ideally weed would be legalized like vegetables and plants are, where you can just fucking buy, sale and trade them as you please, but it'll never fucking happen since the government now sees how much money this can create for them.

My head is bloody, but unbowed.
my step-grandpa basically died. he's had leukemia (after having lymphoma a couple years ago), and last night he had a brain hemorrhage. on life support for the meantime, but they're taking him off tomorrow, and his chances of survival are very slim, and even if he does survive he'll most likely be unable to walk, talk, etc. I'm not overly emotional about it, but it does suck. haven't had a close family member die in 10 years (my paternal grandparents died within a week of each other in 06, albeit one was a suicide).
things like this serve as a good reminder to enjoy life, and the people in your life.

I have this too. Do you listen to earbuds loud? The less I do it, it tends to let up. That and I haven't been to a concert for a while helps too I think. Play your music out loud if you can kids, unless you like the thought of a phantom ringing in your ears.

I was worried about getting tinnitus for years, ever since I noticed that my hearing had gotten worse from listening to loud music. I eased up on listening as loudly a few years back and I think I got lucky because I don't have any real issues aside from slightly reduced hearing efficiency.

I haven't used earbuds in months, but now i'm afraid to even listen through regular speakers. This shit has been barely letting me get any sleep in the last few days. The ringing started after a hard night of partying, or maybe a shoulder/back workout i did that has my neck a little stiff till today, not sure but this shit is fuckin' hell.
Is yours persistent? I havent had silence for about a week now.
Condolences man. The torture is over for him now, may he truly rest in peace.
My Grandfather has been in the middle to late stages of Alzheimer's for the last few years, but my grandmothers passing last month completely wrecked him. He doesn't have much time left either. What's even sadder is my Grandmother was still full of life when she passed, but he's been long gone for a while now. Everyone just make sure to take care of yourselves as you grow older. Nothing is more important than your health.

Sorry to hear @Nephilim96 I agree with that statement TB. Health is important for sure and definitely something we take for granted.

Mine's intensity will come and go depending on how long I manage to avoid loud noises. Sometimes at work something will set it off too which is really lame. If it's not really bad I can kind of ignore it, which would describe right now, can't really hear it unless there's no other sound present. I have to sleep with a fan (or AC) on to combat it and let me sleep. I can still listen to music at a decent level, just can't go overboard and have to be super careful with earbuds/wear earplugs at shows.
Went to the dentist today for the second time this year, last time got a filling, this time got a broken tooth in the back of my mouth pulled. Haven't had a tooth pulled since I was a child. That was quite unpleasant.

My throat has been bothering me for the past few days and i think it has to do with the AC but it is way too hot to turn it off. So right now im sitting with a scarf around my neck, feeling dumb but less irritated.
also, i use to have nightmares about teeth being pulled out. probably an excuse to eat all the ice cream.

Fuuuuck, so i guess im in for the long haul hu? Yeah, ima try the fan trick today, or maybe put on some very soft music or something. I said fuck it and went to the ER since my primary/family doc couldn't get me in to see him this week and they said i have sinusitis(along with tension headaches) and gave me an antibiotic but didnt really say anything about ringing in my ear. They said maybe it will go away once the sinus infection clears up. It sound like a buzzing streetlamp. I have a newfound respect for anyone who suffers from tinnitus.
I got one of my back teeth pulled out a few months ago. Did you go with an implant or just said fuck it?

Lol, is the Heathen avatar a reference to the tinnitus? Anyway, it's pretty cool.

Yea, its pretty much what i've been looking like for the past few weeks. But that was also the avatar i used for a little while before the Gorguts harp.

I'm quite amazed that I don't have tinnitus yet. I go to loud concerts constantly, jam with bands in dimly lit basements with amps that are far too loud for the size of the room, and blast music through my headphones at quite loud volumes, but I never have any problems with ringing.

My insurance would have covered an implant but I just said fuck it since you can't see it at all unless you're looking directly into my mouth. I'm also trying to be a scumbag and horde the pain meds to take when I feel better and just drink liquor for a few days until it's done hurting.
