It just hit me all over again. Today. (Whiners only please)

[EFerrari]

Maybe because we just bought a tiny closet and are waiting for the keys. Maybe because for the last three weeks, I've had some time to catch up with myself.

This whole summer, I could have done without.

I miss Andy. Miss his humor and his sharpness and miss how silly he could be at the drop of a hat. And am worried about merh and SwampRat and feel as impotent as possible over that.

I just really HATE not being a superhero. Where is that damn cape when you need it? I mean, sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh.

On edit: Right here, at DU. Thank you, DU.

3. I know how you feel

I am sorry that you are hurting.

4. A preternaturally wise friend said to me

"We hurt because we're making room on the inside to hold and have our loved ones."

It really does feel like that.

My people are Mayans. We talk to our dead. We joke with them and upbraid them and argue with them. Just because you can't see someone doesn't mean they aren't there.

Me, I'd trade getting to see right now. Thank you.

[merh]

5. Don't you worry about me none!

I'm alive and kickin' -- (Don't consider me a whiner, I ain't down yet!)

:hug: I miss Andy too! :hug:

Take good care of yourself - take care of you! :loveya: :pals: :hug:

[EFerrari]

6. I can't help it. I can't be there with you

so all I can do is fret. I hate that. I'm much better with a hammer than with a doubt.

:nopity:

I may be off line for a day or so because these SBC whackos can't change me over one floor above me head.

I'm still kicking, too. Maybe we should start a "still kicking and in your face" secret handshake?

:hug:

[merh]

7. Just send out the positive energies

and good wishes and say some prayers, that is more than enough. :hug: :pals:

I have yet to hear from my insurance company and I am afraid I am in for a battle to get them to pay my claim. To quote some darn hero - I have not yet begun to fight!


:think: You could become rich and then hire me as your quick witted and clever assistant!

Just take care of you so that I don't have to fret about you. :hug: :loveya:

8. Hey, if you need a phone bank you know where to go.

And I know what you mean. My house slid on it's foundation in the Loma Prieta quake, and I swear, all those operators were trained on how to get rid of people like me.

Give 'em hell, merh. We're right there with you.

:toast:

:hug:

9. I know just what you mean...

about missing Andy. :hug:

[EFerrari]

10. I'm moving.

And it will be nuts here for a few days. Then, we're to remodel the old place. One of the longest conversations I had with Maestro was about the Home Depot in Baltimore. lol! We were HD junkies, we liked to do the aisles.

I'll be out of pocket for a couple of days. Take good care.

:hug:

11. Hey sfexpat2000

:hug:

I haven't forgotten about Termite, Andy or You. I often wonder how Ballot is doing.

My thoughts will be with you for a uneventful transition. :thumbsup:
