So.. Im OLD SCHOOL Chatholic... I am a ULC Preast... BUT... Ok... Hypthetical.. What would or SHOULD be done in this situation... Imagine.. If you will.. One of your WORST enemies ever came to you and said that they needed a priest. They made you SWEAR to the confesional.. And the trust that contains. Then they told you that they where dieing from an intential overdose. I am a Priest... If I break the trust of the confesional no one can EVER come to me again... But if I dont.. well.. I have SEEN first hand where suicides go.... It ISNT pretty. And we ARE dealing with his imortal soul. I dont feel that I am breaking anything HERE as this is somewhat anonymous... Youy dont know him, but I do. EVERYTHING in me SCREAMS call the ambulance.... EXCEPT the confesional. How do I betray him without betraying him? BTW... I kinda need help on this RIGHT NOW... I dont know WHAT to do here. I have faced this before and the man died.... I am QUITE sure that he is in hell for it. But I take the santaty of ther confessional QUITE seriously... What the HELL amn.... What a trip to dump on me.. BUT.. I am the only Priest he has.. who else COULD he dump it on? **...

For a friend in chat...

Oh brother, my heart and my prayers go out to you... What horrible thing to endure. But he died a hero's death man... A TRUE Hero, and he should always be remembered as such. I know that it may be of little comfort, but try to keep in mind that if this was the sort of person he was, then he died in service to his inner most heart and being... Indeed I doubt he could have stopped himself even if he had tried. Remember: John 15:13 King James Version (KJV) 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. My brother, your son will sit at the right of the Father, WITH Jesus, for his brave, noble and selfless act... Of THIS I have no doubt.

Well.. Hurting like a SON of a **... But I made it. Everything went off ok and they let me go... The maximum dose of Dalada, AND lortabs AND ultrums... Still hurting badly. God help me when the dalada wears off... But hopefully this wont last long. I want to thank all you awesome people again for your prayers, energy, luck and well wishes... I truly do believe that it makes a huge difference... In fact that has been scientifically demonstrated, but thats a thread for itself and I aint up to it today.. At any rate, you people ROCk and have helped me a great deal, thank you, all of you, SO much!!!!

Thanks everybody.. Sorry I havent been around, but Ive been staying with friends and family closer to the hospital... An update... They switched my thing on the 22nd all way till Oct. because they have to put me under for both things and they refuse to put me asleep twice inside of 6 weeks time... Dont know if thats just standard or has to do with my lungs... Either way, I wont be sure about my guts and if they healed right until then. I DID test positive for the H-pylori virus, which isnt actually a virus (even though they call it that) but a baceria that eats holes in the stomach... So at least now I know the root cause of all that. I will be starting treatment for it, but will have to check with the sergoen first and find out if I start it before or after the next cutting... It HAS to be done though or it will continue to eat holes.. and there isnt enough stomach left to cut out any more. Thats about it... Just kinda waiting around for the 13th right now... On the bright side, I REALLY like my new Primary Doctor! Shes a woman which is sometimes a little disconcerting, BUT she explained a couple things going on with me RIGHT off the bat.. Stuff that I had been TRYING to get answers from the others from for some time. And to boot, she is for drug legalization across the board.. and as you you guys know me well, despite my own not using "illegal" drugs, it is a HUGE hot button political issue with me, so its a BIG plus to have a doc that actually thinks along the same lines as I do... A moral boost if nothing else... Pretty much thats all thats going on right now.. Staying sick, tired and weak, but still kicking and even getting some stuff done around my trailer now that the girls and the baby are not here all the time...So all and all, Im doing pretty ok given the cercumstances... I certainly do appreceate all you guys prayers and well wishes... Healing energy is a BIG thing and I know Im gonna be ok with so many great people pulling for me!

So VERY cool my most treasured feline! When is it due (Simply says "forthcoming") and how will we be ordering exactly? Hehe.. we seem to be short a "local Oxford office" or two here in the mountains of VA.. I know this will be something of a sacrilege, but will there be an Ebook version as well?

Yeah Im ok brother.. Basically got so worn out that I just totally spaced Sunday... Gonna try to be here this next one though... Thanks for thinking about me!

Thanks guys... I think Im gonna be ok this go round, I am getting the hang of it at this point after all! LOL Seriously, its all good... I aint even stressed about it really, just wanting it all OVER ya know? I'll heal a heck of allot faster from this stuff I think... Especially with you guys on my side!

Havent been around much the bast couple seeks... Lots going on... Mostly worn out from almost constant doctor visits etc... I guess I got a couple more surgeries coming up this month. Nothing near as serious as before, but getting seriously tired of the whole doctor thing all together. Anyway.. Hernia surgery on the 13th and then some "procedure" on thew 22nd to check and see if my stomach healed right or not.. will know about more on that front then... THEN I get to start messing around with the bone doc about my knee and hip... I imagine he will will be sitting in his office, sharpening HIS knife, when I go to see him! LOL

She used to.. In fact she did one for the owner of tribal.. Havent talked with her in quite awjile though. She tried to contact me here, but was banned again before I could respond... Of course you can PM me LOL, I'll try and get hold of her if I can...

This was my ex Vickie... Dont know WHY they banned her again, but yes she is EXTREAMLY talented...

