What kind of a fucking idiot do you have to be to do something like that?

A butt-hurt insecure little manchild that is too much of a bitch-made punk to confront the person so they false swat.

Having a cold.
I'm also working on Monday so no alcohol for me on New Years Eve either way.

I was planning to consume some alcohol with a friend tomorrow(the day before NYE) but because of the aforementioned cold I might not even get to do that : (

It's OK. I'm a borderline alcoholic and I haven't had a beer since the wreck (October 3rd.) Partly because of my concussion (I want to clear it health wise with a neurologist first), but I also think it's an incredibly dangerous idea to mix alcohol with the volatile emotional state I am in. It's just a bad bad bad idea right now.

Shame to hear Razer quality has dropped. Mine is several years old and I'd planned to replace it with another. That Logitech Manner posted isn't my taste. Too many buttons. I just want a five or six-button mouse, and ideally one that doesn't look like a Michael Bay transformer.

This only has 6 buttons? After the left and right button, it just has the two thumb buttons. And the two sensitivity buttons adjustment buttons. I guess 7 if you count clicking the middle wheel.

But I understand on the taste. Visuals are very subjective per person.

Don't most states have emissions testing laws now? If it was a real problem, I think it'd get caught by that.

I think with an antique plate you can get away with it.

Also, in my state, we have no laws. I have race-car full long headers to a catless Y-pipe with absolutely no emission correction of any kind. No EGR, no AIR pump, no catalytic converters, nothing. It is totally illegal for any state emission wise, but it isn't illegal to own or install. I'm going to get a catalytic converter welded in at the very least, eventually, because I don't plan on staying in this state. I can pass a scan test, but a visual or sniffer test is very grey area for me.

First of all, they weren't fuel injection, so they didn't have the precise computer controlled measurements of fuel to burn in relation to air (which on a modern car is accomplished through many variables, generally Air Intake Temperature, Mass Air Flow, Manifold Absolute Pressure, Throttle Position, and then the accuracy of this data's result is adjusted and double checked by your Oxygen Sensors), you were just kind of guesstimating air/fuel by vacuum pressure back then. (Lawnmowers and chainsaws operate the same way as really old carburetor cars, because it would be extremely cost inefficient to fuel inject a $50 leaf blower.)

Second of all, there was no such thing as catalytic converters (and at the very least was not a legal requirement), which converts a lot of dangerous parts of exhaust such as Carbon Monoxide into Carbon Dioxide and things like that to be less harmful to your body and the Earth. It also helps absorb unburned fuel that accidentally escapes during the exhaust cycle.

And not to mention, likely used different leaded fuels like the two above me pointed out.

It's a digital thing that can be exchanged for goods and services. Like WoW gold except much harder to obtain.

The point of it is that it is hard to trace to the only goods and services people bother using it for is drugs, guns, assassination, etc. You might as well use regular money if you're doing something legal. I'm guessing your friends aren't scum so are only in it for the money

It's already only used for black market currency. You can't pay your taxes with it so in the end of the day you're going to need to convert it to normal money eventually. There are some businesses that accept it but you're better off with normal money right now. So if they ban any legitimate exchanges of it for goods and services it doesn't matter much since it isn't primarily used for that currently

OK, but say a drug lord gets the bitcoin for his drugs. Does he then sell the bitcoin for real money? And if you can't do that, it becomes useless, even in the black market? Because if you can't buy a mansion or Lamborghini or a yacht with a bitcoin, isn't that the entire reason behind being a drug lord? To make money?

Logitech 502. It is literally the best mouse I've ever owned in my entire life. Complete DPI control on the fly (you can set 4 levels per profile, and customize what each of the 4 levels is between like 1 and 10,000 DPI), not to mention the lighting in synch with my Logitech G510s. For example, when playing Portal or Portal 2, I have the keyboard orange and the mouse blue. I tried SO HARD to set it up where the last trigger pull changed the colors of both from blue to orange or vice versa in synch with your portals fired... but there was no way in Logitech's software to pull that off. I mean I tried for a day. lol

Razer is pretty much the lowest quality in gaming mice in the market, they are just popular because of name brand word of mouth. I've owned 3, 2 DeathAdders and one I don't remember the name of (it was basically a DeathAdder that was wireless, but I just kept it plugged in all the time.)

ALL THREE died within a 9 month period. The left click M1 switch (and M2 switch) are made of really cheap plastic, and it wears out super fast when gaming. (And, these are supposed to be gaming mice?) Literally 3 for 3 didn't make it past 9 months. To Razer's credit as a company, they offered to replace the last one for free even though it was way past the 90 day warranty or whatever so good on them, but I told them nevermind I'm just going with a different brand and thank you for the offer. Went Logitech, with real M1/M2 switches, and it's been a trooper for 2 years now and going strong.

