When I get to the point where I can't take care of myself, I'm going to crawl out to my garage, fire up the generator and then take an eternal
nap. I just hope some do-good-er doesn't find me before the CO does.

Can I come by and cheer you on? I lost friend to self inflicted CO poisoning. He was a Vietnam vet who suffered from a service related injury and was in horrible chronic pain. Thanks to our wonderful DEA, he couldn't get enough of the help he needed from the VA hospital with the pain he was in. We have a wonderful VA hospital here in Birmingham and I wish he'd talked to a mental healthcare professional there. He'd lost his mother who was his anchor and after that he spiraled down into a very deep depression until he gave up on life. He was found dead sitting in his car inside his garage. We friends wanted to believe it was an accident but I doubt he would have started the car without first opening the garage door no mater how drunk he may have been. 8-(
