When Ethan Allen was dying, a doctor supposedly told him “General, I fear the angels are waiting for you.” Ethan shot back “Waiting are they? Waiting are they? Well–let 'em wait!”
To be fair Lib brings it on himself. Surreal purple prose from left field (way way way left field) just screams for scorn… wonder when the next “Good Bye cruel world” post will be?
Okay, I see your point. Obviously, I read her post out of context. Still, I’d like to make the point that while the death rattle is disturbing, my mother’s death overall was a beautiful and profound thing. I reached her only minutes before her last breath, and was able to whisper to her that I loved her. She squeezed my fingers in response.
I apologize to you, lobstermobster. I’ll try to be less … severe in the future.
Lib, stop. Just fucking stop. This stuff about your mom is innapropriate. You are sounding more loony than ever. You must be going through some rough times but we are not your shrink.
Granted. However, not all of the people inquiring as to the outcome were jackals or hyenas, or, in fact, any other carrion eater. I’m going to submit that if you’re asking for advice about dubious behavior, you sort of have some lumps a-comin’.
It still behooves him to post an update once it became clear that the people he came to for advice and assistance with the situation wanted one. It’s obviously not a requirement or anything, but it would be courteous. I’m saying this as someone who didn’t read the original thread until this thread came along, and has no opinion one way or another about Otto’s gambling, alcohol consumption and/or intrinsic honesty and moral fiber.
*For the record, I’ve decided to totally ignore the whole, surreal Liberal/**lobstermobster ** thing because I believe my world will be a happier place without it
“Anyone every tell you you’re bad luck Eddie?”
"Those were my mama’s dyin words. But I guess if your body’s covered in third degree burns, and your foot’s caught in a bear trap, you tend to start talkin’ crazy. "
