DUing while impaired
Have you ever done something while impaired you regret later? It happened to me this afternoon here in GD. It will happen again if I stay as a regular.
Perhaps I should change my name to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Try to remember I'm not who I was when I joined a little over ten years ago. OS doesn't really exist anymore.
I wear plastic casts on my thumbs for arthritis in the daytime. Even simple copy and paste takes awhile. It took a couple hours to put this all together.
I wear braces on my hands at night until I have surgery in a month or two for carpal tunnel syndrome. Just one hand at a time.
I've been on a CPAP since 2001. It was very hard to kick lunesta a few years ago. There was a missed warning there.
Both shoulders and both sides of my neck have damage from 2 at work accidents, and a car accident back on Christmas Day a couple years ago on my way home from work.
By now I'm sure you know pain killers are part of my life. Mood swings and periods of lack of judgement are right out of the medical books for me with everything going on. Think of what Marta has to put up with.
A couple dozen DUers know what is slowly killing me. I thank every single one of them for keeping my secret. I'll write that tell all post when it is time to leave for good.
I'm going to try to be a real life volunteer for newly diagnosed terminal patients. I'm going downhill, so I have no idea how long it will last. Because of the nature of what I'll be doing is confidential, I really can't share much. My first venture is next week.
I'll be attending the state boys basketball tournament for I hope the next three days if my team keeps winning, so I won't be on the DU as much as I have been since I retired.
I love the DU. When the time comes to leave I will loose a huge extended & caring family.
Sometime after that it will be the theme from M*A*S*H.
I do want to stay on the DU. Please let me know when Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde have overstayed their welcome, because I won't know it myself.
BTW, those cowards living in a cave don't bother me in anymore. They haven't for a long time!
Much love,
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde A.K.A. OS

My reaction upon reading that?--well, good for him; we don't bother him.
Annoying the primitives on Skins's island is not one of the functions of the DUmpster anyway.
I mean, yeah, it probably happens once in a while, but it's not our principal purpose.
The purpose of the DUmpster is to amuse and entertain decent and civilized people, nothing more than that.
-
Looks like we're going to have a new GBCW post every week or so.
Wonder why he suddenly got a dozen replies? Hmm? They all lurk here.
Anyway, the Big Guy is in the clear, since he got a pass from the reigning Top DUmmy, Big Mo:

Of all the primitives, all of them, CaliforniaPeggy struck me as the one least likely to use such language.

No, she has used gutter language a number of times.
She's not as vulgar as most democrat women, but she's posted like that several times.
Of course, what does "f***k" mean, anyway? "Flunk"? ""Flank"? "Frank", maybe?

No clue, I was just kidding. I have the theme song from MASH stuck in my head now though.

"Sometime after that it will be the theme from M*A*S*H. "
Sounds like OS intends to off himself. The name of the theme song from M*A*S*H* is 'Suicide is Painless'. - All anybody thinks about is the flute in the song - not the almost never heard lyrics.
Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see...
[REFRAIN]:
That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please.
I try to find a way to make
All our little joys relate
Without that ever-present hate
But now I know that it's too late, and...
[REFRAIN]
The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
So this is all I have to say.
[REFRAIN]
The only way to win is cheat
And lay it down before I'm beat
And to another give my seat
For that's the only painless feat.
[REFRAIN]
The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger...watch it grin, but...
[REFRAIN]
A brave man once requested me
To answer questions that are key
Is it to be or not to be
And I replied 'oh why ask me?'
[REFRAIN]
'Cause suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please.
...and you can do the same thing if you please.

What a drama queen.
Honestly,what kind of a mutant has been declaring for months that they are terminally ill and then makes a big deal over keeping the reason a secret?
-
What a drama queen.
I still dunno why he had to single us out like that.
If the DUmpster annoys a primitive, it's the primitive's own fault.
All the DUmpster's doing is quoting the primitive.
And given that the DUmpster's about the only place on the internet that pays any attention to the primitives, the primitives need to be grateful for this additional exposure.

The big guy doesn't want to admit that the root cause of it is a lifetime of indolence, decadence, and utter self-indulgence. He's not man enough to admit his current woes are his own fault.

Frank...mentioning us in his post is the only way he can get anyone to respond to him over there.
He doesn't mention CC...he gets zero responses.

I am hurt, HURT, that The OS thinks we don't care.
We do care. A lot.
When it's your time to go, The OS, odds are it will be cavers who attend your funeral and toss mini tacos into your grave as we say goodbye dear and noble friend.
:bawl:

46. Just like a tree that's standing in the water
We shall not be moved!
We got your back, OS.
Okay, somebody give me some illumination about botany, here.
And having been born and raised in Nebraska, in theory I don't know a thing about trees.
Wouldn't the trunk of a tree standing in water all the time ultimately rot, bringing the whole thing crashing down?
<<<really don't know.
I suspect that's a pretty unfortunate analogy.

It's a very poor analogy. All it takes is a log chain, or a little dynamite, and the DUmmy's immovable tree is on its way to the toothpick factory.