I don't think a pet can replace a woman.

Nothing and no one can ever replace her. But when I'm financially stable I might get the dog me and her always wanted. I think his point is to have some company with another loving creature. They say having a pet can be therapeutic I suppose. I'm not ready for all that responsibility right now, though.

In any case TC, I don't think there's anyone here that can really understand what you're going through. It's one thing to lose a family member, a parent, grandparent, etc. but it's entirely different to lose the one you chose to spend your life with. It might be worth looking into some group counseling for grieving individuals. I'm not an expert on these kinds of things by any means, but I think maybe working with other people who have had the same experience as you could help. One way or another, you should find a professional who can help.

Keep yourself going man. One of my good friends recently lost his wife and I see him posting about it every day on facebook. You're in a hard place, but don't go anywhere. The world still needs you.

This was a really good post, thank you. I am seeing a councilor for intense grief therapy, but I may consider also doing group therapy like you said... especially if I can find one with people that have been widowed young. I also spend basically 24/7 around friends that I trust with my life, because I don't like to be alone with the incredibly loud silence that her physical absence creates. And I don't like to be alone with my thoughts for very long.

And yeah... are you sure I'm not your friend on Facebook? lol. I literally have written 4 novels since the wreck. Some of my posts are like 19 paragraphs long. When my heart starts typing, I don't stop it or filter it. It writes whatever it wants and I just go along for the ride and hit enter. It's a very surreal feeling, being so disconnected from my body and the world around me. I thought I would feel more connected after the shock wore off, but I don't. I constantly feel like I'm in another dimension about to die of a broken heart, like I'm on my death bed. Like the world around me is fake and only my wife was real. That I had been deceived by this world, and now the eyes of my soul are wide open and I can never go back to who I was.

Thank everyone for reading, sharing, donating, whatever. It is extremely close to the goal, and I can finally pay some of these bills off and worry a little bit less about this crap. I'm about $18k in debt (if you include my cars), but I would never ask for such an absurd amount... I didn't want anyone to "pay off all my debt" like I get a free pass because I lost my love. But the amount I asked for ($3k) is how much I calculated I needed to snowball away a few bills when combined with my income to actually begin paying off this debt myself without going into the negatives and lapsing payments.

guns make people feel a different way...that's just how it is. whenever they think someone is threatening them or even give them the evil eye, they'll use the self defense argument ever since george zimmerman got off. let's be honest, people would rather use their arsenal for OFFENSE and NOT defense..they go for the attack first rather than wait for it but the law stops them.

and yes i do believe most people who clashed with me were in the wrong..they know it, i know it, and that's why they never got beef with me again

The way I and all other gun owners that I know have been taught, "You never shoot to take a life, only to save one."

There is a strange tunnel vision effect in my life, where I'm completely shocked when co-workers or even complete strangers don't know what I'm going through. Logically, I know that people aren't psychic. I know that the world keeps turning with or without me. It's just that mine has stopped... so my subjective viewpoint is warped, and I just keep assuming everybody knows that I'm suffering because this pain is with every breath for the last 3 months since the wreck. Forgive me, I'm not firing on all cylinders up there...

being conservative and a staunch gun supporter are double negatives to me and that's why i'm always biased against those people in the articles.

Dude, religious feeling to gun ownership ain't helping.

Fair point. But I'm coming from the idea that the right to protect the life of the people you love is a God given right, and in modern times that is generally best accomplished with a firearm. I don't have dedication to the mechanical object with oil and springs, but to the ability to keep my loved ones safe. If that makes sense.

I'm just such a piece of shit, dude. I'm rude and I lie and I'm jealous and I'm a hypocrite and I'm awkward sAnd I'm fat and I'm stupid and and I probably won't amount to anything in my life because im lazy and a quitter and a push over. I'm about as close as you can get to bottom of the chain except for murderers and rapists.

I'm so done with myself.

I really doubt you're stupid or that you won't amount to anything. Everything else is something you can wake up tomorrow and try to fix or change, even one moment at a time. If you don't like your body image, you can start working out. It doesn't happen over night. But just feeling the endorphins and such and knowing your doing something positive is a good step in the right direction. And you'll be super happy when you start seeing results you want in the mirror.

As for rude and lying and jealous... I mean people can definitely be rude. I've tried my hardest over the last 10 years to make myself a better person, and made some pretty huge steps on bettering myself (largely thanks to my late wife), but I still have my moments. I'm not getting in bar fights anymore, but I still get nasty road rage sometimes. Lying seems like a bad habit that you might have developed as a coping mechanism to avoid uncomfortable situations (including the pain of telling the truth sometimes.) Try to tell the truth where you would normally lie sometime, even just once, and see how much better you feel after the fact. (Delayed gratification in a way.)

I hope things get better, brother.

