kthxbi

So you work at a restaurant, I assume? I used to work as a server at one of the more popular ones here in Redding. Made pretty good money. I'm probably gonna go back there before the end of the year I guess every place has staffing and organizational issues. Some more than others.

I was going to, but then I started thinking about kids in Iraq and Nebraska who don't have maps, such as, Asian communities.

There certainly were other things bothering me, but I saw them all as things we could work through. This latest spat was not something I could tolerate. If I really saw that she was that way from the beginning I wouldn't've continued the relationship. It's just that I got through long stretches where I don't socialize irl much and then I go through stretches where I'm tearing it up from here to Destin.

I can comprehend distrusting strangers, but as far as I'm concerned, a friend of a friend(girl) is not a stranger in the dangerous sense, and I am totally dedicated to being able to freely associate with people who I consider to be friends.

She's met several of my closest friends, but there is a fairly large number of people who I consider to be my friends, and since I seldom have people over there are literally dozens of people who I call "friend" who's she's never met during our 10 month stint . I'm a sociable friendly sort of guy (even though I don't go out much) who works in an industry where I'm constantly meeting people. I have a lot of people coming into my life all the time. I love meeting new people. It's a key part of who I am. That's why I was able to turn away from her so suddenly. As soon as I saw that we had a fundamental disagreement over how one should approach life, I realized that I couldn't say with her any longer. I'm not going to wait around to see if she's going to change. Screw that.

Wow.

Thanks for getting me to write all that. I'm feeling better by the day.

Stupid douchebags...

I haven't read many journal entries in their entirety, having just spent WAY too long in an ER and then intensice care.

But the words "Alfredo Sauce" will attract me like crows to shiny things or Keith Richards to opiates. So yours I read.

Great story. Are you sure she didn't KNOW it was Alfredo sauce and decide to eat it anyway? I might have done just that

Looks like I won't get to come back as a cyberghost to post my final words in that Dying Words Thread just yet.

It would seem I'll be okay if I do what I'm supposed to. I'll likely be posting an entry in my journal when I feel more up to it, but for now, I'm copying and pasting, then maybe personalizing, the following:

Potassium has always passed through me leaving me at times dangerously hypokalemic (with low serum potassium levels) and I've always had to make sure I have extra potassium in my diet and have always been able to tell when it's dropping too much (I feel like I'm about to pass out and then my vision goes grey and I collapse. Something (we don't know what yet) caused a sudden swing in the opposite direction and the high potassium level caused a severe strain on my normally very healthy and strong heart.

I have a lot of orders to follow and will have to take potassium (K+) levels every day until I'm stable and do a cardiac stress test next week.

It's weird, though - I'm normally the one trying to convince my patients that too much potassium will kill them. So I'm well familiar with what I have to do. Now we have to figure out how this happened in order to prevent it from happening again. I'd ridden 15 miles on my bicycle that day, but that's not uncommon for me.

Thanks for asking!

So, apparently you came out to your Dad's ex before you came out to yourself? Probably just 'cause you don't taik all tough and assholish, she made the assumption people often do to guys that aren't jerks. Happens to lots of straight nice guys.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Wow, I'm pretty sure I would have yacked had I eaten a cup of alfredo sauce. Considering that it's mostly butter/margarine and heavy cream, you can bet she probably got about a week's worth of her daily value for cholesterol. Probably took a few months off her life too.

Happiness is a comped check.

I'm the worst procrastinator in history. So I can relate. And I suck at birthdays. Especially with family members.

I'll just say this: Criss Angel fans have really bad attitudes.

Oh, and my aura is blue. Just like the Dali Lama!

Genya sounds too much like Gina as in va-gina to me.

But hey, whatever tickles her pickle works for me.

...or something like that.


Also, true story, I totally slept in her bed.


it's true, ask her.

Hope you feel better.

Mmm. Peg Leg Pete's. Went there a few years back - had some kind of lobster dish, I think - not at all sure why were were there, but we somehow ended up in Pensacola while visiting my ex-father-in-law in Panama city Beach (kind of funny eating elsewhere while visiting him - he owns 5 restaurants in or around Panama City Beach - The Mariner's the best of his restaurants, though).

You were in Peg Leg's!? Were you at the bar or a table? Damnit. It's important that we SG peeps say hi in the outside world every so often. Feel free to ask for "the bald jew" next time you're there. Whoever you say it to would laugh their ass off.
