In the last 7 days I have been in 6 states, attended two separate conventions, did 4 media interviews, ran a funeral and a wake, drove 16 hours, took somebody to the hospital, and cleaned a reality tv level unsafe hoarder home. I also have somebody's remains on my kitchen counter and no idea what to do with them.

No, I'm not okay.

It is also my birthday -_-

@hacks4pancakes 🫂🫂🫂

@hacks4pancakes but, uh, happy birthday! 🎂 ❤️🫂

@hacks4pancakes HBD. I hope you find peace after all those activities.

Phyxis Aug 13, 2024

@hacks4pancakes Awwr, happy birthday!

The Doctor Aug 13, 2024

@hacks4pancakes Happy Birthday.

Is there anything we can do to help?

@drwho I would probably ask about side gigs to pay for a burial, but if I try to take them on I'll probably have a breakdown.

The Doctor Aug 13, 2024

@hacks4pancakes How about brownies?

`Da Elf Aug 13, 2024

@drwho @hacks4pancakes

I can make more tea.

Happy Birthday!

Greg Bell Aug 13, 2024

@hacks4pancakes @drwho would setting up a GFM be possible? We could crowd source the bill easy

@ferrix @drwho other people have much bigger problems

nicole schwartz amazonv Aug 13, 2024

@hacks4pancakes @ferrix @drwho multiple things can be true at once, those causes need money, you also do for this circumstance as well

Altytwo Altryness, BS

@circuitswan @hacks4pancakes @ferrix @drwho solidly agreed. It’s ok to ask for help, you’re not a failure either way.

cuan_knaggs Aug 13, 2024

@hacks4pancakes but those are not your problems and your problems are valid. i'd say take the support, you give more than enough of yourself @ferrix @drwho

Mike (no not that one)Aug 13, 2024

@mensrea @hacks4pancakes @ferrix @drwho What @mensrea said. It doesn't have to be a problem measuring contest. Yes, there are people that may have it worse than you, it doesn't mean you are less deserving of help from friends, especially given how much help you are willing to give others. There's nothing wrong with it going both ways.

Hal Pomeranz Aug 13, 2024

@mensrea @hacks4pancakes @ferrix @drwho I have to agree with this. Let your friends help. If you get more than you need, I have no doubt you will find worthy causes for the excess.

In the meantime, I wish you safety, peace, and healing. Be well.

@hacks4pancakes @ferrix @drwho
Others may be bigger but yours are still valid.
Hopefully you’re getting some much-needed Birthday sleep now.
Some pancakes for when you wake up. 👍🥞🥞

@PrivacyDigest @ferrix @drwho That's touching, thank you.

nobody Aug 13, 2024

@hacks4pancakes @ferrix @drwho You are absolutely right. So get to a better place soon so that you can be your usual self and help them as you always do. today is your turn to get help. Let us do that.

There is no shame in acknowledging that you are not OK. I wish I had your courage to do that when I needed to admit not being OK few years back.
or even today for that matter....

Eddie Dinel Aug 13, 2024

@hacks4pancakes @ferrix @drwho This is an always-true statement no matter who utters it. Doesn't mean you can't ask for assistance.

(Trying not to be a man and offer suggestions about said remains but if it would be helpful I have suggestions)

@edinel @ferrix @drwho I mean I can certainly unceremoniously dispose of my brother's ashes, it just seems deeply inappropriate and would probably really, grievously piss of his friends.

Eddie Dinel Aug 14, 2024

@hacks4pancakes @ferrix @drwho

To be clear my first suggestion is run a GFM for funding for a burial. 🙂

I will simply observe that for me, I would like my ashes to be scattered somewhere meaningful.

mkb Aug 13, 2024

@hacks4pancakes @ferrix @drwho For all the good you put into the world, it’s OK to let the world give something back. You can always cap it if that makes you more comfortable or pay it forward later when you have the spoons.

Cassandrich Aug 13, 2024

@hacks4pancakes @ferrix @drwho Can be true, but one doesn't detract from the other. I bet you'd get a bunch from ppl with plenty to spare who *aren't* sending it to others with bigger problems. And you can always pass it on later when you're in a better situation if that feels like the right thing to do.

Mike (no not that one)Aug 13, 2024

@hacks4pancakes @drwho I mean if you drop a donation link instead, I think you've got enough friends here that could probably help defray some of the cost, without trading your sanity for it...

The Doctor Aug 13, 2024

@mikey @hacks4pancakes So much this.

fuzzface Aug 13, 2024

@hacks4pancakes May you have a glorious birthday. Even if you celebrate in a few days after you have built up some energy.

Big Kumera Energy Aug 13, 2024

@hacks4pancakes wishing you some semblance of peace and quiet in the days ahead

@depereo I really, really appreciate that.

For what it is worth, happy birthday. Wishing you all the strength to get through this, and hoping your next birthday is a much brighter one. ❤️

Stefan Prandl Aug 13, 2024

@hacks4pancakes Nah you kicked that out of the park, I learnt a bunch :) I’m hoping that you get some sleep, now that it’s what, midnight in Chicago? 😂

@redezem This is apparently how I run on desperation and rage :)

Sindarina, Edge Case Detective Aug 13, 2024

@hacks4pancakes Another year of experience. Congratulations? 😂😭

Greg Bell Aug 13, 2024

@hacks4pancakes looks like "happy" might not be the ideal sentiment so: All Hail Pancake Earthiversary

@ferrix That rings better, thank you <3
