Shine

[fleabert]

62. thank you.

I would swear my grandmother told you to say that to me. wow. (she passed away almost two years ago) I have been missing her wisdom today especially, and I think that is exactly what she would have told me.

seriously, thank you. :hug:

[Shine]

65. What is Remembered, Lives......True love NEVER dies, Fleabert

72. What a wonderful thing to say, fleabert. Thank you, kindly.

:loveya:

[billyskank]

54. Oh fleabert...

[fleabert]

63. thank you.

I feel very comforted, and humbled. :hug:

[fleabert]

64. to all of you, I have to say....

I knew what I might get by way of responses, and I posted my request because I knew I needed support, but I really wasn't prepared for how it would make me feel. My cup runneth over...

anyone who thinks an internet community is somehow shallow or less 'real' than the flesh and blood we see on the street, has no clue what the are talking about. I have never known such compassion or unconditional support, and I humbly thank you. I know it's 'just' words on a screen, but really, it meant more than that to me today. I have faith that things will work out, and everything will be fine. I don't know how, I don't know when, but I trust that it will.

What a gift DU is in my life.

[bigwillq]

67. Sending my good vibes

:hug:

[fleabert]

69. Thank you.

[Left Is Write]

[bliss_eternal]

71. Oh fleabert--

I'm so sorry that you are going through a rough time! Don't worry about not being able to say more. You are always one of the first people to be there when anyone here says they need help--of course we are there for you!

:hug: :grouphug: :pals:

I'm hoping that you are brought through this well--holding good thoughts of strength and clarity for you! (((fleabert))))

[fleabert]

85. thank you so much.

your sweet words mean a lot to me. thank you thank you thank you.

:hug:

[hfojvt]

73. well, for clarity of thought

it would be nice if you could talk to somebody, if not an entire semi-anonymous message board. Then you would have an objective viewpoint, but nobody can really know how you feel, or tell you how to feel, or run the race or take the bullet for you. Still, strength does come from support, so I try to provide some of that with a quote from Bugs Bunny's "Song for Hiawatha" - "Fare thee well, brave warrior, fare thee well."

[fleabert]

87. :-)

excellent advice. I have one friend I am able to talk about this with, even with their support, it is hard right now. Things are much better and clearer today, but it continues... I can see the path better that is for sure.

I love your quote, you have great taste. I do feel like a warrior after this thread, much stronger than the moment I wrote it. :hug:

[GreenPartyVoter]

74. You got 'em *hugs*

[fleabert]

88. thank you.

:hug:

[GreenPartyVoter]

117. Any time sweetie!

[thinkingwoman]

75. Hang in there fleabert

whatever it is, you can handle it.

You can be as strong and clear headed as you need to be. All that you need is within you. Call it up and own it.

Sending positive energy your way anyway. Think of it as a jump start, and remember, leave the engine running for at least 15 minutes so that your own battery can recharge. :hi:

[fleabert]

89. twice today you inspired me!

thank you :hug:

those were wonderful words, I will be printing out this thread and posting it on my office wall.

[thinkingwoman]

101. glad I could help!

You're quite welcome, btw. :hug:

[eyepaddle]

76. You've got 'em Fleabert,

[fleabert]

99. thank you

and to you as well :hug:

[FizzFuzz]

86. You got it, fleabert--and here's a Weenie to cheer you up:

Weenie getting a tushy trim.

[fleabert]

100. thank you, lol!

that is too cute. it made me giggle! :hug: I needed that bit of levity big time.

you know I have to give one back to you, right? but I guess I have to call this a Fleanie... she's checking out her friend Sassy.

[FizzFuzz]

102. HAAAA hahahahaha HAHHHHH!!

That's a good one!!! Sassy, eh? Fleanie?

Looks like Sassy wants Fleanie to quit sniffing her ..*rhyms with Sassy*
Ohh haaa, sorry that joke sucked.

:hug:

[fleabert]

103. flea and sassy both have the same problem...

neither one wanted THEIR butt to be sniffed, but they HAD to sniff the other's butt! it was quite funny to watch.

(sassy' mom and I have drifted apart the last couple of years, due in part, I believe, to my status as a raging liberal. So they have not seen each other in quite a while) :-(

[FizzFuzz]

104. All dogs are Liberals. And cats are Monarchists.

;)



(and, it seems many of us Liberals have had to protect ourselves and put the walls up around the wingers. Its a case of moral outrage for me.

