Crisis being one of my friends' marriage falling apart and because I'm friends with both parties involved, I have no fucking idea how to approach this whatsoever

A relative of mine got catfished recently, he fell deep into it and handed over money. His kids and wife confronted him and he tried to play it off as no big deal, going so far as to describe who she claimed to be. I'm not following too closely and not sure if he snapped out of it but it lines up so close to all of the stories about scams posted all across the internet.

People can be terrible and stupid at the same time.

I AM SO TIRED OF FREEZING IN THE WINTER.

Two story house, built in 1912. It has been renovated to be serviceable, beautiful interior features like crown moldings, fireplace, built-in china cabinets, leaded windows. The thermostat is UPSTAIRS. In the BATHROOM. There is a door leading outside on the stair landing that has no frame, as well as a window. The downstairs exterior door doesn't fit on the frame correctly so there are three areas where the cold air just blows right on in. The fix? Plastic and blankets. The electric is shit, throwing a circuit is not uncommon (gotta turn the space heater off before blow drying hair, for example).

Dude quit drinking so he's finally getting to working on the place after 25 goddamn years, and he starts with removing paint from the trim in a room he hasn't even looked at in said 25 years. "My new bedroom!" he says. Yay. Perhaps there are other, more pressing items you should begin with?

(Note to all: a drunk may quit drinking but that doesn't mean they gain IQ points)

My name is not on this pile of shit so I have no way to even get repairs done myself (I have the money! I HAVE THE MONEY!) because they need the homeowner's approval (yes yes, I want to improve this home, it's just a prank bro!) The window in my office doesn't open at all, so I tried to make an appointment after a suffocating summer for a window installer to get an estimate and I'd pay for it. Nope. Tell dude to please make calls, get this done before winter. Nope, he's too autistic, that's always been my job. *sigh*

(I had to make the call for the euthanasia for his/our dog, he literally threw a $100 bill at me to do it. It's always MY fucking job, until it isn't, then it just doesn't get done. Did I mention that our CAT got STOLEN this past October in this fucking nasty ghetto-ass hood? Yeah...)

You know who else was relegated to a stuffy, 12x12 room featuring no openable windows, with the dregs of society surrounding them, but has all the art supplies and gourmet food they could ever want?

Hannibal Lecter.

I do try to be grateful for what I have, as so many have so much less and I remember when I was homeless, so it helps to temper my bitchiness. But still. It's cold, I'm skinny, and I shall whine today.

House has been paid off for a very long time and there's a lot of stuff involved in moving. We also like having money, I am just more apt to spend mine. The development creep moving northward along our neighborhood corridor has finally reached our area; they're already advertising for the apartments they're building nearby and it can only help property values.

I did "crank" the heat to a whopping 71 degrees earlier, checkbook at the ready in case I get chided for my extravagant behavior. I just think it's funny that we were discussing what to have for Christmas dinner this morning and how many lobster tails we should purchase, as I sat there in my fur-lined sweatsuit at the kitchen table rubbing my hands together like some greedy kike to keep my hands warm.

Sorry about your back; a hot bath with epsom salts and colloidal oatmeal for your skin is a nice treat when ye olde bones ache.

Nah, parents have both passed. Am old.

Careful with chiro, you may be better off getting a TENS unit from Amazon. They will hook you up to it, put on soft music, give you an eye mask, and call that a 'treatment.' Then they'll charge you up the ass for it.

I was going to a clinic in a tony northern suburb of my city and, like hair salons, they will fashion their environment to make you feel like you're getting some kind of special experience (as they toss Pantene in your hair and charge you $75 for a deep conditioning repair lmao).

Something very strange happened yesterday that's only happened one other time that I can remember. In a very niche area of the Internet, I came across someone who I used to know from almost a decade ago, completely divorced from the previous shared interest. I didn't make myself known and there's no doubt that it's the same person as the username is very unique. As I said, this happened one other time a couple of years ago. It caught me off guard then and I tried to identify myself but they didn't remember who I was so I don't think I'm going to out myself trying it again.

This happened to me too, a few years ago. Without telling him who I was, I told him I knew who he was and what highschool he went to and to not leak his full fucking facedoxx like a goddamn retard.

