I just lost 2 more hours of my life on http://tvtropes.org

So using a similar fomula to the one you use to charge clients you'd probably owe your boss around $800? $400 for the first hour you wasted and a couple hundred every hour thereafter in a minimum 3 hour block I believe?

Is it wrong that while I hope the Hird to hospital thing isn't life threatening, I do hope that it is linked to whatever shit he was putting into his system during the black-ops days.

Yep not their fault he is who he is
It was really disgusting to see a Facebook post by Channel (fill in the blank, but pretty sure it was Channel 9) going on about mental health with the Lifeline/Beyond Blue telephone number, while they had probably 3 cameras outside his house waiting to get 'Breaking News'.

3 cannels are doing live crosses, that is shit, Tania looks like she's aged 10 years. I know where he lives , it's a tight street and must be bad for their neighbours , if I was them i'd be making life difficult for these networks. I'm sure if it was an anti- muslim rally the cops would move them on. Don't take that the wrong way, it's an example only.

If I was a neighbour I'd just call the police that they're being a nuisance.

mate with heart issues went back to melbourne post his xmas trip home

function is worse down to mid 30% drop of 20% pre xmas, valve leaking worse and on a liquid restriction

family pretty down about what the future is starting to look like, sombre news to get sorry for the overshare but its nice to have somewhere to just post a bit anonymously because I mean he is not my family etc so talking to people feels like you are looking for self pity perhaps

For me its more what do you say, their other son died already before a transplant now his brother got a transplant and is here, just sucks and their dad is a non involved prick with money who wont give them anything

just fun loving brothers who love the footy and just want to play sport, never been able to even play sport obviously

some of thats random thoughts i apologise just yeah shit news

Talking to other people is how you, as a friend, get through things like this - nothing about self pity at all.

I'm not great at saying the right thing either - tend to turn to mush.

If I were in your shoes I'd probably do something like send them a hamper and a card to say they're in your thoughts and you'll be there for them if they need you.

Take care TK

Cheers, just makes you angry. Hes only 20 this year and has seen this happen to his brother

His mum is a mess

Basically living like shit a lot of the time in hospital, you dont say it but you know what the conclusion will be


Just know it is cliche to say when bad things happen to good people around you but everyone make sure you cherish your loved ones and also your own life, enjoy it everyday because there are people who dont get the chance too

Yep. Live it, cherish it and cherish those you care about. Let them know you love them.

I passed a convoy of about 6 interstate 4WDs heading into my little town yesterday morning.

When I met those same people later in the afternoon, a woman was a widow, her teenage son no longer had a Dad and everyone else had lost a mate.

Yep. The last few years there just seems to be really shitty things happening to really good people. A colleague at work has lost her father, brother and two aunties in the space of 18 months, mum has developed dementia and sister in law has just been diagnosed with cancer. She is a very religious woman but even has her questioning her faith.

Also have a father of a student who has been diagnosed with 8 inoperable brain tumours 12 months after getting the all clear after surviving stage 4 stomach cancer. The kids not even 12. Makes me grateful for every day I get to share with my olds. It's why going to the footy with my mum an grandfather has been such valued time.

The like is for the time you spend with your family.

The rest is just shitful.

I need to stop looking at the Bulldogs board, I guess I am still salty about you know what, and I thought I'd moved on, too :(

Never looked, their fans thoughts are not interesting to me

Id like to know how our players felt more so

Onwards and upwards i guess

Jeez guys.

I really feel for you all. I hope you all have some support. Big or small. Be it an annon poster on an online forum or 20 close family/friends all clambering to help.

FWIW I feel that we are a great community on here & I count you regular posters as friends. We interact & talk more than I do with many other irl friends & family. I really appreciate the outlet this board has provided me the last few years & I hope it helps you when times are tough going too.
