By NiceGuy Go To PostWanted to publicly laugh at someone's death, not gonna diss him when he's dead.
Help me compute.
Wanted to but ultimately didn't, clap for me, this is growth.
Didn't because signing up was too much of a pain in the arse 😑
Going to my cousin's funeral on Tuesday (landing Saturday night), staying with my aunt and uncle in Bowie until February 1st. Might end up trying to find a cheap hotel if I think I'm getting under their feet, will be stressful enough for them without having to house me and my mum for more than a week.
Cousin's brother has been told to stay away from the funeral, which is just depressing to think about. Can't imagine any of me and my brothers having such a nuclear fallout with eachother or my parents that it wouldn't even be bridged by one of us dying.
Apparently there's a cremation ceremony or something on Monday which I didn't know was a thing, but I've never been to a particularly religious Protestant funeral before. Anyone got any experience of that?

I'm in Martinique with my wife, what a beautiful island Jesus Christ. Think only Hawaii edges it. I'll post some pics later.
Just had to have my cat put down, been my best friend for 17 years. She had a blood clot that lodged in her lower spine at some point today, Mum got home to find her unable to use her back legs and in a state. Managed to get to the vets in time to be with her when they did it, held her paw as she went.
I'm devastated.

:( sorry for your loss dude
I think my mother-in-law might have cancer.
A few months ago she did a colonoscopy and the doctor saw a small mass so he sent her for more tests. She did an endoscopy two days ago and yesterday she got a call back from him and I overheard that she has to do 2 more tests. She also seems off, like she's keeping something secret.
I don't want to ask cuz I don't want to know. I already slipped up and told my wife about the original colonoscopy results. It was so long ago I thought her mother had told her about it and that it was nothing. When my wife asked her, she lied to her about the results. My wife under normal circumstances would not be able to handle that news, let alone being pregnant on top of that.
I just have this feeling that she does, and its miserable. It would absolutely crush my wife, especially since she just found out her best friends mom has stage 4 pancreatic cancer and has 1 month to live

@King Rob
I'd be mad if I had something and someone else leaked it beforehand. Let them handle it maybe you're jumping into conclusions?

If she does have it hopefully they caught it early, my auntie had colon cancer but they found it really early and she's in remission.
Niceguy, cats are great so condolences.

By Yurtlicious Go To Postbut guys its perfect blue's birthdayðŸ˜I could be, and I hope I am. I picked her up the day of her colonoscopy and I know what the results were cuz she told me, and when my wife asked her about it, she lied. I didn't say anything cuz it's not my place.

She just hasn't been herself lately, but like you said, I hope I am just jumping to conclusions.
She just doesn't want her to worry about *anything*, I mean you said she worries a lot and she's pregnant no?
How's the results? Perfect everything is fine focus on your pregnancy
You know what I mean?

Man, Yurt, you'd be surprised how many old heads are going through something like that and then their family only finds out 3 days before they die. It only leads to anger and confusion.
I’m sorry to hear, Hitch. You’ve had a rough go of it lately. 😔
By Yurtlicious Go To Postbut guys its perfect blue's birthdayðŸ˜Lol not as important, but I appreciate it
By reilo Go To PostMan, Yurt, you'd be surprised how many old heads are going through something like that and then their family only finds out 3 days before they die. It only leads to anger and confusion.Yeah older/dying people often don't want their family to see the decline/see them like that. And I get their logic, however, I've seen them on their death bed anyways after a phone call from someone else and it's even more of a shock.
I also had plenty of fam that just straight up refused to see doctors ever until we caught them stroking out or they were clearly in fucked up pain/looked crazy pale and took them to the ER or called an ambo ourselves.
My dad was ill for a while and didn’t want to see a doctor (he was born in the 40s). His pancreas burst during the middle of the night and my mum found him dead in the kitchen.
Condolences mate, I too fear the day I'll need to say goodbye to my Feline friends but 17 years of love is a blessing aswell.
By Perfect Blue Go To Post31 today lads, phewheyy happy birthday man!

