Looks like Gräzl is back under the moniker "Man_Gräzl." How the hell do people not put two and two together realize that's Gräzl? It reminds me of the time Dusty Rhodes got banned from Florida wrestling and then came back straightaway as "The Midnight Rider" people was all like "Aw cool it's a new wrestler we hant seen before!" I'm like "Come on people!"

Betimes I think some of you guys get on here and post posts that aren't real events I have never in my life had rip in the elbow of shirt or been invited to go fishing as part of balchler party or suchlike.

I cant make **** up, I'm not that creative.

I can't make up stuff of fiction either just don't have that skill to me, but I feel like I can recognize made up fiction when I see it. The idea of fishing as part of balchler party just didn't look like it had verisimilitude to it. Maybe it was a dream to where you didn't make it up on purpose.

Ugh. So glad I was drunk rather than on law review. Hang in there.


Just one month left before we pass it off to a new batch of suckers editors. btw, a friend of mine transferred to your alma mater and showed me the write on. I thought UCLA's was bad but that thing was a beast.

My law review article had almost 180 pages of footnotes. Good times.


That's disgusting.

My friend has stage two breast cancer. Work is giving her 6 months off but looks like she might need a year. So not only does she lose a year of her life she might have to quit her job. We also can't visit her because when chemo starts her immune system is really weak and the doctors don't want her to have outside contact

We hung out for the last time yesterday. I'm really devastated. We told her we'd get through this together I don't know what that actually means. Her family isn't taking it well either. She's now staying with her family and she's going crazy cuz her mother is beginning to be really overbearing about all the fake health type stuff she sees on TV

**** cancer

yeah, her year is going to suck. It's going to suck hard. My mother had stage 3 a number of years ago, and the impact was massive for 20-24 months.

but whatever. Since my mother worked at a hospital, she could keep her job, but she has since left anyways and has found something new and awesome since. It's not a death sentence nor a career death sentence.

I feel like the "no outside visits" is weird, but she will be insanely weak for a very long time. I guess my advice is to just continue to be a friend ... don't be overbearing, don't treat it like death, help out where you need to, but just let her do what needs to be done.

also, her mother sounds like the last thing a cancer patient wants to deal with. so don't be like her.

I want to be supportive but I also want to respect her space. I just don't know what to do. When my mom had stage three breast cancer all I could do was call her every once in awhile. Now that I can do something I feel guilty for my not really being able to do anything.

Maybe when she's stronger we can arrange a visit. She said they're going to do a round of chemo and then excise the tumor and another round of chemo. Her doctor said the prognosis looks good tho.

That's rough, indesertum. Best wishes to your friend.




I'm pissed that lately I'm constantly being suckered by fanciful and inefficient you guys post here because archetypal_yuppie hasn't been around to speak the truth to your power.

Driving in a parking lot person comes right at me on the wrong side of path pert near hits me she's got a look of anger on her visage like that she thinks I'm to blame. Later when we are both out of our cars she is like "You got to stay out my way!" And I was like "Your way is on the right side not on the left we have a system for that works perty well." She was like "Well I don't care what you call it long as you stay out of my way!"
