and my taste buds.the cauliflower was good though, wonder why the brocolli came out like rubber. Will probably put it in some water when i microwave it next time.

just not following the more effort part

might take 2 mins longer

why on earth would you ever use a microwave?

lucky you

also, had enough money to go clothes/shoe shopping for the first time in years, got some decents pants and shirts. Shoes though? Went through the entire mall, went to VANS,Aldos,macys,jc penny,kohls,footlocker,multiple hipster shoestores and nobody had any shoes above size 13. excluding FL since i was looking for more casual shoes rather than sneakers.

so where's the best place to buy shoes online?

All my shoe places are AU retailers.

How? everything is fucking ridiculously expensive here.

just not following the more effort part

yup

You have to stand up and be near it and get bored and turn it off and whatnot. Microwave? Press three buttons then back to the internet.

Oh god, not sports shoes.

No way.

But casual? yeah. It's too much of a PITA to find a international retailer that will ship to AU and is cheaper when you add in shipping.

That makes more sense.

That makes more sense.

Yeah, i know my shoe size in Nike and i haven't bought a pair of running shoes in AU in 3 or 4 years.

I buy too much stuff at wiggle, new Lunarglides for like $90 as opposed to $200

My wife hates Winston on FSU and the more they win with him, the more she gets mad and takes out her aggression on me.

My wife hates Winston on MSU and the more they win with him, the more she gets mad and takes out her aggression on me.

takes out her sexy agression?

My wife hates Winston on *FSU and the more they win with him, the more she gets mad and takes out her aggression on me.

takes out her sexy agression?

That's usually true, but lately, she's been doing a lot of out-of-character stuff when FSU is on TV. She anti-feminism but she's in solidarity with other women concerning their view of Winston. We were at a hat shop the other day and the female cashier chuckled at her calling him "Lameis Jameis," and said she was going to use that.

Next week, ppl will have to decide if they want to see ND in position for a playoff spot or not.

I have the second part of my Residency boards next week in Seattle. It's an oral exam (hurrr) meaning I'm lined up in front of a firing squad asking me to treat a theoretical patient from start to finish in a rapid fire question format.

I'm tired of standardized exams.

Anyone else have parents who are breathing down their necks for them to get married? I'm not even dating anyone right now.

smh

Good luck btw, h3ro. Boards suck.

Yes. My told me I am "old" (just turned 28...) because I am not married with kids by now. It's been a huge contention in my family for years now, to the point I don't tell anyone within my family circle that I am dating someone.

Reilo, are you drunk?

Did you just say you're dating someone within your family circle :lol: ?!

Listen, if you bring home a black woman...I'll bring in a white woman. Then our parents won't want us getting married and we can laugh at them.

Grammatical context you dummy LOl. No, not into that Georgia shit.

This is the worst.

I don't even know what that means.

well i lost my job last week and failed a drug test for a job that would have paid, at a minimum, $800/week because i smoked too much weed. i am also scared shitless of being an paramedic. as much as I want to help people, i'm incredibly terrified of being the first person on scene and the difference in their life. i also have no one to talk to about this shit because i'm not very close with my classmates and none of my friends would understand.

luckily, i probably have another chance at a job at a bank. only 20 hours, but 12/hr so i can get a 2nd job if need be. i'm done with weed, i'm done drinking after the royals get knocked out of the playoffs (at least heavily), and i gotta get my life in order and figure out what the fuck i'm gonna do to not fuck up with people's lives in my hands.

at least i beat diehard this week in fantasy football. i'm the better mormon.

Constantly. And kids.

My elder brother has a kid but he lives out of state so my parents never see them. And now they're retired, with no one living at home....?

My parents have been on my back about it for a while actually since I turned 30 mainly. I haven't seen anyone seriously in about 18 months. There were dalliances, but nothing more. When at work, those last 8 months were insane and i had no time to date full time. But i found a few girls that were just as busy :P And at uni, I've struck out :|

I'm sure thats a concern for every paramedic and add's to a huge part of the stress. Talk to your lecturer/teachers about it. I'm sure they can point you in the right direction and help you with it all, seriously, most will be glad you're thinking that much. They'll be able to help with that anxiety. It would be weird if it didn't freak you out.

Try showing the pressure-parents current demographic data. Everyone is getting married late these days because of higher education. It's the new normal.

I got the same thing from my mom, but I'm so glad I held off. Contrary to what the previous generation thought, dating actually gets so much better in your mid-30s, particularly for guys. You start getting that adult man presence. You know the good places to go. You have money and your own place. You've been through the relationship cycle enough times that you're not phased by the slings & arrows she tosses at you out of the gate. You know how to have good sex and how to express what you want.

