Last night, my mom collapsed around 5. She was awake, but extremely confused and in pain. She was sent to the ER in an ambulance. I got to the ER after the rest of my family around 6:45-7pm and was walked back into a room where the ER physician was talking with my family. He gave us a brief rundown on what had happened. On the way to the hospital my mom was sedated with medication, her heart rate dropped and blood pressure was down, but had stabilized a bit. She placed on a ventilator.

The physician explained she needed a CAT scan next. The doctor returned about an hour later and told us the cat scan revealed a ruptured aneurysm in her stomach area. The physician asked us about our/her preference for resuscitation efforts. He further explained to us there were two options, hospice or emergency surgery but had to confirm with surgeon who was on call. We waited for the surgeon to come into the hospital to discuss, but before he arrived, the physician came back into the room. During that time he left and came back was only about 5 minutes. My mother’s heart beat dropped significantly and he recommended removing the tube and switching to hospice. We agreed.

We walked back to see her one last time. The on-call surgeon arrived to her room not long after we did. He had reviewed the CAT scan information and told us that the aneurysm spread up to her chest and that she would have not survived that surgery. Eventually, we pulled the ventilator. She took maybe 5 breaths and passed away.

My mom was a fierce Flyers and hockey fan. When my group of friends started playing organized roller hockey, we did not have a coach. So, she read a few books and became our coach. She was a hard ass, and loved the rough stuff. One of her favorite books to read about hockey was The Code, which is a book about the unwritten rules of hockey fights.

One point, she coached my older brother’s team in the final. She told me to come and suit up because they might need me. I thought I’d get a few shifts here and there, but she stapled my ass to the bench from puck drop to the final whistle! Benched by my own mother, I wonder how many people can say that!

When we graduated from roller to ice hockey, my mom volunteered to take photos from the penalty box for our high school teams. One night, she was taking photos for my brother’s game when she caught a stick in the mouth, causing her to bleed profusely and lose a few teeth. The stick was my brother’s. Instead of checking on our mom, my brother skated off and continued playing like nothing happened. I remember my mom saying she would have been furious at my brother if he stopped to check on her. She was an awesome lady, and I will miss her.
Condolences for your loss, Vlad

May your Moms memories provide you with guiding lights until you two meet again

Vlad I am sorry for your loss. As I said earlier the stories is what keeps them with us. Another thing is there will be signs you might see or miss that they are still there. Be it a favorite flower, animal or some such sign. Every year I see the first daffodils bloom I stop and say "Hi Mom" if I see just a buck and doe, I know it's Dad and Mom stopping by to say hi with a smile if I'm having a rough go.

only song i can never listen to anymore..i can't get past like 10 seconds lol too much memory of my mom and i am sure she just never knew this song existed...but this one i just can't do


This song is a rough one but also so uplifting to me.

Alright, So I do I.T. I've taken apart tons of laptops, and pc's in the past and have replaced many components. I've been having issues with my Dell XPS 13 9300 (Ultrabook) after trying to clean out the keyboard with deduster. So i was going to replace the keyboard...simple enough I thought.

I took apart the laptop without looking at a manual and began to disassemble and try to see how I could replace the keyboard. Couldn't figure it out. So, I looked for a youtube video on it... This is freaking ridiculous.

Sounds crazy, not really trustworthy but interesting if any of it is true.

Police/FBI confirmed it was sent from the bomber.

In other signal messages from him he indicates that the drones are ours or chinas and use gravitic propulsion, something that doesn't exist but in theory. Says it is at Groom Lake (Area 51). Would line up with Bob Lazar's story and also the transmedium uap reports.

Please re-post in the UFO thread with all the other lunatics, thanks
