I knew my parents were getting older. But every once in a while, something beyond the greying hair and the slowed pace imposed by arthritis takes me aback. Yesterday, it was my dad’s increasing dithering. He’d asked me to lend him my car, since his own was in the shop and he’s got a drive [...]

Dear Redwood Credit Union at 241 California Street, San Francisco:
I wish that the guy at your 800 number, who I spoke with on Saturday, had told me that your ATM machines automatically shred every card that they eat (for no good reason, by the way, since I had money in the account and the BH’s [...]
Dear Redwood Bank at 241 California Street, San Francisco:
I cannot believe your ATM machine ate my ATM card. And that I chose to use my ATM in a far-away-from-my-house-city in a local bank, that isn’t open on Saturdays, in order to get my card back. I also can’t believe you can’t release my [...]

Dear BoltBus:
Your online ticket ordering system sucks. It froze me out twice before I could get to an order confirmation screen, and then when I tried to print the confirmation, your screen froze up again– so that I had to email your customer service to get a confirmation number. If your busses are anything like [...]
Stuck door on the train
stuck seat over the mechanical box
stuck train in the rain
sitting, stuck, waiting,
whining inside about being
stuck going to work.
Move to the next train, please,
be kicked by the 2 year old
sitting next to you, no thank you,
crying, screaming, kicking,
inconsolable.
I’ve had days like that too, kid
today’s one of them.
You’ll learn to clam up,
clamp down,
clamp [...]
I knew I shouldn’t have posted about working on my site. My power cord finally crapped out on me, leaving with with a crap cord and a beat battery, and no laptop. They’re not just resting, they’re dead.
Off to MicroCenter I go. And if I come home with a new laptop, well, who could blame [...]

An assortment of things in my head right now…
I am enjoying the new/old chair with the fancy upholstered seat my friend L. re-cycled to me after getting a new dining set. It’s just the right height and depth for sitting at the table with my legs up on the chair across from me, while [...]
Depakote? Trileptal? If you’ve had an experience you’re willing to share, I’d appreciate any info you’d be willing to give, either in comments or at bipolarlawyercook @ gmail.com.
Thanks. I swear I’m just going to get certified in Traditional Chinese Medicine and be done with it. (Don’t laugh. I actually find massage and acupuncture healing. TCM’s [...]
I swear, I post about all the side effects mostly so that it pops up in layperson’s terms when someone’s having weird side effects to particular medications. Which is my way of justifying that I am also whining a little. OK, a lot, but I think I am justified, since I am turning into the [...]

Yesterday morning on my way in to work…
Oh my God, WHY is it taking so long for this line to get to the front? All I want is a dozen doughnuts! I swear they’re conspiring against me. This always happens! I hate this, I am never shopping here again, I should totally leave. But I [...]
