Global warming was always a bad layman’s term for the type of climate change that we are seeing. It seems to indicate a universal warming effect, when this is not necessarily true. The oceanic temperature is rising though, which is bad news.
Indeed, if it continues at the current rate, we will probably see more extreme weather, be it hot droughts, freezing blizzards, or tropical weather systems, etc.The earth has been in a state of climate change (slow and fast depending on what period of time you look at) since the earth first had a climate! The main problem, now, is that the earth is doing something it hasn’t had to do before– support the largest population of human beings ever– and so even though the world’ll keep on spinnin’, it might mean some hard times for us humans.

Weather is a universal language. Everyone has it. Everyone is allowed to complain about it! XD

My art: featherdust.comFebruary 25, 2011 at 3:19 pm #836321😡 GRRR!!!!!!!! 😡 I AM SO **%^&%^#$%^&**ING 😡 ANGRY RIGHT NOW I could just scream!! 😡 When I opened my checking account at my current bank 5 or so years ago, I was living at home, I was young. My mom wanted to be on my account too, “just in case”, worst case scenario, if something happened to me, that LEGALLY she would have access to my money-cuz if Im dead, it ain’t doin me no good. Well, I got older, and as I’m sure most of you went through this with your parents-when you get older, you start to develop your own beliefs and thoughts and you bump heads with your parents…and move out. (in theory at least) ANYWAY, I moved out and moved in with my boyfriend/significant other. We’ve now been together 2.5 years.
WELL my mother still has a bank issued debit card with her name and her PIN number she picked, that links to MY ACCOUNT.
She doesn’t ever use it unless I tell her to pick something up for me if she’s already at the store, or sometimes she’ll ask to use the card number, and she’ll put that amount in my bank to cover it. I haven’t minded that.
BUT the last few months since Ive been saving up for a car, when I get any money in, I leave out enough for gas or things I NEED, and transfer the rest into my savings so I wont be tempted to spend it on misc. every day things.
So there’s not ususally money in my checking.Well just now I checked my bank. I live, actually in the city of Houston, my parents live in Tomball (NW suburbs) and my mom works in Conroe, (N of Houston)
Looking at my account, I see two charges-one for Valero (gas station) in Tomball and another for a Valero in Conroe. 👿 WTF?! I wonder who could have done that, hmm? Did anyone ASK me if they could use my card? H311 NO! Did anyone TELL me they were GOING to use my card or that they HAD used my card? Nooooo. Apparantly my dad had taken it. He HAD to have KNOWN it wasn’t his/mom’s account because they bank with a different bank than me. Were they GOING to tell me? Who knows?! Two charges for gas over drew my account 😡
ITS NOT A CREDIT CARD!! 🙄 THERE HAS TO BE MONEY TO USE THE DARN THING!! 🙄
UGH!!! Everyone’s your friend until there’s money involved. If you dont already know that, HEAR IT NOW. Everyone is your friend until there’s money involved.
I know they are my parents, but they are adults, and they are acting like children, stealing money from me. As soon as they pay me back, I’m taking my mom off my account and cutting up her card. I loan them money (I lent them $1,000 from my savings with the PROMISE they’d pay me back in a week-its been 3 weeks, no money yet-Dad says he’ll get it to me today. Who knows?!)
OH and when I try to mention it to them “Hey *cough* um…..so…like…..I don’t suppose you have any money to spare?” “How much” “Well…like…the $XXX that you borrowed?” They get all upset, my mom starts crying. DUDE! Don’t borrow what you can’t pay back (and my fault too-dont lend what you can’t afford to loose) When I had my car wreck in 2007 and got the settlement money, I lent them $5,000 to pay taxes to save their house-they lost the house anyway. BUT they also bought me my first car (the one that was wrecked) and paid insurance on it, so I eventually wrote it off.I love them but I am so ^%$$#$&&*%ing sick of them always coming to me for money! I am 24, they are in their 60’s. They should not be coming to ME for money! I think I am going to put my younger cousin on my account. She’s family, we are close, and I *know* for a fact, she would not use my card unless I told her to.
AGH!!!! *still steaming*
*exhales* That is all. Over and out.
February 25, 2011 at 8:06 pm #836322Wow, that is really frustrating. I am so sorry that that happened, and I really hope they do pay you back! *hugs*
February 25, 2011 at 11:43 pm #836323Wolfen, the best thing is to have your own account. 🙂 Even my husband and I have separate accounts. Separating our finances was the biggest step to saving our marriage.
February 26, 2011 at 1:59 am #836324WTF! My PS3 got the yellow might of death! Gah! I love playing my final fantasy games on there….and it will take me FOREVER to get the funds to replace it. It isn’t under warranty. 🙁 *cry*
February 26, 2011 at 9:35 pm #836325So I work at an old theatre downtown in my small home town. On the weekends I work 10 hour days with no break (I don’t mind as I’m sitting around browsing the internet for over half that 10 hours!). I am also the only one downstairs to take orders, answer the phone, etc, so when I need to take a bathroom break I lock up the box office, put up a sign saying that I’ll be right back, and I go do my business.
Well the other day I locked up and went to take a bathroom break and about 30 seconds after I shut the stall door I hear someone come into the theater (it’s really old and echo-y so you can hear pretty much ANYTHING that goes on when there’s no show playing) – she immediately starts holaring “hello? HELLO??” then proceeds to COME INTO THE BATHROOM and knock on the stall door, yelling “HELLO? YOU HAVE A CUSTOMER!!”
😡 😡 😡
I was appalled!! Who in the world does that?? My guess is that she saw me heading towards the bathroom from from outside when she started walking in – I didn’t see her come in but she made a beeline straight for the bathrooms. UGH. I swear, if I wasn’t so angry I would have told the lady that I work a 10 hour shift ALONE and when I need to use the restrooms, the box office is temporarily CLOSED! Of course I was too stunned to think straight, so I told her (from the stall!!) that I would be out in a moment, and she sighed loudly and stomped out, waiting for me with this terrible frown when I got back to the box office.
WTF!! People truly need to get over themselves and this sense of entitlement that half the people that walk in here carry around. You are not any more or less important than me, lady! Get over it and let me pee!!! 😡

wow… knocked on the stall door… that is unreal. You’re right, I think I also would have been too stunned to say the comment I am thinking right now.
February 27, 2011 at 12:07 am #836327Yeral, next time someone does that, remind the person that there are much bigger problems in the world then waiting for 2 minutes for someone to finish using the bathroom. She could be in Iraq or Afganistan being shot at, stuck in the middle of a revolt in Egypt, or lost in Haiti living in squalor.
I hate people who think the world revolves around them like that. I deal with them day in and day out at work myself.
