Things That Piss You Off

Looks more like a sugar shake then a protein shake.
I have been in the hospital numerous times now. Their “diabetic diet” is utter crap.

That made me laugh.

Yup.

MRSA infection hit the bone, so just an itty-bitty little amputation.

Yikes

Oh shit! I’m so sorry! Wishing you complete and speedy recovery, and hoping you’re losing one of your less beloved appendages.

God, I’m sorry this is happening!

Algebra!

Damn. I’m really sorry to hear that. I wish you the best.

Terrible hospital story time- When I got drano’d I had IV nutrients through the subclavian artery. Like a big bag of milk or something once a day. Not a big deal.

So to test if I could be released, I had to be able to consume liquid. So the nurse brings in a cup and asks me to drink it.

Orange Juice! Full strength orange juice down a freshly re-growing esophagus!

Holy shit that hurt!

How did that happen? I missed that story.

Also I just took a gnarly post-surgery pic if anyone is curious.

This has cause me quite an inner dialogue, I can tell you!

Yikes! Speedy recovery :pray:

I was getting ready to ship out for boot camp, and by getting ready I mean partying my ass off. It was also the night before my birthday, so that added an extra element of festiveness.

So when the clock struck 12:00, the kid whos house it was opened up his dads gameroom bar to us to celebrate. To the gameroom we go. I grabbed a bottle and took a big swig! Unbeknownst to me, his brother, a studious little bookworm at the local world class university- had booby trapped the bar by replacing the content of one bottle with drain cleaner then putting it back into the bar.

Mayhem ensued. I chucked my esophagus into the toilet. Me & my buddy jumped in his truck to drive to the hospital, but realized we didn’t know where it was. We went to my brothers house near by and called an ambulance.

At the hospital I faded pretty fast. My one neice was a little tot, sitting on the bed in as my family said goodbye and I told her “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine…” then I was out.

For a couple weeks I was awakened intermittently by scorching pain as I pulled the NG tube out and the doc would put it back in, or just for what ever random (to me) procedure. I woke up momentarily as they installed a pic line in my subclavian artery for IV feeding. For some strange reason my sister had them play “Silence Of The Lambs” on vcr like 24/7. But mostly it was some nice nurses checking in, seeing me awake, and knocking me back out with a nice cold shot of morphine.

I can still remember that feeling of cold tracing up my arm until it reached my shoulder, then wooosh, floating away.

Well that’s evil.

I agree.

Thoroughly put an end to any partying there.

I think I’m fairly familiar with said university.
You can thrive there with some pretty serious social/character issues if you are are academically good enough

no, I do things by the book

for parties, I call the cops

for neighbours, I ring the doorbell and yell at them to shut up

New book:

Invite the neighbors.

Then you never have to worry about the cops. :+1:

“Hey, guys! I hear you’re having a party - would you like to instead come over to my place? We can walk in place while we watch subtitled Russian movies.”

I dunno, Skyz. I see a couple of holes in the plan.

I have issues with my sleep quality and don’t function well without sufficient sleep time.
I sleep early and I care about my sleep time more than most things. Only my advisor and family emergencies have the right to cut into it.

If a neighbour is too loud, they will get a piece of my mind.
The US is too tolerant of noise and disruption. We need order police like Germany or Switzerland

I know. I wasn’t trying to poke at you as much as ask @SkyzykS exactly how his plan was meant to work. I’m also pretty protective of my sleep, which is one of the reasons I live out in the country. Pastures, woods, stars and quiet.

Well, the neighbors can’t call about the noise if they’re helping to make it.

For my neighborhood it would have to include at least the ones on each side and across the street. They’re going to be the most inconvenienced by noise & parking and whatnot.
