WP members GF ill with cancer

Post Reply New Topic

i did respond back via PM some time ago, yes

& @ Jono: yup

Just to let people know, might not be able to get on as much in the next week or so.
Going to be busy packing all my stuff, etc.
I'll prolly still be on, sure, but might not be able to reply as promptly at times,

also when i got back from camping, found out apparently there's a new problem in the family.
It would seem my sister kate's supposedly gotten into cocaine & unprotected sex and just generally making trouble recently. She's trying to move into my dad's place as well since her job just fell through, though my dad's all like "wtf??". *sigh* idk why, but it seems my life's just been a dark vortex of drama lately...

I love the sound of your grandpa, did he tell you about the conspiracies and cover-ups while you fished? :lol


Have you moved a lot before now ( with your parents being separated and your mom having difficulties with housing, I mean )? I hope your new house/room is nice.


It is weird how that happens. I found a way, several years ago now, of "framing" this sort of thing, of making it feel less like a personal attack, less like the end of the world, ... with astrology. :lol Seriously. A string of disastrous or difficult events might "be" a couple of "house changes" happening close together, an important planet returning to its natal position at the same time as two others fall opposite it, etc. Basically it helps me to believe that it will pass, and to take a "detached" view of it.

Good luck anyway. Hope your sister is ok.
.

yeah, actually he likes to tell stories alot
and he's a pretty cool old guy. He bought me my first gun . shotgun, 12-gauge.
anyways, we heard a number around the campfire those nights.
Mostly just stuff about bigfoot, and accounts of his younger days, like vietnam war stuff, and other things from that era and just the span of time in which he's been alive..
as far as conspiracies; mostly just small stuff, like i guess there was this one guy living in the area where the government wanted to build a dam & the guy didn't want to move and opposed it, & the guy soon after died in a housefire, so my grandpa thinks the government killed him so they could build the dam.
just kinda small-time local conspiracies like that for the most part.

Hmmm, if i believed much in astrology, i suppose i could try that way of thinking
it'd be nice to think it just a transient phase of bad luck caused by a few errant celestial bodies soon to pass.
it'd even just be nice if all this stuff weren't happening at once *sigh* ://

and idk about my sister. She started out as one of the good kids, but i think she's gotten cynical. Parties alot, drinks. I've tried talking about things with her before, but she's always been kinda emotionally distant. & she has anxiety problems. I never would've thought she'd mess with something as serious as cocaine though...

Your grandfather and mine would have gotten along quite well. From him I inherited what little libertarian views I have, and he always b*tched to me about the government.

How is your girlfriend doing, these days?

Did you get a visit from the Jeffersons yet? I'm interested to know when you're all set to take off.

You posted merrily enough in a lot of different threads until Sunday night, and then stopped ... did you suddenly realise that you only had two days left and throw yourself into a frantic fever of packing? :lol How did the move go? ... or hasn't it, yet?

Did you hear from Adrienne at all this last nine days? Do you "know" if she is still at the hospital? How often, according to her, is she getting chemo? Do you know what kind of immune-system-booster drugs she is on? What prognosis has she supposedly been given?

Did you ever get a reply to the letter you wrote to her mom ( a few weeks ago now )? Has she said if you can stay at their house when you visit?

Doc's appointment today and tomorrow you fly, is that it? Or are you thinking you could leave it a bit, she's ok, not at death's door; why not go at Thanksgiving, or Christmas, instead? The "emergency" is over.

If you are still going this week as planned how much did the plane ticket cost in the end? With what was eventually over $670 in donations ( $300 from b9 ) you should be ok for all expenses. How long are you planning on going for?
.

Those are great questions Ouinon. Didn't Seanmw say something about going to Indiana after his doctor's appointment this morning, September 1st or is there yet another obstacle that will be holding him up from going there to see Andrea?

Yes, in the absence of concrete credible news, ( supposedly because of infrequent and brief text messages because of "sleeping so much", and "sore throats", etc ), about Adrienne's condition, about the mom's reply to seanmw's letter, if any, etc combined with the delay in buying a plane ticket, I am closer to believing that the whole thing was a scam ... and not liking it ( because seanmw as muddled and gullible heartsick lover of A is such an appealing character ).

One thing is that I'm finding it difficult to "fit" seanmw's copious and lighthearted/trivial posts on various threads this last couple of weeks with his having a girlfriend who even if she is supposed to be out of immediate danger is supposed to have one of the most dangerous and most difficult to deal with cancers that exist, one with very poor survival rates ( but maybe this sort of reaction is an ASD thing ).

Maybe that's what some people do when powerless to do anything, but if he doesn't get away this week, having already left it a couple of weeks, I will begin to have trouble believing that he has been telling us the ( whole ) truth. It will at least seem rather cavalier of seanmw to keep the larger sums of money, ( and stop posting news ), if he isn't going very soon indeed.

I have been giving seanmw the benefit of the doubt, but not his girlfriend, ( or not as much ); the "illness" story sounded so much like scams I'd heard/read about ... I believed "the WP member" , seanmw, believed that they were being conned/scammed, that they were a victim of somebody else; the set-up looked too messy, too muddled and half-baked for it to be seanmw, ( I thought ) ... and I still think that he may be honest, just very aspie, having trouble getting his act together, ...

I clearly don't have unbounded faith in human nature ( I suspected the gf straight away ) ; I just appear to think that I can tell who is and who isn't a scammer ... :lol and I thought that seanmw, ( because his story sounded like a few others, in which the villain was the girlfriend/ill person ), was innocent. ... But it looks bad, that he has not posted about the plane ticket he should/could have purchased by now with the $670, and his departure date, and whether A's mom has written/phoned him to say that he can stay at their's or not, etc.

Yeah, I wanna know too. I hope she's doing well.

I'm wondering if it doesn't feel really strange to seanmw to actually meet her face to face and he's feeling ambivalent. What if the rapport face to face is not the same as long distance? I think "chemistry" counts for something and I'm not sure you can tell if that's there when you're communicating electronically.

I suggested something similar on the last page but one, that he might be dithering/suddenly reluctant in the face of the big journey to see someone he's never met, to stay with people he doesn't know, etc, but he replied that he was definitely going, that he was fine about it, just had to move first, and go to the doctors etc ...

but it's odd that he hasn't posted at all since very early Sunday morning, and ...

I've just looked at seanmw's myspace page again, the one that he gave me a link to for making my donation, and it is no longer public, you have to be a "friend" to see anything on it other than the last "status" blurb ( which is from 10 August ) and a couple of photos, whereas when I made my donation it was all visible, masses of photos, bio, lists, etc.

Of course he may simply have felt that having given the address out to so many people for PayPal donations it wasn't private enough anymore ...

Has anyone heard from him recently, by pm, since Sunday for example? ... ( he last logged on to the myspace page today, 1 September )

Maybe he's in the middle of moving.

I just edited my last post ( while you were posting ) to add that " he last logged on to his myspace page today, 1 September". So not that busy, nor unable to get online either ...
