Hang Out and Post

[CAV of Gang Green]

I won't be on tomorrow morning. School.

 

I told you guys that the weekend would be fast!

[jumpingbeans]

The weekend is always too fast6 :(

Will you be on a bit, though?

[CAV of Gang Green]

Will you be on a bit, though?

 

During the week? Yeah, I'll be able to appear now and then.

[jumpingbeans]

Good. I can always appear during the week too.

[CAV of Gang Green]

Wait. My dad's taking the week off. And he can't know that I use the laptop during the week.

 

The only reason I'm on right now is because he's not home at the moment.

[jumpingbeans]

Okay. I don't mind waiting for the questions.

Just take you time...

but why aren't you allowed when your dad's home?

And I like the new pictures.

*pokes head in* Hey everyone! I'm back from a week or so of performance + long project which had been taking up most of my time. Also, I've made a resolution to be nicer and less sarcastic (or at least to try), because apparently as you get older, you get meaner, and I don't want to be mean! :O

 

So there. My past week or so in a nutshell.

 

Oh, also, I'm allergic to coffee. I unintentionally confirmed that today.

[Spritzie]

You're allergic to coffee?? Did you just try it for the first time? Or is that new?

 

I don't like coffee, so in my opinion, you aren't missing much.

[livvy]

Well, I've always known that coffee has never agreed with mum, so up until today, I've avoided it. I didn't even realize I was having coffee - I was eating tiramisu which I only later discovered had coffee in it. I didn't actually get sick sick, I just felt really nauseous and crampy. And that was just a tiny bit of coffee, so actually drinking it can only be worse.

 

Fortunately, I'm not allergic to the smell of coffee. Much as it doesn't like my stomach, I can still spend 10 extra minutes in the coffee bean aisle at the grocery store.

[Wembly]

Being less sarcastic is no fun at all. But I agree with Spritzie, coffee makes me :sick01: literally.

[livvy]

Well, maybe I'll just be NICER about my sarcasm. ;)

 

It's kind of reassuring to know I'm not the only one who gets sick from coffee. I won't say it's nice to know, because it's never nice that people get sick, but I do feel less weird not being alone in this allergy.

[jumpingbeans]

I never thought of coffee of being something you can be allergic to.

Awww. I'm sorry it made you feel icky. :( But now you know for sure to stay away from anything with coffee, even if it's just a dessert.

 

I'm the same way. I actually love the smell of coffee. But the taste isn't the same. I've tried several times over the years, to drink coffee, and I just can't do it. My family is split. My dad and sister love coffee. My mom and I hate it, and love tea.

 

I never thought of coffee of being something you can be allergic to.

 

You can be allergic to probably anything. I've known people who were allergic to lettuce. (Which a ton of people don't even believe is possible, even when they hear it.)

[Theresa2]

I love coffe too I would hate to have an aleric reation to it I need my caffine in the moring lol

[Spritzie]

I just can't deal with the taste. I've tried it with milk, cream, sugar... none of those in any combo made it drinkable to me. I couldn't even handle those fancy coffee drinks from Starbucks.

[Anisha]

Mmm coffee. I love coffee! Especially Cappuccino. I would hate to become allergic to Coffee.

 

I am allergic to pollen. <_< That's even worse.

[Spritzie]

I have a lot of allergies, dust, mold, dogs, etc, but none really food related.

[livvy]

Because pollen is everywhere. You can't just say "Welp, looks like I'll have go forgo my daily dose of pollen. Oh well!" It's not difficult to avoid coffee; there are plenty of alternatives. Chocolate, anyone?

[Spritzie]

I remember when I was in 2nd grade, and had ulcers. I went through a period where I couldn't have chocolate, or caffeine. :( When I was younger, there was a brief period when my doctor suspected I was allergic to milk and such, so I couldn't have it for awhile.

[livvy]

D= That's horrible, Spritzie! Did you ever find out what caused the ulcers?

[Spritzie]

Yeah... it was school. It was a rough year. My teacher was there for about 1-2 months at the beginning, then she got horribly sick and went on leave, so we had substitute teachers for the rest of the year, until our original teacher came back for the very last day of the school year.

[livvy]

Wow. That must have been terribly stressful if it caused an ulcer. I actually have a little bald patch I developed while my Aunt Cathy was really sick. It's pretty much hidden now, and there are treatments I could do to make hair grow back, but it doesn't really bother me all that much. It's just a reminder of how stressful the bridge between 3 and 4 were. (I lost my grandmother and my closest aunt on opposite sides of my birthday.)

 

Though I suppose I'm better off than a fellow at mum's work. He stressed away ALL of his hair, even his eyebrows!

[Spritzie]

The hair thing, happened to my sister when she was going through her separation/divorce. She used to have super thick hair, and after that, it was probably 1/2 as thick. And it's still thick. She'd grown her hair to her waist, then cut it to her shoulders to donate to the Locks of Love (which makes wigs for people with cancer) Her hair was still thick enough that they were able to make 2 donations out of it. o_O

[livvy]

Wow. I know thick hair is supposed to be a good thing, but I don't think I'd want my hair to be THAT thick. Ooh, speaking of which, my hair is ALMOST long enough that I might consider cutting it. Ever since my hair got to my middle-back, I've had people say "Oh, your hair is so long and pretty! You should get it cut for Locks of Love!" Which is really annoying, because I don't WANT to cut my hair. I like it long, and they just said it was pretty. But it's gotten long enough that in the next couple years it will start getting the in the way when I sit down, so it's almost long enough for me to feel comfortable cutting it. :yes:

[Spritzie]

My sister was that way. She just never wanted to cut her hair. She never planned to cut and donate. She decided to do it after she had a friend who lost a daughter to cancer. She did it as a Christmas present.

 

I generally had the shorter hair of the two of us, growing up. But in 6th, I had to cut my hair super short because of health stuff, so after that, I wanted my hair long. So my hair was generally a few inches below my shoulders after it grew out, ever since 6th. But a couple years ago, out of nowhere, I decided to cut it to about chin length (Like in my profile pic) Until recently, I kept it that length, but it's now grown to about my shoulders. I don't know what I think of that. I miss the shorter cut. :laughingsmiley:
