Since someone asked me in another thread, I figure I'll post it here also,and get it over once and for all. I have nothing to hide, just I'm not looking for any sympathy either.

I don't do anything. Been on disability for the last 9 years. Basically my body is falling apart. I suffer from morbid obesity, which is metabolically untreatable, but stable (meaning it doesn't go up or down no matter how much or how little I eat. We suspect gastric surgery will not work due to the innumerable digestive problem I have. Because of my obesity and varies accident, my back, neck, knees and legs are shot. Surgery on my back and neck are not an options. My lower legs have vascular damage that I have to be careful of because I also have diabetes. My diabetes is under control with exercise and diet. Now when I mention my obesity, I'm not gargantuan. I now weight 345. I used to weight 464, but miraculously lost 150 lbs. in 8 months then gained back 50. Nobody can explain why and all medical test come back negative. My weight hasn't changed in over a year. My average caloric intake is 1800 calories.

In addition to physical problems, I also suffer from Epstein-Barr Disease, which is a form of chronic fatigue. My digestive system is shot. I have non-ulcerated colitis, IBD, GERD, gastric paresis and acid reflux. My legs suffer from Lymphedema and vascular deficiency. I suffer from Adult ADHD, Depression (related to the Epstein Barr) and OCD.

Other than that, I'm healthy as a horse and will probably live until I'm 80. No heart disease, cancer, strokes, high blood pressure, or dementia. We just live to be old and pain in the ass to our children, of which I don't have any and I've never been married. I hope that answer any questions. If not, just ask and I'll answer to the best of my ability. I have nothing to hide. One of the main reasons I'm in the health crisis I'm in is that when I had health ins. I didn't need it and when I didn't, which was towards the later, I couldn't get it because of pre-existing conditions. I now practice preventive health care to prevent any further health issue from occurring, but that's sort of a moot point, as I have at least 2 serious unpredictable medical episodes every year. This doesn't include my normally diagnosed problems. Like I said before, don't have sympathy for me, because as long as I feel pain, I know I'm still alive. I've lived with pain my whole life so I don't look at it as a problem.

Also, with chronic fatigue and diabetes, add in ADHD and it messes with your short term memory so I'm always forgetting things and butting into ppls conversation to say things before I forget. My friends are used to it and know why, but it puts off a lot of ppl. I like coming in here, because I've found most of the DSF are above average intelligence and that forces me to use me brain which is a good thing. Sometimes I get antagonistic when things are slow around here, but most of the time I like to stir up a good debate in hopes of stimulating, thoughtful conversation. I know some ppl don't like my use of vocabulary, but that's how I talk and it's the friends I keep, but I do say thank goodness for spell check, because I can't type or spell worth a crap.

Anyway, that's my story. If you've read my postings before, you've seen bits and pieces of my story before. Now you have all of it in one place. Anyhow, I enjoy it here with you ppl at DSF, regardless of the ribbing and like someone said to me when I first started coming around, you guys are all equal opportunity haters. You hate everybody equally. And like someones pappy used to say, don't dish it out, if you can't take it. So bring on the ass whoopin, just sometimes use a little lube instead of super glue all the time. LOL. Peace out. And I enjoy BS'ing with y'all.

How am I supposed to follow that?!? Let's find out...

I'm just an 8 to 4 guy killing time when I should be doing something productive here at work. But if I was productve, they would start expecting it and I'm not having it.

Soooo... when do I get a cactus in my ass?

Whoa, that's quite a story. Explains a lot. You wont get any pity from me, though. I'm gonna be an asshole to you just like I am to everyone else. Except Jo.

I'm a 26 year old chef who's already had the profession consume one marriage. I've been officially divorced for 3 months and have been the happiest I've ever been for the year and a half that I've been apart from my ex, with the exception being that I horribly miss the dogs that she took with her. With my newfound freedom, I've taken it upon myself to have as much fun as possible every day. I'm on a 2 year plan to pay off my debts and get my ass to Europe for no less than 3 months of traveling, eating, drinking, and seeing the world. I've already been to Italy (still have my picture up on the wall of a bar, fun story there), and want to hit up Ireland and England to see where my family comes from. I grew up on a farm, everyone in my family works to take care of animals and I, in turn, cook them. I was named one of the top 20 culinary students in the country in 2005 and have not found the motivation to do shit for myself since. I was very active in a forum years ago while at Virginia Tech, but it disappeared and I'm liking starting to get back into it here.

Welcome aboard. Like the handle. Can sympathize w/ the dogs. My ex got custody of my 3 border collies. It sucks.

Yeah, I miss them for sure. I got to see them on my birthday a year and a half ago, but nothing since. I've still got my little girl that I got when I was 12 (13 year old pooch, still acts like a puppy, she's great), but I really miss the other two. On the rare occasion that the ex calls me, it's a picture of them that pops up on my phone, they're pretty much the only thing I can smile about when I look back on our relationship.
