Goodbye Cruel World!

Now the Big Guy says his affliction is "FTD", which would imply it's got some connection to the delivery of floral arrangements.

And DUmmies lie, all the time.

When Illness Makes a Spouse a Stranger (can we talk?)

First I want to thank the 40-50 DUers that knew about my condition and kept my deepest secret.

Why OS doesn't really exist anymore is in an old NYT article below.

I had it long before I was diagnosed with FTD (I prefer to call it brain atrophy from the article below) just before Christmas 2013. I guess I'm lucky, some victims get this in their 20's.

My new symptoms point to me having a second deadly disease (ALS) that will shorten even more the quality time I have left. Projected lifespan 2 years. I'm just waiting to see the specialist for a confirmation diagnosis. I'm in no hurry to get there.

I so desperately wanted wanted to stay on the DU through November of 2016. But I've overstayed my time, it is so obvious. All I have done is ruin what OS used to be on the DU. My own fault for wanting to stay.

On current events. I was asked to do something by a DU Hillary supporter earlier this week. I spent the time and effort. It was pointed out to me point blank this morning because of something I did a few weeks ago, a huge "stick it" was the way it was treated by many. I had already heard it through the grapevine. It still hurt. Since then I haven't been able to stop crying.

And this morning an OP brought this reply: "I think you should delete this thread, because it sounds demented."

On the money in my case.

"you don't have Nixon to kick around any more, because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference." (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/r/richardmn116455.html)

I've enjoyed being a part of the DU and all the friends I've made here.

As far as OS and life in the future. I won't go out violently. I won't go out on FTD's terms.

A glass to the good old days. To a win in November 2016...

OS AKA Algernon or Don Quixote

If you wonder why the Big Guy continues to embarrass himself, it's because he wants replies like this:

20. Please don't leave!

I know how hard it is and have cried many tears because of people like that as well. To be kicked when you're as low as can be is the worst feeling their is even by internet strangers. I think about you so often even with all my own troubles. Please, please, don't let the vipers here chase you away!

Brain atrophy. It does explain so much about Omaha Steve. The same could be said of most DUmmies.

I wonder if the epidemic of atrophied brains on Skins' Island is a cause or an effect?

GOBUCKS · « **Reply #8 on:** May 08, 2015, 03:02:03 PM »

Gotta believe this brain rot he nadined up is less deadly than his combination of morbid obesity, age, and sedentary habits.

Did he tell the blood drive people about his brain rot?

Sounds like mad cow - maybe gets into the bloodstream.

I'm a little concerned that we will have trouble detecting his rising dementia considering his state over the last few years.

At any rate, his promise to end it on his terms should provide top notch entertainment since he won't be able to resist spewing it all over DU. I don't want to give him ideas but, he could drag it out even further if he created a sock account for poor Marta.

I stopped reading at "brain atrophy". That afflicts everyone at the DUmp.

Of course I believe those should be played when any DUmbass kicks the bucket.

^^^yeah, that.

But it sounds nicer, dying of "brain rot" rather than "gross obesity."

Most of the mental problems and brain issues at DU can be linked directly to serious drug abuse in their youth.

I worked with my church in an outreach with former drug users and they all suffered from serious brain damage. They were free of their addictions, their bodies were healthy...but their minds were a shadow of their former selves.

This is why I am so against legalizing MJ. Its a gateway drug.
Seems drug use, brain damage and liberalism are all linked.

Actually, liberalism is a gateway drug. Administered by the Baby Boomer and gen X/Y parents

Liberalism is a mental disease.

Makes it hard to diagnose true mental illness in liberals, when they start with the deck stacked against them.

He's had frontal temporal disorder since childhood.

...or maybe, it happened when he was earning that CIB? I wonder how long he had to research that one in the quest for permanent disability.

They stacked the deck. That's why it should be no ones' responsibility but theirs, but we know the problem there.

Uh-huh.

The big guy's ignoring his gross obesity as a factor because it's something he can do something about, but he doesn't want to do a damned thing about anything. He'd rather just lay back and be a "victim."

And this guy had hopes of running Bellevue?

Considering OS's current situation brings to mind a profound entreaty by Rodney Dangerfield to Ted Knight while Ted was putting...

I agree, conditionally. It is, unquestionably, a gateway for the addictive disposed. Of course, the (D)Ullards will disagree completely.

I know plenty of people who can pick it up, put it down and not smoke for months and months.

Now that, I agree with completely.

He had this great idea for free natural gas.

It was a game changer.

But then he ran fourth in a field of four, so Bellevue still has to pay utility bills.
