Random talk thread: It just keeps happening

[lennedsay]

Well it would simplify my job to the point it would be obsolete. Why have simplicity when people have to pay us hundreds of dollars to figure out their complex tax situation?

[Phoenix Dark]

you're right 

and I'd be fucked too 

[Cormacaroni]

anyone use an external SSD? Wondering if it would be a decent upgrade for a MacBook Pro w/standard HDD. The bottleneck is presumably USB 2.0, so not sure if it would be fast enough to be worth running apps off (Photoshop mostly).

[Cormacaroni]

nvm, it appears it's not worth it w/USB 2.0

so depressed I want to die  I have no idea whats going on

You need to talk to someone ASAP.  It's not good to feel that way.

I know  will try and call someone. I just spent 10 minutes looking at my shoes and socks before I put them on

[The Sceneman]

well I'm not actually gonna kill myself, I'm just super super low. I get depressed all the time, today is particulary bad for some reason

[Positive Touch]

i forget if ive asked, but have you tried meds?  they can really help out if youve got serious chronic depression

[The Sceneman]

yeah I've been on various meds for the past 6 years. I'm feeling a bit better now after having something to eat. Just got a lot of stresses going on ATM, really busy at school and I graduate in a month and have to find a job ASAP after that.... really, really anxious

[Positive Touch]

 

maybe you just need more blowjobs?

[The Sceneman]

I havent had any pussy in years  :'(

[Positive Touch]

WELL THERES THE PROBLEM

come to the u.s. and get a borian to be your wingma oh wait hold on

[The Sceneman]

took the dogs for a run and I'm feeling a damn sight better now. I always forget how therapeutic excercise is

[Cormacaroni]

- fix your diet
- get some good exercise
- get plenty of sleep (at night)
- get out in the sun regularly, preferably with loved ones
- cut down on your chemical dependencies, aim to cut them out completely eventually

All that should get you out of a downward spiral and into a positive one.  If not, I got nothin'

[chronovore]

Do as Cormac says, I haven't been depressed in a long while cause I've been following something similar to that list.

Rock out with your cock out, Cimmerian.

Scenester, Cormacaroni is as crazy as anyone who won't eat scones is, but he's right!

[The Sceneman]

feeling MUCH better now, had a productive day work-wise today, and have planned an awesome weekend

Have to agree here, cept on the chems (if they are medication).

So far, being pregnant sucks. I can't eat enough dry Cheerios in the mornings, and feel like I'm going to barf on my desk half the day and pass out face first in it. Then all of a sudden, I feel so hungry and crave roast beef sandwiches and pizzas loaded with meat. Afterward I feel better for the rest of the night, and I pass out at 9 on the couch. Wake up at 12, drag myself to the bed, and pass the fuck out until morning. Then the cycle begins again.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Its only because you where brought up thinking it would be like this.

If you realize this you will feel better.

Studies have shown that people drinking non alcoholic beer display the characteristics which are attributed to people being drunk in their respective culture, which only shows people behave how they are expected to behave and feel like they are expected to feel by social engineering.

First trimester is the worst, but if you aren't throwing up every morning then it could be worse. Hang in there sweetie!
Also, yell at your hubby for some really inane shit. It seemed to help my wife.

[Mupepe]

Uhhhh, I don't know if Premium Lager is trolling or not.  Morning sickness and the like is caused by chemical and hormonal reactions.

http://www.latinabroad.com/2011/08/mexican-superstitions-part-6-of-series/

That kind of crap is cultural BS that pregnant women assume.  My ex would always say that she had "ojo"    and her mom would heal her with an egg and a prayer or some shit

[Robo]

I have terminal ojo.  :'(

[Mupepe]

I'll go get a dozen of eggs and get to work

  oh you guys...

Honestly, all of my health issues/annoyances are those I've had all or most of my life and they're just in full force now. I've always had stomach problems, but I will avoid puking like the plague. I'm pretty much a pro at suppressing the need to vomit, so I've been doing well with that so far. The morning sickness all has to do with my eating patterns. I eat dinner, stay up for awhile, go to sleep for 8 hours, and by the time I wake up and eat, I'm so hungry I feel sick, so nothing sounds appetizing and I feel like shit all day. So this morning, I sat in bed and ate Cheerios dry and that really helped. I felt much better for the rest of the day. Yesterday though, I ate a bowl of Cheerios with milk, which I don't like milk anyway and it often makes me sick without even being preggers, and I felt like ass all day. The only thing that helps when I feel nauseous is eating just basic protein/meat (a plain sandwich, a steak, etc), so I've been following the same principle now that I'm pregnant, and it's working. I'm hungry fucking constantly though, so I'm munching on peanut butter crackers all morning long until I can go get a delicious roast beef sandwich from Lion's Choice.

