I spent months talking with people for my sweet hubby.
Hotline, counselors, VA suicide watch people, his VA doctor, friends...
They all said the same thing, to no avail. FUCK FUCK FUCK.
Basically, 'protect yourself.'

AntiM, hopefully, because this friend called the hotline himself, he will be open to help...
BEST OF LUCK!!!! I'm rooting for him...

(((((AntiM))))) You've done what you can do. I know it fucking sucks, but now all you can do it let it go. Trust that he is calling the fucking hotline and that they will help him get some fucking help.

And know that we're fucking here for you should you fucking need us.

I may look into a solar charging kit maybe from Harbor freight to see if it can generate enough power to run an bike. Not sure since I'm just now starting the planning for this. The e-bike kits are about $500. I still have a lot of research to do so let's hope I heal in time to do my own pedaling. Funny how life throws you a curveball right when you weren't expecting it. I'm off crutches and using just a cane now and haven't had a pain pill yet today so that says a lot for me.

check out the e-bike at the fucking wallyworld (bigboxstore) website... got it for my wife to help her get out to greeters ..... 8) 8) 8):
The important part about fucking ebikes are the fucking batteries, also they are the most fucking expensive, sometimes more so than the fucking motors. Here are two good Canadian websites who can ship to you. They have good information on their pages.

ebikes - Canada
Golden Motor - Canada

Get a front wheel kit, then you can swap frames easier later if you want. It is also a lot easier to install. Don't forget to install torque arms to keep your front wheel in your forks.

Fuck! My complain doesn't seem nearly as much of a fuck after reading AntiM's Fuck...hope everything is alright AntiM

My little fuck is I am pretty sure my BF is not going to start working on the lights for our night time clothing any time soon so either I give up on having them or make them myself...however, there is not much info about EL-Tape on the Glowies/Blinkies/Lights sticky so I'm not even sure where to start FUCK

Thanks MDF. I've seen those and my only concern in going ahead with just those is that since what I need to use is EL-tape which is somewhat different than EL-wire I may miss a step and ruin the very expensive tape :|

Ygrrr I've spent most of it on getting him to work on the monkey hut and that is finally almost ready. I don't want to be a nag :(

Quit nagging then :lol: just start creating wildly with the tape for his costume and then inform him sadly that you don't think it works anymore.

And sorry but, browsing the instructables pages led me to further links for all kinds of stuff, including el-tape creations, sorry that content is blocked here at my work but I know I saw you-tubes for connecting the drivers & such, is that what you are trying to do?

edited to add: fuck, okay twice 8) though really I do not give a fuck today :lol:

Fuck! I was walking the dogs in the park near us and found 2 skinny, dirty, matted little kittens about 3 months old. There are feral cats down by the creek but the first time i've seen kittens. We live in a semi rural neighborhood and if left alone they'd either be eaten by coyotes or suffer torture from the sadistic children that live near there. I've seen disembowled dead cats enough to know not all of them are angels. Little bastards. Needless to say, I dragged them home. Bless the beau for putting up with my tendancies to take in strays. Now, I need to find them homes, take them to the vet, etc, etc. and that is going to eat into my Burn money. The timing sucks. We already have 3 full grown cats plus our 3 dogs. Have already posted them on my FB page. Guess I'll be calling all the cat rescue places today. Fuck, I don't need this. :x

Fuck!
I got burned the other day by what I thought was going to be a loving and beautiful encounter.
I couldn't have been more wrong. Fuck. I don't really want to go into the details here. I always seem to wear my heart on my sleeve and don't want to blather all over the board again and wreck everyone's day with my emotional pollution. I wrote about it on the blog where I feel a little anonymity can be had without bringing everyone down...
The entry is dated August 3rd in case this is seen in the future.

Fuck - cable is down at home so no internet or tv.

Fucking cable company employees are on a work slowdown because their contract is about to expire.

They won't even give us a morning or afternoon appointment (unless we wait 3 weeks) - so one of us has to take the whole fucking day off work to get it fixed.

Think I may be switching back to the previous fucked up cable company after this.
