who in their right mind makes a self test for ADHD and has a SINGLE QUESTION per page???? I barely finished it.

yes I am.......oh shiney!

"Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars, but we won't. We're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off."

Tyler Durden

so....I think I might have a slight sensitivity but nothing that can't be controlled by moderation....

after a week of a gluten free diet I had been feeling.....normal...ie no bloating or back ache. I had 3 slices of pizza on monday night and had a little bit of bloat....but was fine after a few hours.

tonight...gaming night....I had 4-6 slices (from 10 slice pizzas) and I feel very bloated...not full...but bloated like my guts have turned to concrete...or no...more like someone filled my guts with expanding foam spray.....and my back hurts. the back ache I think is related to the pressure in my guts as its my lower back.

wierd.

I think I should avoid pasta/bread overloads.

whaddya think?

I stumbledupon this and thought others might find it useful

so after theresat posted her rant about a restaurant trying to kill her by including bread crumbs in her dinner...I realized I had no idea really what gluten was so I looked it up and what issues people had...which include gas/bloating/fatigue and aches and pains.....I thought how is that different than any other day??? then...low-and-behold a little light went off in my brain...perhaps I had issues with gluten?!

so I spent the weekend trying to avoid gluteney things and today I felt good...back didn't hurt, no bloating etc...so as a experiment I ate a wrap w/ a flour tortilla....and within an hour (maybe less) of eating it...I had the same old bloated gurgley feeling.

Now my question is...from what people know...is this likely? or is it all in my head...I have never tended to be a hypochondriac...but there are a few coincidences.

whaddya think? i guess there is a simple blood test to see if you are.

so about a month ago the house roof started to leak...minor thing really...and only on the heaviest of rains. The roof at work also leaks pretty bad. We had a roofer come in looking for signs....he just received his commercial license so was very interested in quoting the roof here at allmark. He quoted on the commercial roof and it was HALF what everybody else wanted. I half jokingly said go look at my roof. He did, called and said its gonna be $X....I will start tomorrow morning. I was taken a bit aback at him STARTING the next day....he said yeah just get me a check for half and I will get it going. He was highly recommended by Dawn (my office manager) and other people whom she knew had work done by him. My father said he would let me borrow the money...and I could be the guinea pig to see if the guy did good work...hesitantly I said sure and sure enough...7am the next day I give him a check. By 930 i had no roof. by 4:30 I had a brand new roof with 30 year architectural shingles . I will also have all new soffettes (sp?) and all new seamlesss gutters. Holy crap. not something I really am able to spend money on...but he did give me a heck of a deal. I had gotten several quotes all of which this guy beat by $1000 without soffette work or gutters.

I have post more pictures....ironically the new ones are 10 years old...some almost to the day.  All I can say is...the last 10 years musta been AWFULLY hard on me as I look so freakin YOUNG....and have WAAAAAY more hair.

posted on craigslist....forgot size can get that info if anybody is intersted.  I am 5'10 and have short (30" inseam) legs. 

l would be willing to ship it.

its a good bike, but I can't really ride it comfortably as its to bendy overy.

not because we are glutons...or lazy...or many of the other reasons people come up with (well it is...but...)

we are fat because its MUCH MUCH MUCH cheaper to eat crap than it is to eat healthy.

The government can come up with all kinds of schemes to lighten us up (health programs, tax on sugared soda etc) , but until its cheaper to eat healthy then we are gonna be fat.

Example....
A cheap healthy lunch costs $5-9
Junk food lunch $1-6

if money were blood, I would have bled to death 10 times over. its very hard to maintain my normally optimistic "glass is half full" attitude when people take the glass away....there is no glass.

1. When your grass is longest is when your mower will not start
2. A weedwacker makes a perfectly fine substitute for a lawnmower
3. After 2.5 hours of using a weedwacker as lawnmower you can't feel your hands anymore
4. Gasoline is not as tasty as you might think it is
5. No matter how much you wash...getting the smell of gasoline out of your mustache isn't going to happen.
6. Gasoline makes a great bug repelltant
7. After 2+ hours of cutting down knee length grass...with a weedwacker...in shorts...you can forget about your legs ever not being green
8. Stripping down to your underwear on the front porch to shake as much of the grass pulp off your clothes will guarantee a parade of bikers to go by.
9. A weedwacker can and will fling pebbles and bark fast enough to embed them in your naked shins.
10. When you are hairy no matter how long you scrub, rinse, pick or comb you will never, ever, get ALL of the grass pulp off your body.

not one of the responses were really what I would do...the for instance...the millionaire one...there was no "buy lots of shit and thumb my nose at the man"

Your Word is "Fearless"

You see life as your one chance to experience everything, and you just go for it! You believe the biggest risk is being afraid and missing out on something amazing. Sometimes your fearlessness means you're daring. You enjoy risky activities. And sometimes your fearlessness means you're courageous. You're brave enough to do the right thing, even when it's scary.

having had to sit through many a americas next top model I found this fucking hilarious