[fleabert]

105. I hear you.

Sassy was fine little puglet, and I miss her. My friend really changed several years ago, I was shocked to find out she was Red.

[FizzFuzz]

106. that sucks

:(

its something I just can't figure out, and I have all kinds of ups and downs about it. Makes me furious, makes me sick, makes me feel sorry for how someone could be so blind, and makes me wonder how to best rise above how angry I am,...........

[fleabert]

108. from my brain to your keyboard!

I just don't get it.

I told someone recently that I just don't even want to start friendships with people who aren't liberal, because it can only lead to fights and heartache these days. It's just so hard to come together. I even have a hard time with the 'fence folks' because I cannot understand how you can't make a decision with such clearly defined lines of distinction between the platforms. The family member I said this to said I am too strident in my beliefs, I replied that the only thing I am not tolerant of is intolerance, and that's that.

[FizzFuzz]

109. strident?

gee, I don't have a problem with seeing fascism and hate for what it is, and shouting to the rooftops against it. Call me weird.....

I think, some people I can remain frinedly with (in between pulling my hair out as to how I could help open their eyes) because I like them already and they are kind people--just bible-brainwashed and then USED by the christofascists. More chance of them getting it. (and yes, I struggle with being pissed at them for enabling this mess with their votes and their active misguided fundy activities)

The people who are just self-absorbed, hate-lovers, xenophobic, pro-authoritarianism,......I just build a nice big wall against them, and tear my hair out because I am disgusted by their smug, arrogant chimp worship and their hatred of critical thinking. (I have to interact at work, otherwise I wouldn't have to be around them).

[FizzFuzz]

111. hey fleabert, I must bid you a fond goodnighties

The flaming muffin of exhaustion has just fallen off the chandelier of sleeplessness, onto my head.

See? when I'm exhausted, I get absurd.

GooodNight, and keep on, one foot in front of the other...
things will get better

:hug:

[fleabert]

112. thank you, creative one...

may the scrambled egg of good dreams sizzle on your forehead...

I can do it too.


(things seem to be improving, I am feeling much more hopeful about things)

[billyskank]

107. Hi fleabert

Hope you are ok! :hug:

[billyskank]

110. ...

:(

[fleabert]

116. what is it?

I was slow on the draw tonight, searching for baby names in another thread...can you forgive me? (not baby names for me! don't get the wrong idea!)

[fleabert]

113. hi honey!

I am better, it could be worse...but not by much.

I shall survive, don't worry. :hug: esp. if I've got the likes of you in my corner.

[jpgray]

114. I have only two prayers that work consistently

One is a prayer for a nice sandwich, and the other is for a pleasant nap. If either a nice sandwich or a pleasant nap would be useful to you at this time, I will provide my services. And who doesn't like a nice sandwich? Or a pleasant nap? Or sherbet? Or a sundae? I'm going to take a friend out for a sundae tomorrow, and if it's good, we'll think of you. I'm pretty sure no better thoughts could possibly exist than those that occur when eating a good sundae.

(:hi:)

[fleabert]

115. That sounds spectacular.

I haven't slept well in a long time. and a sandwich sounds mighty good, thank you.

:hug:

ps- you remind me of someone I used to know, whose last name was gray I believe...hmmmmmm....that would be weird. ever live in texas?

[jpgray]

125. No, never lived in Texas

We did have the sundae, though.

[khashka]

I'm sure your wisdom, courage and spirit will see you through... I'll buy you a beer on the other side. :)

[Ladyhawk]

124. I'm also an atheist, but I can wish you well.

Probably you have the right idea about not saying too much. I wish I could learn by your example.

[fleabert]

128. thank you. :-)

I am normally the 'spill-it' type too, but this would violate the privacy of another. so, quiet I am, no matter how difficult that is for me. ;-) thanks for the wishes, it means a lot to me. :hug:

[RFKHumphreyObama]

129. Whatever the situation

You have my thoughts, prayers and best wishes for strength and clarity of though. All the very best in getting through whatever situation you are facing :hug:

[fleabert]

130. thank you.

:hug: I cannot tell you how much this thread has done for me, I can't believe it's still going. I feel every bit I have been given.
