@Stroggy: Start playing an MMORPG you'll forget about everything...

Which one? I'm too cheap to pay for World of Warcraft and I've heard some bad things of Guild Wars. And even if I did buy one Is till have to install a new drive as the one I've got now is broken (some low-quality EA-disc exploded inside the drive)

Anarchy online?
The main game is free by far ´till 2007 or so, (fc/s clever & useful proven i believe way of advertising) - & not that you´ll forget everything or even near, but your best bet to go if so -

edit, (drive issues * -)

[DeathDude]

Can't go wrong with Final Fantasy XI great MMORPG.

[Tulac]

Well installing a new drive  will also eat some of your time, so that'll help you keep your mind of problems...

While I must say Ff11 is an awesome MMORPG (its got Moogles, what more do ya want!?) I have to admit that leveling takes foreverrrrrrrrr (then again I was a thief, which takes forever to level) and it does get rather borring, on the other hand its got Moogle/taru (so cute......must....hug.....taru!!!) and the economy is superb, as is Tetra master!!!

Try Flyff, its free, and it'l probly be uploaded on Ar sooooon, once I transfer the reivew o_0

Well I never played FF XI but dvoe's got a copy that he had been playing for a long while think he was at level 69 or something last time I checked. But looks like a really good game if I had a better computer and more cash to burn I'd so play it.

well i posted a couple of months ago that my grandma fell into a coma. she died 20 mins ago. this might sound bad to some but im actually happy... there was no way she was going to come out of it and if she was aware then her suffering is over. (edit: happy is the wrong word... but a great weight has been lifted from my shoulders)

its my mother im worried about. she never was able to settle things straigt with her and shes going to have a hard time for awhile now

edit: i also got the news from the hospital so i had to deliver the bad news to my mother... i didnt really know what to do so i pretty much just flat out said it.

[Dvoe]

My condolences Daka. Best wishes to you and your family.

[PrejudiceSucks]

That's pretty tragic... tough break, mate.

[Flop]

Sorry to hear that Daka. It's always hard to lose a family member. I don't really know what else to say...

[A. J. Raffles]

I'm sorry to hear she died, Daka. This may not sound particularly helpful, but it's probably better that she died now instead of staying in a coma for years to come. The dreadful thing about a coma is that it's somewhere between life and death. This way at least it's final and you can sort of mentally say goodbye to her.

[DakaSha]

thanks everybody.

@raffles
yeah thats what i meant. nobody could tell us whether she was aware of her state. so it basicaly comes down to her either being in a vegative state... which means shes already died but her body is functioning. or thats she is aware which is a form of hell. so yes im glad it happend now.

i was very close to her as a child but we grew apart (which was my doing) but a week before she fell into the coma i (coincedently) started talking to her and visiting with her and made sure she knew how much i loved her and everything so im taking this very well to be honest.

like i said it was the other way around for my poor mother... they just fought in the end so of course my mother feels very guilty. shes strong though and shell get over it but it will be a hard time. (apart from this her father died 6 months ago and her cat that she loved disapeared... very hard year all around for her)

(some of you might see posting this as too private a thing to post in a forum and disrespectful... if thats the case sorry but i just dont feel that way)

[taikara]

It's not disrespectful at all, Daka.

I'm sorry for your loss, though I'm glad that you at least feel relieved, and have some closure. I'm sure that your mother will get over it as time goes on. My grandmother died when I was in college, and we weren't on the best of terms... the guilt was pretty awful, but I eventually came to terms with the fact that it wasn't exactly (or at least entirely - it takes two to have a disagreement) my fault we were on bad terms, and that there was nothing I could do to change the way things happened. Your mother will probably realize the same after she's had some time.

I actually commend you for having the strength to tell us all about this - it's strangely harder to turn to others than it is to keep it to yourself.

Take care of yourself and your family, and I'll be hoping for the best for you and your mother.

[Tulac]

My condolences...

[BeefontheBone]

My condolences, Daka. My grandmother passed away in the summer after a long battle with cancer - we knew it was only a matter of time. I felt surprisingly numb about the whole thing right up to the point where we walked into the chapel for the funeral and it all hit me at once - I'm not saying that'll necessarily happen with you (grief is an incredibly personal thing) but I felt a lot better afterwards. My heart goes out to you and especially your mum.

@Tai: I found precisely that - it was very difficult to tell anyone else about it.
