I've trained many horses in my life, been riding for most of it.
Horses look to the rider as a partner they can trust... that or you can break their spirit too, at least some can be broken... but you ALWAYS get more from the horse who trusts you and WANTS to do what you ask because he trusts he won't be harmed, and it's safe to do, and that he want's to make his buddy on his back happy too. Some horses genuinely like the attention, and will get it either by doing good or bad things, just like kids. If you give them the attention when they do positive, you're all good, but if you let that sort of animal get attention in the bad way... you're in for a hell of a pain in the ass.
I loved having that level of trust, and connection that you literally cannot get from doing anything else. Some say you "have to be the boss", but that's not true. You're equals, and you being a tiny, puny human, who can literally be killed in so many fucked ways while dealing with 900lb-2,2000lb animals (I had a clydesdale stallion that did weigh in at 2,200lbs., but large ponies weigh in at 900lbs, but your average quarter horse weighs 1,200lbs.) you HAVE to put some trust into your steed, and if you can't, you have no place on their back. They trust you to make the choice, because you shouldn't give them any reason not to believe you're making the right choice, which will keep them safe (and sometimes will be fun- horses like a lot of the cool shit you can train them to do as much as we enjoy doing it on their back or while driving them), so don't ever give them a reason NOT to trust you. You should NEVER train a horse with any method that inflicts pain, and FYI whips (lounge whips, and riding crops) should NEVER touch a horse any harder than a light tap with a riding crop, which should be used to give cues, and signals to the horse, or a lounge whip which is used as a training aid, both to get them to do directional walk/trot/canter in a circle around you, and as a tool for the "Friendly game" where you let it touch them all over to show them it won't hurt them. No tool should EVER be used to cause pain, as it will backfire on you every time.
I trusted my clydesdale with my life. I miss him so much to this very day.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-12-26 at 11:32 AM UTC in When I was a young child I though going to the rainforest would be SO COOLOkay fuck it, I'm not going to try and fix the img shit. They're just google image results. ither click the icon, or google image search tree frogs and amazon river dolphins. You'll see a shitton of images.
There's also a lot of tree dwelling primates, but I can imagine they could be assholes, so they don't interest me so much. The rainfroest is just full of all sorts of cool animals and
OH!!! Fucking plants. Dude, there are a fuck ton of cool plants there too. Like... Corpse Flower, which smells like... corpses! That is fucking cool. https://goo.gl/images/TSF98J
The rainforest is cool as fuck, yo. IF you're such a pussy to let insects, and the heat scare you off from seeing some amazing shit, then well... you're a pussy bitch fuck boi.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-12-25 at 9:04 AM UTC in The Retarded Thread: Sploo Needs AttentionI'm really happy. I went outside to smoke, and well, I saw this homeless man there who asked to buy a cigarette from me. I'm not going to take someone who's down on their luck like that's money. I went back upstairs, got about 3 yogurts, 2 brownies, a box of cheese crackers, and made some cigarettes (menthol since he said he preferred menthol when I asked), and since he was shivering, and I know had been out there a while, I grabbed a couple blankets.
You'd have thought I gave him the million dollar winning lottery ticket or something. He asked me "did I die and go to heaven when I dozed off just before you came back up to me?" and he asked me why I was doing this coming up to random homeless person, after most recently a woman who was trying to give a homeless man 10$ got stabbed by him and died nearby, not but a few blocks. Well, everyone here knows I don't have a high value on my continued existence, but still... even if I did, my dad taught me to not be scared to do the right thing. I could wake up, walk outside, and boom, get struck by lightening, get in a car accident on my way to work, or have a stroke and keel over dead... there's all sorts of fucked shit that can happen to me on a day to day basis, but it shouldn't stop you from doing what's right by others. I guess there's a risk of something bad happening, but... I just hope if someone I love is in the position that man, Adam, is in, that someone would do for him the way I did for Adam, hopefully better, and I would have too if I wasn't broke as a joke, but I gave what I could give at least.
The nurses on my floor thought what I did was sweet lol, and so did the lady at the security desk. I really don't want anything for christmas, It makes me so much happier to make someone else's day, or at least make their day better than it was. Just happy I was able to do what I did.
If any of you are in the position to do so, I encourage you to help your fellow man/woman who's out there on the street tonight, who for whatever reason doesn't have a roof over their head, or food in their belly, or hell, even smoke in their lungs if they're a smoker. I encourage you all to do what you can, with what you got, to make their day a little less shitty. Even if it's just a smoke or two. Even if it's just a can of beans, or some leftovers. Even if it's an old ratty blanket, I'm sure someone cold, hungry, and down on their luck will appreciate it. Maybe you have an extra jacket you don't wear anymore, or a pair of socks, or an old pair of gloves. Hell, if you got a couple bucks to spare for them even that'd be cool too, hell, even a little change.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

This last pic is of the building I'm in. I'm the 8th room from the right.
