Just a simple knee surgery but I'm honestly loving nervous, mostly about the goddamn tube going down my throat. If you're like me, you won't be remotely awake for the intubation. I had a hernia repair a few years back and I distinctly remember the initial injections as they wheeled me off, getting transferred from the gurney to the table, and then a warning of "okay, this one might burn a little...". I started to say "more than a little" but I was blacked out by halfway through "than". Woke up a few hours later groggy as gently caress and yelling very loudly about a very painful reaction my skin had with the drat disinfectant.

some texas redneck posted:He also has a loving awesome Boxer. He opened the door and said "watch out he bites!" as his dog ran up to me wagging his tail; I just laughed, knelt down, and started scratching a dog that appeared to be very, very content. I seriously wanted to take that dog home with me. I wish my delivery dog stories were that nice. Mine vary from painful to sad. I once got punched in the nuts by a 100 pound fluff ball who was trying to climb me and lick my face. Bastard didn't make a peep when I rang the bell so I wasn't expecting it. After the people stopped laughing and got him back inside they tried to get a discount because I dropped the pizza (still in the bag/box). One time a boxer broke some decorative glass on the door trying to attack me when I pulled up. It was hilarious to me but the owner was probably annoyed. Another time one chased my car down the street while I was looking for an address. He caught the car and bit my bumper. I'd have been more annoyed but karma struck back quick and tragically in that case. Sorry about your lovely owners dog, but leash laws exist for a reason.

Oh trust me, I've been nipped by my share of ankle biters. All of them have "just" been a nip though. I've gotten a hell of a lot better at reading dogs because of that, and it's generally easy for me to tell if a dog is going to be lovely or friendly. If I know it'll be lovely, I immediately turn my side to the dog, which seems to confuse them a bit. If I can tell it's friendly, I've got one hand out ready to scratch them (also for them to sniff, since most dogs won't let you touch them until they've sniffed your hand a bit). If there's a dog outside, I don't even bother stopping for the delivery - I call them and say I won't do the delivery because there's a dog outside, but they're welcome to meet me in my car if they feel safe around the dog. Probably the oddest dog story involved one that ran out and jumped on me... while pissing on my shoe. Can't fault the dog, it was very young, and obviously excited to see someone. I was more annoyed at the owner who just laughed and said "yeah he does that" then tipped me $2, while I had a shoe soaked in dog piss. Thankfully, I keep an extra change of clothes in the car all the time, including shoes and socks, but I always made that customer meet me at the curb after that. I really don't post the negative stories much, even though they're usually far and few between, unless one really, really stands out. I'd rather stay positive. The job sucks rear end, but if I focused on the negative aspects, I would have killed myself years ago. And this boxer didn't make a peep either - the only noise he ever made was a "chuff" noise when I stopped scratching him, more of a "why the gently caress did you stoooooooooooooooooop?!?!?" noise. But most of the regulars know me, and by proxy, their dogs know me. There's one guy that has an awesome lab that always runs out with a rope toy in her mouth (same apartment complex as the lotto guy), and I always wind up throwing it back inside a few times, followed by getting licked to death before I leave (that dog also has the most bone chilling bark you'll ever hear when you knock on the door). Another regular has a massive (fat) corgi that's always trying to attack my shoelaces, then tries to remove my face via licking when I kneel down to say hello. Honestly, interacting with (most) dogs is one of the best parts of this job, followed by interacting with kids. Most of them anyway. Some of them are real shitheads, the majority are "OMGGGGG PIZZA MAN!!!". edit: goddamnit. just tried to smoke 3+ month old  . I usually vape, so I don't taste a whole lot even when it's nasty.

Losing weight is diet related though so as you're losing at the moment and feeling better maybe suggest looking into adjusting what you both eat on a day to day basis? She'd basically have to do zero work and she'd still lose weight, also you get to eat tasty food and maybe learn some cooking skills on the way.

Fat wife: it is hilariously common that a guy will get it into his head to do a bit of working out/shaping up then immediately get upset the SO isn't following suit. Create opportunities but you cannot push someone into this. If you have a dog take it for walks. Occasionally ask if she'll come along. Find a new hobby that gets you both outdoors like archery. Just telling someone they're a fatty fatty fat fat and shouldn't be won't work, ever.

