Anyone do dream interpretation?

I just woke up making a noise like a bear getting a surprise body cavity search because of a nightmare.

Seemed like normal slice of life shit until I noticed an open sore on my lower leg that… bugs were crawling in and out of accompanied by an itching, crawling feeling inside my leg.

When I woke up, for a second I thought I still felt the crawling inside my leg

I think maggots and mosquito larvae do actually do that so you might want to keep an eye on that spot just in case.

Could also be a spider bite.

Words of advice: don't try and live off of black beans and pickles unless you really have to.

Got a box with a lot of cans of black beans in it from a food bank that operates once a month within "walking distance" of where I'm trapped. The walk there was slightly strenuous, the walk back with the box felt like I was dying. The box had pasta, oatmeal, and a lot of black beans. Can't really do much with the pasta and oatmeal, but opening cans is doable.
Then I got given a truly ridiculous prize while panhandling: a jar of pickles. Like a three gallon jar. Or more. It's fucking huge. The pickles are huge too. Can't wrap a hand around one.

The black beans and pickle diet has given me some truly nasty gas.
I can't stand to be in the presence of my own farts and whenever I take a shit it's like a chemical weapon has been used.

How can anything living produce a smell like this? Only my desperate need to not starve has prevented me from vomiting.

5 Overnight Oats Recipes for the hiking trail

Overnight oats are a great breakfast meal at home and out on the trail so that's why we have decided to share our five favourite overnight oats recipes for hiking. Overnight oats are full of calories and carbohydrates which are essential for a long day of hiking and are also really nutritious...

www.ahikersfriend.com

If you can get an empty jar, and some juice boxes or powered milk, you can use the oatmeal for camping overnight oats. Jar of peanut butter would be great (because you'd also get some peanut butter maybe).

Random thought: I want to start a rumor that taking one of the new weight-loss drugs will cause you to become possessed by the spirit of Eddie Murphy, but I'm not sure how to start it.

Anyone know a creepypasta writer who might be up for a laugh?

So…
While I was stealing some electricity from the grocery store I got a text on my shut down phone that has to be the worst tease ever. The phone company is going to forgive my debt as long as I pay my regular upcoming bill.

lol. I'm losing car insurance, car is immobile, and I'm only not starving due to beans and pickles I got for free that came with pestilential levels of gas.

But sure, I'll be able to do that. lol

Fuck my life

They're going to waive 255 and change and the bill is going to be around 140$ because they won't waive the reconnect fee too.

In other news my mustache is now large enough that I can grab it with my lips and my entire beard is combable.

It's really filling out and dry shaving has been able to prevent growing an unsightly neckbeard.

I have been getting dreams that there was a show that has a crossover of many popular cartoon characters. The highlight of the dream is that the villain of the week somehow is one stop away from succeeding in whatever they planned to do but then was thwarted by Pink Panther through its reality warping powers. And since the Pink Panther is silent, they communicate by painting any wall with whatever they want to say.

Its kind of weird.

Less of a drug trip and more of recalling an episode of said imaginary show. It still stuck to me that its Pink Panther that is the one I most remember considering I haven't thought of that character for years.

Although considering that I have been looking at DORO recently, maybe the pink color triggered some memory from me to think of Pink Panther.

I'm in Hell.

Other than the McDonald's and a dying strip mall the parking lot im trapped in has a grocery store.

I'm over here finding ways to try and beat the murderous heat and those motherfuckers are grilling ribs and other barbecue. Right in front of the store.

It smells so good

Meanwhile my penniless ass is surviving on this one can of black beans and one pickle a day.

I want that barbecue. I want it real bad.

It might hurt to try. Sometimes people have pretty extreme reactions to being directly asked for charity and I'm not sure I want to flip that coin.
America is the Land of the Fucked and the Home of the Karen, after all.

Got me some Jolly Rancher Sour popsicles. The kind with jokes on the stick.

If I have to suffer through them, so do you.

Recently, my computer has been running like crap. It's been heating up, running slow, and it takes forever to start up. And while this has been going on to some extent for a while, it occurred to me that the symptoms were noticeably exacerbated after downloading a game demo, so I started running a virus scan to make sure I hadn't picked up something hidden in the download. While waiting on the virus scan, I took a look at my computer's memory, and realized it only had 5GB left.

Now, to someone as old as I am, 5GB seems like a ridiculous amount of free space, but my computer had it marked in red, as if it was nearly out of space. So I decided to delete some steam games. And immediately, the issue is resolved and my computer is working normally again. Apparently, 5GB of free space is not enough for my computer to run properly.

Don't forget to run CCleaner or similar too, get rid of old junk.

Heads-up: Windows archives the downloaded packs of updates for everything from drivers and firmware to OS updates. There's a folder in the appropriate location where all that junk accumulates like the hibernation files.
Remove those two (FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT DO THIS ON YOUR OWN FIND A GUIDE) and you can free up uo to 50GB of space.

Few things as humiliating as dealing with sickness while trapped at a strip mall.
Been practically living at the grocery store in its toilet.
Over the past few weeks I've already lost what the Fremen call"water fat" due to the murderous sun so all this diarrhea has me on the edge of serious dehydration. Add in congestion, possible mild fever, and brutal coughing and we've got a summer cold that is kicking my filthy ass.
Finally used up all the beans and pickles, Im unsure if I'd rather starve than continue that diet. Get back to me when I can keep food down.
Beard is developing nicely, dry shaving is keeping neck clear and thes rest is filling in and growing pretty evenly

I don't use my toaster anymore, it just sits there, menacingly. Ever since I killed a fly and it fell into it. I just never used it again, even after cleaning it.

...Weird I just realised that.

I mean, just turn it on a few times and any potential nastiness get burninated to death and sanitized.

With enough time, you can upgrade the fly into an Immortal Crumb.

I'm pretty sure that the beard on the left side of my face is growing slightly faster than the right side. Is that normal?

Also, a friend I haven't spoken to in a decade got in touch. He's in town for a short while, long haul trucker who really hits those long hauls, he came out and looked at my car and bought me a Big Mac.
Battery is great, brand new and shit, dontcha know?
It's the starter.
He says his ex and kids are taking most of his spare cash or he'd buy me one. If I get one he's 100% sure he can install it though.

After he left I ended up blowing that Big Mac meal out both ends, but it was worth it because it was the best tasting meal I've had in awhile.

I used to trim my beard free-handed and it happened to me then, I was just cutting it slightly uneven. It could also just be a bit more hair growing in that spot, my beard grows slightly crooked on the bottom making it look fuller on my right side so I have to shave it weirdly.

I've yet to do any trimming other than making sure my mustache stays out of my mouth.

<shrug> I might be imagining it, even if I'm not it's not a huge unevenness as of yet so I'll let everything fill out more before any beard trimming.
