That was an exaggeration; I was not struggling with alcoholism though at the rate I'm going, it wouldn't be far off lol.

What kind of work do you do that is so monotonous?

Just look away if it helps. Once you do it and see its not painful or dangerous you won't be so afraid to take a needle in the future. I've given blood and I can watch as the needle goes in. Doesn't bother me. I'm group IV which corresponds to AB I believe. Rare blood type. Maro: If you need to find...

Dipper: Welcome to Windlyn and sleep well. There is ONE game I play once in a while. It's an amusing parody involving the Serbian president but is actually addicting once you start playing. Gingerale: To the border of alcoholism. Thank you for the warm welcome. How are you? galled: While it's true t...

Replying nearly 5 months later... Art is discretionary. Yes, it makes things more visually pleasing. But would my life be very different if, say, an invitation was written to me on a simple white piece of paper in the same basic font throughout than on a fancy greeting card simple complete with illu...

I like Visual Basic (which is kind of outdated) and GUI programming as much as or possibly more than web design which is mostly aesthetic part of programming. At one point I thought about graphic design but I laugh thinking back on that. As Oscar Wilde wrote "all art is quite useless". Win...

I don't feel bad at all, but I know I have to accept the new technology and that a lot of communication is electronic now and will be even more so in the future. Especially if I'm going to be a programming major. Languages of programming are evolving, new software is being released, which may not be...

It's usually the people who've suffered who are the kindest, most grateful, and most humble. And it's much easier to adapt when you've known what it's like to live with very little (as opposed to someone who grew up with every comfort and one day has to do everything on his own). If you want to talk...

You're an appreciative person, like me. I don't need much and I'm thankful for anything that I'm offered. I also try to return the favor and be as little of a burden as possible. It's easier when you don't have much. That's brave of you. I could pack up and leave but I want to take advantage of the ...

Where did you stay at 16, and for how long? That's very brave and I'd like to hear your story. You can send me a PM if that's better for you. I am not concerned about the election. The fact that someone like Trump can even win the presidential election means WE HAVE A DEMOCRACY. Americans need to st...

Galled: physically it's very comfortable at home. But there's a...negative energy, if you will, where I live from all the shit I've gone through with my family. Maybe I've begun to associate this house with stress and that's had an impact on my sleep. The fact is, when I'm away I can sleep and I did...

Hey friends. I'm off sleep meds by choice. It's not ideal but it's enough to function and now I don't have that dependency on pills. I sleep better away from home. Doctor said I have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) which is basically the "I don't know" diagnosis of the gastro world. To save...

Mosquitoes carry a plethora of diseases other than Zika (not to mention annoying) so swat them down whenever you can. As a man who isn't planning on having children yet, it doesn't bother me because it passes. I would be concerned if someone I know had it, even if they aren't having children. Probio...

Drink enough alcohol, that'll put you out. Something that does help is avoiding electronics before going to sleep. If you're bored, read a book (real book, not eBook or pdf). I have to take sleep meds now. I always was iffy about sleep meds I usually just lay in the dark until I eventually knock ou...

*checks stomach* https://s9.postimg.org/hdr0f6pcf/9_funny_photos_9_14_16.png We're good. I'm really not afraid of zika. I'd be cautious but I won't turn into a hypochondriac because of it. I got some probiotics as an attempt to help until the lab figures out what's wrong with me. There isn't a big h...
