Pray for my father

[Jeremy]

Or whatever you would do in whatever religion you're a part of. Apparently he had chest pains last night at work and had been taken to the hospital. Going to visit him sometime tonight.

Pray for me too so they'll stop calling me in for days I'm not supposed to be in.

[King_Nate]

if he doesnt make it, maybe u can take him to the temple!:eek:

[JfromtheD]

if he doesnt make it, maybe u can take him to the temple!:eek:
What the f*ck is wrong with you?!? :confused:

[JfromtheD]

I'm sorry to hear this, Jeremy.
You have my well wishes.

[King_Nate]

nothin, why whats wrong?:confused:

[King_Nate]

i thouth this was site about lost........if my dad was n the hospital i wouldnt be POSTING id be at the FU**ing hospital...DUH, so you r asking the wrong person whats wrong :D have a good day, hope u enjoy the show!:eek:

[JfromtheD]

I like you, Nate. But that was a bit abrasive.

It's just a respect thing, you know?
Jeremy could use some good thoughts and support, we should give it to him.

Good day to you, as well.

[notsolost42]

You and your family are in my thoughts Jeremy. Let us know how he's doing. Some of us appreciate this forum as more than something just about a television show but rather the friendships we have made because of a television show. Hang tough and be strong for your family.

[notsolost42]

if he doesnt make it, maybe u can take him to the temple!:eek:

You are a complete buffoon!:mad:

[chester]

I think the best thing you could do for him, apart from being there for him physically, is to make sure the insurance is up to date. The doctors will do the rest - or whatever else can be done.

[beachblinkette]

Your dad was smart, Jeremy. He went to the hospital instead of denying the pain and making things worse. There are many things they can do for heart attacks now and for treating the after-effects. This may just be a warning signal for him to change some habits. I hope he's receiving the best of care and will be on the mend soon. I will say a prayer for him as "Jeremy dad." You are a very responsible and caring person. Seeing you being there and hearing your encouraging words will mean a lot to him.:)

Amen to that Notso!!
Jeremy,
You are in my thoughts and prayers. I lost my Mom in Dec. and now my Dad has cancer. It's a scary place to be and it's good to know you have friends here that really do care. Hang in there kid! We love ya!:)

[notsolost42]

Oh Lindy. I'm so sorry. We're all here for each other.

[LissaMarie]

You're in my thoughts and prayers, Jeremy and Lindy. Wishing the best for both of you and your families...

[tpbaxter]

I'm sorry but I'm with Nate on this. I could care less about you or your father because as harsh as it is, I don't know the guy and I don't know you. I also have a relative who is sick right now and everything is going to be ok but I don't go posting about it to complete strangers.

I would stay quiet if this were an isolated incident, but not for nothing Mr. Jeremy, you do this a lot: you make big posts broadcasting things about your personal life as if everyone should care because you seem to believe that the world revolves around you.

I hope your father's situation improves and I wish the best for you and your family, but at the same time I hope you get over yourself eventually. Please don't expect that every time you do this I am going to reply with 'boo hoo everything is going to be ok'. If you are broadcasting personal information to random strangers then be ready to get random rude remarks from those strangers.

[LissaMarie]

Aw, TP. Why do you do it? I see your motives for commenting on Jeremy's post the same as you see Jeremy's motives for creating the thread in the first place. Why would you bag on Jeremy for trying to get attention when you're doing the same exact thing? Seems pretty hypocritical to me.

I beg both you and Nate...if you don't have anything nice to say, ESPECIALLY when someone is reaching out due to an illness in the family, just move on and keep your comments to yourself! It's really easy to do and shows a little bit of class.

[notsolost42]

Maybe it's because Jeremy doesn't have too many people to talk to. It doesn't matter whatever his reason is. We're here for him. And you Mr. Bax, Mr. My OS Doesn't Play ABC.com Lost and I waahhhh.....Shouldn't complain about someone else discussing their personal problems....It's nice to have the anononimity to be able to talk about things that are so personal sometimes. It gives you a kind of freedom to speak. So....:p to you Mr. Bax!

[beachblinkette]

I will only speak for myself here. I don't mind if Jeremy posts about things that are of concern to him and he wants to share his concern with the rest of us. I see it as a strength, not a weakness. If I am not interested in what someone says then I just skip their posts. That's what I would do instead of criticizing him. Why shoot him when he is already wounded? Maybe anyone's sick relative could do with a few good people sending prayers and or positive thoughts their way? I don't see the harm in it.:)

[stargazer]

{{{HUG}}} I'm praying for you and your Dad, sweetheart. Keep us posted.

