Post A Picture of Your Last Purchase

I'm a Jehovah's Witness and I was out knocking on doors yesterday morning. I was with a mate and his 11-year-old lad. We were calling on an old man who lived in the back ass of nowhere on top of a boggy mountain. He was clearly malnourished. He had a large protrusion on his face that could have been a dormant tumor. He had no teeth. His house was dark, damp, and smelly. He has no car, no job, no pets, no telephone, no Internet. He gets the bus to the local village once or twice a week to buy his groceries. He then goes home. Church and religion to him is about all he has. Maybe that's why he was willing to hear what we had to say and welcome us into his home—normally people close the door on us. Folks like that are in every corner of Ireland. Some were married and had kids that don't bother with them any more or like this man some were never married.

It really does break your heart.

He let you in to remind himself why he lives like he does, not many knocking on his door :D

So yeah, don't do anything stupid and hope that you win the health lottery and you may still care when you get older.

I'm lucky that my family are generally very healthy and have never suffered from any type of illness other than horrific deaths XD

Seriously once anyone in my family gets to around 80 something horrible happens.

My German grandfather was one of the people in charge of all power stations in Berlin up until he retired at age 65, Then come 80 he was exposed to a deathly amount of radiation when he was touring an old power plant in Germany and an intern broke something, My Irish grandfather was asleep and some idiots who didn't like the Irish put a firework through his letterbox so burned to death but first choked from smoke inhalation, My Irish grandmother was given the wrong injection, Again by an intern but this time one who couldn't read English or properly understand English, My Irish great grandfather was stabbed through the neck by a dock worker because he stopped him from raping a woman, My Irish great grand mother was shot by the group called the black and tans for refusing to speak English and the horrific list goes on and no and on and on, Seriously it's like something from a Stephen King book ^_^

Well I ran into the road when I was 7. Shattered left themur, broken right leg (lower) broken right arm and fractured skull. I was in hospital for three months in traction (look that up) and then I had to basically learn to walk again and had months of physio therapy.

My left leg is nearly 1cm longer than my right and I am covered from head to foot in scars.

I'm usually OK until it gets cold and wet. I tell you dude, it's like I've been hit by that car over and over again.

I really do spring to life in the summer though, really itching to get out there on my bike with my 46' waist :eek:

The Black and Tans were quite a malicious group.
 
Yeah they were basically government sanctioned murderers, They "cleansed" the whole village my great grandmother was in and called it a service to the crown.

Yeah, a lot of Irish died by them. They used far more advanced weaponry and military equipment against what were essentially farmer rebels.
 
Yep, Quite sick that because people wanted freedom from what is essentially a foreign country, They were murdered.

The funny thing is, I was bullied as an English kid growing up in a rural Irish school because of the 1916 Rising when the Black and Tans were sent over to quell the rebellion. While it was childish patriotism (they watched Michael Collins and got all amped up) they still held it against me in their own way that I was English.

I grew up in England as a half Irish half German blonde kid with a funny accent, I got beaten, Stabbed and hospitalised for not being English so at least all you got was a little bit of harmless teasing ^_^

I wouldn't call it harmless, but it certainly wasn't being stabbed. :p
 
That's certainly something to tell the grand kids.

"Well, little Jimmy, let me tell you about the time I got stabbed by a Parker. No, no, his name was David, the pen he stabbed me with was a Parker."
