Endless Curiosity

[DarkSimian]

<snip>

Does your attic have a playroom?

It does; I might as well rent it out, for all the use it will ever get....

 

[ViciousTease]

Oh, Honey! I was totally and completely joking!

I, too, am delighted to see the men stepping up to the plate and offering opinions. It adds a nice balance to the female heavy perspective of the thread.

You're doing a great job.

Speaking of the job ... today's question was another Litster submission. Special thanks to him/her and to all of those that have offered suggestions.

That said, I'm running low. If you've got questions, send them my way!

interesting you used the word. "heavy"..
If people thought I was "heavy" before, don't expect much light heartedness from me for a while.

I'm leaving tomorrow, traveling back to NC to attend the funeral of my 19 year old nephew who shot and killed himself this past weekend.
I'm not holding it together very well.
I don't tolerate stupidity on a GOOD day, so, needless to say I've already taken a few heads at work and have them mounted on my desk...
My posting has been sparse, and right now, I am breaking my own rule by trying to disengage from reality.

It's breaking my heart watching my brother try to create a reality that will make any sense of what has happened.

So, my ever burning fuse is at an all time short..

I'm so sorry, RA. Your family has my prayers.

 

[Collar_N_Cuffs]

Oh no, that's.. beyond words RA

 

[AbsintheFather]

RA, now that made me say 'Fuck' today. How horrible. That's such a selfish thing to do. Kid's poor family has to live with this for the rest of their lives. I'm so sorry for you and your family.

 

[Endless_Night]

Oh, RA. Sincerest sympathies. I've lost more than one relative to suicide. One only twenty. It is just...hard to bear, much less understand.

I figured most of my friends on here would understand.
Nevertheless, prophylactic apologies for any snark I might come up with. I'm coping, as it were.
you all
And thank you for your prayers.

*hugs* I'm still a message away if you need to talk my friend.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I can only imagine what you are going through. I won't tell you to be strong, just be whatever you need to be to get through this. Let the heads fall where they may. Much love for you, babygirl.

 

[PeteHulbert37]

You already know I'm not to cool with boundaries. Though, I am very cool with respect. I try to respect others beliefs and boundaries. So far, that has been a good guide for me.

 

[ydahecnot]

VT, I don't know whether to take your response as a compliment or a shutdown

Gawrsh.... You called me baby girl..
That made me smile. Thank you..

Then I worded it perfectly.

(Obviously I can't be on the list since I would give you the time of day, thus my need to pretend)

My heart is heavy. I cannot imagine how yours is.

Gosh, I missed this earlier. That's all kinds of difficult and sad. So sorry to hear this. * hugs *

thank you, Sweetie.

 

[JennyNo1]

RA, this makes me sick at heart, for you, your family, and your nephew. I will keep you in my prayers. *sending lots of hug-thoughts your way*

[ViciousTease]

I'd like to know why so many who have dealt with jealousy on the board lash out in mean ways vs dealing with it themselves internally.

Why is jealousy so hard to deal with? Why does it bring out the bully and make people mean?

 

[PeteHulbert37]

I don't get jealous. We should all join in a massive summer close out beach house party and enjoy a several hundred person orgy.
