So I came on the forum and went to see the latest posts and there therre's poor ol' xf with a bionicle box stuck on his head and poor ol' tanto going through whas posbl the bigest chalenge any man could face and God ony konsw whar everybody else id going throu an I reliz4 that this life sux and then you gret to dire.

But ther's that tho, you get to die, that could be a good thing if yuo hace thew right perspective.

Im a cRHISTIAN and I been saved so I blieve I;ll be alright. So I'm ready. Swing low sweet chariot, coming for to csrry me gome!

buck up little camper...life's like a fight (I know typical MA analogy) no matter how many times you fall (in a slump) all that matters is that you get back up. Even better...it's like the TBA-hit first, hit hard, and always answer back...to life's problems...or the FMA-don't just defend (against the burdens of daily life...) destruct the shit out of them and break them as you go in...break your problems into little bits agressively and stay on top.
and from JKD, take what you can, absorb what you will, and discard the rest (live life the way that makes you happy, throw the other shit away, cuz you don't need it.)

There ya go!

One of my favorite poems:

The grapes of my body can only become wine
After the winemaker tramples me.
I surrender my spirit like grapes to his trampling
So my inmost heart can blaze and dance with joy.
Although the grapes go on weeping blood and sobbing
"I cannot bear any more anguish, any more cruelty"
The trampler stuffs cotton in his ears:
"I am not working in ignorance
You can deny me if you want, you have every excuse,
But it is I who am the Master of this Work.
And when through my Passion you reach Perfection,
You will never be done praising my name." -Rumi

so being a christian makes you welcome death?

DUDE if your religion lets you die willingly it weakens you!! Snap out of it!!

don't you get it though Oso?


Life is great. I have some things that I doubt anybody here on the forums has.

I has scientific proof I have a brain
I know that my head is most likely the most expensive of everyone I know. (didn't need outside confirmation of this but it's always nice)




Life is 50% what you make it, and 50% how you take it.

From reading the book of five rings i'm already dead. So what is there to fear, what is pain but confirmation of a poor outcome to a choice.

Celebrate you could have only lived a few moments of life in pain and suffering. Instead you have lived and experienced and learned and have grown. (i've seen the pics, dude you have grown)

Life is a splendid gift, cherish it dearly. I think back on the last twelve years... been maried faithfully to my wife for almost ten of them (July 13th) She has been a blessing to my life that's for sure! The last seven years have been hard on her and the last four have been torment. Since the last diagnosis in the fall of last year her suffering has been unmeasurable but not once has she cursed life or God.

She has fought to survive every minute of the way and will continue until the bitter end.

There may be little or no hope in this life but faith in love and hope for eternal blessings to come...

Here's a quote from Anne Frank that I like very much, it helps me whenever I'm down:
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature." -Anne Frank

So, we had an "event" today with a terminally ill patient at the hospital. This patient was heavily sedated for a certain test and seems to have been sodomized!!!

I'm sick to my stomach just thinking about it now but it went unreported today when a thermometer sleeve was expelled from the patient's rectum... I intend to find out who took the "temperature" of this patient while she was unconscious if anyone... there should be a record of it if they took her vitals and temp for ANY REASON, any time, any where!

I think this might have happened in the MRI trailer away from the south wing the patient was supposed to be away from for an hour long test that took two hours!

I'm going to F*ing kill some sick MF in the AM folks! Actually I'm going to call an attorney, report the suspicious event to a supervisor and SUE the *Blank hospital for violating this patient...

I hope I'm wrong and I get embarrased for thinking this might have happened but something tells me there was a crime today that might go unpunished if I do nothing! To hell with THAT!!!

Now try to sleep, right? I'm burning up folks, this is so wrong!

I'm embarrased . I stumbled and weakened - momentarily.

Life IS good. Nobody ever promised easy.

So why do sh1tty things happen to bad people? Who among us here is not inspired by the strength, the courage, the love and the faith we have seen on this forum lately? The human bond formed and the mutual support among strangers in challenging times?

Boar; my faith doesn't cause me to welcome death, it just removes any fears and offers me the hope of a greater life, here and afterwards.

xF; God bless you. Life is Good and there are blessings to be counted.

stabby; yeah, I'm prone to bouts of melancholia, especially when my guard is down. Nothing more ridiculous than a fat ol' bear watering down the drinks with his tears. "...and if we laugh, 'tis only that we may not weep..."

and Tan01; find a hospice and palliative care facility. They are much much better than regular hospitals. Their hiring standards are much higher and the quality of care is much better. They have fewer patients per nurses and their protocol towards patient care is much different than regular hospitals where a nurse comes onto her shift and must perform a charted number of tasks for every patient on her floor within her shift.

Somebody probably working a too-tight schedule had to take vitals (including temp), didn't have time to wait for the patient to be awake (probably figured it was more convenient for the patient that way anyway) and in their haste didn't remember to make sure the thermometer sleeve was accounted for and properly disposed of afterwards. I'm not excusing it, I'm just saying that's the sorta thing that happens in hospitals. They hire their nursing staff fresh outta school (inexperienced), they don't pay them enough (unmotivated), and they swamp them with too much paperwork and too many patients (overworked).

My wife is an RN. She will not work in hospitals because of the outrages she's seen there. She has enforced a family policy that if any of us has to be in a hospital and is in any way in a state of helplessness, family members will take shifts and there will ALWAYS be someone with the patient. didn't need to do that with hospice, which she's also worked.

As I'm often pointing out, no matter how bad life might seem it could always be worse.
