I don't want to give unwanted advice, and I'm not saying it'll come to it, but a chapter 7 or 13 is probably better than going insane from constant pain. Just judging from your comments about your existence in general.

Hit & Run on my car while it was parked. No one saw who did it.

You should probably just go ahead and change your name to A^2 now.

I tripped and fell yesterday after walking on a slick rock like a dumbass, and now my neck hurts. I dunno how serious it is, but since putting a heating pad on it seems to help, I'm hoping it's just a couple sprained muscles and not, like, whiplash.

So early last week I started grinding my teeth in my sleep. I woke up Wednesday at 4am in the worst pain I've ever been in. Puking from the pain. Spent the next few days on pain killers as a giant blood bubble kept forming over my front right tooth.

Today's the first day since then I could get into the dentist. I was grinding my teeth so hard, I KILLED TWO TEETH.
Go me.

I know a couple people whose grinding is bad enough that they've been told to wear mouthguards while they sleep.

Just learned a lesson in physics the hard way.

Drove my car (Which is a piece of crap) down to my boss's place to let his dogs inside and close the back door.

It got there fine, but died while I was reversing out. It was on the road at the time, so I had to move it off the road, so I put it in neutral and started moving it down the hill, which turned out to not be the best idea. As we started moving onto the hill, it started gaining momentum, I tried to reach the shifter to move it into park (Hand brake is pretty much useless) but I couldn't, it kept rolling and it was dragging me along beside it, clutching onto the driver's side door.

It finally stopped when it banged into a thick fence post, sort of squishing me between the door and the car, Fence post was fine, car's a little banged up, though.

I'm mostly fine, other than feeling like idiot #1, and having a scraped up leg.

If you're ever in that situation with an automatic transmission, your only option is to just jump in and slam the pedal brake.

Yeah, that's... yeah.

I was pulled over by a cop one time. That was a first for me and it was a short time after I got my license, so I got kinda nervous; I didn't do anything wrong but I was like "oh hell I forgot to check something obvious and now I'm fucked". Anyway, I put the car on neutral instead of park before I stepped out. Fifteen seconds I'm like "what seems to be the problem officer" and then the car starts rolling forward with no one in it.

My first reflex? Stick my arm through the rolled-down window and try to hold the car back like you'd grab a drunken buddy to keep him from picking a fight.

Short story short, that didn't work.

So yeah I ran after the car, managed to get a leg in and step on the brake pedal. It wasn't a big incline, fortunately. I got kinda lucky there.

In the end the cop just wanted me to rev the engine to make sure I wasn't running some sort of illegal noise mods (it was a '77 Chevelle Malibu so I guess that might have been a legitimate concern, I'm sure that sucker could output a decibel or two if it was tampered with). I'm pretty sure he was more amused than anything about the whole affair and I got in no further trouble. So, uh, double lucky!

(Guy sure was a better sport about it than the two others who pulled me over later on, which I'm pretty sure was for the heinous crime of driving while bearded because I have fuck all idea why else they'd have done it.)

77 Chevelle Malibu? Haha, oh man, that musta been some kinda sweet-ass land-shark action.

That's the kind of car that makes brruummmm-brruummmm noises and means it.

Yeah, I miss that car. Well, I don't miss the gas mileage, but I miss the car nonetheless. It would go from a smooth, syrupy purr to a bassy roar, but without the obnoxious braaaaaap of an asshole's machine.

Frame broke in half after 25 years of loyal services though. Oh well. Sure was a culture shock to go from it to a '92 Mercury Tracer.

Haha, yeah, my first idea was to try stop the car by holding it back, it was not very successful.

It turns out that it's not that I ate too much at lunch (though I did)! I have some kind of bug or food poisoning!  :imagination:

Fever of 39 just broke, so hopefully tomorrow I'll feel a lot better, but right now is blleeaaarrrgghh.

Canada, man. They use that other temperature scale over there.

...

...wait, 39 Kelvin?! Jesus, you're a popsicle!

(Try shedding those remaining 39 degrees. You'd be 0K then.)

I don't know, but it feels like 39 is well below what we use for cryo-stasis (if it can actually work). I mean, the temperature of the whole observable universe is something like 2-5, right?
