Haven't been able to eat anything that requires teeth since may due to an accident. Wont be able to afford the replacements until late October.

I'm pretty close to that myself. 6'3" and 150. When I was in high school I had a nice strong and mildly flabby body holding at 220 lbs. As my health has deteriorated over the years, I've lost all those muscles and most of the flab. Not being able to eat sucks. I'd suggest ensure and whatnot, but tbh they taste so weird that if I drink them too often the taste gets repulsive. So I dunno. Try to stay active, keep your muscles from atrophying. That's the worst part.

And yeah, I happened to glance in a mirror as I was getting in the shower before my surgery last week, and damn if I don't look like one of those death camp survivors. Only with long hair and a beard.

I was always 145 until I was about 25, then my body finally decided to put on a little extra weight putting me up to 160. I only lost 10 lbs due to the food issues, the other 10 was pneumonia I got right after the surgery because they punctured my sinus'.

Edit: Also, I love my size. I get self conscious about it every once in a while because I'm no where near how I'd like to be, but I'll be working to correct that once I can well, eat. I'm well aware that if you don't start making yourself look better @ 30 you end up looking like skeletor/a holocaust survivor in your 40's.

Drink coconut oil or eat some of those coconut ice creams

Got tickets to see New Order in New York City on October 18th, a Thursday. We booked a room and took off from work. Then they announced a second show the following night.

seems like the site is hiccupping a lot the past hour or 2

I know there was a thread somewhere about shit for people with money issues but ill post here. Went in for a foodstamps interview today, the lady asks me if I was a college student so I replied "yes" since im taking classes this fall. She looks at me and goes "Let me ask you a technical quest here, are you in college right NOW?" I caught on to what she was pushing towards and said "no, i'm not in college today". Apparently you can interpret the whole thing as "well I filed my application while not in college so therefore, i'm not a college student" type deal or some shit, it's kind of annoying you have to game the system, and i'm not even sure if her supervisor will agree, if he doesn't then i'm shit out of luck.

She told me if I was in work study I would qualify..and I qualify for work study I was just turned down this semester due to people getting there first but I guess that's not good enough >_<

Yesterday I got a call from someone whose shortcuts were all changed to IE. I remote in and see that she associated every program on her fucking computer to internet explorer. To add insult to injury, this all came about from her being unable to load our intranet site from a desktop shortcut due to a bug with Windows 7 and Attachmate Mainframe software. If you don't install it with Win XP compatability mode and run as admin, no Internet shortcuts work. Had to delete her entire profile as I was not going to sit there for hours fixing program associations.

I am now into my 6th year of High school. Not because I failed but because every fucking school I went are cunts.

**Eurell** · 2012-08-30 16:12

Missing too many days or something?

**BaneTheBrawler** · 2012-08-30 17:06

Wait, you're only 20ish? I thought you were older than me. Jesus.

Also, that sucks. My school was pretty chill about my Crohn's, but then, it wasn't too bad during that time.

GED? Or are you Wooderson from Dazed & Confused?

**Myrrh_Quetz** · 2012-08-31 02:37

When I lived in Boston, I did my grade 10 there. When I moved back to Canada for grade 11, my school refused to give me any credits from the states. I redid another year plus summer school. They lost all record I was ever in summer school. I mean ALL record.

After I dropped out of highschool due to not caring/health/other shit I went and did Adult Education. I did mostly the whole year. I missed the last month due to my health becoming really bad so I had to drop out. The school told me I passed those classes. So, at that point, I only had 2 credits left to finish my grade 12. I went back to register for Summerschool to get those 2 Credits. They told me I needed a full years worth to finish grade 12.

So now I'm redoing Grade 12 again...

And I don't want a GED. I want a actual diploma

Sounds like a recurring nightmare I've been having for the past 6 years... except in that I have to repeat high school and forget to wear pants.

**Ksandra** · 2012-09-11 12:51

Got a call at 6 pm yesterday from a school about a long-term sub position. Phone decides to send it straight to voice mail without any notification of a missed call, then shows the voice mail at 11 pm. Message said they were interviewing first thing in the morning today. fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu

Had a random win this morning on campus, paid the vending machine for a Nestea...it spat out 4...ultimate YUS to start the day before a 8 am class :D

I drive by this intersection at least 2x a day, and it drives me nuts every time... Sorry the pic isn't that good, it's kinda hard to be at the front of the queue when there's little enough cross traffic going by to get a good shot of it. How the road crew was allowed to get away with leaving it like this (it's been a good 3 months + since they painted it) I have no idea.

Planning trip to PHX in March. Train, car and Plane all cost within 40$ over the slower alternative for a round trip. Car is the same price as train if gas is the same price or better come March, same price as flying if we break 4$ and I buy the tickets now. Why am I buying now? Being prepared and so I don't get shafted on the higher ticket prices the closer to the trip date.

So I can sit on my ass for 35 hours doing nothing but playing on my laptop, drive for 20 hours with nothing to really do for 15 of them* or spent 10 hours being molested , stuffed into a metal tube and hope I don't get sick from the recycled air. YAY.

*(fuck you west texas/new mexico)

Man, unless the TSA start installing body scanners in train stations, just take the train if you can spare the time. Last time I went to MI to visit some friends the car trip only took two less hours than a train and the train trip wouldn't have involved wanting to blow my brains out at having nothing to do but pay attention to the road and count the miles.

Trains are really slow, and expensive, but are definitely quite convenient. There's no security bullshit, and you don't have to drive.
