Farewell

Last year I started getting severe headaches. As the frequency and severity increased I sought medical help, and after many exams & tests was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor.
It's got to the point where the pain has become more than I wish to deal with. The only alternative is drugs that would turn me into a zombie, and that's no way to live, and it would only prolong my life by a few months.
So I decieded to travel back to my old stomping grounds in SoCal, have 1 last gathering with my friends, and then take a walk in the woods that I love so much, and not come out.
I've had a lot of fun here. I hope I've entertained and helped people.

Don't feel bad for me. I've had an interesting life to say the least, and at 60 years it's time to say good-bye.

I'll leave you with this: grow marijuana.

 

wow- have a great time in the woods... some day i'll make that journey too (not gonna die in a hospital!!!!!!!!)

 

oh man, ranger u have been like a hero to me ever since i satrted coming on here, fucking hell. but yes, u seemed to have lived an interesting life, hope everything goes as smooth as possible. enjoy yourself man

i dont know what else to say

 

do you know how long you have left?

 

Wow, I don't really know what I should say...

Bye man...

 

man don't say that i needed your help with a step-by-step growing log im starting soon and i know your the only one i can trust. but i hope you don't go through with what your planning. you dont HAVE to take the medication. you can live those extra few months with happiness and can keep spreading your knowledge among hipforums. but if your suffering it's only right to do what your heart says. but if your for real i hope you a greatful afterlife and thank you for your wisdom.

 

man, what are we supposed to do without your advice and stories. Dunno what to say, so good bye.

 

its his life 40oz, if it were me, i wouldnt want to spend my days in no hospital, he is wise, wise enough to have chosen and finish his path. i dont think any long term people here wil ver forget him, or the people he has met, because if i met someone like ranger- u shure as hell wouldnt

 

Wow ranger, that was unexpected.. I really looked forward to all your stories on here, whenever I saw a new story from you, I pounced on it. I'm sure everyone here will miss you, goodluck in the next life man.

 

indeed it is his life. doesn't mean his heart is saying the right thing. if i had a disease that was threatening MY LIFE, i would live life like i actually wanted when i was younger. and live until i couldnt suffer anymore. it's not like i want him to suffer anymore. i just have a greedy heart and hate to see people go out, in any way.

 

in order for him to live, he will need to be in the hostpital on pills, this will give him a few more months. a few more months of what, being in the hospital?

 

i dunno, however it long it takes. im not a doctor

 

It seems like yours was a life well worth living.



This is the last Calvin and Hobbes ever published, and the meaning behind it seemed appropriate somehow. Good luck.

 

Im sorry to hear that man, I can only say I hope there is a happy afterlife for you because from how youve described your life through your storys you sound like you lived in a happy and peaceful way. Im taking your posts and saving them, lord knows I will grow marijuana. Im happy youve chosen to go to where your from and going to the woods you loved. Id hate to die in a hospital too, and hope I never will in one.

 

I love you ranger man. We've all had some good times here. You brightened my day with your stories of the good 'ole days, and there was never a time when you didn't have a sound piece of advice. I'm glad your going in such a peaceful way. Peace brother, we'll miss you

 

Sorry to hear that, ranger, you'll definately be missed by me as well as the rest of the forums. Make sure to belt out some more of those stories before you go, if you feel up to it. I'll see you in heaven, man.

 

hey y'all, don't argue. This is a serious thread. Ranger is fucking leaving and he's going to die. Shit man... I am going to miss him....

 

Bye man, i hope to see you in heaven bro.

 

I'm gonna miss you man... I really am.

This bowl is dedicated to you rangerman

i really enjoyed all of your stories and knowledge you shared with us, live on brother

 

I know this sounds out of place, but I'm going to have to go with congratulations. You know what you're doing, and you know what you've done. I think it's much more honorable to leave this world peacefully and with dignity than to lose yourself and really your true life in an attempt to stay on this wretched earth any longer than you have to.

Good man, wise choice. We'll miss ya!
