    So loving on Triumph, Senor Insult Comic Dog, right now.  Like laughing as I would at Carlin or any of his ilk.

    A brilliant and Rickles-like little fucker.

    I'm travelling to Glasgow for a bit of a Pearl Jam meet up on Saturday and I'm very nervous about it. There are a couple of people I'm looking forward to meeting but more that I'm desperate to avoid! Kind of regretting deciding to go but having booked and paid for it all I'm not going to back out now
    Relax and have a good time, to be honest I would be a little nervous as well it's nothing wrong with that. You will probably meet a bunch of cool and great people, have fun!

    I have nothing on my mind by choice (it's all pushed behind the gate that lets me be).  That should hold for a bit.

    So happy I came into this thread. In just the two pages I read I have seen names i have known since i joined 4 1/2 years ago. I haven't been on much, but that is true of all sites and places since my diagnosis. When I do come here, it's so nice to see how people are - or just to see a known avatar of a person I have cyber affection for.

    So happy for you brianlux - that must be such an accomplished feeling!!

    Congratulations northerndragon - being an Aunt is a wonderful thing. 

    jnimhaoileion - I would be in a panic in the same situation. Sounds like a great idea, then when the time comes to do so you think 'what the hell?'. I admire you for stepping out of your comfort zone to meet people that you know only through this type of communication. In other places of the internet I have made some life long friends. I also have met people that I realized that I was just not clicking with. You can always meet them and if it feels weird - go your own way. Good luck!!!!

    I see you hedonist and PJ_Soul and Pap (one of my first 'friends' in the rate the song thread!!! Hope you are well!) and Annafalk  and smallest ocean and cuddly Hobbes. You all put a smile on my face. Especially the names i forgot to include.

    Thanks lolo - nice to see you. 

    'and though i may disappear from out of  view, I will never say good bye' . I know that it's wrong but that's how I sing it when I don't have throw your arms around me playing.  And it pops into my mind about my social media and personal connections. I just can't get on sometimes, but the days that I do it makes me feel good. 

    I struggle with my situation and illness but I am a survivor and if not for the fear that I may never really have a relationship with my son again, I could pull out of this easier. I'm doing alright though. I'm alive, I'm communicating today, I'm taking care of mom and I may leave the house today. So I can't complain. I hope you are doing okay.

    "I'm alive"

    Someone precious in my life said those words to me just recently.  It really can be as simple as that, at times.

    Nancy, keep in your good (mental) place, keep that happiness as much as you can.

    i try everyday hedonist. And after losing my brother and sister at an age when they should still be here, I have to figure I am here for a reason and I'm being put through the wringer to be ready to handle anything.  I love your posts. I'm alive is sometimes just good enough. And while I am, I get to keep trying and making mistakes and learning. If I am feeling emotions, even if they suck, it means I'm a breathing human being. 

    Won't let the darkness swallow me; won't let the light escape from me! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

    The peace of mind knowing a plumber removed my old sink  and installed a new kitchen sink and  faucet today. Two hours.  To me that says a lot as a DIY self handyman.  Twice this year I've called upon a plumber because I am done convincing myself that I am an expert from watching You tube videos.

    ^ Sometimes that is the way to go. My ex tried to repair our running toilet for two years. He'd "fix" one thing and then something else would break. We spent more money on repairing it ourselves then if we had just hired a professional. Glad you have a new sink and a little peace of mind to boot.

    On my mind right now is a sadness so deep that i can't think or feel enough of passionately expressed poetry. 

    Deep deep ocean of loss
