The Newly Departed thread: announcements (departures)

[Mystical]

Thank you Kevin :hugs:
We're you trying for a Scooby-Doo "Yoinks" there or did u just make that up, V?

[brewer]

Hey Luckie, wishing you all the best and hoping everything will come out OK in the end.

[Minimalist]

When chaplains enter my room and try to hold my hand despite my succinct request that they dont, I definitely hear Min's "blow it out your ass" key phrase.

Have you considered extending your middle finger to them?  Tell them it stands for the "one, true, god."

[Whateverist]

I'm in I'm out I'll be around a bit, then I have another colo-rectal surgery the week after next. Yay. Prep for that is the same as a colonoscopy if I do recall, so, I hit the unlucky surgical procedures lottery again, Vorlon!

I don't know if I should be thankful to medicine in general that I'm still alive or horrified at the lengths at which they end up taking to keep people alive, or peeved at the mistakes that are made during these processes that require a double (triple in my case) of the same surgery?

either way I'm exhausted

Not the best time for surgery, having been septic most of last month, but have no choice. With a constant source of infection now I'll never heal without the surgery. Never been this weak. Never! Still pondering why I was sent home from hospital so anemic that I need a blood transfusion? Glad I fired those people and will be at a competent hospital for surgery. Talking aloud now.  Just wanted u guys to know if I don't come back by football season to give Tibs and Chtulhu shit.. that's probably what's up.
I see each and every one of you in my daily life. From Whateverist in the gardens I run across online or out my window-- to thumpers in classical guitar praces to cool science shit that Steel ad Poca and and all the other science fiends might like. I see Ivy in the red sunsets, the ones like margaritas that are the same red color of her lipstick, and i hear her and all the smart ladies on this site whose collective voices yell with me in my imagination when I read about LGBT rights and or international affairs fueled by religion.  When chaplains enter my room and try to hold my hand despite my succinct request that they dont, I definitely hear Min's "blow it out your ass" key phrase.
I guess I'm thankful that even though I come and go, you're still here. The forum. In all its glory, good or bad, getting along or not--we are all tied here as one big community. I'm proud to be part of this community, and I certainly expect to see you all again after surgery. Peace.

Hey ya Lucky.  Hope you're feeling better real soon.  You have a successful surgery, you hear?  While you're convalescing here are photos from some gardens I visited this year.  (Who needs paradise when we can visit gardens?)

Oh, babe! This post of yours made my heart crumble. I wish you the best. Fuck, luckie. You are such a strong, strong woman. You never cease to amaze me. Love you, amiga!

Know what... it's been six months since RobValue took his leave of absence. I sure do miss him. 

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Away for a bit - death in the family.  Be well, all.

Boru

[Edwardo Piet]

Take care Brian, you're one of my faves here.

My condolences for you and your family. Sending you lots of hugs and chocolate. I hear it's great for everything.
