I did it! I actually did it!

I went grocery shopping yesterday which I haven't done for about 3 weeks and I did what I have been planning to do: I broke my chain of buying things in pairs!
For those of you that don't know I have a strange desire to buy things in pairs. Two salad dressings, two boxes of cereal, two this, two that... it's just something that ile does. The only two items I bought in a pair was milk because I'll drink at least two gallons in 2 weeks and cranberry sauce because I love it and I only think to buy it this time of year. LOL.
I know it sounds stupid, but I feel victorious.

The Devil's Pill

So the latest anti-crazy drug I'm on is Paxil. Yes I've tried a lot of them. What else are you going to do when you're a major depressive? Oy!
Anyway, Paxil has got to be the worst fucking drug I have ever taken. It has to be as bad as crack! If you miss a day's dose it totally messes you up. I'm talking major dizziness, aural and visual disturbances... strange shit.
Something tells me this probably isn't any better for the illin' ile. The problem: weaning off of the drug is a painful process. You can't just quit it or half the damn thing to be weaned. You literally have to shave slivers off of it, or it will make you really sick including psychotically suicidal.
I'm guessing I missed a dose or two sometime in the last week because vertigo and I are very friendly as of late. Word to the wise: NEVER let your doctor put you on Paxil. Tragic.

Un-freakin' Believable

Ok... last night my DVD drive on my 3 1/2 month old laptop failed. I called Toshiba who I have my warranty through and they told me they didn't have a warranty on file for me. Ok I paid these people hundreds of dollars a couple of months ago. Then the guy goes, "Ohhh, there's notes here that state since your product is a "Z" re-conditioned laptop it isn't available to be under warranty. The last operator put those notes in there but STILL sold me a damn warranty. Of course I'm out of my limited warranty with Tiger Direct, so I'm completely screwed. That's another thing.
Tiger Direct. I purchased the initial laptop from them which was D.O.A. I sent it back and finally a month later they sent me the one I have now. Two months after that the fucking DVD drive dies. What the fuck!? I bought an IPOD dock with speakers and the damn thing hums when the drive spins up. I just have to conclude that with all the problems with the products and customer service that Tiger Direct will NEVER get any of my business again. They sell flawed shit that they won't even touch after it leaves their hands when there is a problem.
Son of a bitch, thanks for the customer service... assholes.
