High and Wide Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I dislike saturdays. Why might you ask? It divides my weekend into Friday night, and sunday. I work 2-12 saturdays and its really starting to blow. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-Dreamer Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Life is a bitch, so after all the positive things these week it decided to put a downer on it by taking my grandfather to hospital and probably soon from this world. Appearently he had a heart attack this week without telling anyone and all organs are in bad condition, seems like it will be any day now. Well, he had a long life and actually said for years that he doesn't want to live anymore (since my grandmother died), still a sad thing obviously.

My Grandpa died on Wednesday and it was sad but it was also nice seeing him finally move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Meh, old people die. My Grandpa died on Wednesday and it was sad but it was also nice seeing him finally move on. Well, death is a touchy subject of course, but I agree. If people feel it was time to move on and they had a good life, death is not just sad, it can be a relief.

Keirik Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 sorry to hear about that H-D. You know we're all here for ya if you ever need to talk and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Dreamer Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Thanks K, but I am fine. It seems to be his time, he is over 80 years old and talked about wanting to go on for years now. He's hut himself from the world and doesn't really try to communicate any more (also for years now), not even with us. I visited him sometimes the past month to bring him food and such and it was always the same. I think the only thing that's really left to wish for is an end in peace without pain.

LindG1000 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Just be thankful that it will be quick. My grandmother dragged out for 28 months - it was heartbreaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Dreamer Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Yeah, one of my grandmothers (died back in 1986) had a rare disease that degenerated her muscles, basically it was a dieing over months too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedzNYRBlue Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Jimmy - so sorry to hear about your Grandfather. :( H-D - sorry to hear about your Grandfather, too. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Dreamer Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Thank you. He is a stubborn guy, appearently he tried to run from the hospital last night. Not so easy, considering he has only one leg since 1945 (he has an artificial leg that he takes of for the night). Luckily, the other persons in his room called the nurses before he made it out of the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedzNYRBlue Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I know I shouldn't laugh H-D, but that visual had me chuckling. :D Your Grandfather sounds like my Grandmother - fiesty til the end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Dreamer Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Oh it had me smiling a bit. He won't give in and change till the end. He also didn't allow the doctors to check on his old leg wound, claiming that todays doctors have no idea how to treat a war injury :D (when all the doctors back than did, was cut of everything until they thought it was enough) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Whats it on this time? Deadline is Thursday afternoon, 5000 words on Timothy McVeigh and the aftermath of the OKC bombing. It's in Dutch this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High and Wide Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Dude - I owe you an apology. I never got a chance to read your thesis and I feel absolutely terrible. This. Honestly thought i'd have had the chance last weekend to read it, didn't get around to it. I know its after the fact, but I read your intro and into the first example and its great. I think you'll have no problem with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 No problem guys. I have offered to read things too and never to got to it. I anticipated that and send it out to 10 friends. 5 of them read it, 3 of them even did a full spell check and 1 of them even went through a fact check. It was checked, checked and checked again. Dont worry about it. The final product is something I believe in. And I'm not sure if I'm going to compare other terrorist to McVeigh. I mean, the argument will be around the "registered Republican with NRA membership, veteran from the Gulf war"-gone-bad image of McVeigh and the question will be; was he a serious political and maybe even religious fundamentalist or just a lunatic who lost it?
