One of my best friends' dad

committed suicide and afterwards I was always saying things like killing myself laughing and then regretting it big time.

Very odd how you react to tragedies like that.

It's always the same

sad story there.........but it is always the same. As soon as summat bad happens the language ends up reflecting it no matter how much you try not to bring the topic into the conversation.

the subconscious urge

not to say something, almost guarantees its inevitable blurting, probably at the most inopportune time

My girlfriend once said ....

.."Why can't you just piss off?" and the funny thing was it was just after she had taken a Restraining Order out. Hahaha. No wait ... that's not really the same thing is it?

i'm running a fun-run in april - 10 miles

and i keep telling people, "it will probably kill me", which is in poor taste considering i'm running it to raise money for leukemia charity - a friend of mine dying from it last year...

Yes

but did you actually say that to your friend?

(

Ijon Tichy, Tue 18 Feb 2003, 14:25, archived)

not

before he died, no.

(martian, Tue 18 Feb 2003, 14:27, archived)

Probably

for the best.

Good luck BTW

A friend of mine died from cancer a couple of years ago

another friend wanted to get him a "get well soon" card but when it became clear he wasn't going to she settled for "Enjoy your trip".

The sentiment was thankfully appreciated.
