Thank everyone for well wishes~
Friends talking to me is what's keeping me from losing my mind here. My mom and brother were here for a couple weeks but they both had to go back. I'm getting better every day but I was a pile of incoherent sludge at the beginning of this and according to the doctors this is anywhere from the worst case they've seen or in the top 5% going by severity. Once I get the NG tube out of my face and the wound cleaning tube out of my stomach and the drainage tubes out of my sides I'll probably get better a lot more quickly. also if I don't have to have a 4th surgery I'll probably get better a lot more quickly
::::((((
Sounds like the appendix didn't go down without a fight.
So there are weevils in my house and kitchen. They made there way in through a box of cake mix.
This wouldn't be so bad if I didn't find them after doing a lot of cleaning and boxing away of things...in cardboard...which they sometimes eat. I even wrapped a lot of glass in newspaper. Which they also eat and lay babies in.
And they got in some old books that are now in the freezer.
I guess I'll go get some foggers.
I don't really want to unpack all that stuff and repack it in bubble wrap and plastic containers.
Fuck you Chocolate Delight Cake. You were anything but a delight.

Not that long. I figure it has more to do with the mild winter and being left on the counter behind the coffee maker and near the sink. Nice warm weather. Little bit of moisture in that sink. etc, etc.Quote:

Guys like nice butts and maybe some boobs and girls like shoes and making each other feel bad. There you go. Mystery solved. No reason to invest millions into finding out when I pee and how I wipe my butt.
You're doing that thing again.
Boiling everything down to butts and trannies?
What did that have to do with trannies?
I suppose I am using exaggeration and hyperbole for humerus effect. You'd think more of you could learn to recognize when I'm doing that. But then "we" couldn't pretend offense.
Or maybe yanks just don't get hyperbole as a form of humor? Studies seem to confirm that.
My, my, hyperbolic arguments to defend hyperbolic comments. Xzibit would be proud.
So... they got in via a cake mix package? Why are there so many bugs in the food stuffs you have in your house?Quote:

Is there something in your warm house you're allergic to? Roach droppings, mold? Have you gone to any kind of physician about this?Quote:

Allergy tests are real, you have insurance, go check that out.
Yeah, I have a cocktail of Claritin, Benadryl, and Cortizone 10 I have to take for various reasons due to skin allergies on my hand, which is a recent thing. Sucks.
I'm allergic to dust mites, which pretty much means 'clean the damn house'.
Same, I have a skin allergy to fine particles like dust, but it isn't a problem in my house since it's pretty clean. The problem is printer toner, and I work in a print shop. If I forgot to take a Claritin in the morning and I have to clear a paper jam I'm in for a bad time.
Have you considered that said Posta was either throne in the trash or already esten?Quote:

I probably need to get it checked. But like every other day, we have shit at work I have to be here for. Like I can't see shit today but I had to come in and turn in some reports to accounting. I'm trying to train the new kid up to help cover each other but he had to pull away for a 1.2 million dollar chemical trial. I even sacked up and asked to push that off 2 days and got shut down because the plant manager had the feels and wanted to meet on it today.
The meeting was an inconclusive waste of time btw. Nothing was said that wasn't obvious. But fuck if I didn't pull a 12 preparing data on as a fallow up yesterday.
no you didn't just do thatQuote:

Justi is allergic to shell fish and black fucking pepper!
We learned how to cook at the owl without pepper because of it, and it turned out to be liberating. Most food doesn't need it. We'd give an occasional grind to finish a dish, but everything else had none.
My high school chemistry teacher worked for DuPont for years and became allergic to everything. She had to take supplements to make up for all the food she couldn't eat.
I miss that confused hamburger Josh used to post in response to weird shit like this.Quote:

Why don't you buy a new car ip? Because I pay 650 a month in student loans. Why didn't you work? Because I'd lost my free tuition and it would have distracted from my studies. Couldn't you have lived at home? No, the best engineering school in the state was 4 hours away. Couldn't you go somewhere cheaper? Not really. Prices are pretty even across the board by state, and ms is already one of the cheapest states to get a college education. You also start to get what you pay for.
This is all beside the point that the people enquiry make more than me, but that's OK because they pay child support. As if they are entitled to a higher pay rate to compensate for their poor life choices and yet I am not for some magical unknown poor choice with my relationship to student loans.
This conversation is the worst. It's like trying to explain rockets to cavemen. They have no perspective. Nothing registers. Me, the engineer must have done something wrong. Even though I picked a "wise" major and picked a moderately priced college. I even cooped.
Yes. It's really that bad, Mr older adult. All of us 20 and 30 somethings are not in debt up to our eye sockets because of bad decisions. This is really how it works out even when you make all of the "correct" decisions.
Fuck those people?
They're probably not very attractive.
I don't think most older people realize you can't just work part time over the weekends to pay for tuition these days, even at a local state school.
Yeah tuition has skyrocketed, while minimum wage has barely moved. So many older people have no fucking clue about it.
In my day we used to work part time for a penny an hour. We called those penny Thursdays even though it was everyday.
We paid for college with slugs. That was slang for nickels at the time. It would take 20 slugs for one year. That would be 13 penny thursdays or about 3 normal work weeks.
Kids today, so lazy.
Stop living in the south already.
if only the ignorance of 45+ year olds was isolated to the American south.
You should have just stopped right there.Quote:

