So, CM has another appointment in Hfx. One on the 11th and then the 13th. Could they not have coordinated and have him do one jn the a.m. and the other in the afternoon, they're in the same building complex? (11th is an appt to see about getting his remaining teeth pulled), 13th is kidneys.... The one on the 11th is it at 9:15 a.m. So we'll have to leave by 7 a.m.
Thought we'd found a driving service that would do his appts but they only cover the valley. I found a couple others so I've emailed to see how much they charge. If it's gonna cost him what it would to pay me for gas, it's not worth it.
He wants to pay for gas, but given he only gets about $380/month for pension. Told him not to worry about it, I'll keep a running total and he can pay me what/as he can. He turns 65 in Jan so will start gettng OAS and supplemental in February, so it should give him a fair bit more money. (He doesn't have any pension plans from when he worked....)
He's mentioned a few times how grateful he is for my help...and i know he means it.
In other news, the summer is half over *sobs* It's no fair!
In other other news, sis and i are going down to the South Shore for a few days starting on Monday...and she's paying for most of it. ;D
The new Odyssey adaptation has inevitably gotten people talking about a Muppet version of it, and they’re frequently suggesting Kermit as Odysseus, Miss Piggy as Penelope.
I’m sorry but that’s thinking way too small, hear me out:
We need to have Miss Piggy as Odysseus, and Kermit as Penelope.
Think about it… who’s the more fickle, prideful, warlike one in that relationship? Who is absolutely ready to go ham, at a moment’s notice?
I vote Nobody, but I could see arguments for Helen of Troy or Circe as well.
Also important:
How does the Circe turning men into pigs thing get handled given that Miss Piggy is a pig-Muppet and there are multiple other muppets who are already canonically pig-Muppets?
They get turned into real live action pigs, nobody remarks on it
They get turned into real live action pigs & Piggy looks directly at the camera
They get turned into chickens
They get turned into live action humans
Nothing happens at first to the guy Muppet-pig, so Circe has to get creative
Other/I’m bald/vanilla extract
Voting ended onJul 30
Just to clarify my vision on a couple of these:
* by chickens I mean Muppet-chickens à la Camilla (Gonzo naturally would have some reaction to this)
* in the “nothing happens at first to muppet pig”, what I’m visualizing is that Cpt James Pork (or whatever his name is - the pigs in space one) is in the crew, everyone else in the crew gets transformed into either live action pigs or non-sentient Muppet-pigs (walking on 4 legs, etc), and he is completely unchanged… until Circe sighs and snaps her fingers again, and he turns into some other animal (maybe a chicken? or possibly a live action human, in which case it’s obviously either an INSANE celebrity cameo pull with someone who’s normally top billing, or literally William Shatner)
Can I just say I really appreciate that our collective commitment to the Muppets is so strong that at 120-something votes, not one person has chosen other/vanilla extract?

But please, please don't say shit like "OMG, this story is older than me" or "I can't believe how old this story is". And THAT is the only comment. My dude in fandom, the show it is for started in the late 1990s and people have been writing for it since it started. Fandom/fanfic didn't start when you discovered it.
There's no need to mention a story's age in the comments. When I was new to fandom (in the late 90s as a 20 something), I never felt the urge, when reading ST:TOS fic from the 60s/70s to comment on how old it (or the author was). And if you do feel the actual douche canoe need to mention a story's age to the author who wrote it? Then AT LEAST leave a "great story" or "i really enjoyed this" along with it.
Otherwise, you're just (coming across as) an ageist ass hole who thinks their generation created everything.
I'd rather have NO feedback, tbh. And I'm not one of those authors who requires feedback, either. I'm happy with just looking at my hit count.
Thought we had CM's phone set up but apparently not and couldn't finish it up tonight over the phone (he was using his bro's). Tomorrow will get him at 10 a.m., we'll go to Mickey D's for his coffee, try the account set up one more time and if it doesn't work, we can go over to the mall to the Telus store (it's koodo prepaid).
Anyhow when his phone was populating his old, stored numbers, mine wasn't in there but fucking ******'s was. Some cunt he cut off contact with b/c she wouldn't behave the way he thought she should...yet still has her number but not mine. I am really fucking stupid. He knew I'd offer to help him the way I have. He fucking knew it, the only reason he's talking to me again, I'm sure.
Oh, well, that's on him for how he treats people. I told him I'd help and I will. I can be his friend even if he really won't be mine.
Character has a PhD: they’re really smart and knowledgable about their field!
Character has 2 PhDs: either they did a dual degree program and are braggy about it, had a life-changing experience after their first degree and pivoted their whole career, or they find the structure of being a PhD student, despite all its stress, more comfortable and familiar than the stress of finding a Real Job and have a very indulgent advisor.
Character has 3 PhDs: who keeps accepting them to PhD programs. Either this person needs psychological help or their department needs to be investigated for its academic standards. Probably both
Character has 4+ PhDs: if they aren’t an undercover vampire or something then no they don’t lol

