Guest Richard McBeef Report post Posted May 7, 2007 "Services..." shouldn't be pinned. As thread starter, I feel I can make that call. Threads like that one keep themselves pinned. Or they don't. And that's fine. Curry, how's the new Feist? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's isn't a bad thing, but, also like her first album, nothing here sticks. It's fine background music and little more than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And if you think this place is bad, check out the DVDVR message board. I've been in a grouchy mood lately (I've taken to giving up caffeine PLUS I've been having women troubles) so it's manifesting itself here. That said, none of those threads need to be pinned. Gene's thread served its purpose for awhile, but that's long since passed; the "smarkipedia" (ohmygod I actually typed it) thread is arguable, though I'm not the one to take up the pro- side. As Czech already said, any remaining thread, if popular enough, will remain near the top. Plus, I don't like how it ruins the front page's feng shui. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The college radio station here in Calgary plays a lot of her early stuff. She was quite the Lemmy-calibre vocalist back in the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Failed Bridge 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2007 I've had a headache for the past three days; I haven't had any caffeine in four. that's because your body is detoxing. Happened to me when I cut caffeine out of my diet. I get alot more energy through my sleep now and my body doesn't crash mid-day without a caffeine rush.

justsoyouknow 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2007 I've got a "dry socket" on one of my wisdom teeth, which in short means that the blood clot fell out and the bare jawbone was exposed, causing immense pain. The good news is I went back to the oral surgeon today and he put cool drugs directly into the hole left by the roots, then refilled my prescription for vicodin. Huzzah. And Matt, if you've gone this long without having caffeine, when you do have it again, it's going to make you feel all loopy. I cut all caffeine from my diet a while back, then had a Dr. Pepper like three weeks later and thought I was going to be sick. Not a pleasant time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Richard McBeef Report post Posted May 7, 2007 How much of that is the caffeine and how much is the high fructose corn syrup that makes you feel sick? I think I just have a high tolerance for caffeine at this point and don't give it much thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricMM 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2007 I cut caffeine out over lent. Its kind of nice not to NEED a fix of some sort every damn day. The headache sucked but it passes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Richard McBeef Report post Posted May 7, 2007 I suffer from debilitating headaches already, so I don't want to cause another one by going off the Diet Mountain Dew. I couldn't even watch a lot of the Super Bowl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I just have a high tolerance for caffeine at this point and don't give it much thought. It could just be the additives in it, because now a single cup of coffee will get me fucking wired for the entire day, whereas before I'd have to have a few sodas throughout the course of the day and still be tired and cranky.

Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2007 I'm long past the point where soda (which, in the long run, I plan on giving up entirely) has any effect on me other than satiating a fix. On the rare occasion I would drink something coffee-related, just to feel something, I'd have to get a minimum of three or four espresso shots added to it. That usually worked, which was why I rarely did it. No point in finding a new, even worse avenue for my addiction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

k thx 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2007 I kicked caffeine because it was fucking with my heart. I pretty much only drink water now. If I drink soda now, it's horribly acidic and overly sweet. On the rare ocasions I've had cola, it's left that horrible residue in my mouth. No way I could drink a 2 litre bottle now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Failed Bridge 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2007 Gentlemen... green tea is all you need. Piss lives off of that and tried getting me into it but I just don't care for tea. All I drink now is water and a small chocolate shake occasionaly I pretty much only drink water now. If I drink soda now, it's horribly acidic and overly sweet. On the rare ocasions I've had cola, it's left that horrible residue in my mouth. No way I could drink a 2 litre bottle now. Same here. I had some rootbeer a couple months back and it felt as though there was a layer of grime covering my teeth afterwards. I immediately brushed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sideburnious 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2007 I've pretty much stopped drinking soft drinks except for maybe once a week or mixing with booze. I live with people that drink about 3 bottles of coke a day and I don't know how they do it. I'll just stick with water and milk (seperatly, not together).

Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2007 If I have coffee in the morning, I feel my eyes bouncing around in my skull all day. And if I don't have a soda by 2 or 3, I generally get a nice-sized headache. I don't think I mind being addicted to diet soda, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
