It's the end of February and I'm hating school. I just want to stay at home and listen to music and write.
The alarm on my clock decided to stop working for 4 days and then mysteriously started working again.
I'm totally completely broke.

~gives you a gentle hug~ Sorry about the money problems, Yeux. They will get better, eventually. ~looks at you~ And please stick out school. It is worth it!
Thanks. I'm not worried about it, since I don't have any bills and get paid soon. It just sucks.
The couple of weeks right before Spring Break I usually just want to quit. I don't, spend a week having fun, and then get back to it. I appreciate the support though.
Ear Wax jammed up in my ear until the equilibrum was messed up to the point I had have it removed at the doctor office to restore my hearing.
But its great to back outside of the tunnel now!
I just got f~~#ing LAID OFF!!!!!!
I seem to recall you live near me. Any good with computers? We're looking for someone to drop patches on servers at night for 3 months at $30 an hour starting March 10th.
impotence sucks; like what the heck is that all about and whose flippin idea was it to give someone impotence and then still feel all kinds of desire and get the blue ouchy syndrome; Like what the heck is that all about; stupid blood pressure meds; so I tell the doctor and what does he do; give me more meds to overcome those meds; so like if I think I might get friskey I am supposed to take a pill an hour before; what the heck is that all about; ACK! sometimes I just want to stop taking all these meds; but then my blood pressure goes up and high BP is called the silent killer cause you dont really have any symptoms until the arteries in your eyes burst or you just have a stroke; ack; This Totally Sucks!
wow that bites the big one; hope you can get unemployment at least and can find a better job fairly soon; what state and city are you in, maybe one of us can put in a word.

Assuming you aren’t allergic to any of the following:
Clear diet pop / soda (sprite zero, diet 7 up, etc…)
Lemon (lime acceptable)
Honey
Fill a mug ¾ with the carbonated beverage of choice, microwave until piping hot. Add honey liberally (don’t go crazy, enough to coat the bottom of the mug is fine), squirt in lemon (maybe a half teaspoonish).
Let it cool a bit (though adding the ingredients after usually cools it enough), stir well, and drink it down. Should help for a while, but, as I am not a doctor, I should add: see one if symptoms do not improve…

Have you considered getting a second opinion? Your doctor seems extremely keen to pump you full of pills, which has the presumed effect of providing him with a steady income. I'm hardly qualified, as an accountant, but the US system does give the incentive to pump people full of drugs. If you are being drastically effected this way, I would expect him to review your medication, not just throw another into the pot (which rattles enough as it is). Just my suggestion, anyway.

Hm. I get this sometimes at work. The FIRST thing you need to do is determine the cause of your impotence. Do you ride a bike? Is your blood pressure through the roof? Do you take antidepressants/anti anxiety medication? It's unfortunate, truly, but it could be anything. Some say the erection is the barometer of the body's health- it could be that something COMPLETELY different is wrong. I agree with Aubrey, but I'd also get a second opinion- make sure that EVERYONE who is looking at you is on the same page and has gone down the grocery list of reasons this could be happening before you take even more medication.
In terms of non-medication ways you can help yourself out, start with your diet. Do you eat a lot of junk food? Drink a lot of coffee? I'm not saying that you should throw everything out of your cabinet and drink nothing but weak tea and eat brussel sprouts, but you should increase your oatmeal, green tea(brewed strong, of course), zinc (there's a great vitamin water that increases your zinc levels) and water intake. Make sure you get a LOT of sleep on a soft mattress. If you use a hard mattress, it may be time to go for something a little less resilient. If you are working out regularly, slow down a bit(and vice versa if your idea of exercise is rolling a d20. This isn't to say that you need to run a 4 minute mile, but you should walk one every now and again).
I know this is a message board, and that you may not necessarily want to air all of your laundry on this touchy issue here, but I'd like to keep up with you on this. E-mail me at freeholddm@yahoo.com.

