 days.

It's all cool now and the person who did it mellowed out after a while (and hell, I eventually became part of the staff), but I could still hit him for it. lol

The other, from last year... I got mad over something elsewhere online and was blocked from use, but for only a short time. Talked it out with a mod, knowing I made myself look like an ass - and embarrassingly counter to how I usually behave online - and got that cleared up.

Edit: Actually, I've had ONE ban. A forum for this Mturk stuff... I was new to doing that 'work' and looking for info. I asked ONE innocent (far as I can tell??) question - banned. No response or reason given or anything. WTF. Was rather pissed at them. Although I found out the person running it was also a "requester" that posts 'jobs,' so you know what, I'm ok with NOT being on that forum to willingly be in his personal corral of underpaid workers. I ended up on a better forum so they did me a favor.

~~Leo656~~ · 03-23-2015, 10:15 PM

Nobody should care about any of that stuff for one second. It's the internet, not real life. Not worth sweating.

*snake* · 03-23-2015, 10:17 PM

When I become mod I'll ban all of you and have you send money to rebuy your accounts.

I've never done that. A couple years ago I was going through some emotional sh*t over a lady friend and it got so bad that I deleted my original Facebook profile, but I started a secondary account with the same name. If I wanted to, I probably could make another one with an alternate name and persona, but I'd kinda have a hard time pretending to be someone else.

Hahaha, there's potential in this one.

*BubblyShell22* · 03-24-2015, 04:37 PM

Never been banned from anywhere, but there's one forum, I don't frequent anymore because I just got tired of it and decided not to waste time with it.

*Whatswiththeheadbands?* · 03-24-2015, 04:38 PM

I got banned from Ultimate Guitar months ago.
