Haha, I'm sorry, my post was laced with sarcasm. Just meant as a joke to play off of buzzer!

They have sarcasm in South Dakota?!?!?!

No

We also are land-locked, sharks have no influence here!

No

I guess that explains why you're part of Canada.

I guess that explains why you're part of Canada.

And the only place to stay there is the Four Presidents Motel.

Does South Dakota have much in common with North Dakota? That is, the culture, the demographics, the political climate, etc.

I've travelled through ND and Minnesota a couple of times, and absolutely loved it. I'd move there in a heartbeat but my OH won't go. Maybe in the next life..

My friends who live in South Dakota make it sound like it's civilization compared to North Dakota, but for all I know both look the same to an outsider.

Good question; I've never stayed or been to N.D. much. I believe the political climate is mostly the same, though. Demographics are probably similar, too.

North Dakota vs South Dakota

ND is far richer.... oil in the western part of the state. The state of ND is the second largest producer of oil in the country after Texas. ND is more liberal than SD... SD is way more conservative. ND has Democratic representatives in Washington.

Eastern North Dakota has a huge benefit.... the large Canadian city of Winnipeg. Three quarters of a million Canadians head south, stay in Motels and Hotels in the two largest eastern cities.... Fargo and Grand Forks. The restaurants, stores and motels are filled with happy spending Winnipeggers. Go into a Target , Wal*Mart, ShopKo, Menard's, KMart or supermarket after a Canadian holiday weekend and the shelves are empty. Boom towns. Lowest unemployment in the country in ND.

South Dakota is also wealthy, very business friendly. Climate much more temperate than ND. Republicans dominate. There's Mount Rushmore and the Badlands.... beautiful!

That's the main differences I can think of.

Have any of you guys just had a really strong gut feeling telling you/warning you about doing something you were planning to do?

Not very often, but it happened less than two months ago. I was planning to go to Florida to visit with my three siblings (a brother, 2 sisters) over Christmas, but my brother had to go to Connecticut instead, so that was like "removing the engine" from the trip. Moreover, some southern stops that I had hoped to make, weren't working out at all either - one person had pneumonia, somebody else was dealing with a life-changing family event that would happen at almost exactly the same time I'd be there, somebody else was dealing with surgery recovery in the household, etc.

I'm very happy I didn't go now, because I think something was **keeping me from** making the trip. Maybe if I'd gone, a drunk driver was going to slam into me in Tennessee or something? It was as though I was being told "Don't even THINK of making that trip." (I think that I have successfully figured out how to reschedule it, but it's required a few 100-hour work weeks, which I'm not entirely done with yet. You guys haven't seen me in here much, have you?)

I worked with a woman who was really a strong believer in...well, it was a strange balancing act between God and the paranormal. She strongly believed that she had a guardian angel looking after her. Which is fine, I guess, but this angel spent a lot of time "telling" her stuff that didn't exactly seem of great import. And like most omnipotent beings and whatnot who want to tell us mortals things, the angel didn't send her e-mails or even come to her in dreams to say specific things. Instead, he communicated in some random code only this woman could figure out.

For instance, once she went to a supplier to buy a bunch of stuff for resale. The supplier had a new product that she found intriguing, but she wasn't really sold on it, so she declined to buy it. On the way back from the supplier, she was nearly in a car accident. (I don't recall the particulars.) Most "guardian angel fans" I know would simply say "My guardian angel was looking out for me today!" But my co-worker took this to mean her guardian angel wanted her to buy that new product. So she turned around and went back to the supplier, and bought a bunch of it.

No, I don't recall how it sold.

today looks like a good day BUT me and my body feel otherwise. i should be masturbating but i'm not going to do that right now. i'm hungry so i should be eating. i didn't do the 750 words thing yet but i'm about to. i have to take a shit right now but i'm going to hold onto my bowels for about 5 minutes. hopefully, all the shit that wants to get out of me isn't so far stuck up my ass where i have to push it out like how a woman in labor is trying to push a baby out. FUCK....

anyways, i'm tired and i've been of course still depressed. feel like being left alone and being in my own world. i've always been in my own world BUT i guess in certain instances where i'm alone and i really do have the chance to look around me, think about things then it really hits me. i'm alone. sure, i have friends, family, jub and etc BUT i feel alone. i also don't feel like extending my hand out to anybody as a means of talking. these are one of those periods where i just want to isolate myself and think. nobody. don't feel interested in sex either. might masturbate later BUT that's after i take a shit, do the 750 words thing, sleep for a little while then eat. well.... that's that.

