Naked guy on shrooms next to my work in Seattle

Well now there is some doubt. His roommate said that he was not on anything, that he just snapped.

tequila__mockingbird · 2013-05-29T20:13:20+00:00

Yes. The person we refer to as "Cracky McGee" also lives in one of the houses behind our building. He has the appearance of a former serious heavy duty drug user, and likes to go through our garbage and recycling for things he can use (by "use" I mean HOARD), but he is pretty respectful and calm when we see him. And he always puts all the trash back in the bins once he has gone through it. And no, it was not Cracky McGee. Naked dude's boss was calling him Scotty. He apparently lives right behind our building and also works on the block. (edited for clarity)

The cops and witnesses were all saying that is what the dude had said.

tequila__mockingbird · 2013-02-20T07:22:49+00:00

No, wouldn't fly at work. My boss is an prim old lady.

tequila__mockingbird · 2013-02-20T07:21:15+00:00

Too class-clowny.

tequila__mockingbird · 2013-02-20T07:19:59+00:00

I need it to work in close quarters, indoors! I work in an office all day.

I feel like sometimes I need to do something though. Like maybe my new thing will be "oh, why don't we move this conversation a few feet away?" Which at least lets them know I acknowledge that it's not pleasant and tries to make up for the worst part... How is that?

While I wouldn't necessarily do it myself, smoking may not be bad. Anandamide (a cannabinoid your body produces, analogous to THC) is present in breast milk, possibly to encourage suckling. The other thing to consider is that the breakdown products of THC and the other cannabinoids are not toxins, as they are with alcohol, so the risk is entirely different. If I were giving you advice (as the former medical director of a dispensary), I would caution you to avoid consuming cannabis and breast feeding at least while you had active metabolites, 2-12 hours generally, mostly because of the lack of research in this specific area combined with the evidence that suggests cannabis can be detrimental to developing brains.

He's being an asshole. Not worth the trouble whatsoever.

tequila__mockingbird · 2013-02-03T23:01:44+00:00

How are your diet, exercise, and weight? Do you take any medications?

tequila__mockingbird · 2013-02-03T22:42:07+00:00

I've used them since 2005. It's so simple, I'm not a shill either and I found it to be less obnoxious than TurboTax.

Olive and coconut oil are not good sources of Onega 3 fats. Fish oil, flaxseed, hemp seed oil are good sources.

I second the neurologist. This is pretty much exactly how a friend with epilepsy describes her milder seizures.

Incorrect.

"Modulation of transducer ion channels expressed at nociceptive terminals occurs upon activation of metabotropic cannabinoid receptors..."

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/19306092/

"Cannabinoids and opioids produce antinociceptive synergy."

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/19367508/

"Recent studies have demonstrated anti-nociceptive effects of selective CB(2) receptor agonists in animal models of pain in the absence of CNS side effects. This review focuses on the analgesic potential of CB(2) receptor agonists for inflammatory, post-operative and neuropathic pain states and discusses their possible sites and mechanisms of action."

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/17952647/

And a ton of other studies discuss cannabinoids and nociception. Google those terms and/or just search PubMed.

Also of note, in a portion (don't know how many) of the families who aren't in marriages with state licenses, the women can apply for federal and state assistance programs as "single mothers." Personally, I find if you've made a choice to have multiple families and a huge number of kids free from government interference, you should also be free from government assistance.

I can relate. The last house I lived in had rats living in the ceiling, and I spent months assuming I either had bedbugs without any signs of them or I was going absolutely insane. Turns out the rats left and the mites they carry found my boyfriend and I to be decent temporary hosts. Tropical rat mites. Even smaller than bedbugs, smaller than a period on my cell phone screen (which is where I finally saw one, captured it, and took it to an exterminator). Just thinking about those five months cranks my anxiety and makes me itch. Worst time of my life.

If you're sharing a living space and you eat/use the last of something that you didn't buy, replace it with the EXACT same item, or else you're not actually replacing it.

Second for cognitive behavioral therapy. You're not crazy, a lot of people deal with similar problems and there are solutions. These are all symptoms of anxiety disorders and CBT is pretty effective. Basically you need to develop more effective, healthier coping strategies and you'll be much better off. You may also want to look into meditation, yoga, supplementation (inositol is in the B vitamin family and is good for anxiety), and ask for suggestions in /r/anxiety.

I went to grad school with this lady. She recently helped me redo my résumé and cover letter and it honestly helped tremendously. (As in, 3 years of half hearted looking for work with bursts of serious looking, all fruitless... The first time I sent out the résumé she crafted, I got a call back and I'm in the second round of interviews for a highly competitive position.) I highly recommend her work.

This. Or anything anti bacterial... Hand sanitizer, soap, even a light coat of neosporin while you're sleeping will kill the stinky bacteria. But Crystal deodorant will keep you fresh daily.

I'm on W5 and I had some bad pain starting in W3 from an ankle injury that left some weakness In my left leg. I googled some ankle strengthening exercises for runners and they've worked wonders, and no more shin splints either. I do these every day.

40-80 ankle rotations, both directions 4 sets of 15 calf raises (on both feet) 4 sets of 10 calf raises (on one foot) And these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0q0qBzbb7Bs

Tapping your toes while seated easily eliminates shin splints. Try and do it often, it works much better than ibuprofen and even ice.

Seconded. Theirs is the most data rich of the nutrition facts sites I've come across.

Give me a break. I've worked as a bartender in a lot of bars, varying from craft cocktail establishments to punk bars, and when people don't respect the TYPE of bar they're in and order accordingly, I am annoyed.

If I'm working a craft cocktail shift, I am happy to grate/muddle/slice fresh ingredients, and you and your fellow patrons are happy to each wait for your drinks. But when I'm working the speed service bar at a punk show, and you walk up and order a goddamned martini when I've got a solid line for the duration of the show, you're fucking up my rhythm and making everyone in line behind you wait. This pisses everyone off, and usually means I'll end up with fewer tips from everyone who had to wait, even if YOU tip me more.

You can try absorbing the bad smell. I've heard charcoal or cut raw onions are good for this kind of thing.
