Master Obit 705 Posted June 17 Seeing a really close friend for the first time in a few weeks tomorrow - he's been on holiday. You don't realise how much you truly love someone until you don't see them for a few weeks and find yourself counting down the days until you can go out with them again. Got a bit of a thing for him too, so working on convincing him that I'm a reasonably adequate choice of partner. On a completely unrelated note, has anyone got any drugs strong enough to get someone to agree to anything you say? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I pined for my close friend for ten years before he finally did what I never had the bottle to do. Ten years! All that time he let me tear myself to shreds on the inside and later shamble from one completely half-hearted relationship to the next, all because he himself was doing the world's longest run-up. He couldn't even be bothered to drug me (not that he'd have needed to). I dunno why I put up with the selfish bastard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I do not succeed within this tax year, I will be resorting to more frowned-upon techniques including, but not limited to, blackmail; hypnotism; drugs; bribery and mass elimination of alternative candidates.

MortalCaso 1,560 Posted June 20 Not sure the best place to post this...debated using the 'Hospitalized' thread as a joke. My health isn't well at the moment. Turns out I have quite a bit of damage to my heart. Have some genetic history of that, but I'm about 20 years too early. My breathing started taking a turn for the worse a couple days ago and it's...not great. Whether I make it through this current sickness or not, my doc gave me a timeline that will make the sunrises I see more meaningful. Just wanted to post it somewhere so if I disappear off the website you might have an idea what's happened. I don't have much family anymore and my career isolates me. I've found comfort here. I may be delusional or demented, but this site has made me quite happy. Anywho, if I could have one wish it'd be that someone reading this has a happy day. Go for a walk or call a family member. Eat a nice crumpet or whatever you Brits do. I'm not twisted enough to think I'll be remembered like most posted on here, but hopefully I can be granted the knowledge of someone else having a nice time, no matter how short or impacting, due to me. This isn't goodbye...I don't think. Either way, cheers to a bunch of random people! 4 2 20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheDeathofBrian 2 Posted June 20 I often wonder what it would be like being famous enough to find yourself mentioned on here... and how people might feel about you.. I guess it would be pretty awful if (as far as you were aware) you didn't think you was particularly ill... All the best MortalCaso doubt there is much anyone could say that would make you better, but I'm off for some traditional fish' n' chips, curry sauce and warm lager ready for the boring footie game starting soon... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also people want to be around someone who makes them feel good about themselves. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Great Uncle Bulgaria 1,232 Posted June 20 Very sorry to hear this. I know a couple of people who were given 6 months and are still here 15-20 years later, so Drs do get these things wrong sometimes. Keep smiling. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AstroKat 386 Posted June 20 @MortalCaso I'm so sorry to read about your heart troubles. As someone with heart issues myself I know that if you take care of yourself and take all the drugs, there's a good chance you can outlive the doctor's expectations. Don't forget to find some joy in every day. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
