If you think your insults are going to keep me from coming at Christmastime, you're very well mistaken, young fella...

I'm not now only coming for a week...I'm coming for three whole months, lie on the couch and eat you out of house and home...
And you know the Source I learned That from....

also :twisted:

I forgot to add this to the previous post...after three months of my visit, I will have taken every opportunity to have p*ssed you off....and then I will go happily home... :twisted:

The funny thing is that you actually believe I wouldn't just throw the couch out with you still laying on it with your one eye open

Do be perfectly honest, I'm still very much amazed that we never threw the old c00t out of the house or demanded he leave. To this day I still really don't understand why. :?

Your Dad did get very fed up with him on one particular visit, put his suitcase by the door, told him to get into the truck even though the old man said he was too sick to go (his usual excuse after staying for three months and p*ssing everybody off).

I'm very suprised you don't remember that...I still remember the whole thing to this day and my memory sucks big time...

As for the throwing me out with the couch, I think you would probably tip the couch over, make me get my suitcase and take me to the bus; why ruin a perfectly good couch with all the rain you get at the Coast??

I do remember that one particular incident, it's all the other times I guess I wonder about. The guy was truly a menace and created so much trouble. I'm really suprised that some of our relatives saw him as a good person, he really was and will always be one of the biggest lowlifes I've ever met and had the distinct disfortune to be related to.

I only attended his funeral out of respect for dads feelings, nothing more.

It's all about that Old-Country respect I talked about in an earlier post!! Your great grandfather was very respected and looked up to, so your Grandfather thought he should be treated the same, no matter what crap he dished out. You also need to remember that women and kids were not respected in those days, not like in this day at all!
Your Grandfather was never there for your Father and left alone so much of the time as a kid to fend for himself. When his Father did come back into his life, your father tried to have a relationship with him again, but unfortunately, you boys paid the price and so did I by putting up with the Grandfather's crap.

Well I guess he's sleeping with one eye open on Satans couch now.

I think it's great that we have dialogue about it now...

Isn't it grand that you started Lifesupporters to help people; and what it's also doing is helping you and me as well...

Because once in a while you dig up 20 old threads. Hence.

Part of healing is also accepting how things were. That is also why people still can love loves lost, or loves which never had been.

To answer the post, my greatest health fear is to become a vegetable from stroke or something equally devastating and to have my family have to care for me for the rest of my life. That is why my living will states that I do not want heroic measures and I do not want to be on lifesupport. Just unplug me and let me go.

My biggest biggest phobia is of needles. and some other sharp pointed objects like bee stings. i haven't had any vaccinations since i was 7. i rarely got to the doctors refuse to go near a hospital or dentist and make my parents take my pets to the vet. ive ended up in a police cell for 24 hours when they thought i was on drugs because i fractured my foot and they tried to get me in hospital and i freaked out had a huge panic attack stopped breathing and collapsed.

this is such a risk, health wise, it worries me but not nearly so much as being near a building full of needles!

TKDLady · 07-04-2007, 08:02 AM

You should get your fear resolved. One day those needles could save your life. And going to the doctor for a checkup doesn't necessarily include needles. You need regular checkups so you don't end up with something that will require needles for the rest of your life. It is called preventative maintenance, in a health sense.
