This year I have not been at this forum very much, I haven't posted much at all because this year has been arguably the scariest year I've ever had, and it just hit its peak this morning, and I just need a place or two to vent.
See, Earlier this year My Uncles Cancer took a very nasty turn, where his quality of living went straight downhill. he died about two months ago, but I have no regrets with that because I already told him how much I loved him. Then there's the fact my Mother's work fired her not once, but twice because of incompetent management, so she has been unemployed until recently, which means money is tight around here. Also this year, my father started having heart problems, which was topped off with Double bypass surgery ALSO about two months ago....So...He's recovered nicely, my father, and his heart is 100% healthy, so I was just beginning to feel at ease when my Grandmother, my last grandmother, found a lump. After two weeks of baited breath, the diagnosis is Lymphoma, a form of cancer. Not very cool, to say the least.
I love my grandmother, but now my parents have to face reality and are planning for the imminent arrival of my Grandfather, of who suffered a stroke a few years ago and is somewhat confined to a wheelchair. This place is not wheelchair accessible, we haven't the room, which means there's going to be construction work needed that we really can't afford to extend our house for him.
So yeah. Not a very Holly Jolly or Thanks Giving year so far. Sufficed to say I'm....very frustrated. Can't catch a break anywhere this year.
-
I'm sorry to hear that. So the grandparents are going to be moving in with you?
-
Something along that line will happen, though what exactly I don't know.
-
do keep us updated. We're all dicks, but we still care. That's actually the basis of this board and what unites everyone in it. We all are sympathetic to mankind in some way, but passionately hate a huge portion of the world and find it hard to relate to people in real life, in various ways. So vent. Vent and be merry.
Except for Faye. I still can't figure this lady out.
-
When I get'em, You'll get'em.

hey hey! :angry: just because i dont care shit for some people in here doesnt mean i dont care for someothers! E for example, I hope everything goes fine with u!
-
There's no hate in your heart.
-
Yeah, she's like an Ewok. Well, not the evil ones, but you get the idea.
-
I wanna kick ewoks.

Megs, I think you need an official fan club. :)
And yes, Emmy, please let us know what's up when you have time.
*big hug*

Here's a dick of an update:
My Grandmother doesn't even know yet. She went to the Doctors with my Aunt Butchie...Questionable as she is, and She hasn't even told Grandma yet. Keep in mind they went last week at least.
The FUCK.
-
Why would the doctor tell your aunt but not your grandma?
-
Because Bush was elected.

Of course I fucking do. Once you all know who Zombert is, there will be one. ha ha ha ha.... :lol:
-
Zombert sounds like a renegade Dilbert character.
Beat up that aunt until she coughs it up. She had no business keeping pertinent medical information about your grandma from her.
-
Zombert is undead ME.
-
I didn't know you had died. My condolences.
-
ss...hank you..
-
BTW, don't try to eat my brains. I'm not into that.
-
Yeah, uum.
That's ......... not what I'd be eating.... :huh:
-
Why, is something wrong with my brain!? Too dumb? Too fat? Too coloured!? Too poor? Too groovy? Do not oppress me!
-
Hmm. :blink: I wonder if you actualy got the joke, and you're just brushing it off.
-
DON'T INCLUDE TITO IN THIS!
-
I got the "joke". Vagina denied!
-
Who offered Megs a he-boobie sighting? Maybe he'll volunteer his mangina as well.
-
o.O
I am now disturbed.
-
Yeah. Let's just.......leave...... this topic. Quickly.
-
MANGINA!
-
WELL Grandma will find out today. ANd go completely hysterical....
As it turns out, Butchie told my dad she had Lymphoma, Butchie told Nene, my other aunt, that Grandma was alright and it wasn't cancer.
I'm going to physically throttle that woman when I get my hands on her.
-
What the hell is wrong with her? Why did she do that?
-
Mind Games/Power games. She knows the truth, we don't...I don't know. This is the SECOND person in my family that has given me the very real urge for violence...
My Dad and Mom are going down today to talk to Grandma.....
-
Sorry, Ems - I have no idea why people have to pull that shit, but you're right about the powet games. It's emotional manipulation, and it'll come back to bite her sooner or later, trust me. Every damn place Eddie's mom had lived, people have allegedly "abused" her, however, when Eddie was in a frenzy and threatening to call authorities, etc., she would always back down. Finally, after the time she squatted in my dad's house for two months (while we were trying to get it ready to sell, no less) and Eddie's brother called & asked him how he could let ME abuse her, he realized the abuse claim was her version of having a little tantrum because she wanted attention. :P
-
Apparently Grandma and grandpa refused to really talk about it today, so relatively nothing was said. Gyyyaaaah. I wonder what else is in store for the rest of this year...
-
That really bites. It's difficult enough to deal with this sort of thing without the lies... Best of luck to you.
-
I've just been informed of what was really discussed yesterday between my parents and grandparents. As far as I'm concerned now? Lymphoma is too damn good a death for her.
All pity and sympathy I had for her or my grandmother evaporated when I was informed that my grandmother not only brushed aside the subject of her cancer when discussing it with my parents, but claimed that my father owes them FIFTY GRAND for all the favors/money lending that she's given our family over the years.
See, my father got a settlement from the company he used to work for about a year ago, and my grandmother is under the impression that it was in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. WELL That's totally off the mark by a very large margin.
How DARE she bring up money to US, US. My Family does not have that kind of money! How dare she bring up money when she has cancer! To US, let alone period! We've helped her and helped her so much over the years, but looking back on it now she's always been a conniving, greedy person that's only concerned for what you can do for her, so this particular incident shouldn't suprise me in the least. I guess I was hoping she wasn't as bad a person as I thought she was. How mistaken I was...
. And my grandfather's no better, he has no balls to confront her about it or anything of the sort, so screw them both. Cancer be damned. I'm not wasting any sympathy on them.
FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKING BAD YEAR.
-
:( On the bright side it's November. That means it's almost over.
-
And there'll be a day this month and the next when you can gather with the family and friends you love so much to devour a precious animal slaughtered in a factory farm.
-
Immediate family and Aunt Dana, really. Grandma Harding used to come down for Thanksgiving with a friend of the family, David...Man...he could really play a piano...
...I miss Grandma Harding now.
-
:huh: Jesus Christ, Emerid.
-
I know your family wouldn't do it Emmy, but it's people like her who need to be abandoned in a nursing home. Or maybe this is her way of trying to exert some control or influence since her life is now out of her hands, really, or "even the scale" in a weird sort of way since she'll be moving in & dependent on your family.
I told my nephew that if I ever start acting like this or get obsessed with bowel movements to leave all the pills where I could reach them. B)
-
Oh Like HELL She's moving in here now. They have stated firmly that "They Aren't moving and don't want to talk about moving." SO, Despite the Chemotherapy she will most likely be enduring, and despite the arguement my aunt says that "Chemotherapy won't get her that sick", they will probably be not moving in here. Probably for the best, because if she even tried any of her manipulative tricks on myself or my younger brother? Heh. She'll only suceed in frustrating herself.
-
:huh: Jesus Christ, Emerid.
He ain't currently lookin' favorably on my family, man.
-
Update: Given a week or so to cool off, I'm not nearly as pissed as I was when I posted that first bit against my grandmother, though I will never look at her the same again.....
Still haven't heard much, she's gone in for a catscan and a couple other tests...Nothing really new yet.
