How bad is it? Like "Oooh, that Lasagne's giving me gas," or "Those were milk chocolate chips in that cookie!*Choke Barf Diarrhea*"

Because there are alternatives.

It doesn't seem bad. I can have a bowl of cereal or icecream a day and not feel anything. Three or so glasses of milk though and the next morning I can hardly move from stomach pain and spend half the day on the toilet.

There's... a lot of that going around, actually.  I've had LA for the past couple weeks and I've been hearing about it more than usual from other people.

It can be brought on by various intestinal infections but isn't necessarily permanent.  Lay off the dairy for a week or so and then try small amounts until you're sure you can drink it again without becoming a anti-tank air rifle.

Also consider Lactaid or other milk without lactose.

Came home from work to a fire in our apartment that had just been dealt with.  Nothing lost but our dryer (which is what caught on fire), but we've probably got smoke damage seeped into plenty of stuff and this means I've gotta begin the arduous process of packing up, since the apartment complex is going to let us just pick up and move to another unit and we're probably going to go ahead and do so.

So yay, surprise moving!

It wasn't you or your roommate's fault, then?

Nope, they think it was a bird building a nest in the dryer vent where it lets out outside.

Oh yeah, that'll suck. Dangerous and nasty. For a while at my last apartment we were wondering why there were sometimes bits of feathers stuck to our clothes; turns out there was a nest in the dryer vent and a couple of birds had gotten stuck in the tubes and died there. Considering what could have happened, I think we got lucky.

Since I've had to bail on two DnD sessions now I figure I owe some people some sort of explanation.
My grandma's health has taken a sharp turn for the worse. Her cancer has spread bad enough they are going to have to start taking out chunks of organs. She'll have to have a colostomy bag and may need a caretaker for a year or so.  Been dealing with that for a few days.
My uncle fell off a roof and onto a pile of stuff so his left arm is basically powder. Fucked up his back. Still in surgery. This was Saturday.  Probably won't walk well ever again. Definitely won't be able to use his left arm.
And my girlfriend and I have been fairly rocky this week. Being emotional from family shit isn't helping.
So I've been in no mood for anything fun. And been diving into my job and homework head first.
Not that great of an excuse, I know, since I am volunteering for work but I need to work more to get my mind off shit and build up some hours because I'll have to take a lot of time off to go help my grandma and uncle here soon.

The last few weeks it's been building up and today, four months later, it really sunk in.

My dad's gone. I will never talk to him again. I keep forgetting he's dead lately, I keep thinking to myself, I better call dad, I haven't talked to dad in a while. When he died, we were pretty much estranged from each other - spoke to him once every six months and that was it. The last time I talked to him, he called me for computer help a few months before he died. It was a bad time, I told him i'd call him back. I was going through some depression at the time - I never ended up calling him back. I blew him off.

Every time I scroll through the contacts on my phone I see 'Dad' there and his number. I want to press the button and call him every time. It's funny, when he was alive I dreaded even hearing his voice when I picked up the phone, and now that he's dead, I want to call him, apologize for what a terrible son he's been, tell him I love him and I miss him. Tell him I want him to meet my wife and see that I've become a man and self sufficient and don't need him to worry about me anymore. Tell him he didn't fail me as a father as much as I made him believe he did. But I can't. I'm never going to see him again, call him again, hear his voice again. I can hardly even remember what he sounded like. When he died, I'd spoken to him three times in as many years.

the moral of this story is call your fucking dad.

:sadpanda:

I don't know if it's any consolation, but my dad and I are probably going to do the exact same thing.

At least you're in some kind of company?

I tried to buy a phone from radioshack to help a job there the other day.

You guys kind of can't offer anything that the dealers can. I'm sorry.

Aren't you in school?

Or was this your "while-I'm-school" job.

Also: Have had chest pains that run down my arm and go into my back since 4:30 PM yesterday. Already went to the hospital last night and checked out fine.

Not being in immediate danger of death, may have made this a candidate for the Good Times thread instead, but since it's still going on today.

*sigh*

Then again I did get to be covered in electrodes for a while, which is always fun.
