He's in a psyche ward now and hopefully getting his head together, but that and everything else the last couple of months jusdt gently caress it, I don't know ehat the gently caress to do any more, I'm going to get another loving beer On the plus side: he didn't kill himself and he is now getting treatment. So that's sort of positive.

Even the unrepentant assholes here are given sympathy, and I'd bet that every one of us is willing to lend an ear or a shoulder if the need arises. Thanks, I'm just feeling a bit completely hosed out of shape and don't really know what the gently caress to do right now, for some reason I tend to apologise alot when I get this way. I didn't really know ocky that well though,he was my mother in laws nephew and severely disabled (wheelchair, nonverbal etc) but between that, my partners grandparents dying, the dog getting cancer and being put down and my mate trying to top himself in the last few months I'm just hosed man. Thanks for the support, I hope I'm worth the effort but hosed if I know anymore.

I spent almost 30 mins on the phone today with a talent acquisition person from a Science MegaCorp today. My details are being passed onto the actual, country manager. Good to see that I made it past first tiny hurdle

Thanks, true about the chat thread, you're all good blokes (and occasionally women or trans). Honestly I've been underemployed severely for about four years now and supportibg my partner, she suffers from arthritis severely and finally got that under control and properly medicated this year then got offered a job she loves completrely out of the blue and I was beginning to think that this year wouldn't be quite as bad as every other but then everything happened and I guess Iwas wrong. I'm just hosed and depressed and she's always telling me that I shouldn't be thinking like that but I can't not right now you kn ow. I'll be alright in the morning I guess, I usualljy am because what the gently caress else can you do but keep on hitting hte wall until it breaks if you can't find a way around it.?

It's because you're a man and men aren't supposed to have feelings or talk about them because you're supposed to be strong. Which is why when something really bad happens and you're forced to address them, it's really loving hard... Don't apologise for being human.

Could be, I can never quite figure out Iif I'm aspologising for having feelings or for dumping them on other people when I get overwhelmed. sorry about the typos by the way for those that care I might be a little bit pissed I think. I generally do alright talking about things up to a point and the just sort of crash and dump poo poo everywhere and end up apologigsing

You don't need to apologise to us. We've all been there and it is a tough time. Your ego takes a constant battering. But, and this is a big but, it shows that you care about her, that you are a strong partner and a Good Man. so, pat on your back from me.

Also I've changed my mind, don't go look at the aus GBS thread, apparently their sounding each other now or something. I haven't looked at the pic yet and don't plan too, but surely sticking your dick uo someone elses dick is just a bad idea all round.

After a lot of discussion with friends I'm fairly convinced I suffered a minor breakdown a couple of years ago and I was feeling the same way. I didn't think I could talk to anyone at the time because I was just being a pussy and needed to man up. Thanks society, for making me think that's how I should have reacted to crippling loneliness, depression, money issues, lack of sleep etc. No, I should have spoken to someone. All of those things can be addressed. My wife would have helped with anything she could, if she'd have known what was wrong. I've friends who'd have dropped everything and come seen me for as long as helping took, if they'd have known. I've family who'd have done the same. You almost certainly do too, whether you feel that or not.

my mum was out of the hospital for the last three days but the blood thinners they gave her aren't working so now she is swollen up again and probably has a clot in her lungs based on her mental state and blue fingers and lips, so an ambulance is on its way since we can't move her by ourselves without risking snagging a tube or something at this point I hope she passes soon so she doesn't have to suffer anymore

I woke up this morning to a message from my wife's grandma whom I let borrow my Cooper S until her car was straightened out that the clutch is severely slipping. No good deed goes unpunished.

funny Star Wars parody posted:at this point I hope she passes soon so she doesn't have to suffer anymore Bollocks that is terrible stuff. I am truly sorry to hear that because I am in no way ready should anything like that happen to me. I am the youngest of five kids and with my own little family growing I have had a lot of perspective happening about how we are at the point of life where we are replacing our parents and how our parents have truly replaced my grandparents. I completely see why there is such a thing as a mid-life crisis. My parents are getting older and it is difficult to see my mothers ailing health. Attending the funeral this weekend was tough because it forced me to think about the future more. I am envious that my kids aren't going to have the kinds of relationships with my parents as my older nieces and nephews. They are likely going to remember their grandma and grandpa that are older and have a hard time moving around and stuff. vvv EDIT: prayers, good wishes, etc your way vvv Somewhat Heroic fucked around with this message at 17:09 on Nov 15, 2016 |

keykey posted:I woke up this morning to a message from my wife's grandma whom I let borrow my Cooper S until her car was straightened out that the clutch is severely slipping. No good deed goes unpunished. Clutch is slipping in my wife's Kia again. Apparently, they only last 60K miles. I thought the first one was because of a novice driver we let borrow it, but the second one has only been driven by her and me, and we've both been driving manuals since we learned to drive. She doesn't abuse the clutch, and neither do I. Ordered a new LUK clutch kit from Amazon this morning. Only $100, but a clutch service in a FWD... Blargh. Hope I don't destroy my thumbnail again. Good fortune TT, whatever that turns out to be. edit: gently caress, should I resurface the flywheel? Get a new flywheel? I didn't do either last time, but I don't usually do either unless the flywheel is visibly worn, grooved, etc. Darchangel fucked around with this message at 18:01 on Nov 15, 2016 |

Darchangel posted:She doesn't abuse the clutch, and neither do I. I inquired about my wife's grandma's driving habits. She apparently abused the poo poo out of the clutch. She's only been borrowing it for going on 2 months. So far the cheapest quote I've received is $1,550+tax. $550 for parts (flywheel conversion kit with clutch) and the rest is labor since it's a bitch and a half to replace the clutch on an r53 Cooper S. She said originally she'd pay for the replacement, then heard the prices I'm being quoted then asked me to go in halves. I told her if I did that, I'm selling the car since that was my plan originally until she wrecked her PT Cruiser and my wife let her borrow my car until hers was fixed.
