Coffee never tasted so good. Reminds me of this...

Arthur 'Big Guy' Carlson: [seeing baggie of cocaine in studio] What's that?
Doug Winner: [Johnny turns to Doug, seeing if he'll tell the truth] YOU tell him. You're dying to.
Johnny 'Dr. Fever' Caravella: It's... uh, foot powder, Mr. Carlson.
Arthur 'Big Guy' Carlson: Foot powder, huh?
[takes baggie]
Arthur 'Big Guy' Carlson: Not much there.
Johnny 'Dr. Fever' Caravella: It's REALLY potent. A little goes a long way. This is where the concept of 'happy feet' originated.
Arthur 'Big Guy' Carlson: [removes shoe] I get these odor-eaters, supposed to last me six months? These suckers turn on me in 15 days.
[looks at Doug]
Arthur 'Big Guy' Carlson: Can I get some of that?
Doug Winner: To put on your feet?
[nods to Carlson, who leaves studio... Doug, angry, now turns to Johnny]
Doug Winner: Man, that was 600 bucks worth of coke!
Johnny 'Dr. Fever' Caravella: Tough luck!
Doug Winner: [nervously] So... what do you think he'll do with it?
Johnny 'Dr. Fever' Caravella: Hey, Carlson's no fool man!
[smiles]
Johnny 'Dr. Fever' Caravella: He's gonna put it on his feet!

My wife is on all sorts of opiates. I really wish she didn't need them. Maybe I missed it, what are you in the hospital for?

I'm not on those now, but I've been there. Get yourself the biggest canister of Metamucil money can buy, and start drinking it a couple of times a day. You can thank me later.

Not on anything today, but I did once get knocked out and sustained a subdural hematoma during a rugby match, and got morphine for that. I can see how people would get addicted to it, it's this crazy euphoric feeling. Definitely comfortably numb.

Unfortunately I've lost a close family member as a "statistic" to opiates. trivializing the use like this is dangerous.

Sorry for your loss, but I'm on the tail end of a three year ordeal and am finally fixed and am in a great mood about it and will turn in the unused opiates wheni'm done. No lectures required thank you very much and my wife, who happens to be an RN, is taking great care of me, literally :) So I'm going to go back to making the best of it and having a great time. BTW, can you reccomend a good wine to go with?

Prayers to all those in this thread that have gone through or are going through difficult times (SODHusker, gcadays, bigboxes, arf man, litespeed). If I missed someone, my apologies. I'm sure if litespeed weren't as high as a kite, he would be a little more empathetic right now.

For those of you unable to seperate whatever happened in your lives that I had zero to do with and no control over, from me conquering a three year battle and making the best of it with some humor, I am sorry. I will quit posting in this thread, and promise not to hold you responsible for anything bad that happens to me or my family in the future that you had zero to do with or look down my nose at you for celebrating a victory over a three year battle you finally conqured and managed to find some humor in.

Hell, I joked with the doctor when told of the results of my wife's latest cancer evaluation. I love finding humor in all places. Without it, I would have a hard time holding on to reality. I say be yourself and keep on posting.

Yeah, you should logout for a while. I don't give a **** whether you were on the moon when one of these people was diagnosed with cancer, and one of them lost a loved one, you should still show understanding towards them.

Would you like someone to say "Ya know, I don't care if you went through 3 1/2 years of pain, anger, and suffering...It didn't impact me, so who gives a rip?" That wouldn't make you very happy, would it?

The point is...who cares that you didn't have anything to do with their difficulties. You're celebrating making it through your 3 1/2 year ordeal, but for some reason, you haven't gained an ounce of perspective going through it. When most of us go through a major life event, it makes us much more compassionate towards others. Or it can have the opposite effect...of making a person even more self-centered.

My dad had cancer in 2011 and went through radiation treatments (to his head) for a few months.

He was a self-centered jackhole before the cancer and now he is even more self-centered than before.

My mother drove him 160 miles round trip every day for 3 months and had to feed him through a feeding tube several times a day. The pain got worse as the radiation continued and he slept nonstop the last month of radiation.

During that time my mother woke him up to get him into the vehicle, woke him up to get him out of the vehicle and into the hospital, woke him up to get him out of the hospital, and woke him up to get him out of the vehicle and into bed at home before repeating it the next day and so on...

It was extremely hard on my mother because she was so scared of losing my dad, the issues in the family business that were going on, and not to mention my dad treating her horribly when he was not sleeping.

To this day, he still acts like it only affected him and that no one else had to deal with emotions or whatnot.

He has never been so self-centered in his life as he is today and everything revolves around him and his feelings. It makes for a rough relationship with my brothers and I running much of his family business on a day to day basis and we have to live with his horrible company decisions that not only affect his life, but my siblings livelihoods as well.

The only thing that helps my siblings and I pull through is the fact that we know and understand that the cancer and radiation have caused chemical imbalance type issues with his brain. He won't listen to anyone's advice and sees no problem with what he does and pushed away everyone that even mentions the mere thought of him needing medical help and/or therapy.

Cancer is tough for anyone involved and it can change who people are. I love my dad and many times I miss who he used to be.

I've seen some pointless pissing matches on this board where I asked myself, "Are these guys high?" But in this case one of the guys is LITERALLY HIGH.... so kinda maybe keep that in mind?

When my Dad was in ICU for a week between surgeries and was on morphine, he was actually psychotic. Like tie him to the bed because he sees spiders crawling on the ceiling. Not a good time. They figured out pretty quick they had to use something besides morphine.

Believe me, I thought of that, but he's coherent enough to form sentences. Some people will just never get that it's not a matter of "if" you're going to go through difficult times, but "when."

There's no pissing match here. We're just seeing someone whose inhibitions have been lowered by drug therapy. Gotta say, I don't like what I'm seeing.

Sorry to hear that, man. God bless your mom. She sounds like a saint.

I understand people not feeling well, and it making them angry and depressed. No one likes to feel crummy 24/7 for months or years on end. It's just no fun. But many gain a different persspective; of compassion and understanding that they never thought they were capable of, when they go through such hardship. And conversely, others will focus even more on themselves.

Just so you know, I wasn't looking down my nose at you...at all. As a matter of fact, anytime someone overcomes a difficult time in their life, I'm the first to applaud them. That's why I included your name in my post. I'm just saying that for all of our difficulties in life...everyone else out there also has their own cross to bear, and we should be understanding of that fact.

Okay, I'm confused as I have no idea what this thread is really about. For those who have conquered addiction or cancer (as I said, I'm not following) congrats. That's amazing. For those of you who are still struggling - please keep trying and don't give up. Serious part over.

Good luck to the Seattle Sounders in the MLS Cup Championship. Gotta get my soccer reference in there somehow. ;)

Exactly Julie. I feel for anyone going through heath problems for extended periods of time. Yes, and that includes you litespeed. Nothing is as daunting as trying to get up every day and continue the fight when you feel like garbage.

They can be wonderful drugs and there's a reason people get hooked on them. When you need them you need them. Thank God you can't get them at dispensaries in Colorado just for fun......
