I lost my mother(best friend) to cancer abruptly and hearing Rel talk about his situation resonated with me so hard and I never thought I could relate so much to another persons grief. Guilt, stress drinking, focusing on the work to avoid pain, having a panic attack and no idea why and that need to "figure this out" I have so much more respect and love for this man!

My grandmother died when I was in my early 20s. She had been the glue that kept us all together. I watched basically everyone but me collapse into sadness and I had to stay strong for her and to talk to doctors, etc. I didn't get to grieve for her and I didn't realize, I just thought I was "being a man." Few years later I get arrested for smarting off to a cop at the wrong time and her death hit me in jail. Worst place for that to happen. The scariest looking dudes were telling me everything was going to be okay. A guy with sunglasses tatted on his face like he was wearing sunglasses in particular was beyond cool.
She had raised me and losing het was something even the hardest mfer in jail could understand. Kind of a beautiful moment to be human. Some time after that sunglasses guy shanked me for my fruit cup but he did it with kindness in his eyes.

Damn, Neal – you called it out! Yes, "the old shutoff valve just ain't what she used to be" starts before any hint of midlife crisis, and it don't abate. Started dabbing tip with TP, following the last 3 squeezes, many moons ago, as the drop or two than showed up in my drawers (worst case: commando in jeans,) was annoying. Now, at 65, coupla years into diagnosed and medicated BPH, im'ma take my damn time after bleedin' the lizard. Full disclosure – i'm a lazy sumbitch, so i've been sitting down to pee for decades, since i loathe scrubbing bathroom floor. No shame in my game – rather be in the gym, than on my knees with a bucket, or mopping at all.

You could afford a Loud Records hat, Nature Sounds, Ruthless, Ruffhouse, Def Jam South, Tommy Boy, Cold Chillin', Priority. You buy a Death Row hat. Is it ironic or do you think it's cool? I don't get it, are you pronouncing yourself an authority. There's no good answer whatever it is. Brennan will cream over these gay references. Sorry, I hate music.

The piss trick was taught to me by a former girlfriend as well. I taught my boys already so they don't have to suffer the humiliation.