[stargazer]

Geez, TP..lighten up a little..

[tpbaxter]

yeah I know I actually hesitated before posting this but I guess someone has to be the bad guy eventually. In my personal opinion this topic is wholly inappropriate for this forum and I also believe that Mr. Jeremy is obviously fishing for compliments and attention. Stated simply I think this is the wrong way to go about it. Besides, I don't even know if what he is saying is true.

Last time he was talking about this and that and now he's going on about people being ill and even though people here are pretty nice eventually this is going to go too far and someone is going to get hurt. These posts have to stop. We can either keep deleting and censoring content or we can monitor ourselves with free and open discussion.

I am sure plenty of people here would be glad to be Jeremy's friend on Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, Twitter, or any of the million other social networking sites that are out there these days which would be a much more suitable place to post this kind of content.

By the way, my whining about abc not working on my OS is not only relevant to me. Linux is a free operating system made by the people, for the people. Two conglomerations fighting to maintain their monopoly by ignoring a viable competitor will eventually effect you someday. Remember how bad IE was until Firefox lit a fire under Microsoft's pants?

One last thing, Jeremy's less than flattering remarks toward Anton recently have not gone unnoticed by me. Mr. Jeremy seems like a big boy who should be able to take care of himself. Best wishes to this young man's family and now at this point I think this thread should go away.

[Here'sLOCKEing at you,Kid]

Jeremy, you have support from me, too. Ignore those that know not what they do.

[Anton]

OK.
first, I will start by saying
Jeremy, I truely hope that your dad gets better, I prey now, and I will prey till we get the good news (as I hope it will be good)
TP, Nate, I understand that you don't feel that this thread is lost related, and YOU feel that he is posting to compleat strangers, but maybe if the two of you wern't so stuck up in your OWN worlds, you would know that YOU ARE WRONG.
Just because YOU are a compleate stranger to Jeremy, DOES NOT mean the rest of us are!
I may not know him personaly, not face to face, but I know him enough to know he desurves GOOD WILL, and not HATEFULL comments, TP, you have maid it clear to us, in the past, that you don't even like lost, but if you will please read the wording below the link that takes you to this sight, you will see that it says "A lost FAN sight..."
notice the word FAN in the title, you, as you have said, do not like the show, and thus, YOU are not a fan (and NO, the fact that someone watches a show does NOT make them a fan, they must LIKE the show, in order to be a fan!), and thus, you yourself, are posting in a non related topic.
If Jeremys post's do not belong here on a lost fan sight, then your post certenly dont belong on a lost FAN sight.
so, either GET LOST, and go away, or grow some BA!!$ and learn when to SHUT UP!
Nate, I don't know how long you've been here, but around here, its a bad Idea to assosiate yourself with and A$$ like TP, I see what it is you are saying, and you would be right to say that this is unrelated to lost, except for one little detale, he IS adressing his friends here, who happen to be FANS of lost, and thus, as he is adressing LOST fans, his thread becomes lagitemit (seeing as he himself is a fan)
I will say this, if you want to get into details about something, I welcome you to do so, as I am VERY good at turning someone elses arguments against them, as you have just plainly seen, so go ahead, come at me, but remember this, another loophole about this sight, is that now we have a moderator who is VERY incvolved in this sight, as a resolt, she has the power to have you BLOCKED,
so a little friendly edvice, BACK THE **** off, and learn some manners.
this isn't a threat, though you may perseave it as one, it is simply a heads up, and the little knowledge that comes with it!

[mcgarnigle]

ya'll some funny mutha fuc*as. some of you care too much, some too little. some have tact, some not at all.

it's as if i don't even need lost anymore, i can just watch this board and see society play out right in front of me. although no one is quite as fetching as ms. austin.

[Turnip Queen]

I'm really sorry to hear about your da Jeremy, and I hope he's gonna be ok. Try to think as positively as you can and send him good vibes! Doctors treat stuff like this every day, and people like your da get treated and come out just fine - don't worry!

