I was recently sent the following ,,,,, apparantly someone wasn't satified with the smiles :licklips: and frowns :badmood: so they decided to develop ,,,not emoticons,,, but what they dub assicons.


Maybe they can be used to let off steam.



(_!_) A regular ass


(__!__) fat ass


(!) a tight ass


(_*_) a sore ass


{_!_) a swishy ass


(_o_) an ass that's been around


(_x_) kiss my ass


(_X_) leave my ass alone


(_zzz_) a tired ass


(_E=mc2_) a smart ass


(_?_) a dumb ass


(_$_) money coming out of his ass

I hate it when people feel the need to post exactly the same thing in every section of the forum because they think it will get them more advertising. It doesn't, it just annoys people.

but most of all...
having brainfarts when you think you thought you might of had something to say or do then find yourself sitting there thinking, for 20 wasted minutes, "What was it I was going to...?" Then after going on through the day later finally remeber that it was that Dr's appointment an hour ago or you just leave the room, get into something else, then remember and have to quit whatever to go back n do what you had to in the 1st place. THEN get back to there n forget all over again (that's called a double bubble brainfart). Could be the early onset of Alzheimer's or Dementia...or maybe, just maybe, it could be the medications Posted Image, lol.


A big ditto, gustifer! Used to work construction - assholes and elbows, blowin' and goin' - all that jazz. Now - like you said - I'll roll into the front room, look around, and ... duh. The time. Goddam time loss. I think that's my toughest hurdle. It's hard to go slow.

I've been taught not to hate


So, I dislike...

that I share most of everyone else's dislikes
that we can't kiss standing up
that i do everything all by myself with very little help
that i cant get him to his drs appointments because i have work
that he is always in pain and not able to get better drugs or whatever to get relief from all the pain
that he has blood clots in his legs
that we have not had sex in over a year
that my mans brother, wife and their 5 kids don't help me more like they should
that i have not had 10 minutes to myself since the accident
that i have to get up 3 hours before I have to be at work to take care of my man and my children
that we dont get to lay in bed anymore together
that his brother, his wife, and their 5 kids have to stay with us
this website is so addictive that i check this site more than i check my mailbox at home
that i have no friends and live far from my family
that i get frustrated sometimes and want to get awayi but cant
that i have these feeling
that i am being negtive and i know that i need to be more positive and seek the Lord
that i am tired and want to go to sleep but i cant
that people just stare at us when we are out...but I kiss him very passionately when I think they are really looking
that people think i am this great saint for what i'm doing for Vernon, wtf!
that peolple say how good i am and they say that there heart pours out to me and family BUT NONE OF THEM EVER ASK TO HELP DO SOMETHING TO GIVE ME A DAMN BREAK
that people always ask, Do you need anything...knowing the f--- that i do.
that i have to stop because i keep finding more and more thing to dislike..................

I hate complaining! Despite my accident, my injury, and the hard work of my ongoing recovery, my life is still pretty good. I have many, many things to be thankful for. Thus, I hate feeling guilty that I'm complaining when there are others who have it far worse than me. Notwithstanding, my life is far more inconvenient than it was prior to my SCI and although I am managing, it is not as it once was.

So I do feel somewhat justified by my grumble which is that I hate that if I am in my wheelchair out and about in my community (for which I still occasionally use my WC), I am at the exact right height to breathe in the cigarette smoke of an AB individual walking around and holding their cigarette.

I live in a hilly community so if I am walking behind a smoker, it takes some effort to wheel uphill and overtake them to dodge the poisonous cloud of their cigarette smoke.

I hate it, hate it, hate it. I hate it!

Sorry smokers but it's disgusting. It gets in your hair and into your skin and in the fibres of the material your clothes are made of and it makes your skin grey and your lungs look like burnt steak...and it often kills you slowly and painfully.

I hate that I can no longer dodge around a smoker. Blahgth, blahgth, blahgth.

I hate passing a glass/mirror and seeing myself in a wheelchair.

I hate when people look at me with pity.

I hate loosing my cool and screaming uncontrollable.

