Can you afford an office visit?  They can't exactly tie you up and feed you to the Yawning Butthole of Science.

I can, but if they just want to send me to a specialist it's going to be another bill piling up that I have to pay (or have go on my credit report, more likely) thanks to deductable. I've already got about 500 dollars worth of those I'm hoping they'll stop calling about. I also fucking hate my doctor, but it's not like I can't find another.

If the problem keeps up I'll go see the doctor next week. I'm hoping it's just a medicine side effect but I can't help but let the hypochondriac in me think it's a tumor.

Oh.  Hi.

Suffice it to say I no longer consider the infestation to be a "pet peeve".

I took the more sensible approach of turning my garage into a flowing river of poison.

On the topic of buggin' out, there's a platoon of the water walking bugs from Mario 64 sitting in a puddle right outside my room door. Whenever I open it they jet straight for inside.

Someone call for help, I'm surrounded.

Once every five or six years I get a craving for a hot barber shave. I diligently do research to find guys with good reviews, I actually lay out a fair, but not exorbitant amount of money (in today's case it was $28), and then, after I come home with a shitty incomplete, shave, stubble, my face chopped up like cheap steak, I remember why I never ever do that.

But today was especially impressive! Not only was he really obviously rushing it, somehow the idiot even managed a half-inch cut right under my eyeball. Like WTF... I DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY HAIR THERE YOU IDIOT WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU EVEN DOING?!

For that kinda money you could buy a straight razor and hack your own face up.

I know!

Shaving is an immensely frustrating thing for me. The main problem is that I have TERRORIST BEARD, IMPERVIOUS TO MISSILE WEAPONS, AND ALSO NAVAL RAMS. The kind of guy who has 5 o'clock shadow even immediately after shaving (even though my face is totally smooth). 

For a while many years back Geo had me on old-fashioned razors, but I just hated fussing with those soap pucks and badger brushes and the like. I find regular shampoo works just fine as long as it's lathered plenty good. The key is that I'm a shave-in-the-shower guy and I only start shaving after the whole bathroom is like a super-sauna. That's better than ANY soap.

A few years ago Starr bought me a really high-end electric for Christmas and while it is a really nice electric, no electric ever shaves as well as a decent blade.

Mostly I just use my old Sensor Excel (I don't like newer 3-blade disposables because they're hard to manoeuvre around my face), but it's a pain in the ass to buy blades for that thing and expensive to boot. $30 for a pack of 10 fucking blades! Each of which only lasts me 1.5 shaves! I used to get two shaves per blade head (barely), but either the grade of titanium my face grows was upgraded, or else Gilette downgraded the grade of steel they use in those blades. I still try to get 2 shaves out of each blade, but man I always feel that second one.

Hell, it's really just the first 3 or 4 strokes with a nice fresh blade head that are really sharp enough. If my razor could just be that sharp all the time I'd have it so much easier.

I really prefer being clean shaven but because of the above (and also because it takes me like a full half-hour to shave), I'm one of those dirtbags that doesn't shave for 5-6 days.

Wanting a sharp razor is not manly?

Happy to be a little girl then.

This reminds me of when I was (even) younger and there was this commercial on TV for a razor that would never get dull and had a lifetime guarantee etc.

Could be both. Shaving strengthens the hair. A friend of mine who works as an esthetician informed me that people who shave their legs regularly often experience the most pain when they wax.

The company is probably long since folded.

If you go through blade heads so often, you might want to try a safety razor.  Then you'd just be buying the blades rather than over-engineered bits of plastic and tinfoil.  Unless that's what you were talking about, rather than a straight razor.

I figure if I go back to safety razors I might as well just get a really high-quality straight razor.

My dad thought it was a good idea to invite some woman to stay with us while her boyfriend is out of town or something. I was told she would be here for 2 weeks. That was more than 2 months ago. Because of my anxiety problems and the fact that the vast majority of dad's "friends" are drug addicts who can't be trusted not to steal from us, I really dislike there being anyone here when Dad isn't here. But she just comes and goes as she pleases. Also her boyfriend has been periodically spending a few days here as well. I'm not sure why. There doesn't really seem to be any fucking reason for them to be here at all. Ahem.

Well, Dad and I live in an apartment and we're not allowed to have pets. We're also a few months behind on the rent because Dad likes to give his money away to addicts. I'm not kidding about this, by the way. Over the past couple of years he has, in his words, "invested" almost $2000 into a specific singular person and has just recently decided that the relationship isn't going to work out after months of her sleeping around because she's trying to get pregnant (well to be fair, my dad DID have a vasectomy) and her screaming and throwing temper tantrums every time she comes over to the apartment. $2000 is more than 3 months' rent. Also, my dad owes me $800 now because he keeps having to borrow money to pay off bills that he should be more than capable of paying off (he did it for all those years before I had a job!).

Right, so. We're not allowed to have pets. About 2 weeks ago this woman that has been staying with us (who is different from the "investment," by the way) adopted a dog. A Siberian husky. I objected to the dog being let into the apartment. I object to all dogs being let into the apartment. I was told the dog would only be here for a "night or two" and it has in fact been here  for a fortnight. The apartment smells like dog. A couple of days ago, the landlord came by looking for some rent. Dad wasn't here  to explain to the landlord why tenants who can't afford rent can afford a Siberian husky that hasn't been trained not to piss on the floor.

On top of all this, a sore throat deal that will most likely become yet another stomach issue for me (shit always drains down) has been going around at work. So about a week after everyone else was over it I got a sore throat. Luckily day 2 is said to be the worst and I have tomorrow off.

I'm at my wits' end. I hate these people and I hate how fucking irresponsible they are. I hate how they just give their money away or swallow it in secondhand painkillers.

Your landlord knows that there are two people in his apartment who are not on the lease agreement and with a pet, but didn't put his foot down about kicking them out? Might be time to remind him how illegal that is, and how easily he can demand it be fixed.

'Cause your dad isn't going to fix anything with his own dire need to save people who do take advantage of his charity.

Today I felt enough discomfort coming from what could be a hernia that I feel like I need to revisit the current doctor-recommended strategy of crossing my fingers.
