is your life being turned upside down too?
Hello all recently very messed up stuff has been happening,basicly starting with when my grandpa first came down with cancer almost a year ago,now my grandma also has cancer and has maybe 6 months left if she's lucky and now recently my aunt has come down with lung cancer too,also my grandma has maybe 1 year left or so if he's lucky before the cancer kills him.Well a few weeks ago i went to a funural for an uncle who died from alsheimers.i am not able to be online as long as i want to be to download anime now so that way if anything happens they are able to call us,so lately i have been falling behind in my favorite shows.

this wouldnt happen to be another political thread in which bush destroys your life... is it?
however I feel for your loss, but i believe this is sort of army building spam... ... I must say that other thanbecoming a more efflorescent individual and aiming towards the paragon of virtue... nothing much has changed. Life Undulates, you just happen to be riding a trough. wait for your crest. Spoiler for complete irrelevance:

it this grandma and grandpa married? If so look at it from their views they are going together one of them is not lingering waiting for their time and missing their partner in life. It is sad that this is happening to you I myself cannot empathise with u because i have never lost close family to the extent that I would never see them again.
But if this did happen to me, I wouldn't be worried about shows but rather if I knew them well enough. Of course u could be using the shows to take your mind off your circumstances but maybe your mind should be on them. |

Anyways, back to the topic...I understand exactly what you're talking about and the saying does ring true, "when it rains it pours". I had similar experiences about 5-6 years ago, so I know what it's like.

i am sorry for your loss.
Without death, there can be no life. Reflect on this tragedy as how precious things really are and enjoy what you have while you have it and while you are still around to enjoy. There would be no greater |

Ok shit that has turned my life around I just finished school and now I have to find a job and get into an art school. The art school is the easy thing but the job :0 is turning out damn hard to find since ppl either want u young enough to pay u shit wages or they want u with experince which u can not get unless they hire u! Its annoying especially since I was turned down for my dream job at a aquarium because they wanted a 15 year old so they could pay him below award wage.

Grandparents passed away long ago, then gradually older aunts and uncles departed. My parents passed away in 2000 and I was the one they'd asked to take care for them during their last years, and afterwards I had to take care of the funeral arrangement, pay the bills, handle the estate and probate matters, handle the disposition of property to the surviving heirs. Shrug, I don't think I watched any anime for about a year and barely turned on the computer at home during that time other than to check email. Some friends were kind enough to download new episodes for series they knew I normally watched, and eventually after a return to something similar to "a normal life" occured I began setting aside some time to load cd's and watch some of it (although I mainly watched anime focused on comedy). As a diversion to keep your mind off things you'd rather not dwell too much on, watching anime can help. |

I really can't stand the thought of leaving anyone with money problems after I die (Funeral payments ect) It makes me sick! I mean I'll be dead! Cast my body into the sea, hell burn me in the yard for all I care, I'll be dead for crying out loud.
Is there a way around this? Like if I become a donor and allow the Doctors to cut me up piece by piece after I'm gone, would they then just throw my body in the hospital furnace?

A little advanced planning can make things as simple and as inexpensive (or expensive) as someone might want. About the only bad decision someone can make is to do nothing and say nothing so that when the end comes all the decisions and expenses are left to surviving family to deal with. That's wimping out and leaving behind a mess for someone else to cleanup...and is a sure way to depart this earth with regrets about things left undone in life and the burden this will place on the living left behind. |

Truthfully though I am going to look further into this because as you say leaving the mess behind to my loved ones is just plain wimping out. But also I don't like the thought of having to go through it all my self lol. I wish I could just put something in writing that say's "Once I’m dead I really couldn't give a flying fuck what you do with my body! Use it as pig feed or cut me up and use my body as you wish, I have a cool right arm with a tattoo of a dragon on it, stitch it on some poor sap who has been in a tragic accident or something. Also my penis is up for grabs since I won't be needing it anymore" And then a simple "LOL Big up my AnimeSuki crew!" At the end. LOL! They didn't have this kind of trouble in the old days, ja know what would be a cool way to go? The way they do it in all those films based on Greek mythology, couple of penny’s on my eyes to pay the "Boat man" and then burn me and send me out to sea. Yeah that would be cool. Anyway I’m rambling because I have just got in from a night out and I'm pretty out of it right now. (You didn't need to know that).

Well as for myself currently all of my arrengements are made. Although I am only 25, I well understand that one day on the way to work I could easly become a smear on the high way. Through my job I have 33,000 in life insurnace. Which I will admit is not a terribly high ammount. Yet I have discussed this with my family already. when I die, I am simply to be creamated and scattered into the ocean. That will cost only a few hundred. Leaving well over 30,000 to my family. I have told them to use the $ to put a down payment on a house, new car or somthing that thay could always use but never afford. Loosing family you care for is always hard. Luckly for me, most of my family are people I would not mind loosing. My grandfather died last year, I was rather happy about that. Old bastred desreved to die painfully and slowly. Of course he just ended up drinking him self to death cold and alone, since no one, not even his own children wanted to be near him. My aunt is taking after her father quite well, and has alinentated all but her own children. . . well rather the one child that is such a @$#% up at 27 he still lives with his mother because he cannot hold a job for more than a month, yet has custody of one child, and lost custody of the other. Yes his mother raises his child for the most part, as he tends to drink and do drugs to much to do so. Although my aunt is a speed freak as well, odd that they hate eachother for doing drugs, yet they both do them. I find that branch of my family rather funny, but will not miss them much if at all when they die as well. Actualy, thier is only two members of my family that I would so much as attend a funeral for. Out of eight family members, that is not a good %. Perhaps it is just how unsual my life has been that has taught me that the dead are no more deserving of my respect for beein dead then they were for simply living. If I were to respect some one who is dead, I will have had to respect them for what they did in life. A dead bastered, was still a bastered, now he is just the bloated stinking corpse of a bastered. No, I do not expect many people to attend my funeral services, if thier is even so much as a service. Personaly I would be happy just to know people are laughing at the way I died. I would rather people take some amusement from my final act, than sorrow. |

The burning funeral pyre or being cast out to sea in a burning boat bit won't work these days. It's probably against some environmental protection regulation and guys in hazmat suits would appear out of nowhere to rush in to put out the fire. Sounds almost like something out of Monty Python comedy skit though... Last edited by tanuki; 2004-11-14 at 14:59. |

My life was turned upside down when I was accused of a terrible crime I didn't commit... this was on my first day of college back in 1992. Even though I was cleared by the courts, being 18 and with a non-supportive family meant I had a lot of stress and pain. And let's just say among other things I know what it's like to be penniless, homeless, and facing the threat of prison time.
I worked my way through college and now I'm a professional in a rather swanky neighborhood. I can claim to be a self-made man, working my way up from hopeless nothing to now having my needs met and more than I could have hoped for besides. Heck, I even have dual DSL and more anime than I have time to watch. Heaven....... The world turning upside down may have made me a stronger person, but all-in-all, I wouldn't want it to happen to anyone. There should be easier ways to grow up. -k curious Last edited by Kempis Curious; 2004-11-28 at 00:14. Reason: sheesh lots of typos |
