It isn't that bad.  It hardly hurt me at all when I had mine yanked.
They used these HUGE pliers to do it too.  That's after the chisel
loosens things up, of course.  But you get some nitrous beforehand, which
makes it worthwhile.  Plus, you can keep the bullet.

..


After the operation, They gave me a huge bottle of codeine to take home
in case the pain Got Too Bad.  Instead, I did without and saved the
codeine 'for later'.

It turns out that codeine is a lousy recreational drug for me.  All I
did is sit paralyzed and immobile for a few hours, trying to muster up
enough innitiative to get up and go to bed.  Yawn.  Not my idea of a
Fun Time.


I still have the damn things.  Does anyone know if 10-year-old codeine
is any good?

I see your problem, you are going to RIT :-)  Seriously, all the girls
on campus (yes all three) seemed to be attracted to only a small subset
of non-frat men (I counted about 4).  Hence I always took the 10 minute
road trip to U of R (you can also walk, ride your bike, or take a bus)
to seek socializing.  Of course we can get into the argument about if
not going out with anyone is better than  dateing the suicidal nursing student
from hell (actually U of R).

Shostakovich, Symphony No.8, 4th movement, requiem for the war dead.
Music to contemplate the wretchedness of your existance by.  If I want
to feel more wretched, that's what I put on.  Wallowing in it releases
the tension of not being able to rlease the frustration.  Sort of like a
depression extender or crying really hard until you've cried so much,
you don't want to do it anymore.  If you throw on some music to _really_
emphasize your blues, after a while, you won't be able to think about it
anymore.  Or maybe you'll fall asleep, exhausted.

I just decided to stumble into this group because I stumbled
onto the net last week and was enjoying talk.bizarre. Then I
noticed a not so silent conspiracy of theirs to try licker.store

So I thought I'd look around.

The people in this group do seem to have a common thread,
unlike t.b

But there is another step to go from the disposition that
comes from recognizing that life is pointless. The next step
is absolute insanity.  I am not joking here.  A genuine
psychotic halucination.  If you get that far in your spiritual
development you will not have heeded my warning (or is it goading)
It will be derived from meeting someone who has suffered more
than you can ever imagine.... not recognizing that this is
the case and so not recognizing that this person is in advanced
stages of psychosis.... the real Norman Bates stuff.
And this person will tell you their insanity is mysticism.

and you will fall in love because for the first time in 
your life someone has shown you an answer. You dont realize
insanity is the answer you are accepting. At first you
dont think you are even accepting it. You think you are 
loving a person who is sad yet beautiful, sad but making up
little imaginary things to help her get by.

In hindsight I'd say it had something to do with being
Catholic and being sexually abused by various family members 
while growning up. But I may never know. She is unreachable now.

If you love hard enough you find new pain, all the time trying to 
avoid it. and convinced your love is not selfish.

Sometimes, here in Oak Ridge, that is exactly what my life is like, except
that I don't stop working at 5 or on weekends.  I usually go from 9AM
to 7PM at The Knowledge Factory, and then often run jobs in the evening
while watching TV, and reading news, and having a beer or two.  And I usually
work Saturday and Sunday afternoons because there is nothing much to do here,
and I watch TV because my eyeballs are too pooped from staring at computer
screens all day to do that much recreational reading (which is made more
difficult because the indigenous population doesn't read at all, and there
are no good bookstores).....

Rip a sheet of paper into tiny bits.  Throw the scraps into the air,
yell "It's a party!", and watch them fall to the floor.  Pick the
pieces off the floor and put them in the trash can.

Repeat as necessary.  Make sure to use a new sheet of paper each time.

          2.  Fear - of people, fate, the presidential race,
              the centipedes in my basement

          3.  Love - for people that I will never see again.  Oops,
              that's alienation.

          4.  Numbness - from the pain of recalling just three
              simple emotions I experienced today...Aaaaaaahhh,
