   A lesson in when you’ve become too attached to possessions..   
      
   NY Daily News: A morbidly obese man had to be cut out of a chair   
   after not getting up for two years, officials said.   
      
   The unidentified 43-year-old man living in Bellaire, Ohio, was   
   discovered after his girlfriend and roommate called for help   
   when the man was found unconscious in a living room chair.   
      
   He had been in the chair so long, that he and the chair were now   
   one in  the same– his skin fused to the fabric. He wasn’t alone   
   in his chair, however. He was in the company of an infestation   
   of maggots and his own excrement too.   
      
   We’ve got to wonder, what kind of mindset can someone possible   
   be in when they’re in that condition? Is that why he didn’t ask   
   for help? Or did he?   
      
   The man  lived with a roommate and a girlfriend who prepared him   
   food since he was unable to get up.   
      
   While they were preparing all of those assuredly healthy treats   
   for their roommate and chairbound lover, didn’t they ever stop   
   to wonder where the waste was going? Didn’t they wonder if maybe   
   they should call for help when they brushed the maggots from his   
   cheek as he gobbled up his hearty meal?   
      
   And how did this all end?   
      
   Authorities were forced to cut a hole in the wall of the  man’s   
   house to remove him to the hospital.   
      
   So much for roommates…
