i feel for you/her. it really is hell and there's next to nothing you can do about it. it's not the back pain i can't deal with, it's the pain that radiates into my leg. i just want to saw it off.

It's pretty fucking horrible. I've stayed up with her all night while she screams in pain and at times even been tempted to drive her to the ER. As I mentioned before, her only solution to her sciatica is to not do manual labor or hard psychical activity - which has resulted in her loosing a lot of the muscle definition that she worked years to build, gaining weight, suffering from even shittier health as well as having to quit her job (she worked in the catering business for eight or nine years)...it's been hell. Even her desk job now makes it act up.

So yeah, cheaper medicine might work sometimes, but not in all cases. It's not fair that she can't access drugs.

...that being said, I wish I had not sold that half bottle of pain killers I had on me a few years ago

Yeah, nationalism sucks. Found that out in the World Wars. However, you might want to consider the difference between anti-nationalism and nationalism contra a particular nation. The latter is what most will assume when you say anti-americanism.

And we in the US of A are quite eager to divide and exclude each other, like those fucking Texans.

You spelt the word "embarrassing" wrong.

knox 03.25.2010 05:38 PM

but you know how it goes, when a non american says something, anything, the immediate response is being labeled anti-american, so we might as well just play the part. God knows you guys can be sensitive.

Keeping It Simple 03.25.2010 05:44 PM

I love America and Americans. That's why I'm on this board. If it wasn't for the Americans, we'd all be speaking either German or Russian. Thank you, America.

Glice 03.25.2010 06:43 PM

I've never met a German or a Russian I didn't like. I've met a few Austrians who attempted to confound my theory though.

Satan 03.25.2010 11:07 PM

god, this thread. i apologize. i was high.

GeneticKiss 03.26.2010 02:30 AM

Are you kidding? This is the most entertaining thing I've read all day!

By the way, what happened to (s)way's posts? Kinda weird seeing people respond to something that's not there except as a quote...

He disappeared after some sort of fiasco.

I don't remember exactly how or why it all went down, but from what I recall sway wanted his account deleted, then more than a few started threads about him and taunted him for a few weeks. I enjoyed his posts.

luckily the teabaggers are not all of "america" (the country, not the continent).

there's a lot of good shit going on here although i admit it's harder to find every year.

anyway, don't you have any protestants to kill? or is it catholics?

pbradley 03.26.2010 06:14 PM

I've been a little involved with the local counter-reactionary Coffee Party thing, recently.