The jesus statue is cool as fuck. It's humongous in size, and solid marble. The building itself is pretty cool too. It's been here since 1889. The second patient ever admitted here was african american, which back in 1889, not many hospitals would admit a black person back then. This place has really made huge leaps and bounds in research medicine. They're the best hospital in the country, and dare I say at least one of the best world wide. People come from all over the world to get treatment here, shit, even Saudi princes come here for treatment, and they have enough money to go anywhere they want to go.
Some more cool pics of the historical part of the hospital. Oh, and I forgot to mention, I did go into one wing of the hospital and there is a shit load of art there, it's every bit as packed with art as an art gallery. Most of it was donated from art collections of private collectors. Pretty cool actually. I mean, for a hospital stay, it could be worse. I can go smoke whenever I like, I have what is essentially a museum, with a historical building I can romp around day or night, and there's a big ass art gallery on the other end I can go walk around in anytime I feel like it.
When I rest up a bit, I'll trek out and get some pics from the outside of the historical building too, if I feel up to it later.

I'm not shoving my phone over anything. My phone got stolen+. The picture I took last night, and the one of the sunrise this morning I took from my webcam on my laptop (hence the poor quality) right from the window in my hospital room. I'm on the 8th floor, and I have a spectacular view, and gorgeous sunrises and sunsets everyday. Those both I just quickly snapped a pic from my bed with my laptop turned on my lap. I don't even have to move from bed to get that view.
Hey, and you did catch a beautiful view from where you're at. Right now, as it is with my knee, I can't really walk all that far without taking a break. What's with the "drinking water the whole time" comment? That's all I drink pretty much. A week ago I had an orange juice, other than that, I do water, sometimes a cup of hot camomile tea at night, and I use stevia as a sweetener. Is it some achievement to be drinking water or something? Most people drink water. lol maybe you mentioned it because if you're in some 3rd world shithole you'll be shitting your brains out on the hike back down, I suppose. China? From what I hear, they don't have very good water either.
Originally posted by WE SMOOTH $500,000 in medical debt for psychosomatic pain
Sure, this is psychosomatic, right? My knee is full of scar tissue, I currently have blood clots in both legs, which while aren't the worst of it, definitely have some degree of pain involved, and I have an infection that literally goes from the knee of my femur, nearly all the way up infecting 3/4th of the entire bone. I have two herniated discs in my back, which you can feel if you run your fingers along my spin, and which I have several MRIs/CTs which shows that. I'm admitted for the osteomyelitis, and DVTs. While I'm here because I'm suffering in pain, and part of my treatment is managing my pain, the reason they've kept me as long as they have is because of the infection, and clots. They don't just keep people because someone wants to be kept, nor do they just write narcotics to people just because they ask for it, and say they're in pain. This hospital literally is full to capacity. It took me 36 hours in the ER to get placed in a room here. The last time I was here I spent over 48 hours before they got me a room. If I didn't have legitimate pain, I wouldn't be getting shit, and if I didn't have a legitimate condition which needs to be treated immediately, in an inpatient setting, I wouldn't be here in this room right now, or would I ever have been admitted in the first place.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Check this beautiful sunrise out over the skyline, and the dome at Hopkins. I went down to the dome yesterday and fell asleep for 2 hours in a wingback chair lol. Best sleep I've got since I've been here. I went and checked out the giant marble jesus statue, and wandered around the historic part of the hospital. I even went out front and they have a sundial, and it's really grand looking at it from the front historic entrance. I couldn't ask for a better view being on the 8th floor here. It's cool too that this is one of the only hospitals that aren't cunts about patients leaving the floor and going out to smoke. That's how I've made buddies with the security dudes at the desk entrance I use to wander out to smoke. We are on a first name basis with the security, and ladies at the front desk. I honestly do prefer this hospital over others.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-12-24 at 12:53 AM UTC in Who you think you'd get on with best irl out of hydro and §m£ÂgØL?
Originally posted by Lanny Yeah, §m£ÂgØL's cool and I don't have a problem with him or anything but the, uhhh, way he conducts himself would start bugging me pretty quick. As someone who's a know-it-all dickbag, other people doing the same thing is… difficult to be around.
I think I'd get along fine with hydro as long as she didn't try to give me a back alley medical operation for some reason.
Just because I try to prepare for the worst case scenario, doesn't mean I'd preform a surgery on someone if they didn't want me to. I may make my case, and give my advice, but at the end of the day, that's your choice to make. I would want my wishes respected, so I would certainly respect the wishes of others. (an example: You experienced facial trauma that left you unable to breathe from swelling/injury, and either there was no way to get an EMT/Doctor/Hospital in time, and otherwise you would die if I didn't preform a circothyrotomy... Well, if I knew prior to this that you didn't want me to preform a life saving medical procedure on you... Well... I would respect your right to die if that's what you wanted.)
