Hey pub, what's your sign? ;)

Okay, I figure you guys might be able to shed some light on this, since every other person has some medical troubles/experience.
I haven't been eating as much lately; just plain lost my appetite, for the most part. I lost a decent amount of weight; I'm about 130 lbs. now, give or take a few. My girlfriend has been helping me remember to eat more lately, and all day I've been very tired and get dizzy quickly.
I have two theories; one is the obvious answer that I need to eat more. But the paranoid side of me is yelling that I have type 1 diabetes. (You know how once you get one of those thoughts in your head, and it won't go away, even though you know it's probably not true?)
Anyone have a clue? I'm willing to take all the heckling for a little peace of mind.

This one: :lol2

You're probably just an idiot. Glad I could help.

That was my third theory. My fourth is that my intestines are full of an annoying, but charming, family of tapeworms, who presumably have a pet amoeba.

Did you try the obvious visit a doctor thing?

I think tapeworms make you hungry, not sure though. Could be depression, drugs (not just narcotics), or even a real disease.

Well, I figured I'd wait a little longer and see what happens, because I don't exactly want to cause a stir in my family. They've been known to overreact.

As far as I know, I'm not depressed, and the only drugs I've taken since December are Advil and an over-the-counter sleeping aid every once in a blue moon.

Waiting might be bad, malnutrition can be bad and the longer it is let go the worse it gets.

But, if you still feel you must wait, get an 8 dollar bottle of Centrum from the store. Take one a day so at the very least you are still getting most of the daily vitamins and minerals you need even if you aren't getting the carbs, calories, sugars, etc that you need as well

goto a doctor cause if you have type 1 diabetes which you dont youll go into a coma

I always eat vitamins on the off-chance that I forget to eat or if I lose the motivation to make something. I recommend the once-a-day type pills, especially if you're more apt to not eat than eat. You need to keep up your health, at least a little bit.

Pro tip, you can go to the free clinic and wait in line all day. You'll see a doctor. It should cost you nothing.

Drink protein shakes please. Hard bouled eggs are a great source of pure protein.

Chojin, why don't you make a health and fitness area already. GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZ

There is
a fat Indian
sitting
in the front of me
hella
dandruff in his hair
looks like
the stars in the night.

AW COME ON GUYS
DONT GO
ILL START BATHING I PROMISE :(

Try being the only one online for hours at a time.

You and your weirdo timezone

I try to make my way on here at 3 in the morning.

thingamajig is a real word

My father wants me to talk to my brother because he's failing math and he'll get kicked off the football team. The coach, teacher, and principal talked to him already and he doesn't listen to my father anyway. The thing is that I can't tell him with a clean conscience that a person must have good grades.

For the record, I think it's stupid that girl scouts aren't allowed to sell cookies online. I'd think they'd learn as much as, if not more than, they would harassing people at the entrances to stores like the boy scouts do with that infernal popcorn.

I gotta be honest, I love me some Do-Si-Dos. Kinda bums me out. Girl Scouts should just stand in the Union - they'll sell a shit-ton of cookies to these pot-heads.

I am all about the thin mints

THINNNNN MINNNNNNTS. :orgasm

I like the peanut butter sammitch ones. Dipped in cranberry juice, but that's just me.

My mom used to freeze them to discourage us from gorging ourselves on them, but that just trained us to prefer them cold.

..

does anyone else here find it extremely obnoxious when people refer to the US as America?

I suppose you want to change the lyrics to the national anthem as well. :rolleyes

USians?

It's America. I think it's pompous to call it the United States. As though it's the only group of united regions in the world.

But America is a continent. Wouldn't that offend other Americans living in other parts not in the USA?

We should just call it, Mexico and Canada's DMZ Buffer Zone.

Hey, it was America first. Everyone else opted out. Or got killed.

I think that's the problem. What else do you call them? United Staters and Statesiders were the two prominent ones from a poll that I remember from a few years ago. Seppos was third, Yank was probably fourth.

issat from barton fink?

Who cares what other people call us. Part of being American is self entitlement to do whatever the fuck we want. I'm sure South America and Canada are gonna put up a fight. :rolleyes

fathom, you're so green while I'm so brown

septicemia

Yus. :eek

Goodman was damn scary in that one. :O

Seppos? WTF?

Yeah I have heard of all of those except seppos. So I do what I always do when I am baffled by slang, I turn to the urban dictionary

rhyming slang is the dumbest thing ever

Customer Gets Enraged Over Lack Of Sprinkles


Posted: 4:13 pm EST January 13, 2011Updated: 5:55 am EST January 15, 2011


DAYTON, Ohio -- Police in Dayton were called to the Tim Horton's restaurant on Patterson Road Thursday morning after a customer reportedly assaulted an employee over the lack of sprinkle doughnuts.The employee told police that a customer came to the drive-through and become enraged when told that there were no sprinkle doughnuts currently available. According to police, the driver pulled around to the drive-through window and started to curse at the employee, and reportedly grabbed the headset off his head and threw it across the restaurant.Police said the driver fled the scene, but was later tracked down. The driver now faces assault and menacing charges.

