🤬Bitch Bitch thread

Fuck I hate having to buy shit over again because I can't find something. I've searched every god damn inch of this house, garage, and shed and there's no sign of my fucking programmable timer.
 
Same dog’s humping my leg, I had to go buy another timer for irrigation today, damn kids I’m pretty sure
 
I can’t blame it on anyone. I put it away since I only used it for bitties at night. Now I need it for the heat and UVB for my bearded dragon when I’m in Tenn. the thing is near the size or a brick, how the fuck do I lose that :facepalm:

Also, fuck Walmart and the dumb shits that shop there. Also, how is there always people parked up front in the no parking zone every time I go. Every. Time. It’s not a loading zone or drop off for your fat fuck of a wife you sorry cunts.
 
I try not to, but it’s so close and cheaper for non food stuff.

Also fuck the scum bag who set their coke can under my truck behind a wheel while I was inside. Of course I saw it and kicked it away. But fuck people who litter and especially for trying to hide it under peoples vehicles.
 
Speaking of dress, yesterday I tried a new church. Since the new pastor at y last church is a flaming liberal and he's worked that into his sermons, I've been church hopping. Primarily avoiding mega churches until yesterday, with about 200 people of all races. Had to be 45/45/10 white/black/hispanic or asian.

Anyway, not that it wasn't already obvious, but damn do black people dress way better than white people for church. White people have fully embraced the casual wear for church. Which I'm cool with. I use to adhere to that "show respect for the venue", but change with the times. And it's Florida, so fuck dressing up, though I won't resort to shorts. But black folk, still an event for them.

As an aside, while I liked certain things about this church, part of the message extended into what I'd call grifting. Tell people God is always there, that he'll always give you strength, yada yada, no problem there. But to flat out tell people as an outright fact that God will answer prayers and cure your arthritis, cancer, etc., because God grants miracles and heals. Stop lying to people FFS. Yes, studies show there's a slight difference in people recovering who have strong faith, however that's because it's shown that happy and positive thoughts affect stress levels, mental health, etc. that contribute to the bodies healing abilities. The same way old people who mentally give up and say, "I'm ready to go" can die rather quickly. It's the power of the mind.

I feel like it's irresponsible for a pastor to tell people that God will solve your physical illnesses. It's a horrendous way to go about it.
 
Maybe God is healing some of them. What you want the preacher to say? If you have cancer, God doesn't care so don't bother. He's busy helping Oscar and Grammy winners.

I haven't gone to church in years. Just don't feel I need the venue to connect with God. I'd consider it if looking for a nice girl to marry though lol.
 
Got in my car to get a haircut on my lunch break. Roll my windows down to get some ventilation. Start to roll 'em back up. I hear something shatter in my driver's side door. That window will no longer roll up.

Thankfully, it was halfway up already and I was able to lift it up with my hands so hopefully my car won't get soaked when it rains before I can get it fixed.

The barber shop was closed. Fuck.

Well that's a part of it. Sobriety is f'n boring, church isn't a bad place to meet decent people.

But to answer your question, I've heard plenty of pastors and read it in books that made it pretty clear that the purpose of prayer is to give you strength to handle adversity. It's a mental state. It's a huge misconception of prayer is that God is sitting around waiting to answer your selfish f'n prayers. The idea is that you prayer for the strength to do God's will and through your own actions, you discover the strength to face anything. If you even think about it, why the fuck is God gonna go, sure....you've been a cunt this whole time, but now that you need a million dollars or get cancer, now you're gonna pray and I'm gonna perform a miracle?

To refer to a quote I once read, "It's not that prayer changes things. It's that prayer changes You, who changes things"

That's some shit luck....not even get the haircut. Everyone I've known, including myself, who needed a window replaced was able to get it done within hours be it at the shop or mobile repair.

[glow=red]Glad you've kept this up. [/glow]

[glow=red]Give 'em a special occasion and the Hispanics do it up sharp as well. [/glow]

[glow=red]I'm kind of on the fence with this. Getting over a cold is not God's miraculous healing but what happened with my heart attack in 2020 was nothing short of a miracle. [/glow]

Yeah man, December of 2020. I'd been having a weird, crampy kind of discomfort in my throat for a couple of months prior. Never associated it with my heart, I thought it was something going on with my esophagus. It would come and go and wouldn't last for very long so I kept putting off getting it checked.

December 4, 2020 it got bad, like bad indigestion and it wouldn't quit this time so I finally went to the ER to find out what was going on, still didn't think it was anything with my heart. They took an EKG and holy shit, the night took off! When the hospital staff gets in a hurry you know something's bad wrong. Chest x-ray showed that 3 arteries in my heart were clogged including the one that carries blood from the right side of the heart to the left side, known in medical circles as "occluded left anterior descending or "LAD". That one was completely blocked which meant the left side of my heart wasn't getting any blood, which means I was going to go into arrest any minute. That's called "The Widowmaker". They tried to do the balloon thing to see if they could open it up but couldn't get it through the blockage so they had to do emergency open-heart surgery for a triple bypass. That went well but I spent a week in cardiac intensive care. I did some research on it and the survival rate of the Widowmaker is 6% outside of a medical facility, 12% if you're inside. Put another way, 88% of people who have that kind of heart attack die from it. I not only survived, I have no tissue damage.

My point to Juggs is this; God gets a lot of credit for healings that are really just the body healing itself but every once in a while He steps in.
 
To each their own. To me it sounds like intuition or smart enough to seek medical help when something feels off. The rest, thank Doctors and technology.

Maybe miracles exist, I just don't see it. I've been clinically dead and resuscitated. I assume the Dr's saved my life, not God bringing me back. :beatsme:
