As I'm sitting next to my dying father (colon cancer, triple bypass, last week 25 cm of intestine removed etc) as I type, him not having insurance for all his life, and all this stuff began almost 4 years ago, as a family, we haven't got any more real estate to sell, no more cars left to sell etc I ve sold all my private belongings (unnecesa luxury shit) only a few valueables left, still owe 6 digits on mils to banks (due to economy, inflation etc), I'm lost and see no way outta this. Because of my unlucky location, etrade and paypal is dead (due to no renewd licensing b/c of the autho government) but I'm still gonna list the last of my items I need to sell to make at least some kinda money to help out this situation, high anxiety, depr and no libido and no social life dont help, tho I'm still here to save up some 'death money' for myself when the shit starts to go down south real fast real with the banks and all. That's all I wanted to write. I'm almost 40, had an interesting tough life, hit me up if you are younger and want to hear coz I never had anyone to tell me the good and bad and the right and wrong, dos and donts in life. Ive learned the hard way, but dont want anyone else make the same mistakes. I've had it up to here. If i had to do a proper we write up, it d take too long. Sorry to take your time, all the mish mash of thoughts etc. Cheers and I'll be around.

- Just an odd personal observation, both my parents died very suddenly in their 60’s. I never got the chance to say goodbye to either of them.BusterBoy
- As horrible as a slow painful death is, in a perverse kind of way, at least it gives those around a chance to offer support and say goodbye.BusterBoy
- But horrible all the same.BusterBoy
