Alzheimers?

Shawnee123 · 08-20-2010, 08:19 AM

Sheesh. Just found out a woman in another office had a massive heart attack last night and passed away. I didn't know her except in passing, but she was really nice. An immediate cow orker gave her rides to work quite often, and I bet he is very upset (and not here today.)

Life's short, people. Live as well and happy as you can.

Not exactly upsetting, but a lot more than mildly irritating or groove scorching, is the state of Australia's election.

It looks like we will have a hung parliament, with the largest bloc (73 - 76 needed for a majority) being the Lib/Nat coalition, headed by Tony "the Mad Monk" Abbot. I do not want him to be PM. His attitudes would have gone well in about 1935; got elected largely by manipulating xenophobia about boat people.

The best thing is a substantial swing to the Greens, my party of first preference, but they just managed to win their first lower-house seat, and are a decade of phenomenal growth away from actually being a government.

So, in general: crap. Next election might be three years away. Unless the minority government thing doesn't work - then we might be back at the polls sooner.

It's official. Two spots on my arms, one on my shoulder, and a new one on my scalp. The cancer is back. $3000 to take care of the last patch and I damn well don't have the the extra cash to take care of this shit.

If you had to choose between treating stupid but ugly cancers and your kid's very real mental issues which would you choose? Yeah, me too.

limey · 08-22-2010, 03:36 AM

Oh Lookout! but you need to look after you so that you can look after the little one ...

Clodfobble · 08-22-2010, 09:06 AM

Remember that his mental issues will not be served by losing his dad early on... Does "ugly" mean "completely, 100% benign, and there's absolutely no chance we're wrong about that?" Because otherwise, take care of yourself.

Griff · 08-22-2010, 09:21 AM

Sorry man.

classicman · 08-22-2010, 02:48 PM

ugghhh tough choices. Any help from the state available?

That sucks LO, hope you're able to find help. There should be state or federal resources....

There should be national health care or at least affordable insurance that actually pays claims, but that's a different story.

Sorry to hear about that Lookout, but I'll jump on the bandwagon to say, you need to stay healthy for your kids.

morethanpretty · 08-25-2010, 09:27 AM

Mine is partially my own fault...I lost a friend, as in they stopped being my friend I guess.
Here's the story the best I can tell it...
Friend and I hung out, got a bit drunk. Her fiance called...got pissed that she was hanging out with me and my B/F (I think her fiance is a little-dicked emotionally abusive loser idiot). He breaks up with her because she can't be trusted. I attempt to make her feel better, a little bit happens b/t her and I. (My B/F is perfect OK with this)....
Next day, come to find out her (now ex) fiance told her parents (she lives with them) that she had drunk with me. She's 21 in 2wks but still got in trouble. Haven't talked to her since, I just figured it was 'cuz she was in trouble.
Well, we were supposed to have a class together (I was only taking it to take with her). It started yesterday, and she wasn't there. She dropped it without telling me. Apparently she's back with the abusive fiance and doesn't want to talk to me. I have no reason to take that class now. I dropped it, but can only get 70% refund. If she had told me by 8/22...I coulda gotten a full refund.

Trilby · 08-25-2010, 10:25 AM

I don't know what to say other than I'm sorry, Lookout - that truly sucks.

And MTP - was she *really* a friend???
