Hugs to everyone who needs them but luckily they are e-hugs so you won't get my germs.
So sorry to hear that, TheFirst. Sending you good thoughts.thefirst wrote:Been walking on eggshells for the last two days, my brother is in ICU, with a yet undecided diagnosis. They've made some speculations about his gallbladder but can't do anything about it until they can get his vital signs within normal range. His pulse was about 185 when they moved him to the better hospital, and that was after their attempts at stabilizing him at the local one. He's only five years older than me, with 5 year old daughter and a 9month old son, and his wife of 15years is absolutely beside herself. He's always taken care of her, and now she doesn't know how to handle the idea of him being sick. I've spent most of the last days trying to reassure her, when I could really use some reassurance myself. So, I guess, today, I'm feeling anxious, and I really needed to get some of that off my chest, so thanks for being Watchers, and thanks for being here, I already feel a little better.

Oh no. What happened?Xar wrote:I'm both pissed off and stunned that a person I've known for over two years, and whom I considered a friend, has suddenly decided to change his attitude towards me completely, accusing me of "intolerable behaviours" and standing up on a pedestal to judge me, not to mention adding that he never thought of us as friends and doesn't care about me.
I can't help but feel betrayed.

Wish I knew... all of a sudden this guy has started accusing me of basically any loathsome behaviour you could have with others, then claiming that since he finds this behaviour intolerable, I should conform to his advice. He told me I can't relate to people, I'm utterly selfish, I'm a bastard who likes to exploit people, and so on. He said he only marginally cares about me more than a stranger, and when I told him I wanted to hear him about this in person he said he didn't have time to waste on this kind of stuff. When I called him on being selfish himself, as well as arrogant by assuming he's perfect and he has the right to judge others (wrongly, too), he said he knew he was not perfect but still he has the right to judge me as "inferior to others".Loremaster wrote:Oh no.

Honestly, I've never known anyone ranting like that... and all of a sudden, to top it all. You may think I'm exaggerating - but that's basically what he said, word for word.
I realise I don't know you that well - I mean, beyond the watch and IM - but from what I know you are anything but what he has said. You're one of the greatest people on the watch, and I don't think anyone would mirror his statements.Xar wrote:Wish I knew... all of a sudden this guy has started accusing me of basically any loathsome behaviour you could have with others, then claiming that since he finds this behaviour intolerable, I should conform to his advice.
