One of the few times the DU really let me down [View all]

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10141059078

Last night I was so full of PRIDE that my union alone was a target of Fox News for donating over 65 million $ to Democrats, women's reproductive rights, etc.

As of now 348 views and just 6 R's.

It is a Fox News story, but it is LBN worthy!

I've made lots of enemies for who I am on the DU. People alert on me for what I am. I can't change my spots. On the other hand Friday some DUer alerted on me and I won the jury 7-0 over an actual offer to help a DUer with her rent problems. 

I have several posts lined up for today like most days. Make no mistake about it, I'm terminal and don't need DUers picking at me all the time. I do expect support from my friends.

Get your ass to LBN and show this post the respect it deserves. The Cavers and friends are watching.

This post alone will tell me if it is time to ride off in the sunset in a new direction away from the DU. It means that much to me.

From the story: But the vast campaign AFSCME spending, the federal reports show, was overshadowed by tens of millions of dollars in contributions to progressive advocacy groups including Planned Parenthood Action Fund, the Center for American Progress and National Council of La Raza, the Illegal immigrant advocacy group.

WTF?  Who goes looking for things to post on a message board and then spaces them out over the course of the day?  I just read whatever online and if I find something I think make be of interest or humorous, then I share it, same goes for Facebook.


 

Make no mistake about it, I'm terminal and don't need DUers picking at me all the time.

What friends?

[GOBUCKS]

Make no mistake about it, I'm terminal

At least once a week, like clockwork.

This has to be a world's record for sympathy whoring.

He's like the Wicked Witch -  "I'm melting!", except she went ahead and did it before we got bored.

Last night I was so full of PRIDE

Better be careful, Steve. Spelling "pride" with all capital letters will cause you some copyright problems with certain sexual deviancy groups.

[Bad Dog]

How can a sad needy piece of crap like OS have such a grotesque ego.  They are going to be so relieved if and when he shuffles off this mortal coil.

Should we send the moles over to LBN and watch his fat head swell even more.  Hypothetical, since we don't actually have moles and, if we did, that would be wrong.

[obumazombie]

If OS wants replies to his posts, coach franksolich has spelled out how in detail.
But, like all the other DUmmies he refuses to take coach franksolich's advice.

[SVPete]

Dude reminds me of a song, the Single Note Samba ... Me, Me, Me, Me, Me, Me, Me, Me, Me ...

I've left a few discussion forums since 1997, learned - mainly by watching others' fails - that dramatic exits and threats to exit are far more likely to garner ridicule or "Whatever!" than sympathy or "No! Please don't!" responses.

[I_B_Perky]

I can sum up the whole thread in two sentences:

Omaha Steve: I'm leeeeeaving!!
Dump: Bye.

I used to frequent a site that used the term "YAGE" - Yet Another Grand Exit

Yeah, I have done that, and more than once, too.

And've gotten totally ignored as if I don't know what I'm talking about.

I suspect the big guy just thinks he's smarter than franksolich, so why pay attention?

[dane]

OS, we are ALL terminal.  Some of us have a better idea than others when the exit will be, but exit we all will. 

Having a prognosis of impending departure makes you special how?

That's what I wonder, too; death comes to all of us, and usually at an unexpected time.

We're terminal from the minute we emerge out of the womb.

[GOBUCKS]

DUmmies lie all the time, so it's very unlikely the Big Guy has some specific terminal diagnosis.

In the unlikely event that he does, though, let's hope he continues to post right up until the last minute.

And let's hope it's not just his usual execrable copy-and-paste trash.

He'll be totally forgotten a week after he's gone, but in the meantime he can provide some entertainment.

So, very true.

800 times perhaps.

Pam Dawson is pissed at the Big Guy for trying to hog all the DUmp sympathy.

She's been terminal for five years and no one cared until she came up with a "blankets for hoodrats" bouncy tale.

Of course you have to consider that Pam is a compulsive, pathological liar:

117. I like you OS your posts are usually relevant to me as a union member HOWEVER

don't expect me to 100% to agree with you but definitely don't use the terminal crap to make me feel obligated.

I know you are terminal and that sucks and I am sorry BUT

Cron's disease isn't any more joyful of a situation to be in. Most times I feel like shit and when I am not shitting, or cramping so bad you swear there is a boulder in your colon causing such pain or that the flare ups are so bad that they squeeze together and make other parts not work right thus causing pancreatitis requiring a minimum 5 days in special wing of the hospital (CU) Then the rounds of Chemo every 5 weeks.

What I am trying to say...we all have issues and while your disease has given you a more clear idea of how long you might have, we are all dying some of us sooner than others and sometimes life just sucks.

