Grey Ninja, you pitiful, pitiful thing you. CIGARETTES!?

I guess it's better than weed

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #76 on:** July 11, 2003, 06:29:31 AM »

I can't buy weed. I have to take a drug test.

I know that. you see i was trying to, well....I was... I read that other thread, about the drugs and well, I was trying to...ummm...be funny. That's why I put the winkie-wink face there, as in "wink-wink"

Well, get some real food because that Ramen is going to liquidify your gut and your still no good to us DEAD.

You can eat cheap foods, but you got to rotate what you eat and splash out a little once a week to get your body straightened up with some solid foodstuffs.

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #79 on:** July 11, 2003, 08:16:11 AM »

ooohboy, your idea sounds good and all, but I have $2.50 to my name. I have a $2 bill, and a roll of pennies. That doesn't buy much real food. I have a loaf of bread that is starting to mold, a jar of mayo that has just a little bit left in it, a pack of hot dogs with 2 weiners left in it, a box of cornflakes that's about a quarter full, and a case of motherf*cking ramen. Ramen might be the bane of my existence, but it's keeping me alive. I wonder if I should go to sleep so I can be rested for work tonight, or if I should go to the food bank before it closes?

I wonder if I should pawn my GBA and buy Skies of Arcadia?

aw bloody hell. This is getting nowhere. I am going to bed. And maybe I will dream about sailing the great sea again.

Well maybe if you stopped talking about your problems and went out and did something you may solve them

Also Romen is not your top choice for food. You eat it and 30 mins later its gone and your hungry again. For $2 go buy some store brand cereal. And I would suggest not smoking ciggs unless you have money because after your addicted, your not always going to have money to buy more, and the will power to walk to the gas station. Same with weed, you'll be a kid thats hungry 24/7 like me

i really find it funny when like my uncle calls it pop. I dont even think most parts of canada call it pop..it depends on which region you live in. Like for instance in minnesota they'll call it pop. In georgia and arizona they'll call it soda. Also milk....milk contains fat...lots of it..and calcium. Cerials your best bet. Its cheap and is filled to the brim with energy(sugar)

also american soda tastes like blah when compared to soda iv had in mexico...thats because there is no sugar in american soda...their is high fructose corn syrup(sugar tarriff...syrup is cheaper)..which is an ok substitute. Well when i go down to mexico ill be sure to get some good soda.

personally im going to lay off soda pop actually, iv gained soem weight over the summer...which is somethign i normally lose. And i want to get back into a more average weight. I think i went from 160 to 200 pounds...im not sure...but i cant.....kick high....you nkow when that happens you have to get back in shape. Time to start the crunches, situps, squats, pushups, drink more water, limit my soda, swim...swimming really cuts me up.

oohhboy · « **Reply #82 on:** July 11, 2003, 04:19:59 PM »

Splashing out can be as simple as having some Ramen with a dog and maybe alittle lettuce for fiber. Atleast is a variation. Fiber is the key. That is why the Ramen is running through you like the a river. The suggestion about milk and ceral is good. That is probaly the best piece of advice posted so far. Got fiber so it ani't going to turn to slush and force you to use more toliet paper. Got plenty of the good stuff. Cheap and filling. Add sugar to it and who needs Soda/Pop/softdrink?

Lay off the cigs. Lay off the games and go play at a friends house to get your fix if your that hunger for some. Anyway, how did you get a case of Ramen anyway?

Oh yeah, one last thing. Forget pride, go to the food bank. At this rate health would starting chipping into your ability to work and that would lead to who knows what number i the circle of personal hell. If you can't work you might as well be dead. That is no use to us at all.

then again the lactose in milk can be pretty bad itself....

oohhboy · « **Reply #84 on:** July 12, 2003, 03:59:06 AM »

Only if you can't hack lactose. When did people get so soft to te point where they can't even drink milk?

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #85 on:** July 12, 2003, 05:53:02 AM »

Heh. Why do you guys need me anyways? I always thought that the world would be that much closer to solving it's overpopulation problem without me. I have also been described as contaminating the gene pool.

I found out at work today though, that I could get an advance on my pay cheque. I promptly asked for $100, and I have 5 $20 bills in my pocket right now. My first priority is to go to the pawn shop and buy back my copy of Secret of Evermore that I pawned a while back. I can get it back for like $29 right now, but if I wait another week, it will end up costing me almost $100 to get it back. I can wait for my paycheque to go get Zelda OoT and Perfect Dark back.

But yeah, I will go buy some hot dogs, and some more milk today. I should be able to start feeling better by the time I get the rest of my pay.

I am currently wrestling with myself about whether or not I should even check if they still have Skies of Arcadia... I know that if I see it there again, it's going in my backpack. Last time I was there, I clutched it to my heart and rocked it a few times. I am sure that someone is going to be saving that videotape for parties.

Ah well, what can you do?

Btw, I didn't really start this thread to complain about my lack of food. I started it to complain about my lack of common sense, or any kind of survival instinct.

And as for cigarettes, I haven't had a smoke in over a month. I was smoking regularly up until about 4 months ago, when I ran out of money, and had to cut some costs. Quitting is no problem for me. I just like the feeling it gives me, but I won't sacrifice food or video games for drugs or cigarettes.