In addition to seconding the good suggestions made by Freehold DM above, I thought I'd inquire about the blood pressure problem. Do you know what it's caused by (I assume yes since you're medicated for it)? Are there alternatives to the medicine and have you looked at those (if it's not genetic there might be other ways to lower the blood pressure, e.g. other diet habits, exercise etc.)?
lol; this isnt laundry to me; heck; i just imagine some guy out there wondering who might learn something from my lack of restraint; I dont know much medical stuff; I just take what they tell me; work out sporatically; but heck; things should work you know what I mean; silly hmo's are ruining health care.
hehe you should hear my friends talk who work for delivery companies; they deliver a lot of viagra; when they pull up to places, they say a wife comes running out to check the delivery; signs all in a rush runs back to the house shouting "honey; your viagra is her" talk about funny is a very much sucks kinda way; guess it is what your used to.
Just to make sure if its mental I would suggest some nice porn, if that works it could be issues, dude. But then you probably already tried that.
;)
The problem with a second opinion is, they’re hard to get if you have insurance, unless you want to pay out of pocket. Still, consulting with a doctor is always best, as Freehold DM’s diet changes, while well intentioned, would actually lead to my death (high quantities of zinc give me anaphylaxis).
Some suggestions that sound easy but really aren’t:
Try to get more rest.
Try to reduce your stress.
Switch to boxers (hate them personally, but whatever).
Take a short walk every day (end of the road and back).
Reduce caffeine intake.
Take with your doctor about a consult to an urologist.
cool; I already wear boxers; will try the walk thing; finally tried the cialis; wow; no side effects; that stuff really worked and kept working for 5 days; wow really wow.

I'm really glad to hear things are relatively back to normal for you. Cialis is one of the few ED medications I don't have much information on, so I'm glad to have a success story attached to it. And thanks for the heads up mwbeeler, that tidbit on what high levels of zinc do for you (and possibly others) is a reminder that it's never any one thing that could help someone out physically, but a change in overall lifestyle.

Wasn't a knock in any way, just so you know. Thought it was perfectly good advice for most people.
My two year old daughter lost my carkeys!!!
(edit) I misplaced them. I'm a dick.
Oh man, nothing worse than the “where did you put my X?” diatribe followed by a “oh crap it was my fault” realization.
So here I am, covered in caffeinated chapstick as I’m on a “no food or drink after midnight” restriction, yet again. Oh, and Snickers Charged bars suck compared to regular snickers. Very bitter.

Oh no, I didn't take it in a bad way at all! It was just an eye opener. The non-alcoholic kind.

R.I.P. Dick Sharkey.
This guy was my dad's best friend, and while I have no long-standing love for my father, Dick was like an uncle to me. He was a farmer, and one of the toughest, kindest people I've ever met.
Dick died this morning at 5:42 of a heart attack, while riding his tractor. He was 64.
Say hi to Gary Gygax for me,
Mr. Shiny.
I'm sorry, Shiny.
At least he was out doing something he loved, right? There's not a better way for an old farmer to go, I think.
You've got my condolences.

That name makes him sound legendary cool, man.That's a good name.
Sorry to hear Shiny.
It was on his tractor, and that's cool. I hope its the same for me, except not on a tractor, maybe on a blonde, or red-head.
Sympathies to you. Hope you're feeling ok.

- A Childhood friend committed suicide at the age of 14
- Another Childhood Friend took the doomed way of drug adiction
- I lived 8 years with asthma
- I live for three years with diabetes (type one) now
- I nearly lost a food due to a virulent infection, still I suffer from neuropathic pain attacks
- I have been beaten to unconciousness by a group of nazi bullies
- I have been robbed with a loaded gun ut to my face
- I nearly lost an older sister in a crash kid accident
- I've (literally) seen my father die in a car accident two years ago
Those are sad facts of life - I cannot change them, they left marks without which I wouldn't be where I am now, for good or ill.
Today I was told by a professor of educational science, that I must have lead a very "charmed" live, because I didn't support his claim that it is a social necessity to take childhood education out of the families hands and give it to gouvernment institutions.
I do not know what sucks more - this guy being one of my teachers at the university, or me being to stunned by his remark to react appropriatly in time.
wow; that sucks; I just have medium suckage over here.

