  1. Scary how relatable this is! "$5.37! " That's what the kid behind the counter at Taco Bell said to me. I dug into my pocket and pulled out some lint and two dimes and something that used to be a Jolly Rancher. Having already handed the kid a five-spot, I started to head back out to the truck to grab some change when the kid with the Elmo hairdo said the hardest thing anyone has ever said to me. He said, "It's OK. I'll just give you the senior citizen discount." I turned to see who he was talking to and then heard the sound of change hitting the counter in front of me. "Only $4.68" he said cheerfully. I stood there stupefied. I am 56, not even 60 yet? A mere child! Senior citizen? I took my burrito and walked out to the truck wondering what was wrong with Elmo. Was he blind? As I sat in the truck, my blood began to boil. Old? Me? I'll show him, I thought. I opened the door and headed back inside. I strode to the counter, and there he was waiting with a smile. Before I could say a word, he held up something and jingled it in front of me, like I could be that easily distracted! What am I now? A toddler? "Dude! Can't get too far without your car keys, eh?" I stared with utter disdain at the keys. I began to rationalize in my mind! "Leaving keys behind hardly makes a man elderly! It could happen to anyone!" I turned and headed back to the truck. I slipped the key into the ignition, but it wouldn't turn. What now? I checked my keys and tried another. Still nothing. That's when I noticed the purple beads hanging from my rear view mirror. I had no purple beads hanging from my rear view mirror. Then, a few other objects came into focus: The car seat in the back seat. Happy Meal toys spread all over the floorboard. A partially eaten dough nut on the dashboard. Faster than you can say ginkgo biloba, I flew out of the alien vehicle. Moments later I was speeding out of the parking lot, relieved to finally be leaving this nightmarish stop in my life. That is when I felt it, deep in the bowels of my stomach: hunger! My stomach growled and churned, and I reached to grab my burrito, only it was nowhere to be found. I swung the truck around, gathered my courage, and strode back into the restaurant one final time. There Elmo stood, draped in youth and black nail polish. All I could think was, "What is the world coming to?" All I could say was, "Did I leave my food and drink in here"? At this point I was ready to ask a Boy Scout to help me back to my vehicle, and then go straight home and apply for Social Security benefits. Elmo had no clue. I walked back out to the truck, and suddenly a young lad came up and tugged on my jeans to get my attention. He was holding up a drink and a bag. His mother explained, "I think you left this in my truck by mistake." I took the food and drink from the little boy and sheepishly apologized. She offered these kind words: "It's OK. My grandfather does stuff like this all the time." All of this is to explain how I got a ticket doing 85 in a 40 mph zone. Yessss, I was racing some punk kid in a Toyota Prius. And no, I told the officer, I'm not too old to be driving this fast. As I walked in the front door, my wife met me halfway down the hall. I handed her a bag of cold food and a $300 speeding ticket. I promptly sat in my rocking chair and covered up my legs with a blankey. The good news was that I had successfully found my way home.

  2. Gynecologist Office Job Posting ! A retired man went into the Job Center in downtown Toronto and saw a card advertising for a Gynecologist's Assistant. Interested, he went in and asked the clerk for details. The clerk pulled up the file and read; "The job entails getting the ladies ready for the gynecologist. You have to help the women out of their underwear, lay them down and carefully wash their private regions, then apply shaving foam and gently shave off the hair, then rub in soothing oils so they're ready for the gynecologist's examination. The annual salary is $65,000, and if you are interested ..... you'll have to go to Sudbury , Ontario." "Good grief", the man asked, that's 270 miles away, "Is that where the job is?" "No sir . . . that's where the end of the line is right now.

    How to deal with Suicide

    After all the years I spent in the military I have come across a lot of suicides. Actually 6 members of my unit over the last couple years have. I have attend many military funerals which I never want to do again. Of the remaining members of my unit I try to be a positive influence on them and listen to them when they want to express every feeling they are going through. I meet with active and nonactive members now and try to help them through hard times. I think the best think is to be there for them and support them.

    How to deal with Suicide

    Im dealing with suicides, attempted suicides and self harm/mutilation on a daily base due to my work field. Sure there are 'basic' tips and points to observe but every person and along with that, their personal environment is different and need a specialised approach. You can hit me up any time for questions, advice or just a plain talk. Hope your friend finds out a way to deal with his demons, specially for the long run. Take care buddy!

  8. I don't think I would move it, your story may help someone. It's a statement that things can get better and maybe it will give hope to someone that has none right now. Thanksgiving and Christmas are very hard for some , We get older we miss the ones we had that have gone on. A lot of people are lonely this time of year. Your stuck in the house because of weather and alone with just your feelings. It can get to you. I would ask that if anyone knows of others like this just to reach out to them, a phone call, email or visit if you can, just something to let them know they are not alone and others care about them. It could mean a lot to a depressed and lonely person . Maybe even sometimes more than you would ever know.

  9. Why would you want to hide a topic like this? Someone who is contemplating suicide and does not want to say it could be reading this and it may help them. Someone may not want to talk about a family member or friend that is going or went through this and reading this thread may help them help their family or friend.

  11. It's been a hell of a last three years. First my Mom passes away on March 18th, 2015. Then my Dad passes away 5 days after my birthday last year. I've had to pick up my life from St. Louis and move to Peoria, Illinois. I'm hoping to be settled here in my own place soon, currently sharing an apartment with my brother. If all goes well in the next month or two, I'll have a new apartment and a whole new PC geared towards gaming, graphic design, photography and video editing. I'm looking to sink a couple grand into it. So with any luck, I'll be back to dying lots and listening to @Bogleg, @google and @Dukoo bitch about being killed all the time.

