Very well put.
I'm currently going threw work issues, have been moved off shift for standing up for my rights over Christmas, but can't do shoit as there saying Its a "rotation plan", that seems to only affect me..
Seeing that sorta stuff just drives home the fact that we shouldn't let it control us..
I did for a minute today while on the job, I slipped fell and what turned out to be a graze and swelling could have been broken bones.

I think I need to seriously look at these guys..

Half an hour and $450 at the rheumatolist for him to confirm I have A. S. (ankylosing spondylitis). Now got to take Sulfasalazine (what ever the fork that is, some sulphur based drug) 4 times a day, for the foreseeable future as well as staying on anti inflammatories and pain killers, might just smoke weed instead. Weekly blood tests to make sure the drugs aren't forking with me liver and kidneys. Then go back and see him in 3 months time...... Happy days.

Anyway, can't grumble. Still alive and have my family, my GQ and a job.

That's tough condition to deal with mate. I do agree with you, in case you're serious about weed.
There's been enough studies done with enough trials to prove weed does work in certain inflammatory pain conditions.
Do some research on "Medical Marijuana".
Mine hasn't been anywhere near that bad to get into weed, but I have to tell you, strong pain killers stuffed up my stomach, gut and perhaps my colon as well(God know what else). I got Barrett's syndrome, most likely thanks to those heavy pain killers that I've been taking to kill the pain of the shoulders, neck, back and knees. I rarely take them these days, most of the time simply put up with the pain. It is not easy, but better than killing myself slowly with the heavy pain killers. Strong pain killers can kill you long before weed can kill you, depend on how many of them you have to take every day. They are bloody addictive as well, no different than alcohol or smoking. Once you started, pretty hard to stop taking them. If I had access, Medical Marijuana, I would've gone for that. Weed is lot less addictive than alcohol or smoking as I see, but I can be wrong about that. I think it's different from person to person.
weed does far less damage to the body and mind than those concoctions of heavy pain killers, in my opinion.
But, always better to do your own research, and get few different professional opinions.

Those two books look like a life saver.
Where do you usually get them from, mate?
Thanks

Today my mum passed away... she waited for me to arrive and passed soon after.

I had a cry but still feel some what detached ?

Waiting for my wife to get home..........

I'm really really sorry to hear that mate. Give yourself enough time to heal from the loss. We all have to go through it one day.
It took me few years to really accept my mom's passing as a reality of life. I did get there in the end.
Life is good. Remember that.
My sincere apologies for the late reply.
Take care

I went to a funeral for a young bloke today who committed suicide. He was only 18.
For f#cks sake if youre in that bad dark place there are so many people to speak to.
Was evident with the amount of people that were there today.
Theres hundreds of people grieving tonight for a young lad who thought no one cared

Edit: So So Sad

[Bloodyaussie]

Far to young to know what they are doing ..... so sad mate.

So sad indeed mate, may the gathering be a reminder to some of his other friends that we as a community do care and they can reach out to a friend or a stranger.

RIP
