Going to be an interesting weekend.

[Dragon]

Tomorrow at 1PM I will be attending the memorial service of a long time friend, Tammy, who died in her sleep Tuesday at the ripe old age of 48 in Erie, PA.  So I just got a call from my good friend, Dale, who just flew in from Phoenix, wondering if and when we were driving out.  Here is where it starts to get interesting. 

Dale just buried his 21 year old son who died from a drug overdose on Dec 26th, about 2 hours after Dale and his girlfriend landed in PA to visit her family.  Next flight out back to Phoenix to make arrangement for funeral in NC where his ex-wife and the rest of the family live.  A few days after returning to Phoenix from NC, he gets the call about Tammy. 

To top it all off, he is trying to negotiate a truce between the family and Tammy's autistic son, Andrew, who is 26 and going through process of becoming a "female".  Ari, as he/she goes by now, wants to wear a dress.


I'm debating on splitting a 2 bedroom suite with Dale and going out tonight just to spend a bit more time with these nut-case friends of mine.

So now the plot thickens.

Tammy died in her sleep while taking a nap at 2pm.  I just found out that she and Bill have been drinking approx a fifth or more each per day for the last year.  Liver failure.  I am currently the property manager for their old house they put up for rent.  Bill has ballooned and yes piss yellow eyes although he has had no drink since Tammy died, suicide watch basically.  $100 bucks a month gone for me if he kicks the bucket unless I grab control of the house. Just booked our rooms for tomorrow night.  Ugh. gonna miss squad night for this shiiiit.

look on the bright side, most people dont know the value of a friendship.  but you do, it's 100 bucks a month.

if your friend is an hard core alcoholic then stopping drinking without medical help will kill him.  the symptoms you described are a bad sign  so for the sake of the 100 bucks a month get him some help.  god knows you deserve those 100 bucks.

Sarcasm accepted.  I do worry about my friend and old business partner, but I am also a realist and know when to call a loss a loss.  I worry more about the tenant now since at least she has a good head on her shoulders.  Sorry I have such a piss poor view of death, but everyone has to deal with it eventually.  Been that way since the beginning of time, why get all sentimental about it?

You aren't the only one, brother.

Sometimes it is just better to laugh at death.  It happens to the best of us.

If someone wants to drink themselves into a coma or an early grave, I'm not stopping them, especially if they don't care themselves.
