Boo-boos and Owies

I think they get stock in a cybernetics corporation. I think it is a limited compensation package, though it has free medical care.

Life insurance policy is pretty nice. So there is that too.

As a handler, I'd be more interested in a life assurance policy...

Remember, a life insurance policy isn't for the one who dies, but for the ones who live.

Ouch, Taer... Yeah, hearing about a broken rib is bad enough for those of us not experiencing the pain. Seeing the actual break in the bone puts it all into even greater perspective.

But, yeah... I agree with Alfi here, but I recommend the carbon fiber instead. It's much, much lighter. And have the docs do all the ribs at once, as well as any other bones they can get to, just for the sake of efficiency.

Oh, that's not a good image of it.  Here, have a better one.

That looks like it is very painful!

It only hurts when I laugh (or hiccup, or cough, or bend over, or...)

Never. Ever. Eatsing from Arby's again.


Bleh...

*returns to bathroom to throw up*

Arby's: 1

Don't you watch the Jon Stewart show.  He has extolled the evils of Arbys for years.

Its called: "Having Ski Trip buddies that all like Arby's". Sadly they had one of the quickest service of any fast food joint I've seen in a while.

Wednesday, I tripped over a plastic crate, and hit my eye pretty hard on the corner of a cabinet. I ended up getting a swollen black eye that hasn't swollen down until now. 

Good news is it's still healing and the swelling is going down. Bad news - the discoloration may remain for a few days longer.

Teaches me to put away dishes while walking in darkness, blind as a bat.

Lol, hope the eye feels better.

Arbys...Because you hunger is stronger than your memory.

Or friends. Was following those suckers because that's where they all decided to go.

Coulda gone to subway witha friend and his GF, but didn't want to intrude...regreting that decision

PolosElite23 wrote:Lol, hope the eye feels better.

TBH, there wasn't much pain after the impact, just a lot of dull feeling. XD 

But not to worry; I did say to my friends that the eye would be back to normal by the end of Spring Break - seems it's going to be earlier than that for the swelling.

Also, Arby's has a way of stuffing you up, eh?

Stuffing you up is the wrong term.

Upchuck is better

The ideal service time for any eatery (and I do mean ANY eatery) is 10-15 minutes. Any longer and you might want to check to see if you got the right order. Any sooner and you might want to give your food a once over.

It's a bit late for that now - the swelling went from being like a ping-pong ball to being nonexistant now.  But I'll keep that in mind the next time that happens.

Polos: the iridescent sheen on the meat should have been your first clue. Next time, take them to Harpoon Harry's.

TG: Be thankful you didn't take that corner square in the eye. You're a lucky guy.

I always preferred "chunder", or "technicolour yawn" at a stretch... those might just be local though.

Well shit, I'm basically screwed then.  Mongolian food service is typically insanely slow about 45min to an hour to get your food at a restaurant.  In the off chance it comes fast, it comes insanely fast.  Delivery is even worse, if you want to eat at 8 you better order your food 2-3 hours earlier.

FYI- the food does taste really good though.... aaaahhhhhhhh Indian food....... Kebabs....... oh so good...... dam it now I'm hungry again......

Vomit.
Throw up.
Lose your lunch.
Heave.

Chunky monkey.
Driving the porcelain bus.
Blow chunks.
Toss your cookies.
Upchuck.
Spew.
Worship the throne.

There are others, but those are ones I remember my college buddies and I used.  (I went to Chico State in California.  We were on Playboy's top ten party schools list multiple times.)

That's just an American thing CI. Everywhere else in the world, times vary.

IE, in the UK where if you don't get your kippers & chips in less than 2 minutes, they're messing up.

I've been to OZ, I've been to the UK, and I even went to the Bahamas once(didn't like it).

This is my laptop. There are many like it, but this one won't fucking turn on.

Did I mention I have something to turn in in every class?

Sooooo I'm freaking screwed...

And I drop my phone and crack the screen. FML

Sorry for your loss brother.

Does this mean the Camping Collab is off?

