Anything Goes 42

Weird shit going on for me. Only this forum appears to be white and the rest are in dark mode. Kind of blinding at 3 am.

I’ve been pretty sick for a couple days. Can’t sleep much. I guess I’m going to the hospital tomorrow. I’ve never had pains in my intestines like this.

Don't know how old you are but go checked out. Waiting in the ER for indigestion sucks. Rupturing your appendix sucks more.

Had severe stomach cramps Saturday, but only lasted about 12 hours. Woke up Sunday like nothing was ever wrong. Ruined my whole Saturday as it made me not want to move basically at all.

Had my appendix removed as a kid so knew it wasn’t that.

Just wondering if anybody's post text width suddenly shrunk/decreased. Those on a phone may not notice but I'm on a laptop. The post's width went from ~9" to ~4.5" (actual text size hasn't changed). Hoping this is a momentary glitch and will correct soon because half width stinks; lots of empty space.

Yes.

Don't know when it will be fixed, but a discussion about it is going on in the Mod forums, so the admins are definitely being made aware of it.

I have a pet peeve about posting on this board: If someone makes a point about a certain player, typically the follow up posts refer to said player as he or him. I find that I need to go back sometimes pages to discover which player that is being discussed. So, repeating the player's name rather than using the pronoun he or him would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Well thankfully it was not my appendix. My sedentary lifestyle, daily alcohol induced dehydration, posture (spend 8 hours on a barstool a day), being about 40lbs overweight and wearing my too-small belt like a tourniquet on my intestines caused me to be backed up in a severe way. Going to make some lifestyle changes.

Yeah it’s hard when you just don’t care anymore. I honestly feel like I just got beyond the lack of caring though, which is good.

I was planning on making some healthy changes and started taking action- putting some things in place to make it habitual starting in late may. Felt like I was finally ready to get back at the gym. And I had started eating healthier once for a week in very late may/early June. Even broke out the blender and started with my power greens/seeds/coconut milk/berries smoothies. Began to cook for myself at home some.

Then I let some external events I needed to attend influence me too much, and ended up on another bender that lasted 3 more days past the last event just going with the flow of my group of friends. I have to say no to them more often. It’s easy right now because I’m sick. Probably going to play the health card to them as long as I can. Build up some will power.

It’s hard for me I can’t tell if I’m egotistical and worried about my friends and girlfriend without me, or if they are just too needy. Even when I give a good reason not to go out and f*** around I feel like it turns into a confrontation. I don’t recall doing that to anyone. Not on my birthday or when my dog died or ever.

I'm no stranger to that either. It's hard sometimes having single friends while you're married and living downtown. There's always something to do, always a way to be drinking all day and night. Priorities fall out of sync with one another and I've found my single friends to be less understanding and accommodating to my priority shift.

I'm in my mid-30's and going back to college, trying to re-write a lot of bad habits of the last 10 years. It's often stressful and difficult balancing this lifestyle change with my current life but the juice is worth the squeeze and I wouldn't be happy with myself at all if I weren't at least trying.

Do what you need to do man. I saw an old picture of myself and all I could think of when looking at it was "Damn, at this time I was STILL doing this, this, and that...". I don't want that to be a recurring thing throughout the rest of my life and it won't be. Feels good to take control, as hard as the process can be sometimes. Good luck and stay focused.

Stay away from places and things you should and people you should stay away from will stay away from you all by themselves in my experience.

I understand where you are at. Nearly all men have to navigate this it seems and it takes a while to understand your value. As DHF said, reset your life, decide on how to make your health better and stick to it for at least 6 months if not your lifetime. If you have friends leading you down the wrong path I would not consider them friends if they are not supportive of things that are important to you.

I would not enter a relationship until you are in a good place. It is not fair to either of you, esp, her. Gdt yourself on the right track and have a healthier lifestyle before broaching that.

I still go through bouts of what you are going through but for a couple weeks at a time every once in a while. Depression is hard to manage sometimes but we work at it. i am 60 and have made it this far so I know you can do it. Right now I am getting out of one of those bouts after Wrigley passed. It will take a few months to get my mind right but memories of things creep in like things with him....things I did overseas in Marines. It doesn't get easier unfortunately but you can work through it with some patience and self help.

To be fair to my friends I actually have to say no more to them. I can’t blame them for trying because I’ve pretty much conditioned them into knowing I’ll be there if they press.

I feel you. My dog just passed too like 3-4 days after yours. He was 13 and cheasapeakes don’t usually live nearly that long but that didn’t make it much easier. Was outside with me running around that morning and by 4 pm it was pretty clear to me he was likely dying.

It is very very hard. they are our babies. If anything, know that we are here for you.

We were just crying looking at Wrigley's bed. we left everything the same for now. Eventually we will move on a few things but he was 6mo when we moved to Tucson. We see him everywhere here. I guess it hurts forever and in my mind......I would have it no other way as he gave us everything. Everything. I don't want to forget one moment and that makes me cry so be it. One day I hope my heart comes together again.

I suspect you are feeling the same?
