The Official 2020 Everything But The Kitchen Sink Post

[BlueWidow]

I"ve bought 10 things on amazon alone in the past 4 weeks.... 10....
2 things from another place... omg...
but also went to get other things I just wanted on top... so let's just say 13+ things bought in the past 4 weeks alone.

most bought within the past week or so...

I don't buy quite as much on Amazon as I used to, but I do still buy quite a bit on there. They just make it so easy.
The worst is when you go on there when you're drunk and you buy a whole bunch of junk food or something because you're hungry. Or I've done the same thing with the food delivery services where I've ordered a bunch of food when I was drunk and had it delivered. Then you wake up the next day and you've got all this food. They should have a button on there that prevents you from ordering from them when you're drunk or high. But I suppose that's probably when they do a lot of their business. LOL!

OR a "are you feeling impulsive? click here to temporally ban yourself" rofl. I've been like an amazon member since 1998! They probably know what I want before I know it I've been there so long, even without their algorithms lol

I have no idea, but am on 8 different meds

Any new ones that correlate with vomiting? Might be worth looking at. Nurse/Doc/Pharmacy won't because it will mean loss of $.
I know that you are exhausted and stressed, but I also know that you excel at college type research.

 

[Lady Lazarus 2020]

no luck with the sleep meds yet lol.

@Lady Lazarus 2020 I'm in my late twenties. I have chronic fatigue syndrome, and it's relatively bad. My ex partner was the only reason I didn't kill myself already in the years prior. Recently, she left me suddenly and without much explanation.

so I'm going to CTB. I just don't see much of a point in going on without her. And all I have to look forward to is worsening health and an early death.

I'm sorry about your partner. Do you ever have to run into her or interact w her in any way? That makes shit a million times harder.

Here on the East coast in a rural area, we used to have no service and had to use our 4G. Now, there's one internet company here. My family still uses 4G though because they don't want to get the internet service.

4G is better. WiFi can go out

Well I started lithium a month and a half ago.

My first amazon order happened in 1992, when you actually had to email your order!

What? email an order?!? Granted I first discovered them in 98 probably because was out of college completely and had time to order things... but wow... email an order.... that's... so cool... odd now!, but cool!

@Squiddy, start with looking up lithium on Wikipedia and webmd.

I want it to load before the posters know what they want to post! heehee. But yeah, really the fastest speeds are normally only good if you have a lot of people. it's kind of recommended by places that if you have like 5-6 people you need 1gb internet given the computers, tablets, phones, streaming, etc done non-stop lol

That's who the commercials target for the gigabit speeds....... families, workplaces, and moderate-sized groups. For them, I understand.

This is fast enough for me:

I could imagine the massive screw-up if we still had to e-mail orders to Amazon.

while in multiple game, movie streaming, and youtube playing lol

but my speeds (upload) were as I needed it for streaming.

Not bad. Your upload speed kicks my upload speed's butt. But I don't need the upload speed as much.

I know, right? But they had everything (in books). In 1995, I cited amazon.com as bibliographic verification for a new title that a library customer wanted, and the Manager that oversaw 35 libraries phoned me and said, " what's this amazon?" The book you requested is not showing on the new CD rom of Books in Print (already 10 months out of date).
I explained it to her, and two weeks later, our new titles were arriving with amazon packing slips. Too funny!

I've been PISSing away panic since the 1980's.

!??!??!!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

So many old people

Yeah, before I started doing more in game and the video loaded a new video, my doloads were like 285 lol, but yeah, it's my "burst" speed.... they've "bursted" to like 500 before, but that's really rare.

Truthfully if I actually planned on being around beyond... well anything worthwhile I might care more of speeds or something as I'd have more pcs, but not now.

I'm in the same boat. If I planned on being here, I might adjust my speed upward. Right now, I have the 'default' package that new customers get as part of cable and phone. Internet speed is kind of immaterial at this point, given my circumstances.

I'm sorry about your partner. Do you ever have to run into her or interact w her in any way? That makes shit a million times harder.

thankfully no :) we have ended up in places close to each other without ever meeting. at least i think. I had to go to a hospital near where she works.

i think about her pretty much all day, every day. so there's that.

i was in a lot of relationships prior and finally "settled" with someone who made me feel so complete. It felt totally perfect to me. Don't know how to describe that transition..... a lot of other personal factors weighed in that just made it feel so heavy and intense. still now.

I'm sorry your past 5 years ahve been so tough. i can't imagine enduring all that you've lost, in succession. I hope you find this community can help you find the peace that you are searching for, one way or another.

Rural speeds are often even higher because there are fewer people sharing the tower.

True. I'm currently getting 2-3 bars out of 5

yeah there's a 3 year gap for the SS and drinking ;) lol

I so miss the getting carded... I just go with I look too confident, or just that driver's licenses look so distinct anymore, and I have mine visible, so it's not like I hide it lol.
