Will I be missed?

[Primemuscle]

I was just thinking....not to be morbid, but I am old compared to most folks on Getbig. I  think some folks here view me as  if I am something like a Pedo playing in the kiddies sandbox (flame on).

What I wondered was, do I make a difference? Do I bring something valuable to the Getbig  forums? If I died tomorrow, would any of you give a rip? Of course, you probably would never know because I would simply disappear from these forums. Clearly, I have no claim to fame like, say, Nasser or some others who have passed and are either remembered or ridiculed here.

Before you all jump on this like flies on shit, keep in mind everyone either gets old or dies young. I am not dying BTW, in case you were hoping I was. Still, my remaining time in this life could certainly be a lot shorter than some folks here. I am not looking for sympathy....everyone dies sooner or later. I accept my fate and I am not looking for preferential treatment. So please do not cut me any slack as I suspect you won't.

Perhaps I am just having a moment of melancholia. Like most folks, I would like to believe I made a difference to someone, somewhere. I know I will be missed by my family and friends, but will I be missed in any larger sense. Before you kill me with your responses, I hope you will give this some thought, because there but for you, go I.

You bring some interesting thoughts here "thinking outside the box so to speak" so hang around until you are dead. A memorial service will be held here.

[mass243]

Of course.

And you're not the only old fart here

Yes, I get that my post is very self serving as compared to the situation in Boston. I cannot resolve the horrific events that happened in Boston and neither can you. From what I have read here, conspiracy theories about that event abound. Clearly the world is in deep shit. My coming or going is nothing compared to world affairs like this. I was not attempting to put little old me in that perspective.

Like I said, flame on.

It is not like others have never given these things a thought.

Difference in what?  on the board? maybe.

On people who come to the boards lives?  

Of course not.

Go volunteer or do something more constructive with this board time if you want it to have made a difference.

This place is nothing like real life.  It is for time that is there to be wasted.  Entirely forgettable.

It makes me feel sad to read what you're saying.  This is just a playground.

Seriously, rethink your time spending if you think like that.  It's awful.  You could do a lot more for people outside, in the real world.

I am watching it here on the news. Prime I would miss you in the mature thread. I would miss how you ramble on irritating me trying to analyse me and getting it all wrong. Then you say something funny and I raise one eyebrow and think wtf and laugh and then I am no longer irritated by you.

[Primemuscle]

Of course.

Good to know.

I am just trying to lend something real here. It is good to see someone understands this.

Great advice. Thank you for this.

Just so you know, I do volunteer a great deal of my time for various causes. In some respects I am busier now then when I was working. Still at a certain age, it is not uncommon to try an access our worth in any given endeavor.

Getbig is in part a time filler for me. In the course of any day, my time spent on Getbig means less then the time I spend doing things for others outside the Internet.

[King Shizzo]

I was actually thinking about posting a P.I.P Primemuscle thread. You are so old, we have to be ready at a moments notice.  The real people on this board care.

What's even more morbid, is someone will probably quote this post when you die.

Quite the pleasant thought I bet.

[calfzilla]

I hope you live a long time prime, but when you do go would you like me to attend the funeral?

[Primemuscle]

Perhaps I am trying to give Getbiggers a reputation to live up to. I am a sensitive guy. I give a fuck what people think, even Internet acquaintances. As for blurring the lines between the Internet and real life, I am sure I do that.  To some degree you all have replaced the socializing that I enjoyed with the folks I worked with. You probably can't understand this if you are not retired, but think about it. When you work, you spend at least 40 hours a week socializing with the other folks you worked with.

I will give you that it is escapism to spend time here. My wife is very ill. I spend a lot of time with her every day, taking care of her. Much of the time I am posting on Getbig while she is snoozing in the chair next to me. I want to be with her and be there for her when she needs me, but doing so can be boring too. So yes, I am often just passing time while posting here. Never-the-less, I am somewhat invested in the interchange Getbig offers me.

Booty, it is good to know that you are not the only person that finds me irritating sometimes. I suspect my children would agree with you. And yes, I do have issues with analyzing folks and sometimes getting it all wrong, but my intentions are honorable, if that means anything. I analyze folks because I care about people.

[Primemuscle]

I laughed out loud when I read this, because the last thing I want is a funeral. If you'd like to attend the blowout party I've requested my children or wife give me after I've gone, you are welcome. I am not a morbid person despite how this thread I started may make me seem. I am a fatalist. We live and we all die. Better to celebrate death than to mourn it, IMO.

Who knows, maybe I'll go to Paris or London to die. That way, everyone who wants to will have an excuse to travel to one of Europe's great cities for the ultimate bash.

[calfzilla]

Ok have your kids pm me when you are gone. Hopefully not for many many years. Best wishes to you and the wife. I had a family member die of the same ailment.

You have a big heart, this much I know. That's why I don't stay irritated for long because how can I, when you do it with the best intentions.

[gym**rat]

Prime, how old are you? I am 54 and have cheated death many times over. I rarely think about death. When I do I welcome it. Not being morbid but I deal with severe back pain ever minute so that is my reasoning. I know I won't be missed here when i am gone. Unless I start a thread about how good kings are.

[Bevo]

Vince Basille would be at the funeral in a heartbeat...

That being said I had 2 best friends die one after the other 1 year apart both 23 and 24 , then my mom passed a year later from cancer. All happened in a span of 3 years

U never know just enjoy and move on , no time for grudges and Internet battles/bickering

[calfzilla]

I was thinking about death the other day and realized no matter who you are or how "important" you are, the world still goes on without you.
