Dear People Living A Block Away From Me:

Please use a lower-watt bulb for your porch light. There is no reason for your porch light to be so goddamn bright that its glow can travel across two houses, a road, and two vertical stories to my bedroom window and still arrive bright enough for me to read by comfortably. While I appreciate being able to passively sponge off your electrical bills, I also enjoy sleeping, and having a nuclear vampire cooker blazing through my window at 2am complicates that somewhat.

Unless we're actually attacked by vampires, in which case no force of nature will shift me from beneath your Searchlight of Doom.

Sincerely,
Sleepless in [REDACTED]

He is a very good writer of troll emails.

That was an awesome read.

Indeed. My day just became much less depressing.

So true.

Air pressure shifts. Damaged bitsies tend to be a bit more sensitive. Lots of people have that trick to one extent or another -- arthritis flares, etc., etc.

Yeah, this is actually a really common one, ever seen in fiction or elsewhere an old fisherman or some-such who says that his/her hip/whatever is telling them that a storm is coming?

So let's say there's a hot front moving over a cold front, which I believe is how it usually happens for those of us in temperate regions (I'm a little iffy on the meteorology department). The hot air heats up the cold air which makes it want to rise because the warmer a gas is the more it wants to expand, this causes the pressure to drop which makes fluid try to push out of a joint, if the joint has been damaged in the past it can make this very easy for the fluid to do, and then you get popping noises and possibly a lot of aches and pains.

Yeah, I've seen the fishermen examples, but I never thought it was really true, just a metaphor. And the joint is very damaged, still. ^^^^ normal hand ^^^n my hand. I can literally see through where my knuckle should be.

My knee is the same way, inasmuch that it should be in meterology. I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I fucked up my knee in a martial arts tournament.

So yeah, I have arthritis, every.  fucking.  joint. when the weather changes.

You should probably get that checked out. That, or take an ibuprofen when you know a storm's rolling in.

Pics or I don't understand what you mean?

Did he just Australia all over the everything?

ibuprofen/asperin/naproxin etc. gives me vomiting, seizures, and bleeding ulcers.

and I had to stop tylenol/sulfasalazine due to slow liver damage.

enbrel/humera/etc. give me massive migraines.

steroid medications make me blind and psychotic.

Something like this? This is a friend of mine. warning! this is what can happen to your hand when you crash land an ulta-light aircraft and your hand goes through the propeller cage. NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH!

... he has mostly recovered aside from some stiffness and numbness.

a walking bastion of allergies?

Oh, yeah, I also broke out in hives/inability to breath from a cortizone shot.

Fortunetly, after a prior bad reaction to medication, I always hang out in the hospital for 15-20 minutes after the first time with any new medication.

It's probably caved in. Sounds like a severe boxer's break.

Okay, don't take ibuprofen, then. Can you eat foods high in ginger?

Ouch, that sucks.

In other news: My relatives are assholes. Seriously, when you meet a transvestite, your first reaction should not be to burst out in laughter after they tell you that they are a woman in a mans body. FUCKING. ASSHOLES.

[kaenneth]

I take ginger, ginko, ginsing and garlic, in addition to a multivitamin, fish oil, tumeric, and extra vitamin D

[kaenneth]

Well, I got my arthritis pretty much under control with diet; however, said diet added ~60 lbs. (I'm eating the right things, now I just have to eat less of them)

Well, that's good, at any rate.

So if you're in any kind of highly painful situation, you're more or less fucked unless you can continue to deal with the pain.
