I used to watch it (MASH) for the scene where they pull the shower tent sides off of the shower while the Nurses were showering. Pretty cool scene for a 10-12 year old. The whole movie was good, even the spin off.
For me, the funniest thing was Spear Chucker Jones, I never thought it was racist, but you can't do it anymore.

I do not know but I would think most are with rented guns. Perhaps the people do it there because they don't own their own? Just guessing.
I have seen, after a suicide, ranges won't rent you a gun if you are alone. Takes a while before things lighten up.
They won't rent you a gun if you're crying...

I heard a song once that said suicide is painless.
Not so. Failed suicide is far from painless.
Had a co-worker attempt to swallow a 12 ga. The phone started ringing at the same instant he pulled the trigger and turned his head by instinct to see the phone. He's really ugly now, but thoughts of suicide are no longer with him. She left.

I've had 3 people I knew that shot themselves in the head. 2 were cousins and all sorts of life issues and drugs. The first cousin used a .22 pistol and it didn't kill her. My aunt and uncle had to pull the plug days later. The other cousin used a .357 in the parking lot at Crossroads mall it worked.
A guy from high-school went out over a girl and heavy booze use, in the parking lot of her apartment while she could watch.
Horrific each time.
Terrible. I hate that happens.

Used to be a fellow in town here, that shot himself in the temple with a .38 special. It only blinded him. He was a great guy, He began to live after surviving the failed attempt. At the time he was a alcoholic and had some family issues. He was a great fellow to visit with. He would walk all over up town and visit. I was watching him one day walking with his white cane, he veered off the sidewalk in an empty lot. He got up against a small tree that his cane would not reach the trunk, and the limbs were hitting him in the face. He couldn't get loose from it. I went and helped him and we had a great laugh about it. Once in my Uncles Bar he asked me to help him to find the restroom. He would tell you to give him your left elbow and he would follow. Not thinking and eager to help I stuck out my right elbow, it put him on my right side, we were running over everything in the place, then it dawned on me why he wanted my left elbow so he could walk directly behind, it was another good laugh.

People can get really distressed and think Alcohol or Drugs will help, always adds fuel to the fire.
Sadly it seems hard to help or reach someone in that state of mind.
The more You try and help them seems the harder they resist till they hit bottom.
Impossible to know what to do seems like.

Yeah if it doesn't work then you are really bad off. Seems like a shot to the heart would be more guaranteed than a shot to the head.

I suppose the thought is the head shot has less suffering maybe, I do not know.
It does seem most choose a headshot.
I know from experience in Hunting, a clean Head shot to the middle of the brain area stops em in there tracks with no flopping. A heart shot can linger on for a while with a lot of flight characteristics.

After working on a Commercial Hog Farm for three years back in the day, we killed lame paralyzed sow's daily, they would be down for weeks while trying to nurse them back. If you misplaced the Stun Gun shot to the head they would swing their legs like a Quarter Horse in a Race. Needless to say I learned the sweet spot on a Hog. After a while I never had one flop. With a Rifle you can get by with a shot between the eyes, it penetrates to the brain stem, Stun Gun you only have about a two inch penetration, you have to hit a few inches above the eyes above the nasal cavity.

Was a fire around 13th and Robinson today. Could that have been it. News said it was a commercial fire whatever that is.


A “commercial fire” involves a commercial structure. When that’s called in, you get double to triple the number of fire trucks and firefighters that would respond to a typical residential structure.

It’s in the best interest to send a lot of people and equipment to put it out quickly because of the size, proximity to other buildings and risk by who knows what is stored inside the building which could turn into a hazmat situation.

The Fellows I knew got real Happy before they left. I think they make peace with it, right before they take there last breaths.

Leaves a friend wondering what they could have done to change there mind. Bad Deal for all.
The stress is what makes them do.it. Once they make the decision, all that stress is gone.

They don't have to write another rent check.
They don't have face that boss again.
They don't have to talk to the ex again.
They won't be a failure to a loved one again.

They are free. It isnt that they are happy, it is all the stress is now gone. It can be euphoric.
