mom's bf was in so much pain today. he gets ativan and morphine in shitlord amounts q4h and as needed morphine, up to once per hour. was still all in pain a lot of today. plus has a fentanyl patch on. finally just started seeming more comfortable. my mom's friend L is also staying here tonight so i'm out in the family room on my tablet.

honestly this is the best case forr euthanasia i could imagine. he's in so much pain, death rattle, wants to die. if i wouldnt get caught i think i could actually smother him and not feel bad about it ultimately. i mean it'd be hard but it would really be the right thing to do. alas, not willing to go to jail.

my friend's uncle had been very sick the last few years, I'm not sure with what. I guess things were getting bad quickly and he knew before long he wouldn't be able to make this kind of choice, so he killed himself the other night. it's shocking and sad of course, but really that is the best way to go in that kind of situation, or at least to me it would be. I think it's pretty sick that doctor assisted suicide is still something frowned upon almost everywhere.

haha well the last few times I have posted pictures of myself here they have been intentionally ugly/douchey, but thanks. I never used the internet to get in touch with women when I was a teen. I was painfully shy and my social anxiety prevented me from approaching girls at all until they just sort of started coming to me, and that kept me spoken for by various people for the better part of the last ten years. But yeah I may go ahead and get on some dating sites. honestly I don't know if I can be in a relationship right now, but I would like to start dating/hopefully break my sexual dry spell at some point. Tinder is pretty addictive and I both love and hate it. It's a really interesting and evil social experiment and it has made me uncomfortably aware of the way I judge women. I've gotten a decent number of matches but then I'm just not sure what to say, can't seem to keep the conversation going.

Wish I had some. I'm not buying any more booze until I move so I'm clearing out old stuff. No Bloom to drink. Just finished my Bombay dry.

[redbreegull]

here it is

[teh b0lly!!1]

looks like somebody dripped their period blood in your cocktail there buddy

[redbreegull]

good I love periods. in my drinks.

[duovamp]

10/10 Would drink until I get belligerent and threaten strangers

[reprise85]

R is still alive. he had a bad few hours last night, really bad. they were giving him more morphine like every half hour. now he's mostly non-responsive, he does squeeze a hand once in a while. i believe he might be able to hear us but can't respond.

the nurse today told me he thinks he'll die today. his breathing is very shallow. this morning is oxygen saturation was 70 and his bp was 65/33. but he's peaceful now, no pain today that we could tell. his body is completely limp except for some random jerks and hand squeezing.

a rabbi came in today to talk to us. R is a lutheran so i'm not sure why they sent a rabbi but none of us is religious anyway. he was nice, said some prayer over him, listened to the whole story of what happened to R. so basically he got his last rights by a rabbi. which is sort of hilarious. that's boca raton for you.

No shame in drinking alone. I work weird differing schedules each week, and on my time off I enjoy knocking back several beers and just going with the flow. Too many people feel like they can only drink if they're with company... Not so.

[teh b0lly!!1]

i dunno the mere thought of sitting alone in a bar ordering drinks and trying to initiate contact with strangers trying to enjoy their evening makes me sick

so sick i wish i'd die

I'm not sure what Tinder is (never used it) but with POF women do write ups about their interests and what not... So taking a common ground is always a good ice-breaker... It's a little different than Nexopia was though... Teenage girls would list all their favorite bands and you could just chime in "Oh sweet! You like the Pumpkins!? SD rocks!" or some bullshit like that and the ice would be broke.

I think if you have social anxiety that a platform like this might be more comfortable for you.

It's easier if you get a nice buzz going on before hand. Try going to local shows or seeing artists performing live, it's a much more social atmosphere... Bring a joint out to the smoke pit, you'll be having fun socially in an instant.

It's also just fun drinking some beers at home and kicking back... Doesn't necessarily have to be in an outing sort of setting.

[Elphenor]

Fuzzy is in no position to give advice on this

[teh b0lly!!1]

yeah i was gonna say getting drunk alone at home doesn't really seem like sound advice

[fuzzyroes]

why not? If you're super stressed and miserable why not set aside some time to enjoy yourself, even if it is by the result of alcohol? You deserve it B0lly.

[reprise85]

I thought you were quitting drinking fuzzy

Also insert foolofatook joke here

[Cool As Ice Cream]

no one wants to hear anything you have to say, fuzzy.

just something to think about.

[Elphenor]

Lol

[Cool As Ice Cream]

it's funny 'cause it's true

[FlamingGlobes]

If you're drinking just to get drunk, then doing it alone is just sad. And dangerous.

However, there is nothing wrong with having a few drinks alone after a long day at work. Or at least that's what I tell myself.

[duovamp]

I know someone who carved a pumpkin into a jack-o-lantern and named it Jim so he specifically would have a drinking buddy.

[Reggaeluv2000]

Hence the drinking thread....you're not getting drunk alone if you are posting on netphoria

Yeah I was. Then I was just bored outta my mind a lot. So now I practice drinking and finding that "drunk line" and not crossing it. I've been very successful thus far... Haven't done anything stupid yet.

I don't see why drinking has to be strictly a social thing. What difference does it makes if you have some knucklehead with you drinking as well? I understand the sentiment behind it, but hey, sometimes it's fun just getting drunk spending hours watching music videos on youtube.

I've just learned the meaning of vicarious embarrassment
