What Annoyed You Today? (1 Viewer)

Alamy and Pintrest annoy me. They throw their watermark all over pictures and want to charge me $20 to "use" them. I'm sure they didn't send their own camera crew onto a carrier to take this picture. My taxes bought this plane, the ship, and trained the pilot/RIO and crew.

Reference for my 1/144 GB-61 build. The stabilizers pitched down for launch but I don't think I'll be able to cut and reposition them. I have the wings cut up and whooo boy will it be fiddly to get it to look like this.

I have the same opinion on images they try to sell of historical monuments in UK. One picture of a castle my uncle was custodian of is taken from on top of the ovens, which is a prohibited area for visitors. If they can claim "rights" on an image, then the UK public can claim "rights" to image of their property sold by people who took the image by clambering on it with their hob nail boots. The upkeep of a circa 1000 year old castle is far more expensive than a digital camera..

Substance abuse is a serious matter. If these items are being discarded, send them to:
Professor Propwash
c/o me.
He'll make sure it's properly disposed of.

I'm having anxiety attacks again.
Not as bad as two years ago, but it's affecting my sleep. I'm not sleeping 2 or 3 nights a week.

 

[SaparotRob]

Same here. My sleep no longer seems to have a schedule since the divorce.

Is this a "Trick Question"?

I am fully vaccinated, that's how I roll, I am sick I stay home. take my word for it, communicable diseases will always be a problem always have been always will be. I am currently licensed as a Registered Respiratory Therapist mainly managed ventilators in intensive under the supervision of an Intensivist. My perspective is different." to each his own, thine self be true" I am a genius...right?

Go to work and cough an sneeze on the management.

Here are the promised Pictures, I an still really amazed at the cars condition, at 1st glance it looks like they just took it for a joy ride and ran it until it was out of gas. They went thru everything, and left a bunch of snack wrappers in the car. But dependently not much a old woman considers necessary in her car was of interest. The Battery is still in the car but is dead, evidently the alarm system was going off when it was toed in Thursday afternoon. Next week the show will see if they can reteach the Key fobs, and get it started, they are trying to trickle charge the battery over the weekend. Fingers crossed that nothing was damaged on the drive train. One good thing is the winter tires don't have much grip in the rain so really abusing the engine would have been difficult.
The day consisted of 2 hours on the phone with the Detroit Police Impound Lot to find what location it was at, returning the rental car as my employer was Kind enough to let me use our company Pool car for 2 weeks (my employer does treat us better than any company I have ever worked for) Diving an hour to the Grand River Ave impound Lot, Dealing with the short staffed but actually very friendly lot staff. Waiting 2 hours for our turn in line. Paying the $245 impound fee. (that will be reimbursed by the insurance Co.) Finding out it wouldn't start and getting a roll back truck willing to take it 45 miles to our local repair shop.
I considered we were very luck, it was about 40F out, very warm for late January in S/E Michigan. We were actually the last people to get their car out yesterday before they closed up at 3:00pm, The rain held off until we got the car unloaded at the Body shop, and the Body shop owner who I have known for 30+ years paid the tow bill and said he will just add it to the insurance claim. I think it went as smooth as it could have, with a better than I could have hoped for result.
Thanks for all the support and well wishes everyone!

I bought two. And four transmissions.

I deal with this as well from time to time. If you need to talk let me know.

It usually hits during periods of uncertainty. Work is always a little slow this time of year and that puts a strain on our finances. Plus I have a kid graduating and getting ready for college. Worry. Worry. Worry.

I understand, I have the same problems when it comes to uncertainty, not being in control, and certain memories or things that remind of specific events that happened. Talking about it is what helps me. I wish I had realized that 20 years ago…

My wife has anxiety quite a bit.

Guys are good about not talking about things. Not good at all. I don't have anxiety problems but between the diabetes and the low testosterone levels I am always in danger of depression. Lucky is does not sneak up on me and exercise helps. I don't worry but also do care about anything. Wife was out of town last weekend visiting relatives and I did not even watch Dr Who or any airplane shows. Thing will get better.

 

[Viking1066]

When I was younger, I had a lot of anxiety. As an old man, I am thankful it's not as big an issue as it was when I was a wee lad.

And the longer you keep it bottled up inside the worse it gets.

I understand completely, hang in there buddy, you know we're all here for you, keep a positive attitude eh? Easier said than done I know but I think we can all relate.

Don't know if your religious or not and I don't generally get all biblical and I'm not preaching so please take it in the spirit it is intended, but Matthew Ch. 6 v 25-34 speaks to worry, trust me, I've read that over and over during my life.

Not sure if this will help, though I do find Stoic approaches work for me:

How To Cure Anxiety: 9 Stoic Techniques That Work

“We suffer more from imagination than from reality.” — Seneca The 21st century has been described as “The Age of Anxiety,” “The United States of Stress,” “The World of Worry.” The implication is that what we are experiencing—pandemics, terrorism, political and economic turmoil, existential...
