If you can afford it... garlic & onions, honey + ibuprofen. Should help you out if you try out a dollar store or budget friendly equivalent.

That's actually pretty similar to remedies I've used in the past.

Also, I kinda seriously want to go to your house the next time you slow roast some walrus because that sounds really good

Bro, I can't even afford a full tank of gas, how can I get all that?


In other news, I just coughed up an amazing amount of phlegm after waking up to someone staring at me through my car's window. Goddamn do I miss privacy.

Hmmmm . . . Have you tried looking at this site (assuming you're still in Florida)?
You worked, you paid taxes, now its time to get your tax return.

Most walruses can get as big as a polar bear. While walruses seem like an easy meal to younger polar bears, most older ones don't bother with em from what I've heard. Yeah... those tusks can kill and their fat blubber acts like a natural armor which makes polar bears sometimes struggle with biting into them.

Interesting.

From the few times I've had it over the past years: a leaner, gamey veal/beef with hints of fishiness.
Actually exquisite if you slow roast it with a dutch oven.

Alright, I'm putting walrus meat on my bucket list now.

We have trout. And they get record size big too. There's pike - actually there's a lake that's famous in my tribe for producing crazy huge pike, like several feet long at least.

What species of trout?

Do you eat the pike? I've had them and they're fairly bony so I prefer walleye or rainbows instead.

And the sturgeon? God, don't even get me started on them.

Aren't sturgeon strictly catch and release because they're endangered?

You ain't kidding.


Anyone want to hear some heartwarming shit? Check this out;

There I was kinda slumped at a picnic table getting some air and nursing my cough while messing with my phone and one of the people who were picnicking on the other side of the rest area comes over with a sturdy paper plate heaving with food and says"You look like you're having a rough time of it, this'll make you feel better, guaranteed,"

The plate was loaded with boneless pork chops, mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese, and turnip greens.
Y'know what? I was both touched and I do feel better.

If anyone tells you I cried a bit into my plate of soul food from the kindness of the act… they're right, it was also fucking delicious.

Maybe someone can help me solve this problem, because it's driving me insane.

So I have a list of 192 items, named and numbered, from 1 to 204. 116-120 and 123-130 are missing, should be 12 missing in total, giving 192.

I have these items divided into groups of 16, which 192 perfectly divides into 12 groups. All in order. The first and last number of each group is correct.

The problem: I just found 116 in the group it should be in, the one with all the gaps... Which means another one should be missing, since the division is perfect. Since 193 doesn't divide into 16.

But the rest of the numbers all line up still. All the groups have the correct amount, the right start and end numbers, and all the items, both on the list and actual, definitely exist.

The only thing I haven't done is go through each individual item in each individual group, but the start and end numbers should be different if that's wrong - I'll do that in a bit but I don't expect it to work.

Anyone have a clue where my missing item went? There's no 0 item, before you ask.

Sounds like a case of "sibling borrowed something and put it back in the wrong spot" to me. Possibly multiple somethings.

Snnnnrk. It's not actually physical objects. I was being vague on purpose, but putting it like that is hilarious!

But that's definitely not the case. Somehow there are 192 items on the list, all 192 are accounted for, and then there's one more thing that somehow doesn't make the count come up 193. I've checked and I'm still baffled.

if it should be 12 missing then you gave the wrong range for missing things, since the missing range count you gave comes up to 13.

1. 116
2. 117
3. 118
4. 119
5. 120
6. 123
7. 124
8. 125

Oh, I see what I did. I was counting the missing items on my fingers, the first five on one hand and the other 8 on my other, and then missed counting my thumb being down for some damn reason.

Never mind, crisis over, I'm just blind and apparently can't count.
 
Scygnus said:
...You've never counted past five on one hand? Generally you just start putting them down to count to ten. I just wasn't looking at my thumb for some stupid reason, after putting it down to hit six.

The way I count on my fingers is:

Right fingers: 1 2 3 4
Right thumb: 5 and turn down fingers, that gets to 9 on one hand.

Left fingers 10 20 30 40
Left thumb: 50 and turn down fingers, this gets me to 99 using both hands.

Or lack of sleep. Could be that too.

I touch my finger-tips while counting rather than put them down.
 
Aaaah! I want to continue that quest story, but the votes on how to are tied and I can't wait for the deciding one!

I am going insine!
 
Still sick y'all, but I'm living the dream.

Due to a very generous donation I am currently in a motel room. For the first time in a long time I have actual privacy. Of late I've been either in my car, in a shelter, or in a hospital. No privacy in any of those places.
I took an afternoon nap after a long shower and I slept better in that nap than I have in a loooong time. No subconscious worry about people walking up on me or anything like that. Plus, I could take off my clothes and just relax and sleep without being eyeballed by strangers.

It was the the best.

I'm looking forward to going to bed soonish.

Also, got to break out the ol piece of shit laptop. Fucking thing doesn't have a video card and cost about 100$ in 2018.

Still way more convenient to type on than a phone though.

How do I stop being so hypercritical of everything I watch? It's making me hard to enjoy things for the sake of enjoying them.

You could always try being hypercritical of your own hypercriticalness.

More seriously, try finding a work that is vaguely like works you have enjoyed in the past, that you only know about by the briefest description otherwise, and going in blind to read/watch it.
 
The motel was a good choice, still sick but I don't feel as weak as I did after that deep rest.
Dozing off at this rest area I had a unique nightmare; I specifically dreamed that I had been driving before dozing off.

That'll jolt ya awake!

Nevertheless the duration of this illness is edging into "worrisome" territory.

The Mobile Millionaires Cabal is still very present as well. No idea what campground or campgrounds are drawing so many of them. <shrug>

So I was driving down a town street (was in town to get some groceries) and I passed by a sign that said "Beta Center"…

Right nearby were a few soft looking guys in pastel polo shirts standing around and talking.

I started laughing so hard I had to pull over and it triggered a coughing fit that went right back to laughing as it cleared up.

I almost passed out.

So I accidently made my new quest in the general questing section rather than the NSFW section? How do I fix that? I guess maybe I should contact a mod? Or is there a tooltip I can use directly? Or do I need to delete and repost?
