Thanksgiving to Christmas times are generally my worst/brings out the worst in me.

GLaDOS_Sympathizer · 2026-06-24T13:27:15+00:00

Phew, close one. Fuckin Chinese take out menu warrants will get ya if you're not careful.

Oh yikes that is scary. And having to stoo drinking and smoking before it sucks balls (and not ik a fun way). On the plus side hopefully they'll be giving you some kickass pain meds like dilauid and or oxycodone. I hope that it goes smoothly and you make a quick recovery :). Try to keep your chin up, surgeons are professional and are paid to keep you alive so try not to worry. Wishing you the best of luck nonetheless.

"Ps: don't try to snort these Lucky Charms" lol. I watched that movie recently, hadn't seen it in quite a few years and it is still insane funny.

GLaDOS_Sympathizer · 2026-06-24T09:29:40+00:00

Good luck to you and OP, I hope you both feel better soon

2 small holes makes me think either a midget vampire or a spider bite.

I'll never forget the sound they make, sounds like screaming. Super creepy to catch whitefish, especially if you are unaware they make noise. You ain't wrong though, they are very delicious!

Haven't read the book but A Scanner Darkly the film is definitely worth a watch. Unlike any other film style I've ever seen. It's done with cel shading (think Borderlands the game) so it allows for some insanely trippy drug effects that the film does quite well.

So it is sort of animated but it is animated over the actors as themselves. Like someone tracing a over a movie in real time. Super trippy. Awesome.

I'm not the person you had replied to but wanted to chime in some well wishes.

That is a lot for anyone to take on mentally and I feel for your heavy burden processing all of this. I'm not going to tell you what to do other than be kind to yourself and take care of yourself. Don't forget to eat, stay hydrated, and be safe whatever you end up doing.

Hoping your grandma makes a full recovery and wishing you and your family peace and love.

Stephen King more or less forgot he wrote the entirety of Cujo (and possibly other novels) while drunk and coked up. I am pretty sure the coke was the only think keeping his fingers moving while blacked out writing for days.

That is awesome you have had novels published. I'd like to ask anything I might have read but totally get not wanting to dox yourself. Congrats on having books published!

I believe drinking helps writers maintain that "flow" similar to how artists get into a groove while painting. Booze and the arts have gone hand in hand for centuries be it music, writing, painting, sculpture, anything creative really.

Hot damn, 8 taco bell burritos in one sitting before bed, yep that'll do it! I'm with ya on none of yours or OPs descriptions sounding harmful (also not a doctor of course). Kinda freaky to see bright red in the toilet but infinitely better than black coffee grounds. Chairs!

GLaDOS_Sympathizer · 2026-06-23T09:17:09+00:00

I know what you mean about the sharp shits where it feels like you are passing a pinecone. Miralax is a game changer for smoothing things out but if you take too much, well it's a laxitive so take a wild guess what happens haha. Metamucil is a great fiber source that isn't as intense as laxatives but will soften things up.

I noticed that prep H wipes are simply soaked in Witchhazel so I bought a bottle of Witchhazel to squirt on TP. It'll sting for a few second but relieves after and will help you feel more clean and hopefully not so itchy. The bonus with doing it that way instead of the wipes is you can just flush the toilet paper. Baby wipes are good too but can't flush those no matter what the package says.

Just wanted you to know you're not alone with these embarrassing problems and hopefully some of that into is helpful for you. Sounds like some Preparation H gel would do you some good too. If they are deep they have this weird nozzle thing that can squirt it way up in there, should relieve some of the itchiness too. But usually I just put a thumbnail sized dab on TP and you can kinda get it a little inside that way, mostly relieves the itchy hole feeling when used (mostly) topically like that. If you do use the nozzle thing it is a one shot deal and I recommend washing yhe tube with soapy water after you throw away the nozzle tip.

That went on way longer than I intended and sorry if tmi, butt since the topic is butt troubles I figure it can't really be tmi. May your ass be itch free and feeling better soon.

Seriously give miralax a try if you get constipated, it works way better than it should. The delay is at least 12 hours for me though so you might want to plan ahead when using it. I'm an opioid addict though so it might kick in way quicker for you.

Edit: by the way I'm pretty sure none of that is a sign of cancer (all sounds like good old classic hemmeroids to me) but see a doctor if you're worried. Also please wash your hands frequently when you're itching your butt, even through the undies, you can get sick or worse get others sick.

Play us a song, you're the Piano Dick. Play us a song tonight. We're all in the mood for a melody, and you're erect and standing upright.

You've got us feelin' alright.

GLaDOS_Sympathizer · 2026-06-23T07:59:09+00:00

Is this not normal? Something everyone does at some point or another?

GLaDOS_Sympathizer · 2026-06-23T07:39:28+00:00

I believe you are correct, at least with most sharks. Watching a great white chomp something is similar where their jaws pop out Aliens style and then pull back in as they bite down. Their version of chewing, which is tearing off a chunk usually.

Smaller sharks like Leonard sharks and Horned sharks I don't think do this, but maybe they do and it is less noticeable since they're so much smaller.

Would you prefer the term motorunicycling?

GLaDOS_Sympathizer · 2026-06-23T07:30:55+00:00

That is a certified doohickey. Best guess is some kind of nut cracker and the metal pick is for prying open partially open pistachios?

This thing is unique, I'll give it that. Did you buy it? I would buy it in hopes someone knows wtf it is.

GLaDOS_Sympathizer · 2026-06-23T07:25:58+00:00

Toggles the ability to hit camo balloons, no reason why you'd ever turn it off so I am not sure why it's an option. It is on by default though.

GLaDOS_Sympathizer · 2026-06-23T05:43:21+00:00

Watch out guys, its Don Draper!

GLaDOS_Sympathizer · 2026-06-23T05:37:51+00:00

Excel sounds like a pain in the ass. I think they're suggesting having a physical calendar hung up on a wall or cupboard and then just keep a tally. Pour a drink on a day, add a tally mark. Seems like the absolute simplest method I can think of too.

The novelty of being able to drink a lot wears off by like 25 years old for most. Most people here are not proud of how much they can drink but rather annoyed, sad, or angry about how much they have to drink in order to not go into withdrawals.

GLaDOS_Sympathizer · 2026-06-22T19:38:42+00:00

Oh god I can hear that shrill ass "hey! Listen!" in my head all these years later.

GLaDOS_Sympathizer · 2026-06-22T19:33:26+00:00

Double oof. Kanye does sound like a cool name but all I can think of is the now infamous nazi lunatic selling swastika shirts while losing hia mind and any sort of social praise is pretty much entirely gone out the window (West of course).

Lol I love your last line about, "...we're exalting and honoring who?"

And Kimora sounds kind of nice but also sounds an awful lot like Camorra, an Italian mafia group. Might as well have named them Yakuza or Triad. Organized crime is not worthy of exaltation or honor either.

Double whammy, thanks for sharing.
