The chart looks decent enough, but the volume sucks because it's on the OTC market. (Pinksheets). Haven't looked at the financials, though.

I resolve to double the number of screaming, squirting orgasms I'm giving to my bisexual nymphomaniacal girlfriend.

Hentaicat, a little over a year ago I was in your position only worse. I was dogshit to the girls of my high school. My self esteem was negligible, especially after one girl told me I was the sweetest guy she knew, and she'd be glad to date me if only I was better looking.

Then my darling Christine transferred to my high school, ended up in one of my classes...somehow we got to talking, discovered we had a lot in common, but having just come out of a nasty situation involving a lunatic girl with no hygiene stalking me, I was extremely hesitant to try striking up a relationship with Christine. She was sending flirty glances my way constantly, until finally I got up the balls to ask her out. We just recently celebrated our one-year anniversary.

And she's never acted on her bisexuality...yet!

Well, I hate to sound contradicting...
I never really came out and asked any of them, but I'm thinking I might be around that level in there eyes to.

My self esteem was negligible, especially after one girl told me I was the sweetest guy she knew, and she'd be glad to date me if only I was better looking.

I really would have taken that as a complement... For one, I already know I look bad (despite some very nice lies that some very nice people around here have said) but at least the "sweetest guy" would have said that there's SOMETHING good about me.

Anyways, I really do envy you... and I really do hope things keep on working out for you

HC..

Go to the thrift shop. Get a tux that fits, or is close to fitting. Get a top hat. Get an eye mask. Come with me to ANY anime convention in the COUNTRY and I will get you laid. Not only will I get you laid, but I will have girls CALLING YOU AT ALL HOURS wanting in your pants.

Trust me, for this is the power of tentacles and Tuxedo Mask cosplay.

I thought your pic looked pretty good HC.

I have made no attempt whatsoever to get girls. So I really can't say how I'd do...

Now all I need to do is start likeing anime (The non hentai kind)

Hmmm, After looking at my last post... I think I need to stay off the computer when I'm feeling depressed

also, watch 40 year old virgin, its a good example of how the importance of sex is inflated.

Ah, and I just saw the movie for the first time. It was very funny, but kind of depressing at times (The T.V. is in my room, so I was painting A Warhammer model as I was watching it... then it got to the part were HE was painting models and I could only think "Ahh fuck" )

To add to the Hiatus Diet of eat little and often, avoid fatty and spicy foods, avoid acidic foods, banninate coffee, drink alcohol sparingly, get an allergy test, don't eat too many cereals, cut down on fizzy drinks, drink a lot of water, don't eat too much dairy, buy shares in Gaviscon Advance and pray it doesn't get big enough for surgery or to cause Oesophagal Cancer.

Bummer

I take it you can't get H2 blockers like Zantac, Pepcid or Tagamet over the counter? Or proton pump inhibitors like Prilosec? Gaviscon has a shitload of sodium in it and doesn't protect your esophogus as much as one of the drugs that would actually cut down the acid production.

Granted, I have a hormone problem that's making my stomach acid really, really vile, but Prilosec is really the only thing that's worked for me. I did everything else and was still having so much stomach acid that I'd throw up if I slipped and did something silly like take my calcium tablets on an emtpy stomach. Omeprezole (Prilosec) is cheap these days, now that it's available as a generic here if it's prescribed. Since you guys have the NHS, drug costs shouldn't be an issue for you.

And yeah, I enrolled myself in the chronic pain clinic here. Which means I'll probably land in physical therapy again (hate hate hate). Neccessity, not a resolution. On the other hand, that also means I'll have access to the massage therapist and accupunturist, so the sessions with the Professionally Twisted (PT only means "Physical Therapy" on the forms) might not be so bad...

Linda's got a point. How attractive are you going to be moping around all the time? Maybe when you say these things about yourself, people believe you.

Squidflakes · Post by **Squidflakes** » Fri Jan 06, 2006 7:57 am

HC, I'm not really a huge anime fan, but I go anyway. Most cons have a HentaiFest at some point. (usually at midnight)

Once I was with Christine and she had my confidence up, girls were hitting on me constantly.

I take Gaviscon because a) it was recommended by my doctor and b) for a while it does work, but I don't take a lot of salt in my diet so it might be a good idea to check the others out. I'm guessing you can get them over the counter, I've seen Zantac before and I'm not fond of Gaviscon because it's like swallowing a cold, slimy slug

I think my stomach's particularly bad at the moment because we've just had the exercise in mass gluttony known as Christmas and it's recovering from the shock of so much rich food; normally I was just taking an aloe vera supplement marketed by Forever Living and that was all I needed, but the Gaviscon has needed to be used a few times this week to assist. I'm hoping that in the next week or so it'll only be needed for emergencies and go back on the shelf for a while.