§m£ÂgØL has framed his experiences with me as though I've tried to force shit on him that he didn't want done, when that's furthest from the truth. I heard for MONTHS and MONTHS that he was scared he was diabetic, and he was often having anxiety over this potential fear, and family history... so of course I offered to check his blood sugar with the blood glucose tester I had, which I of course would have used never used sticks, and test strips with. I mean... this is the first line, and easiest way to see if someone is diabetic before going to a doctor to get a referral for blood work... which he also didn't want to do either... so of course after the thousandth time of him bitching about his concern that he was diabetic I said "For fucks sake, stop being a pussy either you stick, or let me stick your finger, use the tester, and fucking see what your blood sugar is before eating, an hour after eating, and then 4 hours after eating so we can get an idea with what your sugar is, and how if fluctuates/how your pancreas does with releasing insulin, and how much sugar you got floating around at given times... doing this multiple times will give us a frame of reference, and be able to determine if you should worry about being diabetic or not..." and then he would bitch and cry and say "No", but then go on crying and bitching that he was scared he was diabetic because a large portion of his family is diabetic. Even telling him to go to the doctor if he didn't want to check it out for himself, he would bitch and say "No". This is where he's gone on about "she'll try and poke and stick you" shit. At another time, when I was taking a B-complex IM shot to help me feel better, and have more energy, I OFFERED him a shot too, since he complained about feeling tired all the time (one of his concerns about being diabetic.. lo, and behold, he was just lazy) and he acted like I was threatening him all because I was holding MY shot when I offered him a shot. I never pushed the issue, I just explained how it might help him, and that there was no real risk in taking an IM shot of a B-complex.
Originally posted by WE SMOOTH Hydro would be tryin to get my nuts. Gawlum would be coohler.
uh, no, no I would not. I'm a lot less sexual of a person than I guess I've come across on the forum. I suppose it's because of 3 relationships that I've been in with other forum regulars. I got into those relationships not for sex, rather for the closeness to that person that we were at the time. Of course we had sex, but that was second to just wanting to be near that person, at least at the time.
Hell, PoC, we barely had sex once due to the fact his dick was so small he couldn't get it in me, and that's the God's honest truth, and I suppose that attempt was him "losing his virginity" lol. God... for the things I do feel bad for, it's for taking the virginity of two faggots on here. All it did was make make them even more faggots who blame all their problems on me rather than man up and take responsibility. Does everyone do this, where they blame everything on the first pussy the stick/try to stick it in? It seems that way.
Originally posted by GGG Literally the most degenerate users here are the ones who wanna hang with hydro lol.
There's a reason she doesn't have long term friends. You can usually tell how shitty a person is by their ability to keep friends. I have so many friends i cant count and many of them are long term friends.
I have a few long term friends, friends I've had for 15+ years. The reason I don't have a lot of friends has nothing to do with me making them. I have a lot of people I meet, and easily befriend. I've met people I've known now for years just by striking up conversation in a store, and hell, I've literally made 5 friends in the month+ I've been in the hospital. The guys who work security down at the main lobby desk LOVE me, and I bullshit and smoke all the time with them.
Ironically enough, I tend to go through very antisocial phases, and that's when I start avoiding people, not answering calls, having anxiety about just opening, and reading emails/mail they send me, or checking voicemail, which is why I don't even set VM up anymore. I'm pretty antisocial in general, it's just sometimes I get REALLY bad with it where I just can't deal with most people. The people who stick as friends are the people who are persistent, and patient with me.
§m£ÂgØL forgets that there was several occasions where I pretty much told him to fuck off and go live his life, and he forgets that he literally threatened me if I didn't stay talking to him He threatened to call DFC if I wouldn't stay his 'friend', because apparently just updating him on the status of the baby wasn't good enough, and this was before my son was even born, before I left my ex of 11 years, before there was anything between us. THat was his chance to just move the fuck along and not have to worry about nothing... but at the time that's not what he wanted.
I've pushed a lot of people away from me in the past. Sometimes it's just the avoiding shit, and like with §m£ÂgØL, and even 1337 back in the beginning of our relationship/just before we got together, I would just avoid, and then just tell them to fuck off if they got persistent, and eventually I'd come around after a while. When I don't keep friends, it's because I don't want to keep friends. I'm pretty happy alone/having just a select few people around me.
Oh, and on §m£ÂgØL bragging about his minor blips of success: I think he fails to tell everyone about his ability to keep employment since he pretty much quits work when he's bored of it, or his family is going on vacation. Another thing that is irritating is his quitting without notice shit. Yes, I was a stupid dumb teenager once and I quite a couple jobs suddenly, but I later realized that it just looks bad to not at least give a week notice. It's also just lazy too. One day that shit will come back to haunt him, I'm pretty sure of that. I don't even think he's worked at the same place for more than a couple months at a time. By the time I was his age, I'd at least had a few years work experience at a couple places by then. Hell, there even was a time I was doing well and successful like he's doing now. I worked my ass off, and shit, I was doing work I loved at the time too. Fuck, there was a point where I was rolling around in more money than I knew what to do with. Things can change in an instant though.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

I later followed up with the administration. Apparently, they were concerned I was homeless and they've been told to not allow the homeless, and/or those released from the ER to wait in their lobby. The security was unaware I had been admitted for 10 days.
I used to feel bad for you, but you’re just pathetically desperate. Do you actually think you could help others with this stuff? Put a PICC line in someone, you must be joking. Putting an ET tube in someone? You must be joking?
