Yeah I know I have my bouts of being an ass on /toy/. Usually it's because I either am ill-informed or I disagree with someone and lose my temper. I think though that I'm a little more touchy lately than usual because of some things that are going on in my life right now

My partner (I call her my wife but we are not legally married) Sabrina is unable to work for the foreseeable future because her right knee is in End stage Osteoarthritis (this means there is NO Cartilage between the bones) and she has to lose weight before she can have a knee replacement surgery. That means we are...

Waiting for the Disability Insurance to tell us if she'll be getting any help
Down 43 percent of our total income because she's not able to work and bring in a check
I'm scrambling to grab as many hours at Red Robin as I can so that I can at least control the hemorrhaging of funds
Trying to prove myself to my bosses so I can be put into the MIT program (Which would mean more $$$ and maybe the ability for Bree to just stay home and not worry about $$$)
Failing the above I will have to look for a Second Job to make ends meet and keep up with the bills.


I don't mean to take this shit out on anyone here. I don't mean to sound beat up, beat down, and depressed. I don't want people to think I'm blaming the world for the problems I'm having. I just don't have much patience right now for the normal prodding and poking we give each other.

I just want everyone to know I'm not trying to be an ass on purpose. I'm just dealing with a lot of shit IRL and I will probably lose my mind sometimes.

I'm sorry in advance and I know this doesn't EXCUSE any bad behavior.. I just want you all to know where it's coming from because I do truly love this board and the interactions I have with the people here even if we do disagree on some things now and then.