I VILL vork in the Christmas, and I VILL like it.

But really, I won't get day off, but I at least work at home. And to those in the Northern Hemisphere, please enjoy the cold. It's unbearably hot in the Southern Hemisphere.

How TF do these clowns get into these circumstances in the first place? I've been on tinder and have my facebook status as single, and never once had a chick try to extract money or corporate secrets.

Hell if I know but most of them probably approach fake profiles themselves.
Lots of uninformed/clueless boomers who don't socialize due to friends and family dying over time will fall for friendly words every time.
 
Im upset because our shower and oven don’t work. Told the slumlord landlord early last week so he could y’know, fix it before Christmas but the fucking cheapskate won’t get an actual repair man. He just calls in this hillbilly who’ll talk your ear off and then make the thing he’s supposed to be fixing worse.
I’m in this terrible loop of trying to make things nice for the holidays, and the mental and physical power it takes to plan and get everything together makes me want to not spend time with my family. We’ll be in the middle of an outing I’ve planned and the whole time I want to be somewhere else, or I have to force myself to focus on the moment.
This isn’t just the holidays I guess it’s all the time.
 
Its getting hot as hell here, power prices are going to shit and even then there are warnings of coming blackouts from all the fucking retards running the AC with the windows open so basically FML and fuck this cuntry too

The next week is supposed to be lovely, with just a smidge above freezing. No snow so it'll be a partially brown Christmas.

I ate some of what I thought was precooked pepperoni sticks but turned out to be raw Chinese specialty sausage so I was made to puke it all up and drink a shot of ever clear so I'm doing swell right now.

Been up late the past few nights; work's had us working severely overtime to get ready for Christmas. So, I'm more than just a little brain-burnt at the moment; can't really sleep in tomorrow, either, as I have plenty of stuff to try and work on before work. Doesn't help that they've got us going in several hours earlier for the past few days, and it looks like the next few days are going to be both more "come in extra early" and "stay extra late" to do whatever bullshit they've got planned.

Aside from that, the burnout's affecting everything else; writing's slowed, as I hit yet another bloody snag on what I want to do. Got one solution figured out for one problem, but several other issues popped back up... including one that I thought I already solved but started to second-guess myself for... reasons. On a more mundane side of things; I've been having a ton of trouble getting back into video games lately; believe me, I'd like to sit down and play, but I keep getting stuck with other things, like writing stuff in particular. That's also not getting into having some difficulties actually finding something to enjoy; I've tried jumping back into Dark Souls, but I'm just so burnt out on Soulslikes at this point that I just... really couldn't bring myself to care.

Next year is shaping up to be a year of great change and I'm worried. I'm starting it off with a dr's appointment where I'll ask about a chronic illness I've suspected I've had for more than a decade and I'm worried this is it and I'll get diagnosed with cancerAIDS.

And I'm going to press harder on relationship issues I've had in the past and if it falls apart, then so be it. If things don't work out with my GF, I'll make do and see if I can rent an apartment where I live currently and pick up the pieces after that. The job market in her city went down the shitter since last summer and I'm worried it won't recover when she's ready for me to move up with her.

I have to do all this. My life as it is right now is unsustainable. Stagnation has been my enemy ever since I was young and right now my life feels pretty damn stagnant.

Pretty damn good. Snuck in an all-day PTO appointment on the calendar at 8:30, blew off a couple of people at work who tried to call me over bullshit I don't care about two days before Christmas, then used a gift card to get some McMuffins and hashbrowns for breakfast.

Now I'm just chilling playing Workers & Resources while I've got a yule log video going on the TV.

I've had issues with my eyeballs "flashing" for years since I've got some benign thing (vitrious detatched) that makes it be like that, but over the workday is just gotten unbearable! I just told my coworkers I had a headache
luckily they're really nice about when I have issues. It's like a giant shadow creature with a strobe light is crawl into my bad eye but I know there's zero chance I'm getting into a doctor office since its Christmas season and afaik it is all neurological/ noncorrectable/ NBD. Not going to tell anyone irl because I don't want to make it a thing. Telling about it online because I am actually somewhat frightened lmao.

Keep your heads up through the holidays everyone! We got like 5 more days tops of Christmas-y stuff!