[Anton]

Less than flattering remarks? I beg your parden (ser?)
but all things said betwean myself and Jeremy have ALWAYS been in jest, Jeremy is no more or less fond of me, than I am of Jeremy! he and I ARE good friends, and it never would have been that way lest this sight had maid it so, and yes, this is a GREAT place to post this, as I said in the above post (see above post) this is a LOST FAN SIGHT, and therfor, anything post by a fan, for a fan to read, in the general discusions area, is VIABLE, and exceptable!

[sirchin]

I hope he get's better soon, Jeremy.

[Ted "lost one" Digsol]

hope things turn out well jeremy, my prayers are with you and your family. with that said it seems sad to me that people in this forum would behave so childishly. obviously they have some type of misplaced aggression. no matter who the person, like them dislike them, if they choose to post in this forum and want to share something as personal as this should be allowed .if you (anyone who feels it necessary to be completely rude and absolutely distasteful)don't like it then you could try ...1) not responding to the thread at all ,or my favorite ...
2)go start your own forum for small minded insecure losers who have to belittle or make others look or feel badly in order make themselves feel good about themselves. and to those who have been supportive, what comes around goes around....

WOW!!!
I like the new guy! I call BEST FRIEND position!!!!!:D
Hi ted, I am your new best friend!:) forget the other guy!

[Unbridled Pageantry]

Best of wishes Jeremy.

And bax not to pile on, but I know so much useless information about you from all the posts that you've babbled on about yourself in. My god man, I know about the toilet problems your family had growing up, and your love of the mutant ninja turtles.

I'll admit I go out of my way to try and be funny. Everyone who posts on this site is looking for attention in a way. That's why everyone of us signed on, we thought we had something to say, and wanted other people to know what it was. Jeremy is just looking for support from friends. If he goes and tells his dad , "Hey guess what people from Ireland, England, Canada, Australia, and all ove the US are thinking about you getting better." that might actually make a difference. And that's what this thread is really about; not attention for Jeremy, but letting Jeremy tell his dad people all over the world are sending their best wishes.

[Captain Obvious]

tpmaxipad is trying to steal unwarranted attention.

[tpbaxter]

* sigh *

yeah I mean if I'm wrong and you disagree with me that's fine. I'm perfectly willing to admit if I have said something wrong or gone too far, but I don't think I've belittled anyone. I am simply stating that I do not think this is appropriate for this forum. Period.

Like I've said this is not an isolated incident. Don't expect sympathy now when the next dude sees this and decides to make a post about committing suicide for more attention. Or what happens the next time some random rude person really does belittle him in response and that dude actually decides to go forward with his plans.

Like I said, I find this thread dangerous and wholly inappropriate. It's not like he was responding to a conversation in the barma or something, he made a completely new thread for this and it is not the first time. Talking about my dog is not the same as what is happening here.

More than anything though I think I have encouraged more responses to this thread instead of killing it, which is disappointing. At this point I think people should express their feelings to Jeremy and myself through private messages rather than encouraging this conversation.

LALALALALALAA!!!!! I can't hear you!

Just wanted you to see how childish you sound Bax. I am disappointed in you. We seemed to have had some decent conversation today until your first post in this thread. I was beginning to change my mind about you. Guess I must have been jumping to a conclusion all too quickly.

You are quite simply an attention ho.
(can I say that? IDK, but I just did)

TP, this part of the forum is a little more laid back than the other places, yes we talk about Lost, but we are also friends and cut up a lot about things that aren't even remotely related to Lost. And yes we do care about each other and try to be there for our friends no matter what. Going off topic doesn't bother me at all, and neither does someone sharing their problems. It's been like this since I've been here, and I like it this way. I'm sorry it bothers you, but that's the way it is, and I don't think this is gonna change. So lighten up dude. Keep the funny, remember?

Well TP, I don't see this as an attempt by you to kill this thread at all! or rather, it is an attempt to kill it, but not for the reasons you claime!
you are attemting to kill it, because you know FOR A FACT that what has been said in Jeremys deffence has been 100% true, and that your best chance of gaining support (the using anton thing didn't work out did it?) has flown FAR FAR away, and therefor, you have no leg to stand on!
the best you can do is keap saying "I don't think this thread is apropriate" but you know you are wrong!
as Jeremy is adressing lost fans, and he himself is a fan, and this IS THE GENERAL discusions forum (in case you lost your dictionary, General means "not spacificaly") therefor, the only requirment and rule, for posting a thread is... wait for it.... *drum play's in the back round*.... wait.... you MUST be a FAN of LOST and you MUST be adressing other lost FANS!!!

