Happy birthday, friend. I hope your day will go swimmingly, and that you get to enjoy a sense of birthday peace with people you love.
 
My dog was put to sleep today. She's buried in our yard, since I can't bear not knowing where her body is. I don't want her to feel alone and confused. She's going to be with me on our family house forever. We are best friends, forever.
 
Man my house is going through some sort of nurgle plague right now. We got the flu 2 weeks ago and just got over it only for us to be ravaged by influenza A this week. It just sucks because my wife and I are losing an entire December with our Kids being sick for 2 weeks so far.
 
Flu update: Said fuck it we ball and got my ass ready for work but then spent an hour puking. Managed to get to work but kept feeling stomach pain, nausea, and a rapidly worsening throat. I feel like a major retard for having to leave an hour after showing up but I can barely even stand up straight or talk. Just fucking tired of being controlled by the damn flu.

I like having kids because I am constantly exposed to plague. I am literally unkillable until they move out.
 
Man they bring home so much those first few years. Ours all have the constitution of an ox, they sniffle briefly for an afternoon then recover and then both of us get whatever horror it is and are sick.
It definitely gets better once they’re past that age of just licking stuff.
One more day at work then holidays

Fighting off the bubonic plague builds character.

I still feel guilty four years after the fact for euthanizing my golden. I know it was time. Everyone said I did the right thing. I still feel like I betrayed her. She had no idea where we were going and what was going to happen. She didn't know. I still remember the little whimper, the last sound she made when the needle went in. There had to have been something else I could've done to give her a more peaceful natural death. I'm awful.

No you are not awful. Have you ever been in so much physical pain it is all you can think of?
It's not easy to lose a pet. It takes years to get over, and some people never get over it.
It's also known as disenfranchised grief. Because people don't think it is as valid as other types of mourning and grief.
I joined a pet loss chat and website that saved my sanity.
We did a memorial ceremony every Monday.
I met some wonderful people. Sadly they have now passed away too.
Hugs.

Not good. Finals are over but I'm stressing over my senior thesis. I've been scratching myself a lot this week...
What's the point in pretending I can even scratch the surface on the Iraq War when theres thousands out there more competant than me? What do I actually contribute other than yet another "unique perspective"? Academia sucks.
Indecision stress/panic is tiring me out to the point where I've barely done work on it, other than gathering (scarce) sources.
If anyone's interested I found an archive for Ron Paul's web column from 2001 though, so I guess that's something

Defending your thesis isn't about bring the best or most unique, its about selling yourself and defending your product.
 
I am slowly beginning to think that my dentist is deliberately screwing with my teeth to keep me as a customer.
"You're in for a filling today, yes?" I don't know, lady, I was summoned and I'm a good little girl, I do as I am told when it comes to subjects like dental health that requires schooling, I don't have an xray to see if my teeth are getting cavities. You tell me.
And if I haven't had a single issue with a "cavity", is it really an issue that needs fixing? Compared to the tooth that I ACTUALLY have an issue with. "Oh it's just sensitive, brush with this expensive toothpaste."
Front teeth have some damage from drinking acidic drinks? You can get a custom mouth guard so you don't grind your teeth.
Fuck that noise.

Give me some dank ass dentures instead, yeth pleathe.

eta - I burnt my rice porridge. Now I gotta wait for the entire portion to cool down so I can throw it out (I oversalted it, too) and hope my pot isn't damaged by the burn. I never learn that I can't continue pressure cooking something after the program is done, it has never, ever worked out for me and I've had my instantpot for two years..

My friend as an ex academic I can tell you that eve asking this question honestly pits you leagues ahead of most of your fellow ivory tower dwellers.
You don’t need to write the seminal work on it, you just need to provide something honest and solid and you can do that.
Scratching yourself like skin picking? Try to find a distraction mechanism, like a spinner ring or similar.
@Robert w'E'd Leef the key to office parties is to turn up, enthusiastically work your way through the room greeting everyone and telling them you’ll grab a drink with them later then leaving quietly when everyone’s two drinks in. Everyone saw you there, the forms have been obeyed, and in the morning you can enjoy the tales of rob from the lab shagging the records offie coordinator in the car outside before being punched by her husband on discovery, and you can smile and think thank goodness I left…

Your dentist absolutely is doing this. Dental hygiene is simple. I brush my teeth once a day with a Sonicare brush. I only floss if something feels stuck between my teeth. I have no plaque, never had a cavity, and no gross yellow staining either. I only go to a dentist if there's something obviously wrong. The last time I was there was years ago to get a new crown put on a tooth that I broke when I was a kid. It ended up requiring two visits because they had to special order a crown due to even the lightest shade they had in stock being too yellow to match the rest of my teeth.

There are toothpastes that help with sensitivity but they shouldn't be that much more expensive. At least here they're not over 1.5x normal toothpaste or so. (If I remember correctly)
The acidic drink stuff could be, but you shouldn't be drinking sodas in general, they are bad for you indeed.
The mouth guard thing, they have the exact same line here too! Hah! I never bought it.

I don't think I've had new cavities in 15-20 years. Pretty much since I was a retarded fat ass teenager eating too much sugary crap.

Btw, it sounds kind of weird to just go to the dentist because "you were summoned". I mean, go for some yearly plaque removal and checkups sure, but other than that, if you don't have any issue it's kind of weird to go for no reason. My regular place would call me sometimes if I hadn't gone in too long, but usually I'd say I'm busy and not schedule an appointment.
PS, you don't need xrays to see cavities. They're on the surface. Although it's hard to check your own teeth without mirrors and such, but any dentist should be able to identify them at a glance.

EDIT: I just remembered something very important:
