just "ok"ing his situation on not getting it checked out...that's his choice...assuming you are correct in your assumption of his "it's fine" answer
what had you puzzled??

I was puzzled about your response. I wasn't sure if you were doubtful of my assumption, or if you were passive about Brian's not getting checked.
I was doubly puzzled that if he did not get it checked that you weren't more concerned given your earlier post: "...if your bleeding that much brian - don't wait for a doctor's apt.. just go! don't be be a fool with your health. my brother learned that the hard way and paid for it with his life. even if it might end up being minor, at least you had it checked." Since you had such strong feelings on the subject earlier (apparently) I could only assume that you didn't believe my analysis of Brian's response.
But that didn't make any sense, since we all know that I'm always right! Thus the puzzlement.
(If you're still confused about my befuddlement, I can certainly obfuscate further...)

yup.. i understand...i did decide at that point to turn the other cheek and i went the passive route...if people want to be stupid with their health - then that's certainly their perogative and not my right to keep prodding on about it (it's all about natural selection!). I'm not the type that sits by and watches someone be stupid anymore - i say "ok, whatever", turn around and run/not walk the other way.
I've already seen & been thru *enough* and if people don't care to listen to someone that's got real world "he/she was utterly & completely stupid" experiences, then that's their choice. what more can i do? I try to edumacate and it's like in one ear/out the other.. so i feel i have no choice but to run the other direction.. because i'll be damned if i have to go thru that again.
I mean it's like citationkid trying to get people to stop calling his *poor* buddy - who killed himself and his pax by not filling up on gas - an idiot.. feel bad for the guy & his family/friends but in all essence, he was and still is an idiot and so was my bro by trying to "fix" himself by cutting out his own tumor - only he didn't know it was a tumor much less malignant since he never went to the freaking doctor before trying to cut the thing out himself...4 months later with thriving bone cancer and my thoughts will never change - yes, he WAS a f'ing idiot for not going to a fracking doctor about it first, he could have prevented the whole life changing event that only took 4 months to unfold afterwards...and i'll be saying that for the rest of my life...I loved him, but he was a F'ing 25 year old ASS! everyone thinks they're so f'in smart
the only thing you can do in this life is be "real" and call a spade, a spade
.. doesn't mean i don't like them.. just means i don't like the choices they make and they won't be hearing an "i'm so sorry" from me (sorry if that doesn't sound very "nice").
If i can make a change in how someone views their health and that not everything little is "little", then that's great.. if you end up bleeding that much - you need to go to a doctor.. if it stops, then your playing cops and robbers with yourself by still not going to get it checked out...but if someone goes the "do nothing" route, then i'm running the other way. I'm not looking for a "geez, i'm sorry kristie" - that doesn't help me at all, it's too late for that...i'm just looking to help stupid people see past "their infinite wisdom" and be conscious & take some care when it comes to their health...
I see/understand why you were puzzled! esp with my "passionate" outburst earlier and/or errrr..now - I suppose i would have had the same questionable look had it been someone else! haha
dood - is "obfuscate" even a word? hahahaha

Now that is one of the most *real* posts I have ever read.
I'll bet that there is someone out there (and I don't mean the author of this thread, either) that will read this, rethink an earlier decision, get something checked out, and change their life forever. For the better.
Thanks for sharing a little bit of that story. I'm sure it was painful, and I feel for you and your loss.
And yeah, obfuscate is a real word. Perfect for that post, if I may say so myself.
ob·fus·cate
1. To make so confused or opaque as to be difficult to perceive or understand.

thanks! and please don't be sorry for my loss, it only makes me sad in the long run and reminds me how i have to live with his stupidity on a daily basis - i would have never done that to him! little brothers can be the most annoying creatures! hahahahahha....
but talking about it has always been very theraputic for me... probably why most people go to therapy as a "healing" process...it actually does help. hey yea.. and that's what blogs are for! I should open one of those up for me..hmmmm... hahaha
ok, i have to admit that the definition for obfuscate is actually *obfuscating* itself! hahaha i wonder what the synonym for that would be?