Sprinkles is serious business

The politically correct people just call us US citizens, I don't see why that's not good enough.

most people already call us the US, just like they call the United Kingdom the UK. It's way less pompous/arrogant than America.

Somehow I've gotten through a lifetime here without referring to it as much of anything. This is also my strategy for nebulous "call me ___" situations when I feel uncomfortable doing so.

I think of the name situation as arbitrary and inflammatory, like correcting someone's misspeak when everyone knew what they meant.

It was you, wasn't it?

is "menacing" really an actionable offense these days

I demand that you stop being so arrogant and use proper punctuation when you abbreviate my countries name.

i demand that you stop being so arrogant in correcting me when you clearly knew what i meant

ok guys we gotta start posting really slowly now, don't let it get to 3000 :(


i'm looking at you pub

no way newb

i think elx is a communist, you guys

..

I'll stop posting forever in return for a picture of your dick. :eek

Or a hug. :tear

What is wrong with being a communist? As a Socialist; I hope to digivolve one day into Communist. :eek

Stalin the Steelmon

elx is an american't

Nothings wrong with it, Commie girls tend to be purdy

yussssssss omg

If it is, I have a case against about 50 Comcast customers that have called in during the past week.

Those are some fucked up eyes. She looks like the girls that live too close to pulp mills.

I rented "Dead Snow". Any input? Nazi zombies? Anyone?

Those look way harder to do than they actually are. I just keep forgetting my good sushi knife at my mom's house :(

Did I ever tell you the bologna-sushi story, Tadao?

It may be 9AM on a Sunday, but I've got Gordon Lightfoot to keep me company.

No, sounds disgusting. Would probably taste like musubi if you fries they bologna. :yum

A few years back, my grandmother got me one of those sushi-making sets for Christmas. The kind with the plastic molds that hold the rolls and have the slots for slicing. Anyway, I opened it and she told me that she wanted me to make her some sushi. Not sashimi, of course.

So I sort of scrutinized her Christmas leftovers and found some Minute Rice in a cabinet, and did the best I could with what was there. I knew it wasn't going to taste good, being as it was minute rice and turkey and cranberry sauce and the stale nori that came with the sushi kit, but it was the best I could produce under the circumstances.

The nori came out really fishy-smelling and gross, and she immediately decided she didn't like it and pulled that off. She wanted me to make more, but she wanted a roll wrapped in bologna instead of nori. And it had to be a roll, not like spam musubi. So then I was trying to figure out how to get a thick slice of garlic bologna to stay around the minute rice.

She tried the bologna roll and picked the cranberry sauce out of it, and then told me it would be perfect with gravy. So she poured chicken gravy on top of the mess and ate it. To this day she tells people about the wonderful sushi I make.

That's my bologna sushi story. :tldr

If she had replaced the rice with lard it would be the most revolting thing I could imagine involving food. :eek

:lol Crazy people. My dad is full Jap and he bought one of plastic sushi kits. When I saw that horrid thing I challenged them to a sushi off and I could make three rolls to their one.

How did you get the lunchmeat to stay rapped? An green onion tie around?

I can't remember. The minute rice was a horrid consistency to begin with. I think by the time I sliced it and got it on the plate, it was starting to come apart. Don't even get me started on the smell of steamed bologna and minute rice. She didn't mind, though.

I know you can use thin-slice lunchmeat for nori, but I haven't done it myself. If I had it to do over again, I'd have done them California style and just skipped the inside nori, but that was probably putting an undue amount of faith on the stickiness of minute rice.

:pagebrak

dammit, Pub, I was going to make a valentines thread closer to the day :(

When is the day? :eek

No one reads this thread anyway. :eek

Assuredly not my posts in it. :eek

I'm trying out a new recipe for a flourless torte. It uses quinoa. Smells good so far...

This thread is the only one I make sure to read.

General Question: I have some silver fake leather. What do I make with it?

If I make a costume with it, I'll rarely wear it, so what practical daywear could I create?

A costume.

a daycostume

like gloves or weird socks

A LEATHER THONG.

WITH MATCHING BIKINI TOP.

TO WEAR FOR ME.

This or the gloves.

I'd thought uber tight trousers or hot pants. I've got loads, so I could probably make all of the above anyway.

one of those leather hats that gay bikers or bad guys wore in old movies

This was going to be my suggestion earlier. :eek

But then I was disgusted at myself for being really eager to see your ass in them. :eek

When my internet perverseness matches my real perverseness I get ashamed. :eek

Guys, she has a great butt. Vote that idea higher. :eek

how is that perverse for you? :lol

I must be old or straight or something because the first thing I thought of was a backpack or bag of some sort.

A 28 year old virgin whose only outlet is exaggerated sexual 'jokes' on the internet. :eek

yea but usually your jokes are about manhandling penises and now its like, "ID LIKE TO SEE YOU IN SOME SEXY PANTS" which i dunno just seems normal and non-perverse by comparison