I hate having so little control in my life.

that I am back again telling what I dislike and it it snew stuff
that my man does not back me up when it comes down to his brother
that his brother has some disrespectful kids that i wanna slap the shit out of
that my man is so darn unappreciative
that I cant leave him without feelinf guilty
that we dont communicate and frankly i really dont care anymore
that i am ready for his brother familyto move the hell outta my house but I gave them weeks (1 more week to go)
that this website is so addictive to tell what all I dislike
that i just had an argument with my man about his brother and his family
that i have to go home to my house and his brother and his family are there to piss me of just at the site of them.
that i need to cook but I be damned if i cook for that family that eats aloaf of bread a day.

I hate the Fact that people judge me because i am obese and in a wheelchair, thinking that i am too lazy to walk.

I hate when I am around some para's and quad's that i get attitude from them because i have limited use of my legs.

I hate Doctors telling me to "tough" it out, or suck it up.

I hate the fact that when i meet new people they always act as though i am mentally challenged or stupid.

I hate the fact that when i get upset, i can't talk about it.

I hate the fact that just taking a dump takes 2 hours!

I hate that there are no treatments and no cures.
I hate that there is no SCI awareness month like there is for breast cancerand that we don't have the same kind of support.
I hate that we don't have a colored ribbon that represents the people living with SCI
I hate that our president is against stem cell research.
I hate that SCI is an injury that we can not recover from, that for most of us we don't get better and have little hope of recovery.
I hate that I see the glass 1/2 empty and not 1/2 full.

I wish ................. for so many things

Hmmm. Perfect night for a bitchfest.

-I cry when I remember I'm not able to dance, cycle, or row anymore.
-I dislike having to tell people I have a spinal cord injury because they have no clue what the cauda equina is and I don't have the time for an anatomy lesson.
-I get angry at other gimpy folk because they assume that my life isn't that hard comparatively.
-I dislike cold weather making my legs hurt more, but somehow they get clammy under my braces?
-I dislike insurance companies, full stop.
-I get frustrated when none of my old (and truly awesome) wardrobe fits me.
-I'm sad because of how broke I am now.
-I freaked out tonight when my cat got out of the house and there wasn't anything I could do.
-I miss feeling comfortable with my body.
-I dislike when my mom and my family figure that I'll be fine if I keep working at it.
-I cried (later) when my aunt told me that she felt bad for me.
-I wish that my body would sleep for more than three or four hours in a go.
-I dislike feeling so much frustration with my life.
I am a palm tree - I bend, but do not break, in the winds and storms.

Just one, that has not been covered.
I hate that since I can walk some, sometimes, people don't get why I am in the chair.
I hate fake sympathy, I hate all pity, but am fine with real sympathy... I express it to others and am fine with the real thing, rare as it is.

OH... I also hate the "what will I wake up with tomorrow" syndrome.
It's either some new infection, something I can't do anymore, new or worse pain, or just waking up in the hospital again.

i miss my kids
i miss my farm
i miss my friends (whoim i thought "were" friends)
i miss my jobs
i miss my horse
i miss my tractor
i miss my dog
i miss my wife

i miss people depending on me
i miss being part of something
i miss mattering
i miss being someone
i miss being missed when i'm gone
i miss someone caring if i'm late
i miss being a carrier, instead of carried
i miss solving problems, instead of being a problem
i miss being included, instead of avoided because of accessibility
i miss spontaneity



i hate that during rough patches like the past few months, that i sometimes forget there is always someone who has it 100 times worse than me....i hate feeling selfish for not being more thankful....i wish my accident had changed me more than just physically

Hate the burning 24/7 in my butt & legs!

From what I can see in your photo I would be chasing after you if you were around here. I have opposite prob;lems since I am a walking para people see me as able bodied and expect me to do normal activities which I can do up to a point but then I over do it and wind up back in the chair.

[quote name='rmorgan' date='Aug 20 2008, 12:46 AM' post='69594']
I'm tired of the "guys have it much better than women" standpoint...

And I think the only reason why people even talk about "i was doing that right outta rehab" or "i'm at a higher level and can do that" is just to push people that might not be trying as hard as they think that can.

I don't believe that anyone on this forum would right away tell someone or make someone think they are stupid or incapable. It's just to push and give help, regardless of how others may respond to their comments or remarks. We're all here to help one another...

I hate being right handed and having a quad right hand.

Incidentally, I also hate trying to remove hot liquids from a microwave.