It's always the little things.
My girlfriend is mysteriously angry with me and won't tell me why.
I'm sick as a frggin' dog (sore throat, bloody nose, headache, fever, lymph nodes swollen to the size of Brazil nuts, the works), and I still have to go to work.
The bar / coffee shop where I read poetry once a month is closed for renovations, meaning I'm out about twenty bucks. That's a lot when you're basically broke.
My parents (which I still live with, dammit) are considering evicting me, which is fine, except for the fact that I have nowhere else to go.
And finally, I gave blood on Monday, lied about my weight, so they'd take more (and consequently pay me more), and passed out in a convenience store. I woke up to find my father staring me down. He popped me one in the face and dragged me home. Both he and my mother informed me that I was a disappointment to the family, that I was worthless, and I should never have been born.
Fine. Not my g@$*++n problem.
As soon as I have the cash, I'm getting the f@$+ out of this s+%!hole town, and you're not seeing my pale ass again.
I'm a legal adult. It's not his responsibility to care for me like an ailing pet. I can handle myself.
I wish people would just leave me the f~#* alone.
Damn. I'm sorry to hear that Shiny. I can't probably add anything that'll help but I really hope things turn out for you, and if there's anything I can do, don't hesitate to ask.
I know it's probably not worth much, but you're welcome to my little corner of hell (a.k.a southern Colorado) any time. Admittedly I'll not have my own place until the summer, but the offer still stands.

Some major suckage there Shiny.
I don’t know what the employment prospects in your town are like, but I’ve gotten the sense from your various posts that you work a number of jobs on a part-time basis – and that they are probably not particularly well paying jobs.
If it’s at all a possibility, use references from those jobs to get yourself a decent paying, full time job. Even a sucky or distasteful job, working for The Man, whatever, doesn’t matter, you won’t be doing it for long. Work for long enough to build up a nice little buffer, and get out. If you’re serious about leaving town, you’ll need some money behind you, enough that you can afford somewhere to live for a while and some time to find a job that you do like.
As for the girlfriend, well you can take my advise about women with a grain of salt, but run through the following mental checklist. Have you:
Forgotten an anniversary or special occasion (however minor);
Said you’d do something (however minor) and haven’t done it;
Missed an opportunity to pay a compliment;
Had a recent conversation that ended with her saying “You can do it if you like” – and you fell for the classic trap and DID;
Truthfully answered a “does my butt look big in this?” type question;
Untruthfully answered a “does my butt look big in this?” type question;
Failed to answer a “does my butt look big in this?” type question;
Avoided a “we need to talk” conversation;
Avoided a “where is this going?” conversation;
Checked out other women in her presence;
Spoken enthusiastically about a female friend (other than her);
Recently gone out with the guys;
Recently come home drunk / stoned / late;
Considered PMS?
If it’s not any of those, you’re on your own sorry mate.

I think the above may have prompted such.

Or some b*%$@es just be crazy. There are people that enter your life and you know they are going to be drama, but you choose to deal with that side effect of the relationship becuase the payoff is good. Or its not and you just have drama all the time.
I second Mothman's suggestion with my own. Have you looked into any temp agencies? I know you don't have a college degree but you've got a high school degree, lots of good references and your frakkin' smart. Something will turn up that pays decently enough to fund a trip out.
Also, have you talked about getting a place with a few friends? Splitting rent and bills so that two or three people can have freedom makes things a lot easier.
Keep your head up.
And I know it might not mean much, seeing as I'm half a continent away, but we've always got a spare room in our place. Frak, dude, if I had any funds myself I'd send you some. That's not a healthy situation to be in and I really wish I could help more.
I'll be fine.
My problem is just that I feel like I have to be a nice guy all the time, and it gets me into sticky spots.
I'll just do my time and get the hell outta Dodge.
I agree with doing your time and getting out of the house/town/etc, but I'd draw the line at being nice all the time. You don't have to be a nice guy every day of the week. In fact, you SHOULDN'T- after a while it becomes hard to tell whether or not you are genuinely being nice or if you are just going through the motions and repressing your TRUE self, which always comes out sooner or later. Be true to yourself, so long as it's not going to result in you spending a night in the cooler. If it means being nice, then great- go for it. If it means brusquely excusing yourself from a situation you do not enjoy being in so you don't say or do something that might get you in trouble later, even better.
I'll be fine.

I agree with FreeholdDM here; sometimes you've just have to be a selfish jerk. It's human nature and if you try to deny that than it just builds up and finally explodes, wrecking your life and relationships you value. Not to say that you shouldn't try to be nice to most people most of the time but there are exceptions and there are times you just need to be selfish. The selfless are rarely the sane.
