Well drat you know what GP docs tell you when they give you a Valium prescription, like, don't take more than three per day or you'll pass out. On the other hand, today I consumed no less than [b]120[b] Valiums and I feel... nothing. Bloody hell, I must be related to Ozzy Osbourne.

Good news, straight benzodiazepine use won’t kill you Bad news, 120 Valium means you have a horrendously high tolerance, the pills went out of date in like 1996, or the pills were pure duff

This is a long shot, but does Croatia offer any sort of meaningful rehab. It would be nice if you didn't have to drink/drug yourself to death.

Here, I'm gonna share a Youtube ad for my Property C apartment (which went to the lady with the puppy.) There is no english translation so far, but apart from a few jokes ("upon catching my reflection in a mirror; I said woah look a me, I'm pretty like a painting, I should be hung on the wall") the monologue is rather dry and not really worth the translation effort. Just to let you know what you can get in Croatia for 240 euros (utilities not included.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjA7kNzVAAY

I had an apartment about that size in New York in the late 80s and I think I paid $1100 for it. Hit up the bathtub tile surround with some bleach, though.

Several things; I personally don't like rugs because they're unsanitary and difficult to maintain, and as far as tenants are concerned, they give a flying gently caress about the well being of the rug and the drat thing would've been ruined within minutes.

So that’s what goes for 240€ in Zagreb today. I am guessing utilities go on top of that? Another 100-150€? That’s a sizeable chunk out of your wages if you’re waiting on tables or doing something similar to get by

That’s a sizeable chunk out of your wages if you’re waiting on tables or doing something similar to get by That's not a concern of mine. I'd rather rent to a hooker than a waiter because the former is swimming in cash and the latter is picking pennies off the sidewalk. Harsh, yes, but that's just the way things are.

You can eke as low as 200€ for a studio if there aren't too many interested parties who'd take an apartment from your hands. That means noisy neighbors, cheap and hasty construction, bugs, or hell even the apartment may be the sweetest thing ever but bloody hell it's in the boonies. It' your money, you decide what to do with it.

I ask €250 for a flat similar to his (not as new but has a balcony). The prices are bound to go up though because for reasons unfathomable to us from Zagreb, the city started attracting tourists so a lot of flat owners switched from long term rent to Air Bnb. I could probably find tenants for €300.

spankmeister posted:What does a nice, say 2 bedroom 75 m2 apartment cost? If you wanna buy it, ~120,000 to ~180,000€ For rent, ~600€ per month, utilities naturally not included and they can be astronomical. For the purpose of this metric, I looked up apartments which are located in my estate (in Zagreb) which is generally considered nice.

This is something that I was wondering about from your last video; are apartments in Zagreb typically fully furnished when you rent? Every place I or one of my friends has moved into has been completely empty when we moved in.

Every place I or one of my friends has moved into has been completely empty when we moved in. Yea, the apartments are expected to be fully furnished the landlord being the owner of the furniture, so that the tenant can move in immediately. You can add some bells and whistles to the apartment, such as LCD TV set, a wireless internet connection, and the like. It increases the price of the apartment, so as a landlord, it's in your best interest to furnish the apartment well.

spankmeister posted:Hmm that's not as cheap as I'd imagined tbh. Well I forked over 45,000€ for this 25m2 studio. It really depends upon where you want to buy real estate, I went for one of the hottest estates in Zagreb because I knew that it's gonna be easy to rent out the apartment in question even though I paid an astronomical price for it (considering the condition and the size of the apartment) Also, I got prescribed Pregabalin, and not just any pill, but the strongest one (300 mg). A single capsule of this stuff is enough to flop over a rhinoceros. I feel great, a bit woozy, and I have double vision, but that's not what I'd consider a problem, I love this stuff (even though I sometimes run into walls like an idiot, thinking I'm going through the doors which are 80 cm to the side) Getting prescribed Pregabalin from your doctor basically means "I don't know what to do with you anymore, so take this stuff, get high as poo poo and leave me alone" We'll see how this will develop.

I bought three apartments in the same estate (Siget) during the economic slump and prices of real estate gradually came down. I paid 45,000 for apartment A, 40,000 for apartment B, and 38,000 for apartment C. These three are enough to keep me floating financially, even though I need to be very frugal with my money.

Geez, I think my druggie career has come to an end. Pregabalin calmed me the gently caress down and I did the impossible and started taking my therapy as prescribed. Pregabalin is not to be toyed with, the euphoria effect disappears after a few days and taking a huge dose will only make you dizzy. Now that we're on dizziness, I got hurt pretty bad because of Pregabalin. I have a makeshift seat next to my bed which is composed out of blocks of industrial foam, it's pretty comfy but it is ugly as all hell and is slated for the axe before too long, but that's not the point. Anyway, I was sitting on it one day, ten days ago to be precise, and when I stood up I suddenly got extremely dizzy, lost my balance and fell sideways... right onto the pointy bedpost. It struck me directly in the side, stabbing both my hapless liver and kidney, and as I was falling to the ground, the bedpost snagged up over every rib on the right side of my body. The end result is that my whole side, going up from the navel all the way up to the armpit, hurts like a motherfucker and my liver feels like a foreign body shoddily stapled to the spine - coughing, for example, is an ordeal. The irony of all this is that I'm bearing the not insignificant pain without any painkillers because aggressive chemicals like Tramadol are the last thing my liver needs in this state. I expect this condition to last for a very, very long time, and I have to be very gentle to my liver for at least six months or even more. That means no funny pills and not a drop of alcohol. I said "even more" because drugs have lost their lustre in my eyes. Sure, I won't complain against occasional benzo, but I don't think I'll be shoveling weird pills into my maw again. I know that this is yet another of those epochal "I don't need drugs anymore" statements, but this time it just might turn out to be for real. Anyways, I did a lot of stupid poo poo while hopped up on Flea Market Baba's drugs. The radio incident is probably the one that takes the cake. I bought an old transistor radio at the flea market. It worked just fine, but it was unacceptably filthy and had an unpleasant smell. Now, most people don't know that you can actually wash your electronics with soap and water - not the glassy modern electronics like smartphones of course, but old low-tech stuff like transistor radios. The only gotcha is that you've got to make sure that your machine is dry like gunpowder before you plug it in again. So I filled the tub and bathed my radio with dish soap. The result was a delightfully clean, but wet radio which had to be thoroughly dried. Doing this is easy in the summer, you just leave it where the sun can see it for a few days and you're golden, but it's a bit more complex in these dark winter days. The problem area is the mains transformer which contains paper - heavens forbid that you plug the radio in while the coils are damp. There is a solution however. An electric kitchen oven. I put my radio in the oven and set the thermostat to the low temperature to have it simmering slowly until all the water from the coils have evaporated. The problem began when I set the oven to dry the radio, I also launched into an another drug bender and completely forgot about the radio in the oven - ended up baking it for three days straight and the fucker melted into a very amusing pattern. Did you know that baked radios smell like phenollic? Funny thing, I plugged the melted radio in and the fucker is still working, I was really curious about this and I honestly expected fireworks, but then again, I'm legally insane so it's OK.
