I am getting the day off regardless, so I can't give a shit. Poor Kate, she is matched up to a balding prince, sounds just like the horror arranged marriage to me.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Im going to the wedding.....

 

[FreedomEclipse]

[FreedomEclipse]

Lost one of my gaming buddies to the big C on Friday morning.



He'll be missed by all that had the honour of knowing him. F'ing great guy.

R.I.P. Chris.

Nah, a Scottish lad named Chris Lake - 25 years old - Lymphoma sufferer for a year. I honestly thought he was going to beat it.

A lot of respect for that guy.

Hey, I'm really sorry for your loss, dude. I've lost a few people now, some quite recently too and know how it feels. It's that empty zone now, isn't it?

I'm quite bad with death now. My grandmother whom lived with us since I was 2 died last month and the first thing i thought when I found out was "What would a normal person do in this situation?".
It's as if I've evolved into a Vulcan. I completely suck at this whole "human" thing.

Does that mean you didn't feel any strong emotions? Might be better this way, or it can damage you severely.

Crying would be a good start.

I didnt meet my grandfather until I was 8years old and even then I only got to see him like once every 4-5years when i was able to go and visit. Just because I met him less then 5 times in my life doesnt mean his passing was any less painful.

I hardly new the man but he was family

 

[razaron]

I completely lack strong emotions. So I don't feel the slightest bit like crying. At least I cried a bit when my dad died (cancer seems quite common) but even that was only a bit (manly one-tear-down-left-cheek kind of crying) one night and when I saw my grandmother crying.

Now to show off my superiority to you petty humans. I'm supposed/used to have anger problems but that seems to have been replaced with an on-off switch for quasi adrenaline rushes. And being the weak person I am they help immensely when moving heavy things.

the darkside is strong with this one....

 

[MilkyWay]

People dying i guess its just circle of life and that. Most people are sycophants so they make funerals about themselves/making people feel better. A funeral is a place to just remember the person that died, good or bad it doesnt matter. Feel whatever you want to feel because only you know the experiences you've had. Missing a person is natural too as long as its not for selfish reasons.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

how can you miss someone and be selfish at the same time??? I thought selfish people only thought about themselves. Unless youre thinking about the person that did all your house cleaning and moaning like a bitch because he/she passed away suddenly leaving you in the shit with a messy house and yellow pages looking for a new cleaner?

 

[Bo$$]

In Spain we got a saying that translates "Live off your parents until you're old enough to live off your children".

thats a good one actually

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Pitty for my dad -- when the time comes for me (and my sister) to leave home for good. we're both going to vanish off the face of each others worlds. shame he doesnt quite know it yet. but he had it coming.

Sh*t man, that's what I got, Lymphoma (on the left side of my abdomen - you can see the lump and everything lol); I had 4 doctors, 3 nurses, 2 sonar scans and a partridge in a bla bla, and the guy who actually found out what I've got was a paramedic at the Summer Solstice festival at Stonehenge. He put a stethoscope on my chest and back and could tell what I had just by hearing my breathing!!
I've had it checked countless times over the last 9 years, and it's never got bigger or changed or anything, so I cross my fingers whilst chalking myself as a lucky one.

On a lighter note, qubit has given some good input on the MKMods donation rig, I hope he doesn't mind me quoting him from a PM:

I think a more worthy cause, is to give it to someone who's got a debilitating physical and/or mental disability who can't work and is on benefit. You know they'll appreciate it and will be unlikely to do something ungrateful like selling it.

I'll bet calling up your council and talking to social services, could dig up a suitable recipient. There's also lots of charities out there helping out these sorts of people, so perhaps they might be good to contact?

Finally, is there a thread for this topic on TPU yet? If not, would it be a good idea for yourself to start one? I'll then advertise it in my sig.

Unfortunately, because my TPU visits are few and far between at the moment, could someone else make the thread please, as I'll be unable to maintain/update it in a timely manner?

Oh, and FYI, Israar is the other brainchild behind this idea... he's contributed a ton of ideas to this project, and no doubt his name will end up in my sig in the very near future.

Sorry to hear about the lymphoma, i'll make the thread if you want as i'm on tpu everyday normally, just tell me what you want in the thread and i'll do my best to answer people's questions and keep track of who has what, i won't be able to do anything regarding the actual building of the rig however so all i'd be doing is organising

Sweet, cheers man, it's good you can contribute if someone who's good with words could write up a framework for the thread and PM it to cheesy pleasy, that'll get the ball rolling I've gotta go out but I'll be back later.
Oh yea, there's a good chance Mark's (MKMods) Mum and Brother will spot the thread and pop by, so gotta remember to keep it nice

Previous ideas:
we was talking about maybe doing a certificate, or a bit of artwork engraved on the side window that contains the usernames of the donaters or something like that?

just want to make sure all the donaters have a say in what happens, and we can all chuck ideas at eachother and see what we come up with.

Also, what I quoted from qubit 2 posts above...

 

[FreedomEclipse]

I was gonna say that id throw in a hard drive of some sort. but after looking around, it seems im already given the spare one i had away for the price of a beer.....

Any sort of idea on what kind of a system we are putting together?

think its being made up as we get the parts, you can't really decide what your gonna do before you've got the parts, a better question would be if its going to be a standard build or modded into a custom build with flamethrowers on it etc and that'll be scaminatrix decision

Yea, we'll just build it around what we get as we go along. Whether it has flamethowers or lazers, that's community decision it would be nice if we knew who it's going to first, so we can build it for their needs. You never know, a Q6600 might be too much for the person it goes to; depending on their needs.

i'm sure we can find someone who's PC has melted or something.

I just hate when people start to turn others pain into their own, its pretty narcissistic. When you only care about someones death or someones anguish because you lose out on something is pretty selfish, someones dead and you can only think of yourself is pretty selfish. That is what i meant. Also could be litterally meaning to miss out of rides to work or housekeeping as you suggested.

I wonder if you could donate the rig to a charity of some sort rather than give it to a forum member?

EDIT: The problem with giving it to a forum member is that a lot of us have rigs already and then if its a full midi tower rig it will be a bitch to post/deliver. local places need computers too doesnt have to be sent to some other country if you do give it to some form of charity.