Now, you’ve fucked up your life enough, DO NOT fuck up someone else’s by trying to play doctor.
I guarantee they know that stuff was stolen, and I bet they know it was you. And you wondered why they wanted you off the hospital property before????
You need tons of help, and cutting off your leg ain’t gonna do it.
Rationalize your actions all you want, that’s nothing but delusion.
As for helping others with the sit I've gotten (and I've bought quite a lot of shit myself, back in the day, when money wasn't such an issue), I have. I have saved lives. Most of those lives happened to be of the animal variety, but a life is a life at the end of the day, and for most things, it's the same, be it a person or animal. Calcium treats ketosis in people as well as cows, goats, horses, and dogs. If it's IVed, it needs to be done very, very, very slowly. I knew a veterinarian who should have known better who ended up killing my friend's cow who had ketosis by quickly IVing calcium. The cow was dead in less than 5 minutes, and resulted in her convulsing right before the end. He also botched a C-section, which frankly, wasn't even worth the time to attempt with the IVed calcium, and the amount of time it took them to even start, much less pull the calf. I'm sure it was worth it to that idiot though with the hefty bill he charged her though.
I've placed a feeding tube (nasogastic tube) down a couple baby goats and calves before, which I never missed, and I had a pretty good success rate of bring the one's I did do that to around. You've got to understand here, that when I began, I didn't have any experience, and just that of my father whom was well versed in veterinary medicine to help me, but he was just there to talk me through it, I had to do it on my own. I was in situations where if I didn't do it, I knew for sure those animals were going to die. At least by doing what I did, I gave them a small glimmer of hope of making it. I've certainly had a high rate of death, but considering when I've gotten the calls, they were already in 'snowball's chance in hell' territory to begin with, and when you're dealing with animals who live outside (and can't really be brought indoors, besides a barn which is just as dirty as outside, with dust and debris floating around), you're not going to see the same success rates you otherwise would see in say a person, who is in a 99% clean and sanitary environment, with the ability to keep the temperature a comfortable 72 degrees no matter what time of year it is. Also, when you're dealing with animals, particularly livestock, it's not like a person who says "hey, I feel terrible, and my throat hurts" days before they develop a cough, so by the time you realize the animal is sick, they usually are a lot sicker than when the treatment for a human would begin, in most cases, anyway.
When shit is serious, I do recommend people go to the ER, or at least their doctor. I've treated people with sutures, who needed it, because first, they weren't going to go anyway, and they didn't have insurance and want that huge bill. I've drained abscesses before too for similar reasons. Unless it was in a life or death situation, where there wasn't time to get them to an ER/EMTs to get to them or no medical help was available, I wouldn't be doing a circothyrotomy, or doing any crazy shit, but I tell you what, I want to prepare for the worst and hope for the best, and often times with animals, it's the case where I treat them or they don't get treated, so I do what I have to do.
I can at least say this when it's come to my animal patients: I've acted when no one else has, or would have, and even if they didn't make it, I gave them a chance they otherwise didn't have, and I went down fighting with them, I gave it my all.
Hell, I saved a 5lb little dog who's back hips got smashed in by her own owners who ran her over. She's alive and well right now and can stand on her hind legs and dance around right now because I gave it the ol' college try, and pulled her through when no one else would have. She also got doped up on percocets my father had just bought because he was going through WDs from his doctor being shut down, and he gave them to this little dog who wasn't even ours, because she was truly suffering in pain.
Everyone, doctors, nurses, plebotomists, IV therapy... they all start somewhere. They all study, they all have their first patient, their first *insert procedure/surgery here*, they all have to begin at the beginning. Now, I have done a lot in my life, but I know I have more to learn, and more experience to gain, more hands on practice to put under my belt, but I'm far from a novice. I didn't go the usual route in learning what I know, but knowledge is all the same, despite where it comes from. Of course, I know there is a lot left to learn, but that's why I continue reading, I continue to pick people's brains who have more knowledge and experience than myself, and that's why I continue the pursuit of gathering such knowledge and experience. I have a passion for medicine, and always have, and I've spent a long time gathering as much knowledge, and experience as I can. Hell, I've been known to teach a doctor a thing or two, an attending at that, even at a hospital as prestigious as Hopkins, and I've also learned a lot from those I've been around too. It goes both ways, and it's called 'practicing' medicine, because one is never done learning.
Originally posted by Technologist I never said I was a doctor. I work around that shit all the time. I’ve helped them guide in PICC lines with xray. I’ve also taken xrays for ET tube placement, and even the docs have placed them wrong. I would NEVER attempt that shit and I have far more knowledge than hydro. I accept my place in healthcare.
Certainly, accept your limitations, and hell, if I worked in healthcare, I wouldn't be doing shit to others outside my job title for fear of losing my job, or worse, getting a malpractice/practicing without a license (which sure I could get the latter, but the people I've doctored up aren't going to do that anyway, and I'm not going to be doing any serious shit on someone again unless it's life or death, and there's no other option.)
