This place has been a god send once I started staying home. There are truly some great people here. When I first started staying home I'd check this place 10+ a day but that went way down when I couldn't get the words to make sense. I can tell time is getting short so Im trying to come up with something while it's still on my terms.

You’re good my brother.

I'm keeping on but it's like driving with 2 flat tires.

I was hoping to do another GayDay but I can't muster the energy to do something "post worthy".

jdubya · 07-03-2023, 10:30 PM

I try to say this every day

I have a favor to ask. Say hi to Mad Max cp member that past from cancer years ago but I really missed him. You may run onto milkman he will undoubtedly call you a dumbass but he is wisdom. Also you may run into Flopnuts he carries his balls in a wheelbarrow. I'm asking because I'm not going to make it to Heaven

Just keep fighting. My wife battled stage 4 breast cancer for seven years. This was on the fridge and on one of the walls.

**HayWire** · 07-04-2023, 02:19 PM

Trust me I'm trying. Just having a little fun on my way out

**kysirsoze** · 07-04-2023, 02:59 PM

Just wanted to echo what a lot of other people have said in here. I don't think we've had a lot of interactions, but I've followed this thread closely. Sometimes you get so busy with just day to day things you don't think about the big, important stuff. How you've handled this tough road has been an inspiration and it's legitimately made an impact in how I interact with my family and friends. Thanks for your honesty, perspective and candor. Rooting for you to have as many good days as possible going forward.
