I just don't understand wanting to end your life because your boyfriend broke up with you. No man is worth that. Have some self-respect and kick him out the door if he doesn't want to be with you anymore.

I find it hard to have a whole bunch of sympathy about your messed up life, we all have problems we're dealing with.

Tell the girl exactly that. I don't see that as being a heartless bitch but a realist.

How long was the relationship?
<= 6 months maybe?
If so just think about a junkie on cold turkey, from neurochemical POV it's exactly the same.

Here it is usually one or the other.

It's private rent, I think. Someone buying an apartment and renting it out for profit.

I just know way too many people that have fought to live and have passed away anyway. I don't get how anyone wants to just throw their life away.

Freeshadow · 02-17-2017, 01:21 PM

@Hemmi, while we both agree on that the particular reason is stupid I disagree on the throw away theory in general. If you agree that everyones life belongs to himself you have to accept his or hers right to end it.

Please take any discussion about the ethics of suicide to the P&R forum. Thank you.

I'm sad that my favourite customer, and creator of Miffy/Nijntje, Dick Bruna has died. He was a super nice man, when I saw him around in town he always greeted me and when he came into the store he liked to have a chat.

I'm sorry to hear that Rumpel. It always makes me sad when one of our customers at work passes away.

My time to vent a little:

My Amazon account was hacked today. The individual tried to transfer my gift card balance to someone else or buy another gift card to sell on Craigslist/eBay.

Fortunately, Amazon's security procedures stopped the hacker. The CS could read their chat sessions with the person pretending to be me.

Was it random or someone you knew?

I have an email address just for Amazon. I use it for nothing else.

The CSR said to change password and that would force the impostor off my account. Their IP address was logged and fraud dept notified.

According to the CSR, people often use chat to try and do nefarious things thinking it is less secure when, in fact, it's more secure.

Blossom · 02-20-2017, 10:05 PM

Yes but they got your email address somewhere and they might not be the only one. This is why I would changed it to a new one.
