Thanks. He had a feeling he would never make forty, he was right.
My uncle died of a heart attack two years ago. He was 38. It killed my mom and aunt because he was the baby of the family
if it’s alright, may I ask what happened? 39 is just too young
They called it Sudden Cardiac Death syndrome, but it was V-Fib - a n electrical issue with his heart. He got out of rhythm basically. Atrial fib is okay, ventricular fib kills you unless there is an intervention - CPR or an AED.
About two years before he passed, my dad had a similar event in a bar and the resuscitated him, then implanted a defibrillator. He’s 82, lol.
It’s a genetic thing and my brother was an ER doctor. He’d had dizzy spells, really should have known.
C’es la vie.
My son is my brother reincarnated.

That’s amazing. Although I can’t imagine the stress was good for his heart. I’m sure his legacy live on in the people he saved
He had a kick ass memorial, that’s for sure.
Funny you mention it. He rode a scooter, a Razor when they were new, between the ER and Radiology. When he passed, they created a glass trophy case with his coat, a bow tie, and his scooter.
If you ever trip and fall at Disney, odds are you will see that glass case.
People came out of the woodwork and told stories about him. The Phillipina maid that he got rehired, the black clerk that he gave airline tickets to to see her son before he died, on and on, things I never heard or knew.
Nuff of dat shit.

I’d say the answer to your question of “any value” is a definite yes.

I’ve heard the same. I’d like to visit during winter someday.
I’ll just need to make sure I never enter the ocean, check the toilet, check my shoes and all pieces of clothing before I wear them, be sure I don’t walk under any trees, and be vigilant while walking on some outdoor trail.
I hope I didn’t miss anything!

If you mean your winter then you also need to pack one of these if you want to go in the sun

Oh no. I’d probably burst into flames if I went to Australia during their summer.
My great ambition in life is to be able to get myself to the point where I can live here during the U.S. winter and go live in Australia during Australia winter.
Have you considered New Zealand instead? My neighbor says there are no stinging, biting terrifying critters there.

New Zealand has very few terrestrial predators full stop, it’s very weird

It makes up for that by being full of New Zealanders

And so is my neighbor. Which makes @MarkKO’s point all the more valid.

I think the biggest hurdle some beginners face is their own ego.

As a beginner I can attest to this. It’s really hard to stay the course, even when making progress. In a world filled with instant gratification the hardest thing can be accepting the fact that your goals are just going to take time. Sucks for sure

One of the guys at work bought some extremely hot chilli corn chips to work today.
A few guys and girls tried one and the reactions ranged from going a little red in the face to rushing to the toilet to vomit. I tried one chip and fk me was it hot. I like chilli but these chips are seriously hot. My tongue felt like it was on fire for about 5 mins !!
