No but I ate a frog before, thibadue.... 

Found out a good friend of mine passed away this morning. He had incurable cancer and had stopped treatment recently. His wife had informed him that she wanted a divorce the same day he told her he had decided to stop treatment as I understand it. He was very depressed and had cut ties with everyone in his life trying to push us away. I saw him last week and gave him a hug and told him I loved him expecting that I might not see him again but hoping that he’d let me be there to support him. I suspect that he took his own life, likely in part to ensure that his wife would get his insurance policy rather than allowing her to separate from him and lose it when in his mind this was his inevitable conclusion anyway, based on conversations I’ve had with him. 
 

edit: just found out he left notes. 

I love visiting the Apple Store. Seems like, invariably, I walk out of there having spent $800 I didn’t plan to spend.

Sorry for your loss.

Sorry to hear it.  Obviously I don't know the whole story, but having your wife ask for a divorce while you're battling cancer is rough, to say the least.

Agreed. He was in a bad spot mentally for some time and they probably would have gotten divorced several years ago had he not gotten sick. 

Tell me about switching electric suppliers.  I have PECO.  Looking for something cheaper.  Times yours.

You can keep PECO but contract a 3rd party to be your electric supplier.  We use to do that prior to installing solar.  But your not as progressive and ahead of the curve as we are so that’s your best bet.

I took a French girl out once, but she found out I had a girlfriend (that's another story) before our date so I never even got to first base.

I'm going to be the poster child for cardio recovery.  My body is in shock from all the fresh produce I've been calling food these days.

My business partner had a heart attack a few years back. He's been working with a doctor on some new fangled treatments and a couple of months ago his doctor told him that his heart appears to have completely healed, no scarring or nothing, and that he was free to resume some of his not so healthy activities, within reason.

I hate poison ivy.

Nearly scalding hot water (not hot enough to hurt you) is almost orgasmic on an itchy rash like poison ivy. They (whoever 'they' are) don't recommend that, but it WILL feel really good and WILL relieve the itching for multiple hours.

Fin yay!  My smoker looks so sad out back.

I was just involved in an email string at work and this glorious word salad was thrown in. Can anyone translate salad? 

Quote

We have talked about several things over the last two weeks. As part of those discussions, we talked about specific deliverables and in some instances the team understandably needed to have creative discussions to develop deliverables. I think I would be very helpful if we establish a list of deliverables that we discussed or have resulted from the team discussions so we have a running list and can see what is produced but also see that our deliverables are hitting on all the messages we need to hit. Does this help/make sense?

 

Yes

Not to brag, but I just successfully (so far anyway) replaced the throttle cable on my lawnmower. All by myself.

I'm going to guess that was written by a woman and she's not very good at Fing.

I didn’t know you worked for our VP. Someone in CVON would say!

I cocur. After washing taint area, following up with a good spray of hot water is as euphoric as a long awaited piss after dring for hours on the river.

 

Too soon redden?

I'd counter with that is likely all she is good at.

Point taken.
