My dear friend and apartment bldg-mate “Calvin” collapsed in front of my eyes just now, but we’ve just now safely packed him off to the ER.

Now, Calvin… he’s 75yo, but with a feisty attitude that I’ve come to especially appreciate. <3

Anyway, I sent him off with his celly, my best charger, and some bites of delicious lasagna which I’d been preparing for him, before he collapsed.

In fact, that’s the baffling thing-- the fact that he’d just been released from the hospital THIS VERY MORNING after tripping and knocking himself out on Saturday.

Unfortunately, on top of all that, I have some other personal issues going on all at the same time.

Ugh, when it rains it pours.
Quand il pleut, il pleut à verse, haha.

@Nacktmull,
I’m truly, totally honored that you agreed to help with this sub-lemmy. You are like the wind in my sails, even if that’s a cheesy analogy, lol.

Btw, in terms of the racist / automatic-hatred towards certain peoples we’ve recently seen here-- it is absolutely NOT tolerated anymore, as directly observed on the Sidebar.

Still, it’s a WIP (work-in-progress), so let’s see how it goes…

Thanks so much to our loyal readers and creators. <3

    Sending good vibes yours and Calvin’s way. Sounds like he’s got some chutzpah, so I know he’ll be fine. Hope you aren’t too shaken up. Know that this internet stranger is here if you want to talk about it.

    Shit, I am very sorry to hear that! How is Calvin now that he´s back at home? How are you doing yourself? Write me a private message anytime but first, take all the time you need to take good care of both of you.

    Checking on EGN+ daily is part of my routine anyway, so moderation is ensured and I will keep going with the Dune posts so it wont get too boring here.

    Oh stop it, I´m so embarrassed now giggles like a little girl.

      Hi, Nacky. It’s been a real trial, the past couple days.

      Cal is still in the Cleveland Clinic hospital as per this morning, and he seems to be sleeping now in the afternoon. I’ll check on him in a couple hours, and it’s now around 8PM Hamburg-time if I read the clock right.

      We also have an upcoming apartment inspection this Monday-through-Friday, and his place is absolutely ridiculous.

      I don’t know what to do about all that…
      Me, if I didn’t have this verdammt disease, it would be so easy… just do a ‘whirlwind’ upon his apt to please the inspectors.

      Oh, on top of that, there’s some coincidental bullshit about Cal’s electricity going out due to provider switch, this weekend. So now we’re working by candle-light. Bloody hell, mate!

        Maybe he has relatives you could call, or maybe some of our users live near your place and might help? Otherwise, think about what is the most important and what you can realistically get done in time, focus on that and ignore the rest for now. Best wishes to both of you!

          Whups, I’m pretty sure I’d meant to reply the above as a PM. I’ve re-addressed you as “Nacky” above, and will now take things to PM. :S
