Have I ever told you that I love you?

We have mentioned marriage, a time or two, as I recall :!)

Yay!

As some may know, I'm now unemployed, and dirt poor.

I come from a family so poor, my mom had to draw clothes on us...

OmCheeto, 54 years ago, eating dirt, to survive...

And she probably stole the pen...

It is awfully off topic.

But you just made my day :biggrin:

Thank you everyone. I was not looking forward to going back to dirt baths...

"But you looked really happy Om?"
Happy? Sure! Mom wasn't spitting on a rag, and rubbing my face with it.
And she'd stolen a shirt from the 2nd hand store, that kinda hid the fact that I still wasn't wearing any pants...

Shhh... Greg is watching World Cup.

And yes, he got the last $4.50. o:)

We've raised the money! I will be requesting they take a photo of the wreath so we can all take solace in our small gift to Arild and his family.

Very nice, thank you to everyone that contributed!

I should mention to the family, that I've not been on this forum very long.

But this it the first time, I've ever seen such an outpouring of affection, and sadness, for a fellow member.

If someone had told me, 6 years ago, that I would shed actual tears, for someone I had never met, I would have called them, a liar.

Thank you for taking the time to greet us.

Farvel, og vær så snill å komme tilbake og besøke. Du er alltid velkommen her.

Jeg vil sparke Greg i testiklene, dersom han bestemmer noe annet ... :smile:

IMPORTANT NOTICE!

I managed to get a typo on the date for the ceremony. I was working so hard finding the right words that I managed to get the information wrong. The correct date for the memorial service is 26th of JUNE. Many apologies for any misunderstandings. Mods, I would appreciate it if you could correct this information. The time is 12:30 pm, and the full address is "Haslum Krematorium, lille kapell" in Bærum outside Oslo.

Thank you for your fundraising, I will provide some pictures of the ceremony and your contribution to it. This is very much appreciated.

Regards,

Andreas, on behalf of the family.

I obviously never had a chance to interact with arildno since I just joined, but still am saddened by this news!

My condolences to the family.

:(

Just think that at least he is out of the suffering that he was facing before taking such a step.

With Arildno no longer with us on PF we have a deficiency that may never fully heal. To the family who knew him better than we ever could, I am so sorry for your loss.

My apologies for being late to this thread. I'm afraid I never had the chance to interact with arildno directly or knew him in person, but I too am saddened to hear that he has passed away -- it's always sad to hear that an important participant to PF Forums is no longer among us.

My deepest condolences and sympathies to his family in this time of mourning and grief.

I had a dream about Arild this morning.

Not too much I can remember, besides a couple of images.

One was a picture of him, in clean room, blue and white garb, smiling over his shoulder. At first I thought he was a meat cutter in a factory. But seeing no blood, I decided he worked for some high-tech firm.

The other image, was the cover of a light brown, leather bound book, which I knew was his diary. The title was; "Asleep"

Dreams are strange.

Really sorry to hear of such a tragic loss. These kinds of problem should not be allowed to get to this stage.

Dreams are strange, true, but fully-awake brains are strange too. As I was reading your dream, this song came into my head:
