  1. Watched that whole fucking canoe video waiting for fuck face to fall in. Fuck
  2. What are the downsides of taking statins? As I said above, I was diagnosed with CAD and my LDL is 74 with no family history. My cardiologist put me on 5 mg of Lipitor, which is half of the lowest dose they make. She said people with CAD who have an LDL of over 70, they recommend being on it. She also told me to take 81 mg of aspirin a day.
  3. Well that's interesting, man
  4. My grandpa was the same way. Very active lifestyle, 6 foot 1 130 pounds, never ate fried foods, but also smoked cigarettes like you wouldn't believe. Had 1 heart attack every decade from his 40s all the way until he died at 63.
  5. My LDL is 74 and I was diagnosed with CAD yesterday. No symptoms and they found it incidentally on a chest CT scan. It was my 43rd birthday yesterday. So that was sweet. I've never had a sedentary lifestyle and exercise has always been a part of my life. Never been more than 30 pounds overweight and that was short lived. Also no heart disease at all in my family. So take that for what it's worth. Edit to say that I smoked cigarettes for most of my life and left high blood pressure untreated. So that's probably worth mentioning.
  6. There's a lot of beauty in this post.
  7. Can you fellas please point me to a place where I can browse more of this? I've spent the last 2 weeks going through this thread and now I'm left empty.
  8. Anxiety is very much elevated by drinking. Daily anxiety is when that circle gets dangerous because it becomes the chicken or the egg. You are ahead of the game, in that you have realized this.
  9. For me, it was not only a waste of time, but I also didn't accomplish anything for 20 years because of it. Started heavily in high school, already didn't enjoy school, so that amplified my dislike more and I barely graduated. There really wasn't anything I was interested in, so that exacerbated things more, and even though I had great friends, it was a lonely place to be for me. I grew up in an educated family and so did most of my friends. So when college came around, I had no interest in it, but that's just what you did. I went and drank for 3 years with my friends and didn't go to class and tended bar. Dropped out with no clue what to do. I got in my car with a suitcase and drove 1500 miles away until the road literally ended in The Keys. Worked there for a year and drank by myself. The next 20 years were me doing whatever for work, just to be able to buy booze. I ended up in Texas, for no reason at all, while all my friends went on to finish school and grad school. Started careers and families and all that normal path shit. Almost all my drinking was by myself. Almost everything I did was by myself. I convinced myself that I was just a lone wolf. Independent. Didn't need anybody else because I wasn't weak and I did shit on my own, so fuck you. I'm free. Fast forward 20 years. No friends, except the friends I grew up with, who are still great friends, but they're all over the country and have all the stuff that I now want, but feel like it's too late for me. I'm 42 without a pot to piss in. Sad thing is, I'm plenty bright, have good social skills, can carry myself well with the 1%ers and the local labor worker, all the same. People like being around me and now I realize that I am the same as everyone else. I need people around me, too. I fought that for too long and have finally realized it myself. So I'm basically trying to figure out life as a middle-aged man, with no real skills, at least on paper, and not even an undergrad degree. Add to that, I can't think of anything that really piques my interest, as far as work goes. It's daunting. But it's mine to own. I had every opportunity given to me and I fucked it up.
  10. So Dream/Killer is a pretty good documentary. I feel like I've run out of true crime docs or don't know where to find them.
  11. I really thought she was doing a parody at first.
  12. My withdrawal symptoms included constipation like I never imagined could be so painful. That was bad. Nothing helped. I even got the self enema kit at CVS. You don't really know yourself until you're in the bathroom, on all fours with your rear up in the air trying to reach back and around to stick a tube in your ass.
  13. Belt holes are an inch apart. If you didn't already know.
  14. Didn't he just die in a helicopter crash?
  15. Ah, the 'ol adjacent car going in reserve first time. We've all be there.
  16. They do make it difficult and inconvenient with home checks and references and that shit. I volunteered at an adoption house for dogs, and a lady I knew and vouched for wanted to adopt one I was fostering. She lived 5 hours away and I was going there anyway and could have taken the pooch to her. They made her drive over to get the dog in person. They had no problem calling me when they were in a jam to watch the dogs at my house, but not to vouch for someone else who I knew would provide a good home. They have their reasons, for sure, but I wish they could make it easier somehow.
  17. I dunno. I ate her pussy once and she didn't have a dick or anything. Ya know?
  18. My buddy let his wife do this to him. Somehow her parents found out about it and the whole family now calls him Michelle to emasculate him. His name is Andrew.
  19. I haven't. Have most people? I was duped once by the donkey show in Laredo, now I'm gun shy of animal shows.
  20. I really liked it. Maybe not award winning stuff, but I was hooked from the end of the first episode all the way through.
  21. Phoenix does a great job portraying an alcoholic in that movie. You can see and feel the panic when his bottle rolls away from him and he can't get it. Just stuck alone with no drink. It's been a while since I've seen it, but that's the part I can remember actually feeling his panic and pain.
