How was Tatiana Maslany not given an Emmy nomination?!?!

Really glad that The Normal Heart and Fargo got lots of love, but Tatiana deserves an Emmy!

[Natalka]

^ Oh, I agree with you about Tatiana - glad Fargo got so many noms, same with Orange is the new black.

In general life isn't easy. Sometimes it looks that way, but everyone has problems. *hugs*

yup...facebook can be really depressing. alot of people just like to BRAG.
i try to look on the brite side. i am so blessed just to have central air! there are so many seniors that cant afford an air conditioner b/c they are on a fixed income.
sure i have RA (arthritis)..but at least i can walk to the store.

we are moving out west and we want to do a fast sale - so in 3 days we are fixing the holes, fixing dry wall and then prepping the place for viewing. I hope I can dry wall cause I have been nominated to do it and have no experience.

I don't understand the obsession with Pandora. People pay $80 for a BEAD? A FRICKIN BEAD? You can get something like that probably handcrafted for you for 1/3 of the price... Yes they look cool, but you collect a couple of them and you have the price of a first car or a computer or college tuition. SOME OF THESE BEADS ARE SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS. FOR A BEAD. ONE BEAD.

I am clearly not in the right business if fools and their money are so easily parted by beads and bracelets one could probably make for a fraction of the cost of one bead by venturing to their local craft store or ebay.. What is the appeal of these things? You could by nicer jewelry for less.

I have wonder the same thing myself.

I'm so frustrated by not really being able to walk. A few months ago I had a stress fracture on my foot, which seriously impaired my ability to walk, which is tough for someone who walks pretty much everywhere and spends her lunch out for walks. It has since healed but on my other foot I now have a sprained ligament with potential tendon damage (probably done overcompensating for the stress fracture). Now both of my knees are killing me because I'm gaining weight due to my inactivity and I'm not walking properly. I'm dreading the crutches that will probably be coming soon. Public transit is not a friend to those on crutches.

I think generally they're more of a keep sake, as opposed to jewellery you actually wear. I can't see how wearing a bracelet with beads that large would be comfortable. That being said I think they're ugly and I'm sure in a few more years the Pandora craze will be over and most of the stores will be out of business.

So very sorry you are having such trouble. Hoping things get better for you soon!



My rant for the day - it's been awful for the past few weeks - the darned CROWS!

They won't shut up! Ever! Gah! I love birds, just not these!

Lol my aunt gave me one 3 years ago when I had dd with a baby charm, never worn it in my life. Personally I think they're pretty ugly :/

[torontogal12]

Don't get it either. I think they're cheap-looking and ugly

Almost identical situation to you, but two years ago. People on TTC are jerks and a half. I also gained weight and haven't been able to lose it .

Don't have advice except it will be over eventually

I am pretty agree.I think people will buy them and dont care about the price because it is for an important event or commiting in their life. Long short story I had to honore a promess for someone of my familly...regive a ring...they do that also...to his ex gilfriends...the bill was still in there 80$..for something simple..I was shocked.
