![]() Having checked that my emergency supply of Caol Ila and Port Ellen is safe, I can shakily affirm I'm not afraid of that vegetable clergy or his alligator friend. Not a dram |

Hello! Olivia, you're okay, right? | |
![]() |
![]() I recall a later Other The Edge episode where people were calling in to compare methods of suicide, etc. It was co-hosted by longtime OTE caller Suicide Man. |

northguineahills:
I've had too many friends leave, a best friend took his life two years ago when I was in a nadir. Seeing how me and my friends reacted to it, shook me out of my depression, and led me to endure. I'm happy now... |
![]() |
![]() I'm sorry, NGH. Suicide leaves a lot of grief it its wake. |
![]() |
![]() That sounded really banal. I mean if a person committing suicide knew how much grief their passing meant, how much they were loved, maybe they would find a way to cope and recover. |
![]() |
![]() she left an envelope in her car, in the bridge parking lot, "dear officer," it read. inside was a note with a $20. 'have a drink on me, you'll need it." |
![]() |
Thu. 8/2/18 1:05pm
crateslinger:
that was unexpected |
![]() |
![]() @Rich: That thinking got me close to the edge once. How much I would hurt them, how much I meant to them, how all about it was about them, and I only existed to be selfish and worthless except in how I made them feel good. From people who hadn't talked to me in years |
![]() |
![]() very moving, the bridge message teen |
![]() |
![]() This radio show made me think and feel. |

The most interesting thing I heard in that documentary was that most suicides are impulsive. Like five minutes later. I've been planning three or four different scenarios for decades. Maybe I need to start over. |

@crateslinger: I had everything planned out and was going to make sure there was no mess for anyone to clean up and no one to inadvertently find me except professionals. Maybe I spent to long planning. |

![]() @ngh, we are glad you are here. just sayin. |
![]() |
![]() @ngh: too much planning was good planning in this case. Been there, not done that either. It can't get worse from there, so everything is a bonus |
Thu. 8/2/18 1:49pm

ngh, anyone as thoughtful as you needs to keep living. | |

@ngh - planning/fantasizing is a good way to keep yourself busy and work on them clever-guy muscles, like crossword puzzles, learning morse code, or practicing cartography. |

Love that Gong Jam. Oh, now we're on to Gog. Is there a band called Go? Og? | |
![]() |
![]() @Michael: I did, too! Made me regret not opting for that swag. |
![]() |
![]() There is no good way to do it. No matter how desperate the mind is to be done with life, the body is generally too strong. The chances of making things worse are too high. This is how I've always thought about it anyway. It's bad enough. |
![]() |
![]() Golly, I've been listening at work and loving this show, but I've missed all the suicide talk. My ex tried unsuccessfully a few times, had a brother in law that was successful at it, and all signs point to him planning on taking my sister and their son with him too. Also had other family members attempt it. I'm not going to pass judgment except on the BIL, but it's hell for the ones left behind. IMO it's a big fuck you to everyone else. |
![]() |
![]() @Michael 98145: Disappointing though, she's not close to a radio face. Now I'm afraid she'll move to TV or Youtube or something |

![]() what fred said, again |
![]() |
![]() I've never been able to think about it without thinking about that guy that only managed to blow his entire face off with the shotgun. it can get worse. |
![]() |
![]() @Michael 98145: Now I know for a fact that "what fred said" means "fred is full of shit", which is a decent default setting. It'll get you right more than wrong, with this fred at least |

@HilaryPrudy: Do you mean “The Bridge” documentary on the Golden Gate bridge that was released in 2006? That film was just exploitative. Just an art-house snuff film. I highly recommend it to nobody. en.wikipedia.org... |

Clergy-supply of Laphroaig is down to a final sacrament. We make eyes at each other across the kitchen; it's a standoff now several days old. We both refuse to budge. This will not end well. |

Hey! I don’t listen to freeform radio just to hear a DJ… Wait… Yeah… Cool! |

![]() It's wonderful. |

![]() @RTD: I know that feeling. No time for feelings though. Drink and resupply. Heartless, yes, but there's a time for heartlessness |

On a train (after navigating the tube) and tamping I missed E2-E4 - this however, is definitely making up for it! (Not sure the suit sitting next to me approves mind) | |
