You are not allergic to fluorescent lights. The compact fluorescents
at my house did not make you exhausted for a week. I know your friend
the self-taught nutri-tionist said so, but that’s bullshit. As in, not
true.
You’re also not exhausted from grapefruit, sunlight, the breeze, or
the electric fields from all those nasty power lines. All the magnets,
royal jelly, and vitamin pills in the world won’t cure your exhaustion.
I’ll give you a hint: You might want to rethink your habit of sleeping
till noon, porking a pint of ice cream for “breakfast,” and then
lolling on the couch all day. Your complete lack of physical movement
is why your back hurts, too.
You do not need more rest. You need to get your wide butt off that
couch. Have you noticed how you can’t walk around the block anymore? Do
you even care? Well, you might want to think it over. Because I won’t
be your personal slave after you pig yourself into a wheelchair. Have a
nice dotage. 
yawn
Hehehehe. Oink.
Y’know, whoever is meant to read this probably doesn’t have the energy to pick up a copy of The Stranger anyway.
Wow, thank god this is anonymous. I couldn’t imagine the reprercussions of actually saying something like this to someone’s face. Whew!
Has this person seen a real doctor? That kind of sounds like a medical condition…
I have wanted to tell so many people this! God everyone is sick these days.
Wow…just like my old roommate. She wasn’t really sick either, but being “sick” was sure as hell easier than quitting smoking, eating properly and getting some exercise.
” Me want food!”
If someone constantly complains of exhaustion, there might be something behind that. Has this person seen a doctor? Maybe they have a medical condition, like someone suggested above. He/she may be depressed from what you describe. I’m sure there’s some people in the world who would call me “lazy” when I’m severely depressed. Luckily, unlike the person you describe, the people in my life are for the most part very supportive.
Flourescent lights make me vomit, especially if they flicker. They cause migraines for many.
Sounds like depression.
If they really are sick, they should get off thier fat ass and do something about it. I can just see someone whining and complaining about the “harsh” lights. gimme a break.
Good on ya! Why are so many people so goddamn hesitant to go speak to a real doctor about their health these days?! Oh wait…health care isn’t free for you guys.
Good on Anonymous – tell this to Lazy’s face and get some sense into him/her
This is the best I, Anonymous is getting these days? What happened to the pig fuckers, poo flingers and black nationalists?
I used to be like the accused slob (although I never allowed myself to get fat) I really WAS sick all the time…like…I couldn’t stand for long. I was DEPRESSED,and I KNEW it. So I found an outdoor sport (complete with a couple new friends) I liked, and guess what….I’m not sick or depressed anymore.
And FYI, compact florescent lights are the closest thing to sunlight there is, otherwise professional aquarists wouldn’t use them to grow coral, which needs very pure UBV rays. So thinking they make you worse is bullshit. If anything they’d make you better by helping you produce more vitamin D3. I do feel bad for people who are depressed and sick, but I have no sympathy for those who have no motivation to fix it.
OMG! I,ANON has fallen off the cliff again. You were on the right track for a minute,and lost it. If this is a real letter, the subject is trying to “work” their way to a “fat check” which is for the uninformed and i quote “any person over 300 pounds is to be considered disabled, and unable to work….” thus free money to sit, and get fat on welfare while waiting for SSI disability. Hint for I,ANON give us story’s about apologys for giving stinky hitler’s (see dirty sanchez), wiping your ass with the cat, borrowing sex toy’s, and not washing them, vaginal manipulation after playing with dirty dog’s, and not washing our hands, peeing in your gas tank, downloading goat porn on your computer while you were asleep, anything but this crap mmmmk?
I’d say this person’s problem is that they need to see a real doctor instead of listening to some new age quacks, combined with a dearth of friends who can identify the real problem and tell them to their face.
I mean, just to elaborate, tomorrow I’m going to drink radioactive iodine to completely destroy my thyroid which has been hyperactive due to grave’s disease.
This condition has left me completely sapped of energy and disabled by exhaustion, ravenously hungry, sleeping as late as I can whenever I can.
This condition has led to a lot of persecution from my supervisor (though not employer) because I technically look ok even though this would have been a fatal condition for me had I never been correctly diagnosed. Thank goodness for the FMLA protecting my job while I’m treated.
But, back to the person in question, not everyone can afford a real doctor and/or some people are just idiots and suspect magnets and toxins and believe in royal jelly cures.
Telling this person that the new agey crap is bogus would be a huge favor. Telling this person that they are just a lazy slob will drive him or her back to these quacks because they are the only people taking the ailment seriously even if their medical advice is f*cked.
There’s a new DSM diagnosis out there “orthorexia” being overly concerned about eating “the right food” I am a little exhausted myself keeping up on the constantly lengthening list of a friend’s food allergies, to which items are occasionally added in mid-meal on the grounds that she is “sure she’s allergic to it”. I think she may be down to be only being able to eat certain kinds of cucumber. Which makes her weight gain a little difficult to understand.
wow, I wonder if this person is eventually going to “grow” into the couch?
Hello, modern America!
I have to bring sunglasses in many different supermarkets, just in case their fluorescents are too bright. I get migraines and vomit as well.
These are getting worse.
I, Anonymous is reaaaaally reaching here. “I love to fuck new women” and “You’re fat and lazy” are the best you guys can come up with? Seriously?
Somebody needs a hug.
who the hell cares if they ‘might need to see a doctor’ if you don’t have the common sense to go see one instead of whine and make excuses.. then by all means.. eat yourself to death & get the hell out of the health care system so my tax dollars quit supporting your excuse making lazy ass
Awesome.
There are so many fucking hypochondriacs in this world it makes me sick. Stop whining! Who cares if it is depression or anything else?! If you have an issue, it doesn’t solve itself by you sitting on your ass and whimpering about it. I HATE dealing with people like this. They should all go live on an island together.
