What Are You Thinking? Continued 4

[Deleted member 3041612]

I dunno... I wish this place was like it was back in the day. I think it was better. Everything was better.

There were so many more people, I think. And that led to more opportunities.

Or maybe I was just younger and in a new world or something. I dunno. lol

Hi there...
I didn't know you back in the day, but I know you now. I just read the tragedy you're living through. I may be late, but I'll say, there is no correct way to handle something so shocking. I wish I had the knowledge of anything that could help you, your situation...anything.

I say this from the sincerest depth of my being, I wouldn't know what to do either. If I had any way to help you or had any form of knowledge of HOW to get things done, since you put it out there, I'd offer it. If I was in a position to physically donate my time to help you, I would.

Just when I thought I had my plumbing problem fixed, I turned the water back on and the filter housing is still leaking. Either I'm doing something wrong or I just don't have enough strength to get the coupler tight enough.

I need water, I can't bathe, I can't flush my toilet or wash my dishes.

And I can't hire a plumber because I don't have enough money to pay them.

I can never do anything right.

Are you sure you have the threads of the connection aligned properly?

Did you use plumber's tape?

Do you have an adequate wrench?

Are you willing to barter sexual favors in exchange for getting this fixed?

These are all important questions.

Okay, I'm going to make another exception because you've also always been supportive for many years.

I'm very thankful that you would go that far to help me. That's awesome.

Though it's a very dark road, I think I'll end up okay. For me, what seems to help the most is honestly just talking about random stuff not related to that incident. I guess that would be considered "escape," but it is what I feel like is the best because getting my mind off of it helps a lot.

Sometimes, I don't know the words to say to these EXTREMELY kind posts. So, I might not be saying the perfect thing... but I am very very thankful for your kindness.

And you and I have talked before. I mean, we've talked about a lot of stuff.

I remember the last time I talked to you, I was driving to work in a very small town far from home. I was working for CVS. I remember thinking "Is it considered 'texting while driving' if I'm on a forum?" lol

My research has shown me that carpet is £1000 cheaper than even the cheapest laminate flooring - so looks like I’m stuck getting carpet. Carpet looks tricky to fit as well, from the videos I’ve been watching! But if I end up paying someone to fit it for me, carpet fitting is hundreds of pounds cheaper than paying to get laminate fitted.

I think I’m on the right track

Just now catching up with all this. What an awful thing, Chris, I can't begin to imagine. It's good to know you see yourself getting through it. It's also clear that there's a lot of regard and, yes, I'd say love for you here. And if what you need is escape, silliness, and arguing with strangers on the internet, then go for it.

I just watched an anime that got me to thinking. All my life I have been told that things I want are not achievable. That I should lower my standards and be happy with what I have. That I should not strive or be proud of my achievements. Is not PC you know. I have also been told what people think of you matters. I always knew all of that was bullshit but I have never found a way around the stupidity. I still haven’t but I think I will look for a way because I don’t really care what others think and I Am depressingly sick of settling for bullshit. I would ask the reader to wish me luck but I don’t believe in that shit or anyone else’s fake as ego stroking anymore. Have a good day!

You are right. Give me five!

Thinking I'm probably the only man in the Commonwealth of Virginia, or maybe the whole nation, loitering outside a country store before dawn in a Ralph Lauren windbreaker. I stick out just a little bit at the moment.

Man... First of all, I don't know why I'm on Lit right now. Secondly, I don't know why I'm reading this. For my own personal well-being, I really shouldn't be here.

The last 5 months have literally been the worst months of my life. I'm pretty sure I told you the story, and as a matter of fact, I was talking to you right before I heard the news.... BUT maybe you just forgot...

So, let me tell you what happened.

My father took a shotgun and put it to my mother's chest. He pulled the trigger and killed her. Then, he sat down and called 9-1-1. After that, he killed himself with the shotgun.

I think it's fair to say that I'm in a really really really REALLY bad spot right now. And I have been ever since it happened.

There is NO WAY for me to possibly be able to articulate how I have felt every day. There are NO WORDS to express how I feel.

Then you got upset when I said "Hey, you know that wedding you're son is having in 3-4 months? Yeah I can't make it."

On top of that, I sent you a long message explaining in great detail what going on, and you say, "Well but we haven't talked on voice." As if I am obligated to contact you.

My parents just died, I had to let Chloe go because she needed to be in a better home with people who could care for her, I'm moving out of the house I grew up in, I have a million phone calls and text messages and everybody just showing up at my door.........

And you say "The least you can do is tell me you're okay."

I'M NOT FUCKING OKAY! OKAY?!?!?​

I cant even imagine how to deal with something so tragic....just know you are in my prayers and l hope you find the strength from within to move forward. My condolences.

Is there anything worse than getting a message from someone who has apparently been on Lit for fifteen+ years but only has three posts?

Hey thanks!

Should I feel bad for the female ducks? Or I dunno... are they into that type of thing?

Thank you. That's very kind of you. I'm sure I'll be stronger from this experience in the end.

Yep. There actually are worse things. . . .

I hate my AV, now I remember why I never use my photos

Too bad, I kinda liked it, especially since it matched my tie

Thinking that I could possibly be the only person in America with a bubble wand tube currently lodged in a bodily cavity. But I’m guessing I’m not alone. . . .

Hehe. No, they've evolved to receive the corkscrew just fine. There's some wrinkle about species having evolved different rotations, to avoid accidental inter-breeding. Cool, huh?

I think I've also read that drakes are a bit, well, rapey....

Yeah, I suppose that is kind of cool. Are you some kind of biologist or do ducks interest you that much? lol

And I had to Google "drake" because I thought you were talking about dragons. haha

The barbed penis of a tomcat is another one of those horrors of the animals around us as well. Plus some of the other more forcefull mating habits of feline tom's as well.

The penis of a Blue Whale is between 7-10 feet.

I also think we know way to much about animal penises.

Why do I even bother?
