No. No I haven't. I'm out.

Tried probiotics?

Heartburn was never the issue.

Think lower.

So you don't need Google, the sodium bicarbonate changes stomach ph enough to help long recognized omeprazole work better.

PAUL: Thanks for the tips, I think they'll be helpful![/quote]For the love of your family don't do any of that. If heartburn is your problem in the 21st century you take zegrid or just a spoonful of baking soda on water with cheaper prilosec capsule. Tacos shit will kill you and smell worse. Also gaviscom liquid stops heartburn best.

I assumed that was a metaphor for something.

Literally nobody else is curious how Paul is posting if he can't use his hands?

Uhhhh. Well. Okay, in the interest of everyone getting along for once in the history of this horrible place, yes! Excellent analogy!

To sum up:

PAUL: Thanks for the tips, I think they'll be helpful!

AARDVARK: You really said it there, buddy!

EVERYONE: It's okay, I don't even mind not having super-spicy food!

Thanks! This is now the most UPLIFTING thread on the board, not the most depressing, and you all helped make that happen!

So it's like having your toes fall off for whatever reason but your shoes fit better now.

Well, you make some good points. Thanks for the suggestions!

However, lately I have given up nearly all of the pleasures I once filled my time with -- alcohol, greasy yummy food, extreme hot sauce, among other things -- and the truth of what Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj says here has become directly known to me:

[i]"Q: What is the difference between happiness and pleasure?

M: Pleasure depends on things, happiness does not."[/i]

To wit, having very little pleasure on a day to day basis, I do find myself happier than almost ever before.

Therefore, I must admit that the premise of this thread is a lie. It's not the most depressing thing ever.

(Though I find, as with all of the aforementioned pleasures, I do miss it from time to time.)

Medium wings. With a Diet Coke.

Maybe Paul is right. Time to get this over with.[/quote]I hope you mean "to get professional help."

You do realize my recommending you kill yourself was just busting your balls?

If what you love to experience in life has become unpleasant you should go to a doctor: possibly an ear-nose-throat specialist and see if you can do or take something for it.

I was having terrible pains in my right leg such that I was in agony trying to get out to liie down. Pain of unimaginable excruciation, that makes you scream at the top of your lungs. Pain that exploded bad enough that I would have to try and wait for it to get [i]worse[/i] in order that it would "pop" four or five seconds of level 10 agony, then it stops for a short time, long enough to get out of the chair and lie down.

I went to the doctor and asked for a recommendation for something to relieve the pain, "before I need something like calcium cyanide." He laughed and recommended glucosamine chondroitin. I bought some at Target, within a week it all stopped. It has not come back in the last year or so I've been taking them.

If one of the few things that bring you pleasure is being denied to you and you don't bother to get medical attention and maybe something simple to fix it, then clearly you deserve to suffer since you're too stupid to fix a problem making it impossible for you to enjoy your one precious irreplaceable lifetime that you have the capacity to change. This isn't bone cancer.

Hello Mr. Pot, and welcome to Kettletown.


[quote="Ice Cream Jonsey"]...How about you kill yourself for being so bad about getting a third Annoyotron game out instead? That's the kind of suicide that I can get behind.[/quote][/quote]

Right. Paul? Anything to say for yourself on this one?

[quote="Ice Cream Jonsey"]Ouch. That crosses a line. Doesn't it? I mean, we don't all tell you to kill yourself, Paul.

[quote="Tdarcos"]Look, I don't think you have announced what was the most depressing thing.[/quote]

Oh, sorry. The entire thread is about the fact I can't eat very spicy food anymore, which was my one remaining pleasure.

This was stated clearly in the first post, but I forgot about your... you know, "condition".

Man. It's just painful to see, is all. You guys were friends once. And now, this.... this.... this strife.

Isn't that enough? Why do you seek to push me down even further?[/quote]
So reported from the man who has no trouble kicking people when they're down.

Look, I don't think you have announced what was the most depressing thing. But if I am correct and it is you, maybe I was trying to give you the kick [i]out of it[/i] and bring yourself back. And if you can't do it, get help, as in, "I am going to see a professional, I am not going to let that fat assed son-of-a-bitch prolix cripple get me down, I'm going to find out what's wrong and fix it." Maybe you just need to not eat some foods that trigger depression, or do eat some foods that improve wellbeing.

Or maybe you need prescriptions, minerals and vitamins. I take 6 prescriptions & etc. every day for heart failure, low thyroid, high blood pressure, arthritis and diabetes. I never felt better in my life. *** LINE COUNT 10

No, but I still remember all the nasty and cruel things he's said to me. Then he asks for the opportunity to try again, proceeds to insult me again, and wonders why I am unhappy with him. Did I cross a line? Maybe. But I still wonder why he has such a negative and depressed attitude, going back years to his vows to essentially drive this BBS out of existence by being as nasty as possible to everyone here in order to drive them away.

I mean, seriously, he's got a job, a car, a home and a wife I presume loves him. He has no announced disabilities and can travel as he chooses.

I'm a disabled man who can't walk, can't use his hands, lives in a room, and survives on Disability. And I'm (much) happier than he is. **** LINE COUNT 9 LINES.

Ouch. That crosses a line. Doesn't it? I mean, we don't all tell you to kill yourself, Paul.