Well now, what's odd about this unfortunate comment of hers is that some several months ago, CaliforniaPeggy and franksolich had a nice round of chitchattery on Discussionist, gracious and polite and all that.
I went away thinking rather highly of her after that; not of her politics, which suck, but of her good breeding and good manners.
Now I don't know what to think of her.
-
I wear braces on my hands at night until I have surgery in a month or two for carpal tunnel syndrome. Just one hand at a time.
Can someone help me with this? Why bother fixing carpal tunnel syndrome one hand at a time if you are terminal? Does Obamacare know about this?
Take the Red pill Steve and do us all a favor.

I am that kind of professional.

"miskie's big book of poetry"--it's a classic well worth reading, a parody of CaliforniaPeggy's art, especially if one hasn't seen it yet:

Yeah, I noticed that also. I guess with the luxurious taxpayer provided insurance, the neurosurgeon decided that yes, he could indeed afford the new boat. And a long summer vacation by the bay.
Meanwhile, Obamaha Steverino will be back to the same aches and pains because he doesn't get the right kind, or amount, of exercise for his wrists.
Thanks for wasting the money Stever.

Chances are overwhelming the Big Guy is lying.
There are two dead giveaways.
First, he's a DUmp democrat. They lie about everything, all the time.
Second, if he were really sick, he would be suing the City of Omaha for causing it.
For years they paid him to ride a little catbird seat back and forth over an enormous vat of steaming, incoming raw sewage, fishing out used condoms so the equipment wouldn't get clogged.
Then, after decades of huffing sewer fumes caused health problems, they set him to work scrubbing drunk puke from police cruisers.
If he had a real affliction, whether myopia, tooth decay, or toenail fungus, he would have a union lawyer soaking the taxpayers of Omaha.
Anyway, he's determined to use this storyline as a DOTY campaign angle.
It's hard to see how he can maintain momentum through the long months between now and wintertime voting, but the same doubts were applied to nutcase nadin back in 2011.
Of course, nadin is an industrious, inventive lunatic while the Big Guy is a lazy, slothful doofus, but we shall see. Maybe he'll choose to emulate Deadstone or TLB.
-
If the Big Guy is starved for attention...I could always contact John Lilyea at This Ain't Hell and show him the pic of OS wearing those unanthorized medals... :whistling:

49. DU only makes sense to me while impaired
franksolich too, when it comes to posting in the DUmpster.
<<<at the moment, impaired by: (1) deafness, (2) speech impediments, (3) arthritis, (4) massive internal ulcers, (5) an absent right elbow, (6) "residual" autism, (7) learning disorders, (8) a deep gouge in the bottom of the left foot, caused by a cat who thinks franksolich's feet are "chew toys," and (9) spring fever.
<<<but unlike the big guy, manfully and cheerily continues to carry on with no problem at all.

Hour drive. Dinner. Two games. Hour drive home. It will be after midnight before I'm home. I have to get up early to babysit. IF we win tonight, I'll be headed back to Lincoln tomorrow night for two more games.
So I don't think I'll be on much tomorrow.

77. FWIW, I've never noticed you being egregiously nasty
What I've seen is an uncharacteristically thin skin from time to time. I get that when the pain medication wears off, myself, and if I notice it, I just sign off until I can take another pill and function for a few more hours.
I'm on my way, too, but what's killing me is doing it very slowly. The bad part is that I'll go completely goofy at some point. I hope Skinner is kind and wears slippers instead of boots when my butt gets kicked out of here.
I think a lot of us are on our way. We old boomers are getting up there and it happens.

84. Sorry to hear of all your problems
have you tried alternative ways of posting? Could you use Dragon Naturally Speaking?
http://www.nuance.com/dragon/index.htm
You could post and browse with only your voice. You have to train the software and learn the browsing commands. I tried the voice rec software that comes with Tablet XP. It was slow and limited but did work. I tried browsing on an older version of Dragon and that worked quite well.

I just haven't started using it yet. Now they call trying to sell an upgrade.
To do list.

For a bunch professing to be unbothered by us'ns they sure seem rather familiar with the Cave. No one seems to have seen a need to explain who "the Cave" is. Don't they even have some noobs who wonder what the long-termers are talking about?

Honestly,what kind of a mutant has been declaring for months that they are terminally ill and then makes a big deal over keeping the reason a secret?
Ya know Carl, I'm looking at the Steve's OP again. I think his deadly disease is carpal tunnel. either that or he's trying to add disability to his pension.
I don't think Steve is dying. He's just milking what sympathy there is at the DUmp.
-
I don't think Steve is dying.
Of course the big guy's dying; no doubt about it.
Just like the rest of us, every day that which comes to all men, is a day closer.

Obama Steve's life or death means nothing to the primitives unless they can use it in some propagandistic way.
If they can blame one of us for for Steve's demise then every year, after somebody at the Cave reminds them another year has passed, they'll talk about their baseball bats and ninja lawyers, and then go back into their Hunter S. Thompson drugged-out haze until the next time some circumstance fits their preconception.
