When Shagnasty says “honestly”, “believe me”, “I’m not making this up” or variants thereof… actually, I’ll forgo the drink, but a tip for future fabulating is that when people aren’t telling porkies, they don’t feel the constant need to assure everyone of the fact.
bzzt Drinking while taking benzos almost killed you. Guess who likes to self-medicate with alcohol?
Except your childhood was spent in squalid, below-below poverty level conditions where you had no choice but to be forced into group circle-jerks, penis measuring contests, and sexual assault. So… I guess not much has changed after all.

Reversed? Into what, ralopib? Saying your bipolar got reversed is like saying you turned the magnet around.
Did you mean the bipolar condition went away? You don’t lose a mental disorder. You spend the rest of your life getting it treated and learning to manage it. You don’t get a bipolar diagnosis reversed, not unless you paid off some mall therapist.
Could it be you’re exaggerating a tad bit for dramatic effect? Remember, stay as close to the truth as possible if you want your story to be plausible.
I’m going to preface my response here by saying that I’ve lurked here for a while & just the other day started an account. i don’t want to be seen here, in this thread, right now, as someone who has any opinions about anyone at this point, because i honestly don’t.
no one seemed to comment or respond to this invite from him. Maserschmidt, is this a weekend trip, in the name of research & putting some of this to rest, that you conceivably could do? shagnasty apparently has some disposable income that he spends constantly on women he invites out. you just got invited to visit him. I’d think between what he could offer & the others on this thread could chip in, you could witness things first hand for essentially no cash out of pocket. that research really seems like it would be in the spirit of what the straight dope is all about.
shagnasty, i must ask - since time seems to be what you’re lacking regarding spending time with the “bus load of Scandinavian whores waiting for you”* each day, why is it you spend so much time here? why spend anytime here? further, why do you care what these board members think & why take the time, time that you don’t have, to educate them about you with so many successful, real life relationships that need tending to?
*i borrowed that from a bill burr comedy bit. that does not represent my thoughts about a certain woman or women in general.
The poles were reversed?
Yep.
You mean, a few years ago as in 1996? Because that’s when the patent was filed. Surely if you have the educational background you claim to, you would be aware of how far back gaze fixation studies go.
How the fuck would getting treatment for a mental disorder “almost kill him?”
Take all your ‘treatment’ at once, washed down w/ tequila? Just a guess.
Pretty close to this. According to his own story, the docs gave him benzos for the bipolar disorder, and he kept drinking AMA. Mixing the two is pretty popular with folks who have bipolar disorder, partly due to the self-medicating tendencies but also because alcohol enhances the effect of benzos; however, it’s very contraindicated. Into the hospital he went. There was a prayer vigil in his town and everything.
Shamefully, you guessed right. However, I didn’t have bipolar disorder in the first place. The medications doctors were prescribing were the very ones that were driving me out of my mind and then landed me in ICU with a prediction of death within hours but that didn’t happen because I am stubborn and wouldn’t let that happen. I have better things to do.
Still, it is embarrassing to have your whole home town notified that they need to pray and have your mother have to cancel her dream trip of a lifetime to fly up and take care of me. It took months to recover but things are much better now. That is a scenario that I never want to repeat. I learned a lot from it but I am also very skeptical about doctors now and double check their decisions. They can injure or kill you easily if they make the wrong ones. My primary care doctor went out of his way to save my life after the specialists gave up and he is the one I trust and listen to.
I am fully aware that I make bad decisions sometimes but it isn’t nearly as bad as many people are painting it in this thread. I am just a fallible person, a good father and a responsible and competent employee. Most of it works out quite well until it doesn’t. I just crash and burn a little harder than some people because I like risk and hate boredom. My failures are a lot milder than some family members and other people I know and I really try to do the right thing but I can’t change my fundamental personality except to mask over it.
I made another dumb decision last night or maybe not. Like I mentioned, I am addicted to dating websites but I am seeing someone at least casually. An Australian beauty (that is on my list of must haves) that lives just a few miles away popped up and I messaged her never expecting anything to come of it. Well, it did. We are going out too but I still have my Jewish heiress to go out with tonight and I really like her as well. I don’t want to end up with two girlfriends at the same time but I am setting myself up for it. I know this can’t end well but I just can’t resist.
Must be fun having conversations with people who occasionally post “not now, parents watching over my shoulder.”
You know those pop ups on porn sites that tell you about horny babes just a few miles away waiting for you are a virus scan, right?

I keep thinking this as well. “The poors”! :rolleyes: I can’t stop reading this, I’m on day 2 and I keep coming back because this is hilarious. I’ve been reading excerpts to my fiance and his kids, they’re screaming at this stuff!
