There's a guy in my workplace that lines the toilet seat with paper towels and then flushes them. The plumbing in there is already bad, so it clogs constantly. I've been in there when I was trying to flush and then shit water starts coming out of the drain in the floor

^ someone today shoved an almost-full roll of toilet paper into one of the bowls. it was amazing.

i get really really really bad heartburn/reflux/acid etc.   

part of the problem is that i just think its normal for me to be in agony all night after eating something too acidic.    yay I just woke myself up crying 

lazaprazole works, also milk of magnesia, rennies, gaviscone etc but sometimes I dont have or I forget (or have eaten them all).   I have been known to eat a tablespoon of bicarb just to neutralise the acid.   yay aya

if you kid suffers with this, get it sorted by a doctor asap because I thought it was normal until let loose into the world in my 20s & living with gfs who told me it isnt normal to cry half the night in your sleep.  its really painful

drinking apple cider vinegar really helps acid reflux

supplementing with betaine hcl will probably normalize the acid levels in your stomach and cure most of the issues

eat a decent diet also helps of course

contrary to popular understanding acid reflux is caused by the absence of proper levels of acid in the stomach which causes the esophagus to open up and allows acid to touch the sensitive bits

adding acid to your stomach in the forms I outline above should improve the situation greatly

don't go to doctors trying to heal yourself. drugs don't fix your problems. they mask them.

This is a good guide:

Yeah I buy cider vinegar with mother in,  youve just reminded me i need to get another :)

i'll try betaine, i hadnt heard of that.  I try to eat a fresh veg diet but I like to drink & eat rich food.  its a bummer

that article hits the nail on the head straightaway.  I soar when I have a low carb diet, really happy. active, productive.   And yoghurt has always been my breakfast of choice due to it not returning later to attack me.  Nice one, thanks

Also people who don't pay attention to what you order.

one of my cacti attacked me right on my finger tip

Np man, 

Hope it helps.

I'd read a guide on using betaine before you do.

I don't know how much success you'll have using holistic methods if you're still using Rx methods though.

Looking at my record collection and questioning whether to sell alot of them or not. 

Apparently I'm past due on my first ever property tax payment. I have the exemption form yet to fill out too, though I don't know whether it'll have any effect. I'm about to get hit hard financially either way. Fuck adulthood right now.

My local shop doesn't sell tahina so I had to make hummus out of bloody peanut butter.  I thought this was supposed to be a civilised country.

Sell one or two, and before you know it you'll have sold a bunch. I did this with my comic collection and don't miss the ones I have sold at all.

you can always make it yourself, just toast some sesame seeds and blend them with a few drops of oil:

also, you shouldn't be using tahina to make hummus, you should be using tahini (maybe you just made a typo).

That's pretty much a key ingredient. Same with chickpeas and garlic.

Do you normally make it out of the blender, or mix it up manually?

apparently i'm in the middle an IDM revival according to a stupid magazine

Will try making it!

Ambermonk. I blend but I realise that probably makes me a philistine

starting to wonder if I've been really mean to one of my staff without realising it.
