Yeah he was the one who was in so much pain he just laid on his porch instead of trying to go inside once right? I mean I can’t blame him if his pain is to that level. Sucks though, he was a good poster.

Years ago I read an article on some Israeli candy that is super popular there and it is peanut based. Over here that shit would wipe out half the population. Peculiarly, Israeli children have little to no peanut allergies.

Probably Halva. It's good stuff, but I certainly wouldn't choose it over a quality French eclair or a lot of other deserts. I used to trade it during lunch hour for cheez whiz and crackers.

Lower back discectomy 2017. All this hobby farm shit finally wrecked me and my degenerative disc disease.

1.5 weeks ago sciatic leg and ass cheek pain. Sorta relented but I had to keep. doing some things and now I don't have that pain by its hard to get fully upright, and if I go from a couch or something to upright too quick or not using the right muscles I get 10/10 pain almost fall down and have constant low level ache.

Staying in bed not too bad or if I stay walking. But chairs of any kind/ couch and my work gunbelt all cause a increasing ache.


if I can self refer with my new insurance, neurologist or orthopedic to start to investigate a fusion?

Don't ever use an orthopedic surgeon for any backwork. Always a neurosurgeon.

Re: Borzak. Can an admin possibly email him under his registered email addy and see if he's ok?

If he's gone, he'll be missed.

It's all so fucking sad and surreal at the same time. One day you're at the top of the world, camping Lower Guk, shitposting on Foh and screaming "America, Fuck yeah!". Then seemingly in a flash, you're struggling to find "male" as a gender choice, sitting three feet from the TV so you can read the font size and planning raids around your colonoscopy, afraid to shitpost on FOH because you might end up in a Biden internment camp, and going "america, fuck noooo".

There should be a sticky thread for the "Halls of the Fallen" containing a list of Avatars of all those who have passed on.

Ya, for people who aren't donors all I have is the email used to register with the site. Which could be a throwaway, and likely is given current year climate. For donors I generally have a name to go with an account, but even that can and has been faked for anonymity purposes. No hate, just saying it's tough for me to contact someone unless they've made it easy for me ahead of time.

Honestly I'm kind of OK with that. If FoH is enough a part of your life that we're doing the job of wellness checks on people rather than their family/loved ones then that person has some serious problems. Hopefully that doesn't sound callous, as I'd contact whoever I could if the situation warrants, but I should be like number 20 or 30 on the list of people contacting authorities about a given poster here.

I would hope people have family, and I'm sure they know. Just as a community and as a group of what could be almost be called friends or at least people that have positive regard for each other, it's nice to know for closure kinda like what happened with Gravy.

I still really wonder about lithose. People mag generally dislike for example Araysar or Chris but id au least still be curious if they suddenly went silent.

So I guess selfishly, it's about the rest of the group knowing, not about anything to help the individual unless they wanted to ask in a grown up thread to start

Dunno, but I miss that guy and Lithose most. Probably in a DC gulag with their only allowed contact with the outside world being read-only access to Resetera.com
I forget when lithose went. many think he ran for office, would be interesting if it just took some months for him to be snagged for J6 or something.

At least Palum returned as another Somewhat notable absence.

I'm sure depending on one's origin, a lot of us had family until we became "Agents of Putin" and/or "anti vax". If you don't hear from me for a few months straight, one can assume either a) I'm in the mental ward because the remaining family members and friends I do speak with pulled a "You're so smart FW, how do you keep falling for these lies" every time a Clownworld Court inverts reality and I finally snapped or b) my hairless cat is feasting on my rotting corpse because I stroked out while forcing myself to watch MSNBC one too many times.

I have a friend who has been disowned by his entire family over the vax shit and his refusal to take it. Like totally, fucking, othered. The last time he saw his father was two years ago, and only under the condition that he stand at least 50 feet away wearing a mask. Shit you not.

Wish this was in production already, my 4 year old daughter has rheumetoid arthritis in her right knee. It would be great to be able to monitor CRP levels near real time, or at least daily.
