I think I may have hidden it but I can't remember where. Then again my wife might know where it is. She's has like a tracking beacon for everything I misplace.

You probably scratched your cornea which will bother you for a couple days. It will feel like something is in there but there's not. If it bothers you that bad your doc can write you a rx for some eye drops which will speed up the process a little bit.

I sleep in my contacts WAY too much and a few years ago the way I was sleeping on my side, I guess my eye was sort of slanted and open a little bit causing the contact to dry out and when I woke up it was killing me. I took it out asap but it still felt like there was a grain of sand in there and when the light hit it, it felt like a million tiny needles were stabbing it and it wouldn't stop running. I went to the eye doc and they said I had a corneal ulcer which is basically a small cut like on the top of my eyeball. They gave me this sort of eye patch thing for the light sensitivity, some eye drops, and just told me to keep a warm compress on it as much as I could. No lie, it took close to 2 weeks until it was finally better but whenever I go to get my eyes checked they say they can still see the scar.

Interestingly enough though, after ~20 years of having the same vision- -5.00 in my left eye and -4.00 in my right one- my eyesight somehow improved by .50 in my left and .25 in my right this past year.

It feels much better this morning. I'll put my contacts in again today. And having your vision improve as you age is common, according to my eye doctor. On the downside, you probably have reading glasses in your future.

Worst it's been for me since I was about 10.

Its killing me. I never even needed allergy medicine before this year.

When I was a kid I used to take this stuff called A.R.M. (Allergy Relief Medicine) that seemed to help except it doesn't exist anymore and I have no idea what was in it.

I used to wake up with my eyes glued shut with gunk and have to wander blind to the bathroom to splash warm water in my face until it softened enough to open my eyes. Now I don't have that problem but I go to work every day with my eyes looking like I just came off a bender and recently I have either a bad respiratory allergy problem or a cold, who knows.

Vox and I were talking taking Tavist as kids. I looked it up, and it was discontinued because it caused brain hemorrages....

Me too. I've taken Zyrtec the last couple of days which has taken the edge off but forget wearing my contact lenses. Hopefully the rain rinsed away most of the pollen.

There's an app for that

iPhone-wielding Taliban beating Australian forces in Afghanistan... wonder if Apple will use this in upcoming ads?

Paesano's roast pork was one of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten, till I just had their Paesano, which was probably the best sandwich I've ever eaten. Ridiculously good.

I think the hamburger I make at home is better than 95% of the burgers available in restaurants.

My wife found it in a pair of jeans I didn't even wear in the laundry basket. I have no idea how they got there- absolutely none. I don't change my jeans unless I piss myself or they become so dirty and smelly that I have no other choice.

Oh and I forget who mentioned Old Navy jeans a while back but their sizing is so fucked up. I got the same exact kind- carpenter loose fit- in 3 different colors- 1 pair was too big, one was too small, and the other fit but in all three cases they were obviously plumber crack/low cut jeans despite being labeled as regular/loose fit no matter how much I tightened my belt they were definitely designed to sit like an inch above your pubes. I still have a couple pairs of their carpenter loose fits from last year that fit absolutely perfect. And I also noticed these "new" jeans, if you even get one ash on them, you're getting a burn hole. But for $18 a pair I guess you get what you pay for. They are pretty much throwaways.

I just woke up from a three-hour nap on my uncle's couch and my three little cousins are still playing. I want to go home and go to bed. S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y! Night!

Hypothetically speaking what can happen to you if you accidentally eat a small (like from your top pinkie knuckle up) piece of those copper dish scrubbing things?

by **Phight On!** » Sat Apr 17, 2010 23:14:03

By the way, if you are a man and wear low cut jeans come forth and admit it so I can make fun of you.

Hypothetically that's probably not good. I doubt there'd be a toxicity problem because you'd pass it through before you could absorb enough to be dangerous but that could play havoc on your innards on the way.

Hypothetically how would someone ingest such a thing?

by **Phight On!** » Sun Apr 18, 2010 00:50:22

Well, if... ... let's say you run out of screens for your favorite bowl but still want to smoke your tobacco with it and hypothetically speaking have the knowledge that people who smoke crack use it in their stems as screens but you never have actually attempted to make such a screen, perhaps you make it a little too small and you... well... ah fuck it I'm gonna let PIP go crazy with this HIT IT, PULL IT, SUCK IT JUST A LITTLE TOO HARD when it's INCREDIBLY HOT and IT GETS STUCK IN YOUR THROAT until you can get a drink and SWALLOW IT because you can't cough it up.

I imagine it could conceivably give you a terrible sore throat and still taste it a little bit every once in a while.

by **phatj** » Sun Apr 18, 2010 01:09:34

Hypothetically, that sounds pretty nasty.

Naw. Don't have the heart considering what it'll be like when ya poop it out... hypothetically.

Though this last sentence is entendre thread worthy.

Personally speaking I will admit its happened many times when smoking my favorite natural plant without a screen but that's just mostly ash and it goes out by the time it reaches your mouth. Surely that has happened to every habitual smoker before at least once. Right?

But yeah I imagine that incredibly hot copper getting stuck in the back of your throat would be pretty nasty.

For future reference, its probably not a good idea to try and replicate the methods of crackheads.

Hypothetically speaking, what would happen if you took Immodium AD every day for the rest of your life?
