Suicide .... *shakes head*


I'll try to put my thoughts in a spoiler tag for this one since the subject matter is quite intense for many.

Spoiler

... Monday morning my mother and her employees had a boy about my age shoot himself in the head right in front of his parents, right outside the gates to their facility, she told me. She came home from work distraught, telling me about this tragic incident. She said the mother of the victim came running to the facility, crying for someone to come possibly help revive him and/or call the paramedics. One of Mom's subordinates who I kind of know, Mario, tried to perform CPR on the poor kid, but ... that kind of thing just isn't going to bring back someone from that kind of injury. Just a bad scene for everyone all around.

After telling me the story and having a good cry from it when she came home that afternoon, she urged me to go sleep for a while before trying to drive back all the way to Magnolia that night, and apparently talked to my sister during that time on the phone, about the incident. When I awoke a few hours later to come into the den and spend some time with Mom over dinner and such before leaving back for home, she said that she and my sister both had upset themselves in thinking how close I might have come to suicide when I suffered from my disease in 2012. All I could say was, while I would never disrespect suicide victims by saying like they are taking the easy way out (I personally think in any case that such a remark is just unnecessarily trampling on their graves, nor is there anything "easy" about pulling the trigger on yourself), I knew that surely I would never do such a thing to myself at any time in the future, if somehow throughout all of my suffering back then I never contemplated suicide for even a second. I guess just the fact that the victim my mother and her employees encountered was about my age inevitably caused them to think about me in the same light. ... But no, I will not do it. Not then, not ever.

Every life is just too precious in the Lord's eyes.

Thank God that you are around. And I pray for the mother (and her family) for losing her child, with comfort and love, and that she will overcome the sorrow of losing her loved one. If the child is a believer, he would be in the Lord's arm, our good shepherd who left the 99 in search of the one sheep.

I pray in Jesus' name.

I feel so much better today. Slept in until 2:00 PM and had a cup of coffee and a cup of tea. I am trying to moderate my sugar and caffeine intake and I think the worst of it is over.

Thank you all for your prayers. It means a lot to me.

Good to know that you are feeling better.

You may like to try green tea or jasmine tea/green tea, don't add any sugar. It tastes pretty nice, and enjoy the fragrance and aroma from the tea leaves and jasmine flower.

Take care.

Blessing!

I am honestly not sure what to think of this. Judging from all the backlash, this probably would have been more welcomed back in the 1990's.

It does look like the type of movie during 90s or early 2000s.

The game Sonic which was produced by Sega had its first release since 1991. Perhaps due to the early days of the introduction of the game, the style of the movie production may seem to commemorate the era of the Sega gaming industry. It isn't that bad actually.

Man, I hate having to find someone new to cut your hair. I had a girl who did it regularly until I moved. Since I moved, the place that I've been going to has been a revolving door. It was only a matter of time until I got someone who would do some serious damage, so it was like I was playing with fire. Well, this time around was the worst... there's like a big chunk of hair missing on one side of my head. Lol.

I can suffer through it until it grows back, but good grief.

Moral of this story: Cut your own hair.

Worked for me:

I remember playing the first two games on Sega Genesis. I also remember a few of the cartoons from the 1990's and early 2000's. Other than that, I wasn't much of a sonic fan. I will have to say that it does feel a bit late to create a Sonic movie like this, especially given they have Jim Carrey in it. I also think it would have been a better idea to make it animated well enough to give it a theatrical release. The live action one just looks... jarring to say the least.

Yea, I think it may be better if it is in animation and may be more appealing to the kids and teens. They could have a feel of the kind of games their parents were playing back then. It is like having an antique at home to pass down to the next generation. Watching this movie would be like re-winding our game history in bringing back old memories for some people.

It could be a good thing to cut your own hair. Perhaps regular trimming would be more effective.

I haven't really had any problems with haircuts lately.. mainly because I just get a short trim. My hair is hard to control.. many say having thick hair is a blessing, but if my hair is too short the hair strands will stick up everywhere.. and if it's too long I look very blocky.. pretty much settled getting small trims every two weeks.

In spite of all the times I lashed out at God, He has still shown me so much grace this past year.

Kind of one of those things that make Him so good, right?

A shame that so many non-believers and other believers alike do not seem to recognize this. All the latter sees is hell and damnation scare tactics, and the former sees only the law and history books of the Old Testament. =/

Rembered a girl who died of cancer at my church over 10 years ago who was just 16/17. Pretty sad, I have not really grown up around death.. and I remember being really disturbed about it because she was close to my age at the time. All these years later and its still gut wrenching to think about.

Guys, come on .... Has this thread hit that weird moment in time where even in a crowded room with multiple conversations going on there is just somehow a break in all of them at the same time and all anyone can hear is awkward silence?

No, my dear ... don't you know speech is silver and silence is gold?
