cjs ugh i get canker sores every time i get stressed :(

buy some vitamin b12. you can get 400 tablets for like $16 at cvs. alternately you can get a shot from your doctor that contains like 500,000% of your recommended daily intake or something. you can't overdose on it so just chug a dozen pills every week or two. worked 4 my canker sores

e: then again my canker sores might have partially been induced by vegetarian-related b12 deficiency so idk

holy poo poo

my sometimes vitamin b deficiency comes from alcoholism but vegetarianism was a close 2nd

drink you some oddwalla blueberry b

it just goes straight in without any of that nancing about that vitamin pills do

but chugging a dozen pills at once gives me the thrill of doing drugs without any of the negative effects

I've been tearing my hair out for the last week over which art school to attend, SFAI or CCA. Both are very appealing; SFAI offers more in terms of conceptual art and CCA more in terms of practical art.

Well, SFAI just called me and said they just finished their evaluation for their transfer student scholarships and that my portfolio was on the top of the list and that I've been awarded a $30,000 per year scholarship :stare:

well going to art school without a scholarship would be a disastrous decision, so congrats it sounds like you're going to SFAI!

i had a much smaller "visionary scholarship" previously, but yeah i'm getting out of this with much less debt than i'd expected at any point

I'm going to throw this quote in your face in two years when you're talking about your new luxury apartment with thick carpeting.

You like hardwood floors because there was a push over the past fifteen years to market them to people and sell laminate or whatever. Prior to that people without carpet were just too poor to buy it.

i like old creaky redwood floors, they are the best

i have 2 upses at home :smuggo:

actually that reminds me of a question i had for jello or anyone who knows things about circuit breakers

my ups has a little counter on it for the number of times it has switched to battery

i had it for six months and it got up to like 25 times so i thought i had really garbage power

then one day i came home to a popped breaker for no reason, but ever since resetting the breaker the ups hasn't switched to battery once

is that a thing that happens with circuit breakers, like was it a crummy or incomplete connection before and now since i reset it everything is actually fine?

Look at your electrical panel.

Does it say "Federal Pacific" or "Stab-Lok" anywhere on it?

cjs: someone stole my coworker's bag. he had it behind the counter, and while he was helping a customer with his back turned, the thief went behind the counter, grabbed the bag, then proceeded to go through it item by item on the counter before putting it all back in and heading out the door. we got him on video doing this.

the kicker: this was after he dropped off his computer for repair, so we had his name, phone number, email address, and signature on the work order

im permabanned poster redskinstomper58. i first started reading about the patriots when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of "the patriot way" and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like "tommy's balls" and "i love making GBS threads inside deflated footballs" in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on antipsychotics. i always wondered what the kind of "ironic" style of cheating the patriots were all about; i think it's the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who "get" the patriot way to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.