  16. YACCster I when thru that twice in my life. Died once.. bastards brought me back. I can tell you when the meds started kicking in I regretting it as well.. both times. That is the problem. I was on meds both times and MAN THAT SHIT MADE IT WORSE! Tell your friend get the fuck off fucking meds and find a new solution even pot. I have not been suicidal like that ever since. I blame the medication they give you to try and fix the problem. Everything got worse in my life when all I was trying to do was fix a bit of depression. It made me a different person in may ways. FUCK MAN MADE MEDS. Tell him to get on CBD oil... good shit not no head shop crap. Full Spectrum of the plant. How do you handle your friend.. no different than you did before. He is the same person as he was before... but he was suffering and probably medicated.

  19. Hi everyone ! So, we finally chose the weekend when we'll hold the tribute for US MALE who passed away last July. We'll all gather on the COD4 Ace Mod server on the weekend of Dec. 1st and 2nd ! We chose to make it a whole weekend to reach as many people as possible as we have players from all the possible time zones there (I think so ! ). Though, that would be nice if most of us could all gather there around 2pm Eastern on Saturday (Dec 1st), to be as many as possible to officially "start" the Tribute... and kill each others and laugh together like we always did... maybe use claymores to remember MALE @LandShark, do you think that you could reach USFEMALE to let her know ? @Ruggerxi, is it a possible thing to have a message going on directly on the server, through the console, to let the regulars who aren't registered here, know please ? Or do I have to ask BUDMAN or another Ace admin ? Thank you all in advance everyone, I'll shoot see you there !

  29. Howdy folks, Had a friend that tried to commit suicide on Thanksgiving by overdosing on prescription medication. He immediately regretted it and called 911. Saw them over the weekend and they are ok at this point. Question is, anyone deal with this before? And how to properly deal with it going forward. Anyone have any advice, it would be appreciated. -YACC

  36. How about this... I can't even imagine how I was feeling back then. I remember all the details but the emotions that would push me to the edge.... all I know it was the worst internal feeling ever. Like some is standing on your emotions suffocating your thoughts in one direction. As if there is no other solution. Tunnel vision thoughts grouped in a self loathing that you just want to go away. What a dark place deep depression is. We all deal with situational depression but deep depression consumes you from the inside out. Every choice you make gets is filtered though the metal prison. I'm glad all them feelings are stuck in that emotional memory block. I like my happy laughing side much better. I try very hard to avoid going there at all costs, even terminating friendships, relationships you name it in an effort to avoid unnecessary stress. I tend to go over bard in them efforts at times but do it as a a self defense action. Better to go away then have this get bad. What is funny, now I know I was not allowed to die. Have had so many close calls in my life that I know now I will die when God is ready for me to die. That bastard! lol joking God.

  39. It's never easy to deal with something like this. I agree with Rob here mate. I do. There are different kinds of people and your approach must always be different. The first step is being understanding. Sometimes the best thing you can ever do is listen. That helps so much. Then of course, you remind them to look at what IS in their life. What they HAVE got. They're still breathing, right? That's gotta count for something. They have you, family, people who do love them. There's always an underlying reason for someone to feel like they want to end it all and I found that removing yourself from root problem that is causing them to have gotten to this is a massive help. I will open up here. I was abused for almost all my life. It was horrible. I was verbally, mentally and emotionally abused in my own home. It only stopped a couple of years ago when I moved out. I had my confidence and my self-esteem and self worth completely and utterly ripped out of me. I was extremely depressed and dealing with severe anxiety disorder. I was scared to be in my own home. Or anywhere. I wanted to end it. It got to the point where I had written down my final goodbyes to people and planned everything. I was seriously debating doing it. I was on my chair ready to get up, go to the bridge near mine and jump. But I stopped myself, I couldn't do it. I had something to give me strength. My mom. I was also too scared! But what I had done was see a therapist. It was tough at first finding the right help but I soon found someone to help me. I was with them for two years and tell you what mate, my life has turned around. I moved out of my parents, I went to University and I fell in love. I found things to hold on to, things to keep me going. At my lowest I saw no hope, none at all. But after just having someone to listen to me, to hear me out, I felt so much better. We worked slowly but over time I had gotten a lot better. Found the root cause of my problems and cut that out. Never been better. Of course, I can get really low at some points and I am still on medication but I am so much better that I was a few years ago. To you friend, I don't mind you sharing what I have told you because being suicidal myself, I know what it is like. I have condensed my events down here so some parts are missing but the gist of it is there. I owe everything to my mom, my girlfriend, my therapist and the idiots on CoD2 and 4 who were there to make me laugh and support me and help me in my tough times. It's not the number of people you have around you but the quality of the people.

    How to deal with Suicide

    I have dealt with 3 suicides, 2 attemped and one actual, and my son is highly qualified in this and I have talked to him about it, although complex there are two definite main reasons in my limited experience. 1/. Attempted where they don't really mean it and are looking for compassion or help 2/. The worst - silent ones who simply do it, no talking and no warning in 1/. (your friends) he has had a tragedy, or is clinically depressed (they talk about a black hole of despair), obviously he needs professional help but you can help by understanding and being compassionate, keep an eye out as often they repeat. Do not leave him alone at first as it is a vicious spiral, I still do not understand how they get there but it is very very hard to recover, do your best but don't feel remorse yourself.

    Global warming ?????

    My neighbor at the time that happened was an iron worker. When he seen the towers fall he said, "that's impossible" "I helped build those towers" "the only way they can come down is by demolition" Who could of gotten access to every floor of those 2 towers to plant enough explosives to bring them down like that? I do not think it was terrorist in those 2 cargo planes.
