Dogs are terrible. Just terrible.

They are superior to you.

Irrelevant.

I just had the weirdest night sleep.  I kept waking up shortly after dreaming.  I remember my dreams rather well as a result.  They weren't scary or anything so I don't know why I kept waking up.  The themes were escape and trying to find someone for a coworker of mine.

So now I'm tired and have a better understanding of my sleeping brain.

Can't you adopt your own cat for free or something?

I don't think it's free, no

I used to work at an animal shelter, and while cats weren't free to adopt, they were much cheaper than dogs. When you consider the vet bills that the shelter takes care of (initial check ups and spaying/neutering) it's pretty cheap.

I had a dream two nights ago. In it, Nazis killed all of the American government, but there weren't enough Nazis to physically occupy America, so nothing changed. There was just no government.

Nazis? Sounds Thorktastic.

I've realized I'm developing a stutter. It started out with little things, stumbling and stuttering over words now and then, but it's been more substantial the past few months and I'm pretty sure it's getting worse. :[

Get off the drugs, Supes.

Unless you've recently been hit on the head or something, you're not going to develop a stutter this late in your life.  That's not how it works.  Just try to relax whenever you're talking, and you should be fine.

Supes, are you taking any prescription anti depressant drugs?

It sounds to me you're becoming anxious about stuttering which maybe causing it.

See a doctor.

That costs money. :[ But if it somehow got serious and I get a bunch of money, I will.

Is that all? I thought there were various ways to develop one later in life, like stress and chance and all, but that could be a bunch of dumb myth stuff that gets spread around. If so, that's a relief. :]

I should be, but no. :[

Your username is quite relevant! But that could maybe be it too, but I'm not so sure about that.

In the UK its free. It seems very mediaeval to me that a person would be denied healthcare on the basis of personal wealth.

A stutter can be for all kinds of reasons. I got one at uni because I was smoking half an ounce of pot every week for 5 years. I left uni, stopped the drugs and the stammer went away after about 5-6 years. Yeah, that long. Mine was more of a pause as my brain searched for a word. I guess it had some kind of neural path damage and my brain needed to make new connections which took a while.

However, you can also develop speech issues because of tumours.

In rare cases, stuttering may be acquired in adulthood as the result of a neurological event such as a head injury, tumour, stroke, or drug use. The stuttering has different characteristics from its developmental equivalent: it tends to be limited to part-word or sound repetitions, and is associated with a relative lack of anxiety and secondary stuttering behaviors

In short, it could be symptomatic of something much more serious. Ask you parents for doctor money.

This story sounds familiar...

Thork has brain damage.

So Ævan is actually Thork. Mods, please take the appropriate disciplinary action.

Done.

Thork done smoked himself retarded.

I'm swimming in another river race tomorrow morning. In a weird twist, a 23 year old girl wants to go with me. She has nice legs.

Good luck. With the race and the girl.

I was at a club the other night and some drunk old man kept slapping my arse and shouting "liverpool" - it was a little irritating.
