Hahaha, that's pretty damn annoying. My brother bought me the singing filet o' fish a couple of years ago as a gag. I'm waiting to re-gift the damn thing back to him.

I do feel some kind of sorry, for you, your friend and people close to him. there seems to be an awful lot of misery this year. it's all relative and it's just history repeating itself... but this year (already) is definitely not the best (as far as I can tell). I''m completely fine, but man, do I get to hear some stories of sheer misery lately... it's sad.

Why shouldn't you have posted it? It was obviously at the forefront of your mind, and sometimes it's good, no matter how the delivery method, to get it out.
In a weird, twisted fashion, sometimes it's good for other people who are grieving to see that others are as well. Helps to make them not feel as lonely.

After a three-year fight with prostate and bone cancer, he decided last week that he didn't wish to be confined to a bed anymore as the chemo had taken a hard physical toll on him.
It's been a rough year with this disease (my mom is battling stage 4 breast and bone cancer as well), but the last couple of weeks have been really hard. There's the part of me that wants him to hang on, but then there's the other half that wishes him to be at peace.
So sorry to hear that.
My friends Dad was supposed to start Hospice care on Tuesday Morning (Dialysis said they could no longer do dialysis because it was no longer working), they went to sign the papers for Hospice....they went home & he died. Like he was saying "I ain't got time for Hospice...."
Now we are in the middle of getting a Nor'Easter & I have to drive to Jersey for the funeral

Don't you have to have some sort of EPA cert and standards to do and dispose of it? I think at least here in California, it's considered hazardous waste like old asbestos insulation in the walls or ceiling? I've thought about having it removed my my ceilings as if seems to generate a lot of light dust and the quotes I got a few years back were astronomical. No fuckin' way do I want to deal with it.... so I just dust more often.

the house was built in 1988 so its asbestos free. anything pre 1980 might have asbestos. you can get it tested pretty cheap. if you do have it it would cost a fortune to remove it. if i was to pay to have it done it would have cost me $2200. by doing it myself it is costing me about $200. i am also replacing all the flooring and painting everything so i don't give a shit if i make a mess.

do an asbestos test yourself and then get quotes based on your documented findings. if it is asbestos then it's super expensive because the contractor has to have third party air testing and all this bullshit. if it's not asbestos then it shouldn't be that expensive. any old handy man should be able to do it.
just take a little baggy of it here: http://www.forensica.com/ they have an office in compton, right off the freeway.
if you pick like the 5 day turn around time (or whatever the slowest one is) it's like 20-30 bucks maybe?

I think that's the way I'd want to go out, rather than laying in pain for months.
the poor guy really had no life for about the last three years since going into the Veterans Home. It was surprisingly a nice home with a caring staff and they were allowed take him out for the day. Then a year & a half ago he had to have one leg amputated and they tried taking him out for the day but being 85 with one leg....it didn't work too well. So they no longer could take him out.
So his existence was miserable.
At least the home was good about her bringing his mean fat cat in to visit. So at least he got to see his cat before he died.

popcorn paint SUCKS! And people usually use it to hide a not so perfect ceiling
I'm just physically exhausted from the week. It's Friday morning here and getting through today will def be a struggle... I look forward to tomorrow's sleep in...

I've lived in my building for over 10 years and this has never happened to me before!
I'd find the idea of a communal laundry room to be very strange indeed...
I'm okay with it. I only have to go downstairs so it's not big deal.
The laundry room has only 3 washers and dryers. There are also drying cupboards to air dry clothes instead of the machine.
Many people have washers and dryers in their suites, but mine is one without.
I guess you could have strange conversations in there like they portray in The Big Bang Theory (or used to at least)...
I don't usually run into anybody there. I go down put my clothes in the washers, coem back up, then go back down to put in the dryer or hang up, and come back up again. So, no scintillating conversations in my laundry room. Once in awhile a stray sock is pinned to the bulletin board.
So i drank half a bottle of Prosecco yesterday (during the amazing FCB-Milan game) and now i have the most terrible headache. It's happening every time i drink anything wine or wine-like for the last months. This is so annoying. I never had that some years ago. Is this a age thing or what? Guess i have to stay with good old german beer.

i get a hangover anytime i have more than three or four drinks. it's really annoying. i think it's age and because i don't drink as much as i did.