I have so many things I want to do but the fatigue makes it impossible but to even turn on the computer at times. So please don't be angry but just because you are terminal, doesn't mean I am going to jump for you. I have my own problems and in my opinion they are just as serious. When I am in the hospital every couple of months due to pancreatitis for 5-7 days or in the hospital over night for pain management control because the lortab and oxy cocktail can't keep the pain from exploding making life just not worth living.

sometimes just having someone be condescending and selfish makes me thing why should I ...I may not be terminal at this minute but my disease is going to shorten my life significantly I don't use that to make others feel guilty for not posting on my threads.

[Chris_]

Ah... too funny.

[thundley4]

You would think that after 5 years of being insufferable about her disease, that she could at least spell the name of her malady correctly.

 It's Crohn's disease, not Cron's disease .  OTOH, maybe she means old crone disease.

[Bad Dog]

Battle of the attention whores.  Are ya ready to rumble!!!

[Big Dog]

What a delightful buffet of DUmmitude, all in one post:

"I like you, Sonny. I think I'll kill you last"

I know you are terminal and that sucks and I am sorry BUT Cron's disease isn't any more joyful of a situation to be in.

Pam sticks her big BUT into the mix. Ironic later, when she complains about other people's selfishness.

Most times I feel like shit and when I am not shitting, <Unintentional humor. Thanks, Pam!>- or cramping so bad you swear there is a boulder in your colon causing such pain or that the flare ups are so bad that they squeeze together and make other parts not work right thus causing pancreatitis requiring a minimum 5 days in special wing of the hospital (CU) Then the rounds of Chemo every 5 weeks.

All one sentence. 70 words. I bet Pam's not teaching English there at WPS's reform school.

What I am trying to say...we all have issues and while your disease has given you a more clear idea of how long you might have, we are all dying some of us sooner than others and sometimes life just sucks.

Do we all have "issues", Pam? All of us? Or are you speaking of the castaways on Skins' Island? I will happily concede the point that DU is a junk drawer of mental illness.

I have so many things I want to do but the fatigue makes it impossible but to even turn on the computer at times. So please don't be angry but just because you are terminal, doesn't mean I am going to jump for you. I have my own problems and in my opinion they are just as serious.

Buzz, are you paying attention? The old Crohn just described prescription narcotic addiction and drug seeking behavior. I won't hold my breath waiting for you to use the same words for Pam that you used for Rush Limbaugh.

sometimes just having someone be condescending and selfish <ironic, right?> makes me thing why should I ...I may not be terminal at this minute but my disease is going to shorten my life significantly I don't use that to make others feel guilty for not posting on my threads.

Hey, Pam. I thought you liked condescending and selfish. After all, you voted for this guy twice:


Il Douche

And now, just for Pam, a little music to get her through the day.

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

    And...always look on the bright side of life...
    Always look on the light side of life...

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.

    And...always look on the bright side of life...
    Always look on the light side of life...

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

    So always look on the bright side of death
    Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

    And always look on the bright side of life...
    Always look on the right side of life...
    (Come on guys, cheer up!)
    Always look on the bright side of life...
    Always look on the bright side of life...
    (Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
    Always look on the bright side of life...
    (I mean - what have you got to lose?)
    (You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.
    What have you lost? Nothing!)
    Always look on the right side of life...

Leading me to believe she is lying like a lib rug.
Not only that, she claims to have 5 week treatments of chemo for her "Crons" disease.
There is no chemo treatment for "Crons" or "Crohns"
It's the medical version of stolen valor like Kerry that libs are so good at.
In this case it's stolen sympathy.
It's such a rush for libs when they steal anything they can get their hands on.

[franksolich]

I never paid much attention to this.

There might be people I know, afflicted with it, but I know nothing about it.

I could be wrong, but it seems to me all Pamela needs to do is add more fiber and roughage to her diet.

But as that doesn't involve pharmaceuticals, she's not going to do it.

Ummmmmm ... suspected alert!

First of all, one would think that if this poster were so afflicted by it, (s)he would know too well how to spell Crohn's Disease.

Second, unless Wikipedia is incomplete, chemotherapy is not a treatment for Crohn's. Nor is the common time spacing for chemo treatments 5 weeks apart; every 1-2 weeks is the common spacing.

Third, pancreatitis is a very rare complication of Crohn's, and occasionally requires hospital treatment, but in a normal unit. Rarely, it does require surgery and time in the ICU. "Special wing of the hospital" sounds very -esque!

All in all, his/her description of her disease has some wrong information, and some very dubious information. -spinners need to do a little basic research before making fact claims that can easily be checked.

Edit: I see oz thinks and types faster than I do! H-5!

[franksolich]

DUmmies lie all the time, so it's very unlikely the Big Guy has some specific terminal diagnosis.

What I figure is the doctor told him, "Hey, Steve, if you keep eating like a pig, you're going to die."

Just that, nothing more.
