meatpimp posted:I thought I was on my way to alcoholism with 2-4 beers most evenings... then I was in a camping situation with no alcohol at all and was kinda disappointed that I had no desire for booze... but that takes it to a level far past my binge-iest. Alcoholism is less about how much you drink and much more about why you drink. I also got to the point where I was drinking during the work day, because work was just so loving horrible, and I drank at night so that I could go to sleep because I suffer from PTSD.

Nice, that showed me all the iOS apps that were downloaded on my computer (but stored on the iCloud anyways so why waste 16GB of storage on that). Thanks!

I was drinking two or three fifths a week, then I switched my method of coping to weed, which has wound up being more expensive but I'm more able to function in society and I'm not hung over for 8 hours every day until I could get a drink in me so that's something

Drinking a beer or two after a hard ride is incomparable, though. Unfortunately, it's getting colder here and I got my cross bike out for the first time in six months and really felt what a difference 35mm tires make on a climb. That is not a good difference. But the beer still tasted fantastic.

Elmnt80 posted:Just had a family member buy a mower off someone and got told I needed to fix it and that "The person I bought it from said it only needs a spark plug!". I had a sneaking suspicion that just from the condition it was in, the problem wasn't just a bad spark plug. Said gently caress it, swapped a new spark plug into it just for fun. Guess which one of us was right and now gets to make the piece of junk work with a budget of $0? Tell them to get hosed, you didn't agree to fixing it beforehand. Charge them full shop rate plus inconvenience fee for presuming your time.

Dunno yet, gotta go talk to the GI doc first. It varies from person to person for the symptoms and treatments although I read that 70% end up needing surgery at some point. I'm just hoping I don't end up with a colostomy bag  Although I also read that spicy food is a no go which sucks donkey balls.

leica posted:Hay guys, any advice on where to put my poo poo bag whilst auto Xing my Miata? Leave it in such a place that you can hose the people behind you with the contents. E: I usually have a beer or two on week nights, and pound mix drinks on weekends till I get rotgut for 3 days, then quit for a few. Not an alchy at all, its just a hobby to actively try and kill everything inside of me.

Sucks man, but even if it does come to that, from what I've seen they're no longer like they were even ten years ago. Much easier to conceal. But hopefully you can get away with just meds and diet. In other sick news, don't know what the gently caress happened but I have a goddamn ridiculous sinus cold right now. AI is now getting us sick over the internet.

Pizzachat: I just discovered yesterday, thanks to my sister, that Schlotzky's has pizza using a variant of their sourdough bread as the crust. The grilled chicken pesto was delicious. Helped that same sister string about a 1/4 mile of fence, 2 strands of barbed and 4 of smooth wire on Sunday. My entire body hates me. At least I'm not sick like everyone else, except maybe mentally (I agreed to go back next weekend and string some more. There's a mile or so total. I'm just happy I wasn't available to put in the posts. T-posts, but lots of rock.) Everybody stop being sick, OK? e: I drink maybe one beer a day when I have some in the fridge. Been buying hard apple cider, lately, though. I don't like bitter stuff, and it's far easier to find cider that's not bitter versus beer.

I'm in the minority here, I don't drink at all. I used to enjoy a craft beer here and there but after my doctor told me to stop I haven't really gone back. The few times that I have drank since then I've realized that I don't like the taste of alcohol, can taste it much more than others, and generally don't like the feeling of being intoxicated. My vice though is food. I can really put it away when I want to.

Previous hospital visits include perforated small bowel, intestinal obstruction, and early enteroenteric fistula formation. I'm starting an infusion drug in early November that'll kick the poo poo out of me, but hopefully also kick the poo poo out of the Crohn's. The bad news is that it's not curable, but the good news is that there are people who go into year or longer remission when they start medical treatment. I don't have the hard stats on that, but it's nice to know that it's a possibility. Anyway, welcome to the club.

I have UC and have gone through every available drug, and just started remicade this summer. Apart from solumedrol and prednisone, it's the only one that's even halfway helped. I've only really been in remission for a month now for the first time in nearly 3 years. UC and chron's aren't really diet related, you only really have to avoid foods that cause physical aggrivation.

I have IBS, Lactose Intolerance, and I can't eat any food cooked with Canola Oil. Most foods bother me atleast a little, some to the point that I have to know where the closest bathroom is at all times, still others I am curled up on the bathroom floor in pain. I feel for you, bad-stomach goons.

I had UC, and had to get a colectomy, but it was reconstructed. I have to take six pills a day to keep myself from making GBS threads to death because the pouch also gets inflamed really badly, but other than that, I can live a pretty normal life other than making GBS threads a lot. I could probably stop that if I stopped living off of spicy food and Mountain Dew.

My aggravator seems to be anything to do with meat. which sucks, because meat and its byproducts are amazing. So vegetables, artificial meats, and beer and I'm quite a bit better. add in 2-3 probiotics almost normal. except those times I fuckup and give in to steaks, bacon, cheeses, or any other goodness wrecking me for several days.

I also don't like being drunk so that makes things easier.

My guts are made of titanium and hatred, I can't remember the last time I had more than minor indigestion. Likewise for my immune system, when I do get sick it's for maybe a day or two at most, if it even gets that bad. I'm probably going to keel over stone dead one day or something.

I caught some serious hatred at lunch on Friday when one of my coworkers finished a sentence with "and I've found portion control is very important in dieting." and I looked up from my third two inch thick fluffernutter, grinned, and said "yeah! It really is"  (I might be an rear end in a top hat) Being able to eat anything and not have any indigestion problems or weight gain is great, but I'm sure it won't last much longer and then I'll have to actually watch my food intake.
