@Auspice Well if there's room for a third let me know. If not that's cool too.

Of course! Dunno when it'll happen, but I'll reach out.

@Admiral said in Gas Money:

@PuppyBreath I've got an open offer for a hot meal if you want to check out any of the local restaurants. Maybe @Auspice could come along as well. And anyone else in Austin. (Though the more people who go the cheaper the meal will have to be. :3)

I am always a fan of free food. >.>
(I've already told @PuppyBreath I will be dragging her to Pluckers at some point. :D)

I injured my foot at the beginning of May. It is now July. And while I can put weight on it again just fine, it still hurts. Tonight, it hurts badly enough that I cannot sleep.

This is irritating me.

This is also why I'm posting at 3:30am.

This is my life. When I was younger, I was very, very active. Runner, martial artist. Anything I could do. Was out running one day and got this sharp pain in my foot. Went to the doc. Doc says tendinitis. Foot still hurt a month later. Doc says tendinitis. Kept hurting, but less, until I finally just got used to the pain.

In my twenties someone finally did an x-ray and turns out, I had damaged my cuboid, and it had gone untreated for so long it deformed.

Fun times!

I am so sorry. misdiagnosed shit sucks. When I was 17, I fell and hurt my shoulder. Dislocation they said. Over the next few years it got so bad I could be driving and have to pull over until a wave of pain passed. I had limited motion, couldn't carry more than 5lb, etc. First doctor I saw said 'I don't give anything for chronic pain and btw it was probably an AC joint separation, not a dislocation' and sent me to physical therapy..... Which I did but they said sorry, PT won't fix this but we'll try.

Next doctor did the same deal. 'Do PT!' PT said after a few weeks no, this isn't gonna help. Doctor went sorry, can't do anything else for ya.

Moved to SC because I couldn't handle work anymore. Saw new doc there. He decided exploratory surgery was the only option because while he couldn't see what was wrong, he acknowledged something was.

Turned out the original injury healed bad and my shoulder socket was full of bone spurs, but due to the way the shoulder is....they couldn't be seen on MRI.

I love that man..if you're in the Greenville SC area and need an ortho surgeon, I will gladly find his name again. He acknowledged something was wrong and was willing to do what was needed to see it fixed.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I made it safely to Austin! Some car trouble held me up, then my check engine light came back on on the way. I can't wait to replace that car! But I'm here!

Thank you to everyone who helped me get here! I'm super excited for a fresh start.

yay!

It's all on Nertflerx. It's pretty good anime. Thousands of people stuck in an online VR game where death in-game means death for real...and they can't disconnect.

Sooooo.... Reskinned .hack?

I read the link.

I still don't get it.

I'm going to cry once there's the invariable 'You've seen his stream! Now read the hit book 'Pewdiepie plays Fortnite!'

I unabashedly love the new Spider-Man.

I'm not sure I could even detail everything I loved. I need to see it a second time (she says while waiting for the after credits scene).

@Sparks said in Gray Harbor Discussion:

if one person's standing in front of the statue and looking at the face/chest, they're going to have a different perception of the statue than the person standing behind it (and who can't see the face) does.

here for dat statue ass

This is why, midsummer, I do the mirror of people in the great white wastes and turn on my car with the AC early. I'm on the side of my complex that gets full sun all day so it's not uncommon for my car to read 115' when I get in and we're not even full heat yet.

Let's bring it back....

@Admiral said in RL Sads:

@Auspice Congrats on moving on to better things, at least?

This is true. And I'm excited for the new job.
But these have been, hands down, some of the best people I've ever worked with.

So it's bittersweet

Sometimes something just bums you out, but it's not a peeve or anger or anything. Like I feel weird posting 'this thing kinda sucks!' in the disgruntlement thread.

My thing today: both my favorite people at work took today off. We said our goodbyes already but I'm still bummed out that I couldn't see them on my last day.

brb adding more cilantro to my guac so I don't have to share.