Nah. I can still post and stuff. Just means I'm screwed in the schooling department.....

Edit: My laptop seems to be running now...I'm doing diagnostics to figure out what is up with it...

Didn't you just buy that thing last year?

Today, I dropped my ancient cellphone and took out the screen ... two weeks after I gave away my third free upgrade on the phone, thinking I'd never use it.

What carrier do you use?  AT&T, T-Mo, etc.

Thescarredman wrote:Didn't you just buy that thing last year?

Yea.

taerKitty wrote:What carrier do you use?  AT&T, T-Mo, etc.

Verizon. I can buy a new-and-improved version of the phone I broke for a hundred and fifty bucks. No big deal, really. As long as I don't lose the data and pics in the switch.

I hope every one hurt gets better, all equipment damaged, gets repaired or replaced.
As for Arbys..... Nom, Nom, NOM!
is it cheese? Nay; 'creamy cheddar cheese sauce', lolz.

I'm going to go throw up again.

Saw a YouTube vid of this camera crew going around to all the fast-food places, ordering items and comparing them to the pictures in the advertising. Then calling the manager out and, with the camera in his face, asking,  "Can you make us one like the picture?"

I think one out of five actually did a credible job of it.

I present to you the pinnacle of carnivorous eat-out excursions...the Arby's Meat Mountain.

No, it is not on the menu. Yes, you can ask for it but be prepared to pay around $10 (US) for the sandwich alone.

You guys suck

Honestly, the only burger place (fast food variety, "gourmet" and independents not withstanding) I've found which consistently delivers food as advertised in the photos is MOS Burger.

Actually, the Japanese owned/style chains tend to do a pretty good job in general. Beyond that though...

Yeah, MOS Burger is solid.

Are the ones in Australia like the ones in Japan? I noticed when I had MOS Burger in Hawaii it was different than what I get in Tokyo.

just to add to the vomit list

puke
chunder
Pavement pizza

I am never eating fast food again because of you chumps

Gordon Ramsey approves.

Mmmmm.... may have to go to Arby's later.... assuming I don't go to the one LEGIT sushi place on the Southside.

(run by a family from Hokkaido, if I recall correctly. Okaa-sama loved that I tried to speak what little Japanese I knew, as well as bringing her the one guy on our department who's half-Japanese, and speaks it as well).

Honestly, it was a bit of a gap between when I had it in Japan and them opening in Queenstreet Mall, so hard to tell. Let me put it this way: I don't remember biting in and going "this doesn't taste right".

Medical scare on my end... (3/26/15)
Woke up so fucked up, tingling on right hand and foot, similar symptoms of a stroke. After eating breakfast, things were not improving, so I sent myself to the hospital.

Lots of test and blood drawn. All say that I'm OK. Nothing wrong with me. But there will be a follow up with Neurology next week.

I feel a lot better now than I did earlier today. Maybe I dodged a bullet today, I can't say. Just count my lucky stars and thank the god I pray to and nothing more.

At least it's (relatively) good luck this time. Hope your follow-up is dull and boring and a waste of time - in the nicest possible way

I hear ya, Vett! I hope for the same thing!

I hope the neurology tests are good as well, Elfen. Here's wishing for everything to work out fine.

Thanks Tremec!

So, nothing like having spent Friday and Saturday occasionally in stress-induced tears thanks to the fact that I have had to act as intermediary between my mother and father regarding a matter of property and money back in the Philippines. Certain papers are not being signed which a property group would very much like to have despite the fact that my father signed something they wanted over a year ago that should have been all they needed. Main concern is that to sign this form after the previous one can easily be interpreted as fraud, but apparently "Things work differently in the Philippines" and so for various reasons I've been caught up in this nonsense in addition to the various problems and frustrations I already deal with. It would be complete nonsense and I wouldn't care as much if it weren't for the fact that a fraction of the money from the success of this deal would be enough to send me to a technical college in the fall.

TL;DR I hate family-related drama that involves money and a refusal to communicate.

Good luck to you MP5.

Much love brudda. Hope everything goes your way.
