The lengths that I will go to

The distance in your eyes

Dead hangs from a chinup bar are great for my shrimp posture back. I guess you could throw on ankle weights to get an authentic experience.

There was once an inland sea called Mega-Chad? Is this one step to discovering the legendary Giga-Chad?

I once heard someone say Afrikaaners should leave South Africa and I was like - you live in North America and you're white, why tf don't YOU leave?

I wouldn't say the whole Afrikaaner ethnicity is poisoned just because of a few apartheid assholes. There were plenty who were against apartheid also.

But also even a name like Verwoerd wouldn't carry the weight of something like Mengele-Eichmann.

You'd probably change your name if it was Mengele-Eichmann and you didn't follow in their footsteps.

Great photos! I got divebombed by a pair when I got too close to their nest.

The rest of the world is not "rolling with it", it is laughing at you, boycotting US goods and travel, and distancing themselves as best they can.

Ploopy is so good! I have their Classic trackball and it's been holding up for years.

They can keep Big Diomede Island and eastward.

Well done!

That reminds me, I wanted to put in a medicine cabinet too.

Do you take it for a month then stop?

Thanks, I'll look into it.

I've definitely been through Some Shit that has been traumatic, not gonna say PTSD because I don't have a diagnosis. But it's apparently common IBS to come along for the ride. I notice when I'm more stressed, the symptoms are worse.

Trying loperamide (generic name for Imodium) to help with IBS. When I have to poop frequently and it always feels like there's more in there, it can ruin my day. So I finally went out and got some of this stuff and it seems to help.

I suppose I have IBS - got tested for everything else and it all came back negative. Thankfully, I'm not celiac as I love bread. Got blood tests, ultrasound, colonoscopy (horrible to prep for that), everything seems OK. Doctor shrugged and told me, "it's IBS I guess".

Hoping to learn to manage it because I'm trying to get in shape. Not being able to eat because I feel disgusting is derailing me.

Happy pooping, everybody.

UPDATE: Thanks for all the discussion and suggestions! It's eye-opening to see how common it is to have a shitty time shitting. You all are helping me feel less isolated and ashamed of my condition.

 

I sometimes can't sleep due to stress or sickness. So I have a book on my nightstand for this situation.

It is a field guide to trees in my area. It is very boring and I'm not retaining much of what I read at 3:30 a.m. The point is to sit in a chair and look at trees until I feel I can fall asleep again.

 

There's a little hole in the flap of the pocket where I can put my favourite cheap pen, a Pilot G-2. This shirt is already comfy. Now it's extra useful too.
