I just want to be able to go on Amazon and Steam binges. Is that so wrong? Oh and cigarettes. Mostly that. I'm assuming booze will be provided, but if not then mostly that too.

My appetite is still on point. I'm not putting on any substantial weight but I've stopped losing. Funny thing is that based on my age, height, and weight, a number of online BMI calculators say I'm normal at 135. (my old weight of 165 put me on the upper end of normal).

Mike Update:

For about a year he's been working at his friend's bed and breakfast place in Three Rivers, CA which is southeast of San Fransisco - about a 5 hour drive from us if there's no traffic. He doesn't get paid but has free room and board and meals. He sounds happy which is really, really good.

He spent the weekend up in Oregon visiting his girlfriend. He just posted this. She's right behind him (awesome girl).

Talk about living life on your own terms. As much as I wish he'd gone the normal route (school, degree, great paying job, marriage, grandkids, etc.) can't help but admire the road he's chosen.
Meh, I think she looks a little .... horsey? :laughing:
Ah seriously: great news on your health Chula. Now don't do a Homer...

I'm just playing. I spend most of my money at the corner store.

Before we met my bf and I lived in the same general neighborhood and went to the same corner store often. The guy that owned it knew us both by name and cigarette brand and when we started dating and going in together dude was so stoked lol. He had known us both for five plus years at that point so it must have been a trip. We have since moved and have a new corner store now but that guy whose name I never remembered will for sure be invited to the wedding lol

And my corner store bro knows to see if I'm wearing my backpack before giving me my double bags. And some time I buys two packs of cigs if I have two days off, so I'll get slightly wasted and need a whole pack of cigs, but my gas station dude always knows and asks.

Ol’ Qwerty Bastard 08-29-2017 02:10 PM
my cornerstore dude is a 65+ year old little woman, she's pretty rad though.

Frownland 08-29-2017 02:18 PM
My corner store dude's name is a dude from Georgia (country) named Naz that everyone calls Nazhole because Nazi is too easy and he'll flip a better name on you. He calls everyone cocksuckers, gets in fistfights with code enforcers, and will raise the price of a 6 pack right at the register if it's the last one in stock and he wants it. We're like this, obviously.

The Batlord 08-29-2017 02:29 PM
I don't even know my corner store dude's name. He's an Indian/Pakistani Super Mario looking dude with a wife too hot for him who works at the store too, but he keeps her pregnant. lulz

Frownland 08-29-2017 02:35 PM
My corner store dude can beat up your corner store dude.

The Batlord 08-29-2017 03:35 PM
My corner store dude has enough kids to beat you up.

Plankton 08-30-2017 08:14 AM
Sadly, my corner store was closed this year. It opened in 1979, the year my family moved in down the street. I even worked there stocking shelves when I was in HS. There were a few different CSD's, but the last CSD, his name was Frank. He was cool for a CSD. Had an accent like most CSD's, and was probably foreign. *shrug* Bye CSD.

Chula Vista 08-30-2017 09:16 AM
Rip csd.

Trollheart 08-30-2017 09:25 AM
CSD: Miami. :laughing:

You people are weird. We never really had "corner stores" here. Where I originally lived there were shops just at the end of the street, though literally about ten houses up from us there was one small shop which was where we went mostly for sweets and comics and stuff. Wasn't on a corner though.

Then, when we moved out to Darndale, which was actually in the process of being built, there were no shops at all. So some enterprising people used to bring vans of produce into the estate, most of which stayed there as sort of static shops. Once the big shopping centre opened across the road though, that was the end of them. I kind of miss the "vans". It used to be commonplace to ask "Is the van still open? "or to say "Hop over to the van there and get some milk would you?"

They're just small, general grocery/liquor shops that aren't necessarily on the corner. They just tend to be there because of higher traffic.

Yeah: reminds me of a soccer-related joke (probably won't get it unless you know British culture but anyway) ---

Why do Pakistanis make such terrible strikers?
Cos every time they get a corner, they build a shop on it!

Told you you wouldn't get it. Monkey knows...

Frownland 08-30-2017 09:42 AM
I get it, it's just not very funny.

In other news, I haven't thrown up in a couple of weeks, and that other porcelain task is also back to normal.

'grats Chules. a couple days of Welbutrin and my prescription to fight acid reflux and now I can finally eat normally again as well. the last two weeks have consisted of 1 or 2 small meals a day max and for the most part I struggled to even keep that down.

The CT scan noted that all of my #2 plumbing organs were "unremarkable".

I'm eating good again, am not throwing up, and am "regular" again - plus as of yesterday morning I've put 5 pounds back on.

That's a hell of a breakfast.

Lisnaholic 09-03-2017 07:25 PM
Sorry, Trollheart, out of solidarity I'd like to say your joke was a fine example of subtle British humour, but on this occassion it's difficult to make that case. :(

TBH, Chula's phrase, "that other porcelain task" made me smile more!

Pet_Sounds 09-04-2017 02:50 PM
Hey Chula, I know I'm late to the party (been busy), but congrats!
