Stuff not worthy of its own thread

Submitted by Steve Levy Sucks on

I've suggested this a few times and haven't got much response, so - I guess I'll try it. The neg-bangs or pos-bangs will tell me if it was a good idea or not. Some of the other forums I visit on a daily basis have a thread like this, it helps get rid of the 'my dog has a leaky ass' threads.

Whenever someone post something that gets discussion and/or debate going, the mods can start a new thread so we can talk about it there. But typically, these threads are just a bunch of rambling (which most of the OT threads here are) that get a few responses before the subject dies.

I’m not suggesting that we use this thread for good OT threads that get very interesting and get lots of replies, like the ‘movie line’ threads etc. Just for basic, off the wall random observations, bitching, non-bitching, or for thoughts that, well, aren’t worthy of their own thread.

I’ll start

We were just talking about pipe design n excavation in a class, storm sewers and wastewater sewers are gravity powered, n drinking water is obviously powered by pressure. So your shit takes a nice downhill ride to the wastewater treatment plant.

EDIT: nevermind, my way may only be for a certain site, GoBluePissOnOSU's answer sounds better.

I hate Diabetes. I was diagnosed at age 14, (29 now) I recently was laid off and lost my healt insurance and these awesome drug companies want to charge upwords of 400 dollars for a months worth of insulin. How many unemployed people can afford that?
On top of that I made to much money last year to qualify for any aid.
So in short Fuck you diabetes, Fuck you drug companies.

My sister has it. She found some very restricted diet - not just gluten, but no starch of any kind, which includes all sugar, all fruit and some vegetables - but she can have certain kinds of dairy (like homemade yogurt - big hassle) and some kinds of cheeses. Essentially, she was eating only meat and green vegetables, yogurt and certain cheeses. Her cholesterol shot up to 400 because of all the red meat, but it helped the Crohn's.

edit - she wasn't diagnosed until she turned 40.

Weak indeed. My mom has the same thing, only she doesn't have as big a dietary restriction as that. But she takes like eight different kinds of pills to keep it under control, and stressful stuff causes flareups. I hope it's not hereditary. She didn't learn she had it until about ten years ago.

Luckily for me I have ony run into two things I cannot eat: bananas and pineapple. It's weird. I cannot gain weight and am about 15lbs underweight. Crohn's is pretty fucked up.

So as not to be using this as a piss and moan thread:

I FUCKING LOVE "Hint of Lime" Tostitos. Holy shit these are the best chips ever made. They even blow the lid off a Pringles can, which is hard to do because Pringles are incredible. There are 1,000 brands of chips in the world, many of which I like and 999 of which, like them or not, I have the willpower to resist when I see them. Lime Tostitos are the exception. I believe they would be the world's most perfect chip that could ever be created if they would make them in the dipping shape that they have for other Tostitos.

I know this is a real chick thing to say, but diet coke is the best thing to drink with pizza. I'm so certain of this, I don't even feel I have to elaborate.

So while I was in the Marines down in NC I would always fight with my freinds about it. I hate when people call it soda...its pop. Then my one buddy calls it coke when referring to any carbonated beverage.

How do they not sell Faygo Redpop nationally those poor saps down south have NEVER experienced its intoxicating taste. So after I got out I went to the store and what does Faygo do jack their prices up to equal Pepsi and Coke. WTF it always used to be like 88 cents for a 2 liter now its a $1.08. That may seem like a small difference but I drink alot of it.

I feel much better MGoTherapy!!!

But all things with bubbles in them are called Coke. I think it's a Biblical commandment. You can go to Taco Bell and order a Pepsi Coke if you want. On New Year's drink some champagne Coke. I personally like Diet Dr. Pepper Coke, but to each his own, to each his own.