Yes, but many people dont know this... I knew it was a scam right off, but called to confirm anyway and see what I could find out.. according to the lady atthe bank today has been a pretty big day for this particular one...

Aww... Thank you my sweetest of Lady Dragons! But really i was just answering the question ya know? Is love worth it.. worth all the suffering, all the heart break and pain? ABSOLUTELY... It is worth EVERYTHING..

I just got a text message on my phone that said it was a "National Bank Alert" and went on to say that that my bank card starting with #### (real numbers) had been deactivated and please call this number (followed by a phone number). I instead called my bank and they told me NOT to respond to this under any circumstance that it was indeed a scam. and it was not only effecting my bank but other banks and customers as well. They DID get the first four digits of my card right, however I was told they ONLY have those first four and somehow plan to con the rest of the digits out of you during the call.. Again, DO NOT RESPOND if you receive a similar message, this is a scam!

I have been heart broken so many times, and in so many ways that I cannot even begin to relate it all.... i told you I didnt have very good luck with relationships.. Just the tip of the iceberg for example, my current GF has cancer, AND she is going away to prison for quite some time in the very near future. My last GF is now a hooker for drugs in WV. The one before her? Her ashes hold a prominent spot in what was once our home... Still.. I would not change a single moment with any of them... Well, ok maybe i would change the "bad' moments... Still though, whether I am with them or not, whether they are alive or not, I cherish each of them and would not trade the love that I have for them for anything in the world..

My grandmother died from it... I took care of for years before hand, but yeah it can go from being a fairly stable decline to a full fledged free fall in no time. I will pray for you and your family as well brother I know it can take one heck of a toll on those who love the one involved...You will need strength and peace, I pray you will have it...

Great tip Josh! Absolutely buying in bulk in any way that you can always saves and sometimes it saves HUGE!

Hey guys! Been doing fairly well healing and all... Still have a rough day here and there, but all and all I'm getting pretty strong again. It'll be a long time before I get back to what i was I think, and they are talking like I will be on O2 and meds the rest of my days... But as long as I can have a beer once in awhile (Shhh! I didnt TELL 'em about the still! LOL) I'll be fine... They dont call that stuff the elixir of LIFE for nothing ya know? I havent been on for a couple weeks... Life... Shakes head.. Its been pretty nuts for awhile. Of course THATS normal for me so maybe i ~AM~ getting back in the swing of things! LOL I missed you guys too.... I dont get to be home often these days and this is where most of my nets at is all.. be here a few days this time, i THINK...

Yeah he knows... And he isnt all that fond of the idea, nor am I, but the harsh reality (he says) is that i'm simply not GONNA be 100% for at least 6mos to a year... And the bills are piling up ya know? It is what it is bro... We exist in a slave based economy... There isnt much that I can do but roll with it ya know? Shrugs... Thanks for the concern though... And yeah I am gonna keep on eye on things... Aint no "workers" paycheck worth serious injury for.. The only paychecks worth that are those of the guys who have NO risk of serious injury! What a world huh? LOL

Ok.. Missed monday.. Some HMO snafu thing... Finally got in today. So.. lets see;; They take my spleen, half my stomach, rework all my pipes and then give me surgical pneumonia... NOW, today the doc says I have a hernia thats gonna need operated on, on top of the rest of it!!! Jeezzee.. Anybody else get the feeling that I need to stay the heck AWAY from doctors??? LOL Anyway.. He cleared me for work... said just use common sense and not do too much.. stay off the pain pills at work since I use saws and such, and because the pain is there to tell me when I push too hard... Two months I go get a camera in my guts to make sure everything is right... Other then that I guess Im gonna be ok... He even said I could have a beer after work once in awhile so maybe life wont be too bad after all... Now to get him to agree to let me have bacon cheese burgers! Thanks for all ya prayers and such guys... I absolutely believe they are as important as "medicine" in the healing process...

Well, not back in the hospital just yet... But i have to back (AGAIN!) to the doc on monday and if its no better then the, well... Shrugs... At least i have learned some new things because of all this... I learned that MAN, I really, really, REALLY hate hospitals!!!! LOL

Not that I know of around here bro... Mostly here its AoG, Baptist and Pentecost... With a few snake handler churches tossed in here and there...

Blah!!! Damn doc wanted to send me off to the ER today. Aint healing up right, and there is a swollen hard and painful place there... But I have to see the surgeon who did it tomorrow, so I talked him into waiting till then... Guess he'll send me in for an MRI, and depending on how that looks, I'll either be back here, or I'll be back in the hospital... We'll see. If i go ~PUFF~ again, you'll know where I'm at... This craps really starting to get old fast...

Thanks guys... Im working on it... But seem to be healing VERY slowly. I did try to work one day last week (very light duty), but ended up suffering for it all weekend. Im really not sure why its going so slow, except that this area isnt exactly known for cutting edge medical technology, and there is a pervasive attitude that if you dont work the mines (I dont) your somewhat more expendable then those who do. Got two doc appts this week.. today and tomorrow... So hopefully I can get some answers. Corey- Oh yes! I very much do need that! I know personally and first hand the incredible healing power of anointed oil... Unfortunately there are hardly ANY Catholic churches around here and the closest one is an hour away from here.... Something that always seemed REALLY weird to me since this whole area was settled by and is dominated by Irish and Natives... Shrugs.