Just because someone has the title of a doctor, or a veterinarian , or whatever else their title is, doesn't mean they SHOULD be practicing, or that they know what they're doing. You're very naive or an idiot if you think otherwise. Certainly, there are many, many competent folks in their field, but to think there aren't some who fall through the cracks, cheat their way through, or somehow manage to make it through medical school/nursing school, that's just wishful thinking, and not reality at all.
Originally posted by DietPiano Nahh man, hydro has read like, 118 wikipedia enteries EXACTLY and 21 pubmed abstarcts (not the actual studies). She's a lay doctor now.
Hydro, how do voltage gates work? How does the body use protein to rebuild muscle?
Ouhhh, that information doesn't directly pertain to getting high, therefor hydro has no use for it.
Dr. Hydro. She should be allowed to be a doctor. Just for psych meds tho. It doesn't matter if someone knows about physiology holistically to prescribe psych meds. Hey hydro, what dose of lithium should someone with reduced kidney function receive? Hey hydro, what do you about the reduced kidney function?
I wouldn't trust hire her to work at my donut shop. She'd cut her finger on grease and give people people 3rd hand acaradiasis.
Voltage gates work by being responsive to voltage potential which affects ions passing into a cell membrane since they usually can't get through otherwise. They regulate how much gets through by being open for short periods, by being affected by the concentration of ions, and opening and closing, or being inactive based on the changes in polarity on both sides of the cell membrane.
When you consume protein, it's broken down into amino acids that form peptides which go to te liver where the liver synthesizes proteins which are sent to the sites needed to repair muscles, and the DNA gives instruction on how the aminos are woven together to repair/build muscle.
In a nut shell. Of course there's a lot more complex shit going on with those two different things, but for the sake of time, and just to give you a rough explanation, there ya go.
Dude, I don't know why you've got so hung up about opioids just because I use them to treat chronic pain. I think maybe you have more of a problem here than I do. Just because someone uses a drug to improve their quality of life, and that drug happens to be opioids, it doesn't mean they know nothing about other biological functions. I am aware there is more to medicine than opioids, and more ways than opioids to treat pain too. Don't think I haven't tried more than opioids to reduce my pain either. I take gabapentin, and I'm on 1,200mg tid. It helps with the neuropathy pain I experience from the surgeries, and also with my anxiety. (I originally was prescribed it at 100mg for anxiety, then went up to 300mg prior to having surgery.) Hell, when pain is caused by inflammation, NSAIDs and steroids can do a great job of alleviating pain, just by reducing the pressure, and swelling inflammation can cause. They also have risks that opioids don't have too. (Like, I'm kinda scratching my head on why my doctors have me on ibprofen, naproxen, intermittent keterolac and then decide to throw celebrex in the mix when I'm on warfrin... I would say that okay, one, fine, but the risk increases of GI bleeding when you throw in celebrex by a lot on it's own not to mention with an NSAID, not one but two regular, and the other spotted... I wouldn't make that call... I wouldn't want to risk it.)
Frankly, you have it in your head as to who I am, and what I know, when in truth, you know jack shit about who I am, and especially about what I know. I've forgotten more than all the knowledge you possess in your wee bitty brain there more than likely. I don't know though. I am not going to claim to know ALL about you just from a few posts on a forum though. What I do know is, is that you're the sort who thinks they know it all just from the first layer they see of a person, and from experience, people like that tend to stay ignorant, at least in the ways of learning about the people around them.

You'll niggas just read the posts but I've witnessed her play ER doctor/vet irl. And like any doctor, she hasn't been without loss. Although her ratio is certainly less respectable than an accredited doctor.
Well, I wasn't wrong with your diagnosis, and you sure didn't have an issue with taking the drugs I gave you. Certainly, I would have "prescribed" other things, but I did the best with what I had, you have to remember. You dealt with a shitty doctor, who did a shitty suture job, and didn't even prescribe you a days worth of pain meds, and I don't even believe gave you shit to change your dressing even (I believe with the latter, but I could be wrong... but I'm pretty sure we had to use the shit I had on hand). I was also on the money about your lovely persistent yeast infection too, and the fact that you kept reinfecting yourself by not cleaning your fucky toys properly.
My ratio may be less, but the odds against me have been worse than that of accredited doctors. For one, they have access to every pharmaceutical on the market, and in a hospital setting, price isn't an object when it comes down to saving a life. Another thing, animals have far different living situations than humans, and animals can't really tell you when they come down with a cold, or when something is wrong. You have to see it, and hope you catch it early, but sometimes you don't so youre dealing with something that's gone way past the point most human beings have been seen and admitted in the hospital.
