If you are paying $20 for a haircut, I imagine people assume you did it yourself anyway.

and after 3 days, he is risen!

Pocket change cost me my first and only black girlfriend.   It was in the middle of a roaring poker boom and I was flush in ways most men don't even bother dreaming of. Money, it was like dirt to me

Wow. Sorry about all that stuff that went down, Tilt. It is rather surprising that you didn't have time to post. I would have posted WAY more if I was just lying in a hospital bed. Anyway; glad you're not dead. #TeamTilt #BeatCancer

 

 

 

 

I'm already disappointed in the ending.

 

This has got to be top 20 for greatest posts in the entire thread. It's such a shame there isn't anyone left to see it.

If I die, I wanna be a sick thread death pool winner and that's all I'm gonna say about that.

 

It sounds like tilt was near death for awhile there, so not prime posting time. Plus he has family and stuff. Me? If I was in the hospital you guys would be my only lifeline to the outside world, so I'd be posting non stop and telling Ronny I'm not gonna ask the hot nurse for a sponge bath.

tilt here's some highlights of us on your disappearance.

 

This was great

 

So you've been laying around in bed since mid-June and couldn't post a single "I'm dying-ish" post?

 

Dead to me.

 

I was so sick/out of it that I don't even remember about half of my hospital stay. Even when I started feeling better my eyes were still not working correctly so I didn't watch tv and couldn't read, much less type, on a tablet/computer.

 

I, for one, am glad you're alive tilty.

 

We were up your way today, went to Clementine Lake, had never been there before. It's a pretty neat place.

 

Thanks. LOVE Clementine. Did you go to the lower lake, by the Dam, or the upper lake? In high school and just after my buddies and I all had 4 wheel drives and you could go up to upper lake and cross the river. There were actually 11 different crossings if you kept going up river. Then they put in these huge boulders to stop access to the river.

 

Like, go somewhere beside Chipotle?

 

Just went to Chipotle for the first time since getting out of the hospital this past Friday. So freaking good.

Thought I quoted your "where's tilt" quotes too Napa. Most of them kinda made me wish I hadn't come back.

 

 

As sort of a post script to my hospital stay, My company put my on LOA since there was no way of knowing when/if I'd be returning to work. Shortly after getting out of the hospital they had hired my replacement, picked up my car and had me send back my Ipad and Iphone. I am now officially an ex-employee of theirs. Thankfully CA disability pays pretty strong and I actually get more money now than my net paycheck was since disability isn't taxed and I'm not paying for health insurance. Have MediCal for insurance now and since they don't count disability as income its 100% coverage at zero cost to me.

That's good news?

I'd be $50 that Napa read you lost 50lbs and was kinda jealous of you.

 

Glad you're not dead. Keep getting better

 

 

My physicals always come back strong, mines the high blood pressure. So maybe I'm next. 18 beers on Sunday don't help

I feel like it's illegal that they fired you.

 

It was kind of shady for sure. Technically my employment wasn't terminated until after my leave time had expired but they had already replaced me. Truth is it doesn't matter. I have no idea when I'll be able to go back to work or if I'd be able to do that job when I did. My eyes still are not quite 100%, though they continue to improve, so I'm not comfortable driving yet. They did pay me out every dime they owed me in salary, bonus, PTO time etc... and paid for my health insurance while I was on leave.

 

Sounds like somebody is on the government teet and enjoying it

 

#taker

 

I paid into it for enough years without getting anything back so, yeah, I'm ok with it. But also appreciative because otherwise I'd have zero income.

Welcome to socialism! Enjoy your stay.

 

 

Seriously though, keep fighting man. Glad you're doing well.

Lower lake. We we're on a boat. Folsom is a puddle, so we thought we'd give it a whirl. It's a fun little lake, not sure what it would be like in the heart of the summer even though they limit access.

That sucks man. Definitely talk to a lawyer. You might get a nice severance. I hope you keep healing well and are able to exploit the poor in new and better ways in no time. I'll be thinking about you.

I don't know enough to know for sure but sounds like some potential FMLA violations. Have you considered talking to an employment lawyer?

 

Because they are a small company FMLA does not apply. The company must employ at least 50 people (which it doesn't quite) AND it must employ at least 50 employees within 75 miles of (in this case) my work place.

It is a fun lake. There are/were a couple of boat in camping areas as you go up the lake a ways. It's primitive, just a sandbar basically, but theres lots of trees for shade and not many people if you avoid holidays. That said, it's been years since I've been there so things may have changed.

Nope, hasn't changed. That is what it is like.

 

Keep fighting man, hate the C talk.

Hey, Tilty, not sure of the timelines but in case you didn't know, I got myself a pupper. He's an almost 1.5 year old golden retriever. Big ole dumb dog but what he lacks in smarts (and lack of owner training) he makes up in looks. Get people stopping us all the time on walks to say how pretty and beautiful he is. If I think they can take a joke I'll say "no, he's handsome" but otherwise I just smile and say thank you, as if I had anything to do with how he looks or even picking him out. He was free to me for pete's sake.

So anyway, that was really the readers digest version believe it or not but lets you all in on my sudden disappearance.

Welcome back, Tilt. Glad you're not dead.
