Never consent to a search.

Generally a good heuristic, but...

I literally had nothing to hide, and figure the more cooperative I am the faster I can get this whole thing behind me. Also, they didn't find anything--rather they didn't plant anything to 'find' it later. And I don't particularly care if they do end up arresting me, mostly because how ridiculous it'd be if they did.

They have no case against me, not only because I'm innocent, but because no one in the class is even sure about the others' names and it's based on hearsay that wasn't reported for two weeks. Also, I am the least threatening person in the class! Being a pacifist, and all.

Oh sure, I'm angry, crazy, have no friends, hold a 'radical' political view, know too much trivial knowledge about guns (damn you, Gunsmith Cats!), play violent videogames, no job, a hatred of small children, and should probably stop listing how I fit the profile of a gunman immediately, but.... damn, where was I going with this?

Yeah see, I even have guns (I'm even sitting here at my computer playing with an empty casing 'cause I don't leave my brass [okay it's actually copper-washed steel, I'm using cheap ammo...] at the range) and I'm pretty sure I could beat "Ambiguous hearsay from two weeks ago".

My plans for the afternoon were interrupted by a splash of ammonia-based cleaner concentrate in my eye.

Aww, that's sweet, Friday.

HELLO EYEBALL MY NAME IS SODIUM HYDROXIDE AND I WILL BE YOUR FLESH-CORRODING CHEMICAL AGENT THIS EVENING wasn't exactly the highlight of my day, nor was the emergency room visit that followed, but to my knowledge the Albatross is in an Atlanta scrapyard and my family is fine.

Lots of bad curry.

Well, he's in England, so that's not hard.

I was going to post that I had a sinus infection in Good Times with an explanation that I thought it was something way worse, but then I started taking antibiotics for it and eeeyaaaaargh.

My av fits PERFECTLY right now.

Büge · « **Reply #3189 on:** March 18, 2013, 01:04:32 PM »

Wait, why do antibiotics make it worse?

Brentai · « **Reply #3190 on:** March 18, 2013, 03:17:49 PM »

Temporarily; I guess whatever was stinking up the joint flipped the fuck out when it started dying. Seems much better now.

Antibiotics tend to kill more than just what you want them to kill. Some of them especially do a number on the useful bacteria in your intestines, or otherwise upset some physiological balance or another. It's kind of like really mild chemotherapy, in a way, which is basically flooding your body with deadly toxins and hoping the good bits outlive the bad bits.

Which is also why, when you have cancer they also use radiation therapy, which kills or weakens the bad stuff as best they can.

Oh, we're already talking about antibiotics? Because that's just what I came here to talk about.

I've had a head cold for 3 weeks now. Last week I finally went to see a doctor about it and got a prescription for some antibiotics.

I, too, will be delicate about precisely what they've done to my body, but I WILL note that I spent most of the day blaming the week-old hot wings I ate last night.

Yogurt is supposed to help -- you know, probiotics to balance out the antibiotics, replenish the gut fauna. I just had a cup and I sure hope it makes me feel better.

I don't get stomach problems when I take antibiotics but it almost always causes my mouth to be sore. :(

Smiler · « **Reply #3195 on:** March 19, 2013, 06:25:18 AM »

I can't take Zithromax because it basically shreds my stomach. The one time I was prescribed it I was shitting liquid for about an hour.

Lottel · « **Reply #3196 on:** March 19, 2013, 11:58:20 AM »

Golly. I am an invincible god compared to you nerds.

2 days in 1.

last night, i could hear my mother downstairs crying in the bedroom, and my dad kept storming around the house, angry. he barked at me to leave the house alarm off, and eventually told me to just ignore it and go back to bed.

try to talk to him about it today and just get into a huge argument over it, hitting a shitload of topics and venting a bunch of stress before it all petered out

among other things I learned are:

He is pretty much a straight up wall now. No change, at all.
He's planned how his suicide will go if his chronic pain gets that bad. Said it wouldn't involve his guns. Realized later how he'd plan to do it, realized also he pretty much will get away with it unless I keep tabs on him 24/7
He still has no idea how to communicate with me, or I him, and refuses to comprehend the possibility there's a malfunction in his viewpoint, despite me begging and pleading for him to consider beyond the fact that I'm fundamentally broken on a social level.
He still has a vicious "I'm right" complex

Just

Fuck.

I've said this before (both on this board and in real life to other people), but there comes a point when "family" just don't mean anything anymore.

Now, I don't know you or your situation, Lyrai (beyond what little you've chosen to reveal here) so I can't make a completely informed judgement. But...

Well. There comes a point when I think it's healthy, for YOU, to stop thinking of Family as... well... "Family", and start treating them as you would a person who is a detrimental to self but are unable to get away from.

My point is, I think it would be healthy for you to detach emotionally from the relationship with your father, if he isn't at all interested in having a healthy emotional relationship with you.

This doesn't mean you need to be rude or mean to him. I don't get into emotional relationships with Bank tellers, but I treat them politely. I just don't, you know, care about them.

Anyway. Take this as you will.

You're not wrong, but that's easier said than done. Condolences, Lyrai.
