Mine are great, comfy and useable. Got ‘em on sale too. And they keep my legs noticeably warmer than jeans or other work pants I have which is nice since I leave for work into below freezing rainy, windy weather almost every morning. The warmth is highly appreciated and I wear them most days for work.

Yeah i believe it was because I was on Fentanyl drip direct to nerve cluster for an extended period of time in the hospital.
Isn’t it like a drug treatment for heroin? I might have said the wrong thing, it’s this little square of stuff that tastes nasty and you have to let it dissolve under your tongue. Might have been called something else, this was 3 yrs ago now. They said it was to help with side effects of getting the drip out of my nerves.

Man I woke up in a helicopter being flown to the hospital and the guy was like “are you okay” ( I had passed out originally) I was like “I think I’ve pissed myself but besides that, yeah” and then I looked over and saw the mess of what used to be my arm and stomach, I realized I was not okay, and promptly passed out again. Woke up post surgery and you know what? I pissed myself AGAIN!

My right hand and some more of the arm, large chunks of my midsection area, and burned all over my chest, stomach, and arms/left hand.
My hospital roommate fell asleep while camping with his dad and woke up to their trailer exploding with him inside it from a gas leak. He had like 90% burns over his whole body. That dude was fuckin tough to the quick. I don’t feel bad about my burns when I think of David in full body gauze and crying from the pain of breathing.

Thank you man, every day when I can pay a bill or get work done is a win on my book since for a long time I was just drifting along. It’s nice to contribute and not just take and feel bad for myself.

Well, the main problem I had was that the gauze dries out and sticks to you after a day and night. So to change it felt like peeling off an entire layer of skin off of the burned raw stuff underneath, every day for weeks. At a certain point it WAS peeling off fresh skin once it got healed enough that I didn’t change the bandages daily. So that really sucked that it was so painful every time.

I am doing much better now, thank you. I had to pull myself out of a deep depression to get back into living again though.
I was out of work for about a year and a half due to the injury and related depression. A few months after I got back to work (warehouses, didn’t graduate since I became homeless at 16, so that’s what I’m stuck with) I threw my back out horribly and was out again for about 5 months. Lost my job and therefore insurance, and therefore my car, and couldn’t finish physical therapy due to cost and transportation.
Laid around feeling bad for myself since I’m only 22 with such a messed up body including a chronic shoulder injury and no high school diploma or family whatsoever to fall back on.
Realized I was dragging my girlfriend down with me and we were just existing with no joy. Had to start going outside again, and then talking to people, and then applying for jobs. I’m at a temp agency now so I get bounced around a lot which sucks since I still don’t have a car. Been working 10hr days not including 3 hours commute every day to pull us out of paycheck to paycheck life, and now we have a great apartment in a better place, lots of time with each other, and I’m not fantasizing about a bus running me over nearly as often as I used to.
So all in all, things could be a hell of a lot worse. One week I lived on a single can of watermelon Arizona and 3 slices of bread because getting out of bed was literally an insurmountable task. Now I spend 13hrs a day out makin things happen for myself and my relationship.

Yep, I was involved in an explosion and had an amputation. Helicopter ride and everything. I had a Fentanyl drip directly into my nerves in my shoulder for the pain. They gave me a shit ton of thin yellow gauze pre-coated in anti-bacterial goo, a bunch more dry white gauze for wrapping, and a shit ton of Suboxin to wean me off the Fentanyl while providing adequate pain relief.
Let me tell you, for a couple weeks there unwrapping and wrapping my burned, raw, open wounds, looking INSIDE myself for a while there, and treating myself alone (the Suboxin didn’t help much) was one of the most mentally challenging things I’ve ever gone through.
Really fucked me up inside, I didn’t leave the house for almost a year. Thankful the pandemic kicked off around then and I didn’t have to.

You mean when I copied you doing that in your comment, to be accurate as to what you wrote? What about it?
Anyways “shore” can be used for an ocean, lake, river, no problem with the language police.

No, and it’s “aren’t”. But it should have been “isn’t” anyways if you put shores in quotations how you did.

Reply to comment by jessi74 in TIL that there is a brand of potato chips developed for prison commissaries that was so popular on the inside that it became available to the mass market. by a_side_of_toast
Someone else compared them to All Dressed flavor Ruffles, which I love. I just tried these Zapps chips a few days ago and they’re salt and vinegar, which I really don’t like. Also kind of barbecue-y but still.
This makes me really wonder what these chips actually taste like

Well that would be a super dumb point to make, seeing as there’s more than 4,000 places defined as “cities” with a population above 150k, so being 23rd is very close to the top

I just get really dirty and dusty but they don’t get worn from contact or anything so I can’t speak on that. I only got the double fronts cuz they were on sale like I said, so I suppose you’d have more an idea on that then I do.
I will say I love my Dickies too, I just don’t wear them as often because even though I got the exact same measurements, they are tight. My only complaint.
