Ok no comic book chat for Rhyno's sake.

But food chat...yes. Yesterday was one of those days where I never got full.
Breakfast: 4 eggs, 8 bacon, two bagels with nutella, 2 cups of fruit, cup of cottage cheese, coffee, orange juice.
At work: 4 bagels with nutella
Lunch: 2 servings of currywurst, fries and pop.
Dinner: 12oz steak, baked potato, garlic bread, 1.5L beer, apple strudel and a coffee.
2nd/3rd/ dinner: chicken stir fry from takeout place, two slices of pizza from pizza stand

Then I went to bed hungry. Wish my appetite was always that good, usually I have to force feed myself to eat enough.

2 gallons of water a day, I get dehydrated easy. No glucometer, no multivitamin. My gut is completely f'ed up so between poor absorption and wildly varying hunger this is pretty normal.

You ate four whole bagels, each of which had nutella smeared on it, as a snack between a huge breakfast and a huge lunch? What the gently caress. Maybe you have the world's largest tapeworm or something, no human should be able to eat that much food in a day.

Do de do, just walking back from the bathroom to the kitchen after we'd closed.

Wait... how the gently caress did I wind up face down on the floor, why does everything hurt, and why the gently caress am I wet?! :saddowns:

Our dining room tiles get slick as poo poo once they're mopped. No wet floor sign, though I should have expected them to be wet. Don't even remember the fall, just remember my foot going out from under me and suddenly being in a world of pain (left a decent dent in the wall from my head, that might explain the memory issue).

Carnage: peeled the skin back pretty good on the webbing between my right thumb and index finger. Cut my left elbow. Skinned both knees, cut my right calf. Lots of bruises. Nothing terrible, though my thumb won't stop oozing despite antibiotic ointment and bandaging. I think I'm gonna wrap it in gauze with a dab of neosporin for the night

gently caress "Treadsafe" shoes forever. :fuckoff: I'm gonna be sore as poo poo for a couple of days, but the only thing I'm really worried about is my thumb. Stupid thing is still bleeding nearly 4 hours later. Won't have much range in my left elbow for a bit.

Another of the many things that's broken about me: I love the taste of (most) energy drinks but don't need the actual energy boost. Not the super-sweet grape/orange/coffee flavors but the standard battery acid monsters and red bulls. And I hate soda. I don't know what the gently caress.

This pretty much nails it. They were delicious, but i tend to regulate caffeine, so they were special treats.

As for kidneys of steel, well, they seem to do the job.

No, but I think that's where I got the inspiration.

I used Jamie Oliver's recipe. It needs more salt than you would think, both the egg and the breadcrumbs need to be offset by the salt in the meat.

The really awesome bit is if you only boil the eggs for 3 minutes or so, and you get the runny yolk in the middle of your scotch egg. So good.

My girlfriend is in a similar situation. I'd probably keep my eye out for a replacement for now but put what you can to keep her Forester running. I'd be wary of putting too many parts into it because eventually it's going to cost as much as a replacement.

My wife is just about 38 weeks pregnant with our little pit chief. She told me last week that he was probably going to show up this week. It would be cool if she had him tonight because 4 day weekend. I think it will happen this weekend or early next week. She can basically will a child out of her womb though, in convinced she did it with our daughter. She was finally fed up being pregnant and said 'I'm so done' two days later we have a baby girl.

Isn't it great feeling responsible for a girlfriends car? Once you check the oil, that's it, you're the caretaker of that car whether you like it or not. I had a GF that I found a nice used Prelude for, all she had to do was keep oil in it and she couldn't even accomplish that. Car died of oil starvation, and I felt like it was my fault for not being there to save it :smith:

Surely you can find a nice Corolla driving partner? Changing oil once in a while is worth it if you find the right girl/guy.

I could give a shit about all that.
Last ex girlfriend managed to kill a Volvo 240. Ran the thing completely out of oil and continued driving it for 10+ miles down the interstate and then down the road to her destination before pulling over. I told her to go get an oil change 2 weeks before, noting that it was a little low and she should get it done that weekend if possible.


(I put a jug of oil in it for shits and giggles, and heard the worst case of rod knock I've ever heard in my life.)

I accidentally put a hole in one of my cats at the car wash yesterday. :thumbsup:

Found a place on google called "Muffler Man" and has good reviews so I chance it. Pull into the parking lot and before I can get out an employee walks over and asks whats up. Has me drive it directly on the lift, they see the hole and offer to weld it up for $40. 15 minutes later Im outta there. It was such an enjoyable experience I kind of wish I had more exhaust problems.

I just passed the 10 year anniversary of my divorce. My ex wife still calls me first when her car has a problem. I'm proud to say that for the last 4 years I've done nothing but give her an opinion on what it might be and tell her to take it to a shop.

Yes, for 6 years I worked on the car of a woman who left me. And gave her a free loaner to use while I worked on it. It was like automotive Stockholm syndrome.

both driveshafts
all shocks
every brake line and hose

hatch struts
engine, all seals
transmission
rebuilt transfer case
front ujoints
balljoints
wheel bearings
both steering knuckles
all tie rod ends

radio, again
rockers
door catch straps and hinge rebuilds on both front doors
hatch latch handle
