Sudden unexpected loss

Although I did not know Scott personally, I feel his loss. Two months ago, my best friend of 53 years died of a sudden massive heart attack while driving home from breakfast. He was gone in minutes.
I feel for his girlfriend and his family, it rips at your heart to lose someone you love especially when it comes without warning.

There is a lesson here however, don't leave anything undone, any words unspoken, any feelings not expressed. We pass this way but once and we should all try to live our lives with conviction and passion and integrity.

Rest In Peace Scott

The clock of life is wound but once, and no man has the power
to tell just when the hands will stop, at late or early hour.
Now is the only time you own, live, love, toil with a will.
Place no faith in time for the clock may soon be still.

    M y dad died un expected from a heart attack and two weeks ago my wife's uncle died in the parking lot after work. He drove Cement trucks as a retirment job. He mentioned getting cold and clammy almost two weeks prior but blew it off.

    I am worried about myself. NO health care and I have been having chest pains. My chest feels tights and I have a general feeling of not being well or a ease. I hope it's just stress from managment giving us too much work and not enough time to do it.

    I am sure Scott had no idea he was going to check out. I know he like I must have had many things going on he was not able to finish. Got to be a bad feeling.

    Waco, you are having a small heart attack. GET TO THE HOSPITAL NOW!

    I had the same symptoms. I now have had triple bypass surgery from waiting around.

    Heart attack at 34, triple By-pass at 50 think you need to at least get into an Urgent care and be checked.

    A doctor's article in the Journal of the American Medical Association which I googled up seemed to say that losing weight by starving would clear arteries.

    It seemed like a reliable source.

    I am not telling anyone in particular especially if they might be having a heart attack.[:0]

    This was my first hit on google searching under "fasting clears arteries" so I am not just cherry picking.

    There is a song I like and listen to often. It's called Someday and it's performed by Nickelback: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VMFdpdDYYA&ob=av2n . The song isn't really relevent to this, but the opening line is: How the hell did we wind up like this?
    Why weren't we able, to see the signs that we missed

    I didn't know Clem (scott) beyond comments in various post. Never butted heads, mostly agreed with him. But I do sense a loss. Not only from me, but from how he affected others here.

    For those of you who called him friend, I am truly sorry for your loss. My prayers are with his family and his friends. Locus Fork, I hope you can find peace.

    I can't help to feel that clem has given me a sign. And it's not one to miss. So I will be talking to my Dr this week to have all the things done that was suppose to be done back at 40. No more putting it off.

    Clem, while you will never get this, thank you. Thank you for making me see what I had only dismissed in the past.

    RIP

    The description of your health is the same way I felt in late June last year. An ambulance ride to the hospital confirmed my 2nd heart attack. My first one was 4 months earlier when severe back and left arm pain kept me from sleeping one night.
    I thought that was my pinched nerves acting up again.

    My 5 stents in 4 months was no fun.
