Awww. That's so nice. I was just laying here feeling sorry for my sorry self and trying to think of some funny, clever, witty thing and coming up with nothing. I've been feeling sucky and have a tendency to lay low when that happens.

I never have anything funny or witty to say. I just use this place to put the running commentary that is going on in my head....

I posted a thread about a fast food item...I mean come on.

I saw it. I was going to post some PETA chicken videos. Then I thought that would be a asshole thing to do so I didn't. Earlier today, Mattyrain asked for a fish sandwich with fish in between two slices of fish. She said it was pretty good, and her's wasn't even fried.

I'm weaning myself off Cymbalta right now. I've been on it for about three years. I guess it was for anxiety but I never really would describe it that way. It's a long story that can be summarized by saying that my brain doesn't function correctly. I thought for years that there must be some deep thing that I wasn't processing or some reason why everything was amazing in my life and I could see it and appreciate it in theory but just felt really black. I think now, with working out, not drinking that much, eating well I can be off of it. I hope I can, but I'm not opposed to going back to it if it's not working out. It's irritating to take pills every day, to pay for them, to go to the doctor to get them and a million other things that are annoying about it.

Cymbalta is a rough withdrawl. Not as horrible as the week hiking the PCT that I went without. From 60mg to nothing hiking twenty miles a day was almost insurmountable. I'm doing it right this time, but I'm still struggling a little. My brain is foggy, I feel that paranoid "weed" feeling, very self conscious and randomly crying over nothing. It's not like I'm sitting here in the dark sobbing or anything. It's more like one minute I'll be okay, telling a joke and laughing and then feel really, really darkly sad like someone flipped a switch in my head. It's a little confusing. Because since I'm in my head, how do I know what's the drug getting out of there, and what could possibly be an imbalance and the reason the drug should be in there. Very tricky stuff.

If your trying to kick something like coke, you go to meetings, people tell you you're doing the right thing, there's support. You can trust that even though it sucks, people tell you what to do and you generally know that it's the right thing. They did it, you can too. This? I'm not clear, but at least I'm going to get to a few weeks of taking nothing before I can really clearly decide.

What's really taking up my head space right now are skates. I just found out that I've been skating for the last four months in skates that are three sizes too big. I can post the back and forth emails between the vendor that sold them to me if anyone is interested. Other girls on the team are having the same problem with their skates, but at the most a size off. Because of our email exchange RMRG has decided to offically not reccomend her as a skate vendor, which made me feel a little vindicated...

but, what kind of a dope skates around for four months in clown shoes and doesn't realize what's going on. I was getting really pissed because I'm not getting promoted and can't hit properly and am still falling way more than I'd like. Well DUH. I'm glad I figured it out and have an order in for proper gear but it just keeps gnawing at me. Partly because of the chemical soup that's percolating in my brain, and half because as Mr. X rightly pointed out, that I don't do enough research. When I decide to do something, I just jump off the cliff. Maybe it's a perfect time to reflect on my ways....or not.

I'll just post the exchange. It's probably not that interesting, so feel free to employ Sr. X's skimming technique.

Hi Vallie,

I'm writing to let you know that the Rydel Wickeds that I bought from you have turned out to be way too big for my feet. Though I realize that I bear some responsibility for that, I was completely new to skating and I think that you should take more care in helping your customers in sizing their skates. I wear a women's 9 and you put me in a men's 9. I'm now being told that my skate size should be at least a size to a size and a half smaller than your normal shoe size. So, at the very least, you sold me skates two sizes too big for me.

These were an expensive purchase and I'm disappointed that I'm going to have to do it over again. In addition, it's been a frustrating process (to say the least) trying to learn derby in skates that don't fit properly. In talking with other derby girls, I'm not the only one who has had problems like this.

Please let me know what you can do to help rectify my situation.

