got surgery on my bones got a bad infection and had all the layers of skin kinda open up like the pages of a book after the cast came off, and then they kept me awake with no pain meds, put a puss bucket under my foot, and let me watch them pull the rods out. My mom said they asked if they could amputate and she said no.

yeah it's fine except for 2 six inch scars that are finally starting to fade. I probably should of gotten my other foot fixed too because it can't support my body weight unless i walk pigeon footed on it but ehhh. can't really do much about getting born with bad foot bones.

Sorry about that man. I have big scars on my chest from several surgeries as well. I've finally grown to like them a lot though :)

I was born in Orange and have lived in either Anaheim Hills, Villa Park, Orange, Orange Park Acres, Irvine and Anaheim my entire life. At least 1/2 of my family has been here since before it was a state and that half has a fairly major street named after them.

I've also eaten here, which is as far as any of you poors will ever get.*



California loving rules, but being from a loaded family in California is the best thing.

*They changed the entrance to around the corner recently so now it's just a room with the old elevator that goes nowhere, but they have a tour that will take you inside.

What the gently caress is this Russia?

It's casual as poo poo as far as fancy dining goes but unless you're wearing a collared shirt and dress jeans under that your rear end it out the door.

Also, fun fact about that place is if you leave you seat for more than 90 seconds your napkin gets refolded or replaced if it's soiled at all.

That's Blue Bayou which is next door, totally different place that accepts reservations and walk-up's from the common folk and doesn't require a membership with a $25k joining fee and 10k a year annual fee.

I do very high level BIM management for buildings/clients all over the US, but my companies office is located in newport beach. The inheritance is nice but right now it's paying for my wifes grad school at a private university in old town orange.

vvv nahh, we've been married 7 years and she actually almost left me when she found out about my families money. vvv

Aside from there being virtually no culture (LA has the best museums), it being conservative as hell and expensive as gently caress, there are a ton of amazing hiking and mt. bike trails, the best beaches in CA are in OC, Ducks & Angels games are fun, and while it's cool to hate on Disney it's actually chill as gently caress to hang out at/walk around/get decent food if you're a season pass holder and don't give a gently caress about getting your monies worth in a day.

It probably helps that I live between The Pond and Disneyland though.

Costa Mesa goon here. Lived in the OC for about 4 years now, I like it. It's less hectic than LA, but still close enough that you can go just about anywhere fun on weekends (LA and Long Beach adjacent, Vegas a 4 hour drive, one hour from Temecula wine country and hot springs, etc.). Or even just hang out on the pier in Huntington Beach, it's usually lively and not too pricey.

But yeah, rental and housing prices suck donkey balls. $1400 a month on a 600 square foot one-bedroom apartment. And it's not even luxury or new. Just expensive.

Not so sure about this word on the street that we're getting the Rams back though, can't we get a team that doesn't suck? Or one that does but at least owns it like the Raiders again?

There are like one or two transients who hang around but other than that my library is pretty clean. Yeah you can order beer but it'd probably be cheaper to go to a proper bar. Like I said, it's a cafe.

It's always fun when they seem fairly normal at first, like it's an older guy in business casual clothing with a briefcase and laptop bag.

Then you realize he's just talking into his hand (there's no phone). And that his socks appear to be drawn on with shoe polish.

Later his conversation with himself seems to go bad and he tries to get up to leave angrily, only he's spread out his belongings across three picnic tables, and can't figure out how to put them back, his belongings consisting of a tarp, a stack of legal documents that appear to have been stapled on every corner multiple times (forming a convenient brick of paper), a sweatshirt with fizzy kitties on it, a butter knife, several syringes, three dead mice, and most of a pigeon.

Also his belt is a bungee cord he can't unfasten, which seems central to winning his argument with "Kevin," a man who does not exist

california homeless are the best, they don't give a gently caress. the top three i saw there were
3) gandalf, who sat on various street corners around chico with a sign that said "homeless, deal w/ it, cash only, no food"
2) cat man, who had a shopping cart full of cats on leashes
1) fashionable mind control ray woman, who shaped her entire hair with thousands of meticulously-molded pieces of tin foil