Ms.Pikmin · « **Reply #86 on:** July 12, 2003, 06:59:01 AM »

For the love of God, Grey Ninja, buy some real freaking food!! *wacks side of Grey Ninja's head* I do not say this in a flaming sense, but in a concerned sense. Hot dogs are not going to help you feel better. Get something decent at the store. I know you do not have a lot of money, but you should care about your health at least a little bit. Get some fruit and a few vegetables along with whatever meat-type-product you decide to get. Check the fresh meat area because chicken can be pretty cheap, and it is very easy to cook it in different ways. But whatever you do, please get a grip and take care of yourself.

EDIT: Also, since you already have all that ramen, why don't you add cut up vegetables and/or cooked chicken and make something more substantial.

ThePerm · « **Reply #87 on:** July 12, 2003, 10:18:26 AM »

actually to tell you the truth.I was always supposed to be lactose intolerant...however..i drank milk as a kid...no problems. Now that im older though it actually effects me....

the same can be said for cats.....they love milk..but after the first year they should be lactose intolerant.....ahh sigh...

ever think of going to a chinese buffett? The one where i live is about 8 dollars. theres a cheaper one but its not as good. Still at your level of hungar somethign so proteiny would prolly taste awesome. Also you can pig out to your hearts content...buffett ...all you can eat......you could do this weekly to suplement your hotdogs and ramen

also do you haev friends..friends who still live with their parents? Parents cook.

i was the same way, although as a kid milk would sometimes upset my stomach. From what i understand, all people are lactose intolerant. It's only through years of consuming dairy products that we are able to process it better. A lot of easterners who come to the US have to adapt to eating dairy, and many never do.

Grey Ninja, food > games. It's simple. Get your games when you have the money. Right now, you need to be concerned more about survival than games.

Dude Grey seriously, screw video games and buy food. Dont spend$29 on that game buy FOOD stock up on some stuff, then save video games can come later man.

oohhboy · « **Reply #90 on:** July 12, 2003, 05:16:55 PM »

Dairy products are good. If I am intorarent of any food it would be soft drinks and instant Ramen in Japan. That stuff is real poison.

Actually, that's true for ALL animals, and is true with normal humans. The way all animals work is during their year/s of infancy they drink milk from their mother. Once they've stopped growing they become lactose intolerant and stop drinking milk. You see, milk actually has just as many things that leach bone mass as add to it- you're not supposed to drink it afterl you're through growing. However, the group of humans most of us are descendants of today had a genetic defect that stopped them from becoming lactose intolerant when they became older. You, my friend, are actually normal- it's all of us who can digest milk and dairy products our whole lives that are the odd ones out.

Grey Ninja- I hope your new job pays enough for you to not have to do anything so desperate again, man.

I'm lucky enough to live with my parents and get an allowance, so I never have to choose between gaming and eating. If WERE you, though, I wouldn't buy games for a looooong time and save up that money you've been spending on it- gaming is not a poor man's hobby. Once you're financially secure you can buy all the games you wanted at very low prices since they're all old. You can borrow games until then.

CO_Hawke · « **Reply #92 on:** July 12, 2003, 08:03:08 PM »

Yeah Grey Ninja, you SHOULD borrow games instead of buying them for now. And yes I know it's hard to pass up some games especially with Fall just around the corner but how do you plan on playing them if you don't even have the energy to push the buttons on your controller. I had a similar problem too, I get $10 a week to buy food at school (or what you would call food: junk food), but I wanted to buy games instead like you, so I started saving up my money instead of eating, but after a while I realized that I had to be alert during class and not worrying that I might pass out for the lack of food. Hopefully I can get a job soon, then all my problems would be solved, so I recently went and applied at Rite Aid, they haven't called though...

Remember Grey Ninja, SURVIVAL FIRST.

Grey Ninja: if you need food that badly, gimme email or PM me your mailing address, and the next time i ship an ebay package (roughly a week from now), i'll send you some cheap ramen. Outside of tons of Maruchan, i've got a few Sapporo Ichiban. Maruchan's only good as a snack (i described the snack method a few threads back), or by spicing up with toasted sesame and vegetables. Ramen's not th e

mouse_clicker: i started to give the rundown on lactose intolerance in animals, but i decided to let it slide until the thread brought went in that direction. Good explanation though. The genetic defect part is debatable, but i'm not one to split hairs on something like that.

i remember reading soemthing about how when european settlers came with milk it really screwed up the Natives because they were severely lactose intolerant. I like looking things up..worth a read.

I went to the pawn shop to buy Skies of Arcadia (I had made up my mind), and I found out that it had already been sold.

Apparently it had been sold on the first day it was put on the shelf. So I went to Future Shop and bought an ethernet cable instead.

I just downloaded the latest update for America's Army, and I am about to install it.

I also went to Save On Foods and bought a bunch of granola, 2 pounds of cherries, and 3 packs of hot dogs. I am fine for food now, but thanks for your concern.

Time to show all the new people how a pro plays AA.

Anyone want to join me?

Sorry. You seriously can't help some people. I am one of those.

To be fair though, Pizza Pops cost too bloody much, and I don't have any pots or pans of my own right now. (Lost them in the move)
