Ever have a piece of peppermint gum, then immediately after you spit it out take a sip of dark coffee?

It tastes like cigarettes.

It tastes like cigarettes.

when you eat chocolate and then take a sip of coke, it's absolutely tasteless

Yeah. if you want reliability you probably have to use ups, gls, dpd or other such services...

When you brush your teeth you get the same effect.

if you're out of sugar and you put blueberry pancake syrup in your coffee to sweeten it, it makes it taste like tea. tannins from the berries, i guess. but when i discovered this back in the 80s it shocked the fuck out of me, i'll tell you.

life is still sad and awful, i still am miserable and want my world put back together, the cats still don't know what to think. but i guess i'm "better." my psychiatrist gave me different medication, which seems to actually be helping with the depression a little. now i just have to see if the foreclosure is put off, and if Kim ever talks to me again. then maybe i'll know if i can ever move forward again. but now i only think about shooting myself a couple of times a day, instead of for an hour at a time regularly, so i reckon that's progress, right?

i'm really worried for my girlfriedn... we've been talking a lot about me moving to another city for college etc... it's still just two and a half hours by train back here and i intend to get here every weekend, but we're of course worried for our relationship.

I love her, really deeply love her. Laugh at me, be skeptical but i really mean it. and i don't want to lose her and i'll do whatever i can against it

anyway i'm resolved to try and fight... but she's really sad and depressed, she's been like that for past two days... shifting from laughing and making fun to crying... she was OK when i left home but now i spoke to her on the phone and she basically feels like she's already lost me and she's really frightened for us...

I'm doing what i can, i don't know what to say to her anymore

i'm leaving tomorrow

my parents are making me feel like shit because I'm still looking for a job, so now I'm gonna go smoke a cigarette so I don't have a terrible panic attack and not be able to breathe

I can see how that might have the opposite response.

Dude, that really sucks, sorry to hear that. My wife and I were kind of like that at the start of our relationship, actually. I lived about an hour away from her, we were both going to separate colleges, etc. But to be honest, it probably helped us in the long run. That distance let us both see each other on the weekends, but we still had personal space when we needed it. It can definitely still work.

Give her some space for a little while, I've only been married about 3 months now, but I'll say this: sometimes, there is nothing you can say that will make her happy. Sometimes you just have to let her work through it. It'll be tough on you especially, because you'll want to fix it immediately, but give it a shot.

friday night sitting at home - lame. noone's in town.

smoking helps me calm down. i don't necessarily think its smoking that helps, but for right now, that's my solution

Axel: obviously, i'm not Mr. Successful Relationship Guy, but here's what i'd do: if both of you have Internet connections, get Skype and webcams. then you can see and talk to each other anytime. otherwise i'd talk to her every fucking day. contact with the ones i love is like oxygen to me...hell, i feel like i'm dying because i can't talk to the woman i love. that'll be true for the two of you, too. and i know i don't have to tell you to do this, but be honest and true; she'll be able to feel that somehow and know.

nicotine has been shown in clinical tests to help focus attention, and also to alleviate anxiety in patients with chronic depression. sadly, my crapped-out old lungs won't let me smoke any more. i've been needing a cigarette since 1999. well, honestly, i've had relapses...i started again after 9/11, after my Mom died, and when we bought the house in 2007, but my respiratory won't tolerate them for more than a few weeks before the chronic bronchitis starts up.