I know it's a broken record in this place but holy hell, what kind of demonic possession are some of these people that post on Tumblr on? The absolute shitstorm of crazy honestly had me reaching for a crucifix. Otherkin and gently caress me the hole just goes waaaaaaay deeper from there. I just blocked that whole shitstorm at the routers at work. We were wondering what someone was spending their time on and dear Lord, I'm regretting reading what pages they were. Hey, this is Something Awful and you do see a lot of hosed up messes as a result if you venture to FYAD and GBS and who the gently caress knows elsewhere (and of course sys admins see the firewall logs. I'm no stranger to some hosed up things people read on IT networks) but this....... I'm not joking, I honestly consider Tumblr proof positive demons are real and they are possessing people. This is just plain next level insanity.

I used to follow some of the tumblr threads on here until I realised I wasn't laughing at them anymore and they were actually making me miserable. Eventually the "haha what a nut" runs thin as the torrent of horror from that place never slows down. It is certainty some sort of eldritch abomination

So my brothers car started on fire last week. He had some amp wires just sitting on the carpet in his trunk along with a half gallon of motor oil. When he was driving earlier he said his gauges were going crazy and was having other electrical problems and could smell something burning but didn't really look for the problem. Later in the day he went out to get some cigarettes, shouted "my cars on fire!" so I rushed outside. Nothing going on in the cabin expect for smoke, so we popped the hood. Nothing there so we popped the trunk and got blasted with a ton of smoke and we could tell something was sparking in the middle of it all. So we got some fire extinguishers and blasted it but because of the entirely melted motor oil container it kept jumping up and starting a 1 ft high fire. I'm using the extinguisher, my brothers at the engine looking for the battery to disconnect and my fathers calling 911. First responder gets here and they still cant find the battery so I look it up on my phone and the battery is in the drat trunk. So the fire didn't spread beyond the 1 ft patch or so in the trunk, but the cabin still smelled pretty bad. That lucky gently caress got a $6000 check from his insurance just because the cleaning bill would've been too big. So he doesn't have any other money, didn't start his new job yet (part time at a deli) and what does is he going to buy today? An awd bmw x5 with 162k miles.

I think it has less to do with tumblr and more to do with the fact that there is a growing segment of middle class kids coming out of high school that don't have a job and don't really know how the real world works and are stuck in an endless feedback loop where they all reassure each other's life views. Tumblr is just the platform.

CommieGIR posted:I liked Interstellar so much, I printed the ship: Neat! Are those 3D prints of the robots from Silent running I see in the background, there? Car stuff: Oh, hey, it wasn't the alternator bearings making noise, which I only discovered after I bought the overrunning clutch pulley removal tool, because I'm too stupid to, you know, remove the belt and spin stuff by hand before buying tools/parts. At least I didn't buy a replacement alternator first: $200 new/rebuild, $80-90 used (200A cop stuff.) the tool was only $25. Turned out to be the water pump bearing. Wasn't leaking yet. Oh, hey Ford, aluminum water pump in a cast iron block, which fits in closely with an o-ring seal. Let's not put any sort of grease or anti-seize on that, shall we? Even in Texas that thing took a lot of hammering on pry-bars to get out. Now I just need to replace the EGR (actually, the DPFE, but it's integrated with the EGR assembly) to get rid of the P0401, get it inspecticated, then registered (title transfer already done), and I'm good. Love my P71.

The cheap-but-good Chinese restaurant downtown has a great $6 lunch special with 40 different choices. Two of my co-workers and I have decided to order everything on the menu over the course of a year, rating each one on a scale of 0-5. We had #16 this week, Chicken w/ Black Bean Sauce (rated 4.0/5). So there's that once a week... and burritos down at the taqueria, or Indian buffet... goddamn I love work lunch, but if I eat out at lunch I have to be a lot more careful what I eat for dinner.

The only time when I have been 100% under was when I was 7. The doc was super cool, he showed me the mask, told me it was OK to breathe the air coming out of it, and encouraged me to try it. Sure enough, it worked, the air was breathable. So then he said: "OK, we'll add the anesthetic, and it'll taste like liquorice. Try it again." So I did. Next thing I remember is waking up in the recovery room. Sneaky basterd.

My wife works at a high end dog training center and golden retrievers are one of the most frequent breeds they get for "dog almost ate someone's face and will be put down if this doesn't work" cases. I would guess it's either breed popularity to turn away existing dog owners or else they had some really bad experiences with lab owners in the past.

Never happy, constantly wanting more and never happy with what she had. Sorry for E/N here.... that was uncalled for.