Thanks,
Cindy

Vallie,

Yes, I came to you to try them on. I understand that there are different preferences, but I was a new, new newbie. You asked how they felt. I said great. They felt great because they were huge. You didn't tell me that the standard is to buy at least a size to a size and a half smaller. You didn't even feel where my toe came in relation to the front of the skate. It's at least an inch away.

I can understanding you saying that girls have preferences but me coming to you and relying on your expertise is different than a vet buying skates.

As I said, I do have some responsibility in this, but I think that you do also. I feel a little bitter that I'm going to have to buy another pair of $400 skates. I would feel much better about it, and your business practices if you agreed to sell me a new pair at cost.

Let me know,
Cindy

Vallie,

Sorry, my mistake I meant $300 not $400.

If you felt my toe, than I'm really curious as to why you would have sold me these skates. There's literally about an inch of space between my toe and the end of the skate.

There are two other girls in my RMRG newbie class that purchased skates from you that are also having to repurchase skate because of this problem.

Mrs X, my stepmother shipped me her P90X yesterday. I was talking to a girl at work today and she made it sound like it's basically impossible to do. She said there are 1,000 pushups the first day. I was like..."A thousand? Really?" And she said, "yes...a thousand". I said, "Really now. A thousand. One thousand. Really?" She said, "yes, a thousand". I said, "are you sure you're not exaggerating a little. A thousand. Really?" She said, "yes. A thousand."

I still don't believe her. I've been doing sets of 20-30 every other day up to about 100 or so total for the past few weeks. I also run about 3 miles a day. Is this thing going to be completely impossible or what? I mean...people do it right? She also said she couldn't walk after the first week. She made it sound like it was literally impossible to do. She said the workouts are an hour and half every day, with one break day a week. I said, an hour and a half....really? She said "yes, an hour and half". I said "really?".....

Do you mind summarizing the reason why it was prescribed to you? I'm two months into my Lexapro treatment for social anxiety and it's been pretty fucking sweet up to now. I'm told it's very easy to stop too.

That's what I was thinking Matt. She can't be right. It can't be as hard as some of these people who gave up on it make it sound. I think it is going to be very, very difficult...but people DO it. Regular people. It's possible. I've heard from so many pussies about how it's too hard and I'll never get through it. It's making me want to do it that much more.
 
I never looked into it but I saw bits of the infomercial a couple weeks ago. It's basically a hardcore version of what I do every other day... body weight exercises and some dumbbell shit.

1000 reps? Fuck that.

No, there are not 1000 push ups.

If you're somewhat in shape it's really hard but not insurmountable. I won't lie, for the first month or so there were a few frustrated tears on plyometrics day. Now I do most of the stuff with effort, but nothing like in the beginning. I remember the 15 min ab workout really killing me and hurting for the next few days. Now I do it and can't remember why I thought it was so hard. If you want to ease into it, I know they make power 90 which is supposed to be easier and get you ready for P90X.

It's pretty readily available on torrent sites. If you want it and don't know how to download, I can walk you through it.

Even random one-liners work Mrs. X. We're an easy crowd.

Please pat Mattyrain's furry head for me Mrs. X. (I wish there was a way to test whether Pogo and her would get along.)

Your in Canada right. Could I even bring a cat across the border? Mattyrain is very dog like. She comes when you call her and will follow you all around the house. But she's super polite too. Even Reno Cool likes her....and that's saying alot. Usually I have to keep the felines corralled, but everyone is fine with her having the run of the house since she thwarted my fencing techniques.
 
Do you do the diet too Mrs X? I'm pretty set in my stance that I'm not going to do the diet. I eat very healthy as it is. I don't need to change my entire lifestyle at all. I take really good care of myself as it is now, and don't need to lose any weight. I understand that I will probably lose 10 pounds of hidden fat if I follow through with this, but that's going to happen with or without his diet.

So do you think the diet is crucial, or can I attain what I'm looking for while sticking to the healthy diet I already adhere to?