I would tell the older people fuckin with you that you're proud of you debt because it means you got an education.
At least you're paying it down. A lot of grads are working full time and still going deeper into debt.
I have zero debt. I have a shitty job. Pick one.
I try to not be mean in real life. Because the reality is I can work in any state or country if I had to. If this place shut down, a lot of these older people are fucked. They'll have to start all over again.Quote:

Which btw is one of the things people forget to mention about the industrial golden days. Most people have to start over if they change jobs without a degree. A lot of these people are well treated slaves.
Good ole days my butt.
I've always questioned the wisdom of the notion that college grads make so much more over a lifetime than everyone else. If you control for equal ability, work ethic, etc., then I don't think it makes as much of a difference as people seem to think it does.
I know a quite a few people from high school who started moderately successful businesses or trade apprenticeships instead of going to college, even though they would have had no trouble getting into a good school. Instead of spending the most energetic years of their lives studying, they were working on a career that they were committed to, and ended up making decent money and having no debt by the time they would have graduated with a massive debt load.
Meanwhile, a lot of my friends from college are still working as baristas, waiters, or worst of all, teachers.
But this sentence was at the end of his rant.Quote:

I knew this in high school. It's obvious.
I was just referring to the rest of that sentence. In his rant it didn't end there.
Money is a lot like the premise of full Metal alchemist. In our youth we want to beleive in equivalent exchange and that life is fair. That all the have nots are just people who made poor decisions in their youth. That is however not the truth. Life is actually chaotic and unfair. Horrible people achieve and keep power via the blood and sweat of others and people that made the "right" decisions still end up fucked.Quote:

After finding a better job in a different city, I just devoted every other paycheck to paying down debt, and I was out of the hole in a little over a year.
How should I take this post? What are you "bah"ing to? What do you mean by "big" ? That it us a factor sometimes? Most of the time? All the time? That the good ole boy system of the elite is a myth or smaller than I say? Be clearer if you want to talk about this.Quote:

But it happening sometimes doesn't make it "big" or the rule.
Trickle down economics is not supply and demand.
I think it's more than just not spending foolishly. Debt numbers are very large these days, you have to make a concerted effort to get rid of the debt.Quote:

I suppose 'foolishly' is a bit too subjective a term. For me, that meant buying anything other than necessities for as long as I held any high interest debt.
That's not a bad way to live anyway.
Just default on any credit cards you have. Bad call, Visa.
I don't think I'd hire Icarus as a financial advisor.
It all depends on how you look at it. Maybe he'd tell you to invest in prepper stuff before he burns the system to the ground. That would be solid advice.
All of our debt laws rely on shame in the debtor. If you're not interested in that, you might as well get as many as you can, buy what you like, and never pay. Most states have a statute of limitations on debt collection, and companies very rarely exhaust legal options before then. Even better, set up a corporation that does nothing. Get all the cards from a company line. File for bankruptcy. Completely legal.
Yes, I suppose that is a factually true irrelevant statement. Much in the same way cocoa powder is not a chocolate bar.Quote:

Wouldn't I be up shit creek had I not set other money aside to have it towed? Then either a small amount to get the parts to fix it or a larger amount to pay someone else to fix it?
And then there is quality of life. Life kind of sucks if you use thrift in all areas of your life. Don't move anywhere fancy because the rent is too high. Don't drive anything nice because the payment is too high. Don't buy any of the tools or instruments you really want because the prices are too high. Never buy any new games or the occasionally nicer shirt or pants for yourself. Don't even buy a nice cup of coffee while you're out for a walk. How boring. How soulless.
You know, balance, that is key. Don't buy the new game, but maybe buy one that is 75% off. Don't buy starbucks everyday, but maybe buy 1 cup for your sunday walk, etc.
except for student loan debt.Quote:

You can have plenty of fun with shit you already own, and pretty much all the information you could ever want is a few mouse clicks away.
If everything you've ever wanted to know is on the internet, then what is humanity's excuse for being so stupid?
Also, if you really are doing the necessities, don't forget to cut off your internet and cellphone.
Laziness and/or apathy.
