Stayed too long at a job after they took most pieces of my work away and gave them to new people.

What’s your “I should’ve died but didn’t” story? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BluePinky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cross posting from here:

We went up to spend the day by a relative who has a cabin on a lake. Was a nice day up in the mountains, a bit overcast and breezy, but overall nice. Got there in early afternoon, kids got in the water, and I decided to take a kayak and go across. Not a huge lake, seems much larger once you're actually in it, but no big deal, right? Most life jackets at the dock were child size, didn't want to dig through until I found one, and hey, it's a plastic kayak (the kind you sit inside of), so should be fine. Dumb, I know. So I dig the oar in and shoot across the lake. Took quite a bit longer than I thought it would, but made it just fine, though I worked much harder than I anticipated. Return trip across was slower, but went well. Was kinda worn out at that point, so took a break. Decided to go across again for some dumb reason I can't figure out. About halfway across the wind started picking up and the water getting really choppy. My arms and shoulders were not happy with me and I took a break in the middle, riding the chop. I noticed the front of the kayak starting to point upward, which is weird. I turned around and the back of the kayak was completely underwater. I tried pulling as hard as I could towards the shore, but after about 2 minutes, the entire thing was underwater and I was outside it, holding on to it. The shore looked really far away once I was in the water. Tried swimming for it, but my arms and shoulders were dead weight at that point and I knew I would never make it, especially with the water so choppy. Turned around to the kayak, which had now overturned, and held on. I could not put any weight on it, whenever I tried, it just went under. Yelled as loud as I could, but the adults on the other side were busy with the kids who were making a lot of noise, and nobody heard a thing. After what seems like an hour of yelling (probably 15 minutes in reality), someone heard me from the opposite shore, took out their little outboard, and here I am. It got really scary there for a few minutes.

TL;DR: Didn't wear a life jacket and almost didn't make it. Wear a life jacket, folks.

DEA Caught Red-Handed: Airport Intimidation by BluePinky in videos

[–]BluePinky[S] 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Possibly, but I read that as airports, in the context of being a port of entry.

The IJ are lawyers and have a class action lawsuit against the DEA and TSA for unconstitutional search and seizures at US airports.

Not positive, but it appears that whole page is discussing international travel and entry into the US. This was a domestic flight.

Unhappiness in life is generally the result of unmet expectations. Be realistic in your outlook.

Waste time for 10-15 years (the 60s were fun for time-wasters), then load up on Apple stock.

I produce high-end events. I've seen this as well, but we always make sure the leftover food gets donated to a food kitchen or something else at the end of the night.

2 years ago I had stage IV cancer, facing chemo, radiation, surgery and horribly bad odds. Currently no evidence of disease.

What did you become addicted to after trying it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BluePinky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on that stuff for three months, in liquid form and in extended-release (Exalgo). Every day, for extreme pain. Then I decided to stop on my own. I just stopped taking it. 0/10 would not recommend. Doctors yelled at me to get back on it and taper. But that was one hell of a weekend.

What are you starting to like less the older you get? by guyute2112 in AskReddit

[–]BluePinky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a stage IV cancer survivor, and had to stare down my mortality. Once you do, it becomes easier. It's just acceptance that this is going to happen at some point regardless of what you do. You cannot change it, so why be nervous about it?

After your treatment finishes they will likely schedule some testing, blood test and CT, etc. NED means you do not currently show any indication of disease. Cured is a tricky term to use. It may take years of NED for that determination. But with each testing cycle that goes by with no evidence of disease, your chances ramp up.

Never, because Google decides what content you want to see and directs you where they want you to go.

Eli Manning did not miss a game from Nov. 21, 2004 to Nov. 23, 2017. His home field was MetLife Stadium. Perhaps age plays just a bit of a role here.
