So we found out a few weeks ago that my dad has throat cancer.
It's really one of those things where you hear about it all the time but never think it could really happen to you or you family.
My parents main business is a silk-screening company, but since my dads going to be laid up while going through treatment our income is going to be tested, since my mother can't work due to being disabled, and I might not be able to work as much as I'd like since I'll be helping with taking care of him.
We started a group on facebook where we're selling shirts where the money will go straight to his care, it's really great to see all these people coming out of the wood working to support my family and the long fight we all have ahead of us.
I'm most surprised of all from the support and orders we've received from a lot of my "internet" friends. It's really great to see that just because we've never met, doesn't mean that they are not supporting us. It truly means a lot to me and my family.
(Sorry to change the topic to something so heavy, it's just nice to be able to let it out.)
Sorry, Stik.
It's nice that a lot of people are pitching in to support.

Did you dad smoke, by chance?
No he wasn't a smoker. They believe he got it from HPV.
You and I might both be up cancer creek later because of smoking.
you're probably safe.
No one is safe! Everything causes cancer nowadays, at this rate we'll soon find that posting on forums causes cancer of the -insert organ/body part here-.
Damn blast and damn, I missed the pun. And hate you because I hate puns. But, good one, nonetheless.
You hate puns but you like Pratchett?!
Late reply: he doesn't do nearly as much punning as he's given credit for. Also, though they tend to have the subtlety of a half-brick to the skull, they also tend to be couched in an adequate veneer of literacy. It's a helluva balancing act he pulls off.
When they die, I'm planning to steal his and Neil Gaiman's hearts and eat them to gain their power.
about uhm, 6-7 years ago, one of my front teeth got chipped, a bit.
as time passed, from that small missing part, more of it has broken off, little visible, and today another small piece cracked off,and now I have a hole in my tooth + the small gap from before :/

We're all screwed!
Well, the cold fact is a bit worse than your humorous hyperbole:
Everyone who lives long enough develops cancer. Everyone. Cancer is just a cell that has slipped loose and gone crazy. Literally every male's prostate will develop benign cancerous growths if he lives long enough (and yet no one talks about prostate cancer -- it kills fully 33% more men per year than breast cancer does, too).
The reason "everything" gives you cancer is because we're doing this crazy thing where we don't die at the ripe old age of 34 anymore. On the plus side, though, in the past 50 years we've managed to make most cancers treatable, if not outright curable. It's only a few really sticky ones (breast cancer being near the top of the list) that we're having trouble with.
The best medicine, therefore, is just to be aware of your own health as you age, notice anomalies, and get them checked sooner than later. Don't be like a 16-year-old boy with his first car who lets the thing make a funny sound when he brakes for 7 or 8 months before finally deciding to replace the pads or careen off a slick highway into a ditch.

I have nightmares like that. Get thee to a dentist.

Ohhhhhh yeah buddy. that happened to me a few years ago. I just told them I had a lot of weird anxiety, & would need a ***ton of nitrous oxide. they said that would be fine, if I paid an extra hundred dollars. best money I've ever spent.
one of only a few reoccurring dreams I have is my teeth falling out. I want to know what freud's got to say about that one.
JUST falling out? Mine like to crumble into fragments first, so I end up spitting out gravel composed of MY TEETH! I need to go drink away this memory now.

no, exactly the same as you. I just didn't want to go into that much detail & creep myself out. it's lots of spitting blood & tooth chunks into my hands.

Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.
Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