It's the first time in my entire life that I felt alive. We brought out the best in each other, and it made life beautiful and worth living.

I'll be honest. I don't really know what I want, or why I'm sharing some things so openly on here. I have no objective or focus anymore in this world. I really have no idea what possessed me to make a new account and come here in the first place a few weeks after the wreck, even though I had been gone for over half a decade. I think maybe because of the immense kindness Jen, RC, helly, shadow, and many many others have shown. When my fingers start typing for my heart, I don't stop them. I just let them go unfiltered. Ask Foxx... I've written nearly 5 novels since the wreck in posts to my family/friends, and that barely touches the surface.

Yes, it... contains her ashes. I got it from my mother in law. I hit the ground the second I was handed the package. I think I stayed outside on my knees crying and holding that package for several hours before I took the picture. It's an extreme duality of comfort and extreme pain and horror holding that charm in my hand with her remains.

Also... I don't know alts here, but helly has always been my buddy, even back in the day.

I don't know if you remember me, but you and me used to butt heads a whole lot when I was younger. I would antagonize you about your love of bugs and stuff, and I was just generally a jerk. I want to offer you an apology for how I behaved many years ago. (Over a decade ago, actually.)

But in addition to that, I was hoping to get in your head a little. What do you have against white people, or firearms? Or possibly republicans? I don't lean right, but I don't lean left either. I'm white, and I grew up with bikers. I'm a Christian, but not what likely comes to your mind the second you hear "Christian." I support gay marriage (in fact, I don't even think homosexuality is a sin. That's not what I got out of the original text of The Bible etc. and I don't think God would make someone's love be a sin) and lots of things that kind of make me an outcast of traditional legalists and things like that. ANYWAYS, I'm also a devout owner of firearms, and I am extremely serious about safety involving them. Not everyone that owns firearms is a "gun nut." Some people just want to keep their loved ones (and strangers) from harm. When you hear I'm this white Christian Harley-lover with firearms, do you instantly have a negative image of me? Because I don't think that's fair, and I hope it isn't true.

By the way, you probably knew me as KarmaBoy or OutlawStar. Or more recently, ManSaurus, but that wasn't really when I knew you.

I think I should have been more clear, though. MoreRpgs, I don't mean to imply you should just kiss random girls' hands at the super market the same way you would help them pick up groceries they dropped all over the floor. I was just including it in an assorted list of a general sense of showing a lady that she is a precious part of the world. I've only kissed one girl's hand that wasn't someone I was dating, and that was a good friend who was dealing with extremely difficult grief. She gave me a kiss on the cheek as a "thank you" right after, but not just because of my gesture. It was a difficult week... maybe month for her, and I was just doing my best to help her through it. (Which, I know you can only do so much... as I'm living and breathing hell around me as I type this.)

It took me like 8 years to finish my custom Doom II campaign .wad because for months at a time I would get "writers block" and just stop. Even on duo-lingo that I use to supplement my German (late wife's family is German) I always sign up for the "double points" if you dedicate a week straight, and I don't make it 2 days in a row...

Because I was raised a gentleman. To kiss a woman's hand, hold the door open for her, and to protect her with your life. That's not to say women are weak and can't open their own door... it just shows a level of respect. Putting someone before yourself is literally the point of life. As far as I'm concerned anyway...

Although I wouldn't use the word "worship." I don't worship anyone but the Lord.

Only creepy people kiss somebody they don't know.

Well, yes. You definitely have to know the person, depending on the culture...

What's wrong with being white and owning guns?

Why don't you do that for guys though that is sexist.

I do hold the doors open for men, and I would also risk my life to save an innocent man. (Not so much on the hand kissing part.) It's just more of a subconscious behavioral automation with females than males, because I feel the males should be helping me protect the females as that is our purpose in life. But that said, I would still do most of the same for a male.

Thank everyone so much just for caring this damn much, much less contributing, sharing, just being kind in general. I'm going to post a huge thank you video when this is all over.

Hang in there man. People will donate to your cause because no one should have to worry about money in a situation like this and should focus on their healing. You're already close to your goal too so maybe you'll get extra to help you for longer. Good luck!

Thank you, Miss Jen. It really does mean the world to me.

I remember reading that topic when it was first posted, it was truly heartbreaking. If someone PMs me the link, then I would gladly donate. Best of luck and best wishes to you and your family.

Same as above. Your words and thoughts are invaluable, and anything you can do, even if it's 50 cents, means everything to me.

I really wish that I could help out at all, but I'm barely managing to survive paying for college right now and I probably won't be able to pay for the next semester :/

shadowsword87, I think you're literally the only person on this board that actually met my wife, in a manner of speaking. (The three of us played around on StarCraft II from time to time.) Don't feel bad at all. I didn't even want to make the GFM in the first place... I completely understand.
