Does the idea of living alone make you uncomfortable?
If so, why?- Beginning to appear more and more TBH.comicsans
- FFS, appeal!comicsans
- Because people thrive on companionship and being alone is a reminder that you might be unwanted.monospaced
- For years I needed to be alone and was happily alone. It was great. Then everything changed for the better.monospaced
- I love being alone. Which is why I'm a commitophobe with relationships. At least for now.NBQ00
- Some ppl can't stand it and it's when you feel lonely is when it can cause damage to your health. But if you like being alone it's a different thing.NBQ00
- Rather be living with a companion than by myself.notype
- I'm actually looking forward to my SO, kids, the whole 9. I'm not sure humans were meant to be "alone", partnership aside.notype
- No. I love when wife and kids are out in the morning and I can be alone for a time. If ALONE is living only with yourself for years... ummmOBBTKN
- Surely i could be for a pair of years, np. Forever...OBBTKN
- i think living alone is great but you need friends around that you get you out to socialise.tangoxray3
- And it no good having a cool pad, and not have someone to share it with.tangoxray3
- much as i'd love to be able just to do nowt, i'd slide back to being a stoner that did nothing.Having a life filled with a wife and kids is much more fulfillingmicrokorg

Sometimes I would love to be in a spaceship, all alone and cruising to distant worlds. And the spaceship has cozy big mattresses where I can nap and sleep or just look at passing space objects, stars and galaxies. Leaving everything behind, all our human problems.

Heavy Post Alert -
"Your wife has colon cancer"
These were the words I heard on September 23 when I picked my sweet wife up from a colonoscopy. She had a few worrying symptoms recently, she's 45. I stood in the waiting room with our two sons (4 and 5) and when my wife walked out, we looked at each other and cried. We were terrified.
The doctor was certain about it being cancer, because the tumor was so big that he couldn't even perform the colonoscopy. We knew we needed to act quickly. So my wife got all of the necessary catscans, blood tests and other prep stuff done and we found a recommended a surgeon.
October 10 the surgery was performed successfully removing the affected area - a colon resection. Then we had to wait for the pathologist results to test what stage the cancer was, and if it had spread to other parts of the body. My tough-as-shit wife was out of the hospital in 2 days, walking around with 13 staples in her stomach.
Last Wednesday we got great news that a 5 cm tumor, stage 2 cancer was removed and did not spread to other parts of the body. The sense of relief we both felt, I can't do it justice.
We'll have lots of regular blood tests, and frequent colonoscopys (FUN!) and the oncologist may suggest chemotherapy if they want to take a very aggressive treatment route. But we're just so happy with how things have worked out.
Not really sure why I feel the need to post this, I think it feels good to get it off my chest - but it feels like life starts now.
Peace y'all- :)monospaced

- How old should you be to get it checked? My Father had a polyp and was worried but it was nothing. But he said 'go talk to your doctor, get a colonoscopy'...mantrakid
- I'm so happy for all of you that you caught it in time. My dad died of it at 69. So sad because for years he kept saying he was going to book a colonoscopy. :(Melanie
- When i spoke to my doc about it she said "naw you're too young (i was 37 at the time, now 38)... you just risk causing damage / causing issues.. wait till 40+."mantrakid
- How do you know you might have a polyp? Can you feel something odd in your digestive tract as food passes through?shapesalad
- ^ no way to tell other than a colonoscopy. they are small and don't usually interfere with digestion. this is why colon cancer is rarely detected until it's tooGnash
- (there is a simple test that looks for blood in stool -- a symptom of concern -- but polyps can't be indirectly detected)Gnash
- In the UK theres a postal test you can apply for. You poop in a tube and send it away for analysis.microkorg
- ^ same in canada. looks for blood. they're not very reliable but better than nothingGnash

What are the chances of a big (world) war erupting in the next 5-10 years between US, Russia, China and other countries involved?
It would probably be the end of human civilization as we know it.
Which is why I'm hesitant to learn Houdini and be a Hedonist.

The "m" on the keyboard has gone to the sunken place
- pinkfloyd0
I don't know all the terminology, but i'm looking for a wireless bluetooth headphone with a mic that block out "all" sounds. Seems when I was wearing my "noise cancelling" headphones, it only amplified outside sounds like a door slamming. I want something that blocks all sounds so I don't get startled by someone dropping a cup.
