Warbler

The Cardinals are my team, so I’m just pretending it’s 5 or 10 years ago…

I’d like to pretend it is either 8 or 36 years ago.

The Cubs win the pennant. Congrads, Frink. Enjoy.

I just lost the 8th person close to me this year, the 4th directly linked to cancer.

I’m in complete shock!

I’m very sorry to hear that. You have my sympathies and condolences and will be in my thoughts and prayers.

That is not the Bartman I was referring to.

So Frink, I take it that for game 6, Billy Goats will get in for free and Bartman is banned, right?

I just recently started poking around Off Topic again for the first time in a long while and saw the news that your dad passed away Warbler. I just wanted to let you know how sorry I am for your loss, and to let you know you’re in my thoughts.

Thankyou. I appreciate it.

Frink, it would seem the curse of the billy goat is alive and well.

I know this is probably going to make me sound stupid, but mass bleaching?

doubleKO said:

That “obituary” is misleading and semi-fictional. The reef is in bad shape to be sure, but it is not completely dead by any means. The majority of bleaching occurred at the far north end and surveys indicate that about 22% of the coral is dead. Many scientists have said that it may be too late to save the reef, but it has certainly not been “pronounced dead”.

well if about 22% of the coral is dead, that logically means 78% of the coral is still alive. Look at it that way.

We visited my Father’s grave for the first time since the funeral today. We planted some grass seed. We also picked out a grave marker. It was hard to believe and difficult to think that my father was six feet below where I was standing out there today. It just still seems so surreal.

thank you, Jetrell Fo.

thankyou, doubleKO.

that is what and I doing as well as being there for Mom. He wasn’t able to say it at the end, but I know if Dad could have, he would have told me to take care of Mom. I will try my best to do that.

I think I am doing about as well as one can do under the circumstances. But I know this is grieving process is going to be long and difficult. It is not something I can just get over.

I really do appreciate all the support here.

Possessed said:

That’s what I think too.

You probably are. Just be open to seeking medical attention if you need to.

Tyrphanax said:

Everyone’s pain is legitimate. I hope you feel better, man. Depression is a shitty thing.

Just keep doing what you love, don’t let it take control.

I agree with this 100%. Possessed, you shouldn’t feel bad about talking about your problems here one bit. I don’t consider it whining at all.

Possessed said:

I assume I’m fine anyway. Lol. I didn’t go to a hospital or get checked out or anything. My hands are bruised and cut up cuz the airbag hit them as it came out. Chest and stomach bruised and slightly sore but not bad. Most burdensome at this point is my ears have been ringing ever since impact, but its slowly but steadily getting quieter. I didn’t hit my head on anything so no worries of concussion. Will probably feel worse tomorrow.

I would strongly advise getting yourself checked out. Sometimes it takes time for symptoms to start showing. It is possible you have something seriously wrong and not know it right now. According to this:

ringing in the ears is a possible sign of concussion.

I’m sorry it took so for me to respond here. I was so busy with the Politics thread, that I hadn’t been checking this thread. Thankyou all for kind words and thoughts. Right now, although it is very very difficult, I am doing ok right now. I am at least glad that I got as much time with him as I did. I know there are people who get a lot less time with their father.

Sorry to hear of your accident, Possessed. I hope everything turns out ok for you. I am glad that it seems like you are ok. It sounds like you could have been very seriously injured.

Jetrell Fo, I will pray for your need, whatever it is, it is known to God.

Mike, I am sorry to hear of Mother’s friend husband’s passing. I know it must be very difficult for the family. I’ll be praying for them.

Thankyou.

Today would have been my Parents’ 49th wedding anniversary. 😦

good to hear you are not suicidal, but still sorry to hear you are down.

Life is joyless and I wish it was over.

Listen to what Lord Haseo said. Also remember this. Your family will have to deal with your passing. Trust me, it is not easy to deal with the passing of a family member. I know of what I speak. Whatever your problems are, suicide is not the answer.

ok, I’ll try that.
