I have had that happen to many of the bars and clubs I used to call home. One of my friends was a bouncer on the other side of the state, but recently had to quit because the bar was not taking an liability if he got roughed up or had to rough somebody up to get them out. (and those situations were increasing) It's much better just to stay at home, have a couple drinks with some close friends and listen to music or have good conversations.

That's dreadful; I hope your friend has found a new job where he is better valued. Unfortunately most of my friends prefer going out to staying in and currently we are mostly living with parents (yup we all finished our degrees and discovered that we had to live at home because work/funding for postgrads was lacking) which is less than ideal... Oh well, just discovered that one of my old favourite club nights is re-starting next week. I'll give that a chance before I give up on clubbing entirely! |

I'm twenty, but I haven't been out clubbing in perhaps two years? Yeah, something like that.

I'm twenty three and have never cared for clubs. A nice pub for a pint or a dram? That sounds lovely. But a club, in any form? No thanks. I want to be left alone, or left to be with my friends. These days I just stay home or go to a friends house for a quiet evening.

"Well, I don't really think that the end can be assessed as of itself as being the end because what does the end feel like? It's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe, you say, if the universe is indeed infinite, then how - what does that mean? How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you."

Facebook tough guys. I was at an event help by the local colleges role players guild, that my wife and I were former members of. Apparently, there was a girl who had signed up to run a game. Her timeslot came around, and nobody wanted to play her game, so she left,, no apparent issue. Less than an hour later, there was a wall of very inflammatory text on the guilds facebook page blaming her games failure on everything from my wife's game stealing her players, to horrible mismanagement by the 'tyrants' in charge of the guild.
This is why I hate facebook. Put someone behind a computer screen, and most of the time they think they have the freedom to be as rude, foul mouthed, and inconsiderate as they want, and would say things they would never dare say to someone's face, for fear of, at best, making a scene and showing how childish they are in public, and at worst, losing teeth.

and on that note:  Why oh why didn't anybody tell me that the novacaine wearing off would hurt more that the actual healing process. The needles for it's use were no picnic either. and the hours of drooling blood. I know it's a bit late in the game but I've changed my mind. I don't wanna do this nomore. |

Holy moly the hammer wielder of old Rotherham Town strikes again.....I live in a first floor flat, and below me somebody is playing with a hamme... the police telephonist says 'don't confront him' but tried to say it was not an emergency....only after I report back that he's been hammering for an hour does she say she'll send officers.
So. It's not an emergency, but don't confront him.....somebody is whacking away with a hammer at 4 in the morning, and it's not an emergency.

Here we go:
I've been unemployed for about 2 months now, and am feeling very down. Yesterday I went to see the quack in order to see if there is anything that can be done to "help" me with the constant emotional rollercoaster that I'm on (one day fine, the next I could be down in the soles of my boots). I went to see the quack about 18 months ago suffering the same sort of thing, they offered me some "cognative behavior therapy" sessions (2 in fact sitting in a cosy cafe talking to a complete stranger about my innermost fears and worries) - that was about as much use as a chocolate fire poker. Well yesterday the quack assessed me and said that I wasn't a candidate for any course of drugs, or C.B.T. and just to get on with life and grin and bear it!
Now whilst I'm sorta happy with not having any chemical cosh, I do feel that having presented twice in 18 months with the same symptoms that it might start ringing alarm bells at the surgery, because its all too easy to slide down the slippery slope (I'm not so stupid as to go B.A.S.E. jumping of Cheddar Gorge without a parachute, but can easily see how that could occur!)
I've tried St John's wort in the past and it wasn't really effective, does anybody have any other ideas that might get me out of this "black hole"?

All the University libraries are closing today for Easter and won't re-open til next Thursday, 12th (nice long Easter holiday for their staff!!) so we are inundated with students (most of whom aren't studying anything 'medical' related) wanting to use this library to study in! Just had a right couple of dweebs in asking if they can use the library to study. I inform them that they need to leave their bags and coats in the cloak room. "So we can't bring our books in with us?" they ask. "Of course you can" says I..it's the bag you can't bring in..books, laptops etc are fine". I inform them that we have strong plastic bags available for them to bring in whatever they need for their studying. However, seeing large water bottles poking out their rucksacks I informed them that "No food or drink is allowed in the library" to which one of these geniuses replied "Oh..Can we bring water in?"  "No" says I, "because food and drink isn't allowed in the library". "What..not even water?" So I asked her "what would you do with the water?" "Er..drink it" she says. "Precisely! So it's a drink then isn't it and as I've just said, twice, there's no food or drink allowed in the library!" And they look at me like I'm the idiot! |

Going without food for twelve hours will not kill you, but there is obviously some underlying cause of your malady... it sounds most distressing. |