I'm glad that you're still doing the 750 word thing, RJ. I think you will see some fringe benefits after a couple more weeks have passed. You might want to have a piece of scratch paper handy nearby, so you can jot down those sudden insights you will inevitably begin to have (For example, "look up 'used typewriters' on eBay

As far as the depression goes--how many weeks have you taken Zoloft? If you don't notice any difference by the 6th to the 8th week, they will have to try something else.

On a third note, I have a suggestion you might want to try when you get bound. I read on REDDIT that if you squat over the toilet (or, at least, put a bunch of books under your feet), you'll stretch the colon, and the process will go easier. I think it worth a try.

the thing about the 750 words is that it's more so of the time of day. today, i wasn't able to write it in the morning because i had to go to the group therapy thing. there was a whole lot that had to be said including this strange dream that happened last night which involved one of my friends that i haven't seen in about two years and some couple chasing me on some "we're going to kill you" mess. i guess it's working because some of the thoughts that have been bothering me as of late such as being depressed and feeling alone came out in my writing. it scares me some of the things that are being written though.

i started taking zoloft on the 20th of january. i think it's been 6 weeks since i've been on zoloft. notice that it's wearing off a bit where the ocd symptoms are kind of coming back and i'm fighting them. didn't realize that i've been taking it so long now.

i most definitely am going to try doing that from now on especially at what's been going on recently. guess there's not enough fiber or water in my diet because my bowels are coming out very hard. it hurts like hell. feels like my insides are dying.

 

[refujiunderground]

on a lighter note, WTF!! hilarious. @ "seagrams happy juice". that's a first.

 

[frankfrank]

actually jerking off to a guy's head and shoulders right now. there's nothing else to it. just imagining the rest of his body.

So nowadays you're using shampoo as lube?

The people were quite friendly. A complete stranger--a woman--sat down next to me in the Greyhound bus station in Fargo, and conversed with me for quite some time. You don't see that kind of naked friendliness anywhere else except in parts of the South.

North Dakota [Washurn, in the middle of the state] is the only place I've been, in all my travels, where I spontaneously got invited to a restaurant table with strangers. In this case, they were three farmers, and they were talking shop - about insurance, etc. We talked about other stuff and we were comfortable with each other, but nearly thirty years later I don't remember much about the conversation.

 

[refujiunderground]

.

might as well. if i do use head and shoulders though to jerk off with, i'm gonna use the one the cooling sensation one. i tried to shampoo my pubes like 5 years ago and it didn't feel bad. scared that the chemicals might fuck my dick up though if it goes into my peehole. that might burn.

 

[Axxess]

Eat more fiber.

Never thought I'd actually get to use that emoticon.

I went out a date with a guy and turns out he still living with his ex, which I find it odd. And furthermore, he used to sponsor this guy to stay in Australia which I think it's a kind gesture but the whole thing about living with your ex in the same house just repulse me. How can you possibly move on when your past still haunts you everyday?

On a side note : I am tired of being single.

 

[glasvegas]

What are the relative ages of your date and his ex, Vince?

What are their relative incomes?

Was the relationship uneven in power?

I don't know. My date is aged 26 and since he likes younger guys, I assume that guy would be similar in age. I have no clue at all about how they live together, whether they're still having sex or not, I just think it's a bit prude to ask. But he didn't want to bring me to his house because he said he needs to respect his ex, which I think it's reasonable but it could also meant that they're still together and about the talking to your partner about your financial status part, which kinda raise my suspicious because why he still refers his ex as a partner? Anyway, I'll be living in a city that it is 2 hours away from Sydney so I don't think we will venture into a more serious relationship as I hoped. He's a nice guy thou and my type. Shame that things didn't fall into places.

Sorry to hear about that, Vince. Though better to find out sooner rather than later, right? Before more emotion and commitment are invested. He was honest with you so it sounds like he's still a possible friend at the very least.
