The musing thread

Life proof! Awesome, protects the front, isn't bulky, love mine.

I bought my phone a Lifeproof, because after I put it through the washing machine (in a non-protective case), I made it a promise that if it didn't die, I would buy it the best case money could buy.

While I like a lot about the case, the need for an adapter for the headphone jack makes me hate it. It would be pretty much not an issue for a lot of people, so if you don't use the headphones much, I still suggest the case. But for me, I had headphones in my lab coat at work, headphones at home for walking, and the aux cable in my old car. Which meant I never had the adapter where I needed it, and the one that came with the case fell apart pretty quickly. I ordered two new ones, but now have managed to lose all three of the little plugs for the hole. Which now means my case isn't even really waterproof.

Or maybe you are more of a responsible adult and that won't be a huge issue for you. But I wouldn't have bought the case if I'd realized what a pain that was going to be for me.

Thank you for all the suggestions; I ended up getting a rubber sleeve type case; the waterproof ones are too bulky for me to deal with day-to-day. I already think the phone is huge! We'll see how this goes!

You can use the original headphones for the phone with no issues. It's the gigantic aftermarket headphones that won't work.

RA- the rubber ones are usually bigger then the Lifeproofs.

Then I must have been looking at the wrong cases at the store. :]

So after a weekend of agonizing about it and asking advice from a whole bunch of people, including a total stranger at a wedding on Saturday, I made up my mind that I was going to call the groomer and tell her I wasn't sure if the finances were going to match up to what I was looking for.

And this morning she called me and told me she ran the numbers this weekend and she wasn't sure the finances were going to match up to what I was looking for.

Actually it was a really good and positive phone call, she was really nice and I told her I was really excited about the opportunity and glad she called me, but I just didn't think we were going to be the right match and she agreed. It was nice that she called me and was upfront about it now instead of after I came in for my working interview tomorrow.

I guess after all that agonizing, it was just meant to end up this way... that is not what I'm supposed to do.


I've been taking Vitamin D for the last several weeks on recommendation of a few people and even though I woke up in the middle of the night to worry about it, I didn't have an all-out panic attack, and even though I've been really frustrated and upset and FEELING like I'm going to totally lose it, I haven't. So maybe it's working? I guess feeling like I'm right on the verge of having a panic attack but not actually having one is a good thing...

Feeder crickets are such vile creatures that I kind of only get them for my gecko to watch her expertly hunt them down and crush them.

 

[Melle]

Someone help me figure out if I want rats or guinea pigs :S :S :S

I've been in limbo ever since my last trio of female fancy mice. We had guinea pigs a long time ago, but I've also been into rats for a few years, just never had the chance to go for it...And now I've found out guinea pigs can do tricks too!

Oh my god, this. I would usually feed mealies to my leo and Repashy's to my crestie, but the sheer smell, annoyance and grossness of crickets was sometimes worth it to watch both of them destroy them. opcorn:

It has totally just occurred to me that my dogs would not only be amazing at bikejoring, but I live in the perfect place for it with miles of forestry tracks and roads!!! And it'd be well fun!! And 90% of the dogs in the photo I googled are GSPs!!

And of course, I can't do it now as I'm whale like... typical. When I can though......

 

[Locke]

Why can't my SO find ANYTHING on his own???!!!!

SO: "Where's the chicken? I can't find it in the fridge."

Seriously?!? There are only four tupperwares in the fridge!!! How can you not see it?!! I just don't get it!!!

A boy who we all grew up with and knew was shot last night. He was only 19, and one of the nicest guys. I remember in elementary school we'd give each other a hard time all the time, in good fun. Suspect is still at large, and it seems to have been just a random shooting. It's just sad.

I don't care what people say about athletic tape.. it makes such a huge difference in my world! Strain the outside of my knee two nights ago at CF& sufffffered last night trying to do wall balls (squatting is involved). Could still feel the ache this afternoon so taped before going to class. Just did some squats to test.. no pain!

 

[Dizzy]

I've caught my boyfriends cold. The cold I gave him no sympathy for and declared man flu.

I feel rough and am too proud to tell him he was right it's poopy lol.

 

[RD]

My boyfriend is usually quite tough, so when he was feeling pretty rough last week and was admitting to it and taking medicine, I figured I was bound to get sick abd was truly done for. So far, nothing. This has to be the first time my immune system hasn't failed me - I usually get EVERYTHING.

I hope you feel better quickly diz!

Thank you. As the news of the situation comes out, it gets worse and worse with what seems to have taken place, and was no longer just a random event.

 

[Fran101]

Please understand that if you say something super nice to me in a comment or thread or facebook or whatever, know that I appreciate it/am probably crying

but the protocol of acknowledging it beyond a like or "thanks" is too much for my awkward self and it sometimes just doesn't happen and I hate it and I'm sorry but ya

I bought a cake from school. A whole cake. I live alone...


... No shame. No shame at all.

 

[yv0nne]

I want a cake.. blue velvet please. With white icing& sprinkles. Oh my god I want a cake so badly.

I did 75 sit-ups, 75 kettle bell swings, 63 wall balls, 600m run& 650 row this evening. My arms are barely existing at the moment.

 

[Melle]

Cake? Cake? I want cake. I REALLY want cake.

I've been pining for some yellow cake with good buttercream icing and coconut flakes on top for so long now.
