Ive never had a migraine, they can be that bad that the government will consider you disabled? Man thats gotta hurt.

Toothaction man medical care is insane. My other sister probably has to declare bankruptcy because of how expensive it was staying at the hospital.

Everything blows, if not this then that.

Haven't tried applying for disability yet, but I might have to if this bullcrap migraine shit keeps up. They are really bad though, it's like someone is prying into your orbital sockets with an ice pick. (At least mine feel like that.) I usually end up having to lie down in a dark room on days like that, accomplishing absolutely nothing until it gets a bit better. That's why I need that damn Zomig, it usually kills a migraine within an hour... But $8 a pill? Yeah that's not happening

I've been having migraines since October and have finally scheduled an appointment to see a specialist. My PC just kept telling me I have a sinus infection and prescribing antibiotics but for 8 months? No way, so I will know soon what the fuck is wrong.

A big fuck you to board members that ask for help, but when you need the help, they hang you out to dry.
Wankers

That is FUCKING EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. I was seeing an ENT, and she's just saying "it must be allergies, try this, try this, try this."
Nothing worked. Allegra, Claritin, Zyrtec, Nasocort, prescription nasal spray, nada.
Well no fucking shit, I may have allergies but that wasn't causing the massive amount of head pain I was feeling on a regular basis.
Stupid sinuses are right in the same area migraines occur, so I guess I sort of understand how the mix-up happened, but still....
WTF.
Wasn't all the medicine failure a hint? At all?

If you're seeing a neurologist about the migraines, be prepared for a possible MRI and EEG. The MRI is surprisingly short, only about 20-30 min compared to the grueling 50 minutes my wrist MRI took. (Plus you're lying on your back instead of your side... fuck that wrist MRI, my pelvis, elbow, and thigh were hurting like mad after 20 minutes of that crap) EEG is just a bunch of wires pasted to your head, and you lie down and pretty much do nothing.
Topamax is an awful drug and everyone I know who has taken it has had memory loss or hallucinations. (I tried to take a nap while on it for the first day and was tripping balls hardcore, thinking that George Washington was lying in bed next to me and that my mom was sitting on the floor eating ice cream out of a pint.) If they want to put you on it, say NOOOOO.

Also... Download the App called "Migraine Coach." It's free at first but makes you pay for further analysis after 60 days, but they do give you some insights without pay. Also a WAY better way to track your migraines than the inevitable "headache journal" the neurologist will give you.
So far Migraine Coach has determined that rapid temperature and humidity changes have a big chance of giving me a migraine, and there is no connection between the amount of stairs I climb in a day and my migraines. Really weird second assessment, but hey, at least I know I can CLIMB ALL THE STAIRS.


That fucking sucks, but unfortunately I think that's how most of humankind operates to begin with. You give them an inch, they want a mile... You ask for a centimeter, it's too much for them.
...Maybe I just know too many scummy people in real life.

He was born the year I turned 27, I got to see him in person
when I was 33- now he is dead as I am about to turn 45

Some days I hate this fucking world, today is one.

People need to watch their kids and teach them to respect the animals from a distance... This isn't the Jungle Book, those animals aren't going to understand you. A bit of realism in a kid's life won't hurt. Tell them to keep away!

Fuck zoos!

All of this. But also fuck some humans for being general turds and horrible individuals. In zoos and without. We are far fewer steps away from a dystopia than we can ever claim a utopia. And I think the shortness of crossing that distance is far smaller than a lot of people suspect.

Its a fucking embarrassment.

The more you pay attention the more you'll realize this shit happens all too frequently.

not my text but it reflecs what I think about it

I get what you are saying G, and that is completely fair. Nor do I disagree. We are too hasty in today's world to make judgements and come to conclusions, without a doubt. My comment in particular though is directed at the failure of basic humanity and complete irresponsibility that has happened in 'news' reports lately. There are good people, and definitely some amazing stories of kindness and selflessness out there, and those should be equally praised and discussed by everyone. But things like the parents who refused to help their diabetic son because they were in denial about his illness, leading him to die (after ostensibly suffering on and off for twelve years) at the age of 15, weighing 39 lbs, is just the latest case that has me gritting my teeth. The sheer senselessness of cases like these is what angers me. I wish I could say that this was an isolated case or a rare example, but we know this to not be true.

But anyways, life is difficult enough as it is without adding more to the mix. No sense dwelling on such things. Toys, eh? At least we can appreciate the simple, good things in life.

I just want to make it clear that the mother of the child posted a status on Facebook after the incident full of psychobabble about how "God protected her child that day" and so on. No mention of the gorilla. No mention of the unfortunate outcome of that encounter. No mention of how the child got in the enclosure.
Just "me me me God deemed me and my kid special me me me."

Maybe God put your kid in danger for a reason, to tell you to watch your darn kid.

^ Yeah pretty much taking no ownership of her piss poor parenting skills! Umm hello where were you and why were you not watching your child, leaving it to the gorilla to do it? So a gorilla has to die because of your mother of the year parenting skills. I just don't get how no one takes ownership of their own shit anymore. Like here in Buffalo. Some nitwit wasn't watching their kid and he was killed by a car when they wandered to close to the expressway. Now we all have to suffer because they changed the speed limit in that section to 30 MPH causing massive traffic jams every morning. I fucking hate people- take ownership of your responsibilities as a parent.


Also a big fuck you to Wegmans for making it increasing difficult to find fucking bleached flour. I'm all for promoting healthiness, making food less processed etc. It's better for you I get it. But I'm sorry when I want to bake a dessert unbleached wheat flour ain't fucking cutting it. I've used it in chocolate chip cookies and it sucks. Every fucking time I go to Wegmans I get tricked in to buying this damn unbleached flour (I mean how often do you buy flour?). They put their own storebrand (which is cheaper) next to the major bleached flour brands as all purpose, and I fall for it every time. Had to peddle my bike back there yesterday as I realized I did it again a mile down the road.

Sorry bleached flour works best in baking IMO. Fuck you Wegmans. (Yeah I made brownies from scratch).

Fuck me for losing my credit card in my own house. I swear, sometimes I put things in the dumbest places without thinking.

If anyone needs some stories:
I once found my phone in my pillowcase.
Once in a shoe.
Once under a pile of clothes.
Countless times in my own pocket while I was searching.
Once while in my other hand.

I don't know where my brain goes when I put things in dumb places, but I know that somewhere stupid, my credit card awaits my discovery.

Did you check the fridge?

EDIT: Haha, don't read too much into that. I'm notorious for putting laundry in there.

Hope you've found it by now.

And pick up a salad once in awhile, okay, doll?

I've put cereal in the fridge before when I meant to put the milk there...
But alas, no credit card. Guess if it doesn't show up by the end of the week I'll call the bank and get a new one... Just got a new one a few months ago, too. Could be worse, I could have had my info stolen again.

Fuck Religion.

^ Amen

Yep. In case the allusion is unclear: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2016 ... lm-ganesh/

Fuck people.

Thank you for that link. Humanity never ceases to disgust.

Guns are the best, right?

Fuck.

Horrible tragedy, disgusting that we live in a country where it still occurs enough for some people to not be phased.

Can we just not start turning this into a talk about guns?
No one has an answer that will work. I talked to so many Australians, citizens can't legally own guns, and they felt
that getting rid of all guns wouldn't work in America.

^ Meaning that it didn't do them any good, or that it just doesn't seem possible to them that anything similar could happen / would help in America?

None of them ever took into account that guns run through Mexico as well. It wouldnt be that easy to get guns into Australia if they were more into our mindset.
