f***in fireworks.

Everybody's dog is probably shitting themselves.

I also feel for all those vets who served in wartime, who now have their lovely PTSD triggered. Especially those now elderly men who were drafted into Vietnam and really had no choice.

f*** it, I can't find the Doggo pic on my computer. It must only be on my phone. That DD one has been on my computer since 2017 or 2018 lol.

Or maybe one of the current active posters who, one is named after a busted Devils forward prospect!

I know you're not talking about this forum. It just reminded me of certain characters of this forum.

Happy new year to you, by the way. Where it's definitely already 2024!

At least different people can find soul mates on the other side of the planet. Its so sad they dont know each other =-D
Yeah, we are celebrating with my wife and playing in horror movie game Alan Wake 2. This is our way to celebrate.

My brother hate fireworks. His dogs are so scarry and cant leave their dog house.

I wish there would be less people with ptsd next year. It doesnt look like it will be less.

one more for now....

such an incredible song... everything about it....

 

[Bleedred]

one more... (for now)

Probably not a popular opinion, but I kind of like the US version of this album better than the original/UK version of it.

Maybe because the first version of it I ever got ahold of was the US version and not the UK version, which was probably pretty hard to come by in the US 30+ years ago.

But I'd make tweaks and swap some of the original/UK version songs over onto the US one and make my own with my favorite songs.

I think I'd want Deny and Cheat on my ideal version from the original. I also want the original White Riot on my ideal version and not the single version which was what they put on the US version of the album.

It's gotta have Complete Control. That's a top-2 song from the band for me.

It's gotta have White Man in Hammersmith Palais. I think it's also gotta have Jail Guiter Doors.

Deny and Cheat can replace Clash City Rockers and I Fought the Law.

Original White Riot instead of the single version and that's my preference and perfect version of the Clash self titled.

Some of those songs that made it onto the US version that weren't on the UK version were yet to be recorded. Complete Control (which references Remote Control), Clash City Rockers, White Riot single version weren't recorded until later 77 and 78.

I'm pretty sure I Fought the Law was 1979. I think that was recorded specifically for the US release of the album and even after Give 'Em Enough Rope was released. It's not a bad song/cover, but I don't need it on that album.

Somehow I ended up with both when I bought a Japanese version(I think, all in storage right now) of one of them (can’t remember which one) just as a collector’s and remember being confused on the song list. Years later looked it up on the inter webs and figure out what was up.

Drug addict friends who literally nod out and fall asleep multiple times while on the phone with you and then don't respond back to your text messages really deserve the gift of missing you for a while.

I need to make use of the blocked contact list.......

Just do your best to remember they are ill not evil. The best thing you can do for them is just urge them to get some help.

I don't believe they're evil, but I also don't believe that's an excuse to blow me off and ignore my messages.

It's hard to have a friendship with someone like this and when I say friendship, be in constant communication with them or have any expectations of them. At least this person is over a thousand miles away and I don't actually have to see them.

She'll never get help. Just the methadone clinic every morning (I think she's still going) and still doing however many bags of her shit every day anyway.

I see the headstone on her grave quite often in my nightmares and daydream nightmares.

You have no obligation to torment yourself or indulge her. Just do the best you can and know you did what you could .

Follow up

Now I'm getting worried.

I decided not to block her and reached out again today. Haven't heard back from her. Even had one of our mutual friends who actually uses Fakebook stalk her and see when she was last on messenger. She hasn't been on since last night.....

I'm not really thinking the worst. Hoping maybe she just isn't feeling good or something.

But like I said, I do see her headstone in my nightmares all the time.

It’s less than a day? Give it more than that before you send the police for a wellness check.

I'm not joking, may be Bleedred should work in some social structures. Bleed, its look like you have a skill to talk with problematic people and you have some empathy for them. May be it will help you to normalize your relationships with them on the more professional basis.

She lives with her mom, boyfriend and 12 year old daughter. Her 18 year old daughter may also still be there if she hasn’t returned to college after winter break.

So I would think someone else would know something and find her long before I needed to do that.

I did check one of the websites that lets you know if someone is in jail. Don’t see her on there. It would be her first time in jail.

I’ll wait a few days before I call her mom and do a welfare check with her.

I’m hoping she’s just sick or something.

 

[Bleedred]

I cut her off

I'm really tore up over this

I blocked her and told her off (no curses or anything mean) in my last text to her. I didn't burn any bridges. It's nothing that's irreparable. But this needs to be the end of it for now.

None of my other good friends go days without talking to me if I try to get ahold of them. None of my other good friends are heroin addicts either.

I couldn't sleep over this last night. It won't be easy to sleep tonight either.

If she wants to get ahold of me bad enough then she can try and circumvent the block. There's ways around it,
