Pretty much how my Dad is now. Fell, had a stroke and now just lying there motionless. On the depression thought of things.. I won't go into depression, it just sometimes feels like it. Our family has been preparing since March that this day would come. We all knew it. We believe it's just around the corner.

So yeah if you remember my Dad had fallen last March and had a stroke. Bleeding in the brain, etc. He's had parkinsons for the past 7-8 years now. He hasn't really moved much since March (well, hasn't walked). Body function is almost gone. You look at him and it's a blank stare. Right now he's in a nursing facility in Westerville for the past 5-6 months. His body weight dropped from 240 to 170 and all of that is muscle loss. The end is nearing my mom said in the past two weeks he's been sleeping a LOT and is very tired. She said that's one of the signs to tell when the end is nearing for people with parkinsons. Today hospice was asking my mom when he goes where will he be buried and which funeral home and stuff. Suck. 76 years old. Not sure how long he will last. My brother hasn't seen him in a few years and is coming in from NY tomorrow or Saturday. I'm afraid after my Dad seems him that will be the last thing he wants and will just go to sleep and not wake up. I can't say that we haven't seen this coming. We thought back in March he would be gone. But he's still going. On the flip side, my grandmother (moms mom) is 91 years old and her brain is perfect. Still is awesome and has a sense of humor but her body is shutting down. Just getting up there in age. This will be the double whammy if both of them go in the next few months. I'm not saying I'm going into depression as I've known this is a long time coming but you are never prepared for when it WILL happen. You don't need to say a prayer or anything. I don't pray and I don't expect you to. I haven't had to deal with a death in my immediate family (well my father in-law 4 years ago) since I was 14 and my brother died and I was too young then to realize what was going on. I just wanted to ramble on. Raise your glass and have one on me.

sold.

EURC request.. :lolguy: I'm with Retail. We have our own home grown systems here. We don't have a "button" on our desktops. :gabe:

I know. If I go to adobe.com and downoad the latest reader it's bundled with Firefox . That's how I had it on my last laptop.

Internet explorer? Chase does here. I try to go to firefox and it's blocked at the firewall.

http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk314/buck531/moonshine.jpg It wasn't bad. Yes. I mixed it with coke. Big deal. I wasn't in the mood to drink beer last night. Sorry Steve.. I don't have Tickle around the corner to round up some real moonshine for me.

Not sure if it's been posted or if anyone knows they are now selling Apple Pie "moonshine" at Giant Eagle. Granted it's diluted and only 80 proof but it might be good. $20.80 for a quart too. I opted for the Strawberry stuff. It's 100 proof and it's not that bad. There is about 5-6 strawberries in it too. I mixed a drink tonight with just coke and it pretty much tasted like Strawberry Coke.

^^^ lulz.

Should I get two tubes.. one for each tire or can I get away with just one tube? Would that mess anything up?

Na.. I was going to be a good guy and let Putty have dibs on it. He asked if I can wait until the New Year. So if he doesn't come through on Tuesday, it's a free for all.

Is it ok to run regular tubes in Hoosiers? I'm not about to pay $70 per tube for $250 slicks. One tire has a slight leak in it and a tube will be the only way around it. Can I just get some cheap tubes from the parts store and run them?

So I'm looking at weather.com now and Ohio is solid blue. I look outside. I see nothing.

She has a phone that'll work but the problem is the battery life sucks on it and playing music would kill the battery pretty quickly. Just looking for something else with a decent battery life that's not a phone.

Yeah I saw it on another forum and they said it was a few years old. I figured I'd post it up here for the lolz.

:gabe:

Audi. :lolguy:

This isn't craigslist. Let me know what you have.

Looking for a cheap Ipod for my wife to use when she's working. I dunno on the size. How many songs will hold on an 8 GB.. 16? Edit- changed title to Mp3 device. Doens't "need" to be an Ipod. Just something that plays music.

Someone said on FB you can turn them in at Giant Eagle and get whatever gift card you want and you get the fuel perks.

Fucking snow plows just put 4' of snow at the end of my driveway. ugh. Son left to go to his job at Polaris. That HAS to suck.

LOL at everyone in this thread thinking their the weather man and can predict snowfall in Ohio.:lolguy:

My wife is working/driving in this crap all day. ugh.
