I believe the symptoms can include dizziness and euphoria, loss of balance, pains and aches in the mandible area, genital shrinkage and an inexplicable need to listen to trance.

Hahaha.

That happened first.

These days it manifests in a more slow-moving anaphylactic skin reaction which is pretty horrific.

ie: I get what look like chemical burns appearing all over my body within days or hours of doing it, which itch like hell. Not fun.

I shouldn't give a toss but I do. I'm dumbfounded by the sentence Chris Brown got for beating the shit out of Rihanna:

“He’ll spend 180 days doing community labor (8 hours a day — 1440 hours total) — which is, in effect, hard labor. He’ll do his service in Virginia which is where Brown lives. A Virginia law enforcement officer told us Brown will be picking up trash, pulling weeds and washing fire trucks.
He gets 5 years probation for FELONY assault — he pled guilty. He’ll get supervised probation. He’ll have to come back to court every three months.
He must enroll in a domestic violence counseling program.
If Brown violates probation, he could get up to 4 years in prison.
Brown is now a convicted felon and loses the the following rights: To own a gun, to sit on a jury, subject to search and seizure without a search warrant and he now has limitations on travel.”

Yeah, cause washing fire trucks is hard labour. The law with regards to celebrities is fucking riduclous. It pisses me off that this piece of shit coward is going to be at home tonight sipping Moet and laughing his ass off.

tbh if Rhianna is still with him...I don't have any sympathy for her.

She's not. She testified against him in court and STILL no jail time. Pfff

Law regarding celebrities? Mate, that punishment is fucking harsh.

My ex was glassed in the neck by a previous partner - cunt got a 12 month good behavior bond. Because he was pissed. And said sorry.

Gotta agree. Actually a relatively harsh punishment. For someone with no prior convictions commiting a low-level assault with no premeditation, most people would get a small fine and a good behaviour bond. I'm not defending what he did, but I reckon they made an example of him. Also keep in mind how public it was, that he is now universally hated, and the fact that his career is effectively finished.

I say stall - you is sick, which is reason enough. You might have to wait for a new appointment, but surely it's worth it to feel good about it? I don't think I've ever heard a good tattoo story that starts that way...

Hugs for the rest. Boys? Absolutely fucked if I know. I've regressed to not even being able to get replies out of someone I thought was a friend

Yes, they are. I dont hate on the male race.

but forever after, i am a female. So its easier to feel as if half the world is fucked than all of it.

finally found a design i love, and its truly classy, art deco and beautiful, and he has drawn it 'tattoo' style, and it looks like
some hawiian flowers with a tribal edge. not it at all.
i have just bought some tracing paper and will spend some time today trying to get it right.

Fuck that off. If he's got the wrong vibe and you ain't happy, get him to do it again/take it somewhere else. Neither are very fun, but you don't want to be stuck with something you hate just to avoid being a pain in the arse.

Lizkins · Post by **Lizkins** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 7:53 pm

not being a negative nancy here, but be happy you even have a job.

in the last month my work has copped 70 odd redundancies, all the service staff and some lawyers/admins being forced to work 9 day fortnights and be paid less. pay freezes for most staff except those that got a promotion which were about 10 people

to add insult to this, we got our letters saying we weren't getting a pay increase (not even CPI) and then my two bosses spent that day sending my team emails saying how awesome we were as we made 140% of budget, came second in the firm and ranked first in a massive tender we just put out.

and on top of this, i am doing the job of two people, don't have time to eat breakfast, have 10 minutes to grab lunch and have smoke and then come back and keep working, work late every night, and also deal with a bitch arse boss who likes to rip people a new one on a daily basis. The stupid bitch was ripping into a lawyer tonight because she hadn't finished something yet even though she is working 12 hour days, i had to calm the lawyer down, and then the bitch arse boss tried to go me over something that she thought hadn't been done, but then the client sent me an email thanking me profusely and another Partner in another team did too. stick it up your arse bitch!!!!
