I should ping @cynicaloldfart so he can see why I am no longer in a shitty mood.

Nadeshda ago

I am so happy about this! @clamhurt_legbeard thanks so much for doing this!

Your timing was just perfect!

Happy remaining day to you all of you!

TheBuddha ago

I was pretty stoked! I was in a straight up shitty mood and this changed all that.

I'm not positive, but I think my shitty mood was 'cause I'm pretty damned sore today. Yesterday was brutal and rehearsal today was long and grueling. So, I'm in quite a bit of pain - to the point where pain pills just aren't cutting it. It's like a migraine in my hip and, to top it off, I have radiant pain in my knee.

I even ate extra opiates. (I'm allowed, I get some extra for PRN/bolus purposes.) They didn't really help. I don't feel like taking enough to where it would help. I'm kind of tired of being stupid and slow. So, I'm just tolerating the pain today. That might be why I'm grumpy. I'm not sure? It might also be that tomorrow is supposed to warm up and rain may take my damned snow away. That'll piss me off!

Nadeshda ago

:) you are still doing remarkably well Mister Grumpy pants! You had a long rehearsal and possibly an awkward sleep on the couch and the Universe has it’s own energies that love to play around too...

Well if it makes you feel any better your card cheering you up made me feel so much better too!

My day started out okay then went to a memorial service and somehow it triggered an emotional well inside of me. Life is pretty precious and short-lived.

Egh we are going to be okay... I have no idea how a migraine in the hip feels like, it just sounds plum awful! Wonder if you could numb it bit with clove oil? Are you allowed to apply heat packs? Lol... just throwing my unsolicited advice out there, for funsies and because I care...

You know me well enough now...

EDIT: it’s time for tea btw... ;)

TheBuddha ago

They have me using ice and lidocaine patches. They help exactly none. Ah well.

Nadeshda ago

:( well we need to get yer mind of it... okay it’s been a bloody long day for me... so thinking is proving problematic right now, give me some suggestions here? :)

TheBuddha ago

I tried to sleep. I failed. I gave it an hour.

Nadeshda ago

I am following the path of the letter D. It’s proving interesting... from dabbling to dingleberries so far, not sure where this will lead. Any interesting D like things coming to your mind?

Be nice :p it’s me, member... :)

TheBuddha ago

Discombobulation.

Nadeshda ago

Nice, you may already know this about me, I often get Discombobulated for no reason.

Hold on a minute... brb

TheBuddha ago

I think I will just get up and use a laptop. I might as well get some work done.

Nadeshda ago

I want to say ”I feel your pain” but I would be lying 🤥

I would share some of your pain if I could, but I can not.. 👎

So I wrote this poem as I am trying to steer us away from crying 😢

To feel better without being a cold heartless bot! 🤖

In exchange for a small smile to stay a little while 😊

While time moves on and soon we discover another song 🎶

In fill our hearts and maybe stay a while to remind us to smell the roses and smile! 😊

Cheer up friend for every knock down day, there is a better day out there just waiting...

Take my first sentence as a child to the bank Sir... hold on... :)

TheBuddha ago

Meh... It's just pain. Trust me, it has been MUCH worse.

I lost consciousness, or at least became unaware until they called my name, twice during the imaging process. In order to get clear images, they had to manipulate my leg. They weren't very gentle until immediately after the CT scan came up on their screen. They changed their way of handling me right after that! In fact, they let me skip like half the radiology images! They decided they were done manipulating me!

And, it's just pain. I'll survive. I'd like a damned nap, however!

goatboy ago

So if you die, can I have all your shit?

TheBuddha ago

Nope. Not even my kids get all my shit.

For example, much of the acreage that this house sits on will go into a community land-trust for preservation purposes. A lot of my assets are to be deeded to a variety of causes that I support. They will be self-perpetuating, so they should be solvent until the financial collapse of the west.

The kids get plenty, but certainly not all. The missus will be taken care of, as well as a couple of other people. One of my main concerns is that the locals were using my land long before I bought it - for generations. So, when I bought it, I left it un-posted and open for public use, except for a portion around the house and my range, 'cause I don't want people to get shot. I intend for the land to remain open to the public in perpetuity.

goatboy ago

Other than your kids and missus, fuck the rest of them. Appoint me your Trustee and I’ll keep all that shit going and grow your empire the likes of which, the World has never seen! We’ll even throw an annual @thebuddha Bash and get the whole town shitfaced. They will sing your praises for generations!

Anyway, good luck to you and I hope you get better soon. May you have many more years of trolling us dumbfucks who were rarely worthy of your greatness. When it is your time, troll the fuck out of whomever and whatever is beyond. Love you man. #nohomo

TheBuddha ago

LOL I already have established boards of people like lawyers who will oversee the trusts. My two kids also sit on the boards.

Both kids have a trust fund but are actually really good about earning their own money, so they let their monthly allotment accrue and us it for big purchases. By some miracle, I raised them right! (I was the sole custodial parent for most of those years.)

goatboy ago

Ohhhhh. @thebuddha bash was going to be goat themed and everything.

