I had a calculator watch with multiple alarm tones and my teacher threatened to eat it if I kept setting alarms off. I wish I had been more of a smart arse and continued setting it off just to make him back down on his threat.

Shit you were lucky, we didn't even have IT class.
I remember yoyos, they came back every 5 years or so, I've still got 5 or 6 of them here. But Tamagochis came after my time at school.

In high school my IT teacher was morbidly obese (not exaggerating, walked with crutches and used an electric chair to get around the school) and so she couldn't get up and monitor what we did online. I'd just listen to music the whole time, but my friends were just non-stop browsing porn.

re: digimons, i remember we used to connect the digimons together and then run as far away from each other as possible before the battle ended. i have no idea why we did that, but we did. i was also the first person to get metalgreymon i think, everyone else kept getting devimon/darkmon as champion and i'm not sure you could get to metalgreymon from that.

Christ, I totally forgot about those things. They were huge when I was at primary school, year 5 or year 6. Fucking amazing. The poo one was the bane of my life - I got that thing 2 or 3 times!

i currently have no source of income or foodstamps or medical insurance
i can't get any of that back until after the government shutdown is over
i should go ahead and get all that taken care of the instant the government shutdown is over
but i know i won't, i'll get lazy and procrastinate, i know i will
but at the moment, i can't get my crazy-check back or get medicaid back or foodstamps back because the idiot-in-chief is being an idiot

A lot of my teachers were always up in my shit like they thought I had a bad home life or something. We moved a lot - 9 different schools - so I ate lunch alone and read constantly and shit with my headphones in. They'd always come over with this look of pity on their face interrupting me, asking random ass questions etc. In retrospect it was the nice thing to do, they probably thought I was lonely and or abused, but I always found it really irritating.
Point being - even as a non-delinquent child, you misinterpret "adults" as trying to cramp your style. Even if you have none.

So they’ve finally gotten back to me about my car after the crash I had just before Christmas. And the damage was much worse than I imagined! The car is a write off, which sucks. Now I have to hunt for a new one.

caught a bad cold, like an idiot i decided to still rip my bong. Cold got way worse. I started violently coughing and vomiting and started running out of breath, went to the ER and it turns out they said that i have a small hole in one of my lungs and there's air stuck between my lungs and chestbone(Pneumomediastinum), have some kind of emphysema/air in my neck(i'm guessing from the coughing and vomiting) and to add to that i had an asthma attack(never had asthma symptoms before). But the weird thing is initially he said my x-ray was good but he still wanted to keep me there and give me some steroid shots for the asthma(which i denied, which kind of ticked him off) but when i was walking out he came back and said "hey we found something on your x-ray .. looks like you might have damaged one of your lungs" and told me that i literally had a chance of dying if i left and that i would 100% be back there in a few hours when i got worse. I asked him "so where is the hole? Didnt you say my x-ray didnt show anything bad?" and he was like "oh its probably on the inside" or someshit. Well i called his bluff and i feel a little better today after finally getting a little sleep and being able to eat. And this is all pretty scary to me because i until about a year ago i rarely ever got sick, i could go years without catching a cold. Pretty sure it was just a bad cold and that faggot blew it our of proportion jsut because i didnt want to take the medicine he wanted to shoot me up with.
@EternalMetal does all this stuff basically spell out COPD? Is it the end of the line for me as far as smoking goes?

Jesus Christ that sounds fucked either way, a hole in the lung or a predatory doctor trying to rope you into extra costs.

Sometimes docs want to shoot you up with drugs just so you don't bitch that they didnt give you anything.

