I totally feel like I'm missing something here... oh well.

☁ Yes, I'm aware I screwed up the daily meme thing already. Whoops. I will maybe catch up on that later.

☁ Happy Mommy's Day to the moms on the flist. ♥ I will possibly be baking something for my own mother in a bit. Possibly. If I feel like it. XD

☁ I... am apparently not a ninja. Which is kind of a disappointment. Just saying. ^_^;;;

☁ New version of Firefox. UGH. Hate it, hate it, hate it. Also LJLogin doesn't work, and that's a HUGE downside. LJLogin is the only reason I haven't packed up and moved over to Chrome, after all. Well. That and all my bookmarks are in FF. The only good thing I have to say about it is that it's definitely a lot faster.

☁ Just found out yesterday that you can make a website with Google. Holy shit, I'm in love. Keep in mind that my previous website-making experience was with Geocities, which was a gigantic pain in the ass. I can COPY/PASTE in this. I can not even explain to you how big of a deal this is to me. I DON'T HAVE TO RETYPE EVERYTHING. And there are actual FONT CHOICES beyond Times, Arial, and Comic Sans. And there are some really pretty backgrounds. I actually had a hard time choosing. I basically copy/pasted my masterlist for now, so everything links back to LJ, but go check it out if you want.

☁ So my mother randomly goes the other day, "So when are you going to do something about your teeth?"

....

Yes. I have dental issues, the biggest one being a large chip in my left front tooth that I've had since I was thirteen. It's mortifying and I'm hyper aware of it all the time. I KNOW. There are several reasons I have yet to do anything about it (and note that I was a kid at the time, so clearly my parents didn't either. So why my mother thinks she has any room to say anything is beyond me). I realize many of those reasons are excuses- I hate doctors, but especially dentists. My teeth are ridiculously sensitive and it's always VERY painful to go, even if I'm just getting a cleaning. Actually. Especially the cleaning. *criiiiiiiiiinge*

But a large part is money. I'm poor, god damn it, and dental work is fucking expensive as all hell. I'll get my teeth taken care of when I randomly win the lottery, alright? In the meantime, unless you're going to give me the small fortune it's going to cost to get my teeth fixed, FUCK OFF.

....and now I'm trying really hard not to cry because this is an incredibly sensitive topic for me and I hate talking about it. I hate even more when my stupid fucking mother tries to make me feel bad about not having what would probably be several thousand dollars in my back pocket. It's not like I've forgotten it's there. I fucking KNOW, alright? I think about it every single day. Hell, every time I open my mouth. It plays a big role in my self esteem issues. I've had people tell me that it's not as noticeable as I think it is, but they were obligated to make me feel better about it. I freaking know how noticeable it is. Her sneak attacking me with it out of nowhere? NOT FUCKING HELPFUL.

☁ And so to not end this on a totally depressing note, I think I'm going to try to make these. Oh, and Mike's (as in, Mike's Hard Lemonade) apparently makes a margarita now. There's the regular lime flavor, raspberry, and peach. I tried the peach and it's pretty yummy. Just. Yanno. FYI. :D

Edit: Tried the muffins- YUCK. I'm not even pawning them off on coworkers, straight into the garbage they go. Too bad.

I tried Chrome, gave up after a few minutes, and went back to Firefox. I couldn't figure out how to deal with plugins in Chrome. I don't use LJLogin anymore (it doesn't work for Dreamwidth anyway) but I'm still with Firefox because it's the devil I know. I might think about Internet Explorer, except that browser has so many holes I don't even know where to begin.

Google Sites pretty! ^_^

*hugs re: dental stuff* I broke a tooth in half when I was a kid. I still have problems smiling and showing the top part of that tooth (which is _dead_, and therefore looks dark and blackish.) The way to fix it is to remove it completely and put an implant in, but I would rather have my original dead tooth than a fake implant. Your mother needs to just STFO and GTFO if she's not going to pay for it.

*hugs*

I started playing with Chrome and I kind of love it- there's an equivalent of LJLogin too, and it DOES work with DW. Just saying. XD I have to use IE for online banking- my bank's website doesn't work properly on anything else. It's alright, but yeah, security is a concern.

*curls up on* So likely that's what they'd have to do with mine too, because the bottom half is totally gone at this point. ;~;

Dental stuff sucks. *hugs*

Oh hey, I didn't know that! What's the equivalent of LJLogin on Chrome?

[verloren1983]

 It's called LJ Account Juggler. Don't be fooled by the name, though, it handles accounts from LJ, IJ, JournalFen, DeadJournal, Scribbld, Dreamwidth, and Inksome. :D The only issue I take with it is that there's nothing that distinguishes on the menu which accounts are on which sites- like color coding the icons for the different sites or something. Kind of a problem when I have the same name here as I do on LJ, it makes it impossible to tell where I'm actually logging in. That's annoying.

Other than that it seems to work more or less the same way though. ^_^;;;

[februaryfour]

Oh, neat. ^_^ I'll keep it in mind for if I ever go back to Chrome, because at the moment Firefox keeps me happy, but it's always good to have options!
