What's YOUR Problem, Huh?

[JSngry]

Mine is that I keep having random cans in a 12-pack of diet soda freeze and then expand to the point of either distending, unseaming, or splitting open the individual can. Not all cans in the 12-pack, and not all 12-packs. Just random cans in random 12 packs. Of diet soda, not regular.

So hey bub, excuse me if I'm a little sour, what's it to you anyway?

Too bad that Steve wasn't Eddie, then you could've had Eddie & Edye. Steve could've found a Stevie, Steve & Stevie, Eddie & Edye, let's call the whole thing off, pain and suffering mitigated fully and timely.

But I'd still have some damn random soda-freezing.

My problem is I have too much stuff. I know it makes no sense to have so much stuff. I know how expensive it is to retain so much stuff. And I have too much stuff.

All problems have solutions, but I don't like the solution to this one.

Stuff sucks! I have the same problem.

If your stuff is good, it doesn't suck!

Is the soda in the same fridge as the milk-that-never-expired?

My problem is that I have a rather simple personal life (and barely even keep a calendar for myself -- and that's been the story of my life for decades)...

...but in my 9-5 job, I manage the calendar of the single busiest person in the entire organization I work for, with a calendar that makes me dizzy just looking at it (with 6-10 different appointments every singe day, week in and week out).

My problem?  My problems?  Where to begin...

And with my memory what it's become, how will I know when I'm done with the list?  Now why'd I come into the bedroom?

Nah, that one's in the house. The one with the random soda-freezings in the garage. I guess it's what you'd call a "beer fridge", except I don't really drink beer these days. so it's full of sodas, produce for later in the week, stuff that doesn't need to be in main inside fridge (which, really, I can't stand, very inefficient use of space, imo, but who listens to me about that until they figure it out themselves, which is after we've already bought the damn thing and used it for over a year? But your milk can have eternal life, or close to it, so there's that.).

What puzzles me is that there's no discernible pattern to the freezings, not in chronology, not in where they are on the shelf, nor where they are inside the carton. I've tried adjusting the temperature, it's one of those cheapo models where fridge and freezer temperatures are controlled by the same setting, and a pretty wide variance of acceptable-for-both settings doesn't alter anything.

And it's just diet sodas, which of course suggest different freezing points due to the ingredients/chemical mixture, but doesn't explain why the randomness, especially between individual cans. Or why some cans just bulge at the ends, and others split wide open and leave frosty frozeness all over the place, and others remain deliciously chilly and drinkalicious. You'd think that if one can would freeze, they all would. But no, this thing must have a trickster freeze-lazer that does what it does when it feels like it.

I'm stumped. Worse places to be, sure, but still, stumped. And yeah, I know, diet sodas are poison, etc., but one problem at a time, ok?

My problem is that in just over 30 days  I turn 50, and my non-negotiable goal was to reach a size 36 pants by then.  I'm close, but the pace of weight loss/body redistribution is so variable I can't be sure if it will happen or not.  I should probably concentrate on the fact that I was 210 last weekend and that is 50 pounds or a little more from my high before I started this long, long slog to something resembling fitness. 

By the way Jim, first permanent change I made was diet soda. Water and iced tea is it for me.

My problem?

Why is it some cancers curable and mine isn't?

Then I remind myself that Big Pharma is more concerned with Erectile Dysfunction than they are with curing cancer. No money in it.

 

What was I thinking?

Man, Tim. Being the kid of a parent who had to deal with that, your post strikes me hard. It sucks, that's all I can say. I wish you strength.

My problems? They are not important.

I also didn't know what to say, but now I realise I should have posted earlier. When my father had cancer sometimes people you expected support from hardly reacted at all for whatever reason.

I'm very sorry to hear your cancer is not curable.

Michael, I too enjoyed that book!  I reviewed it May 25.  Toward the end I came to the conclusion that she is a nut, but I still think that her ideas are good.

I'm about a third of the way through.  I like her writing style - very Japanese.  I loved the portions about not telling your parents about the stuff you're throwing out.

Thanks to all.

Been a long, hard ride this past year and a half...but I am not going down without a fight.

Sorry to be such a downer.

I'm with everyone else who has responded, Tim. I understand if you do not want to get into it here, but what is your situation? If it helps to "talk" about it, I know this community is as good a place as any to draw from.
