Damn it. I forgot all about that. Including that one, I've got two to get done this coming week.

You don't have to brother. But I was legitimately excited to see if you would enjoy it. Like I would a close friend.

I love this community and everyone in it. Fucking blows to see anyone in my family in pain.

The Chiefs are going to the playoffs and going to win the SB, dude!

It's destined, you have to fight to see them lift the trophy. Heck, we will even put a fund together and send you there on the big day to watch them.
I am actually down with this.


It's hard to pick a favorite, but I haven't been secure in my manliness to look at the Kuriin threads yet. So probably the selfie ho's.
I bet an orgasm is amazing when you're sucking down 99.5% O2 while jerking it to a Kurin gif.

and I donated, I wonder how confused they are about receiving donations for Gravy.

True. Maybe tomorrow, I'll try anything once.

Serious question: What does a dying guy get/buy for his wife for Christmas? I'm accepting answers from the Brain Trust at RR.

It sounds sappy, and maybe it would be hard for closure, but what about a voice recording? Something she can play at a low moment to remind her how much you love her. My wife is my best friend, and if I never got to hear her voice again I'd be crushed. I don't have the faintest idea what to say, but it's just the first thing that popped into my head.

A prepaid card for a holiday ham?

Buy a bunch of postcards of vases and fill them out, have a friend of the family mail them to her every year as an Annual Urnings Statement?

You should see if you can work out a deal where you buy her flowers (or whatever she likes, food?) and have them delivered once a month for the first year.

^^^I will add one thing write 12 little one line notes to her, maybe inside jokes to keep it lite. Give the notes to a trusted friend and the cash to cover 12 months of flowers.



And while that is a great idea, it does not answer the question you asked about Christmas. So how about a life size picture of you for over the mantle? Something classy, something Costanza would do like...

Yes, I know my shoop abilities are weak, but you get the idea.

Don't know if you have a dog, but if you don't what about getting her a dog? Basically a present from you that will be with her every day for the next 15 years.

I don't know man. Without knowing the two of you it's hard to say. If it was me and my ex I'd write a bunch of letters to leave with a family member to send every so often or as needed if she was fucking up. Starting off along the lines of "I know it's hard but it'll be okay. Don't worry about the time we didn't have, just be happy about the time we did. You made me happier than I had any right to be and I wouldn't trade a second of it for anything. Thank you for that." before moving more into stuff like "Have you had a chance to go see your niece lately? I know she and her mom would love to see you." and "Have you watched (movie/show) yet? You fucking better not be moping around instead of trying to enjoy yourself, because if I'm wrong and I see you again in whatever comes after I'm going to be fucking pissed if you can't tell me all about it.". But that was us. We know each other better than anyone else in the world. I'd have done that because maybe it's not something she needed but it's something that would help her get through it. Make her smile. Keep her from shutting the handful of people in her life who even give a shit out. If I was on my way out right this minute I'd be writing those letters instead of this post, ex or not. It's a god damn clusterfuck but we're still close. Met her at the hospital to visit her mom after surgery last night actually. The important thing to me would have been knowing how long to keep it up and how to tell her "This is going to be the last letter because I want you to know I hope you move past this.".

I guess it boils down to... what you think she'll need to be okay. My girl would have needed me to help her through it and eventually tell her it's not only okay to let me go but that I'd want her to. Do you think your wife will if not need, want something like that? If so I doubt anyone but you can figure out what it is. If all she'd want is a Christmas gift instead of some sappy bullshit like I've talked about I'd suggest something that won't really relate to you beyond it having been a gift you gave her. My ex gave me a headset because I needed a headset and had me pick out the one "I" liked. I'm wearing it now. She'd also given me clothes that "she" liked and picked out for me. I've either returned them to her or thrown them out because they just made me bitter and sad when I saw them and I damn sure wasn't wearing them. I don't know if that makes sense to you but it's the best I can explain it.

I've never lost somebody I was that close with. The nearest I've got is my friend who was murdered. I wish like hell I could have had one more day, talked to him one more time. Told him what a great man I thought he was and how the things he taught me just by being who he was and living his life the way he did changed how I saw certain things. Even changed some of the things in life I valued and how I'm a better, kinder, and happier person for having known him. Thanked him for being there when I needed him because I don't know where I'd be if I hadn't met him when I did. Just don't let her feel like she's left anything unsaid.

I don't know if any of rambling bullshit will help you Gravy but I hope so. I wish you and yours the best Merry Christmas man.

Can't sleep. It's getting harder and harder to sleep at night. I don't seem to have any problems sleeping during the day. Maybe I'm afraid to let this day go, or afraid the next one will be the last. No idea.

I've actually had a pretty good week, although I did gain 9 lbs. in two days from the congestive heart failure fluid around my heart, I managed to drop 8 in the following two. Big jumps in weight/fluid are pretty dangerous for me these days, so I've got to try and maintain the best I can.

My anxiety has been a problem, but I guess that's understandable. Any weird bump in my chest, or stray pain puts me on edge.

Taloo, my wife has a very close relationship with her three sisters who she'll be able to lean on. I'm sure she'll have her bad days, but she's not the type of person who would fall into a deep depression. At least I don't think so, and if she did, she'll have the support here to help her through.

Corndog, we've got a dog and he's pretty funny. I had a really crap day about two weeks ago, and I mean really bad. The neighbor had come over to help, along with a brother and sister in law and a hospice nurse. "Nub" stayed right next to me and wouldn't let anyone touch me unless I was petting him, which was fairly difficult considering I was going in and out of consciousness.

Everyone thanks for the ideas, even the silly ones... they were supposed to be silly, yes? My wife and I are big fans of the silly, so it works out.

And you said turning a straight man gay wasn't a fantasy!

ps if you are still undecided about your wife get her a clone of your dick, kits are like $20 on Amazon.

I would say make/buy a little trinket/locket etc. Something she can always keep on her to remind her of you. As someone else stated we don't know either of you very well but make it something related to a joke only you two share, something that will make her smile or giggle.

Worse comes to worse, the RR Brain Trust can infiltrate the NFL and steal a ton of Kansas City Cheif's memorabilia, hell we could even get a a load of jock straps and have Kurin sign them.
