That´s what I was thinking too. Two other forums I used to visit are dying too, the difference being that this one has the potential to help me deal with things better and I actually talk about interesting things with people. Like, nice people.

What the hell?

I sure hope he'll reconsider his decision... I hate to admit it (for obvious reasons) but I dont think this place will ever be the same without him... . Ive gotten somewhat accustomed to the poor old sod therefore would be lying if I said my heart didnt feel heavily troubled....

...I can only wish you the very best and hope you will reconsider...

Not been on here for long but it's obvious petrossa is a good guy to have around here, shame.

The 'bits' that made you up return to the earth, and get made into other 'things', likely with no conscious.

The same thing that happened before you were conceived. Nothing. No past, present or future. nothing. your brain shuts off, your heart shuts off and your nothing, no conscious, no awareness, no nothing. Akin to sleeping. You dont know your sleeping WHILE your sleeping, its akin to nothingness. the only difference is you dont dream, and you never wake up.

Does anyone know any good TV series/shows? I just finished The Big Bang Theory and find it oddly upsetting. I tried Monk because I know I love the guy and his neurosis but I cannot sit through an episode that long (40 to 60 minutes maybe). Not the simpsons, family guy or american dad. They all annoy the hell out of me.

The Ricky Gervais Show.

My best friend loves it and tried to make me watch it, was too lengthy for me.

I usually have a cigarette/tea break half-way through.
