I GOT PRIDE CUPS AT TARGET

My grandpa is going to hospice tomorrow y'all

Discussing end of life care for my grandpa tomorrow

she sells seashells on the seashore, but the value of these shells will fall, due to the laws of supply and demand. no one wants to buy shells 'cause there's loads on the sand

step 1 - you must create a sense of scarcity. shells will sell much better if people think they're rare, you see. bear with me, take as many shells as you can find and hide 'em on an island. stockpile 'em high until they're rarer than the diamond

step 2 - gotta make the people think they want 'em, really want 'em, really fuckin want 'em. hit 'em like bronson. influencers, product placement, featured prime time entertaiment - if you haven't got a shell, then you're just a fucking waste, man

3 - it's monopoly. invest inside some property, start corporation, make a logo, do it properly 'shells must sell,' that will be your new philosophy. swallow all your morals, they're a poor mans quality

4 - EXPAND. EXPAND. EXPAND. clear forest, make land, fresh blood on hands

5 - why just shells? why limit yourself? she sells sea shells - sell oil as well

6 - guns, sell stocks, sell diamonds, sell rocks. sell water to a fish, sell the time to a clock

7 - press on the gas, take your foot off the brakes. then run to be the president of the united states

8 - big smile mate, big wave, that's great. now the truth is overrated, tell lies out the gate

9 - polarize the people, controversy is the game - it don't matter if they hate you if they all say your name

10 - the world is yours, step out on a stage to a round of applause. you're a liar, a cheat, a devil, a whore - and you sell seashells on the seashore

bloody hot right now innit

my windows 11 install destroyed itself somehow (despite me not having booted into windows 11 over a week) and i'd be freaking out more if i didn't already dual boot and use linux mint too lol

instead i'm just annoyed cuz i'll probably have to reinstall windows at some point but i hate installing windows so i'm not doing it now

btw the hospital called me last night (7:30 pm) and they said my grandpa is doing better

I TURNED MY FUCKIN AC OFF WHILE I WAS GONE AND NOW IM BACK HOME AND IM DYING

Seeing my grandpa at the hospital

My grandpa's resuscitation orders are now 'Do Not Resuscitate'. Obviously they're still going to be treating him, giving him his medicine, oxygen, etc. to keep him alive, but if his breathing stops or he goes into cardiac arrest, they are not going to try to revive him. With his age and frailty, it's too dangerous to try CPR to resuscitate him because it's more than likely that the chest compressions would end up breaking his ribs and killing him anyways.

we are at the 'hospital calls me at 2am to ask if there had been discussions between my grandpa and i about how much effort do we want to spend to keep him alive' levels y'all

MY GRANDPA CAN'T SWALLOW he's getting a peg tube

update on my grandpa: i didn't get a phone call from him yesterday but i just called the ICU to get an update on him and here's what i know:
- they've downgraded him from the big thing that gives him oxygen to the smaller thing that goes into his nose
- he's having difficulties swallowing right now and tomorrow they're going to doing a swallow exam
- the GI bleeding is still something they're working on, the nurse said they'll need to check his stomach, but he hasn't had any bloody bowel movements nor has he vomited any blood (IDK if that was a thing he was doing beforehand or if they're just noting that) either today or yesterday
- he may possibly be moved out of the ICU and back into the main part of the hospital in the next few days?

sad news toad fans...toad has gone...woke!!!

sometimes people will post 'mEDIA THAT TERRIFIED ME AS A KID' and it's some shit from like 2015 and i just immediately shrivel up and die.

Watch Macross

Sorry for posting too many status updates, but my grandpa is going back to the ICU. He's really sick. I'll try and visit him tomorrow. I've been preparing myself for what's going to happen sooner rather than later.

SAILOR MOON IS GOING TO AIR ON TOONAMI STARTING 31 MAY AT 5PM ON FRIDAYS

So my grandpa ain't coming home today...

They say my grandpa should be coming home tomorrow but I think it's a temporary thing because I think he still needs surgery but I guess it won't be for a little bit so they're gonna let him come home until then.

The doctors told me earlier today that my grandpa is doing better, he got a blood transfusion.

Another update from my grandpa's condition, putting in spoilers because it's heavy (don't worry he's not like...dying):

Update on my grandpa's condition: he's stable and they just called me to ask for my consent to sedate him because they're going to perform an upper endoscopy (putting a camera down his mouth to see if they can locate where the bleeding is, if anywhere)

My grandpa is back in the hospital.