That's enough, ok? No more.

We're going to reserve this thread for Jeremy now.

[Anton]

fine.... maybe....:)

[tpbaxter]

Anton... hi :). I am saying this as nicely as I possibly can, but I seriously think you need to calm down a bit. I am not attacking Jeremy, just the content of his post which I have said repeatedly that I feel was inapprorpriate. You disagree. I get it. Enough.

I can't find the thread but the comments towards you I was referring to by the way was when he said something to the effect of "in a world where Anton has friends anything is possible" and then there's another thread where he claims his story is better than yours. I apologize for sticking my nose in your business.

Sirchin, UP, and a few others, I understand where you are coming from so I will say that I am in the wrong here and back off.

One last thing I'll say (which I probably shouldn't but...) is that in a lot of ways I think you guys are completely full of it :D. Everyone is so quick to attack me and turn this thread into a flame war. You are having your fun as much as anyone.

You're welcome. :D

ok seriously enough. can i at least have that last word and we can move on?

[tpbaxter]

fine.... maybe....:)

ha! yeah do what she says! you tried to run to your mommy moderator on me but you got yelled at instead! ha ha!

hehe ok now I am starting sh*t. calm down Anton, I'm just playing.

[spartygirl]

My prayers are with you and your family Jeremy....dont ever forget that prayer is a very powerful thing....

so,,dont focus on the crap being said in here...just focus on praying for good health for your dad !!!!

and you can talk to us anytime that you need to....We are here for you !!!

[JfromtheD]

I was once on another board and a member spoke about harming themself.
My reaction was "I don't need to hear that sh!t." I never went back there.

So I respect where Tp is coming from.
Though, I don't think this is the same thing.

I had issue with one sentence, on one post of this thread.
I said what I said, and I hold no ill will.

Personally, I wish all of you, good fortune!

Good thing you were never a 911 operator JD! Once, I had a 911 call from a cell phone, it was before the number could be captured and only gave the tower number which is really no help at all, and it was a young person, teenager probably, threatening to commit suicide. This person said they were drinking and took pills. Then they hung up. What an absolutly helpless feeling. I couldn't send help for this person because I had no idea where the call came from. Then, about an hour later they called back. They started sounding worse. Same problem. They hung up. This person called a few times and I did my best to try and get the info on where they were but they just weren't talking. I listened to what they were saying and tried to console them and talk them out of it. I never found out what happened and still wonder to this day if they are okay. I sure hope so.

[Lostdude2341]

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family my friend.

[LostandAlone]

To me this forum is like going to work, or to school. Most of the time you need to focus on the job or the studies - here it's discussing Lost. Then you start to get to know some of the people you work with or go to school with - You have a few laughs, party, or have a few drinks together. When someone is going through something, they need a shoulder to lean on, or just someone to talk to about their fears or whats on their mind. There's plenty of threads about LOST, and if not, start more. But I've noticed the fondness people have for eachother and I like it. If anyone doesn't like it - it's best to go to a thread you do like and not inject negativity into it. Blessings and Love to you all.

That was so beautifully put! And so true. I'm glad to be here for someone, everyone, who needs to talk about anything. And I know you and so many others here are also.

[boutte]

My prayers for you and your family Jeremy. I strongly believe in the power of prayer and recently asked some of my friends here to say a prayer for a family member so I know where you're comming from.

[boutte]

if he doesnt make it, maybe u can take him to the temple!:eek:

I'm sorry but I'm with Nate on this. I could care less about you or your father because as harsh as it is, I don't know the guy and I don't know you. I also have a relative who is sick right now and everything is going to be ok but I don't go posting about it to complete strangers.

I would stay quiet if this were an isolated incident, but not for nothing Mr. Jeremy, you do this a lot: you make big posts broadcasting things about your personal life as if everyone should care because you seem to believe that the world revolves around you.

I hope your father's situation improves and I wish the best for you and your family, but at the same time I hope you get over yourself eventually. Please don't expect that every time you do this I am going to reply with 'boo hoo everything is going to be ok'. If you are broadcasting personal information to random strangers then be ready to get random rude remarks from those strangers.

