No flunked math: 100-99.969=0.031 100-99.5=0.5 0.5/0.031=16.13 (or 1613%) | ||

No flunked math: But apparently you slept through English class. | ||

Your math is as logical as this: Obviously common core logic. or somethin'. (Message edited by Crusty on December 09, 2020) | ||

Joe, pretty sure he is Russian, so English is a second language. No excuse for rude and disrespectful though. Pop just called and said mom won’t make it to tomorrow. Cancer and COVID have made 2020 the worst year of my life. Time for another funeral trip to Texas...  <edit> Pop just called me, bon voyage Mom. I hate flying.

Dang, Zac... may God's grace carry you and yours through what's ahead. Prayers up. | ||

I'm sorry to hear of your mom's passing Zac. We've only met once or twice, but everyone I meet on this forum somehow feels like family. You and your family will be one more to add in my morning commute prayer session. | ||

Zac, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. 2020 has definitely sucked, big time. | ||

Hate the flying, just get there safe, and look after your Pop. You've both lost a/the cornerstone to your family. I remember my mom's passing. When a parent or someone in your family that significant passes on, lots of things happen, and most are hard to deal with. There are good things though, all unexpected, that will force a smile through the tears. Focus on those things. My sis was in charge of the music we played- I had a song in mind off of a Lyle Lovett recording, "Joshua Judges Ruth". She nixed it, but I wish she hadn't. Most folks wouldn't appreciate the humor. Check it out. | ||

You can't fly or travel anywhere because of coronavirus. (Message edited by TPEHAK on December 10, 2020) | ||

Except for the million+ a day who flew each day over Thanksgiving. Do you really believe the stuff you post? | ||

Coronavirus life cycle is 2 weeks. If all humanity simultaneously will have sat home for 2 weeks the virus will be eliminated. Instead of having all those troubles for 1 year we just could sat home for 2 week and would not had all these troubles since then. | ||

Please don't respond to the troll. Cut off his oxygen. | ||

Day 263 of the 2 week business closure and personal isolation phase. That's from the belated March 23 New York City lockdown by his Imperial Majesty ( And heartthrob ) & Comrade Gazillionaire Mayor. Not the "racist over reaction conspiracy theory" restrictions on travel from the biological warfare murder zone by The Bad Orange Man on January 31. | ||

Zac, Heartfelt condolences. Mom's are the one person who love us more than anyone else on the planet I think. How'd she manage to bring you up so well?  By your nature, I can tell she was surely a loving compassionate and fun loving lady. | ||

Guys, Y'all are missing the humor. "We just need to admit the new human maximum age and move on." That's one of the funniest things I've read in a while. Geesh. Give the man some credit. He's a master at the dry humor. | ||
| Zac4mac |
Thanks for all the kind thoughts. Pop’s home phone has a greeting mom recorded, so I can hear her voice anytime. Not looking forward to flying but I got a really good price - $96.41 round trip. Denver-Houston-Denver The shuttle round trip is almost as expensive as the plane ride. Z | ||

I've lost a few this year myself, and won't bore or beg for sympathy for me. I'm doing fine between bouts of crippling depression and cardiac arrest level rage. But that's just because I'm learning to fly a traction kite. The grief and loss stuff, I've got handled.  Seriously, hang in there. It doesn't get easier, but it does get less sharp over time. Or less often. And not at all seriously, here's some sarcasm... Or what CNN would say if the guy was on MDMA. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_O9ltm_Gml0 | ||
| Zac4mac |
I assure you that I wasn’t trolling for sympathy, but a big pile of kind thoughts is as good as a pile of cards on your birthday. On a parallel topic, pop was grumbling about the hospital making mom’s cause of death COVID... after they told him she had recovered from that. | ||
| Ratbuell |
Sorry to hear of your loss, Zack. Spend good time with your family. I'm also sorry to hear that your mom was yet another case of our hospitals mis-classifying the cause of death. I hope you and/or your father have the strength to continue to fight it, so at least there's some truth surrounding her passing. Best to you and all of yours - may you draw strength from each other, and from the knowledge that she no longer suffers. |
