I knew that looked familiar.

I'm used to some captcha engines giving you one word from a known dictionary and one word from an unknown text that they are trying to OCR.  They probably have 99% confidence in the unknown text, but they only VERIFY you on the known word.  So if you see one valid word and one gibberish thing, you can type anything you want + the valid word and it will work.

I spend the better part of four months getting a group together to play Pathfinder, and the day before the game my dad says he completely forgot about it and can't get me there. Upon asking why, all he said boiled down to "Your mom has cancer."

It's no surprise to me, the cancer thing, that's been an issue for almost as long as setting up the game. It's just, why is that an excuse he considers valid? Her appointment was today, not tomorrow, so how does that make any sense??

It makes all the sense in the world, if you know you've only got so much time left to spend with a loved one.  They probably had plans to spend time together.

Sorry about the game.

What? Oh wait, I forgot to mention!! The cancer's treatable, and is being treated. My mom's gonna be fine.

Man I sound like a dick without mentioning that part.

...Oh.  Heh.

Well, I'm sure you can scrape some other transportation together.  Maybe one of the other players can snag you, if you offer gas money + snacks.

Migranes. How do they work?

How long do they last? Also, is it throbbing, or continuous? Do you see odd things before a fit?
(it could be cluster headaches or SUNCT. The location certainly does fit.)

It's been going all day, and I got one 2 days ago in precisely the same location, as I have in the past. It's been about a year since the worst ones last hit, though.

It's a continuous dull pain, but it throbs intermittently. There are no visual effects, though they seem to be a bit light-sensitive. They're light enough that I can ignore them right now, but they were on the verge of making me nauseous with pain the other night. I'm going to try eating to see if that takes care of it.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Light sensitive as in light make them worse? And the main area of pain is behind one of your eyes?

[Solifuge]

Yes to both. Making delicious pasta in hopes of curbing this one, right now. It's been a while since I've eaten, which might be making it worse.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Is your eye (the one that the pain's focused behind) dilated at all?

The terrible headaches I used to get have been coming back lately. They might be migraines, but I'm not sure; they're always in the exact same places in my head (above/behind my right eyeball, and at the base of my right ear). They don't always hurt terribly, but when they do they're one of the worst pains I've ever felt.

Thankfully, right now it's pretty faint. I really need to find out what's causing them.

Might be sleep or water deprivation. Those give me the worst headaches all over. Just yesterday (after a 24 no-sleep period) I had the mother of all toothaches. Today, after a good 11 hour nap? Gone.

Officemate's last day was today, and he just left.  He was a good guy.  Even if he did slurp his coffee pretty loud.

Got stopped for speeding. Used my sales technique to weasel my way out of a ticket. Couldn't find my insurance papers, even though my car has 3 years worth stashed in the glove box. Still have to go to the courthouse and pay a fine.

I'm more mad that I was speeding in the first place than that I got caught. Stupid. Stupid, and irresponsible.