I'll say a prayer for you two also. You need it more than Jeremy's father. You've both exhibited a total lack of class or any other redeeming features. Jeremy is a young man who has made friends with many of the members of this forum and came here looking for support from those friends and you chose to instead to make insulting and idiotic remarks. Some people believe that prayer can make a real difference and asking for the prayers of others is not an unreasonable request in my opinion. If this isn't your belief then just move on. You didn't do that though did you? What was the point of these heartless and mean spirited remarks I wonder. Did you enjoy the idea that you might be able to kick a kid while he was down? If there was any higher motive please inform me as to what it could possibly be.

You didn't do that though did you? What was the point of these heartless and mean spirited remarks I wonder. Did you enjoy the idea that you might be able to kick a kid while he was down? If there was any higher motive please inform me as to what it could possibly be.

AMEN Boutte !!!! My prayers are with everyone here...the power of prayer is very strong !!!!!!!!!

Is everyone also praying that they don't call Jeremy in when he's not supposed to go in, as he also requested?

I didn't quite understand that part? or just pray for "them not calling him in..." (on faith, not on understanding).

No. He's on his own on that one.

[Jeremy]

Lately my boss has been calling me in to work because the other dishwasher isn't showing up. That part of the post was really just a joke, though.

Anyway, thanks everyone for the help you've given. It means a lot, and very appreciated. I'd tell my father, but we've just gotten back home from a long trip to the hospital and he's probably sleeping right now. Either that or talking with his new roomie in 442.

It seems like he'll be fine. He has to have a test done tomorrow, which I couldn't possibly recall the name of, but the proffesionals think that he should be fine within a few days. I guess I was just shocked when I heard he was taken to the hospital this morning when just the other day he looked completely healthy. I thought it was some kind of late april fools joke.

They say he'll probably have to make permanent changes though, like his diet. Not sure how that's going to turn out, but we'll live. Again, thanks for all your support. :)



Tpbaxter, I can understand why you've got that idea about me, and I probably am a bit of an attention whore, since I don't have many friends elsewhere, but I don't think anyone else here or anywhere for that matter is completely selfless. Everyone wants to feel like they are at least somewhat important.

That's not to say this was really for me, though. I posted this for my dad. Maybe you wouldn't do the same if you were in this situation, but what you decide to share with others is completely up to you, so long as it abides by the rules. If you want to talk about Lost, then that's great, or if you want to talk about any other number of things, that's fine, too. But not everyone is like you. Whether you think it's innapropriate or not does not matter to me.

As far as insulting goes, it's all sarcasm, and I at least hope everyone else understands that. It's not my intention to hurt anyone here. If I have, I apoligise and hope I can be forgiven, but it seems to me everyone here can take a joke or have a sense of humor. I wouldn't get angry myself unless they made it clear it's meant to be a personal attack, and even then, there's no use in getting angry over something so unimportant that I can't control.

Besides, I consider everyone here my friend, even if I don't know much about them or haven't had much of a conversation with them. They certainly seem nicer than most people I've met in real life, and they are definetly more "real" than most people you would find on myspace or myyearbook who only care about how many "friends" they have or how much e-money they've saved. All those people care about are their egos, whereas this nice little community seems to take in anyone as they are. Kind of innocent until proven guilty, if at all.

Since we haven't really gotten to know eachother, and there was no way you could have known what my intentions were when posting this or any other threads, there are no hard feelings.

[LissaMarie]

I am so impressed by you, Jeremy. Even though you are one of the youngest, you have shown more maturity than almost everyone else who replied. Good for you and I'm so thankful things seem to be taking a turn for the better with your Papa.:)

[notsolost42]

I'm so happy you got some positive news Jeremy. He'll do what he needs to, don't worry. It won't be easy but there really isn't much choice. Jeremy, you are an asset to this forum and I am proud to call you friend.

[Jeremy]

Thanks guys. I'm not so sure I'd say I'm mature though. I've done some pretty stupid things that I can look back on and laugh at. :p And others I'm not proud of. Everyone's different, but I think everyone is equal in a way. Maybe some aren't as "good" or "bad" according to the community, but it seems they are hardwired the way they are, and I can't blame them for how they were built. That's just me, though.

Not sure of what the outcome will be yet, but whatever changes my father has to make, I'm sure it won't be as bad as when my brother got hit by a car a few years ago, or at least I hope it won't be. He was a bit bitter for a few months because all he could eat were non-solid foods like yogurt and ice cream and milkshakes. He eventually got better though...well, except it seems he lost some brain cells. :p He is my brother and everything and I'd hate for something to happen to him too, but a lot of his choices don't seem too smart. Selling and trading perfectly fine cars for ones that don't work, getting involved in drugs as well as drug trafficing, and mostly just being a rebel as far as law goes. Anyone else ever have a problem like this with a family member?