If you're any fun and not weird, dating women in their early 20s in your 30s is actually easier than keeping older women happy, who tend to have higher standards - "why haven't you bought X, Y & Z yet? My girlfriend's husband did >:( " My current girlfriend is a woman I never could have pulled in my 20s.

Damn.. Another hurricane about to hit Hawaii.

that's actually a good idea, not sure why i didn't think about that before. I'm mostly worried about kids, man. we saw some pictures during our pediatric lecture that made me want to simultaneously kill someone/cry. there were kids that had been abused, kids that had been born with a nuchal cord, etc. the worst was talking about SIDS. i was seriously about to tear up that day. but i think most people are like that. the dude in front of me, swear to god, almost put dents in his desk he was gripping it so hard. another dude who is like 6'5" 280 was looking misty eyed just like me. it's kids man. that's who we want to save, and that's who it will be hardest to deal with when we can't. kids.

edit: a little anecdote our teacher told us yesterday when lecturing about trauma: he was taking care of a pediatric trauma victim who was doing fine. early stages of shock i think. compensating like normal. he turned his back for a piece of equipment, and when he turned back around, the kid was all of a sudden near death. it takes like 5 seconds tops for a child to stop compensating and die or start teetering on the edge. i'm so scared man. and i know you guys don't wanna hear this but all you guys from IRC have been great people to talk to and i would consider some of you friends (which might be weird for dudes i've only met on the internet, but who gives a shit).

"The new normal" statistically is crushing student debt and kids returning to live with their parents because of the poor economy/job market.

I guess that "everyone" in the italics doesn't include me. Went for the preemptive strike and got married at 21 before my senior year in college. 3 kids in four years. 10 year anniversary this coming May.

I couldn't see myself functioning properly in the single life.

eew.

Some ass clown wrote a article saying Americans becoming otakus more was a sign of the bad economy because the term rose in Japan due to the behavior of the long term under/unemployed. However, if you parse through that writers data you actually see how American in the ages between 35 -18 are in fact culturally similar to Japanese citizens. If you guys want the link I'll post it up..

Long story short the dream of having a nuclear family is dead for a lot of peopke, and things like marriage, kids, social security and a house with a white picket fence are going to be put on the back burner for even more. As young adults people continue to struggle to find good paying, long term jobs while taking on debt there's little chance it will end either. It's the new normal and like always it's up to people to adapt.

So, I've been dating this girl, things are going very well, we're having a great time, we click on many levels. She's enthusiastic about me, I can tell.

And out of nowhere, just as we leave a concert in which we had a great time, she takes out her phone, I notice that she has many people contacting her, and she goes "Yeah, are you jealous? I have a lot of guy friends, and they are very affectionate". Out of the blue, didn't ever show a sign of insecurity on my part, and if you know anything about my love life, I'm not the jealous type at all.

Sigh.

English is not her native language, so there's that too. She's been trying to say that the word she was looking for was more like caring.

We spent the night together anyway, but I still kinda feel shitty about it. I'll go through the motions, which is be more distant (she already tries to make amends today), but I'm disapointed that she would make such a bad mistake so early.

The older you get, why even bother? I don't think economics has to do with it so much as a change in tradition, and the fact that much of our social interaction is what we're doing right now--online.. I'd like to look at the article for the sake of the thesis, but Japan is a bad example because they are not even interested in sex! Fastest aging population in the world.

Kids been kicking our butts through our 20's. I can't imagine what it's like to raise kids in our 30's or 40's. Ef that.

nobodies perfect, and expecting them to be so isn't fair, to you, or to her.

I'm not saying it wouldn't be on my radar, but I think for the most you have to just ignore something inane like that and move on. Don't over dramatise everything.

You can relax, that isn't anything. Women say things like that all the time. It's just their way of trying to get more attention from you; they don't want to come right out and ask for your affection, so they say things like that to make you try harder. Take it as a weird kind of compliment. If she was really messing around with other dudes and you're not in an explicitly poly situation, she wouldn't say anything.

Glad I'm getting married tomorrow so I don't have to put up with those stupid mind games.

Gaby don't have time for affection. Hes the polar opposite of what movies will have you believe about Frenchmen.

Happy birthday to Absolute?

Dating sucks.

Giving a talk on climate change on October 30th at the University of Utah. It'll be archived online so maybe you guys will finally have a chance to hear every bit of my social awkwardness, lol. I'm doing the economics of climate change, the other members of my lobby are doing the science as one is a climate scientist and the other an astronomer.

Also, happy birthday, PI :D

I hope your wedding is awesome, Andrew :D :D

it's my birthday :3

Happy Birthday

Glad I'm getting married tomorrow so I don't have to put up with those stupid mind games.