Considering all the fucking odds against me, I've done a pretty damn good job. When fucking sodium chloride got made RX only for vet use, I didn't fucking flinch. I fucking got distilled water, and figured out the ratio of salt to add, and fucking had to SubQ it to a dog who was so dehydrated I couldn't get an IV in her. Finally did get her hydrated enough for an IV, and set her up. I couldn't tell she'd been bitten by a rattle snake until days later when the site when necrotic and opened up (a person would have said "I was bit by a fucking snake!!!" she couldn't.). She's alive today because I said FUCK THE MAN and fucking did it myself, and then said fuck your precious bagged sodium chloride, I'll fucking MAKE MY OWN. I sure wasn't going to stand by and let my dog die, I had to do something.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-12-21 at 12:33 PM UTC in The Retarded Thread: Sploo Needs AttentionWhile out smoking late last night, I got talking to this girl just a bit ago. She's a IV user, and her hand was swollen to fuck and back. She'd come here to visit her boyfriend's mother, and just came down to smoke while he was up talking to his mom. I went to my room, got some sterile saline, alcohol, gauze, bandages, and tape, and doctored her hand up. If I would have been home I would have given her some antibiotics, most likely bactrim assuming she wasn't allergic to sulfa drugs, and used some lidocaine to numb out the site, and used a scalpel to open up and drain that abscess.
I encouraged her to go to the ER, but she didn't want to go because of the long wait, and her fear of being labeled a junkie, which I kinda understand. I truly hope that shit doesn't get too bad. If it was treated properly right now, and if I had my first aid kit with me to to do that for her, she likely would be A-okay. This is why I like having a nice, well put together first aid kit, with a little bit of everything to treat all sorts of shit just like with her. She is a prime example of why I hijack so much shit when I come into hospitals, I just wish I had all my shit so I could have properly treated her, and gave her a 10 to 14 day course of bactrim.
She and her boyfriend told me that they are coming up in the morning, and she'd told me while I doctored her up that when she was her about a year ago in the ER that someone had left a bunch of IV catheter starters, and 2 unopened PICC line kits laying about, and she snagged them lol. She told me she'd bring them up to me since she figured I could use them more than she'd ever be able to (she didn't realize what they were at first), and fuck, I honestly think if I do end up staying alive much longer, I always wanted an ultrasound machine, and goddamn it... I'm gonna get one, one of these days. While it's a wee bit more complicated than setting an IV, it's not that hard to put a PICC in, and I'm sure I could master that skill. I'd need to get Sherlock too, so I can guide and confirm placement without a chest x-ray or fluroscopy(same thing, just an x-ray in real time, able to see the movement) to confirm/guide placement.
I just woke up, and got my dose of meds, had a dose before I'd saved, so now I'm feelin' pretty good, especially since I did a wee bit of dope on top. I just got back from smoking, and bullshitting with the security guard. Those guys are pretty cool compared to other places. Mercy sucked. They wouldn't even let me wait in the waiting room for my ride when I got discharged after being there 10 fucking days. I couldn't go out to smoke there either which sucked. Here, they don't care as long as I let my nurse, or just tell the person at the nurses desk that I'm leaving the floor.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-12-20 at 5:26 PM UTC in Bill Krozby's daughter's rotting young carcass would make a fine receptacle for all of our ejaculatory complaints.Zanick, I thought you were above this, even for someone like Bill Krozby, whom I honestly have disliked and had beef with in the past.
If he's a liar, it'll come out eventually, and if not, well... this, and all the bullshit from everyone else, is really in poor taste. Sure, he did make a thread about it, but did ask for it to be removed, and sure, I guess he's got it coming for posting about it at all (although we do make mistakes in grief, and being intoxicated, which I'm sure, if it's not a troll, he was experiencing both at the time), but I always saw you as being one with more taste and class than to make a thread like this, about anyone's dead child, just to cause an emotional response to that individual.
Even though I've had less than agreeable interactions with Bill Krozby in the past, I do think it's low to say shit like this when a person is grieving over the loss of a loved one. Even if not for him, his daughter deserves more respect than this. However, if it does come to be found that he was trolling, than may the ass fucking of Bill Krozby commence. I just don't think that he is, and I'd rather err on that side, than say fucked up shit if it really did happen. If you hate Bill Krozby, which again, I can't say that I don't have a distaste for his shit, especially in the past, as he's definitely been one to say some fucked up shit to and about me, that's fine, but talking shit with the leverage of someone's dead loved one is low hanging fruit to begin with, at least go for something more creative.
Even if he doesn't, his daughter deserves more respect than this.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Well, I'm sorry having some helpful information hurts your brain, I know it's a bit too much for one with such a low IQ as you.
The thing that usually causes issues with people who IV drugs is just bad and/or lazy shooting habits, not being sterile. A PICC is the ticket as long as you keep the dressing/site clean. There's no missing, which tends to be a cause of abscesses/infections. There's no multiple sticks, which also puts one at risk. If anything, a PICC will prolong my life, and IV shooting carrier. I honestly hope I'm dead by next year though. There's just some pain that all the dope and opioids in the world can't fix.

2018-12-04 at 11:58 PM UTC in So with all this opiod crisis bullshit...The "opioid crisis" is propaganda spread my the media and government.