Someone needs to google chronic fatigue syndrome, stat!
Or google chronic fart syndrome . . . like my roomates!
i agree. people with flouresent lights shouldn’t throw stones.
Insomnia could cause people to sleep till noon, overeat (because lack of sleep can do that as recent research has shown) and be too tired to exercise. Many medical conditions can cause insomnia or could cause people to get poor quality sleep such as sleep apnea. Lyme disease, depression or thyroid disorder could also be culprits. Although you are absolutely right that this person needs to eat right, find a way to get a normal sleep schedule, and gradually start an exercise program that doesn’t mean that they aren’t sick. This person needs to quit seeing the nutritionist and start seeing a real doctor.
Whoooooaaaaa….
so many out there seem to be “sick” these days!….
Could this person have fibro-mialgia? Constant feelings of exhaustion are among the common symptoms.
If that person goes to the right doctor, they can get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and then collect disability payments for life!
SNORE! Good gracious! Sleeper. Sounds like 3/4 of the dead-beats I rent to. If you’re in PDX or COrvallis and looking for a place, look me up. I have 10 rentals *right now* for the right people.
Compact florescent lights to save energy are not the same as the tube florescents with the blink that causes migraines – FYI
Broken Thyroid!!
No one had chronic fatigue syndrome (which seems to effect almost exclusively white middle to upper class women with a college education according to the CDC) 100 years ago. They were just garden variety lazy or if they actually were tired it was because they were overworked, not because they were on the couch all day.
Regardless of whether or not the intended recipient of this missive actually reads it, it probably won’t do much good, but I suspect he *is* sick, just not from something that can be cured by vitamins, magnets or power breakfasts, for that matter.
Humans are a generally industrius species. It takes a certain amount if internal apathy to be lulled into a sedentary lifestyle of the level implied. One is not inclined towards a diet of solely ice cream or activity limited to a sofa unless some sort of dysfunction is involved.
If the sorry sod was obviously able to find the energy for his golf games or for treks to the pub, one might be able to infer a resistance to current duties, or a domestic relationship issue, but if he’s impersonating a slug all the time, that implies a neurological problem or a hormone imbalance, but definately something that requires medical intervention. He doesn’t need a straighten-up-and-fly-right speech. He needs a doctor.
Anyone who is thinking about renting from Kip Schoning and becoming one of his “dead beat renters”, make sure to google him and read up. Don’t miss the series in the Schoning real estate “empire” the Corvallis papers!
Kip Schoning is well know in Benton and Marion Counties for stealing from the poor and giving to himself.
He latest scam is renting houses he has defaulted on that he knows are about to be foreclosed. He collects first and last plus a hefty deposit and the rented gets a 30 day notice right after moving in… the last months rent and deposit? They are shit out of luck and will have to go to small claims court. Schoning will not bother showing up as he is so busy and important-good luck getting money back from him or his lovely wife or Bula reality.
Schoning has lost 20 properties and has another 40 or so in foreclosure. If he gets just $2,000.00 more out of each house that’s $80,000.00.
Kip pretends this is chump change but that does not keep him from scamming on low income families and stealing every last cent he can.
Schoning is the last person on earth that should be blogging his judgments about others in public forums. He is a bottom feeding scum bag with the morals and integrity of a dog turd.
WARNING ABOUT RENTING FROM KIP SCHONING! Just google this piece of shit’s name. He is not just a nameless, faceless ass hole on the internet, he is an actually ass hole even in person… be sure to read the series about the Schoning real estate “empire” in the Corvallis newspaper…
Kip, Right now you are renting your houses (actually hovels) to unsuspecting low income families knowing full well that the properties are in foreclosure and scheduled for auction. You collect first and last months rent plus a hefty deposit (more if the family has pets). In a couple of weeks families get evicted when the house is auctioned but you, your skanky wife and your sham business, Bula Reality, pocket the last months rent and all the deposit money. Your kids must be so very proud of both of you!
With about 40 more foreclosures coming up for auction you should be able to live it up on your stolen cash! Why not visit lots more Seattle eateries and bars so you can give your “expert” reviews of their food and service? We are all on pins and needles to know what you think opinion matter so much to all of us. Evey day, I check to see what Kip Schoning is thinking about or doing today! It’s the high point of my entire existance!
I don’t know what will happen do when you are in a shelter and do not have access to a PC and have to hock your iPhone for fast food money. That dollar menu is a real budget stretcher! I hope some “minimum wage loser” spits, pisses and shits in you food and then tosses some insect bits in for good measure.
Seriously, can you actually afford the eat in places that don’t have a drive thru?
Easy way to figure out if they are just lazy: tell them you won’t support their couch-surfing ass unless they go to an actual doctor to get these problems checked out. If they are willing to wear magnetic bracelets but not take a chance on a real doc? Fuck ’em.
Seems like at least every other “I, Anonymous” is about someone being fat.
This is kind of a lame one. Too passive-aggressive, but that’s anonymous people…and Seattle, for that matter.
@gator360: “And FYI, compact florescent lights are the closest thing to sunlight there is, otherwise professional aquarists wouldn’t use them to grow coral, which needs very pure UBV rays.”
Fluorescent bulbs are a lot different from sunlight. They only emit a few different wavelengths instead of a continuous range. You can actually see this through a diffraction grating. Newer CFLs are loads better than the old tubular type, but still work the same way. Plants and coral are also selective about which types of light they get – sunlight also gets filtered by seawater before it hits coral.
And if fluorescents were like sunlight because the UVB was the same, you’d get sunburns from regular fluorescent bulbs. I don’t think that ever happens.
