GM's thread about nothing (72 Viewers)

[General Malaise]

Congrats YSR!!!! Also, if I get laid tonight it's because of you.

Remember your autocorrect text with your boss when you said "keep me coming" instead of "keep em coming" well while exchanging some friendly borderline flirty texts with a co-worker, I purposely texted "keep me coming" and then quickly followed with "oops, don't get excited, was supposed to be keep 'em coming, damn autocorrect" She replied "lol, whoa for a second I thought you were challenging me" From there many flirty texts filled with sexual innuendo (sp?) were exchanged and we might be meeting up for a drink or 2 tonight.

So here's to you YSR, the GMTAN's pregnant/wine drinking/wingman. I love you.

How about you 'go' in Scrabble, Valentino.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Your interests say "The hot Mrs. SLB", is that to say that there's another less hot Mrs. SLB that we don't know about somewhere? Is SLB a polygamist?

No wonder he knows so many people/is obviously hated by God.

[Bogart]

Heading up to hospital. My grandfather (not the one I ratted on about his pills, but my stepmom's dad) was just admitted to CCU. They found a brain tumor during a scan this evening.

I'm starting to feel like SLB.

This is now the fifth Christmas in a row we have had a family medical issue or death in the family. #### this holiday.

So a little update here.

Tests were run. Then transferred to another hospital and more tests were run. Results showed a large brain tumor and a large tumor in his lungs, connected in some way. The doctors' diagnosis was, "We will try one treatment of radiation, if it works, we will try another, if not, you need to say goodbye to your friends." Then they talked about the need for three weeks of rehab, before they can do the treatment. I spend several evenings with him as we discuss life, death, experiences, chances of survival, God, being a burden, etc. He hates the fact that nurses are having to wipe his ### and he's leaving streaks on his sheets.

Last night, he decides to refuse treatment. No rehab, no radiation, no surgery, no cutting. He is of sound mind right now, and wants to go out that way. Three to six months where he can clearly communicate with friends and family beats two to three years (maybe) of being a burden on someone as he can barely know what's going on. His daughter had cancer for most of her 30 years on Earth and he knows first hand how bad the "life" can be after attacking the cancer.

I've never been more proud of him, and I've been proud of his often. To basically tell cancer "#### You" and look at your life and be happy with it, and go out on your terms is pretty cool. Not everyone has the balls to do that. He had me cracking up when he said, "your Mom wants me to get well and spend my money going on a trip. But I don't want to go anywhere! I've been everywhere I want to go.......twice."

pretty cool bogart. not the situation, but his attitude. get him a couple strippers.

 

[T Bell]

Well, crap Bogart. sorry you're in the situation and you haven't seen the worst of it I'll wager, but I'm glad that your dad seems at peace with his decision and you've been there for him.

Godspeed to you both and everyone in your family.

Not all at once. It might be overwhelming.

 

[mr roboto]

Bogart,

My grandmother made the same decision. Leukemia. Drugs worked for a bit, but when it came down to 2 years of chemo or 3-6 months on non-chemo, she refused treatment. We supported her choice, and my grandfather and I were there with her in her final week while she slowly passed. It sucks, but it also taught me a lot about life - that merely living is not the point.

 

[General Malaise]

Well, crap Bogart. sorry you're in the situation and you haven't seen the worst of it I'll wager, but I'm glad that your dad seems at peace with his decision and you've been there for him.

wHich one of you is driving the Eminence user id

There has been a spate of either terrible aliases or really awful new members lately. Hard to choose the worst, but he's a strong contender.

Speaking of which, how the hell did you get pulled into that Kluwe thread, T Bell? Don't get me wrong--you're doing the lord's work in there, but eeeeesh.

pretty cool bogart. not the situation, but his attitude. get him a couple strippers.

I had wanted to ask how your various folks were doing. Sorry to hear this news, but can only imagine how proud you are of him. How is your ex's husband doing?

 

[T Bell]

Honestly it's entertaining as hell. The combination of lack of critical thought, closeted bigotry, and misunderstanding of how to put together a credible "case" is fun. I'm just playing it straight (no pun) but am still feeling like I'm tweaking some people.

I don't even get along that well with my current gf.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I'm almost 40, and the day I have to have dinner with my dad, my mom, and her boyfriend... while Mom and Dad are still married... I think I check into therapy.

Guys, I'm having some almost-buyer's remorse even before buying this house. I'm starting to think a reasonable person might move to Seattle and rent for a while before just jumping in to yet another home purchase. Yes?

 

[Bogart]

pretty cool bogart. not the situation, but his attitude. get him a couple strippers.

I had wanted to ask how your various folks were doing. Sorry to hear this news, but can only imagine how proud you are of him. How is your ex's husband doing?

Thanks everyone for their well wishes and thopras.

As for everyone else:

Ex's Husband: He is much better. He is home and working half days. He never did thank me for finding his cat. *******.

My Dad: He is out of the hospital and doing better, but still very weak so we are cautious. He had another small trip to the hospital, but home now. It's my understanding that the normal human has 14 units of blood and he has 10.5. The tiredness and lethargic feelings are coming from just not having enough blood, but they show he is making more. Luckily, no colon removal and no colostomy bags. Through all of this going on, I have made a habit of visiting the hospitals late. I skip all the family drama, get one on one time, and while convenient for me, makes me look like a hero to the rest of my family. I have gotten really good at sneaking into rooms and acting like I'm supposed to be there no matter how late. My Dad and I have had some great conversations during these visits. While my Grandfather is coming to grips with the fact that his life is coming to an end, my Dad is coming to grips that he is moving into the twilight of his life. Talk of retirement, not being able to do everything he use to do, in his words, "not being the Rock of the family anymore." It has been some amazing conversations the last couple of weeks.

My Pill-Popping Grandpa: He is home and recovering. Talked to my uncle yesterday and my uncle told me how my grandfather told him all about the hospital finding his pills, and he has no idea how it happened.
