Just a note to say good-bye * 11
    #28305807 - 05/04/23 01:06 AM (8 months, 21 days ago)

I am one of the oldest members of this board though I have not posted in a long time. My original username was 'Swami'.

I have seen many people from these boards pass on. The latest was my good friend JSB (JokeShopBeard). He was so young and full of life with big dreams. So very sad. Now my time is fast approaching.


In addition to JSB, I lost my dad then my mom and then my aunt - each a month after the other. I was a caregiver for mom for the last year. In the middle of all this I got a second hip replacement and had to rehab during mom's final days. She kept falling and I was too weak to lift her. I was emotionally exhausted as my parents live thousands of miles away from each other so to say I was stretched thin was an understatement. Then the joys of handling two estates and funeral arrangements and lawyers and such.

I finally got most of the physical stuff behind me but went through a total emotional break-down along the way.

My retirement was supposed to be a time of peace and rest, but my challenges were far from over. I was busy making short and long-term plans when I went for my annual exam. My PSA was up to 23. A biopsy revealed that I had a score of Gleason 10 and further scans revealed stage IV metastatic cancer!

I know we all get there eventually, even so it is a bitter pill. I may have a few years left. Currently, I feel fine, but that is an illusion.

Anyway, wanted to say farewell to any remaining friends here. There has been a lot of comradery, fun banter, mock fights, laughs, and tears with many of you.

Stay well, Shroomers! :heart:

i never got the chance to meet you on here, but this was the first thing i saw when i logged on so i just wanted to say hi

im sorry to hear all that, it sounds like things have been pretty exhausting for awhile now. that’s really tough. there’s always so much to take care of at every stage & i imagine it all has to be pretty tiresome. i hope you at least get to rest a little bit now. good luck on the journey

peace friend

You may not remember me and I rarely post here anymore, but we had a lot of interactions over the years. Particularly during the era of Icelander, Veritas, Markos, et al. I appreciated your contributions here, especially the one liners. I'm sorry to hear this news and hope the remainder of your time on this plane will be well spent, and above all full of peace and pain free.

I've had quite a few friends, family members, and acquaintances pass away or diagnosed with terminal cancer recently. It makes me appreciate how illusory life is. Youth is gone in a moment and all of it is gone the next. I feel this plane, the bardo of life, is one of many, a step on a longer journey. And good things are waiting on the other side of the darkness, when this flame is extinguished.

Anyway, bad philosophizing aside, I wish you well. I've appreciated your contributions in the time you were an active member of this little community. Take care of yourself!

and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

You have me on ignore but I still want to write it is an ambivalent read, OC. I do not know what is going on. In one way I want to meet you before you pass away or something like this. :shrug:

I guess it is me and RGVs passing the tourch on.

One or two years is plenty of time to get a few jokes in,
I prescribe: keeping the OC/SWAMI accounts active until flat lining.

that and psychedelic therapy.

I'm taking my creaky hips with me, well that's the plan so far.

Sorry for the bad news. I'm glad you don't feel like you have cancer :smile:

I hope you have some good years ahead of you. If you have your affairs in order, maybe you will start posting more often. I for one have missed your participation here.

*finally returns to post, rather than lurk and read, on this site*

I remember you as “Swami” from what feels like another life. Aka years ago I was only searching for information prior to experiencing mushrooms, never joining the community. Even over the last 12 months I’ve only posted a few score. Terrible, terrible, all in relation to my own health issues.

Orgone/Swami, I can only imagine your present emotional and psychological state. the stress and hell of circumstance. The very real time frame to your life. It’s terrible. Worse than that. But I hope you take stock knowing that you held yourself above rising waters, did your best for others despite the strain, you shouldered weight when many others would shuck it and hold steadfast in their selfishness.  I hope you remember that you are a good soul, because you are—even if we don’t know one another.


Don’t give up. Hold onto the moments. Remember how special and ephemeral and nonsensical and enlightening this ride is.

Maybe one day we’ll actually meet in different skins, and dance along the minds eye of some freaked out neo human dosed to the gills.

The best and kindest of wishes to you.

Well at least you are writing your goodbyes and not just falling into the past without a final wave.
I really appreciate the effort.
Look if you feel like saying goodbye a few more times, I wouldn't mind a bit.
every goodbye counts as a hello in my book.

Hello OrgoneConclusion.

You and I interacted many years ago when Icelander was still with us, typically when the subject was about god.

So as much as we aren't friends ( not enemy ether  :thumbup: ), I just want to wish you all the best for the future and that despite the bad news you've shared, my hope is that you will still find joy , peace and happiness until the very end.

:leocheers:

To say you are and will be missed is an understatement.
I dont even check psp any longer bc of the absence of you, ND further on back... ice.

You were always, imo, a great and perfect counter balance to him, here. A much needed, silly, brain-teasing, and almost lofty appeal against the heavy like concrete personality and truth he carried.

I am extremely pleased not in the news/diagnosis, but simply that you are not in a bunch of physical pain, due to it, at this time.

I know it is bitter, however like I could've imagined, it seems you are still taking your pill with grace.

That is humbling after all, and I wish you the best path to the end possible.

I'm sorry at all the life you've lost recently, and that it streamlines into your own kabal.

But now that much is behind you it seems, I hope that you will take the time, if you have the ability to do so to do, WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU COULD WANT, what is left for yourself to need or want to do.

Farewell comrade.

It's certainly tough to say, but much preferable to be able to see one another off with forethought, rather to be taken in an unexpected instant, leaving a lurch to be stomached ND buried with pain attached.

Thank you orgone, may you feel the same comfort and commitment you gave to others you loved in life, as your train pulls into its final destination

Cheers

BrendanFlock, Markos passed away during the pandemic. He had an extremely metastatic (if that's the correct jargon) cancer that was diagnosed too late. He died peacefully and I think pain free. His presence lives on!
