PAGE 16 of 32
I'm 32, so you may or may not be younger. Don't know why I thought you might be older than me from previous posts, but I'm just as faulty a barometer of that stuff in-the-skin, since I assumed my neighbors with a 2 year old child were older than me until the wife had her 10 year reunion about 3 months after I moved in.
Oh well.... Age is always a factor in this day and age, and I guess I'm still ahead of the game since Chris Matthews hasn't knocked at my door yet and told me my 20 year old liaison was really only 16. 
Sorry to hear about whatever it is you have. It seems that MS and cancer run rampant in my family, so fun times ahead for me, I'm sure. At least I'll have a full head of hair when I die early and there's no hereditary heart problems in the history.
I might think differently if I ever got married and had children, but I've already told my old man and my brothers to shoot me if I ever had to wear a diaper. If they wont, I'll do it. I've got a compact 45 that is just about the size of my brother's .22 if you were not looking at the barrel. From the barrel view, his looks like a BB gun, and mine looks like a hand cannon. To this day, I've never fired a real gun. I just want to have some stopping power in case of a man-made zombie apocalypse, or the ability to end it all IMMEDIATELY. My Uncle tried that once, but it didn't work out so well with his John Wayne six shooter and he "lived" for about 5 hours in the hospital before his job was done.
My ideal death.....?
House is clean, hard drives are clean, and I'm wearing fresh and clean clothes from head to toe when I go out. Even better, I've got so many friends and family interested in my own life at that point that they find me before the neighbors complain about the "stink"
Totally grusome, I know, but a guy who lives alone needs to think about these things. Without a wife around to make sure some basic things are attended to, who's going to do it for him.
Like "Tracy Jordan" said....
1) Live every week, like it was Shark Week.
2) Dress everyday like you are going to be murdered in those clothes.
:)
EDIT:
Nope... no luck in the job search dept...... I've got some influential feelers out at Aldi and a Pipe-fitter union test coming up in late January. Hopefully something pans out :)

To JACK: Well, assuming you don't have a b-day for the next 4 months you'll have me beat by a year, old man 
Hmm, my thoughts on death. I've had some time ta think on this subject in the last year...
I have this theory that a drug overdose is a bit like riding on a tilt-a-whirl. First you get a little dizzy and a bit of a headache, then your arms and legs get heavy, you get nauseous and then want to go to sleep... and that's how I'd like to go. But I'll have to find someone who's tried and failed to know fer sure...sure ain't gonna jump in front of nothin' and screw up a poor schmucks day.
I also have this bizarre idea of having my skull bones bleached, and sent to a celtic mystic for tribal decorations, so I can be passed down the generations. I never said what was IN my skull now was entirely sane 
BTW, I'm not plannin on bein' dead for a long while, so nobody worry. I just get the crap inconvienenced outta me until I get there

Welcome back from wherever you went hon! I think most of us are waitin' till Castle gets done, but if'n ya wanna chat about ideas, you might get better reception if you start a new thread, this one is MIGHTY long. We had one a while back but it seems(like me!) everyone has their own agenda for what they'd like to see happen. Most of the guys just wanna see Christina Hendricks mostly unclothed.
I'd take ANYTHING. I don't care if the whole cast is nekkid, or wearing burkhas...I swear by my pretty floral burkha, I will end you

Hi Jack, its cool that you are stickin with the eight months and more to come thing, good for you.
Wish, it sounds like whatever you have causes you quite a bit of physical pain. In my state people are allowed to use mk for pain management when what they have is notable. I've heard it can be quite helpful. If I ever get in a situation like that though I'll have to find another sollution because marijuana plus mental health challenges equals uh oh most of the time, I only know of one or two exceptions, other than that just say no. But if you're neurotypical you're probably allright to try it if you can, I doubt Indiana allows that though?

Yeah, and not about to. The general public here is massively ignorant. Hubby has a saying about it- either you are Apple Pie smart or Circle PI smart. Apple pie smart means you know when to hunt and when to plant,i.e. yer typical county bumkin, and pi smart means you have a circle that encompasses many things
... Oh, what it's like when worlds collide...