A few days on I've started to think of it as something of a blessing. It was slow enough to be with her at the end, and quick enough that she didn't have to endure pain for weeks or months. If it had happened even a day later it would have been a complete nightmare, and while I'd have liked to have years more it was never going to happen. What she had is called a saddle thrombosis, and she had two of the issues that can cause it even when medicated, hyperthyroidism and a heart murmur.
Still hit me like a tonne of bricks though when she didn't come to the door to meet me.
I'm supposed to be sleeping right now for today's funeral, it just isn't happening though and it's got nothing to do with jetlag. My mind is racing with grief, regret, fear and a million and one things I want to say to the family but will almost certainly bottle and wish I'd done it for the rest of my life. Every time I've arrived somewhere since arriving here, or someone has come through the door, there's been a split second where I've expected to see my cousin.
I've never had to say goodbye to anyone where I hadn't already more or less come to terms with them dying before it happened, and I'm not even close to being ready to do it.
Really do wish I was religious sometimes. When I was a kid I'd spend entire nights worrying about there being nothing after I die, now it just makes me sad to think that there's nothing for everyone else.
Spent Saturday night until now in a mcmansion owned by my aunt's friend (practically family) since it's closer to the church than my aunt's house, I love it here tbh. It's not too gaudy from the outside, and it had everything you could possibly want inside. Has a livable basement that's bigger than my flat as well, complete with pool table and 65" TV. Three living rooms and three dining tables is a bit overkill though. There's a swimming pool out back too with a decent sized barbecue next to it.
Uncle's family came over to say hello before the day of the service, completely lost track of who is who. Ended up spending most of the time chatting to a 75 year old about the NFL (it's surprising how much trivia I know from second captains and pure zeitgeist), and his 50 year old wife about her native Venezuela. Still blows my mind how long a car journey has to be over here to be considered long. Three hours seems to be a piece of piss, in the UK you only drive three hours if it's your job or if you're going on holiday.
I'm in Upper Marlboro at the moment, spending the rest of the week in Bowie, then driving down to Lynchburg for the weekend since that's where my cousin's church is and they'll be doing a short service there as well.

Sometimes Sunday used to feel a lot worse to me than just being at school or work. Could spend hours doing fuck all but being annoyed that the weekend was almost over, especially when shite like antiques roadshow, songs of praise and last of the summer wine was on TV.
Forgot to mention that we could see the northern lights out of the opposite windows as we passed Iceland, but I didn't get to have a proper look. What a stunning colour.

By Call Sign: Apollo Go To PostWoke up sadI hope you go to sleep happy
By DY_nasty Go To Postjust realized i ripped my pants. praying to god it only happened when i got home
Where’s the rip? 😂
groin towards the back. I want to think I'd have felt my cheeks flapping in the wind but who knows lol
That happened to me one time while I was free ballin’ in slacks and it was the last time I freeballed slacks lol
Didn't expect to be told I'm going to hell at the arse-end of the service. Two of the pastors seemed nice, the white one who headed it was a bit fire-and-brimstone.
But weird how proud Marines seem of hazing people, and the subsequent thinly veiled threats.

Marines think everyone is going to hell lol. And they only threaten you if they like you. Usually its just disgusted indifference or actual violence.
By DY_nasty Go To PostMarines think everyone is going to hell lol. And they only threaten you if they like you. Usually its just disgusted indifference or actual violence.Oh this was the pastor.
It was largely religious scripture and references for most of it, not what I'd want for myself but what my cousin would have wanted. Then in the closing statement it's 'those who accepted Jesus into their hearts had eternity in heaven, those who did not eternal damnation.'
Never even knew my cousin was that devout really, she never once pushed her beliefs on anyone in my company at least.
By FortuneFaded Go To PostMy dad was ill for a while and didn’t want to see a doctor (he was born in the 40s). His pancreas burst during the middle of the night and my mum found him dead in the kitchen.my pops is the same. He didn't pass, but he didn't get the help he needed and now his kidneys are shot. He needs dialysis 3 times a week.