I would say no since benzos are scheduled too, and they're particularly worried about them due to it poteniating Opiates, thus making it easier to OD. Then again, it depends on your doctor/shrink. I know in some states, they've passed state laws where they can't prescribe benzos and Opiates together, which is retarded. That should be the prescribers discretion. Benzos are much much worse than opioids, so keep that in mind. The worst opiate wd is nothing compared to benzo wds. They can actually kill you.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-12-07 at 3:32 AM UTC in People who think cigarettes are a part of themI smoke because it helps with my anxiety, it helps calm me, and frankly, I enjoy a good smoke. It probably helps slightly too with my mental illness due to the low affinity maoi in tobacco. I believe it's why many schizos smoke. I'm sure Malice would have more to add if he were here regarding that.
It's not part of my personality, hell, ideally I wouldn't smoke at all, but at least right now in my life quitting isn't an option at the moment, and considering I'd rather be dead than live another day, I don't really have an incentive to quite.
I don't think people are pieces of shit because they'd rather die than quite, but they are shallow as fuck if, like you said, they consider it part of their personality,something where they'd lose some of themselves without having said crutch. I love my smokes, and I smoke like a freight train, but I'd lose nothing of myself by quitting. I'd still be me, still same personality.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Ghost Just claim he cheated or raped you and they would kick him out.
Well... He actually did rape me... And separate from that, he had me believing for 8 years at least I had a sleep disorder where he got the benefit of fucking me in my sleep and blaming it on me... To be fair, I never did tell my family about either (the latter was discovered after my dad died and grandmother lost her shit anyway), but I doubt they'd have done anything about it, or believed me.
We had once got into an argument. I grabbed his glasses, and he decked me hard as fuck. Hit me so hard I seizured. That was the first seizure I ever experienced. I literally laid on the floor for over an hour crying for someone, anyone to call 911 so I could go to the hospital (I didn't have a phone, nor did we have a house phone at the time. They were the only ones with a phone that could make a call in the house). I'd been hurt from the fall/seizure so I finally just drug myself out to my room. They were literally feet away from me in the other room, and I'm positive they saw what happened, both of them. I was told later on that it was my fault (which hey, I'm not disputing) because I grabbed his glasses and deserved it (which, okay, maybe I did,but fuck, I was hit so hard I had a seizure, regardless of if I deserved it or caused it, I sure as fuck deserved medical attention... But apparently they didn't think so.)
I love my dad to death, and he was a good man, but this is one of the very few times he let me down and did wrong by me. I think if he'd have known more of what was going on then his reaction would have been a lot different. While I was far from perfect as a partner and even a daughter, there's shit I was just really embarrassed and ashamed of that my ex did to me that I was afraid to let be known to them. It made me look like a total fruit cake. Sure, I am a bit of a fruit cake, just not as much as they assumed at the time.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-12-04 at 3:06 AM UTC in Do you have your bed against a wall?Man, the most comfortable beds are water beds. The sloshy kind that if someone were to jump in next to you, it would cause you to be catapolted across the room. Those are the fucking best, fuck those pussy "waveless" waterbeds. As a second choice, since waterbeds are a serious pain in the ass, and not everywhere has the flooring to handle waterbeds since they're heavy as fuck all, hammocks are the second best. I particularly like them because they make be feel all cozy and comfy like I'm in a cacoon.
I've usually always had a bed against a wall except for now. It sucks.
I definitely think those opium style beds are bitchin'. If they could be a waterbeds, and have a frame like that, holy shit, that'd be fucking sleepy time heaven.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2018-12-02 at 11:43 PM UTC in I'm a weirdo magnet- seems like the strangest people always want to be my friendsWell, I was told at 3pm. Friday that they wanted to release me. When the doctor returned she pretty much said "you gotta go-now". Okay, I only live 2 1/2 hours away from this hospital, which they knew from go... Alright, it's just gonna take a while for my ride to get here.
First thing I do is try to bum a smoke from someone, anyone... First dude comes up to me, and he's like "I'm so sorry, wish I had one for you... Give me a few, I'll find a store, what do you smoke?" he walks off and comes back 30mins later with a full pack and a brand new Bic lighter. Oh my God, his name was Jack, and he was my nicotine angel, like for real.
Well, while Jack was gone, I asked another dude if he had a smoke. He literally had half a cigarette and insisted on splitting it with me. I told him to sit down next to me, he was shivering cold, so I gave him a blanket I had. He told me after he smoked the cig and blunt he had, he was going to go blow his brians out. Funny that, hmm, I almost asked if I could tag along, but I asked why he wanted to kill himself.
Apparently, his wife and 3 kids had been killed not too long ago by a drunk driver, who had also been killed by the impact. He showed me pics on his phone of his wife, whom he was married to for 15 years, and his kids. He even showed me pics of their funeral, which was really sad. He said when he'd been locked up, she visited every month, brought the kids, and stayed loyal to him for the years he was behind bars (some kind of tax fraud was what he was locked up for according to him.) While in prison he'd gotten a degree (I forget what he told me on that.) and hadn't been out too long when they were killed.