[misslynn1963]

Glad ur Dad's gonna be OK. If he makes the changes he needs to, he shud be fine.

Remind me never to post any personal trauma here....u people r BRUTAL!!!

[Jeremy]

Thanks Misslynn.
Yeah, some are brutal I guess, but I wouldn't let them dictate whatever you feel you want to post. For the most part it's a free message board. :)

[misslynn1963]

You're welcome, Jeremy....and I'll keep that in mind.

[tpbaxter]

Hey Jeremy. cool, I'm glad everything seems to be working out for you and your family now. I'm glad your here too. Talking about this while your here may make these comments feel a little more comfortable now.

misslynn1963, I find your comments unfair. No one is suggesting that you not bring up some personal trauma. By the way, I am not against anyone being an "attention whore" or making personal friendships on this forum. Those things are all great. I said I found this post to be inappropriate and I still think it was inappropriate. Jeremy now that your here, I am curious to know what you think too. I think you've already apologized or explained yourself as best you can so I don't want this to seem like I'm mad at you or something. I just want to clarify this. Here's why I feel the way I do:

1. Claiming that a loved one is dying, injured or ill is not the right way to get attention

2. Do you not find it incredibly selfish to scare everyone by saying someone you care about is in trouble and then leaving everyone to worry all day not knowing what's going on?

Would you not say the most likely result of your post is that people will get scared, and considering your previous history of making attention grabbing posts about your personal life, does it not seem like you may have wanted this result? I'm sorry and please feel free to disagree with me, but I did not get the feeling that your original post was made because you believed the power of prayer was the only thing that could help your father. I felt personally that you wanted attention. Which is all good but would you not agree that this was not the best way to go about it?

Jeremy, considering your past history, is not unreasonable that I would not respond by trying to give you more attention for undesirable behavior? You specifically may have learned your lesson or not meant anything harmful by it or whatever, but does it not seem likely that if someone else who did the same thing for less innocent reasons would only find the responses to this thread encouragement for pulling more shenanigans like this?

Sorry some of these are rhetorical questions because I think you've already responded in your previous posts. Please forgive me if I sound a little defensive at this point but I was essentially called some sort of anti-christ who is against prayer this afternoon :rolleyes:.

misslynn1963, I am sure that if you had some personal trauma, you would not do it exactly this way. And if you did, I apologize, but I probably would also object to your behavior. I don't think anyone is trying to be mean or insensitive here. It is just a matter of deciding on what we think is appropriate and inappropriate behavior on this forum. I am still on the side of inappropriate but if people disagree with me that's fine. I love debate, preferably without the name calling at this point... unless they are funny names :D.

I have a cousin that was "the black sheep" of the family. He's all grown up now though and has overcome all that stuff, thankfully. The last woman he married straightened his butt up!! She honestly saved his life.
Glad to hear your dads doing better, Jeremy!

[Anton]

glad to here your dads doing good Jeremy
I have to agree, you handled this much better then I did, and I appologize for participating in turning this thread into something it was not ment to be.

[boutte]

Glad ur Dad's gonna be OK. If he makes the changes he needs to, he shud be fine.

Missylynn that's really not the case here. I was surprised at a couple of the responses and am sorry that you got the impression that you did. This really is one of the friendliest places I've ever found on the Internet. Come by the Barma later and introduce yourself. You'll love the crowd in there.

Jeremy, glad things are gonna be o.k. buddy.

[misslynn1963]

I have visited the Bharma and did meet some nice folks...notso, lampy, chester...just didn't spend too much time there tho...

[S.T]

Im not much of a prayer guy, but my thoughts are with you and your father and I wish him good health. I know what it feels like to have someone close to you in a hospital.

[LincolnEcho06]

Looks like I caught the end of a long thread, which seems to be my story all the time. I'm glad everything is okay and hopefully all that have replied to this thread and read it fully have learned or grown in some way.

Sounds like a heart attack or heart murmur (if that's still a medical term thrown around). People tend to lose brain cells after having a heart attack, sometimes even lose the ability to move an arm or something. Updates are appreciated too when I pray for people; thank you for that.

