You actually saw someone drinking milk at a bar before?

I once ordered a white russian and they didn't have milk so I walked down the street and came back with a gallon and half the bar subsequently ordered white russians. The manager saw it and got pissed about outside food and drink and made me throw the rest of the milk out though.

Outside cat chat:

My parents live in the country outside a small town and a lot of people will drive unwanted pets out there and drop them off so there is always a stray cat or dog coming around. Not long after my sister and I went to college my mom started leaving food out for the cats. A few of them stuck around and started breeding and before long there were like 20-30. My dad hates them and he and my mom have reached an uneasy truce on the subject. Every time the population of cats gets up to about 20-30 and my mom goes out of town for a trip my dad gets out his gun and shoots as many as he can until my mom gets back home. Inevitably he doesn't get them all and the few that are left start breeding again. You'd be surprised how fast 3-4 cats can turn into 30. Every time I go back home I don't know if I am going to see 3-4 super skittish cats or 30 cats sitting around a food bowl waiting to be fed. They don't speak about this to each other, my mom pretends they just left or "coyotes got them" even though she absolutely knows what is going on. It is kind of cute in a crazy country redneck way.

Odd posted:

how is your dad and his gun "nature"

I am cat killer parents OP not the guy you are replying to.

I am not going to try to defend his actions. As people have pointed out the hosed up part is feeding them then shooting them. On the other hand, he has lived out in the country in remote Texas his whole life and just has a different worldview (not saying it is a correct or good worldview). The cats are not friendly and are wild so in his eyes it is no different then shooting something like a coyote. The other option is they either starve or die a painful death by coyote/fox, or they go to the only shelter within 60 miles that also is a kill shelter.

Like I said, not saying it is right but as others have pointed out people who grow up on a farm in the middle of nowhere have a different view on the killing of "wild" animals. Yeah my mom feeds them, but my dad doesn't see that as his fault because he doesn't want her to. It's a hosed up situation, I agree, but also I just don't really care that much?

Edit: As for sociopath/psychopath chat. My dad was a great father and is a great person when it comes to most things, but he also grew up in a shack with dirt floors and no glass in the windows with a dad who was an alcoholic and beat/molested him constantly. Then when he turned 18 and finally got free he immediately got drafted and sent to Vietnam where a bunch of really hosed poo poo happened so yeah he absolutely has some sociopathic things about him. Again, not an excuse just giving you guys some context that there is a lot more behind his disagreeable poo poo.

Depressed brother goon. I know you said he has tried everything, but has he tried Deplin? It 100% completely cured my depression and it's relatively new and not a lot of docs know about it from what I have seen.

It is prescription but the FDA classifies it as a medical food because your body already makes it. My psych explained it to me like this:

You eat food and your body takes chemical x in the food and turns it into chemical y. Then your brain takes chemical y and turns it into neurotransmitters. It turns out a lot of depressed people have a deficiency in turning chemical x into chemical y so they never have enough precursors for their neurotransmitters. Deplin is just straight chemical y.

Basically, if the typical medications aren't helping your depression you probably have this deficiency because most depression meds work on the neurotransmitters themselves and it can't fix you if you don't have enough in the first place. Deplin is l-methylfoliate which is an active form of foliate. It's not the same as just taking foliate supplements because that's chemical x and you still won't make enough y.

If he does get on it then it is important he actually take Deplin. There are some generic versions and my doc said they don't work as well. The generics aren't the exact same molecule like most generic drugs are.

Deplin usually isn't covered by insurance and the pharmacy was going to charge like $200 so I tried the generic and it didn't do much for me. I found out if you get on the Deplin site they have a pharmacy partner that will only charge you $50 if your insurance won't pay.

In 2 weeks of getting on Deplin my depression was COMPLETELY gone, something I didn't think was possible. Now that I have seen how well it works I would happily pay $500 a month for it.

I can't recommend enough that anybody with depression try it out. There aren't any side effects really since it's a medical food and not a drug. There is a blood test that can tell you if you have the deficiency but my psych told me it isn't worth it since it's a medical food you should just try it and not have to pay for the test.

Maybe doctors should have stopped their profession from being transformed into a for-profit nightmare if they are upset that the general public doesn't trust them the way they should? Like it's hard to assume they have my best interest at heart when every aspect of the experience is designed to extract as much money from me as possible, when they're colluding with insurance companies to deny me coverage, and so on and so on. Health care is a huge scam and they're making a fortune off of it, they've got no motivation to actually make things better for the rest of us.

The doctors don't have nearly as much control over this as you think.

quote:

By far what upsets me the most is that my wife and I see a counselor, the last time I was there I brought up these issues and provided proof, and the only thing my counselor did was look at my wife and say "what are your plans for moving out? You can leave whenever you want to" several times

I think your lack of spine extends to you not being willing to give us the full context even in an anonymous confession. It would be an extremely incompetent counselor who would respond that way unless there is a ton of context we are missing.

Your pre-acceptance of never seeing your kids again because your wife says so is pretty pathetic. Like you make it sound like your wife would say "we are getting a divorce and I won't let you see the kids" and you just accepting that without the numerous legal and other avenues that are open to you to at least get some visitation rights really does emphasize how much of a problem you have of being a pushover. As a dad I can't imagine accepting never seeing my kids again without a fight. Hell I'd probably come up with some elaborate Hitman scheme if it came down to it.

Go see a therapist by yourself and ask for your treatment to be focused on how to stand up for yourself and get what you want. You can turn this around.

I am definitely an rear end in a top hat for this but I have never been able to have any kind of sympathy for these types of spineless people. It's just so loving pathetic it makes me angry instead of having any kind of empathy. Like I understand that very often things in this person's childhood or life that were out of their control made them this way, but if the solution to your problems is "just loving do it you pussy" and instead you just rollover and show your belly and then whine and complain about your circumstances then gently caress you got mine.

Doctor chat: some of you have a gross misunderstanding of doctors and their profession. To the goon who said 250k allows you to live in luxury lol. It's absolutely more than enough money for anybody in the world and certainly puts you in an envious position where you don't have to worry about the problems 95% of the population has to, but it's not going to allow you to live in luxury other than a few weeks a year when you're on vacation. Maybe we just have a different definition of luxury but to me it would be having personal assistants who anticipate and meet your every need with the best private chefs etc and 250k is more like a bigger than average house, nicer car, private school for the kids etc. Sure it's luxury compared to people below the poverty line but when the scale of wealth and luxury goes all the way up to Jeff Bezos 250k ain't poo poo.

I mean I don't disagree, but we are talking about a goon who thinks digging his own impacted poo poo out of his rear end is normal. I'd bet a lot of money all his liquid intake is mountain dew or some poo poo. Definitely get to a doctor, but I wouldn't be surprised at all it it's something as simple as hydration. Miralax makes your colon absorb less water and magnesium helps too.

When I was young I thought it was normal to get headaches constantly and it wasn't until I was older I realized I just wasn't hydrating well enough. Constipation was an issue then too.
