i have a awesome idea for a comic, but i can't draw any better then a stick man, and the story in mind requires something far more detailed.

Hiya Katch. watchoo wearin? :)

Ewwgh! I just had the most revolting thing happen in my kitchen!
This was seriously severe man.
I was planning on hard boiling some egs for a quick lazy dinner because I'm hungry and forgot to eat last night… ANYWAY, I noticed the water was getting strangely milky so I suspected one of the eggs was cracked because it was prolly a going a little bad.
Usually those are ok though…
This one was NOT however! I came it a bit later to see the pot was filled with frothy crap on top, no surprise there, but when I got closer the smell was horrific. No, not a bad egg smell. This was the smell of something long dead. The disgusting death smell. Rotted, stinking, dead flesh.
Looking in the water beneath the froth, it was filled to the brim was this white tangled ribbon… Like flat spaghetti or noodles, tightly compacted and very thin, and reeking of death.
I don't know what was going on in there and I didn't want to find out. I dumped it all in a bag with the rest of the eggs in the fridge and threw them all in the bin outside. Then hosed out the saucepan.
I'm having a pie instead. T_T
-Do not know what the spaghetti stuff was. I'd like to think it was a great big huge saprophytic worm that had infested the egg and had tried to escape being boiled to death by getting out of the egg… only to be boiled to death anyway. :)
At a guess though, I'd say it was the putrefied albumin of the egg that had been forced out of a crack by the increasing pressure of the internal gasses (because of the heat), and had solidified into a long stream while doing so.
a lot more boring, but logically it seems more likely. :(
Other than the time I was at work, I feel like I spent most of today caring for Juliet…giving her medicine, giving her vaseline, taking her to the vet, enticing her to eat, enticing her to exercise(to get her digestive system moving), and just spending time with her to make her feel better. The vet said some rabbits are just prone to this sort of thing, and that there are some who they see 2-3 times a year. I guess I'll have to stop panicking every time it happens. I just don't know how I'll afford it if she has to be at the vet that often.
She's feeling better, though. I was very worried last night because I hadn't seen her drink anything, and I got her to take some water this morning. I just called her and she came out to greet me as usual, whereas this morning she wouldn't come out of the closet. Hopefully by tomorrow she'll be eating normally.
I don't know how parents deal with having children - it's very stressful being responsible for the health and well-being of a living creature.
I bet you'd make for a very good loving parent one day. Just don't be too overprotective, though.
*as in… the moment your child is at the age to start dating don't lock them away in some bank vault 'til they reach 80 years of age… or somethign like that…*
Edit Addon: ugh… stepped on a piece of glass outside while barefoot. Went inside, dabbed some cotton swabs in alcohol and cleaned the rather tiny wound then bandaged it up. It hurts quite a bit, but I welcome the pain. No, I'm not some kind of masochist.
As a type II diabetic the nerves in my extremities (and my eyes) will eventually stop functioning. And when they do I'll be unaware of any wounds I recieve under my feet and will have to check them every night to make sure no infection sets in. But for now I have to welcome the pain that I do get in my feet (not constant pain though) as it tells me that things are still functioning as they are and that I'm still very much alive.
@Hippie Van - I truly hope your Juliet feels and (especially for your sake) acts better soon. A life where one doesn't care is rather a shallow life, imo. But when you begin loving and caring, the yin/yang will enter in - and at times that will be painful. But I'd rather live the fullness. bang for the buck, and all that.
@Lonnehart - I have a grave respect for diabetes II. Over time I've been building quite the profile on you ( all good), but the diabetes factor caught my breath, particularly since it was a factor in my grandmother's death (she "cheated" so frequently with intake of sugar that when she was found comatose they treated for sugar-overload when it wasn't). BE GOOD TO YOURSELF. dammit.
and I'm still not well, and I'm sick and tired of it. I am THE impatient patient. Fuck fanart. I want some funny posts here. MAKE ME LAUGH! I need some good medicine.
do eeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!
It was also a factor in my own mother's death and the reason my father now has total renal failure (he was never one to go to a doctor when he felt wrong, hence why it's gotten so far). I don't cheat much on my diet. I lean more towards vegetables and fish, will have chicken and beef on occasion, and steer as far away from pork and octopus as possible (pork because it can make your glucose level skyrocket, and octopus because I ate it when I was very young and became violently ill). I may go ahead and do what my cousin did to reverse her diabetic condition… go total vegetarian. But without being so rabid as to try and force people around me to take on the same lifestyle…
Heh… pop culture in Japan can be… strange. In fiction everyone loves Tsunderes. In real life, not so much. Women who are in love with someone, but are unable to "properly" show it. Instead, they show it by hitting their love interest with anything from paper fans, stone tables, wooden mallets, and FIREARMS. Wouldn't want a woman like that chasing me in actual life. I probably wouldn't survive those attacks… Apparently the word "dere" means "affection, and "tsun" means "to push away"…

Thank you! : )
I'm a non-rabid vegetarian and I'm quite healthy(other than my allergy issues), as is my dad. Although I've no idea what the effects would be on a diabetic.

