Protip: focus on taking deep breaths. If you actively think about breathing, the hiccup will pass within a couple of minutes.

Anyone know what high blood pressure feels like? I been feeling like I've got a clamp on my neck.

There are no real symptoms of high blood pressure. You just have to go get it checked. (Or check it yourself if you have a sphygmomanometer and stethoscope, actually pretty cheap, and know how) Most of what people will tell you have been proven false, inconclusive evidence supporting them or are only visible at the extremes of high blood pressure. ie Systolic above 180 or diastolic over 110. Proven symptoms at these ranges are severe headaches, nose bleeds, shortness of breath, problems with your vision.

In relation to your problem if it has been going on for more than a day, go see your GP.

I always assumed that the sound of blood rushing in my head was a symptom of elevated blood pressure after way too much coffee. Was I wrong?
I also do recall one time I spent whole 2 days at very high blood pressure due to stress and I could feel the difference in heightened anxiety levels, headaches, said rushing sort-of-sound, slightly blurry vision...

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

I was hoping I would make it through life without being stung by a bee. Something viciously attacked me while driving today and stung me right in the jugular. It hurts but at least I am not allergic.

What the shuddering fuck is this? It came on in the background when I was on Cracked.com. Is it a joke or something? Or are there people that have spent money on this.

It's basically spam, of the 'learn these tricks to make women love you' variety of 'crazy tip a housewife learned, scientists hate her!!!' ads.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

It was pretty much the most sexist thing ive seen online. Utterly bizarre but after a quick google the guy seems to be doing quite well out of it.

Just failed the test in my town for a part time Firefighter position. I have never felt so shitty about myself.

Went to Fire School in 2011, did well and loved it. Got a film job out of town after, which is my only other interest and something I've always wanted to do along with fire since I was in grade 2. So I moved there to work/learn and do smaller fire courses, but it wasn't as steady or even often as they told me, so I worked at a Loblaws too and starved my self so I could pay bills and make a profit. Lost my fitness level and some knowledge. Moved back home end of April, to officially try balancing the two. Failed embarrassingly. Dummy drag slowed me right down.

22, living at home, and seem to have nothing going for me anymore.

You're 22 and living at home, which means you have relative health and ample time and minimal expenses going for you.

The drag is notorious. Everyone hates the drag. A metric fucktonne of people fail, just because of the drag. But it's not supposed to be easy to run away from a fire, backwards, tired, with lousy visibility, wearing full gear and dragging 300lbs of unconcious fatty.

It's also really easy to train for (in the sense of you know exactly what it requires). Hit the gym and twice a week stuff some rocks in a sack and get to work dragging. Next time you'll nail it.

And if not, the time after that.

You could try rocks in a sack or lots of sand in bags stuffed in a duffle bag and heavily duct taped up to prevent zippers from breaking open.

If you've a military surplus store around, there's some cheap duffles there and you can reinforce the straps somewhat for pulling purposes if you're taking it up to 300 lbs.

Try finding things for exercises like farmer's walks and prowler pushing. Those'll help you in the training phases.

I survived the Permian and all I got was this t-shirt.
