I'm so scared right now! My 90 year old grandpa might be die due to a blockage in his intestines of some sort unless he has this surgery which may or may not be successful.

He is all the way down in Florida and I'm all the way up in Michigan and I'm probably going to have trouble sleeping tonight because of how likely he is going to die and I'm usually not worried about this stuff!

Hope everything goes well for you.

I still am. My feet turn in, and I'm just a wee bit slow to reaction. One time at the Sears in my hometown, I didn't get both feet on the damn step at the same time, and wound up going knee first on a corner of one of the stairs. I screamed (my mom was mortified, keep in mind I was 15), and wound up just sitting on a stair the whole ride down. I still have several small scars on my knee from it.

I really hope he pulls through. I think we all do.

No matter what happens, we're here for you.

I second that.
I hope your Grandpa survives. I wish you the best of luck.
 
yeah, he is my badass Slovak grandpa btw and I would hate to lose him even though he is 90 and getting up there.

Well, nothing lasts forever, and we all have to go at some point.

Except for your grandfather. Old badass Slovaks are the exception to the rule, they're simply too cool to die, and it would be unjust if he did.

In all seriousness though, should the worst happen, you can always take solace in the fact that he died knowing you loved him and that he lived a rich, fulfilling life. Even if he doesn't make it, he'll always live on in spirit! I know you feel like there's something you have to tell him. If he makes it through the surgery (and I'm really hoping he does), that's all the more reason to spend more time with him and get closure on the things you were always curious about. Seeing my grandfather in the hospital so many times made me want to know more about him, I know that much.

Some people wake up every single day with a smile on their face, asking themselves the same question each morning. "How am I going to be productive today?"

I'm clearly not one of these people.

In all fairness, though, I always do some good when the opportunity arises. Not that many come my way, though. It's not in me to wish for more opportunities. That's in fate's hands. To deliberately seek more opportunities and go out of one's way to have these things come their way, in my opinion, doesn't make someone a better person. The best way to test one's willingness to do good is in the unexpected events we're given from time to time and observing their reactions. Even in the ways of self improvement, it's better to take things slowly and appreciate every opportunity that comes by rather than desperately rushing in to improve one's self to bolster their own appearance or simply because they "have to."

I should probably stop here before I turn this into some shitty Facebook post. The point being that I feel unproductive today, yet I know I'm capable of doing good.
 
so I've mentioned in the past that I visit my old teacher once a month, mainly because I'm lonely due to unemployment, I like talking to him, he's still hot after all these years, and my heartstrings pull for him (in the past few years, he has become crippled).

I was in Staples (office supply store) today, and I realized that he totally smells like Staples. That totally makes me swoon, I love the smell of office supply stores. :heart-full:

I was also at the craft store today, and some kid had a hell of a time on the paint aisle:

My paternal grandfather had dementia, and chances are my dad and possibly one of my siblings or I are likely candidates to have it when we get older. I worry about it all the time. Best of luck to your grandmother and your family.

At least you're not like my dad who thought my buffalo chicken sandwich would go better on wheat with red onions and no sauce as opposed to the delicious white bread, lettuce, and ranch dressing I'm used to.
 
This kitty has had enough of loneliness and wants to go to his first gay bar.

I'm very, very nervous though. So I'll probably puss out and spend my saturday night programming like usual.

Despite the fact that I like flirting with guys online a lot for some odd reason (specifically feminine looking catboys such as yourself, apparently), I don't think I'd ever go to a gay bar/gay club/gay function. Even if school is forcing me to be a little more social and I'm going out with friends on a semi regular basis, I'd still rather stay in or go somewhere else like the library or something. I really love the library for some reason, even if it officially means nobody's ever going to touch me. Ever...

If all else fails, we can send each other nudie pics... ;3

Okay, no. That's how the last mod here got banned.

Speak of the devil, my dad just called and asked what I wanted from Subway, and since I didn't know what there was, I just said buffalo chicken on white bread, lettuce, and ranch dressing.

Better not screw up this time...

Subway is dogfood (imo) One thing I really like about living in the Philadelphia area is real-ass hoagies.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Same thing happened to mine,it's a horrible thing to have to see them go through.
 
Hey, guess what! My 90 year old Slovak grandpa is going to live and he is doing much better! He's getting discharged tomorrow morning.

Even though he does have a few scares here and there, he is still one of the healthiest 90 year olds some of his doctors have ever met.