Yes we do have the NHS but because I have a job I have to pay for ongoing medication. Surgery is another matter, but so are Waiting Lists - we have a lot of sick people here.

Sorry to hijack the thread, guys. Carry on...

ACen certainly does. However, up until a few years ago, they had problems with drunks coming in and generally making a ruckus. (Granted, they were usually the most fun to listen to, at least for the first hour, but the other problems that come with them do outweigh that.) They solved that problem, quite easily.

The first two hours is all yaoi.

Resolutions

Work harder in school, get better grades
corrolary - stop procrastinating
eat healthier
exercise more
keep in better touch with IRL friends
keep in better touch with net friends
oh, and can't forget
sexually pleasure self

Ok. Now. HentaiCat. You're hot. You're interesting. You're funny. So get your ass optimistic because you are girl worthy material. Ok, maybe it's not the best to go skirt chasing unless you're just after some ass. But if you want a relationship, ass included, you can do it!!! we know you can. all it takes is some guts, a sharp wit, and some common sense.

Same goes for you swordsman! but you don't seem as depressed about it...

jackalope & Chaszmyr: You guys have just heartburn or acid refux or what? I was just diagnosed with reflux/gerd a few months ago (though it's evident now I've had it for years, it just hasn't gotten seriously bad until now). I was at the point where if I ate, it hurt, if I didn't eat, it hurt, it just hurt. I used to drink Mylanta straight from the bottle. I've been on Prevacid but it really isn't working too well. I'm begining to think the only really option is to just stop eating period. I've already had to give up everything I love anyway. :\

As for my resolutions:

1) Get healthier. Hopefully I'll be in less pain this time next year.
2) Spend more time with my friends and doing fun stuff and less time over-working and stressing.
3) Get both of my websites up and running the way i want them to and keep them upated regularly.
4) Take a class. Just one. In anything. Though I'm thinking introduction to accounting maybe. (I miss school)
5) Start actively writing again.

Bloody Firefox. Ok, that's not fair, I was the one that closed the tab with my reply, not it. Anyhoo.

To HC, I'd say not to worry about it, all will come in due time. But I don't know how much that will help.

The acquiring of sex has never been that big a priority for me; if it weren't for the fact that I find the whole subject fascinating I'd call myself asexual. Sometimes I wonder if my exposure to (self-saught!) pornography in my late-preteens might have warped me, like "they" said it would. Let's just say, I know that sex doesn't have to involve power games (BD/DS/SM), and many would rather that it didn't, but...

On the one hand, I think it'd be best to find a dom(me) to apprentice to, but then I have the voice in my head saying "you only want this because you're a bad person who wants to hurt people." I say, "No I don't," it says "Yes you do," I say, "There are others who like to be on the bottom," it says, "What if you find someone who you think is, and you engage in such activities, and it turns out that they aren't?" I'm scared to death of actually hurting someone; to the point where I think I understand what some cutters might feel... "I'd rather hurt myself for sure than risk hurting someone else."

I might even have some switch in me, from certain fantasies when I was five (yes, five... maybe it was four.), but then there's a voice that says, "You always have to be dominant because it's..." Ok, I'm not finishing that one quite yet.

Bloody hell, let the comisserating commence.

How does apprenticing work?

I'm begining to think the only really option is to just stop eating period. I've already had to give up everything I love anyway. :

In my case, it's a combination of having taken just about every anti-inflammitory on the market over the last 10 years plus my parathyroid hormone levels are through the roof, which will cause a lot of stomach acid as well. It was to the point that I was throwing up everything I tried to eat (not the recommended method of losing weight). That's when they put me on a double-dose of Prilosec until everything calmed down. And Zantac at night, and the bland, bland diet.

For a while, I was living on a soy drink that's similar to Ensure because it was the only thing I didn't thow up. Then rice, corn mush, beans, crackers. Essentially carbs, carbs and carbs, which was its own problem. Things have now healed enough that I take the normal dose of Prilosec in the morning and Zantac at night and don't need Rolaids or Mylanta or such anymore. I can even take my anti-inflammitory once a day most days now, though I have to be careful about that. There's only one left that I can take anymore.

But yeah, vanilla soy milk and crackers was how I lived for a while. Mmmn, and Cup'O'Noodles soup, even though that stuff is horrible for you. Salted pasta or rice is a pretty common "cure" for morning sickness or chemo hell (been through both before). It just takes a while for all the holes burned in your esophogus and stomach lining to heal. If the Prevacid isn't working, tell your doctor. You may need a different dose or something added to it. But that much pain means there's still damage going on.
