May you be forever young. But life is not all sweet. I saw my brother's young daughter in a coffin. I saw him cry. I can't imagine how deep grief could be if I lost any of mine.

What a great outpouring.
It is quite gratifying to see a virtual community so real.

That's very sad, Holmes. My best wishes for you, as well as Shanny. Alone is fine, but lonely can be so awful. It can eat you up. |

Hahahaha! Funny.
Thank you threadbare..
Now I am not lonely per se. I have my girl who keeps me from being lonely. But I am alone in that we live in different regions right now. But I love being alone. I love my alone time. However living on the road living for the last bits of American wilderness can have its lonely moments. You find out exactly who you are thats for sure...and you lose all tolerance for the scumbag world outside.
and you do not make friends easily becuase of the intolerance to takers and users and manipulators.

Once again, Madpaddy says it well.
Shanny just wants to be heard. Despite the bickering, there's a lot of hearing going on here and in that sense, we're a real community. That's the glue.
I wish you well, Shanny.

I haven't dropped by this forum in a couple of weeks, so I just saw your post.
I can't imagine what it would be like to take so many terrible blows, and in such quick succession. Words fail me.
You have many friends here. I'm glad their posts have provided some comfort for you.

Why do I feel the word hope, being quietly followed by the word Hell with a capital H in your post? |

Give it up, Oregon hippie! Doom doom doom.  There, feel better? 
Seriously, thanks very much everyone.  These things come and go of course, but I'm doing better now. I think I bottomed out. I hope!
See POAlex? Nobody's hopeless here.

I just asked BAS to prevent any further posting from my side over the next 12 months.
There are good reasons to shut down business from time to time, see you guys again in a year from now.
