To my best understanding it is not a matter of taking or rejecting what hand you are dealt, but rather when sometimes inevitable occurs, instead of rejecting it's more efficient to retrieve the POSITIVE aspects of the situation and modify it to your likeness. Lemons are not intended for your likeness, but rather for your creativity, as to how one handles the most inconvenient and discouraging event.

Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)
1] What you CAN NOT post.
You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene
You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)
The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!
2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.
This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.
3] Keep the focus.
Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.
4] Behave as you would in a public location.
This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.
5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.
Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.
6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.
Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.
7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.
- PLEASE READ -
Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.
8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)
If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

Have to bring this thread back because I don't feel like making a new one for such a stupid topic....
I am feeling very BAD today.
I kindof dislike everybody and everything in the world today. Let me tell you a little 'story' through a list of things I hate. (Hate is a strong word, but at the moment I feel like throwing those damn lemons at anyone who crosses my path. I just screamed at my poor mom and I don't know how to apologize, I called up my ex and ripped into him and THAT didn't even make me feel better, and, to make matters worse, it feels like the upper half of my stomach is trying to crawl out of my esophagus. Ouchy )
1) I hate getting conflicting information
2) I hate it when people really act like they care or are interested and then one of two things happens, they don't really give a hoot and you find out, or they back off in weird confusing ways
3) I hate women who won't leave the person you're out with alone, especially stupid big boobed airhead twit women. grrrr.
4) I hate being study-disabled, which means I have a midterm tomorrow and I haven't even cracked open my book. And I DON'T CARE. Self-destruction, anyone?
5) I hate not wanting to leave my house
6) I hate not being able to sleep because I am so angry, sad, upset, and disappointed that I want to either cry or claw my eyes out and can't seem to manage either
7) I hate days when smiling hurts, and I know I'm being fake and awful to the people I care about
8) I hate finally dragging myself out to do something and having it end so badly that I don't feel like leaving my house for another several weeks
9) I hate being at my house at times like this because really, I can't stand being here but everywhere else just seems like a worse option
10) I hate knowing full well that someone has read a really hard, important email that I sent them and having them NOT RESPOND. How difficult is a yes or no answer I wonder. Sheeit, even a feck off would be GREAT! Bugger off you loser we don't want you here. Ok, thanks, toodelooo! Stupid hoity toity snobs.
11) I hate feeling emotionally unbalanced.
12) I hate being antisocial and letting people down.
13) I hate having things almost go so well that life doesn't seem quite real and then at the last minute taking a complete nosedive.
14) I hate all of this, and all of you, and me, and pretty much everything, even though I really don't and hopefully by tomorrow morning, or maybe next week, this will all just be a bad memory I will soon forget. Until then, I hate you!
Dear My Life,
Please stop sucking so hard. Please stop setting me up, time after time, for a big fall. Please stop almost being wonderful. Please, please, please, just leave me alone. I have just completely lost it today and I WANT tomorrow to be better. I will study hard tomorrow all day after work and try to pass the midterm, really, just help me out, would you please?!? For crying out loud I can't handle being disappointed anymore. Another couple of times like this, and I am afraid I will no longer be willing to feel anything at all, and that, for me, would be unimaginable!
