I hate doing post mortem reviews after installs or incidents. Everyone always loves you right after the work is done, and then 2 days later they want to blame you for everything.

Aaah Phoenix... let me know what you think in July at 120+ degrees. They call it a DRY HEAT (as is a convection oven).

I was in Phoenix in July of 2012. It was awful being outside. Saw a person walk through a fountain and get dry a few minutes later.

My groove is messed with because I'm not getting the work done that I need to do in order to advance my career. Instead, I'm sleeping that time away. Ugh. Gotta get up n move.

Me too. I think this has happened before, mind, so hopefully the treatment providers know how best to help her.

Brain damage can be hard to come back from. I think its a question of rapidity of treatment?

Coupled with sheer, bastard willpower.

Another friend fell on Boxing Day last year, backwards, 30 feet onto asphalt back home. He's recovering well and as I understand it relearning how to walk and talk, but damn, we all thought he'd die. And he didn't. So as long as there's that sliver of hope, you gotta cling to it like clear film to a new tattoo.

Heat of any kind, whether dry or humid is horrible. Unless you have the superlative luxury of retreating into an AC. Another 40C day here today, I can literally feel my eyeballs drying up. The soles of my feet burn through my shoes, the road is so hot. All the furniture remain warm to the touch well into the night

My grandfather came back from near paralysis from Guillain–Barré syndrome through sheer willpower and physiotherapy at the age of 75. Hope and willpower can get the body to do amazing unbelievable things

[Maark Abbott]

Exactly. I'm not allowing myself false hope - the reality is, no brain activity is a very bad sign - just hoping she pulls through.

If she does I'll have to run off a proof copy of my book and get it down to her. She really wanted to read that.

Aaaand one of my friends tried to kill herself last night and is in ICU with severe brain damage.

Talk about a shit sandwich of a morning. Funeral for my work colleague who died two weeks ago tomorrow and all.

How awful. Sorry to hear that Maark, sending good wishes for her.

[Maark Abbott]

You never expect to come out of one friend's funeral to find you've lost another.

Mostly... I'm angry. There's NOTHING for people with BPD here. NOTHING. And if there had been, maybe things would have been different.

[Maark Abbott]

The double rum shot is NOT HELPING

[Andorion]

Just felt an earthquake here. Again

[Raymond Luxury Yacht]

I think I have sleep apnea and need a CPAP machine. I don't want to schedule the tests because they are a pain in the ass, and then I will KNOW I need the machine.

Hayfever's so bad this time none of the usual things are helping, whether prescribed or homemade.. And this stuff has only just started.

Have you tried Hazmat suits yet?


I have a final in 5 hours and I feel like I haven't studied at all. (read: I haven't studied at all)

Condolences, Maark.

Did I read that right Maark? Your friend has passed?

I am sorry. My condolences

[Slow Ben]

Damn Maark. Sorry buddy.

[Maark Abbott]

Mmmm. You sort of expect this from time to time when a number of your friends have MHDs. And it just makes me angry more than anything else, that so little is done in this country to help those who have them.

Far as I know it was a massive overdose, possibly a polydrug (but that part is just conjecture on my part). I suppose that's a small mercy, because it's relatively peaceful.

On my part, this will spur me much harder to get Incarnate out there because she was so excited to get a chance to read it. To fail now would be to piss on someone's memory and I refuse to do that.

Condolences Maark.
Lack of resources for mental health issues is a problem in every single part of the world I've studied, couple that with the fact that most people don't even get to the correct practitioner for their problems and you get clusterfucks like this.