My heart really went out to this guy. So, while waiting for my ride, I said well, let's go sit inside the lobby since it's cold. After all, I just got released not long ago. Nope, security had a shit fit and chased us out. He said fuck it I'll get seen in the ER so we can stay warm until your mom gets here. Oh no, security went on bitching refusing to let him be seen in the ER for 20mins - he finally pulled out his phone can called his dad, who apparently is a big time lawyer. His dad said his name and pretty much said "go ahead and deny my son being seen in the ER, I am going to have a field day with your ass and your employers ass in court."funnily enough, this is a catholic hospital too. Apparently Jesus doesn't want people literally discharged within the hour to be able to stay out of the cold until their ride gets there... Or to let a homeless person to be seen in their publicly funded ER. FINALLY, they let him go in and be seen, after they asked "why didn't you get seen with Her at the same time?" fucktards, I've been here 2 fucking weeks.
He saw a friend of his there who'd been waiting over 2 hours, poor guy had a hell of fever. I had some Tylenol on me and gave him a couple. I figured it might help him, and I can get more, I don't know if this guy has any money or anyway to get more if he needs it... Security comes up to me and flips their shit "you giving pills away?!".. "huh? Dude, I just gave him Tylenol. Shit you literally can buy on every corner store, every rite aid pharmacy without a prescription." so they kick me out, so dude I was with comes with me. We sit on the corner literally huddled together for warmth waiting. Then two security vehicles, one with a dog, comes up to us and says literally" get the fuck up, we don't want scum like you next to our building". This has my new found friend flipping shit telling them to apologize to me or he's gonna "send them home to their families in a box"... I like "calm the fuck down, pick you battles and luckily my ride finally shows up, so we get in and my ride takes him to another hospital where he checks in for Psych so he can at least be warm and have food for a few days to a week.
He told me" give it 30 days and my daddy will give me some money.. I think it was fate I met you, you calm me down like my wife used to, I can hear it in your voice. I wanna make things better for us both. You literally intervened in me killing myself tonight. Just give me a month, and I'll have shit right for us- I don't care if you shoot dope. I know you're in pain. My momma, before she died did the same thing. Me, I just smoke weed, that's it. I've hussle drugs before, but weed is all I partake of. Trust me, I'll make shit better, just keep in contact with me, and come see me if you can. "
Dude is Perto Rican, 46 years old, he was telling me what it was like when he was growing up down there. He came to the the continental united states when he was a teen because his parents split up. He was telling me stories about when he was hussling on the streets, hardships he'd had, being locked up, how he met, and married his wife and all. Guy was a genuinely nice person, a good soul, albeit, he does have a little bit of a screw loose, but I do believe him about his father- he didn't mention anything about that until he made a phone call and had it on speaker phone to pretty much tell off the cops. I do believe his father is the bug time lawyer he says. He'd mentioned cases his father had won, and I looked them up, and yeah, he was right. It'd be kinda odd to just have someone who'd ansse the phone saying "hey, dad, I've got an issue with these security pigs who won't let me be seen at the ER here" and them say their name, and tell them he'd be thrilled to have their ass in a court room, all randomly like that. He said he doesn't have much to do with his father, except when he's been in trouble with the law, but his dad sends him money periodically.
Meh, either way, pretty interesting encounter with a nut who's become my friend. Maybe things do happen for a reason. He's a good guy I believe anyway. We've been calling back and forth from where he's at in the psychward. He's got at least some interesting stories to tell anyway,and it was nice to have someone stand up for me when assholes wanted to assert their assholishness.
Anyone else have nuts attracted to them? Got any good nut encounter stories? -
2018-11-27 at 6:23 AM UTC in I slept for 16 hours...Man, I've slept for like 3 days straight after being up for 3 days. They say you can't catch up on your sleep, but before my dad died, he could vouche that yes, I did, and quite frequently too.
I love sleep. If I could sleep forever, that'd be great. Now, sometimes, especially if there's no ryhme or reason for it, sleeping too long really fucks you up, and I feel more tired than if I just slept a normal 6-9 hours.
I think I enjoy sleep so much because I've been depressed and/or in pain so much in my life. When you're asleep it at least means you're not feeling pain (real sleep anyway, not that half assed, half awake, half asleep shit.) or facing the realities of life, you can at least dream about wonderful things that are better than your current reality.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

That, and they sometimes have to put shit on top of you to aid in getting pictures they need.
Sure, some shit could be automated, but what's gonna really keep jobs in the medical field isn't so much what they do, rather legislation, and guidelines from places like the FDA.
An example: 1337 is a pharmacist. His job could be fully automated, as he's just a glorified pill counter (his own words here). What is gonna keep him in a job is the fact that they need a human being due to laws on how medicines are dispensed, as well as a human being to be there to hopefully catch mistakes made, or see harmful drug interactions. Sure, a computer could do all that, but the law requires a human being who spent 8 years in college, studying pharmacology to dispense drugs, particularly narcotics/scheduled drugs. Pharmacists can also prescribe certain drugs too, though that is a pretty rare thing, most don't.
Anywho... Fingers crossed they kill me with sedation for this dumb as fuck MRI. All I need is literally the dose of medication I have been prescribed to handle this shit, but nooooo...