My corner of fandom never really used the lemon/lime thing AND we avoided FFnet like the fucking plague--mostly cus I was in slash fandoms. On LiveJournal (god, I miss the heyday of LJ). Used (and still do) femslash, but it's not what I'm into, so, there's that. I also remember when people understood that GEN meant the focus was on something OTHER than a romantic relationship, NOT that the fic didn't have graphic sex. (It could have relationships but they weren't the focus of the fic).

graphic body parts talk in part of this (see: man not taking care of his diabetes and suffering gross things).
So...CM is back in my life. He wasn't out of it totally but he pulled back. We've hung out a couple times in the last couple of years....but yeah, not like before.
He's still gone over the cliffs of conspiracy but anyhow.
I went to trivia with Bev (and a few others) on Thursday--I get there early to get a table and get most of my meal eaten before trivia starts. I had just sat down, look over at the door and there was CM! I was surprised cus he doesn't like the energy in the pub. He'd seen me drive by and figured out I was going to trivia (it was raining), so came in to see me. I drove him home after trivia was over--he wasn't enjoying it, so I'd offered to take him home after the song round and then come back but he stayed.
We chatted while I ate--he brought up to date on his brother, Dave--he lives in Dave's basement, rent free. Anyhow, Dave is a diabetic who wasn't taking care of himself (drinking alcohol, sugary pop not taking meds). It got to the point where his foot was literally rotting of his body (apparently the smell was horrible *gag*).
Yep, bits of dead flesh on the floor bad and the house is horribly, hoarder level messy.. *blech* During this time the shower/toilet in the upstairs bathroom didn't work and he couldn't make it downstairs to the other one, so he was shitting/pissing in buckets which CM then had to empty. He was too lazy to call the plumber.
Apparently he wouldn't go to the doctor until CM told he'd watched one brother die (their older brother died of cancer a few years before I met CM), he didn't want to watch his other one die--CM was at the point of tears before Dave would do anything. (When Dave's sort of girlfriend/common law wife who wasn't living with him but has now quit her job to move back in...yeah, she's got issues, Dave treats her like shit--anyhow when CM told her, she had the audacity to blame HIM b/c CM was stubborn, etc. Which, no THAT was DAVE....).
While Dave was gone, CM got a plumber in, he found a cleaner that would clean for 25$ hour (CM had done the bare minimum but he's 64 and it was hard on his body). Dave won't pay $100/week to get his house cleaned up.
Dave now has prosthetic but is legally blind and half deaf--he also has no insurance/registration on his car--but he still expected CM (who let his license lapse but is going to get it renewed) to drive him.
Back in mid june, CM was having bad chest/arm pain and went out to ask Dave to call him an ambulance--no Dave wouldn't do it cus it would cost money (which HE wouldn't've had to pay) Dave's woman drove CM to the hospital--he had bleeding aorta, blockage in his heart and his leg and he was in the hospital for 10 days.
So now he's got a few appointments, Dave's still to cheap to get his car in order for CM to drive it. That man is so tight he squeaks. Like does he think he's gonna take it with him????
Anyhow, I told CM I can drive him to appointments this summer (he's got 2 so far in August) and if it's during the school year, we'll take a look and see if I can take a personal/sick day to drive him. He also wanted to get another phone (he'd let his last one lapse), get the rest of his teeth pulled (he'll qualify for national dental benefit program), get his license back. I told him I'd help him with all that. Today, while talking to him (on Dave's phone), I ordered a sim card and pay as you go phone via koodo for around $200, taxes in. I paid for it, he's got the cash on hand to pay me back and he will. Once it comes in, I'll go up and we'll get it set up and I'll probably take him up to get his driver's license renewed. Also gonna look at his CPP/OSA/supplement to make sure he's registered for it. Probably also enroll him in the dental plan, make sure he's set for senior pharmacare. And probably a few other things.
Wow, sorry for the word vomit, but oh, well. Oh, and I do realize that in his own way CM is using me--he knows I'll offer to help, I always do. But he's my friend and I won't let how he does things affect how I treat him. He's a good friend, in his own way. And I do know he appreciates my help cus he tells me so!