I've been smoking since i was a teen, so i might be a prime candidate, and like for the last year i've been having weird chest pains accompanied with bad coughs and the nastiest hugest pieces of phlegm you could possibly imagine. But yeah, im a little worried because ive never experienced something like this with the whole sob/trouble breathing thing. My breathing is much better today but i have this weird pain all over my chest back and neck area that i have never experienced before. have some suuuuuuper dank weed right now too so it's a damn shameNah, probably not. You probably should have taken the steroid, as it will reduce the inflammation and help your lungs to heal rather than develop something like walking pneumonia. Do you have a fever? Id be careful and lay off the bong or other smoking activities until things improve, but COPD is more of a long term thing that develops over years (your body literally uses a different biochemical mechanism to process oxygen). It would be really hard to diagnose you with something like emphysema when you have an acute chest cold, so I imagine that any chest x-ray + taking lung sounds would alarm someone who was somewhat dimwitted or paranoid. I would say wait and see, and if it doesnt get better (like the typical duration of a cold) go to the doc again and take the steroids. Doctors always err on the side of caution, and he probably told you that so he wouldn't be liable if you just dropped dead (pretty unlikely since you are still able to breath).
edit: saw you moved your whining and bitching to the appropriate thread. Too bad, you can quote from here
that cocksucker literally told me "hey man bad news, looks like you popped one of your lungs" like i fucking had a collapsed lung or something.
re: emphysema on my final results page(i'll send you a PM) it says "there is subcutaneous in the neck extending to involve the mediastinum". Im going to go get copies of my x-ray and have one of my friends whos a surgeon in Washington take a look at it and ask one of his pulmonary doc buddies to check it out also, then i think i'll have a more solid answer/opinion of what happened to me.

I've been VERY wary of medicine ever since my tinnitus kicked in(which i would literally trade one of my lungs for to go away). I dont take any pills or medications and would rather just let my body work it out itself instead of rolling the dice with my tinnitus. For example, i talked to him about tinnitus yesterday and how i dont even want to entertain the idea of taking anything that can be ototoxic and spiked my T and the guy ended up prescribing me levaquin. Smfh. Why the fuck would i take an antibiotic(especially one of the most well known ototoxic ones) when they dont even really know what was wrong with me and the guy iddnt even utter the words "infection" the whole time i was there? "oh your airways are inflamed? here just destroy your gut and hearing with these godforsaken antibiotics" I swear i feel like most of these lower tier doctors do more harm than good.
edit: Btw no fever, highest i was yesterday was 37.2, which i guess is a little high, but he kept saying the whole "look its not a jail so its your decision but im jsut letting you know that you are going to end up back here and its going to be worse. I guaranteed it. Then we will have to stick a tube in your chest and throat etc" and he also told me a few times that there is a chance that i can die if i dont let them check me in(but that was after he came back with the "second opinion" of the x-ray.... literally in those words. hah!

I didn't see the above before I replied to your PM, so maybe something more serious is underlying. The doctor is just trying to put things in layman's terms. What the results suggest is that you are like pre-collapsed lung. Smoking could be a cause of this, but you said you had a chest cold? Maybe you just smoke too much, or cough a lot? Either way id throw that dank in the freezer and wait on it.
Unfortunately it might be dangerous not to take some sort of steroid for your lung issue. I don't know whether they are ototoxic or not, but they will also want to put you on an antibiotic that is ideal for lung issues (also don't know which one that would be) to avoid infection since the steroids will suppress the immune system. Ill be honest though; this type of medical issue is beyond what I know. Take my advice with a grain of salt.

I definitely have been a heavy everyday smokers for years. But in the last 2 years ive cut down big time and had times where i stopped smoking for a month or two(something i'd never done before). I've never been a cougher, i can annihilate gigantic bowls with a single hit and not cough once. But that changed this year because everytime i took those breaks and tried smoking again i would cough like crazy and start hocking out nasty ass loogies.
i feel that going down the whole steroid+antibiotic route will more than likely give me more problems, but maybe i'm just being paranoid. I fucking hate medicine and think that the body should be allowed to heal itself before taking that stuff. And it looks like that's whats happening with me right now. Before last year i had only been to an ER twice before ... once for a broken hand and once for a twisted ankle when i was a kid. Last year i was prescribed some antibiotics that i was weary to take because ive been healthy as fuck my whole life, and i ended up in the ER room after a being on it for a few days. So yeah, im just fucking paranoid of taking any of that synthetic poison if i dont need to. God i sound like a fucking hippie
