You remember how they used to tell you drinking kills brain cells? And that the effects were cumulative?

The brain damage is only indirectly caused by alcohol(ism) and it comes from substituting alcohol for proper meals over a longer period of time - essentially malnourishment usually caused by both a lack of appetite from the substance abuse and a lack of money. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
injurai Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I think alcohol affects the ability to form new memories more than it kills off brain cells. I can apply knowledge like a mother****er on alcohol, I can't learn **** though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labadal Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Today was a strange day. Got the contact for my new apartment. Today, I also got a cryptic conversation with my boss. I think I'm going to get laid off sooner, rather than later. Time to look for something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azdeus Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) Just came back from the ER. Had a nosebleed that started around 1900 on the evening and it wouldn't stop at all, sat at the ER from 1am to 4am, at 3am the nurse called me in. Just as the bleeding stopped. -.- Edit: Oh yeay, it started again...

Back when I taking classes at MDCC in Kendall I had my final exam in Pre-Calculus II on a Tuesday night. I stopped at the Oarhouse bar & restaurant to study a bit before class. Well, it was two for Tuesday night at the Oarhouse and one Icehouse draft led to another, and another... and another. By the time I sat down to take the test I was smashed. I got a 96.

Gfted1 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Its a beautiful day, blue skies with no clouds, going to be 70something. Ah, I love days like today. Went fishing and didnt catch anything but thats ok. Its getting pretty crowded over by my fishing hole so I think Ill switch to Sundays which seems to have less people. I'm feeling the urge to get my daydrink on and my neighbor is renoing his kitchen so Ill probably go stand around over there and be the tool monkey. But I'm always watching and learning. 2 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raithe Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I seem to remember even less than I thought I did, which is making this first week and a bit of university feel like slightly more of a over my head. I stacked up some background reading, and a few other things to do over the weekend..then this Saturday kind of knocked that all for a six, so I shall hope tomorrow is more favourably inclined to manage that stuff without distractions. I need to bury myself into some in depth sql, mysql, no sql, json, xml, and a batch of others for the Data Science course, while the Internet of Things unit drops you in the deep end on building sensors, activators, single-chip boards, and doing analysis on it all. I've never looked at raspberry pi or cisco packet tracer before now... Plus, it is somewhat disconcerting to basically be nearly twice the age of all the other students. Makes it a touch difficult to connect with the people who share lectures, and you just can't really flirt with the ladies without it being creepy. 2 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Azdeus Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Speaking of memory. My tasks at work really do require me to keep more than 10 things in my head, plus several licence plates, gate numbers, drivers cars and repaired lorries and containers, and whats prioritized. When I began I used up 2 A4's per day to keep tabs on things, couldn't remember more than one or two things at a time, now I'm down to one A4 per week instead. I just kept applying myself and forcing me to remember things and learn them My 22yo coworker still can't remember what his next task is, where things are supposed to go, or most other things that me and the others keep in memory. I'm glad that I've been able to train my memory again, it feels good to know that not all of that grey matter has been used up by... well, something. Also, went to the doctors again, they've plugged up both my nostrils with some foamgelatin. I don't notice any bleeding anymore, but dear god is it annoying to not be able to use your nose. It's even worse than being blocked by a cold, since there is no give at all.

Azdeus Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Must be annoying when sleeping. Whenever I have a bad cold, I wake up with a paper dry tongue. Condolences from Germany, Genosse. Vielen dank. Haven't yet had the pleasure of getting any sleep unfortunately, but I reckon it's going to be just like that. I'm paranoid that I'm going to ruin my bed though, so I took a incontinence bedpad with me home that I'll be resting my head on. If that get's soaked through, I won't have to worry about my bed anymore The biggest annoyance so far has been eating, getting no air through either nostril really makes it hard to get things down.

Guard Dog Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I worked around the house all day. I caught the Florida-Vanderbilt part of Tennessee-Georgia games on the radio. Then I made a porkchop & roasted ear of corn on the grill. Two porkchops actually. I made a small one for Sunny. Now it's time to sit on the porch with a glass or two of Kentucky's finest and catch the Marlins-Braves game on the radio & watch the stars come out.

Keyrock Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Today was my first day doing a part-time job delivering pizzas for Papa John's. I know, not the most glamorous job, but hey, it's extra cash in my pocket, and, apparently a lot more cash than I had anticipated. I only worked 3 hours tonight (this is after my regular full-time job where I put in 8+ hours a day) and it was a slow night and I made over $25 in tips. Sure, that's not exactly a fortune, but that's $25 more dollars than what I had earlier in the day and it was barely work, I was cruising around in my super comfy Mazda while listening to jazz. I'm working Friday night and Saturday night this week, and longer hours both days, and those are the busiest times of the week. Let the money come rolling in. I should have started doing this a long time ago. 2 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadySands Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I have a lot of friends that started driving for Uber and Lyft in their spare time and they are making a decent amount during high traffic times.

Dunno if that's something you'd be interested in. I've come to hate driving in my old age so strike that for me. I thought about doing that, but I can't get this nightmare out of my head of driving someone super drunk home and them puking all over the back seat of my sweet Mazda 6. I super duper baby my car. I keep is clean inside and out and I just about have a heart attack anytime I find the tiniest surface scratch in the clear coat, which I then immediately buff out using Meguiar's Ultimate Compound (that stuff is magic in a bottle). I might straight up die if someone puked in my car.

Ben No.3 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 We outlawed Uber in Germany. Said it screws over both driver (because he isn't actually an employee and therefore not protected or schooled) and customer (because the driver is not employed and therefore Uber won't pay). 1 Everybody knows the deal is rotten Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton For your ribbons and bows And everybody knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