No but I get woozy and weak and my skin starts to feel like it's crackling, then my chrohn's goes off and even when I do eat food won't stay in me long. We halved my vicodin dosage and the rivers of blood from the extraction sites are all pretty much gone so I'm not swallowing large amaounts of phlegm and blood to upset my stomache along with vicoden on an empty stomache. sadly I had to start an antibiotic too, so that's another chemical in the mix. and the bodily stress isn't likely to impress my crohn's. madningly I've also got to yank off my healing dentures and jamb them back on swollen gums several times a day and that causes me to become light headed and queezy too. |

Let`s just say that if there`s one big, important thing I`ve learned from my internship so far, it`s that I never want to work with someone from my study again.
Seriously, that whole bunch of *******************************. I know I shouldn`t care, I know it shouldn`t matter to me what they think of everything, but for gods sake, they`re ruining everything. I swear, if they actually go to school with their crap, and get this entire internship declared invalid or whatever, I will hurt someone badly. I can live with them not liking me, I don`t have to see them all that much anymore now the park is open anyway. I can live with being shut out, I can handle things myself, but if all their whining over things they actually signed for gets worse and more serious, I will take action. I will finish this internship, get a proper grade, and graduate and get the hell out of here, even if it means I have to fight for it, even if it means I have to take them down completely. I`ve had it. I`m not going to pay 3000+ euros in fees and whatever just because they don`t agree with something they signed up for and that they knew about in the first place.

A bureaucratic GAHHHHH....in the UK if you are entitled to free prescriptions etc due to a long term illness etc., you get a certificate to say that you're entitled.....on looking at my old one, it says 'allow four weeks for a new certificate' or words to that effect....
Why in the name of all that's holy does it take four weeks to produce a certificate when all that's needed is a quick look at the applican'ts medical record? Not like it's hand written on vellum.

Long story short I moved to Texas to improve my life. Which it did. That said, I took a planned semester off, looking to start school in January. Well, one thing fell out and then another and I couldn't afford school when the time came. Now it looks like it might be another 2 semesters before I can get back to school. Which in grand total would've been about the time I would've been graduating. It seems the longer I try and save ends up costing more - just life's course I guess. I'm already impatient about graduating and starting my life and all but now I'm starting to feel as though I should just throw in the towel now. I'm failing at nearly everything, each decision I make, though well intended, seems to be wrong and always turns out for the worse. And now, on top of it all, I met the woman of my dreams. I really thought I had a chance at having all I dreamed of, which is to be a father. But how could I even think of that when I can barely pay the bills, let alone college or children? It's out of the question. I don't know what to do anymore. I recently made a connection that might help me figure a way to untangle the mess that is school but what with how my luck has been so far I'm not counting on it. Who the hell knows anymore, certainly not me.

Wish I could help you, or even send words of encouragement, but honestly, your life sounds a lot like mine. Everything that can go wrong does. The girl I love thinks I make a wonderful friend, but is set on giving her loser ex another chance. I own my own house, but at the moment all the plumbing is completely ripped out of it, so I'm having to stay with my parents until I get it all put back. Can't afford to hire a plumber so I'm having to do all the work myself, and the labor involved is constantly putting me up against the physical limitations of my genetic condition. Need a new vehicle, but can't afford one, and honestly wouldn't drive any of the crap that's on the market now if I could afford one. My closest friends are a two hour drive away... So yeah... Life pretty much sucks. |

Man that makes my GAH seem minor. I wish you both lots of luck and success with future endeavors. I'm sure it'll work out for you both in the end.
My irritation for today is my short attention span. I'm trying to write this damn essay and I can't concentrate on it. Got 2500 words to write by Friday... I've written less than 500 all day. This is the last 4000 word essay I will EVER have to write. It should be easy compared to a 20,000 word thesis but it's way harder. I didn't pick the topic and I can't honestly drum up much enthusiasm for roman material culture this week.

Twice this week I've had to repremand members of the public here in the Library. We have notices in holders on certain tables that say quite clearly that the power points in the skirting boards are NOT to be used. We also have plastic covers over the actual plug socket that have lightning flash icons on them and the words 'DANGER DO NOT USE' in big clear letters.
So, these arseholes put the notice either face down or put it on the floor...they remove the covers from the plug sockets and plug their laptops in!!
I wish i could fix it so that when they turn on they're laptops the power surge blows all the circuits!! that'll teach 'em!

Connect 'em to the 400V AC supply. That'll surely fix it. You only need one idiot ... and some watchers. Word will spread. Seriousness mode ON I could give you a few construction hints on a 98dB audio alarm triggered by the cover being removed. All powered by a 9V battery. This shock should teach them. Send me a PN and we'll see. |