If someone could help me out, I would really like to know how to start a thread. I've tried asking the people in charge of the site and gotten no response. This is like asking how to play Euchre and people condemn you for being an idiot. Send a message to my screenname.

[losttime]

As much as I dont care for how baxter goes about expressing himself or Nate's outrageous response, this really isnt the forum to be discussing this. Honestly though when I first read the post I thought it was some type of weird thing to talk in here. I come on to this site for Lost. I do hope this person family is ok but man, I am an RN in the ER and the last thing I need to read is someone's life in peril. Make a discussion board titled "Off the Topic" and discuss this there. I am surely not bashing him for it, just think it could have been posted in a different area. The water cooler is not an area I would expect a post like this. Having said that, I do wish your father a speedy recovery.

[King_Nate]

Im not outragous at all, i think some poeple are on the wrong site......i thought this was a "lost" site so i was basing my thought on LOST, ben was hurt and needed help....hense the temple.....DUH, lmao and as 4 taking time out 2 type about some1 hurt....didnt hurley say it the best to sawyer.....U DONT WAIT WITH WARNING,,,, so unless hes posting from daddy's bed side like WIDMOREE was w/ LOCKE then tuck your lil whinny lip and get over it!!!!!!!



P.S. LMAO, i just say what 80% of u wanted to say......these threads are fillled with help me get a free x box or pray my house doesnt get mortgaged ,or begging 4 attention, or the other 20 threads that are the COMPLETE same its a lil outta control!:D

[LissaMarie]

Once again, lets just leave this thread alone. No need to stoke the fires.

You're an ER nurse? Well, you're not a very compassionate nurse then and I hope you treat your patients better, but somehow, I don't think so.

And you, you are so selfish and cruel and I hope when the day comes that you need the support of people around you, you get from them what you gave to Jeremy....a calous attitude made from ice.

Just for both of you, this is in the General Discussion threads. This is a general discussion. I don't care what reason Jeremy gave but he needed to have some people around him to feel better. I was a 911 operator and let me tell you, when you need to talk to someone it can be very important. I wish you both learn tolerance and patience and hope that neither of you ever have children to pass on your lousy attitudes. Unless you grow up yourselves first.

[notsolost42]

Too late for me Lis. I was typing away when you made that request. I am not disrespecting it intentionally but I really had to say something to those two bozos.

Thanks Notso! I was just going to re-phrase my post in the hopes that I was just being too wishy-washy the first time.:)

I would like to ask that we all just let this thread fade into a memory. I am running out of patience and have better uses for my time, ok everybody?

You can't disable it somehow? Too bad if not. There should be a way to do that instead of letting it just fade away....hey, that reminds me of a song...not fade away!

[lostie108]

jeremy i do hope your father is ok . sorry if this is late , i did not have a chance to read all the posts so i am not sure if he is alright but hope it all works out .

[Jeremy]

I'm all for letting this thread to fade, but I just wanted to let everyone know that he's back home now and that he's fine, other than that he won't be able to go back to work for a few days. So thanks again everyone for your support. As far as I can tell he didn't have a stroke or a heart attack, but it's funny you mention that because my grandfather has and he's been in a wheelchair for the past ten years or so, can't use most of his left side, and now that he's been put in a nursing home, he's convinced that his wife is cheating on him. Who would cheat at that age?

As for myself, I think I might need something to happen to me. My boss thinks that since I'm on school vacation, it means I have nothing better to do than work 4-5 hours every day. I don't know what any other job is like but to me this is exhausting.

[lostie108]

hey ladies you already stroked the fire enough . when all you both needed to do was give jeremy your best wishes and forget about the KING DOOFUS , i like how you both type in and try to show how you are the bigger person by stoping the bash fest which you started after the doofus began . looks like he wins again . LMFAO

Change your name to notsointelligent. In my thread I mention that I deal with that all shift. You dont know me at all. I am an exceptionally compassionate RN but when I get home from work and want to unwind I dont want to see people talking about sickness and hurt and pain. I want to discuss Lost. If you read through my whole thread, you would have noticed I wished him a speedy recovery. You really are an idiot. Before you question my compassion as an RN learn to read the thread first. I didnt say he shouldnt talk about it on here, but could put it in an off-topic section. So learn to read or consider what a person writes before criticising him. Damn you are dumb.