@Ayes: Thanks! Juliet is doing much better now.
I think she hates my dad even more now, though. It takes two of us to give her her medicine so every time he comes in my room she's like "Run away!"
I think you're right about the caring…I can't imagine coming home and not having all my little animals there to greet me, even though they're sometimes(often) a pain in the butt. I suppose it'll be the same. and more so, when I have children.

A cute guy came in to our store today. I talked to him for a while(about dog food, very romantic) and then invited him to come to our "pet pictures with santa". After he left, my coworker reminded me that I'll be in a ridiculous elf costume that day. Ooooh noooo...
Lonnehart wrote:Bloody hell! The Japanese not only have a special name but an entire genre to go with any personality trait or sexual preference! I am astonished.
Tsundere
BTW, don't get Skoolmunkee's punching personality confused with one of those- her knuckle sandwiches are made of awesome force and righteous fury, not misguided love.
@Ayes- Get well soon Ayes. It's not really fair that you should be sick again so soon!

@Hippie - HAHAHAHA! That's like something out of a sitcom, brilliant :)
@Hippie Van-
Diabetes is a disorder where the body can't control it's glucose levels (you get a lot of that from starchy or sweet food). Type 1 is more severe since the body has trouble manufacturing insulin to manage its glucose levels. Type 2 is milder. Basically the cells develop some kind of "insulin resistance" which means we can't absorb the glucose in our bloodstream because our cells are not responding to the influence of the insulin. Just the top of my head… I could be incorrect…
Anyways, a vegetarian diet helps as long as we don't eat too much starchy/sweet fruits and vegetables. As for the meat… the fats in meat can contain a lot of glucose so chicken (without the skin) and trimmed lean beef I can manage. But for some reason pork has a LOT of glucose in it or something…
@Ozone-
heh… as far as I know Skool has no love interest, so I figure that if you give her enough reason to she could turn into a violent maniac rather than a Tsundere. Lots of "dere" personalites out there, of which the scariest is the Yandere. Those women will love you to death… literally… O_O

Is that any worse than Huey Lewis' Happy to be Stuck with You ?
The wife is in lots and lots of pain, I can't seem to get any energy and have slept two days away. But then it could be this 70 degree weather in November. My head feels like it's full to bursting with sinus pressure. And the sweet wife leaves these notes pledging her eternal love with warm fuzzies and then lists of things to do. Why does she need a copy of every single check she mails to every single creditor we have for everything? Aren't carbons and receipts good enough for her?

@Bravo-
Ugh… sorry to hear your wife is going through that. I guess it's pretty hard to sleep when your better half isn't feeling so well… As far as having copies of checks, you can never be too careful, you know. Or maybe it's just paranoia…
@Genejoke-
Heh… We're not drooling women hungry men who go after every woman who declares their availablity. At least… I don't think the males on this forum are like that…
I'd love to quote both posts, but this new forum system doesn't like multiple quotes in the same post, even with direct HTML editing…
I am now attempting to hard boil some new eggs… getting back up on that horse. They're new and they're free-range, but I still can't entirely dismiss the spectre of that horrible pot-filling spaghetti-worm and its flesh rotting deathsmell .
It haunts me with a vomitsome miasma of horror T_T
thanks for the Eeyore, Gullas :D
I was SO cranky yesterday. I told my Mom-in-law when she checked in with me yesterday that my big goal in life (at that point) was to find a big stick and go to the side of the road and shake it at the cars speeding past the house while yelling obscenities like a pirate.
Never thought I'd be saying this about my M-i-l, but her response was pretty cool: she totally related and offered to get her own stick and join me. She's in her 80s.
and now reading the posts, it would be a fine trio if skoolmunkee's little boxer would join in. And I invite Bravo's wife when she's feeling up to it, too. She probably won't want to unless Sarge comes, so he can come, too. shoot - anyone who wants to shake a stick, meet me in Jersey.
btw - I think skool started her luv list from the bottom (like David Letterman's top ten) else where be the long-legged tap dancer?

edit: forgot to add the space so there'd be line spaces in the giant block of text.
stupid text writer!!
*shakes her stick*
If there's one thing scarier than a lady wielding a stick, it's a lady wielding a BIG BOOMSTICK! You know… the one the big game hunter types call the "Elephant Gun". O_O;
And one of my coworkers saw me posting comments on YouTube and asked why I use so many of these…
"…"
You know? It's probably because a lot of times I want to say more, but if I did I'd put out a wall of text. And my thoughts do trail off a lot, switching from one thought to another. Kinda like how you're watching TV, but someone else has the remote…
…
Well… that's the best answer I could come up with…
