It takes a truly dwarfy badass to work through such a boatload of issues.  You remind me of the military commander I had that had his arm broken by a squad of 3 goblins.  This caused him to drop his axe, so he proceeded to punch all 3 goblins to death with his broken arm.  Let's hope that you can find a doctor who doesn't run off drinking for an entire month while you're strapped to the traction bench!

Well, I appreciate that. Note: I've never punched someone with a broken arm. Also, I probably have to finish my fey mood (see: P&P game) before they strap me to the table. I refuse to die until it's finished. (Which is probably why I haven't finished it yet. >.>)

[SalmonGod]

Any info about on that P&P game?

Any info about on that P&P game?

Aside from the info in my sig? I'll bite the elephant a few times over spring break, if that's worth anything.

Further Sad/Ow: I've now rocked my daughter to sleep three times tonight. Fucking ow, my back.

Merging and rotating pdfs. I feel soiled. I wanna cry

Silly non-sig-reading me.

I find myself feeling like I should place a post in the sad thread far more often than I by any rational means should have. Good thing I stop myself from doing so at least half the time, though.

This night's sads sponsored by the "you had everything you dreamed of and fucked it up" foundation. Such cases.

it continues why ;-;

I turn 30 in about 5 weeks.  It's rather daunting.  One the one hand, I'm intensely aware that I've so far gone no where with my life.  On the other hand, this is shaping up to be a year of drastic change, and the best opportunity I've ever had to break that trend.  One way or another, I'm leaving the only company I've ever worked for.  It's likely I won't even have a choice.  At about the same, my wife is graduating.  There's a lot of opportunity there, but also the imminent threat of student loan payments.  So I have the most opportunity ever to finally break this rusty cage and start making a real life for myself, but then if I fail to do so, I'll probably end up in another trap that will once again hold me for who knows how long.  I'm looking at Year 30 as make or break, and I'm both optimistic and terrified.

Hear hear. I'm slated to finally get my associate's degree this year, so that I can finally get a real job, so that I can finally get health insurance, so that I can finally get my back (broken in a number of ways,)/neck (suspected minor disc slippage and/or herniation, confirmed nerve issues,)/arm (completely asleep from the shoulder down, )/knees (suspected minor tears to ligaments and meniscus [confirmed] in various tournaments,)/ankle (suspected stress fracture, confirmed wearing of cartilage)/foot (suspected liscfranc injury, confirmed poorly healed stress fractures,)/head (confirmed post-concussion syndrome, depression, suspected manic-depressive,) (protip: martial arts can hurt sometimes,) looked at by someone who will offer more than a "sucks to be you," and finally get these four broken wisdom teeth pulled. I've been waiting on all of these medical issues for at least five years, simply because I can't afford them. Maybe once I stop being in so much pain all the time, I'll actually have the energy to get shit done. Maybe I won't drink as much.

I really, truly do hope you get some kind of help somehow. I really don't know what else to say.

Welp
 I should be careful not to get injured like max either. No health insurance either though at least i got this cool smartphone.
I do think this gives me a good invincible excuse against my parents to not have to do any school sports.

They still kind of expect me to be getting scholarship level grades because "oooooh but you are so smart" and i guess getting only slightly above average because i cant arse myself to do homework is kind of stupid of me in a non incompetent sort of way... but i don't know..
Maybe i could be in all honors classes like they expect me to. Its not like they're overbearingly high standard for their children, i just happen to have the strongest acedemic ability and jack shit to shpw for it in the end. The classes arent really difficult either...

I appreciate the sentiment, but don't worry too much about it. I've lived thus far, and I'll continue to do so. *shrugs*

T'other day, I was talking to Reudh, and he said you and I have the most interesting lives out of all the Bay12ers he can think of. I have begun to suspect this is indeed the case. It may sound conceited of me to say that, but you know. I did drugs and stuff, which led to some interesting situations. You had fighting and all the crap that's happened in your past.

But both of us are relatively well-adjusted, somewhat happy individuals. Right?

Man, really depressing on my side :/ This got my 'sad of the day award,' much more on sympathy and the feeling of "I'd want to help treat that" instead of making me sad.

...Just to ask (as I'm pretty unsure this thing could happen where I live..medicare problem?), is this a normal thing there? I mean, medicare should be available to those who ask - every medical professional/practitioner has sworn under Hippocrates' Oath.

To see others being denied aid just because of money is...truly saddening.

I think I hit that point where visiting home stops making me glad I don't live here anymore and starts making me wish I could again. I don't like being an adult.

[Wrex]

Oh yes, In America, if you can't pay exorbant medcal fees, or can't obtain health insurance, you have to suffer regardless of the actual issue.

[SalmonGod]

A hospital has to treat you if your life is in immediate danger, but only what's required to keep you from dying.  And then they own you.
