Ahh, that's my ISKRA power drill from Slovenia, then-Yugoslavia - it's over 40 years old but it still works great. My grandpa's brother was some sort of mini-boss at the factory, and he picked up this suitcase set for free because it had a factory defect - the plastic insulation on the mains cable would rot and crumble into pieces only after a few months, and the factory management was aware of this problem, that's why they gave the whole set away for peanuts (or even for free, I'm not sure.) I replaced the mains cable and ended up with a brand new power drill! Now that we're on drilling, I'm using the power drill to sand away my freakishly thick toenails; they're so thick from fungus that there are no scissors or clippers in the world that can go through that. I got the idea while watching that "dumb and dumber" movie and figured that although they were joking, that it can't be all bad so I adopted the practice to everyone's benefit. Toenail fungus is a motherfucker to get rid of, I tried all kinds of medications but even the best of them only have a temporary effect.... while punching holes in my liver, so I basically quit trying to remedy the problem as it doesn't bug me much, actually (even though my toenails look deformed and gross.)

Too bad that nobody makes hilarious manifesto pages anymore This website was in fact what brought me to SA: somebody linked my retarded website to Portal of Evil (remember it?) and I became a regular there. One of the websites they had linked on their front page was Something Awful, and that's what brought me here. So that's my story. I'll be glad to answer any questions.

You have been given a pass from Bobbie Wickham as moderator of this amazing thread for the panhandling, but I wouldn't push it much more than what you have good buddy. Sure, you are only asking for a couple bucks for a pack of smokes or a 2 litre bottle of cat piss beer, and nothing like the thousands that got that hot dog stand funded from GBS, but don't take it too far, would be a shame to see you banned all for the sake of a smoke. Is it easy to set up a P.O Box in Croatia? I'm sure if you got yourself one of them and it didn't cost a lot to maintain then you'd have a bunch of us from all over the globe willing to send you random trinkets from the modern era that would more than make up for the cost of the box itself. A P.O. Box would net you some random stuff from around the world from your 'fans' rather than straight up asking for e-cash, and you could even do some un-boxing videos so we can see your reaction to getting gifts of 1st world novelties from internet strangers!

AlbieQuirky posted:So many questions. The city council collects all the physically large and unwieldy junk for free. The procedure is as following, you fill out a form on the city council's webpage, and a few weeks later they call you and say something like "our truck will be there on Thursday 8AM." Then you take all of your junk to the street corner the night before, and the following morning the truck will come and pick everything up. Well, that's how it goes in theory. The heap of junk in the picture started out as a few old kitchen cabinets which nobody came to pick up as something obviously went wrong and well, the cabinets stayed there to this day, though they've been stewing there for at least two weeks. To add an insult to an injury, now other tenants piled up their own junk onto the already sizable heap, seizing the opportunity to get themselves rid of the junk without the hassle of setting up an appointment with the city sanitation workers. Somebody WILL eventually pick up all the junk, as well as a mountain of cinderblocks somebody tossed in the corner of one of my towers. Christ, the rednecks I'm living with.

You can treat toenail fungus with hydrogen peroxide, white vinegar, and tea tree oil, but you have to be consistent. Like, "two or three months" consistent. But, considering some antibiotics have to be taken for up to twelve weeks, this is better. Get a disposable nail file, and sand all that grossness off your toe nails, and toss that file out. Soak your feet for twenty minutes a day in a solution of hydrogen peroxide and water every other day. The days you don't use hydrogen peroxide, soak them in a mixture of vinegar and water for twenty minutes. Every day, after you dry your feet off (with a paper towel, so you can throw it out), rub a little tea tree oil into the nails and nail beds.

I've come to terms that I'll have old man toenails for the rest of my life. And when I need to clip my toenails, which I do once a year, I use a power drill with a sander - it's much faster than a file, which is also something I used in the past.

I had a toenail fungus and tried to treat it myself with over-the-counter stuff and nothing worked. My doctor gave me one pill that stopped it cold. Toenails grow slowly, though, and it's been taken several years for the toenail to return to something normal-looking.

For how long, and how consistently? It literally requires several months to treat nail fungus, like three months for just antibiotics. Topical treatments can take twice as long, but they don't gently caress up your system the way three months of antibiotics do.

I'm sending a package to America, to my buddy Caleb in Indiana. I put lots of various balkan things inside, I wonder how the guy will react to cemetery vodka and Pelinkovac.  Also, it's been four months since my seizure on the street. As luck would have it, and I mean bad luck, it just had to happen on the stairs. My bud Igor who was with me, said that I kneeled on the stairs and started shaking like crazy while holding onto the railing. I can somehow predict when I'm about to have a seizure, a few seconds before the event I already know what's gonna happen - that's why I haven't collapsed, but instead kneeled and said "give me a minute". This is the goddamn scar on my knee, it's probably going to stay there indefinitely, reminding me that too many funny pills can result in a biiiig crap.  I'm gonna be very active tommorrow, because I'll be romping around with the post office, and I'll take many pictures. C'mon, become my patron, your five poxy dollars can mean the world to me.

Gervasius posted:I had a group of Australians swear that Pelinkovac Antique is the greatest thing they have ever tasted and even tried to import the thing. You know what's actually the best thing about Pelinkovac? The name is derived from the croatian name for wormwood, which is "pelin". Russians have an oddly fitting name for wormwood, it's "Chernobyl". So this drink is in all reality a vodka distillate mixed with woodworm macerate and tons of sticky sugar, and when you realize what it is, you're also going to realize you're basically drinking "Chernobyl candy vodka".

I also need to add that Pelinkovac is also sold in large 1 Liter bottles but they're quite problematic in their essence and I never buy them anymore. Why? Since Pelinkovac is so sweet and smooth, you'll be downing shots like a hero and you won't have a problem chugging down a whole bottle in one sitting. Then you'd attempt to stand up and then you'd realize you've just downed a whole goddamn liter of vodka, have fun puking on the cat and passing out in the back yard

some questions. 1: do you have a social worker, case worker, or someone else to help you coordinate care and make sure you're getting the support you need - if yes, do you tell them the truth about how your life is going? - if yes, are they doing a lovely job because of the general state of health and social services in Croatia? - if no, when will you get a new social worker/case worker? 2: how long has your most recent "I'm going to take my drugs AS PRESCRIBED and NOT ABUSE THEM" era lasted? - how long have previous terms lasted? - are the terms getting longer, shorter, or staying the same? I've read this thread for a long time and in some aspects you're in a better place than you were, but still whenever the thread goes quiet for more than a couple of days I wonder if it's because you've OD'd or died. and that's not normal!!!