TheBuddha ago

I'll be alright, I'm pretty sure. I won't much mind, I'll be dead. I am also kind of partial to the causes that will be supported. That's why I did that, after all.

goatboy ago

Fine. I’ll still pour out in you honor.

TheBuddha ago

Show up the weekend of the 4th of July. I throw a giant bash and have a lawn full of people and a field full of tents and campers. I even have a buddy that is a pyrotechnic engineer, so we have a beautiful fireworks display every year. You need only bring yourself, but a tent and something to share is the minimum suggested. I've done this all but two years since I retired. I don't even advertise, people just spread the word and I get hundreds of people on my lawn for a weekend.

I even own a giant stage and we bring in portable toilets. Food is being prepared at all hours. I usually grab a pig and a half beef critter and spend about $2500 on booze and maybe another $500 on kegs from a local brewer. It's a family friendly affair. During the year, everyone that visits puts their change into a water cooler jug and we have a contest for the kids. The one who can carry it around the house the most times gets to keep the change. There are other games, music, and partying.

This year, I had a goat and his wife and their son visit for Friday and Saturday. Good times were had by all.

YoHomie ago

It'll turn into some kind of "Burning Man" freak show if you let Goatboy have a go at keeping your legacy going.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

open to the public

im public

so youre leaving a lot of it to me lol

awesome

TheBuddha ago

You can use it, so long as you obey the very simple rules. Take out what you brought in. Fires, ATVs, and the like are all allowed.

I'm actually legally prohibited from cutting part of it off. There's a natural body of water that's larger than 1 acre in size. I must allow public access, per Maine laws. I had a picnic table brought in and the trail is clearly marked. People fish and recreate there.

Trish_Pantscotti ago

Hey @goatboy, watch how it's done...

Dear Mr. @Thebuddha, can I just have one of your rifles (a really nice one) when you kick the cumbucket? Please? Thanks!!!!

TheBuddha ago

Hmm...

What's in it for me?

Trish_Pantscotti ago

Eternal life. Maybe.

TheBuddha ago

Fuck that. The last thing I want to do is live forever.

Trish_Pantscotti ago

How 'bout a fuckin tennis raquet?

TheBuddha ago

I have a broken femur. Tennis is out of the question. Croquet is out of the question. Walking to the couch is out of the question.

Trish_Pantscotti ago

Let's get back to you wanting to gift me a nice rifle. Got anything in walnut?

TheBuddha ago

I'm not gonna be a party to you shooting up a mall.

Trish_Pantscotti ago

That's not funny. Howd you break it?

TheBuddha ago

Wait...

How did you not know that and still find your way into this thread? LOL Did you not see the image that this thread links to?

Trish_Pantscotti ago

So you didn't spin-kick a jeep?

TheBuddha ago

Also no.

Trish_Pantscotti ago

A jeep spin-kicked you?

TheBuddha ago

Still no. The link answers all the important questions.

TheBuddha ago

It's a 20,000 word story, if not longer.

https://voat.co/v/SoapboxBanhammer/2872743

Pay the most attention to the con77 discussion. Read all those and click the links if you want more information.

Trish_Pantscotti ago

Just tell it again. You've obviously got nothing important to do - you're talking to me.

TheBuddha ago

No.

Trish_Pantscotti ago

I prefer not knowing. It's more fun.

TheBuddha ago

Ignorance is bliss, I suppose.

Trish_Pantscotti ago

In my case it is!

TheBuddha ago

That's too bad, really. It's a pretty awesome story.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

lol

ya i remember that about the lake

i like that

as for trash

i grew up next to open desert

and people always dumped trash in it

i pack my trash out

TheBuddha ago

As you should. My signs that I had printed and posted list just that and a number they can call to let me know when they go in and when they expect to return, as well as where they went in. Nobody uses the number, really. That phone line gets like three calls a year. LOL I still keep it paid for.

cynicaloldfart ago

Some of the ne'er-do-wells did pretty damn good. National Treasure, indeed!

TheBuddha ago

It was just what I needed to make me less grumpy.

TheBuddha ago

Ha! Thank you all!

The timing is impeccable. I have been remarking that I'm in a shitty mood, for no discernible reason. This has brightened my day.

Imma print it out and hang it on my fridge. Thanks to each and every one of you!

clamhurt_legbeard ago

ya i think it already got printed and scanned back in a couple times lol

went through a couple different image hosts too

TheBuddha ago

LOL I imagine it was a lot like herding cats!

I am greatly appreciative - even if it is still cancerAIDS, for sheer carefagging. ;-)

I do appreciate it. It's perfect timing. I was right straight pissed at the world and I'm not even sure why. Now, I am no longer pissed at the world, and y'all did that.

NoTrueScotsman ago

Yes, but it's medicinal cancerAIDS!

TheBuddha ago

It certainly helped me out of my funk, that's for sure! Muchos gracias!

HateCumbuckets ago

Looks good!

clamhurt_legbeard ago

i like how there are three different styles of signature

HateCumbuckets ago

I wanted mine to be personal, but my phone just wouldn't play nice.
