Fuck. Sorry to hear, Sparkletarte. I went through something similar with a loved one. My thoughts are with your brother and hoping for the best.

Sadly, Joel, there was. I respect you which is why I have no idea why you would vote for this man. I understand well the tenets of a conservative political party however I cannot for the life of me understand who would vote for a man so corrupt, so devoid of moral character.
You're religious? Great, GW doesn't even go to church. Fucking Bill Clinton went to church!
You want economic health? GW is the only president since Hoover to preside over a net LOSS OF JOBS in his 4-year tenure. He turned a slight budget surplus into a phenomenal deficit.
You want security? Alienating your allies while killing women and children in impoverished Middle-Eastern countries doesn't seem like a very good way to keep Americans safe. Neither does pissing on the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.
And I guess anyone who would vote for Bush just doesn't give a flying FUCK about the environment.

Fuck... feel a little silly intruding on a hep-c conversation for this, but i just wanted to say goodbye for a little while.
I seem to be getting into a lot of conflicts with people i really care about on this boards. I got to thinking and realised that the only real common denominator is me. So i'm gonna head off of the BBS for a while, take a break, and stop causing trouble here.
Still love ya all, and i'll miss you. And hell, knowing me, i'll be back in an hour. addict!!!
take care of yourselves, and each other.

Fuck, Rian, we'll miss your posts. Come back to us soon!
Joel, my apologies -- you've made it clear that you're a Republican, but I don't ever recall you saying that you felt divided over your political affiliation. My conclusion was that you would be supporting your party's candidate. You may find this article interesting.
And FUCK, yeah, that's how I feel about that big red swath in the middle of that map. :-(

Ya know. My mother was raised republican. She didn't "cross over" until she moved to Texas in the 60s and was represented by G.H.W. Bush. (Yes, she wore "Defoliate Bush" sign to a Vietnam war protest.) Republicans were quite alright from Lincoln to Rooseveldt and even after the nationals sold thier souls to the corporations there were still resonable local and statewide ones, depending on area. Maybe there are sill reasonable ones in Illinois, but out here in California they are just rabid and scary. So I try to have a complicated view of the party. Still, when my mom was growing up, being a republican and a union member was in no way a contradiction. This is no longer true, as far as I know.Simply Joel wrote:y'all can make any rude comments you want about Republicans...theCryptofishist wrote:Almost read that as "skewers republicans" F*ckn wish fulfillment.stuart wrote:f*cking chin up alpha

Sorry, Joel- I was just telling you I respect you to get you in the fucking sack. And I lie about that whole unmarried thing and I won't call you in the morning.Simply Joel wrote:now i am blushing.... or is my head ready to explode?theCryptofishist wrote:And I've said it before, Joel.

Now there folks, isn't that more along the lines of the 'fuck' thread? I now return you to your regularly scheduled heckling.

oh fuck, leave for a day and the place fucking goes to hell.
Fucking hernia surgery fucking hurts, had it yesterday and came home this morning. I can barely move. Apparently my internal sutures from the hemicolectomy in January didn't heal or hold, not one. My guts were spilling out insde of me from pelvis to whatever the fuck is at the top. Now there's a mesh panel inside holding things in, but I am so fucking tener and sore I could scream.
And fuck, wow, I'd have a longer more coherent reply, but even dropping in here is nuts. wow Rian, Wow sparkle, liver cancer, wow wow wow. oh fucking wow generally.
Gentle hugs for all.
(see what happens when the percocet kicks in?)

Geez Anti M, it sure sounds like you are going through the wringer! That fucking sucks, but way to keep on keeping on. (((((Anti M)))))
Thanks for the well wishes for my relations. I talked to my bro about it last night and I feel better about the whole thing. They are just keeping on keeping on too. Hopefully these awful meds work and she's done in another 6 weeks and hopefully that's it. Amazing, she's been on the meds for at least 10 months and hasn't told any of us nor has my brother. What a lot to hold on to, but they're okay with it, so, okay.
Still fucking dealing with mortgage companies. Still feeling not much support from my parental units. Feel like eveyone else but them thinks I do a good job. They seem to think I'm going to tank anyday (after 6 years...). Can't seem to do good enough for them. Sucks. But they'll make it all okay if they agree to co-sign tonight or tomorrow. If not, I'm left wondering just what kind of parents I have, that seem to have no faith in me- tell me I should just close my business, and won't help me take steps to improve it. At least I finally told my mom last night that they are the only ones that think I am craptastic at what I do- at least I get support from everyone else.
Sigh. Fuck.
