Uggggggh, so fucking sick. Diagnosed with a sinus infection that's spreading to the ears. Started antibiotics a couple days ago, but I don't feel like I'm getting better. My temp fluctuates between 99 at the low end and 103 at the high end. My fever has broken and come back a couple times now, which is making me freak out a bit. Especially because I think it's the prescription strength ibuprofen I have to take for my back pain that's breaking the fever.

This is the worst.

I don't think it could be ibuprofen. Drink a lot of water and make sure to stay hydrated. Get yourself some natural cinnamon (dry cinnamon sticks) to make cinnamon tea to soothe yourself. It also has good properties to help your body relax.

You should go to the doctor, or even to the hospital if your fever continues to get worse. Especially of it becomes chronic. You have seen your doctor for your sinus infection, other than for diagnosis, right?

Get well soon!

Long-term ibuprofen use can lead to stomach problems, though. It inhibits mucosal production in the stomach lining which, after prolonged use like 5 or more days, can cause a lot of digestion problems. How long have you been taking it?

I've ordered 4 Gundam models in the last week, what's wrong with meeeeeee.

On the topic of getting sick, this is the first year I've ever had sinus issues. Sinus infections are no joke :'(

Since last Sunday. I was advised by the doctor in the ER to take it until I could see my regular doctor, which will be next week, to help manage the back pain.

Thanks. I haven't seen my doctor again since my diagnosis, but as he was the doctor on call, I was able to speak to him via phone and explain what was happening. Thankfully, my temperature has dropped to normal. I'm hoping it stays down.

Oh good lord, two weeks of extra-strength ibuprofen? My partner was taking it for a little under week before he started having stomach cramps and digestion problems. I had severe lower-back problems several years back where the doctor prescribed the same thing. After about 6 days I had to go back and ask for something that would help the stomach pain and he ended up prescribing me something else. Hope you get that resolved soon.

More than halfway through the first season of Queer as Folk, wish I had watched this show a lot sooner.

Also, now giving Carly's album a listen since folks are talking it up. I like it so far.

I can't watch his movies anymore.

If anything it actually made me gradually stop consuming porn. It's not uncommon porn actors who kill themselves.

That's terrible. Not worth your time tbh. It's one of those things where I understand that people have preferences but dismissing someone for something like weight is conflicting to me.

It's conflicting to me because character and personally are more important than aesthetics. Of course, looks matter in the dating world, but someone said to me that those things in the end are superficial - when you meet the right person those things don't matter.

Of course weight is important to the degree that you want to be at healthy weight. Yet the mentality of losing weight because people will reject you reflects a lot about the superficial nature of dating apps and platforms. It breaks down an individual to how they look, weight and other things that don't always reflect anything about said individual; their character and personality. Those two are much more important and often ignored.

I mean I do understand. When someone looks for a partner the first thing they see would be looks before personality. So I suppose if you dont have that first barrier of entry down then no one will bite.

Yeah it is sad that you have to be smaller to even get a chance for them but I guess that is just how it works. For now I'm just going to stop flirting with anyone and work on losing it and making myself better.

I got asked to do bear porn on growlr and the guys were asking me to relocate to LA and offered to stay on their place til I get my own place. I obviously said no but that kinda cheered me up a bit as messed up as it was.

Ehhh... I don't know about making yourself better. I know losing weight feels good, and you feel more confident but I find the whole mindset of 'going to the gym/dieting to lose weight because there's something wrong with you' to be toxic and detrimental to your self-esteem.

I'm not saying this applies to you but I've seen it many times from guys and girls who prioritize losing weight as a means to have better chances at dating and it doesn't really work like that. I guess the main focus for making such change should be for well-being and satisfied with yourself as you reach a point where you are healthy and happy.

Again I'm just thinking in general. Best of luck!

Wow. That's amazing! Yes it's messed up (or perhaps not?) I'd be super flattered, lol.

Thing is, exercise releases endorphins and you just feel better in general to be in shape. There are so many reasons to do it.

Well obviously the dating thing is a bonus. It would be mostly for myself and making my life better.

Also Growlr sucks. That or my local Growlr scene is in the pits. Probably that.

There always seems to be that guy with the Bear Films 'connection' everytime I wander to the Eagle. It's always nice to hear though, congrats!

Is it just me or does the Moto X pure run considerably hot under moderate to heavy use?

My Asus Zenfone 2 (with its famed battery murdering Intel cpu) wouldn't get this hot...

Weird.

HAPPY MEAN GIRLS DAY

I had a fantastic day at Universal and Islands of Adventure with my friends. My date wouldn't join us because the group was me and the usual friends including the one he just ditched the friendship with and honestly I think it's silly. The guy he got mad at is sweet as heck and no way am I seeing a reason to not be friends with him. My guy says he felt like the friend was not invested in being friends because he doesn't have a car and so when he hangs out he usually needs to be dropped off somewhere else and I'm not fazed by that I guess because I know what it's like to be around this age without a car and think the ex-friend needs rides and probably feels a hell of a lot more comfortable being friends with the people he asks. Rather than just asking for a ride and not spending any time at all. They have hung out lots of times without anywhere to go.

and then my guy says that ex-friend would never invite him to things and I'm thinking BS honestly because I've never invited my guy to a thing ever and he let that slide. Heck, I didn't even invite him to universal or tell him I was going at all. Ex-friend is the one who reached out and told him to come by with us in the first place and my guy backed out.

My guy tried to list a bunch of things that frankly aren't my business and don't have anything to do with my friendships or interactions. He claimed ex-friend has cheated on his boyfriend and makes people feel used a lot. Does he though??? You the only one that didn't come hang with us today who we told to come.

I never feel secure that I'll get invited again to see these friends but I'll always say yes if I do. They're great. I had a blast today.