The pain from the Fibromyalgia is out of control right now too, but I'm kinda used to that anyway. It's just hard getting around already, and I'm not even big yet. Had to use a blanket under my hips in addition to the 1" mat in Pilates last night because everything touching me hurts so fucking bad. blah

  So far I haven't yelled at my husband. I gave him sad face last night because he dumped my water I had just poured for myself because he has fucking OCD.

However, I did have my first meltdown, and he had to be witness. My mom posted 30 pics on this family FB thing within a 3 minute time span, and I got an email every single time. My phone would not stop vibrating, and I was pissed, trying to turn it off via the app (spoiler alert: you can't - has to be on the website). He had already turned off notifications, and was thanking his lucky stars as I was texting him, "HOW THE FUCKING FUCK DO I TURN THIS SHIT OFF?!!!!!!!!!!" Then at the same time, I told him about how someone in the family texted me a pic of their baby at 5 am, and how my mom will probably text me the same pic, then email it to me, then post it on FB, then post it on my wall, then post it on the family page wall, then she'll tag me in all of them so I'll get 15 fucking emails all regarding one baby pic, and then every time I talk to her in the next two weeks, she'll ask me if I saw it yet. My husband laughed, because he knows that's exactly what she does. Almost nuked my FB account over it yesterday.

Just realized that, all the times I've been trying to draw, and having multiple light sources in the room have been messing with my close-range depth perception... well, it turns out I just need glasses. CRAP! I NEED GLASSES NOW? You kids get off mah lawn!

Compared to Lennedsay's woes, I'm small fry.

[Madrun Badrun]

I think I need glasses too.  I'm kind of excited about the idea of it.  Glasses can make you look more sophisticated and intelligent.

Does that work in the military?

sorry, thats just too hard

im just gonna keep going through the motions and hope that it gets easier

[chronovore]

No, I suppose not. 

If you need glasses in the military, are there any drawbacks? I understood that people with any need for corrective lenses are ineligible to become pilots, for instance.

[Cormacaroni]

Sounds you're having a rougher first trimester than my wife. She was tired and felt a little nauseous, but that's it.

[Madrun Badrun]

The problem is my lab overlaps with Image Processing, which is a class I actually want to go to.  So I do the labs on my own and there is very little practical material in the book, so I spend a shit load of time trying to figure out how to do something and then get it wrong anyways.  Frustrating.  I got an 85% on the midterm which didn't have the lab material on it, 20% above class average but I'm getting like 60's and 70's on the labs.  Fuck.

Blah.... Almost everyone I talk to had a relatively easy pregnancy after the first trimester. I can literally count on one hand the women I know who had a rough pregnancy. My mom had an awful time when she was pregnant, and she has nearly the same health issues as I do, so all this isn't a big shocker. She was nauseous all the time rather than just in the mornings, and it didn't go away after her first trimester, and so far, I'm randomly nauseous throughout the day. Hopefully it goes away in a few weeks. 

Had two nosebleeds today. I had no idea that was a symptom, but apparently it's common.

On a positive note, the dogs are doing great!

[Boogie]

I think I need glasses too.  I'm kind of excited about the idea of it.  Glasses can make you look more sophisticated and intelligent.

General rule:

Women much prefer men without glasses than with.

I have gotten so many comments from women saying I look much more attractive without my glasses on than with.

It's a shame, because I think it's the reverse for women:  they look hotter with glasses.  And yet, women are so much more self-conscious about wearing glasses than men.

Weird.

my wife had a terrible, terrible pregnancy -- got gestational diabeetus and had to stick a needle in her arm every morning and night, had frequent nosebleeds, and couldn't eat ANY sugars or many starches. she was also always barfing.

Yeah, I hate glasses on me. Contacts all the way (and LASIK at some point). I can't give any testimonials from girls considering I've been wearing them for a long time and it's not like I suddenly started getting more action in junior year of high school versus sophomore. I never wear glasses outside of the house anymore (except for certain Halloween costumes).

[chronovore]

Just found a diazepam autoinjector in one of my gear bags.  Don't remember where or why I got it.  Didn't know what it was so I googled it.  It's valium!  Why do I have this?!

Edit:  Just found another autoinjector I don't remember receiving or getting any instruction on.  This one says "antidote for nerve agent".   

So it's valium -- you'll still be dying or convulsing, but you won't care about it as much?

[Cerveza mas fina]

Valium 

Makes 18 hour bus rides through Laos so much more tolerable. I wish I could just go to the pharmacy here and buy it like you can over there.

Dude I have Valium for my flight to India, but I never used it, normally I go with Oxazepam. I'm kind of aftraid to use something as strong as valium.