Hey morrisondnltprln,
I went there once, but since I don't remember my password and it's already a cookie in this computer, I just keep plugging away at the blue border version. What's the difference besides the red border?
You probably don't want to hear my ideas for the next Serenity epsisode. My thoughts were that the show was cancelled so damn prematurely and the movie fastforwarded through about 9 seasons of great stuff.
I'd love to see the first movie entirely erased from existence, give everyone who acted on the show a non-existent youth potion to put them back at 2001 age and keep the show going.
Same thing for Arrested Development. Although it sounds awesome that they're actually going to bring the show back soon since NetFlix bought the rights from the idiots at FOX, everyone is so much damn older than when the show was awesome. I'm afraid it will be like the short-lived Spice Girls reunion. lol.
Sadly, I think the only previously canceled FOX show that has a chance in the long run is Futurama because it's a cartoon. :(
Hey JO753,
Haha....
I've never actually seen the show, but I'm aware of it because of two things.
1) one of the funniest episodes of South Park ever where probably 50 guys shot themselves in the head all episode long when Chris Matthews entered the room. and...
2) The episode of 30 Rock when Tina Fey was hooking up with the "Mayhem" guy again until she saw him on an episode of Dateline trying to hook up with a 16 year old.
"Let me tell you about 20 year old women. Half of them are 16." lol
32 is pretty sweet man, but I have the same nostalgia for 22 that you probably have for 32. Funny thing is, all through my teens I couldn't wait to be in my 20's.
20-something is surely the sweetspot, but I couldn't pinpoint that day. Seems like the grass is always greener elsewhere.....
Hey Wishimay,
Well... I'm sorry for whatever it is keeping ya walking enough to push self propelled mower. I figured you were young with the way you talk about your daughter, but I didn't know. I'm still hella-strong, but my endurance is for shit and my joints hurt a lot. I long for the days where I used to be able to run 5 miles a day and I wasn't even getting tired until after 3. Even though I've lost nearly 60 lbs, it hasn't been because of any cardio.
I'll go as far as to say that I look pretty damn awesome these days with a shirt off, but my 76lb Junior High self would kick my ass to next week in a Cross Country race. It would be over before it even started.
F-ing cigarettes. I LOVE them, but I HATE them. :)
If you have time to think about the means of your own death, my advice is to do more home improvement or find a few other hobbies to take up the time. Hypocritical thing for me to say, I know, but I don't like hearing people I like putting too much time into it. I've had three people very close to me in my kind-of short life successfully pull it off. Some after several attempts. (One of them, I've already mentioned, was my uncle who I lived with at my Grams for a few years when times were bad.... he was like a brother to me).
In the end, they say you're only hurting yourself, but I don't believe that for a second. Maybe I'm just more empathetic than most other folk, but those three deaths are crosses I'll have to bear for the rest of my life.
There's almost absolutely nothing I could have done to change things, but I hate admitting how often I think about what I could have done had I known beforehand.
Trust me.... If you ever tried and failed, said poor schmuck, if they're anything like me, is going to have a much better day than if you succeeded.
Besides.... you have a beautiful daughter who needs her strong willed Mama around. 
Nothing weird about the bone bleaching thing. I'd love to have my ashes shot out of a cannon by Johnny Depp like Hunter Thompson did.
I'm not really worried about you, and I know we're just discussing things. Actually, when I thought back to what I w

Don't know if anyone liked the Zelda Rap link, but I guess those guys have been popular enough to make SNL skits. This one has Steve Buscemi, one of my all time favorite actors.....

Hey Wishimay,
Washer and Dryer run like a dream! Four loads done so far. Feels good to not have to go to my Mom's to do it anymore finally!
I'm going to have to call that guy who sold it to me on Craigslist and tell him thanks for the awesome set. I totally trusted that they were good when he and his family came along for the ride to drop it off at my place (40 miles, round trip) but it's nice to see that there are good and honest people out there. If that set even worked in the first place has been nagging at the back of my mind through all this work.
Right now, I'm really glad I gave him that big tip after the agreed upon price for the items and delivery. It was really cool how he called his son over and gave the money straight to him. He was probably too young to be spending it on a little girlfriend, but I hope he enjoyed whatever he spent it on.
Incidentally, I'm using some Arm and Hammer detergent that was pretty cheap at the market. Not sure if my clothes are cleaner than when I was using Tide on sale, but They sure smell great afterward. It comes in a green bottle. You should give it a shot. We might all be paying more for Tide, just for the sake of using Tide.
Got a ton of carpet ripped out today too. All the carpet going downstairs is gone. Unfortunately, the wood underneath is neither hard-wood, nor is it in any condition to stain and varnish. It's definitly high enough qualty to have done that, but the person who put it in knew they were putting carpet over it and used drywall screws all over the place to install the boards. Plus, he was a little staple crazy and I spent my entire morning pulling out about 500 staples on about 6 stairs. I'll just fill it all in and primer and paint them like the rest of the exposed basement for now, but that will probably look like shit when the real remodeling starts and I'll just replace it with some nice oak.
I've been a little slow to get up to work this week because I'm just so bored of the basement work and doing things nobody will see when it's all said and done. It is so-the-opposite of instant gratification, working down there day in and day out.
After exposing the stairway this morning, I took a break from that and did two pretty awesome things today.
First, I finished decorating the Christmas tree that my Mom and Step-Dad gave me. It's their second one they no longer have the energy to put up (the one that is probably as old as I am :)). Got a bunch of generic red balls, gold drums, multi-colored lights and gold garland they gave me up on it, but got about 25 unique ornaments my mom had bought every year for me while I was growing up. It really looks nice. I didn't think I'd do it this year, but I'm really glad I took a time out to put it up.
I may be cheap as hell, but there's no Scrooge living here....
Second, I ripped out all of the carpet, staples, and those wooden tracks used for the carpet in the second bedroom. WOW!!!!! does that oak hardwood floor underneath it look amazing. Eventually it will all have to be sanded and refinished because the first 1 1/2" or so were slightly damaged from the carpeting, but..... just ...... wow....
It's nice to be excited about something in the house again. I've spent more time than I care to admit catching up on TV shows this week rather than working. That boring, monotonous, mind-numbing work in the basement was really starting to wreck my calm.
