I'm sure this question may have been asked, but have you ever run into an instance where you've developed (non-sexual) pictures of nude children/teens?

I was never a "photo specialist" but I did work for CVS for a few years and ran the photo machine whenever someone came in with a roll.

One day a man brought in a 27-shot disposable roll, and most of the photos were of vacation shots and some (really cool) DIY projects, but the last three shots on the roll were of an obviously pre-pubescent young man's squishy no-no parts, complete with motion blurriness and lack of focus.

Now, corporate policy is that whenever that kind of stuff is discovered that I need to call the cops, which I begrudgingly did, knowing that the reality of the situation was that some moron 12 year old who just started puberty was just being candid with his junk.

So, cops came when he picked up his photos. He called his wife and told her to bring his older son to the store to explain his fuckup-ery to the officers. Son arrives and sheepishly has to explain to the cops why he used his father's disposable camera to take pictures of his cockenballs.

Jesus Fuck, does anyone else remember being 13 and doing stupid shit?

Well thank you for opening up about it and being honest and remorseful. By not engaging in the "blame-game," you cut through a lot of potential bullshit and get the important parts of the story out there.

I know that when I finally get the Kidney and Liver I need to see 40, I'll treat them like solid gold.

I'm sorry about your brother. I truly am.

Right now I'm slowly coming to grips with the fact that more than likely; two people will have to die for me to see 40. Two lives, for my one.

I will honor that for the rest of my life.

Myofibrillar Myopathy

• Myofibrillar myopathy is part of a group of disorders called muscular dystrophies that affect muscle function and cause weakness. Myofibrillar myopathy primarily affects skeletal muscles, which are muscles that the body uses for movement. In some cases, the heart (cardiac) muscle is also affected.

• The signs and symptoms of myofibrillar myopathy vary widely among affected individuals, typically depending on the condition's genetic cause. Most people with this disorder begin to develop muscle weakness (myopathy) in mid-adulthood. However, features of this condition can appear anytime between infancy and late adulthood. Muscle weakness most often begins in the hands and feet (distal muscles), but some people first experience weakness in the muscles near the center of the body (proximal muscles). Other affected individuals develop muscle weakness throughout their body. Facial muscle weakness can cause swallowing and speech difficulties. Muscle weakness worsens over time.

• Other signs and symptoms of myofibrillar myopathy can include a weakened heart muscle (cardiomyopathy), muscle pain (myalgia), loss of sensation and weakness in the limbs (peripheral neuropathy), and respiratory failure. Individuals with this condition may have skeletal problems including joint stiffness (contractures) and abnormal side-to-side curvature of the spine (scoliosis). Rarely, people with this condition develop clouding of the lens of the eyes (cataracts).

I have much the same outlook right now.

When I got sick I was fat, depressed and recently divorced. I was not given very good odds on surviving the sudden and catastrophic organ failure I did. In fact while I was in my coma and my organs were continuing to deteriorate, the doctors advised my brother to end life support.

...and so, when I get the transplants I need, and can live life again free of dialysis, paracentesis' and re-learning to walk , I certainly plain on living it.

I'm not walking into Heaven depressed and fat, I'm sliding sideways into hell on a motorcycle screaming in exultation. :D
