Suicide! Almost everyone has a family member or friend who's taken that route out. It's hard, lot's of if's, but's and maybe's. But they did it. They
finally took a shot at the demons that were whispering in their ear. Pray that that those demons don't start whispering to you..

I have this wonderful friend, who was married to a guy who had a fantastic personality. My friend is very shy, and he was quite the opposite. They
had a gorgeous wedding in Ridgefield, Connecticut at a place called Stonehenge. We would all go out for Mexican food in the 1980's in Connecticut to
a place called Tortilla Flats in Danbury. Rich was a wonderful guy, so intelligent, so full of life. When my son was five years old, he played Mario
Bros. with him for hours. He was an editor for a magazine about Flying; his dad had been a commercial pilot for a major airline. They were married
for 20 years, and then, suddenly he started acting wierd. He told my friend they needed to move out of their townhouse they had paid on all those
years. He said he felt it was contaminated. A few months later he went to lunch with his brother, left to go outside to the
bathroom, and shot himself by a tree. My poor friend, she never quite got over it...and I miss her husband very much...he was a wonderful person,
ironically you could say he was so full of life

There's your clue (in bold). | |
That type of attitude is a sign of obssessive compulsive behavior that is often associated with mental illness. If you've seen Scorceses "The Aviator"
note how Howard Hughes fastidiousness is shown as that of a man losing his mind. It all comes after an emergency crash landing with blows to the head.
From what you've described that's the only thing that jumps out as abnormal, a red flag. Of course it's a long ways from being suicidal. I have an
autistic son and he's not suicidal.
It just seems that once you have erratic behavior like that it could go in many directions.

i get your point in that he was someone you considered a friend, and he was pained. trying to make what he did okay, shooting himself, is just putting
"lipstick on a pig" to coin a phrase.
we have our own versions of what is right and wrong, some are even similar versions. i hope we can find enough good in our lives that nothing like
this happens to anyone here.
there is always a reason to live! don't be a cop out.....

Many consider suicide to be a valuable and very viable option Cypress.
When certain aspects of your life reach proportions that dictate that type of solution it can be a very rational decision, there are no demons
involved.

Thanks Woody... Not trying to make suicide OK here. Just saying that
some people cannot bear their own pain. As I said, I don't believe in it either and it would have to be horrendous for me to even consider. So I
can't even imagine what it was he or any other person is suffering from that would lead to such drastic results. Having never experienced anything
like that I can't even begin to judge them. And believe me I've had my ups and downs in life....

For those of you who know of the "Kook" sculpture in Cardiff, it wore a #55 Chargers Jersey all day today, with a football at his feet and all. I'm
sorry I didn't take a photo.

why would anybody want his particular brain for research?
we all know that boxers and football players got brain damage -- doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out.
a lot of football players out there, so researchers probably have many boxes of footballer brains in formaldehyde (by the way, for the next brain
donor, how should we preserve brain for research? vinegar, formaldehyde, refrigeration, freezing or drying? how did igor preserve the brains when he
harvested for dr f?
anywho, why are y'all chatting about the brain donor? what's it got to do with baja?

Off topic..
Yes, it is an off topic subject that unfortunately wasn't placed in the off topic forum. Its unfortunate also that you don't see the medical
advantage of research on the brain, formaldehyde can destroy the microvascular network and chemical reactions necessary for research, so in this case,
the brain would be helpful, at least for initial research. I find it fascinating myself, and if we can find a link to how to prevent these problems,
I say continue on. Baja has many members, including myself, who are interested in psychology and medicine, and American issues as well, after all,
many of us are still Americans. Sorry we aren't discussing the latest worm found in a bottle of tequila. Quote: | Originally posted by mtgoat666

Hundreds of surfers celebrate Seau's life and say goodbye in a paddle-out at O'side -- in front of his home.
Don't think anyone today was calling Seau a coward or judging his actions as morally wrong. Nice.
