I've never really done New Years. I probably would this year, if DC had anything remotely like NYC in the form of a centralized event. I'm not going bar crawling, or paying through the nose for a meal that they rush me through.

You stand around bored out of your loving mind except when they send the skycam by and then you act like you're having fun. It's probably worse now. Yeah, everyone I've talked to that's done it said it was a miserable experience. I still want to do it once though.

My back/groin injury this week has reminded me that I'm totally not in my 20s anymore. When I went to urgent care on Friday to get some serious anti-inflammatories and a muscle relaxer they offered me vicodin. Being a white male owns. (I didn't take the script)

TBeats posted:I've drastically changed almost everything about my lifestyle to try and be healthier. I used to be able to shovel down an entire pizza from dominos and be fine but I ate four slices about a month ago and about an hour later I noticed my fingers were all swollen. Turns out that I'm a stress eater, who knew? The instant I got the source of 99% of my stress out of my life, I stopped eating garbage. I'm on a self improvement spree right now. I'm getting a rowing machine either this month or the next.

I quit soda *mostly*. I still have a 20oz coke once or twice a week with my lunch. I switched to Spindrift and LaCroix instead. Much better for you since it's just water with a little bit of flavor. That WaterRower is cheaper than I thought, I might get it sooner rather than later. First on my list is a new bed, probably gonna get the Casper like I wanted to like four or five months ago. And maybe a new couch.

Godholio posted:I've given up trying to cold turkey my way out of soda. Aside from the crippling caffeine and sugar addiction, I just like it with certain foods. The new rule starting this week is 3 per week (a couple of months ago it was 2-3 per day most of the time). After a month of that, down to 2 per week. The real trick is going to be finding more stuff to cook that isn't going to induce cravings, and that I can make in small enough portions that I'm not eating it for more than 3 days in a row and getting thoroughly sick of it. Yeah, basically if I get a sandwich and chips, I have to get soda. It's a rule. Like water, or dinosaurs.

I'm lucky enough that I somehow never managed to pick up dip/smoking while in the Army. Thank gently caress. I don't drink alone, and I don't drink to excess. I bought a few sixpacks when I broke up with my ex and was like WAIT A MINUTE so I stopped.

I drink Spindrift Raspberry mostly now. Whole can has 2g of sugar. Downside is that it only comes in 4 packs and that flavor sells out like crazy at my Trader Joes. I like most LaCroix stuff though. At work I have 3 20oz bottles of Coke a week, for the days when I get soup and chips. I'm getting a rowing machine in like two weeks. Genuinely excited about that.

I have soup every day for lunch now, at least until the cafe near work stops doing that when winter ends. It's pretty good because it's some artsy fartsy place and I get the low sodium options most of the time. I also switched to drinking Yerba mate tea instead of an early morning coffee.

Mike-o posted:I know we all like to poo poo on the military because honestly it sucked and was retarded.....but the poo poo deployments I had, the guys I deployed with were the best people I've ever met and I miss them more than I can even describe. Combat makes you close, and losing friends just makes it grow even more. I got to see three of my close friends last summer for one buddy's wedding. I can't even describe to you how loving happy I was to see them again. I feel that way about practically my entire company that I deployed with. With the exception of my old platoon sergeant. He no joke deserves to loving die. He should have loving died. But....that's what I miss, the guys that I'm closer to than anyone else. I kind of miss some parts of the military in general, but I know my time has passed and there's too much bullshit to outweigh the few good things. It's the memories and the people that I miss, not the army. It's a big part of my depression , anxiety, anger and PTSD. All I want to do is hang out with my war buddies and drink some beer and shoot some guns and bullshit together and tell war stories and then when we're pretty hammered and open up we can let out all that pain and sadness to each other, because we trust each other more than anyone. That poo poo builds up inside, and I don't feel like anyone but them really understands what it feels like. It sounds really loving hokey but time makes it better. I was a complete loving wreck of a person emotionally for two+ years after I got out, and didn't really "recover" to the point of being a mostly functional person until the last few years. I'm glad that I worked with vets at the school for four and a half years, because essentially that was my emotional decompression chamber that kinda equalized things over time.

Maybe I'm weird, but I don't like having roommates. I can thank the Army for deciding that one for me. And for the last year and a half of my relationship with my ex. Like I totally get why people get them for a number of reasons, but if I'm ever in that situation again I would choose to eat less food or something to have my own place.

Son of a bitch, I broke another part of my busted rear end wisdom tooth. It doesn't hurt, but it's sharp. Gonna have to go to the dentist on Friday I think, this is like the 15th time a small piece of it has broken off in the last few years. Why yes, I did live most of my life without dental insurance, why do you ask?

Pesticide20 posted:Why didn't you get them taken out in the army? Because I was told they wouldn't be a problem for years when I was in 43AG, I never saw the dentist in Korea, I deployed and got hand waved through without an exam because I was torch party, I came back and pulled my name from the lists because I was in operations and didn't want to go to a guy nicknamed "the butcher" who would routinely use the absolute minimum anesthesia to "save the government money". I had one of them pulled in 2012 when I split it open, and it cost like 700 bucks because I had no insurance (and had 200 bucks left to my name after the fact ho ho ho) and I never bothered to get the second one taken care of. I have really good dental insurance now, I just need to take the time off work and get it done with.
