Not to make light of your situation, Matt (it does sound very annoying and very thoughtless of your ex), but when I first looked at this thread, I just sort of just scanned your post at the top of this page and saw: "ex" and "decided to friend me on facebook" for half a second I thought, "Oh, no... what did I do to him?"

Its no secret... I got the diabeties. And now I can't eat, basically.
I'm 6'4" and have a solid build. The metformin I'm taking can have a very certain... side effect, which it apparently does for me. Add to that I'm only allowed so much food... and dammit, I'm hungry.
I'll do everything I'm supposed to, I'll stay away from the hidden sugars, the fatty foods, the popcorn that made certain things in life bearable... but I could eat a honkin' big grilled steak with bell peppers and onions smothering it and a real glass of tea like nobody's business.
Add to that I've reached my forties and my eyesight is suddenly going to hell. My arms aren't long enough to hold the books far away enough for me to read, the glasses I bought to help are not that great and give me headaches, I can only read about thirty minutes before I have to quit....
This getting old crap is for the birds. It damn sure ain't for the weak.
Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!
Something pithy!

I have a couple of hereditary ticking time bombs in the midst of my carcass, too, Dude. Sorry I can't offer anything else but,

One of the main reasons that I avoid Facebook is out of dread that some ex might suddenly decide to Friend me-- and then get all huffy when I either ignored them or told them to go cram it.

This getting old crap is for the birds. It damn sure ain't for the weak. Yeah, it does suck reaching a certain age. I am lucky that because I have lost weight I am still able to do certain things now that I never could before. Even so, I hear you about the eyesight.

&@#*$%@ fireworks! I live on a pretty narrow city street and yet people are setting off fireworks right outside my house in the street. I hope the house does not catch fire.
Don't get me wrong. I love the big organized fireworks displays.

Cleome, I was trying to not gross everyone out but lets just say that what I can eat, doesn't hang around very long, and I ain't talking about a return trip. Doc warned me about it. Seems like if there's a side effect, I'm gonna be in line for it.
I spent this afternoon playing 18 holes of golf with my son with me and when I checked it earlier, I was at 240. So, I'm thinking the metformin might not do the job, but its still early on and I an not gonna be spending money all the time on Imodium.

Oy. Sorry to hear that. Well, if it doesn't work, I hope you can lean on the doc to keep searching until you find something that does work. mr_cleome is taking something that's probably in that same family of meds. They warned him about the same type of side effect, but he's not having any problems. OTOH, one of his buddies had to quit the same medication because he was having them. (Needing frequent bathroom breaks when you drive a bus for a living is naturally not a good thing.)

No, tisn't, lol. And I spend most of my day in a truck driving to timber tracts as well. Course', I'm out in the rural areas where there's a bathroom behind every tree. But then we get onto the Redbug subject again, lol. And trust me, they are bad enough on my legs....

I know Im probably being childish here. I'll get over it. Just wanted to let it out somewhere... Matt, I think I found the perfect song for that situation - "Are You F*cking Kidding Me? - Kate Miller-Heidke - lol

a friend, who I busted my arse for clearing out his storage unit and shipping things to in Austria, is being a real ungrateful, manipulative prick.
The childhood friend Exnihil never had.

I never want to go to work these days. What a shithole my company's turning into. 
Still "Lardy" to my friends!

I am trying to apply for a job I really, really want in the worst way. I have been staring at the application for an hour and for the life of me, can think of nothing to say. I have to hand it in tomorrow morning, because Saturday's the deadline and we're going out of town in the morning for a day-trip. I honestly don't know how to convincingly write on an app that I am golly-gee-whiz-teh-awesomest-splendidest-bestest-employee-EVAH-who-you'd-be-INSANE-to-not-hire!; Really, I've tried it 4,000,000,000,000 times in the last two years and it NEVER flies! At best, my current job, which is no great shakes even in the current pathetic-butt job market, won't last past next February. I need to get off my duff and WRITE SOMETHING IN THE SPACE!!11 And I can't.

Microsoft why did your new Windows Live software break your SMB authentication stack?
SAMBA team, why does your client not connect properly?
When will you release a patch?

It really stinks trying to write coherently while spaced out on anti-inflammatory meds. I'll be taking them for the rest of the week, thanks to the fact that I re-injured my left foot Thursday.
I'll be lucky if I can limp to work tomorrow and manage to not crash into a wall or a forklift in the first hour back. I already blew work off on Friday because I was in too much pain, but temps don't get paid sick days and now I'm gonna' have to soldier on.
Stupid traitorous mutant feet. I hate you.
Also, the Feds are trying to reel me in for jury duty again this Tuesday. Last time turned out to be a false alarm. They didn't want me, and I desperately hope they don't want me now. Sick days + jury duty does not = popularity with managers.
Gah.

I've been on the road so much for work that I'm feeling awfull lonely lately. I miss my wife and I really miss my baby. This was a lot easier before I was a father.
I'm almost through my heavy travel season...just a few more trips.
I make the best of it and enjoy, and I put on a front for my friends because I know people who have something real to complain about. But I miss my family.
Home late tonight and them back out on Sunday.
Almost there...
